Courtney Armen was an absolute joy to work with. She is incredibly well-connected with local vendors, impeccably organized, proactive, and always brimming with thoughtful ideas and creative suggestions. About three months before the wedding, I realized I wasn’t connecting with the original design direction—and Courtney was my biggest advocate in making a change. She encouraged me to focus on what I genuinely loved, and we ended up completely reimagining the aesthetic. She presented a stunning new concept and executed every single detail with grace and precision.

Courtney also managed to navigate working with my family—who can be very difficult at times—with endless patience, tact, and professionalism. Even when our calls went off-topic (which happened more than once!), she kept us focused and moving forward with calm and confidence.

As amazing as she was in the lead-up, it was her day-before and day-of coordination that truly blew me away. My wedding was flawlessly executed, I can truly say it was the best day of my life. However, that’s not to say there weren’t disasters, which there were! Including a makeup disaster and timeline shift, and the cake being delivered in the wrong color (pink!), which she had sent back and somehow arranged to be corrected and redelivered just in time for dinner. The morning of the wedding, my mom requested a complete cocktail hour location change, and Courtney made it happen—beautifully and without hesitation. She spent the day calmly working with the venue staff and wrangling my (wonderfully chaotic) family to make sure every moment—from the ceremony to the reception to the post-party—flowed perfectly.

Courtney goes far beyond what you’d expect from a wedding planner. She’s not only fantastic at her job—she’s also kind, grounded, and an incredible person to have by your side during such an emotional and important time. I truly can’t imagine my wedding without her.

I knew from our first phone call that Courtney was the planner for me. I booked Courtney a solid two years before my wedding date, so we got to know each other well during out monthly calls! She is so organized, so sweet and an absolutely genius designer.

Every other vendor I hired gave an audible sigh of relief when they found out I had booked Courtney as my planner as they knew that the day would go smoothly and the timeline would be perfect!

Our original venue was destroyed in hurricane Ian. Courntey continued to support me and help me pivot to a new venues despite being without power or running water herself for weeks! She is so dedicated and so kind during the entire process.

Everyone told me I was such a chill bride during the planning process and actual wedding weekend. I can only attribute that to having Courtney in my corner! I trusted her to take care of everything and she definitely did.

As for as her design skills, I will let the photos speak for themselves. I was blown away! My design was better than I could have ever dreamed. All of my guests told me it was the prettiest wedding they have ever been to.

Courtney is an exceptional wedding planner. We planned a wedding for 150 people at South Seas Island Resort in Captiva Island, Florida for Dec. 10, 2022 and we interviewed 10 wedding planners. We chose Courtney because she 1) was the most responsive, 2) was so genuine and kind, 3) had a sense of humor, 4) had planned many weddings at our venue, 5) has a separate event company w her husband that rents lighting, bars, and other event things, and 6) we just clicked with her right off the bat. Courtney was a good listener -- she asked us a lot about our vision for the wedding, including really helpful questions that showed she knew what she was talking about, and she really listened and digested everything that we said.

We hired Courtney for design and day of planning for our welcome party and wedding day-- but she treated us like a full service wedding planner for the entire year leading up to our wedding. She was happy to text, call, or Zoom whenever we wanted to. She was incredibly proactive in giving us to-do lists with ample time for us to work through them. She brings a calming and positive energy that was really necessary during our sometimes stressful conversations. Courtney also respected our budget and was not even a little bit pushy in trying to convince us to spend beyond it, even though it would have obviously benefited her for us to spend more money.

After we had a design meeting and sent Courtney our inspo photos, she got to work and her design proposal exceeded our expectations and showed that she really listened to every single detail we'd mentioned. I am super picky and particular and loved everything. We'd finalized our design plans for the welcome party and wedding in June, 6 months before the wedding!

In July, we heard unfortunate news about a major construction project that was happening at our venue and would impact the locations of our welcome party and ceremony. Courtney sprung into action, drove to meet us at the resort a few days later, and was an advocate for us to the venue staff in making sure that the venue did everything in their power to make it right for us. This was NOT an easy process as the venue was difficult, but we ultimately came to a resolution that we were all happy about and Courtney went above and beyond to make it happen and to make us comfortable with the changes.

Then, Hurricane Ian hit two months before our wedding and destroyed our venue and also hit Courtney's home - she was without power and water for a long time. Even so, Courtney called me 2 days post-Hurricane to present us with venue options for Plan B and did everything she could to put us at ease and let us know she'd do everything in her power to make the wedding happen on December 10 and have it go wonderfully. 1.5 weeks later, she drove several hours to meet us in Palm Beach despite what she had going on at home to tour venues until we found the one.

Long story short, despite never having been to our Plan B venue before, and having only 2 months to reconfigure everything, Courtney DELIVERED and threw us the wedding of our DREAMS. I seriously cannot express how incredible every single thing was - I was BLOWN AWAY by the design and by Courtney's exceptional service all weekend. She was so attentive, anticipated our needs, and prioritized US having the best weekend of our lives. I am an EXTREME micromanager and no detail was missed. Our wedding was not an easy one to plan for several reasons, but Courtney made it happen. We love her and are leaving this process as friends.

Courtney Armen was the best wedding planner EVER!!! Words cannot describe how much she did for me leading up to the wedding and on the wedding day. Courtney is knowledgeable, professional, smart, funny, helpful, caring, responsive, reliable, patient and great to be around.

What I really like about Courtney is that she does monthly check-ins with you leading up to the event. Each month she gives you goals and fun homework to complete so the wedding day goes smoother. She is also available 24/7 to help with questions and ideas - an incredible feature!! I would talk her ear off and drill her with questions the weeks leading up to the event, and she didnt mind at all. In fact...she was always excited to hear from me. That's what I was looking for in a wedding planner.

Courney is creative when it comes to ideas. Planning with her is so fun because she has suggestions that one would never have thought of. I loveee that!!

Courtney stands out from other planners because she can think on her feet and is helpful with making people feel comfortable. I will really miss spending time with Courtney and will always remember her.

Thank you for everything,
Caitlin Vitale

I cannot sing Courtney's praises enough!! I knew from the get-go that I wanted to hire a day-of coordinator.....but my mom was less agreeable. With a large Cuban family and 200+ guestlist, I needed all the help I could get corralling everyone where they needed to be. Plus Courtney would save my own sanity by helping me stay on track with monthly check-ins and the annoying little details I would have forgotten as we got closer to the wedding date. Needless to say, I convinced my mom the month before the wedding when I had officially passed the baton to Courtney. Not only did we have the holidays to get through and I was coordinating a cross-country move at the same time, but we also had other hiccups that occurred in that last month. We had a sudden death in the family, a bridesmaid fractured her ankle and needed emergency surgery the week of the wedding, our DJ got switched last minute, she realized we were missing lighting, and she found a replacement hair artist for my mom and bridesmaids...... By the end of it all, I ended up with the most perfect wedding any girl could ask for and I am so incredibly thankful for all her hard work. I would 1000% recommend her to any future bride!!

I can't thank Courtney and her staff enough for such a beautifully orchestrated wedding day.
We seamlessly coordinated so many details which was a pleasant surprise doing her day of coordinating.
From the moment we spoke on the phone to see if we were a good match for both parties I knew I wanted her services. She was diplomatic and assertive as needed and also made us feel every decision we made was what we wanted and not what is expected or a norm.
Even at the rehearsal when we made last minute small detail changes she encouraged us, on whatever it was we wanted.
I felt so carefree the day of knowing that she was managing it all and the day was so perfect I would repeat it 10000x again without a change.
I wish I could give her 10 stars. Worth every penny of investment.

We brought Courtney on pretty late in the game and wish we had found her earlier! She definitely has a way of making you feel like you are being taken care of…which doesn’t seem to be the norm in the wedding industry. Courtney was a much needed addition to our wedding weekend because of the amount of details, moving pieces, and odds and ends it had become. She really helped to instill confidence in us that our wedding and wedding related events would go off without a hitch! She is definitely a go-getter. If something needed to be done or changed or arranged, it was wonderful to have the confidence in her that she would execute well. If you spend money on anything at your wedding, it should be on a person that makes it a better overall planning and executing experience for you! Lesson learned late in the game, but right in time to make it happen successfully :)

Courtney and team are well worth it!

By the time I found Courtney, I was halfway through the planning process. I had chosen my venue and most of my vendors and was starting to feel nervous about bringing it all together the day of. After having an initial meeting with Courtney, I knew I was going to hire her for her day-of services. After our first consultation, my husband and I decided really needed her help and added in the design element as well.

Courtney did exactly what I needed. She allowed me to be involved and still feel like I was planning my wedding, but did all of the heavy lifting, communications, and so many of the "little" things that are really big things. She was super professional, organized, and always honest with me! I felt at ease knowing Courtney would not let me forget anything and covered all of the details. She is truly an expert in the industry and the best decision I made along the way :)

My wedding day could not have been more perfect, and I truly owe it to Courtney. From organization, to decor, coordination, time-tracking, and even some wrinkled groomsmen shirts, Courtney did it all. She had everything under control and put my mind at ease. I knew that I could truly enjoy myself and not worry!

Thank you Courtney! You are amazing at what you do!

Coming highly recommended, Courtney was EVERYTHING and more. She is the sweetest, most organized person I have ever met. She has a way of being super patient and understanding, and most importantly, knows how to calm you down when you feel like time is flying by way too fast. From day one, she was on top of everything and ensured we had everything to make the day absolutely perfect. She is not afraid to tell you what can and will not work, and we trusted her with every little detail. Whenever I hear someone is or will be soon engaged, I cannot stop going on and on about Courtney. She made me feel so calm and collected during the entire day and made sure everything ran perfectly smooth. I could go on and on, and will most certainly use her for future celebrations!!

I got married in Fort Myers in February 2019, but my husband and I live out of state. Hiring CocoLuna Events for day of design was by far the best decision we made during the whole planning process. I have never really "dreamed" of my wedding day, but that didn't stop Courtney at CocoLuna Events from planning the wedding of my dreams, which takes some serious skill and talent.

Working with Courtney is a wonderful experience. She's upbeat and personable, but she's also very good at coming up with design ideas based on the couple's personalities and budgets. She recommended top notch vendors to us based on our general style and taste, and every single one of them knocked it out of the park. She's also super organized and detail oriented, thinking of things that I'd have missed entirely. As far as I know, the day went off without a hitch. I'm sure there were some snafus but my husband and I never heard about them. Our wedding was way beyond our expectations. She's just phenomenal. I can't recommend her enough.
