Proposal For

HANNAH & BRIAN

Spring 2026
Final Venue To Be Confirmed

LET’S CREATE SOMETHING UNFORGETTABLE, HANNAH & BRIAN!

I just wanted to say how much I loved hearing about your vision for your wedding weekend in Mexico. It’s so exciting to imagine crafting a celebration that feels both super tasteful and totally memorable — exactly what you want for you and your guests.

Your idea of a full weekend with a welcome dinner, ceremony, reception, and a chill day-before gathering (instead of the usual brunch) feels really special and intentional. I’m loving how you’re thinking about making sure there’s gluten-free food that doesn’t feel like an afterthought, and finding a venue that welcomes kids but still keeps things elegant and not too family-centric.

Honestly, I’m so honored to help you pull this all together — from finding the perfect all-inclusive resort in Cancun, Puerto Vallarta, or Riviera Maya, to handling vendors, design, and guest concierge services. I want this to feel seamless and fun for you, not stressful at all.

We’ll work with your budget to make sure everything feels high-quality without cutting corners, so the whole weekend feels like a dream come true.

Can’t wait to partner with you and make this magical Mexico wedding weekend happen!

“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!!”

“Charley and the team at Coda's literally made our wedding happen. Full stop.”

“When my wife and I first got engaged, I delusionally thought I could plan a chill wedding on my own – you just need a venue, food, a photographer, and some flowers, right? Twelve hours and 27 tabs of florists later, I realized the error of my ways. An effortlessly chill wedding is in fact, A LOT of effort. We had already hired a photographer and booked our reception venue when we reached out to Charley, and she jumped right in without missing a beat.

Charley's greatest assets are her organization (so many spreadsheets!), her ability to stay on top of vendors who are not always as organized as she is, her desire to create a wedding personalized to each couple, and her TEAM. When you hire Coda you don't just get Charley, but Emiliana, Loren, Maggie – sometimes even Charley's mom! Everyone we worked with was so kind and just as organized and capable as Charley.

In the end we had a beautiful wedding weekend that felt totally reflective of us as a couple. And if anything went wrong, I didn't know about it, because Charley and her team handled it before I could ever find out. Thank you Coda's!!”
