The best of the best!

I highly recommend Corey for any of your event planning needs. I am the type of person who crumbles when it comes to coordinating large events. Corey was able to come to our venue (at the drop of a dime nonetheless) and make all my visions turn into reality within minutes. She has an impeccable attention to detail, and can truly transform a space within such a short amount of time. Corey is such a natural when it comes to organization and her creativity is top notch. I would recommend Corey again and again for my wedding day! I promise you will not be disappointed!

Went above and beyond!

Corey and her assistant Shalin went above and beyond on my wedding day! Setting up, cleaning up, organizing, planning, and more. They were both flexible and able to tackle any problems or challenges that arrived the day of.

During the planning process Corey went above and beyond not only with helping plan, schedule, create a timeline, and make sure I had everything organized and checked off, but also making sure I was ok and stress free in the process. Checking in and helping communicate with vendors, as well as researching a few things I didn’t have time for. Worth every penny and more highly recommend!

Worth every penny! 👏🏼

I truly can’t say enough wonderful things about Corey as a wedding planner — and as a person. From the very beginning, she brought such a calming presence to the planning process. Her kindness, patience, and steady support made everything feel manageable, even in the most stressful moments.

She has a rare gift: she listens deeply, understands your vision (sometimes better than you do!), and gently guides everything into place with grace and ease. It never felt like just planning an event — it felt like being fully supported by someone who genuinely cared.

If you're looking for someone who is organized, thoughtful, and brings both heart and professionalism to everything she does, Corey is it. I feel lucky not just to have worked with her, but to call her a friend.

CJ Lee is the BEST

I highly recommend Corey for your upcoming wedding or event! Corey has an eye for creativity and portrays a great attention to detail. I have seen her plan, organize, and lead many events in both professional and personal settings and all go off without a hitch.

One of Corey's greatest strengths is her personality. Her presence is refreshing and she has the unique ability to stay calm even when facing stressful circumstances. On my wedding day, Corey led me through deep breathing exercises before I walked down the aisle to calm me down and made sure I had everything I needed. She is very trustworthy and reliable and great at what she does!
