Cathy O'Connell

Co-Founder / Managing Partner, COJ Events

I love helping people laugh, cry, and find the heart in special moments. Weddings are all about love and joy, and I feel honored to help couples celebrate that love. Through my work as the co-founder, I guide couples and help them find unique and creative ways to celebrate their connection.  I can’t think of a better way to help make the world a better place. 

My successful career in Silicon Valley – designing fabulous interiors, producing huge projects, negotiating multi-million dollar deals, managing a large staff, facilitating personal growth workshops – taught me critical skills required for exceptional wedding planning. Using Palm Springs as our base has given me opportunities to design events that are not boxed in a traditional framework, and are a true reflection of the couple celebrating love.
