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!

I HIGHLY recommend Le Festin!! It was truly the very best investment I could have made. Working full time can make wedding planning stressful. I wanted to enjoy the wedding process but also not have to worry about a single thing on our actual wedding day. That is exactly what Korinna and her wonderful assistant Samantha provided. Korinna was so helpful from the very beginning. She is realistic and works to help create a perfect day without an astronomical budget. She customized a package that I could afford and that would meet my needs. She created a vendor list based on my budget, which saved SO much time!! She was my day of planner…but realistically she was involved about 3 weeks prior. A couple weeks before the wedding she just took over and left all the thinking to her. From start to finish the girls at Le Festin made me feel so important and most importantly they allowed me to truly kick back and enjoy my wedding! I never had to worry about anything other than showing up and having fun. I truly had the most perfect day ever and I am confident that anyone who works with Le Festin will feel the same.

Korinna is HANDS DOWN the best planner in the area. You will not find anyone that is more professional and on top on her job. She also genuinely cares about your special day. She even cried when I was walking down the aisle. I remember her saying “it gets me every time!” She’s planned one of the largest weddings in SLO (400+ people). Mine was also no small task. We had our 275 person wedding at a new venue called the Loma Grande Ranch on September 19th, 2015. Everything had to be brought in, including bathrooms, ovens, a dance floor, and all of the tables chairs and linens. My fiancé and I were living in Long Beach so we decided to go with her Month-Of Plan. I’m so happy we made that decision because we couldn’t just visit the venue whenever we felt like it. When it was time for Korinna to take over responsibility for everything, her system worked perfectly. Her online planning tools were more than helpful. It was nice to have someone in SLO with an LA mentality. She responded in a timely manner to everything and even met me in Orange County on her vacation so I could give her some linens before the wedding.

Le Festin was originally supposed to plan our wedding in September of 2014, but 3 months before the wedding, we had to push the date back a year because I had been diagnosed with breast cancer and had to undergo 9 months of treatment. Korinna was so understanding and accommodating. She never questioned my intentions and she was so supportive throughout the year. I truly felt like I had made a friend. I would 100% use Le Festin again. There is no doubt in my mind that Korinna will make your day more special than you could ever imagine.

Korinna was wonderful to work with for our wedding this past September at the Cayucos Creek Barn in Cayucos, CA. I really wanted for my mom and I to be able to enjoy the day of activities, without having to worry about the details and the coordination, and Korinna expertly handled everything. The wedding was wonderful and everything was super smooth and went off perfectly. Korinna was also great to work with leading up to the wedding, and provided lots of great tips (e.g., how much alcohol and ice to order!) and vendor recommendations. I would definitely recommend Korinna's wedding planning services to friends and family.

Korinna made my daughter's barn wedding perfect. As a planner, she has a nice touch for finishing things out but also for not contributing to any bride/Mother of Bride hysteria. Her placement of centerpieces and arrangement of cupcake table was superb. And she didn't balk at having herself and her assistant set up corn hole games that probably weighed as much as Korinna did.

My first contact with Le Festin was Korinna, the owner. SHE . IS . AWESOME!! She provided so much information for me, even before I signed her up. One of the main reasons I chose her company. The epitome of customer service. Once I got the ball rolling she was on it, set up phone calls and budget information immediately. She called when she said she would and sent information when she committed to and is very responsive to all email and phone calls. Somewhere down the line she asked me if I would be interested in using one of her staff, Vanessa, because she wanted to ensure that Vanessa was being utilized enough so as not to seek work elsewhere. Well, as an HR person, I truly believe in keeping good employees and was more than willing to work with Vanessa. As it turned out, Vanessa was definitely up to the standards set by Korinna. I can certainly see why Korinna wants to ensure Vanessa remains at Le Festin. The whole experience was awesome, I got to enjoy my wedding and not worry about the details. Worth every penny, for sure! I would suggest that anyone who is going to use Le Festin spend the extra to get the "Month Of" package rather than the "Day Of" package, so worth it! I would use them again in a heartbeat. Love, Love, Love Le Festin!

Korinna and her staff helped with my daughters wedding and they were the best. Never knew how complex wedding planning could be, just so glad to have Korinna on the team handling the arrangements. She went the extra mile made sure everything was just perfect down to the smallest detail. I would highly recommend Korrina for any event.

Korinna was the day of coordinator for my June wedding. She was fantastic! Everything was so organized and calm, and my family and bridal party were all very impressed with her professionalism and calm. I am very organized so I didn't need a ton of help with the actual planning, but wherever you fall on the event planning spectrum I would contact Korinna! She is so sweet and wonderful to work with and helps you to consider all of those tiny details you might otherwise overlook. Definitely some of the best money I spent in the planning process and it guaranteed the wedding day was calm and enjoyable.

We purchased the full Wedding Coordination Package and it was worth every penny!! LeFestin Events helped us plan my daughters out of town wedding in Paso Robles. Korinna was very responsive to all our needs and began working on the wedding the moment we signed our contract. Within a couple of weeks we had vendors to interview and within a month or two we had signed contracts with most of the vendors. Her wedding software kept us on track with budget and due dates for vendor payments. On the day of the wedding, I did not have to worry about a thing! I was able to enjoy the day as it unfolded. The wedding was a success!! Korinna and her staff are very professional and I would not hesitate to use their services again!

My husband and I used Le Festin Events for our day-of wedding coordinator in May, 2015. Vanessa was our coordinator and I can't say enough about her. She completely exceeded my expectations on my wedding day!! She was the first person there in the morning and the last to leave after the party and her and her assistant made it so that I didn't have a worry in the world! I'll admit that I wasn't the most organized bride and Vanessa helped me SO much with last minute rental items, decor and decisions. She did it all with a smile on her face and a laid-back but very professional attitude! Korinna and Vanessa also helped me tremendously with budgeting and picking out vendors that fit my needs throughout the whole planning process, even though I only hired them as day-of coordinators. They went above and beyond and I would highly recommend Le Festin Events to any future bride! :)

When my fiance and I started planning our wedding, I was on the fence about hiring a Wedding Coordinator. It was an extra expense and I wasn't sure if it was even necessary. But boy am i glad that we hired a coordinator, and even happier that it was Korinna. She is professional, extremely responsive, excellent at her trade, so kind and an all around rock star. She has this way of keeping your focused when you are going over vendor details on your pre-wedding conference calls...and at a time when your brain is all over the place, that is super important! She has wonderful recommendations for vendors, she is thorough and i thought for all that she did for us, she was an excellent value. She made sure our day went perfectly, i mean perfectly. I did not have to worry about a single thing. She set everything up so beautifully, she timed our vendors. I can honestly say we had the wedding of our dreams because of Korinna and her wonderful team. I really cant thank her enough. If you want a perfect and stress free day...hire Le Festin Events!

Where do I begin?! Korinna is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! If I could give her 10 stars, I definitely would. I can't begin to count the number of compliments we've received about how perfect our wedding was. Korinna made everything a breeze from the very beginning. She made sure that our day was a huge reflection of us as a couple/family, but offered her suggestions and advice as needed. She is extremely respected amongst all of the vendors we used and truly made it happen! If there was something that went wrong that day, I don't know about it which in my eyes speaks volumes.
On a personal level she is just as amazing! Fun, outgoing, creative, talented and gets it done!! I highly recommend LeFestin Events!!!

WOW! Korinna was an absolute life saver and a pleasure to work with. She was always very helpful with vendor recommendations, and each one we chose was exactly what we were looking for. When it came down to the month of she took care of contacting all of the vendors, finalizing everything, and had a very detailed schedule for us. The day of the wedding she and her assistant Carina were on top of everything. They decorated my venue exactly how I pictured it in my head. They took care of every little detail. We were able to enjoy our entire wedding because they were so on point. This was by far the best investment we made for our wedding. They made my life less stressful and I am so thankful. They really went above and beyond. You can tell they really love their job!

There is no such thing as "the perfect wedding." Oh wait- yes there is! And Korinna and her staff at Le Festin made it happen! Everything was beautiful, organized, and amazing. Jesse and I did not have a care in the world on our wedding day other than to have fun, drink great wine, get our grub on and dance our tails off! "Thank You" just doesn't feel like nearly enough to say to you but from the bottom of our hearts... THANK YOU! We enjoyed every second of this adventure and we will forever be grateful!
Much Love!

Korinna and Le Festin Events MADE my wedding the amazing, special and unique event and day that it was. I have known Korinna for years. We have worked together, and we are friends. When I got engaged, I had no idea what I wanted to do, but I did know that Korinna HAD to be involved.
She went far and beyond what I had originally envisioned. She helped me step back from the initial stress and overwhelming anxiety of it all and RELAX. She helped me break everything down into pieces I could handle and ALWAYS made me feel comfortable and prepared. When I couldn't decide on the type of dress I wanted, she dared me to be different and the result was more than I could have ever dreamed of.
During the months before the wedding, I spoke with, emailed, and met with Korinna and numerous occasions. She gave me ideas, advice, introduced me to vendors I would have never otherwise met, and she put me at ease!
The day before the wedding, she met us at the site for rental setup AND she ran our rehearsal. Not only did she stay all afternoon, but she showed up bright and early for the day of with a smile on her face and endless amounts of energy and good cheer. She did EVERYTHING from designing and setting up the centerpieces, tablescapes, place setting, chairs, flowers, decorations, dessert buffet, bar, guest book, directional signs....the list goes on and on! PLUS, ALL of my decorations came from her own personal inventory, and she had so much to choose from!!! She was the ONLY reason I was able to relax and enjoy my wedding day, because I knew I was in the best, most capable hands.
I had no idea when I got engaged just how stressful and difficult planning a wedding would be. I realize now that without Korinna and Le Festin Events, my wedding would have never been so beautiful, fun, creative, and such a perfect reflection of my style and spirit as it was. I would highly recommend her services to anyone; seriously, she is the best of the best.

Korinna planned our PERFECT wedding. My wife and I had been dating for 8 years and we thought about not getting married because of the cost and stress associated with planning a wedding. Boy are we glad we decided to get married! Our wedding was exactly how we wanted it and we had the TIME OF OUR LIVES! Our guests were constantly telling us that our wedding was the best they've ever attended and that our food was the best wedding food they've ever had. Korinna made it so easy. We drove up from Los Angeles and visited a few venues in SLO on one day and tasted food another day. Once we left SLO we were immediately excited about getting married. Everyone talks about how stressful it is to plan a wedding but Korinna made it so easy. We setup phone conversations so she could get a feel on what we liked. It was basically pick A, B or C. So easy! She set up the barn flawlessly. She really has an artistic flair and a designer's vision. Her spreadsheets and good communication were great because we always knew where we stood. She is really on top of things! We didn't know if she would be able to keep us within our budget but she did. This wedding would have never happened and it would have never been so PERFECT if it wasn't for Korninna. I give her my highest possible recommendation.

Korinna of Le Festin Events did an absolutely fabulous job on our wedding from the start of our planning to the end when the party over and the decor needed to broken down. We opted for the Full Plan package and my husband and I agree, it was definitely the best purchase of the wedding.

She was/is the consummate professional; she handled everything and made sure we were right on point with her. With so many options available to you, the process can just spin out of control at any moment. But, not with Korinna. It was incredible to have someone as supportive she was when you're going back & forth between minutia (aka understanding that you wanted bright yellow but not orangey-yellow =P).

She made planning a wedding as easy as attending it as a guest, because she handled and prepared us for everything. On rehearsal day we did a walkthrough of the site. The vendors had copies of our custom wedding booklet and timeline, so that we were fully prepared for them and everyone was queued ready to go for us. There were a few hiccups, we girls were late getting ready, the sash on my bow wouldn't hold, but Korinna handled it like the consummate professional that she is. She tackled the problems and was calm and cool the entire time.

We honestly did feel like guests, having plenty of time to take photos, eat, greet everyone, and dance. It was amazing, and we couldn't have done it without Korinna at Le Festin Events.

Thank you Korinna! Jason and I couldn't have done it without you.

I own a wedding planning business in the Pacific Northwest and when the time came to plan my own wedding I knew without a doubt that I would hire a day-of coordinator to run my wedding day. My husband and I decided to have a destination wedding in Paso Robles and once we picked a date and location the hunt was on to find someone I felt I could entrust all of my planning and details to. I spoke with a few other coordinators before I talked with Korinna and once we started our conversation I knew she was the one for me. Her calm and welcoming personality put me at ease immediately and I felt like as we were talking she got my vision and understood what I was looking for. It’s stressful enough, as a coordinator, to make sure every bride is happy and taken care of but the added pressure of having another planner as the bride was not easy. Korinna and her team took it in stride and followed all of my directions to a T. They set up every detail just as I would myself and went above and beyond to make everything look perfect. They took care of my entire wedding party and made sure everything was going the way it should. I made the best decision hiring Le Festin Events and I hope you do too!

Even though we only had a small wedding, Korinna at Le Festin Events made it feel grand and elegant. She worked within our budget and was very flexible and resourceful in finding affordable materials and products without sacrificing style. My now husband was impressed with her professionalism and attention to detail. I would highly consider working with Korinna again in the future.

If you are on the fence about hiring a wedding planner, let me shove you to the other side where a stress-free wedding exists and awaits!

One of the best decisions we made during the wedding planning process was hiring Le Festin Events. Korinna Peterson is phenomenal in every way – she is professional, knowledgeable, experienced, organized and reliable. Korinna loves what she does and it really comes through in every detail – this woman means business! She has great connections in the industry and all her recommendations for vendors were spot on. She’s flexible, easy going and calm… and she has this amazing natural ability to keep you calm through any hiccup that might arise. Sounds too good to be true, but it’s the honest truth. Above all, she listens to what YOU want and delivers.

Some details about our experience: New Yorkers, barn wedding in San Luis Obispo (neither of us had ever been to San Luis Obispo so it was destination by all means), really tight and modest budget, lots of DIY projects, no contacts and no tools except google. Then enters Le Festin Events & the lovely Korinna to save the day! She was thoughtful of our budget and worked within it! She took all our ideas and brought them to life, making them bigger and better than what we could have imagined. Every single detail was perfection, everything ran smoothly and we were able to enjoy the day, our family, our friends and most of all, each other. We don’t know too many couples who can say this but Korinna was able to coordinate the day to where there was enough time for everything – we even had enough time to eat dinner (and have seconds)! Le Festin was invaluable and Korinna is the loveliest.

Korinna from Le Festin Events was amazing from beginning to end. She understood our vision for our wedding and executed it better than we imagined. Korinna gave us options to some amazing vendors, who were within budget and did a beautiful job. She facilitated all communications with our vendors, which made a stressful wedding planning experience a lot less stressful. Korinna is easy to work with and was the best decision we made.

Korrina and her team were well above what I ever expected! I hired her for the day of package and she went above and beyond to assist my fiancé, ahem, husband and I to prepare for the big day! I pulled a Uhaul trailer from San Diego full of couches, coffee tables, rugs, plates, napkins, etc etc to SLO. I met with Korrina the night before the wedding with everything and she never once said, "are you out of your mind?!" (I'm sure she was thinking it!) I gave her very vague decoration ideas and The next day I walked into the most beautiful uniquely decorated wedding I'd ever been to! Yes, I'm partial!
Korrina is the best thing that ever happened to my organized chaos and truly believe that if you choose Le Festin Events for your wedding you will be very happy!! Now this sounds like I'm marketing them for some sort of campaign and no, they didn't pay me for this. (;

My husband and I hired Korinna/Le Festin Events as our day of coordinator for our wedding last weekend. It was the best money that we spent. From our first phone call with Korinna, I could tell that she was easy to work with, extremely knowledgeable, willing to help however she could, and very professional. Her work the day of our wedding was incredible. At our “walk through” a few days before our event she mentioned that her goal was for Dustin (the groom) and me to feel as if we were guests attending the party. And, we did. She and her assistants were SO on it.

The week before the event, she was in touch with every one of our vendors, had everything way more organized than I ever could, and made the whole things seem easy. Feedback from almost every vendor was that our coordinator was “the best.” Seriously, every vendor mentioned how good she was.

The day of the wedding, she had every detail lined up, and even texted me a photo of chilled champagne waiting in the bridal suite (Heck yes) as I was getting ready at the hotel. Bar none, the best money we spent on our wedding was on Korinna and her team. If you are planning a wedding in the central coast, book Le Festin Events! You will be so glad that you did. Thank you, thank you, thank you Korinna. We cannot say enough good things!

Korinna and Le Festin Events were wonderful to work with. We hired her for Day of Coordination, but from the second we signed a contract I felt like we had her at our disposal. She not only helped put out fires with other vendors before the event, she smoothed out all the issues on our day. When we showed up to our venue it looked so beautiful, it blew away our own expectations. She took all our hard work and vision and executed it wonderfully. Not to mention she has a great sense of humor and style. I would recommend Le Festin Events to anyone, she is a true professional who also loves a good time and will make your day so much more relaxing.

Korinna was the perfect match for us and our event coordination! She is hard-working, organized, responsive, creative, and fun! She is super speedy responding to emails at all times of the day! Korinna and her helpers did an amazing job setting everything up and orchestrating things the day of the wedding. Outstanding event coordinator!

We could not have been any happier with the services Korinna and April from Le Festin Events provided on our wedding day. Everything went perfectly and smoothly and we have them to thank for that. They are professional, punctual, trust-worthy, and completely on their game. I admit I was a little bit of a control freak leading up to the wedding, but I completely trusted Le Festin Events and they allowed me to calm down and enjoy the day. We had a very specific set up and Korinna and April captured our ideas and visions perfectly. I highly recommend them if you want a flawless, stress-free wedding!

We hired Korinna as our day-of coordinator. She went above and beyond my expectations. Not only did she do a fabulous job making sure the wedding went smoothly, she also helped us with planning questions ahead of time as well as set up and break down for the wedding. We had 2 assistants who insured that we were never needing anything on the day. It was a fabulous day and I didn't have to worry about a thing on the day thanks to Korinna. Overall great job!

Five stars are just not enough for Le Festin Events. We were on an extremely tight budget, lived away from our venue and completely procrastinated almost an entire year until we were finally staring at the calendar three months out from our wedding date in total despair when we found Korinna. She was amazingly organized, prioritized what we needed to do, worked with us on establishing our budget, pointed us to reliable, professional vendors who fit our needs, and most importantly provided us with a vision for our wedding day. And speaking of the day, there wasn't a single thing we had to worry about - Korinna had it down. What was even more special was all the extra attention to details that really set the tone. Walking into our venue as husband and wife, and seeing it all set up and put together really was beyond what we could have ever imagined. If you are looking for a true professional who is resourceful, creative, can work with couples on a budget and be all around super fabulous to work with, then Korinna and Le Festin Events is just who you're looking for! She will help guide you through the process, steer you in the right direction and be your #1 cheer leader. We promise.

My husband and I were hesitant about paying the money for a day of coordinator. We were on a tight budget and didn’t know if we needed one. After thinking long and hard about it, we decided to hire Le Festin Events, which turned out to be the best wedding decision that we made. Korinna is AMAZING!!! We were so impressed with the professionalism, creativity and organization that she displayed. Most of our wedding was DIY, so that meant there was a lot that needed to be setup and completed the day of the wedding. Korinna executed every single detail to perfection! The best part is that my husband and I were able to relax and enjoy the day. We weren’t worrying about setting up tables, lighting candles, organizing the dessert bar, hanging lanterns, talking to vendors, putting out signs, menus, escort cards or any other detail that we planned. Korinna’s service is invaluable!

While we think hiring a day of coordinator is a great idea, in general. It is 100% dependent on the quality of the person you hire. Korinna exceeded all of our expectations. She was one of the main reasons that our special day was so terrific! I would recommend her to everyone!!!

I cannot say enough good things about Korinna.
As a person and a wedding planner she is sensational.
She is, by far, the most important vendor we hired for our wedding.
She works so hard, but makes it look so easy. She is always calm, professional and on top of things. She is absolutely incredible.
From the moment I met Korinna I completely trusted her. Just being around Korinna lowers your stress level.

My husband and I worked so hard planning our wedding and the only reason we got to enjoy all of our hard work was because Korinna was there to flawlessly execute and manage everything.
On the day of our wedding we didn't have to stress or worry about anything. We were able to relax and enjoy the fruits of our labor.

We are so grateful to have had Korinna there on our special day.
She gave us the perfect wedding, and I could never thank her enough for everything she has done for us.

Korinna with Le Festin Events was an absolute dream. We hired her as our overall event planner for the months before the wedding, and my husband and I both feel it was the single best decision that we made.

Korinna did everything, did it perfectly, did it on time, and did it with style. She immediately understood the overall feeling we wanted for the wedding, and she communicated it extremely well to all our vendors. She was always responsive and flexible, answering emails often within minutes and staying on top of things even when we were changing our minds about what we wanted. Meetings with her were fun (she's got a great sense of humor) but also always focused and productive. Any time I emailed her panicked because I thought we had forgotten something, she would already have taken care of it. All of her suggestions were fantastic, elegant, and stylish. She possesses a rare combination of creative talent and organizational ability -- pretty much exactly what you want in an event planner. She kept us within budget, and her own prices were a total bargain given how much work she did and how much work she saved us.

She told us that her goal was to make my fiance and me feel like guests at our wedding, and she very much accomplished that. Even in the weeks leading up to the event, friends and acquaintances would give me weird looks and tell me I looked entirely too calm to be getting married in a few weeks. I'm usually an anxious control freak about important things, but Korinna proved so trustworthy that I was confident just letting her handle everything, which meant that I could relax and enjoy the lead up to the wedding. And the wedding itself was absolutely perfect, just everything we envisioned.

If I could afford to hire Korinna just to follow me around every day to keep me on track and feeling fabulous, I totally would. I would absolutely recommend Korinna and Le Festin Events.

Thank you so much Korinna for making my wedding run so smoothly. I don't know what we would have done without you. You made our wedding feel like it's one of a kind. You are so creative and made this process actually less stressful and more fun. I still can't believe that you were able to jump right back to work even after being away on your vacation, actually I can't believe you were answering my emails while you were on vacation. Sheesh, you're like Super Woman!

Korinna Peterson gave me the wedding I always wanted. I couldn't have done it without her unwavering and steadfast resolve. Her attention to detail and comforting demeanor always made me feel at ease. I never had to worry about loose ends or dropped balls.

She was reliable, practical and never let me spin out-of-control (which I seemed to frequently be on the verge of doing.) And best of all, she kept me laughing and made what I thought would be a really difficult undertaking an enjoyable experience.

Without hesitation, I highly recommend Le Festin Events for all of your events, big or small!

Korinna was ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL! We went with Korinna as our day-of wedding planner and we could not have been happier!! Korinna is extremely organized, responsible, patient, and detail oriented. She went above and beyond her standard package. When we met with Korinna, we instantly clicked. My husband and I felt extremely comfortable with her capability to ensure our wedding came off perfectly. And it did! We met with Korinna twice before the wedding, and exchanged tons of emails. She took care of all our vendors, both before the event to make sure everything was squared away, during the event, and even after the event. We did most of our wedding DIY, and it's amazing how much stuff Korinna took charge of that we hadn't thought of or hadn’t realized needed attention. She handled our table linens, set up the tables, set up the vendors, picked up the donuts for dessert, and even stayed after to clean up a bit. We had some mini-dramas with the silverware and flower mason jars, but Korinna handled everything!! SO WONDERFUL! You can really tell that Korinna loves what she does, and she will do whatever it takes to make your day just right. Korinna made our wedding day super fun and carefree -- totally priceless! 100% recommend! Thanks, Korinna!!!!

They created a beautiful brunch for me this past weekend and I am so thankful that they were able to conceptualize and follow through without a hitch. The details were stunning and my guests kept commenting to me about how it was the most elegant brunch they had ever been in. I am so happy and will hire again. They were able to save me so much time and money. I agree from others, I love them too!

I love them!!! They're so much fun and you can really tell that they enjoy what they do. I got married and had a Day of the Dead theme, it was pulled off so beautifully. I was really stuck as to what to do, but Korinna and Nicole really came in and made it whimsy, but sophisticated at the same time.

Their designs from the cactus inspired table arrangements to the margarita bar were hits. It was such a beautiful day and I am sure that it wouldn't have moved so flawlessly had we done it alone (200 guests).

They really made me and my husband relaxed every step of the way. We recommend them 100% and will definitely work with them again for other events in a heartbeat!

Korinna and company are amazing! During our year of wedding planning I was finishing school and was not living in the area for the better part of the year. On top of that, I didn't really have any friends who had gotten married in the area so I was in dire need of some good vendor recommendations as well as some organizational help leading up to the wedding. Even from our first meeting, I knew Korinna and I were going to get along very well. She was able to work with me and my limited knowledge of what goes into a wedding. She is really on top of her game and has a thorough knowledge of local vendors for all budgets. We went with a "Month-of" package because we still wanted to be hands-on in planning the wedding and imparting a bit of ourselves in every detail, but we also wanted to enjoy the day and not worry about the nitty-gritty details. To start, we gave Korinna a budget and she gave us a breakdown of each service/cost and two or three vendors that would fit within that category. Though we did go a bit over our anticipated budget, all of our vendors were from this recommended list and each and every one far exceeded our expectations. Furthermore, she gave us a booklet that outlined important points to address when talking to vendors to make sure we got what we wanted and left few unanswered questions for later. When she took over as the point-of-contact a month before our wedding, I felt like I could finally relax a little bit. She saved me some big embarrassment after reviewing my orders and realizing I didn't exactly order plates for the cake or champagne flutes...and if anything came up during the wedding day I still haven't heard about it! Overall, Korinna and all of the staff at Le Festin Events are helpful, friendly, professional, and really fun to be around. The service is well worth the investment, in my opinion. I had a fantastic wedding day and I would highly recommend Le Festin Events to anyone planning a wedding.
