Recommendations

We only had two months to plan our wedding. Courtney was great about working within our budget, which was very low, and managing our short time constraints. We brought in a specialist for decorating the venue, but Courtney ended up handling it herself to reduce the cost. She even went to the flower mart the morning of our wedding at 2 am to select and deliver the flowers!  

Courtney was great!  She selected an excellent caterer and her event crew did a great job!  I didn’t worry about a thing.  I received a lot of compliments on how nice everything looked and how smoothly the event went.

Courtney was very confident and more assertive than I expected.  As a wedding planner, these are important qualities.  She was very detailed.  She obviously loves to create a fun, beautiful event.  She has a passion for this business.

Courtney was always very enthusiastic… She is extremely professional and was an absolute pleasure to work with.
