Dan and I have been in a cocoon for the last few days, and as we re-emerge the first thing we wanted to do was thank this mind-blowing COJ team. My mom captured it beautifully, but we just had to add our glowing praise. Cathy, Angela, Dorry, Mandy -- COJ was the best thing to ever happen to our wedding!!!

I'm so glad my mom was determined to make Cathy her BFF before we even signed a contract :) And joking aside, that warmth, generosity of spirit/time, and love that Cathy brought to our meetings and then all of you brought to the whole process was simply amazing.

Our task for you all was super human: create a romantic, modern, black-tie NYE blowout with Sri Lankan and Palm Springs vibes [on a budget] -- what is that?! Well, not only did you understand our vision (by getting to know us as a couple and as families), you enhanced it and then executed flawlessly. We are SO thankful for that personalized vision, creativity, and thoughtfulness.

You also worked as a well-oiled machine with incredible organization that kept us grounded. With your guidance, we felt unwavering confidence in the process. On top of that, your teamwork and all-around positivity was heart-warming. We wanted to hang out with every member of the COJ team we met! We also really, really appreciated your patience and adaptability: Switching ceremony sites 2 weeks before the wedding? No problem for this crew! Not only did you completely reimagine and redesign the ceremony space (during the week of Christmas, no less!), you created a backdrop that took our breath away — one that we will remember for the rest of our lives.

We could go on and on, but we'll leave it here for now. We are so thankful for you, and wishing you all of the best in 2020.

All our love,

Dan & Ayesha

From the Parents of Bride:

We are blown away by how it all our planning and ideas came together on Ayesha & Dan's Wedding Day in the most  breath takingly beautiful way!  You made it happen - flawlessly!  We are ever so grateful!

We can't thank you enough for your visionary creativity, your planning and organization, all your connections, and your willingness to go the extra mile, and the can do attitude.

Cathy, your cheery voice (laced with warmth and laughter giving it life) and calm demeanor helped me get over many anxious moments. You are a consummate professional, and fabulous designer,. You guided us with an unerring eye - to create an elegant, romantic, stylish wedding. It was also very Fun!!  

After working the lighting plans many times over, to create the romance we were looking for in the Wexler Garden, and working hard to keep to the budget, when it became necessary to move inside, you quickly rebooted and worked with Maggie and I to transform that corridor into a magical cermony space. Your insistance of draping the whole space, overcoming my reluctance, truly made a difference. Thank you for pouring so much heart and time into the planning. It showed!!

Dorry, we relied on your artistic talents to refine the vision and create that stunning back drop for photos.  Thank you!!

Angela, you took care of all the coordination and made everything run so smoothly. It was so heartening to have you there with us on the wedding day, shepherding us from one place to another and keeping everyone on time. You got the streamers off the chandellier and made sur the cleaning got done. Thanks a million.

Mandy was an able assistant through it all.

Bravo COJ!!  

With much gratitude,

Yohini & Daya

Hey Cathy, Angela and Mandy,

‍

I wanted to thank you again soooooooooo much for everything! I am still pinching myself-Alex and I cannot believe how magical of a day that was. I know we all put a lot of work into it, but we could have never imagined it would be that special.

Truly, thank you for making our wedding day so extremely memorable...for not just us but all of our guests. I am still getting messages everyday with pictures and compliments on how seamless and smooth the entire event felt.

Planning this wedding was the most fun for me, I really appreciate you letting me be such a big part of the process. I know my dad and I can be extremely particular, so thank you for putting up with us, and for really bringing our vision to life! We had such a great time working with you and all the vendors.

We are sad its over, but are just so proud of how everything turned out!!!! I will continue to relive the day through the photos and videos, which there is no shortage of :)
