About Donna Bowden

My introduction to professional event planning began years ago, when I was asked by a photographer to assist him when shooting wedding pictures. He was looking for someone with exceptional people skills, organized and had the ability to take charge "gracefully".

While assisting with photography, I met many vendors in the event industry. I watched and learn from these professionals, gathered ideas and began to ponder the option of leaving my "day job" to start a professional event planning company.

As time went on, my "day job" led me to relocate to beautiful Savannah, Georgia, where I accepted a position of leadership in the company. In this position, I planned and executed training meetings, system-wide meetings, and was asked to Chair the "Relay for Life" campaign for the entire company.

Soon, the many vendors I worked with encouraged me to become an event planner. We developed good working relationship and I still work with some of those vendors.

In the back of my mind, I had known for a long time, that one day I wanted to run a business of my own. After having worked in the party, wedding and corporate events arenas, event planning was the natural choice. Ending a successful career with my "day job", it was time to embark on my own venture. Thus, InJoy Events was born.

With a strong customer focus background, where planning and organizational skills are 2nd nature, encouragement from my family and friends and a strong desire to succeed I began to grow my business. And grow it has!!! I truly thrive in this environment and I bring much enthusiasm into my work.

If you are looking for an event planner that is professional, friendly, and business minded, yet fun and creative, you have come to the right place. Call today. Allow my staff and I an opportunity to exceed your expectations for your next event.
