Our take
Weddings are one of the most important life events for many Americans, but the stressful organizational process can often ruin it. Many websites claim to provide an all-in-one solution to wedding planning, but these are generally just messy combinations of existing web-services.
Joy provides an all-in-one online platform for wedding planning that focuses on social engagement and collaboration. The platform contains first-party organizational services that span from the engagement process to honeymoon holiday planning, whilst allowing multiple people to get involved to reduce stress and confusion.
Joy presents itself as a unique competitor within the wedding planning industry by providing collaborative and engagement features. This company claims that this prevents situations such as duplicate and conflicting information, overwhelming guestlists and confusing management of dinner menu options.
