Yoj Events

Fantastic experience: Monique and her team were very helpful day of. She made sure our day ran smoothly and always made sure my husband and I were taken care of (drinks in hand, food in our bellies, having fun etc). Highly recommend Monique and her team for your big day!

Fantastic experience: I recently had the pleasure of working with Monique and her team at YOJ Wedding Planning, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the experience! My husband and I were planning this ourselves and couldn't be more grateful for Monique and her teams guidance. From the very beginning, Monique's professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail set her apart. She truly took the time to understand our vision and brought it to life in ways we could have never imagined. Every step of the planning process was seamless, and her ability to stay organized and calm under pressure was nothing short of remarkable. Monique's recommendations for vendors were spot-on, and her expertise made decision-making so much easier for us. On our wedding day, everything ran perfectly—Monique and her team ensured that every detail was flawless, allowing us to fully enjoy the most special day of our lives without a single worry. The decor, timeline, and overall atmosphere were absolutely magical, and we owe it all to YOJ Wedding Planning.

Thank you, Monique, for making our dream wedding a reality!

Fantastic experience: Matt and I had our wedding in April at St Luke’s Chapel and the Historic Rice Mill. Having Monique and her team helping us plan our wedding was the best decision we made. It was impossible to plan a wedding on our own living in Rhode Island. Monique kept us very organized throughout the whole process and had monthly phone calls to make sure we were still on track. Monique and her team always gave incredible suggestions and incorporated everything we wanted for our dream wedding. If you’re on the fence about getting a wedding planner/planning services, DO IT! Our wedding was the perfect day

Fantastic experience: Ashley at YOJ was the best! So easy to work with and extremely responsive. Ashley is also super nice, assertive, organized, and hard working. A wedding planner was a must for me and she made sure everything was perfect for our wedding day. As the bride, I was fully able to relax and enjoy myself at the wedding!

Fantastic experience: Mother-of-the Bride here… Overwhelmed with happiness! One year ago, we visited the Charleston venue where my daughter would be getting married. We also met Jessica Laskow of Yoj Events on that visit. Today, I am sitting at home, with my feet up, reflecting on the perfection of my daughter’s (& new son’s) wedding. The planning began with the list of suggested vendors that Jess/Yoj gave us. From there, she kept track of everything…communications, time-lines, expectations, payments, responses, etc. Because Jess knows the Charleston market (extremely) well, she knew what vendors needed to be booked quickly; making sure my daughter got her first choices. It was so wonderful to mention “Jessica from Yoj” and immediately feel like a priority customer. All the vendor responses were the same, “She is wonderful to work with!” (Such a great feeling for a MOB who didn’t live in the wedding destination) Jessica is the ultimate professional. She showed up for tastings, ran the rehearsal, made sure the vendors knew when & where to be… At every turn she had the ability to command excellence from those involved, while still being Really cool to work with! I Never once doubted that the outcome would be anything but amazing! When I walked into the venue, just prior to the ceremony, I couldn’t help but get teary! Jess had turned that room into my daughter’s dream wedding. I was able to focus solely on my daughter and our family, while Jess did all the heavy lifting. What a gift to the MOB! We couldn’t have done this last year, without Jessica Laskow of Yoj. She was there, Every step of the way, guiding & encouraging us as needed. She truly made magic happen in Charleston and we are forever grateful. Thank you, Jess (& Yoj) for an amazing lifetime memory

Fantastic experience: Hands down, hiring Monique & her team at Yoj Events was the best decision we made in our wedding planning process. When I first walked up to the venue on the day of our wedding, I cried at how beautiful every detail was. It went beyond my wildest dreams. Putting aside the day of, which truly blew my mind, Monique was a dream leading up to it. She is incredibly communicative, responding to every e-mail almost immediately. She has a wonderful vision as to what the day of should look like, but also solicits your input and makes sure that the wedding reflects exactly what you want it to be. Monique was patient, fun, and an incredible sounding board throughout the entire process. Our guests are still raving that it was the most beautiful wedding they've been to. From the get go, Monique was on top of hiring the best and most cost effective vendors in all of Charleston. If I could continue to write about Yoj and Monique and sing her praises, I would. I can't put into words how fortunate we feel that we were able to work with Yoj & Monique for our special day.

Fantastic experience: Monique and her team at Yoj have provided full planning services for the bar and bat mitzvahs for my two children in 2020 and 2023. I cannot say enough good things about Yoj and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. All planning and details were handled seamlessly. Both events were perfect and I received many compliments from my guests. I really appreciated that deference was given to me in areas I wanted more involvement in and in the areas that felt overwhelming, Monique took control to take it off my plate. I have also attended several other events planned by Yoj which were great as well. I felt so much peace of mind knowing that the team at Yoj was handling the planning of these events.

Fantastic experience: Looking for a wedding planner in the Charleston, SC, area? Then look no further than Monique Semper at YOJ Events. We live in Massachusetts – approximately 1000 miles from Charleston --and had less than 8 months’ notice to plan our daughter's wedding. This is not for the faint of heart and we worried that it would be an impossible task. The solution? Monique Semper at YOJ Events. A good friend in Charleston referred us to Monique and it was the best referral we could ever have received. Our daughter and new son-in-law’s wedding was just about 2 weeks ago - early September 2023 - and it was absolutely lovely and everything went off without a hitch! Why? Because of Monique--she is incredibly knowledgeable, resourceful, flexible, responsive, a great communicator, friendly, patient, thoughtful, empathetic, had phenomenal suggestions, and on and on. If we had a question, Monique had the answer! Moments of panic? Not to worry, Monique knows how to manage it. She has literally "seen it all." She was also open to ideas and was willing to explore anything the future bride and groom wanted and was ready and willing to find a way to implement their dreams. She knows everyone in the area, knows the best wedding vendors, and was able to get the best prices for absolutely wonderful vendors. She was the contact/lead on every issue and detail that needed to be implemented! Best aspect, and possibly the most important – Monique is absolutely calm and reassuring throughout the process. She stays with you every step of the way, from opening discussions, and was there bright and early on the wedding day and was there at the very final moments at the close of the reception. Monique is amazing. Bottom line: there is NO way that we could have pulled off our daughter and son-in-law's spectacular wedding in 8 months without Monique and YOJ. She worked tirelessly to make it wonderful and memorable day. We recommend Monique whole-heartedly and if 20 stars were available on a scale of 1 to 10, then we would give her 20 stars! Do not hesitate to retain Monique—she is the best!

Fantastic experience: This is truly the most overdue post of my life but I wouldn’t ever forgive myself if I did not give YOJ Events the praise it deserves. I had a four day American/Indian fusion wedding in Charleston that wouldn’t have been possible without YOJ. To start, we ended up parting ways with our wedding planner four months before our wedding. We weren’t hitting deadlines and given the attention we deserved so was on the hunt for a new wedding planner. When I tell you my husband and I instantly fell in love with Monique, it was INSTANT. She is so wildly attentive, hits the ground running, and on top of her game. Our wedding was handled by Monique and Jordan who were the complete dream team. Jordan hit the literal nail on the head with my vision. I asked for quite a few alterations to stay within budget, hit non-negotiables, food and liquor dreams, etc and she made every revision so quickly and better. Monique and Jordan are truly advocates for what you want and with vendors. In four months they completely learnt what had been planned so far, finished planning, getting vendors, making deals, and executing our dream four day event. They handled every little request with a smile on their face – even with requests and vendor additions the night before. They also were the voice of reason between all the parties involved with the multi-day event when it came to my wants, my husbands wants, and our parents wants. They find a way to always find the happy and best solution. There aren’t enough words to describe how wonderful this team is and I am so sad my wedding is over because it means I don’t get to talk to Monique and Jordan everyday anymore. Hiring YOJ will be the best thing you do – PROMISE. From a once formerly stressed, sad, and upset bride-to-be due to bad wedding planning to a fulfilled, appreciative bride because of YOJ!!

Fantastic experience: To start off, Jessica Laskow did a fantastic job as our lead planner, not only leading up to the wedding, but the day of was such a stress -free & organized day thanks to her! We weren't exactly sure on the process to start, but Jessica took us through one step at a time & offered great vendor recommendations. As a clarification, just because you hire a wedding planner, doesn't mean you're off the hook for everything - you still have to review & make all the decisions, which I wasn't fully aware of the commitment I'd still have to make in the process. However, the last month before the wedding, while some brides are scrambling, Jessica made it seamless & handled all the final details, so I didn't have to worry. She gave helpful advice & was very accessible for questions during the year we worked with her. With her help, the wedding ended up being everything we wanted & we received compliments all night on how well planned it all was.

Fantastic experience: Monique at Yoj events took us in two months before our date after we had a negative experience with another planner. Everyone at Yoj was extremely responsive, helpful, and wonderful to work with. I am someone who asks a lot of questions and they were always quick to respond with an answer for me. They helped design the reception space which turned out beautifully! Day of everyone was super organized, made sure everything went according to plan, and were a delight to work with. Yoj truly saved our wedding when we were in a bad place and made our dream become a reality!

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough positive things about Yoj events and Jessica Laskow , our wedding coordinator. Jessica is professional, direct, easy to work with and calm. A really important quality givenmy daughter's wedding was one day after a hurricane!!. I highly recommend Yoj events

Fantastic experience: My husband I got married at Legare Waring House in Charleston, SC on May 29, 2022. We used the services of YOJ Events, owned by Monique Semper. Let me tell you, they did not disappoint! During our wedding planning, we lived in California and needed the help of a wedding planner to plan a wedding from across the country. We researched wedding planners in the Charleston area, and from the very first phone call with Monique, I just felt like she just ‘got me’ and my vision, even throwing out cool ideas and possibilities even from the very first phone call (which I loved and was so impressed)! Additionally, Monique and her team are some of the sweetest people we had ever met. They were more than willing to bend over backwards for their clients, and Monique and her team truly make you feel like they care about making your big day special! Working with Monique was incredibly easy. You get that one-of-a-kind boutique service that is extremely personalized. Monique and her team were always available for calls, even with the big difference in time zones, and responded to emails in a timely manner- many times even within an hour or two. YOJ Events has many contacts in and around Charleston, whether it be for venues or vendors, so we felt like we always had a lot of options. Their recommendations were always on-point, with vendors who were well-known and with excellent reviews. If something was out of our price range she would either negotiate, or look elsewhere, often coming up with even better plans or designs. Also, I really appreciated Monique’s organization. My husband and I have extremely busy work schedules, so it was great that she was able to keep us on top of deadlines. Throughout the wedding day, Monique and her team stayed behind the scenes, but were always nearby in case of any questions or problems. She was busy coordinating music, food, photography etc. to ensure a seamless day. Monique is extremely professional, courteous, and polite with an awesome sense of humor. It is apparent that Monique loves her job, because it shows through in her beautiful work. I’ve never seen such attention to detail. YOJ Events really outdid themselves. I felt like my wedding was nothing like anyone else had ever seen, and I loved that it was so personalized and unique. Monique and her team were able to make my wedding day even more beautiful and fabulous than I had imagined in my head. My husband, myself, and all our guests said they'd never seen anything so amazing!! YOJ Events made our wedding the most magical day of our lives. If anyone is planning on getting married in or around Charleston, you will not go wrong with hiring YOJ Events!

Fantastic experience: I cannot speak highly enough about Monique and her team at Yoj Events. My fiancé and I wanted to get married in Isle of Palms, SC within 90 days of getting engaged. Due to the pandemic, neither of us had ever been there! But, we found the most amazing venue and just needed help planning the rest! From the first phone call, Monique took the time to learn about us and the vision we had for our special day. We were impressed by her professionalism, easy-going personality and attention to detail. We clicked with her right away and knew she would do a wonderful job planning our wedding. Monique recommended high-class vendors and her attention to detail in putting together the wedding day itinerary was amazing. She did a great job communicating with us, both on our wedding day and in the weeks leading up to our wedding. She made sure we were timely with our decisions and that we knew the items we were responsible for… and she also made sure everything stayed on time and flowed smoothly the day of our wedding. Our wedding was even better than we could have imagined and we truly got to enjoy our day. I would highly recommend Monique and Yoj Events to anyone… they were a pleasure to work with and we couldn’t have pulled off our wedding without Yoj Events. Our guests are still talking about the food, music and ambiance. It was the most perfect day!

Fantastic experience: Jessica and the YOJ team made our day everything we could have hoped for and so, so much more. From keeping us organized, and on top of everything. To offering us advice on vendors, coming up with the best ideas, and just being the listening ear to vent too. We think this was the best investment for our wedding day!! Cannot thank them all enough for going above and beyond.

Fantastic experience: Monique and her team are AMAZING! I could not have done it without them. Monique kept me organized and thought of everything. Monique and her team are very organized and prompt. I had my wedding at my grandparent’s home in the Old Village. They did not have anything to accommodate a wedding, but it had been my dream since I was young to have it there. Monique /her team were able to figure out a way to work around the unfamiliar venue. Monique made the wedding of my dreams come true. She had great suggestions and also was very familiar with the vendors around town. We were able to save money by using her because of her connections. Monique/her team and the people at Event Haus were able to bring in tents, chairs, generators, lights, etc in order to make the venue feel like a wedding and not just an average backyard. I could not recommend YOJ events more. They are all amazing.

Fantastic experience: My now husband and I were married in early November in Charleston, SC. Partnering with Monique Semper and her team at Yoj Events was THE best decision we could have made in regard to our wedding planning. Monique provided the perfect balance of professionalism, warmth and guidance as we worked through details of our Big Day. My advice to others who are engaged -- make the call to Yoj Events early on. Let them leverage their experience and expertise to connect you with vendors, provide guidance, and manage the details so you can savor this time and enjoy your engagement! Monique and her team thought of everything - addressing any questions I had and giving me peace of mind as our wedding day approached, knowing the day would go smoothly from beginning to end. Our wedding day was perfection and will forever be captured in our hearts and memories. Words can't express our thanks to Monique and the Yoj team for all of the thoughtful planning that went into our special day!

Fantastic experience: From the initial meeting helping us clarify the vision to the very moment we said "I do" to our final toast, everything was considered. Monique and her team at Yoj went above and beyond to help us create the wedding we dreamed of. Best decision working with Yoj. When we renew our vows, we will definitely have them by our sides.

Fantastic experience: What a great team! We love working with YOJ Events.

Fantastic experience: I always believed that the true character of an individual, and for that matter, a company, does not present itself in ordinary times. In times of hardship, when they are needed the most, that is when you find out what the character of a person really is. Monique, and the staff at YOJ stood by us through the replanning of our daughters wedding three times, with compassion, encouragement and thoughtfulness. Throughout the process, her advice on what to expect from, and how to deal with numerous vendors was invaluable. Countless phone calls, texts, that where answered almost immediately, and numerous emails later, there was Monique guiding us through the day at Cannon Green. I could write several pages on how well they did and how hard they worked, but I just want to relay how we hired YOJ. My daughter had interviewed several planners and then had an appointment with Monique. At this point she was just not connecting with anyone. Then she called me and said, “Dad this is it! Monique is who we need, trust me on this.” I wrote a check that day and never looked back. I know Monique and YOJ will have continued success In the future and can not recommend them enough for anyone looking for an event planner. Thanks Monique!

Fantastic experience: As my now husband and I began planning for a destination wedding in Charleston, we quickly realized that all of the top venues require or strongly recommend an event planner, and Yoj was on almost every list of recommended planners. From the moment we spoke to Jessica, we knew we were hiring Yoj events. We selected the full planning package and only had to make two trips to Charleston over the course of a year to make our dream wedding come to life. Jessica took care of the rest and was in constant communication with us. Then Covid-19 happened. Our wedding had to be postponed and Jessica worked tirelessly around the clock to help us to secure all of our vendors for a new date. Days before the new date, a travel ban forced us to cancel the wedding. Jessica was able to pull off an elopement true to our wedding vision in four days with all of our original vendors including our dream get away car. She helped us to orchestrate an elopement reception with surprises from a few of our amazing vendors. Realizing that none of my friends or bridesmaids could be there to help me to get ready, Jessica didn't think twice about helping me to get ready, putting in my veil, escorting me to my Dad, and being my support system the day of the elopement. In the uncertainty of the world today, you need Jessica and Yoj. I promise that you will be taken care of regardless of the circumstance. They recognize and honor the truly human aspect of your wedding day, especially during times like these. They will fight for you and will make your dream happen, whatever it takes. Thats what you need in a wedding planner in 2020 and beyond.

Fantastic experience: We had a wonderful experience with Yoj!!! With all the rescheduling we had to do this year, they were so accommodating, responsive, and quick to make all the changes we had to make!! They are extremely responsive, professional and experts in their field!! Monique, the owner and her two assistants, Kendall and Hannah are such a pleasure!! We are finally married and back from our honeymoon thanks to them!!!!!

Negative experience: Extremely disappointed with the service and value I received with YOJ Events. The way our planning was handled was poor to say the least; the service they provide for the price they charge could easily be accomplished on your own. I would not recommend after the experience we had.

Fantastic experience: As a fellow vendor in the special events community of Charleston, I can say with certainty that you are good hands with the YOJ Team. They take care in bringing their client's vision to fruition with thoroughness and thought. Five stars!

Fantastic experience: My fiancé wasn’t totally sold on the idea of the wedding planner when we got engaged and it ended up being his favorite vendor we booked. Monique and Hannah at Yoj events were incredible! Planning a wedding is stressful, but planning a wedding during COVID19 felt impossible without the help of the Yoj team. They were supportive, creative, fast to reply and come up with solutions and ideas, no matter time of day. The day of the wedding they were flawless. Kept us on time and made sure we were taken care of the entire time! My guests loved them and we were beyond thankful for them! We could have not pulled off our perfect wedding without them! Thank you!!!

Fantastic experience: Kendall did an amazing job! Everything was better than we could have ever imagined!

Fantastic experience: Yoj Events / Monique did a fantastic job assisting with our daughter’s wedding. Monique is genuine, extremely organized and promptly addresses any issues or concerns that may come up. Her team works well together from the planning phase through the event. Having lived in the Charleston area all of her life gives Monique the advantage and makes her a reliable source for recommending venues and vendors. Yoj Events is reasonably priced and is highly recommended – Thanks again Monique …

Fantastic experience: Monique and Kendall were the main fixtures that helped me plan the wedding of my dreams. I would HIGHLY recommend these ladies to any couple getting married in Charleston, SC! We used the partial planning service. Monique was highly attentive from the start and helped me really figure out my vision. She kept track of all of the vendors that I picked and the never ending checklist of things! From start to finish she was amazing! She and Kendall helped with coordination on my special day, and not only did she run interference with a family member’s significant other, but she made sure that everyone was happy and content and knew what they were doing! She kept track of our timeline, our setup, and made sure that I was able to eat! (I stated at the very beginning that this was one of the most important things to me - the food at our venue was AMAZING) Not only did she make sure I ate, she coordinated cake, toasts, and even a picnic for us when we got home. Monique handled all of our rental orders for us, which was a huge relief and made our day of so much easier and enjoyable! She made sure that I had all of the contracts in order and that all of our vendors were taken care of. I’m pretty sure that she and Kendall also made batteries magically appear for our LED candles and they found sparklers after we forgot to bring them over from my in-law’s house on Mount Pleasant! No detail was too small for them. They kept our timeline realistic and also made sure that our guests had everything that they needed, and that they were having fun as well! They truly made sure that my wedding day was everything that I ever dreamed it would be. If you’re on the fence, don’t hesitate - have Yoj events help you make your wedding incredible!

Fantastic experience: Yoj Events is amazing! I photographed a wedding they coordinated at The Dewberry Hotel, and it was immaculate. They knew exactly how to layout the day, keep everything flowing smoothly, and not to mention their eye for decor is amazing! So thankful for talented wedding vendors like Monique + her team; would hire them in an instant!

Fantastic experience: YOJ helped plan and coordinate my wedding and they were the best! They had great opinions about everything, they were quick to reply and never pushed me one way or the other on any given detail. On the day of the wedding they were prompt in dealing with a mini emergency (that was not their fault), and handled it with grace! During the reception that were so helpful in making sure Heath and I were on target, in the right place at the right time and had a drink and some food to eat! The very best!

Fantastic experience: When my wife and I began planning our wedding in Charleston, SC, we were hesitant about using a wedding planner. However, this may have been one of the best wedding planning choices we made leading up to the wedding. There are so many positives about using this wedding planner and no negatives we can think of. Morgan from YOJ displayed true excitement about our wedding and had an answer or quickly found the answer for every question we had for her. She was flexible, worked with us on every point, and put together one of the most memorable nights of our lives. From the first day we met with her, through the cake tastings, DJ and photographer recommendations, and personally attending and coordinating during the night of the wedding, Morgan worked to make this wedding as close to perfect as possible. Since that night, we have continually had our guests mentioning how great of a time they had, from the beginning of the ceremony, through the reception, until the final song of the night. A large part of this was due to the work of Morgan from YOJ. We highly recommend Morgan and the YOJ team for weddings or any other events in the Charleston area.

Fantastic experience: The best event planning company in Charleston.

Fantastic experience: Yoj Events did an amazing job coordinating the event I attended in Charleston. I loved how they transformed a boring hotel ballroom space to a magical underwater ocean fantasy. It was gorgeous. Their attention to detail was impeccable. The entertainment was fabulous, too. I highly recommend their services for any event, large or small.

Fantastic experience: The atmosphere that the team created for the theme of our party was amazing. No detail was missed and most importantly, EVERYONE had a great time! I would definitely recommend Yoj Events again and again!

Fantastic experience: I was a guest at an event that was coordinated by Yoj Events. It was beautifully done, and as a guest-was just seamless. I would highly recommend their work.

Fantastic experience: I'll apologize in advance for the length of this review, but someone has to say it. YOJ is flawless in events coordination. I retained their services a year in advance of my inauguration as the Tennessee REALTORS President. With our event being out of state every three years, we had never hired a local coordinator. After tons of investigation, I decided to meet with Candice and her team. I told her I wanted an aquatic cirque-like theme, without being literal with the ocean metaphors. Candice and team immediately went into "this is what we are doing" mode. From that moment, I knew I'd be hiring them. What transpired over the next twelve months is textbook worthy. The communication, the preparation, the availability, all of it was perfect. When we were six weeks out from the event, I took a trip to Charleston to do a final walkthrough of all the events. At 10 pm the night before my final meeting with YOJ, I discovered the hotel staff had made an error and booked something in our event space up til 4 pm the day of the inauguration. Candice had told me it would be a 9 am load-in months prior. Since we handled hotel logistics on our end, I knew the hotel had dropped the ball. I didn't sleep all night, and my meeting was first thing in the morning. I sent an email to my staff liaison at our organization at 3 am. I woke to a call from her saying she'd be in touch with the hotel and would call ASAP. I walked into Candice's building with a gray face. "Candice, I'm sorry to start our meeting on a bad note, but.... the room isn't available until 4 pm for set-up, giving you only one impossible hour." She smiled, picked up her phone and dialed. "Hi, honey. It's Candice. I need you to reserve your building for me on the day and night of September 16, ok....... Yes, ok, that's marvelous. I'll let you know if I need it later today. Goodbye." The color of stressed gray on my face turned to orange confusion. "Brian, my friend has a fabulous space he just renovated. It's perfect. We'll save enough money on the food with a private caterer that we can easily provide executive coaches from the hotel AND have money left over." I smiled, turning back to my normal color of pastey white. Candice, smiling calmly said, "Now, let's get to the important things and discuss your event." All was well in the universe. We worked out the hotel issue on our side and didn't need plan B, but Candice and team was calmly ready. When the week arrived, Candice and team were on-site at our arrival to make sure we were fully welcomed and communicated with. A gift was in my room waiting for me. Then, Tropical Storm Julia hit. Candice hand delivered umbrellas for my entire family to the hotel in torrential downpours. When the big day arrived, there was zero..and I mean ZERO stress. From the photography session all the way to the doors closing at the end, they were perfect. When I walked up the stairs we were greeted by aquatic characters welcoming the guests. The doors opened to a hotel ballroom transformed into an underwater magical place, including black light jellyfish-like creatures over a stage with water running around the edges. Hanging from the ceilings were oceanic acrobats pouring drinks and mingling with guest. At production time, each of the 50+ stage participants were in perfect order for our 500 guests. They knew were to go and when. No one even noticed the stealth team of YOJ professionals wearing black with headsets on making everything execute flawlessly. After the program, the band YOJ picked and all the entertainers started their parts and the bars opened. We hit two bumps that Candice had no control of knowing they would happen. She was accessible in a snap. When I told her the bumps, they were fixed within seconds with a smile. At the end of the night, tears flowed down my face as I gave Candice the biggest hug of my life. This group had delivered not merely and event, but an experience that my friends, family and colleagues will never forget. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me for a reference.

Fantastic experience: Yoj made our wedding amazing down to every little detail. I was a type B bride, but Candice helped me pull it together. She made the couple who barely planned anything look like rock stars. We were total slackers, but you'd never know it by attending our wedding. We started out saying we wanted to elope and ended up with an enormous and beautiful wedding. Candice worked really hard to incorporate what we wanted while giving it the Yoj touch. There were so many thoughtful little surprises throughout the night. We got married and the Yoj staff had our favorite drinks in hand as we walked out of the ceremony. If you want to lower the stress level while event planning, you are in good hands with Yoj and you can relax knowing your event will be all you imagined and more. When I met Candice, I got a "Cheers From Yoj" bottle of champagne and now I'm saying "Cheers to you, Yoj!" ....mic drops.
