Partial planning

Cortney put her heart thoroughly into our wedding planning and it turned out to be perfect. Both my bride and I were stressed out beforehand but Cortney figured out really well for us. Very professional and passionate. Thank you Cortney!

I hired Cortney and her staff to handle my “day of” activities but really she did so much more. I had the stomach flu the week before my wedding and even though I had taken the week off from work to get stuff done, I was too sick to do anything. My sister was not flying in from Chicago until the day before and could not change her flight. Even though I’m sure she had a million other things to do, Cortney stepped up and did everything for me without batting an eye. She even brought me soup. How sweet is that!

Look no further, you found your wedding coordinator!

Cortney was the best wedding coordinator on the planet! If you are looking for the best of the best, she is IT! She was always available and so eager to make our day as perfect as possible. She thought of the smallest details that would have never crossed my mind that made our wedding day seamless. She is also extremely kind and genuinely a nice person who cared for our wedding so well. 10000/10 recommend!
