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!

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🤍

YOJ Events was absolutely amazing to work with to plan my Charleston wedding! Jessica, my planner, was there every step of the way, providing excellent support, clarity, inspiration, and reassurance. Her communication and organization skills were best in class, making the planning process feel seamless. BIG thank you to Jessica (& YOJ Team) for helping curate such a special day and the wedding of my dreams!!!

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.

Monique and her team at Yoj Events did an absolute fantastic job at my son and his brides wedding this past weekend. From start to finish the wedding and reception ran so smoothly. This was a destination wedding and they truly could not have done all this without her. She was on point with returning calls and emails, was helpful with any questions that came up. If you are getting married in the Charleston area, I highly recommend Yoj Events! Such an absolute pleasure to work with.

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, 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, 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!

I truly can’t put into words how exceptional Monique and her team are. My husband and I both agreed that after saying “yes” to each other, hiring Monique was the best decision we made regarding our wedding!!! She goes so above and beyond, I have no idea how we could’ve had our wedding without her. We had an unexpected move cross country throughout the wedding planning and Monique made sure we didn’t miss a beat! No detail was ever missed throughout the entire process. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about our wedding, saying it was the best one they’ve ever been to, and it was all thanks to Monique. A complete bonus that it’s also an absolute pleasure getting to know to Monique. My husband and I say how we miss chatting with her now that the wedding is over! I can’t emphasize enough how YOJ Events is the absolute best at what they do. There’s no comparison at all. Thank you Monique!!!!!
