Profile | Joan with Five Grain Events | Part 2

What is the thing you enjoy most about your job?

I think the fact that when I’m doing a wedding, I get to be an integral part of one of the best days of that couple’s life…and knowing that I helped them lose all concern about everything except having an incredible time.  It’s a really cool feeling.

Who, if anyone, encouraged you to pursue your dream?

Well when I was considering leaving my full-time job, I thought about it a lot, but when I actually said it out loud I was surprised that my husband was on board!  Then I talked it over with my parents and my in-laws and they were all really supportive.  I think if I hadn’t gotten such positive feedback from my family it would not have been such an easy decision.
