Saroj James Hyoju, got into DJ industry upon walking into Latin club in Dallas, Texas in 2015. Coming from band background, he was surprised to see how people were moved by “Gasolina”, a reggaeton song. Observing how DJ was controlling the crowd’s energy while enjoying himself, this made him curious about club music genres, besides metal and rock. Following immediately, he hosted a Bring Your Own Beer (BYOB) house party, where 50 people showed up. A week later, he was invited to co-DJ at one of his friends’ wedding reception and rest is the history.

“We had an amazing experience with SaWRose at our wedding! From the very beginning he was professional, attentive and truly understood our music preferences. Also, he has the best style of blending songs, keeping the energy high and made sure our reception was unforgettable. He also did a great job with our cold sparks exit!

Hi! I’m April, Founder & Lead Coordinator of Chrysalis Memories. 😊 I believe life’s biggest moments deserve to feel meaningful, personal, and beautifully celebrated. My journey in weddings and events began in 2010 as an intern with an established event-planning company. After a decade learning the craft and three years working professionally, I bring 15 years of industry experience to every celebration. I’m a hopeless romantic, creative at heart, and detail-loving planner who genuinely cares about people. My goal is to handle the details behind the scenes so you can relax, feel supported, and be fully present for the moments that matter most. My approach is warm, organized, personal, and flexible when plans change. 💕✨

“I was a DIY bride through and through and quite proud of it. I have years of event coordination experience, I'm incredibly detail-oriented, and I know exactly what I want and how to execute it. I was convinced I didn't need a wedding coordinator and I could handle it all myself. I was wrong.... As the wedding date drew closer, the weight of it all hit me at once: managing vendors, finalizing design details, coordinating family flying in from out of state, and somehow getting myself together for the biggest day of my life. It was too much! At the gentle nudging of a friend, I reached out for help. April at Chrysalis Memories answered the call — and I will forever be grateful that she did! From the moment we connected, April was EVERYTHING! She jumped in immediately, listened carefully to my vision, asked all the right questions, and helped me identify the gaps I didn't even know existed. She is patient, kind, and incredibly professional — the kind of person who makes you feel completely at ease even when the stakes are high and family members want to share there "helpful" opinions. And then she delivered. Literally. When we ran into issues with our baker, April didn't just problem-solve — she personally met with the baker, resolved the situation, picked up the cupcakes that were running late, and had them assembled and beautifully displayed before a single guest arrived. That moment told me everything I needed to know about who she is. She also wrangled my wonderfully chaotic crew of friends and family who wanted to help decorate — and somehow managed to coordinate people of every personality type, age, and background into one seamless, cohesive effort. They adored her. Honestly, so did everyone. My only regret? Not hiring April sooner! She made everything feel effortless, joyful, and exactly what I had always dreamed of. All of the little details that mattered to me, mattered to her. My husband and I had the absolute best day of our lives — and so much of that is because of her. If you're on the fence, consider this your sign. You seriously won't regret it!”

Greetings and salutation! I am a blue haired, tattooed geek girl wedding planner with a love of dragonflies & offbeat events! I have also been wedding planning since 2004. I haven't met a DIY project I can't wait to try, a scrapbook page I didn't want to make, or a cosplay idea I didn't want to put together. Watching all the different elements come together to make something come alive is fantastic. I approach all my events the same way. Helping a client pull together all of their puzzle pieces to make an event that is uniquely theirs is the best feeling!

“Our wedding was going to be so simple, if you ask my husband. Tee-shirts. Taco truck. American Legion. Guests. Done. Even he had to thank Fran profusely for all of her foresight, thoughtful touches, and management skills. This was a second wedding for both with kids and exes on both sides. It went off flawlessly, thanks to Fran. Our wedding ceremony and reception were on consecutive days. She printed and framed ceremony pics to display at the reception. She kept an eye on tipsy guests and let us know about potential issues. She found seats for the guests who I had carelessly left off the seating chart. She picked up, deployed, and returned the table cloths and had special little decorations for our table. I couldn't possibly list all the things she did to make the day run smoothly and to make us feel cared for and loved. Thank you Fran. You almost make me want to do it all over again.”

“I came to Sarah with a tall order: for our fantasy-themed wedding cake, I was looking for a fully vegan three-tiered cake with a huge dragon as the decoration. Not only did she deliver, she went above and beyond, hand-painting a gorgeous copper dragon in the colors we requested and crafting edible 3D wings that made it look like it was in flight. The cake was truly the centerpiece of the reception dinner. For flavors, we ordered snickerdoodle, cinnamon mocha latte, and chocolate cookies and cream, all of which were delicious. My personal fav was the cinnamon mocha — 10/10 highly recommend. I would love to order more cakes from Sarah for future celebrations!”

“We had the pleasure of working with DJ Wong from MyDeejay. A quick review of MyDeejay: They were excellent to work with. They paired us with DJ Wong after we filled out a quick survey about the vibe we wanted for our wedding, and it was smooth sailing from there. It's clear from working DJ Wong that MyDeejay vets their DJs very well and ensures they're all professional and great to work with. Now for DJ Wong: He's got all of the main things you want in a vendor--professionalism, responsiveness, expertise, etc.), but he goes well above and beyond those standards. He provided ceremony music, background music, reception music, and uplighting, but that's just the starting point of everything he did for us. We were PICKY and we had A LOT of requests, and he accommodated them all flawlessly and eagerly. We requested he alter versions of some of our selected songs to adjust for timing, blending parts of songs together, and very particular transitions between songs. He made everything sound amazing! We had not 1, not 2, but FIVE choreographed dances throughout the evening, and he executed the timing of everything perfectly. The sound was incredible! In addition to that, because we were completely over-the-top for our wedding, DJ Wong so graciously and excitedly fulfilled our request to have KARAOKE at our reception. It was SO MUCH FUN!!! We had a very particular vibe in mind from our wedding--we wanted our ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner to be classy and jazzy, and then for the reception dancing we wanted a mix of Pop anthems from the past 3 decades--DJ Wong understood the assignment perfectly! We were also at a very large venue and he had to provide sound across many different areas throughout the evening, but he came fully prepared and did an excellent job. We received so many compliments about the ambience for the entire evening, and we attribute that to him! On top of everything else, DJ Wong is an excellent MC and can read a room flawlessly. He kept the vibes up the entire evening, and struck the perfect balance of engaging with the audience and letting the music do the work. We are so grateful we had him for our special day!”
