Working with Courtney made the wedding planning process and "day of" seamless. She's so organized and easy to work with. She made the day go from a dream to reality with such ease and it was literally perfect. On our wedding day and the days leading up, we didn't have to think of a single thing. She made sure everything came together just the way we imagined. Even if we had the opportunity to do it again, we wouldn't do anything differently, starting with hiring Courtney.

Courtney was phenomenal! She took the time to get to know us on our very first phone call, and from then on out, she brought our dream to life! Courtney did an amazing job, hand picking vendors for every part of the wedding. Her attention to detail kept us on track and ahead of the game the entire 10 months of planning…. Courtney went above and beyond to make sure every detail we had requested was fulfilled--down to the smallest detail of a certain photo, prop, or musical integration. Courtney is not only extremely organized and on top of everything, but she is also kind and has become a friend. Her heart for making our vision come to life brought us such joy and deep gratitude… Our friends and family raved about how wonderful and helpful she was that day and said the day wouldn't have been the same without her! Thank you, Courtney, for everything!

We spoke with multiple wedding planners and chose Courtney because of her clear drive to do whatever would make us happy. Courtney’s extensive experience and contacts in the industry were priceless in helping us choose vendors. She was incredibly organized and made the whole wedding planning process feel seamless. We absolutely adore her and cannot recommend her enough!

Absolutely INCREDIBLE wedding planner and entire event team!! We used them for our entire wedding weekend to put on 2 extensive events and hired Courtney for the comprehensive wedding planning package from the start. We then brought in many of her girls to help execute the wedding. Courtney and her team go so above and beyond!! Could not recommend them more :)
Love Notes
“It’s not exaggerating to say that we would have lost our minds without Courtney keeping us on target. On the day, we had Hillary there to run the show. She could not have been more amazing, and she made sure everything ran smoothly all day.”
