Korinna and her team at Le Festin are by far the BEST!

In a nutshell, Korinna Peterson-Le Festin Events is the most professional, beautiful, smart, creative, organized, extremely nice and honest Wedding Planner! 1000% I highly recommend her to anyone that wants a perfect and beautiful wedding! Hiring Le Festin was by far the best money spent throughout the whole wedding planning!
My daughter was married a few weeks ago on October 6, and it was the most beautiful, fun day of our lives!! My daughter and her fiancé decided to have a destination wedding in a location between our family and his, which turned out to be on the Central Coast of California. We found the most beautiful venue, CaliPaso Winery and Villa in Paso Robles, Ca. Because we were not familiar with the area we decided to hire a wedding planner.
We had been looking at different wedding videos and found a beautiful video of a wedding that took place at CaliPaso, and the design was so spectacular we looked into who had created it. That’s how we found Le Festin Events and the owner Korinna Peterson. Boy did we luck out finding and hiring Korinna! From day one she was on top of everything! She helped us find top-notch vendors from the DJ, Photographer, Videographer, florist, etc, always keeping our budget in mind. My daughter has a very busy schedule so it was important to have someone keeping everything on track. The year-long journey of wedding planning was long, and sometimes painful but I can’t tell you what a comfort it was to have a professional that was keeping everything on track and easing our minds as we soldiered on through the planning!
When “Month of” came, Korinna took total control of everything and we were so happy she did. Emotions were running high the closer we got to the wedding, so Korinna was truly a God-sent! She kept everything on track and organized. She is so amazing!! Then day of, I thought I would be nervous with so much going on. But, I was NOT nervous; we had so much confidence and comfort knowing that Korinna and her team were handling everything. We just had to worry about ourselves getting ready, hair, makeup, which she even had a perfect schedule for all that too! We were able to just enjoy EVERYTHING! The design was gorgeous, so many comments from guests on the beauty of the design, and the layout down to the special little details. The relationships Korinna has with all the vendors also played into how perfect and smooth everything was. From the Photographer, the DJ, the Florist – they have so much respect for each other and it showed in how they worked so cohesively together!
I know I wrote a book here, but Korinna deserves so much praise and appreciation! She truly made my daughter’s wedding the dream she always wanted, and the most beautiful day in our lives for both our families!!
Thank you again Korinna!! You will be in our grateful hearts, and part of our family forever!!

Hiring Korinna was hands down the best decision I made for my wedding! I didn't know a whole lot about wedding planning, but she put me at ease as she was very knowledgeable, thorough, professional, quick to respond, creative, and very easy to work with. She made my wedding planning experience as stress free as possible!
Aside from that, she went above and beyond from what I expected from her. She designed a very simple, yet elegant and beautiful wedding for me. I believe Korinna was truly able to capture our personalities and put "us" into the wedding in subtle ways. She thought of things I wouldn't have thought of myself. She respected our budget and tried to stick to it by offering alternative options for us. There were also a couple of times where I messed up, but Korinna was so patient with me.
Korinna and her team on my wedding day were so awesome. Everything went so smoothly and on time. Our families are still raving about how beautiful our wedding was! I truly enjoyed working with Korinna; she was always so positive. I highly recommend Korinna and her team to anyone looking for a wedding coordinator! She is the best!

You will not be disappointed hiring on Le Festin Events to plan your wedding! I worked with both Vanessa and Korinna and you truly could not go wrong with either of them. I spoke with five different planners during the time I was prospecting and Le Festin Events was by far the most reasonably priced, experienced, and personable option out there. I opted for the month of package with the design board and budgeting assistance packages, which I highly recommend doing!

It was important to me to get help with design and having them help streamline my ideas, while making sure I was staying on trends. They are great at helping you brainstorm your vision and replicate anything you see on Pinterest, Instagram, Weddingwire, etc.

During the month of planning and the day of coordinating, Vanessa executed everything beautifully and even went above and beyond what was expected of her. During the wedding she helped with everything possible and took care of so many loose ends that I had not thought of. I was in such good hands.

The bottom line:
Your wedding is a HUGE production and Le Festine Events are the professionals you want to come in and do some serious coordinating during your big day. They have expert vendor, timeline, and crazy family/friends management skills. Not to mention, they do all of this with a polished, bright, and thoughtful attitude!

My husband and I used Korinna and her team for month-of-planning for my wedding in May. One of the main reasons we chose her was because it included design, which we most desperately needed help with (this was hard to find without just hiring a planner to do everything). She also quoted, "HIMYM" on her website, so I knew it was meant to be. I may have just had her for "month-of" but we had her guidance throughout the entire planning process. She was able to bring to life the most beautiful day of my life and knew how to incorporate special touches that made it obvious that it was a wedding for my husband and I. We loved working with Korinna and wouldn't have it any other way if we had to do it all over again.

Korinna was more than we expected!! She totally took our stress level to a very happy place. We were able to truly enjoy our daughters wedding, we worried for nothing. All our guest were also very impressed on how on nice and professional Korinna and her staff were. Our time line was followed to the minute, our vision for the day was carried out perfectly. We even left the venue 10 minutes before our deadline. We would recommend Le Festin Events for all your events.

Korinna with Le Festin Events made my entire wedding planning experience stress free and enjoyable! It is worth every single penny to have her and her team be there for you not only on the big day but all the months leading up to it! She responds quickly, is always supportive and has tons of experience in the wedding industry. I don't know how I could have planned and executed my wedding without Le Festin Events! My husband and I loved working with her throughout our engagement up until we hopped in our getaway car the night of the wedding. We highly recommend Korinna and her team for your wedding, you won't be disappointed! :)

She’s the best. Hands down. She has years of experience and a wealth of connections, a creative steel-trap of a mind, a “fixer” mentality, the skills and personality to make things happen and, if that’s not enough, class/style/awesome taste in shoes. She’s a drill sergeant or everyone’s best friend, depending on what’s necessary to get the job done. She’s uber-professional and, as was very obvious when mentioning her to other vendors, extremely well-respected. Plus, she’s super cool - if she wasn’t working that night, she would have been a guest at our wedding.

Because we were clueless, and because we live in Los Angeles and were getting married on the Central Coast, my husband and I decided (and needed) to hire a planner. We hired her for month-of help, plus an a la carte wedding design package, all of which was extremely reasonably priced (especially compared to most planners in Los Angeles, who I would bet aren’t even half as good as Korinna). It was without a doubt the best money we ever spent. We got so much more from Korinna than what we were expecting. She was extremely responsive - as in, responded to all of our questions/comments within 24 hours without fail - and was in contact with us at least every few days over the last few months before the wedding. She’s a creative genius - you can’t stump her with anything. She worked well with all of our vendors to make sure everyone was on the same page, where they needed to be at the appointed time and doing exactly what they were supposed to be doing. And she was able to keep us within our budget without sacrificing anything at all.

The day of the wedding was a breeze - as far as I knew, everything went off perfectly without a hitch and turned out phenomenally beautiful. All we did was show up and have an incredible party with our friends and family. Our guests even commented on how awesome she was. Two changes we would've made: hire her sooner and buy her all-inclusive package.

I had the privilege of taking the Le Festin Wedding Plan Intensive with Korinna. It was illuminating, fun, and inspiring. In two days I learned what takes some years to learn through trial and error. I strongly recommend this course to novice wedding planners and seasoned wedding planners alike - there's always something new to learn!
