Joie Inn Grand Opening Week!

Joie Inn Grand Opening Week!

Thank you SO MUCH for all the love on the Grand Opening for Joie Inn ! We had a week's worth of fun, activities and showcased the island community. It was apparent how sweet and caring the people of the island are and I hope if you came and joined in the block party fun, you fell in love with the island as much as we have!
Event Planning & Organization by - We couldn't have done this entire week without the wonderful women of Made Events  & Made Market - They have such beautiful visions and made everything come to life seamlessly. From the mood boards they presented to execution and organization, they were just so amazing. You have to check out the Made Market events - they bring small artisans together in one community market to shop and discover artists you may not know much about. You know I love community! We can't wait to have them back for future events!
Sal’s Craft Corner Sponsored by - House Calls for Kid s  - Thank you for sponsoring Sal's Craft corner - the kids all had so much fun creating take home crafts and digging for 'pearls'!
And we have to shout out the amazing Arielle Vey for capturing the week! She seriously is ridiculously talented and we were all so happy to have her - I couldn't have picked a better photographer to capture the events!
We are sharing all of the details and vendors who made this entire week absolutely perfect. Give them a follow, they are just the best.
