LET’S CREATE SOMETHING UNFORGETTABLE, SAMANTHA & NATHAN!

It’s such a joy to connect and learn about your wedding vision. The way you’re approaching your celebration feels authentic, intimate, and centered around the people who matter most. We can’t wait to help you curate something truly unique, and I’m confident the day will be an unforgettable experience for everyone who attends.

“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!!”
