WGM Welcomes our new Intern- Joy Yanazaki

Weddings by Grace and Mona has a new intern! Joy Yanazaki has started working in our office as of Monday, September 7th. Joy will be helping with correspondence between vendors and clients for our upcoming weddings in the next couple of months. She will also have the opportunity to be on site at a wedding coming up this month where the ceremony will take place at Byodo Inn Temple with a reception following at the Kahala Hotel.

When Joy was asked to write about herself, here is what she said, " I was born and raised in Honolulu. Although I grew up near Waikiki Beach, I would rather go shopping, dance, eat at nice restaurants and watch movies. Event plannign has been a passion of mine since high school, where I participated in plannign a variety of fundraiser, assemblies, proms/banquets and luaus. After graduation from Kalani High School, I knew I wanted to be an event planner for weddings and corporate events. I like the idea of working with other people and helping make their lives more simple. To further my education in the business aspects of event planning, I decided to attend the University of Hawaii at Manoa, were I am currently finishing my last year in studying Marketing and Management. I am so excited to work with the team at Weddings by Grace and Mona this semester!"

We are also very excited for Joy to work with us! It's always great to have another pair of eyes to stay on top of details and new viewpoints to help keep ideas fresh, fun, and filled with meaning. Our couples will receive Joy's acute attention to their needs as she learns the workings of the wedding coordinating business.
