Ill 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 Id 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 didnt 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 shed be in touch with the hotel and would call ASAP. I walked into Candices building with a gray face. "Candice, Im sorry to start our meeting on a bad note, but.... the room isnt available until 4 pm for set-up, giving you only one impossible hour." She smiled, picked up her phone and dialed. "Hi, honey. Its Candice. I need you to reserve your building for me on the day and night of September 16, ok....... Yes, ok, thats marvelous. Ill 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. Its perfect. Well 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, lets 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 didnt 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.

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 youd 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 Im saying "Cheers to you, Yoj!" ....mic drops.

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.

Candace did a wonderful job on" Day of Wedding" assistance for my daughters wedding. She was always pleasant and enthusiastic. She made everything run smoothly and we were able to enjoy every minute of the wedding and reception. Thank you Yoj.

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!

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.
