Monique
Semper

OWNER 

Monique Semper draws from over 30 years in the Charleston hospitality and event planning industry to create gorgeous weddings and memorable events.

Born to European parents, Monique’s industry experience extends even deeper than owning her own planning firm. From previously running The Trawler Restaurant on Shem Creek with her father, Horst Semper, to serving as Special Events Manager for the Greater Charleston Restaurant Association, Monique takes great pride in creating personalized events and has always maintained the ultimate goal of executing the client’s vision and making their wedding day as seamless and enjoyable as possible while maximizing the wedding budget. Let Monique and her team’s expertise, guidance, and extensive experience help you host a flawless and spectacular event, from small, intimate celebrations to large, festive parties!

I would highly recommend Monique Semper and her team at YOJ Events. From our first interaction through the day of our wedding, Monique was there for us every step of the way. Her attention to detail and ability to field many questions about wedding day logistics, as well as her expertise and knowledge of vendors in Charleston, were amazing. No request was too big or too small for her to handle. She was also friendly, professional, and flexible throughout the entire process. I felt like she went above and beyond throughout the planning process and truly exceeded my expectations of what a wedding planner could do! Thank you Monique!! Would love to work with you and YOJ again for any event!

STELLAR TEAM

Monique and her team are an absolute dream. They easily understood my apprehension with planning and decision making and didn’t skip a beat. Monique was always quick to think creatively to make the most of our budget and she thoroughly understood the energy we wanted for our big day. The day of our wedding, I was beyond impressed and thankful for the YOJ team’s precise skill. They made sure we were well fed, never without a drink, always enjoying ourselves and made sure we were calmly aware of the schedule throughout the day. Seriously. Don’t look any further, you found your event planning team.
