Highly Recommend Candy Co Events

We enthusiastically recommend Candy Co Events (Candy Co) for their wedding planning services!

Candy Co went above and beyond in their wedding planning services for our wedding in 2023. The Candy Co team assisted us in the site selection and then the full planning services.

During the course of the planning process, Candy Co was a highly professional team that managed every detail of the wedding and interfaced with the vendors to streamline the decisions of the couple and prioritize achieving key milestones.

For the wedding day, Candy Co was onsite to deliver a seamless experience and showed great attention to detail. Candy Co connected well with the vendors and achieved all the desired outcomes.

In summary, Candy Co will help you achieve the wedding of your dreams across a variety of needs or client budgets with a friendly and professional staff.

Candy is a lifesaver!

As the Maid of Honor at my sisters wedding, there were about 5 million things to do before they said ‘I do’. Candy and her team were there every step of the way to make the day perfect and to deal with any bumps that popped up along the way. I cannot thank her enough for making my sisters wedding day perfect. She is a miracle worker! She dealt with everything from power outages to tornado warnings and never missed a beat. Thank you so much for a perfect day!

Candy is a lifesaver!

From our first conversation with Candy, she made us feel totally supported and comfortable. She went above and beyond answering questions and offering perspective throughout the earlier stages - and she made us feel heard and encouraged, especially as we felt overwhelmed at times with other life things happening during wedding planning. On the day of, Candy was always there with literally anything we needed - when the bridal party got last minute bug bites, when we were hoping to snag an extra plate of appetizers, everything. She kept us on time and feeling in control - and took care of everything so that we could focus on just having a good time. She was an absolute delight to work with and I can't recommend her highly enough.
