Dear Barbara,

I am wishing to share my extremely positive experience with my daughter's Spring Bat Mitzvah, at the JCC. We chose this site to support the JCC and show our desire to create a relaxed and intimate celebration without the hoopla and formality of a hotel environment.

I was lucky and blessed to have the guidance and support of Marcia Coleman-Joyner, an event coordinator, certified wedding consultant and owner of A Joyous Occasion and Kristen Dickens caterer and owner of Party Helpers. Every detail was attended to from initial set-up to complete coordination. This provided a stress-free celebration for our daughter and family. I was able to be a hostess without the worry of watching every detail of the event.

Many members of the San Jose Jewish community have also used Marcia's services for wedding coordination.

I hope you include this letter in your Celebrations Guide. I highly recommend the services of A Joyous Occasion for anyone planning any type of special event, fundraiser or wedding. For the past 3 years I have used the services of A Joyous Occasion to coordinate very successful dinner events for WATCH, a women's shelter for which I volunteer.

Sincerely,

Maxine Cohen
