Proposal For

CARMEN’S 50TH BIRTHDAY PARTY

March 2026
Saint Louis, Missouri

LET’S CREATE SOMETHING UNFORGETTABLE FOR CARMEN!

We’re here to craft celebrations that reflect your unique story and style, blending imagination with personal touch.

We delight in the non-traditional and the whimsical, bringing to life those little surprises and special details that make your event truly one-of-a-kind. By keeping our focus intimate, we ensure that each celebration receives our full attention, turning every moment into a beautifully orchestrated memory.

Our services extend beyond the event itself. With our comprehensive travel planning, we handle all the details of your journey, ensuring your path to your dream destination is as seamless and inspiring as the celebration we’ve planned for you.

“I cannot say enough
good things about the whole Coda’s team.”

We almost did not hire a day of planner and I cannot imagine not having them there to help with everything. They truly went above and beyond throughout our entire wedding planning process to make our day special. Not only are they super organized and efficient, they are the sweetest people you could ever meet. We had to move our ceremony inside at the last minute due to weather and Morgan was on top of it the entire time keeping us updated and making sure things ran smoothly. She was also constantly checking in on us throughout the day to make sure we had everything we needed. We are very fortunate to have had them there sharing our day with us. We love u guys!!”

YOUR WEDDING FAIRY GODMUVA

Hello! I’m Charley

Hey, hey! It’s ya girl, Charley! I’m the founder, creative director, & fairy godmuva of Coda’s Events, a St. Louis wedding and event planning company making magic for the lovers. With my classic Pisces energy and creative vision, I began growing Coda’s Events from family birthday party planning to the full-service wedding design and coordination company it is today.

With every event, I fall more in love with not only the wedding industry, but also the dedicated vendors and small businesses who go above and beyond to help me execute each special day.

Thanks to the help of the Angels i’ve picked up along the way, we’re able to deliver authentic and meaningful wedding design to modern couples, and continue to grow our business to serve you, our wonderful clients who have entrusted the Coda’s Crew with one of the most magical days of your life.

I’m a Pisces, of course I have a song and scent for every mood.
