We have been doing wedding, social, and corporate planning for over 10 years personally. Apropos Creations as a company was launched in September of 2009 and continues to do what we love best!

I was born to a very social mother who dragged me to every single birthday, reunion, school, and church function, along with my husband, who truly noticed my passion and how much I enjoyed planning our wedding and coordinating friends’ and family’s wedding and events are really what got me started. My husband persisted in getting my wedding planning business off the ground almost every day from the day we got happily married 21 years ago.

 I finally faltered, and so here I am.

While I cannot speak for the other wedding and event coordinators out there I can, however, speak for Apropos Creations! As mentioned before, my business was founded on a passion that I have had for this business and with time, that passion only continues to build and get stronger! I believe in an excellent saying “Do what you say you are going to do, and when you are going to do it” and I continue to stand behind what I say and do! Your event, whether it is your big day or another special occasion in your life, will be treated with the utmost priority and detail down to the place setting! I have a bountiful amount of resources and contacts that I work with on a daily basis to help you create the event of your dreams and within your budget.

We have designed a variety of packages to fit everyone’s style, personality, and budget. These packages range from full wedding planning to “day of” wedding coordination. You will surely find one that will fit in your pocket.

Apropos Creations can tailor these services to ANYONE! We however especially love working with brides and grooms that are willing to accept and are open to suggestions. Regardless of how much assistance you need, from complete guidance to a few tweaks, or to just be there to listen to you vent, we are there to support you in any way.

When we work with our clients, we expect them to be open and honest with us so you benefit from the services that you have hired us for, whether it is coordinating, planning or designing. This will help avoid any issues that may arise while we are working together in making your day special and flawless.

As much as we love planning weddings, we know that this is not our wedding. We are here for you! Your wish is our command and all we are after is for you to enjoy this very special day, your wedding. We want what you want, a beautiful and immaculate wedding that you will always treasure throughout time and that is our pledge to you.

Most definitely! We see it as a window of opportunity to gain new resources in the industry and we love working with new vendors and getting to know and seeing how they work. I have always believed in working as a team regardless if we have worked or not worked with the vendors already chosen.

Do you belong to any organizations or associations?

We sure do. We currently belong to Association of Certified Professional Wedding Consultants (ACPWC) which is where we had gotten our training course from and they have monthly conferences to give support and to educate us with the current trends. We also belong to Wedding & Event Networking (WEN), here in Phoenix, AZ so we can build new and strengthen relationships with a variety of vendors locally.

We take all types of payments from credit cards, checks, and of course, cash we offer a payment plan that will surely not break the bank. The full amount is divided up in four payments which will help put ease in your financial situation. The payment will be spread throughout from the time you accept the agreement all the way to one week before your wedding.

The maximum number of weddings we do a month is two. This will ensure that you are our focus and we won’t spread ourselves thin and will be unable to function at 100% for you.

The next step is to call me at 480-216-4630 or you can email me to set up a get acquainted complimentary consultation. I want to hear about your needs and see if we’re a good match and what package fits your personality, style, and budget best.

Discovering my passion for event planning in the Philippines, I, Jo Ann M. Grant, CPCE, a first-generation Filipino-American, accompanied my mother to social gatherings, honing my innate talent for socializing and organizing. Throughout high school, I led committees, fundraisers, and associations, refining my event coordination skills.

Married since January 1998 to my supportive husband, Amoa, my dream of becoming an event planner blossomed with his encouragement. Witnessing my dedication and joy in planning our wedding, Amoa urged me to pursue my passion professionally.

In October 2009, I embarked on a journey to formalize my skills with an online wedding planning course, birthing Apropos Creations, LLC. Specializing in South Asian weddings, my company, deeply rooted in culture and traditions, infuses every event with my immigrant background.

Recognizing the importance of ongoing education, I hold a CPCE certification, ensuring Apropos Creations stays at the forefront of industry trends.

Today, as the proud owner of Apropos Creations, I continue to create unforgettable experiences. With over a decade of expertise, I turn dreams into reality, celebrating cultural heritage and traditions.

 

If you’re looking for an intimately personal wedding day with the flawless coordination that makes every memory a treasure, Apropos Creations has a wide range of wedding planning packages that will suit any budget. I pledge you my devotion in creating a wedding or event that is as unique as you are, leaving you with delightful memories that will last a lifetime.
