    Best Planning Team EVER!

    Jodi and her team took all the stress of wedding planning away. There wasn’t a moment on my wedding day that I had to worry about—they had it covered. So much of the fun of wedding planning gets overshadowed by the stress and pressure. Having CES allowed me to stay in the “fun” place because I knew everything would be perfect. Jodi made it happen!! Not only that—Jodi and her team are kind, fun, and a joy to be around. My dream wedding day with my dream team. I cannot recommend them enough—worth every penny and more.

    Jodi is one of not only nicest people you will meet but she made me feel comfortable and less stressed from beginning!! She definitely knew all right questions to ask! If she could marry us every month I’d do it! She’s the best!!

    Spectacular service

    Jodi and her team made our wedding day so so so easy - we could just sit back and enjoy it all. My husband and I had a fantastic time every step of the way, thanks to productive monthly video calls with Jodi, a great network of vendors that Jodi recommended, and very responsive email presence from the team. Thanks to CES for all their hard work making our ultra-colorful dream wedding come true!

    Amazing to work with!

    Jodi and her team were an incredible asset to work with in planning our September 2023 wedding! In the middle of planning, I found out I was pregnant and ended up postponed our wedding for a year. Jodi and her team stuck with us the entire way and helped make our wedding day truly unforgettable. I would recommend them to everyone!

    CES Weddings and Events

    This was our daughter’s wedding in Chico, Ca. In summary, it was everything we imagined. The entire event was flawless, professional, and superbly organized. Several guests shared a common review, which was “Seamless”! Our daughter, the bride, said afterward that she could not think of one thing she would have changed.
    The Venue was perfect, and the “game plan” from CES, made the event supremely memorable. Many thanks to Jodi and her team!! We could not have done it without them!

    10/10 Experience!!!!

    If you want the perfect wedding day that is stress free, I highly recommend CES Weddings! Not to mention it makes your wedding planning process a dream, especially if you’re someone like me who is horrible at planning. They had all the answers to our questions and were super helpful throughout the whole experience.

    Wonderful dream wedding planning

    Jodi and Mea did amazing in putting together and coordinating all the details for the wedding of our dreams! They made the entire process, from finding vendors for all pieces of our wedding to ensuring our special day went perfectly, and more, as smooth as could be. We will be recommending them to our loved ones in the area for making their wedding dreams come true, and we enthusiastically recommend them to you all!

    CES will help make your wedding day perfect!

    We highly recommend Jodi and the entire CES team! We hired CES to help us plan our wedding and rehearsal dinner and we are so happy we did. Jodi and Mea were amazing to work with. They helped us stay organized and enjoy the planning process. We had a lot of our vendors for the wedding before we hired CES, but did not have anything done for our rehearsal dinner which had over 50 guests. Jodi and her team helped us find a perfect venue for our rehearsal dinner and Jodi traveled to Tahoe to visit the venue with us. It was extremely helpful to have Jodi with us for site visits and menu/cake tastings. She gave us great advice regarding our menu selection and other details for our wedding and rehearsal dinner. Jodi and her team made our wedding day go incredibly smoothly. Both my husband and I had someone with the CES team with us to make sure we got to our first look location and the ceremony on time and with everything we needed. They took care of every detail for us on our wedding day including assembling our welcome bags, setting everything up and delivering our gifts and belongings to us after the wedding. They aslo made sure our bridal party and families went to them with any questions or if they needed anything. We are so incredibly thankful we hired CES to coordinate our wedding and rehearsal dinner. If you're looking for an exceptional wedding planner that will go above and beyond for you on your wedding day, look no further and hire Jodi and her team!

    Absolutely flawless

    Jodi and her team are nothing short of amazing! The amount of stress she took from me and the peace of mind she provided really was priceless. Our wedding day went perfectly, there were no hiccups and if there were I did not hear about it. Besides being an absolute boss when it comes to wedding planning Jodi is an amazing person! She is kind, caring, hilarious and all around one of the best people.

    I hired Jodi having an idea of what our wedding would look like and Jodi really went above and beyond and created a fairytale for us. I know I’m ranting and raving about her and her team but they really deserve it! I would hire her over and over again for all events.

    I have also been to 4 weddings that Jodi has done and each wedding went spectacularly! Each bride had the same feeling towards Jodi as I do, She’s just amazing.

    A year prior to my wedding my best friend was getting married and on her wedding day her makeup artist canceled at 530am. Jodi was not her wedding planner/coordinator but I reached out to her to see if she had any recommendations. Jodi immediately messaged me back and she was able
    To get a makeup artist to us in 2 hours and she was able to do makeup on 7 people.

    You don’t need to look any further for your planner/ coordinator just hire Jodi!

    Our experience with Jodi couldn’t have been better! She was SO HELPFUL!

    Jodi was AMAZING and made our wedding day go so smoothly! She took the worry and stress away from me throughout the whole process and I’m so thankful to have had her. She’s so good at what she does and is so knowledgeable! Highly recommend!

    Highly Recommend!

    Couldn't have been happier with Jodi & team! It's hard to find the words to describe how much of a special impact they made on my wedding day. They executed flawlessly day-of, kept all vendors on track and gave great advice and direction whenever we needed it! They made my life/wedding planning so easy!!! We truly could not have done it without them. We are so thankful!

    Not only is Jodi a pro at event planning & execution, but most importantly, I can honestly say she is now lifelong friend.

    We love you Jodi!!

    A STELLAR team for wedding planning!

    From the beginning we knew we hired the right team working with Jodi and her associates! Jodi went truly above and beyond our expectations to advocate for the exact details we wanted. She was responsive always (especially at 10PM at night when we received word that our venue cancelled our contract) and understood our vision, decor, and budget! Our plans were derailed a number of times due to the COVID-19 pandemic but Jodi and team did not miss a beat in shifting the focus to new plans and executing every detail perfectly. We felt the full extent of their value on our actual wedding day when we didn't have to lift a finger or worry about a thing because they ran the show seamlessly. The point of hiring a wedding planning team is to take the stress of the details away from the bride and groom. With Jodi and team you'll have the best day to remember and feel like you made a lifelong friend in the process!

    Personal & Professional

    Jodi and her team made our day unforgettable. From the very beginning of planning until our wedding day, she made sure we were taken care of. She made sure all of our wishes were met while going above and beyond to ensure our day was about us. She did not want us to lift and finger!
    Though she was there every step of the way, her team was discreet and professional. The day went smooth without missing a beat thanks to her. Our wedding day was truly about us!
    I cannot say enough great things about Jodi! I would highly recommend her for planning your day. You won’t regret it!!!

    Makes me emotional thinking about how perfect our day was because of Jodi

    Jodi is something special. Not just as a wedding planner but even more importantly as a person. We hired her for a full service package and my husband and I both agree it was the best money we spent on our entire wedding experience. Our wedding was in a location where we did not love and did not what was available to us. Jodi found vendors, organized site meetings, handled all of the deliveries, the list goes on and on. And honestly I probably don’t even know about half of the things she did to make the day so perfect. I believe that is the goal when hiring a planner, she is an expert in what she does and she ensured that everything went better than we could have dreamed of. And no detail big or small was missed. The vendors we had all loved working with Jodi and told me over and over how organized and smoothly everything went, because of her. Jodi is someone you want to be around. She is an advocate for what you want when planning your day, she is the voice of reason to keep you on track, she is HILARIOUS. My husband and I consider Jodi family. The greatest gift Jodi gave to us was the time my groom and I were able to spend with each other on our wedding. We didn’t have to worry about set up/break down, we didn’t have to try and organize our wedding party, we didn’t have to time dinner service. We got to be present with each other. We were able to experience our day as newlyweds. Jodi found little moments and opportunities for us to have time alone with each other and take it all in. I would, and do, recommend Jodi and her team to anyone and everyone.

    CES made our day extra special

    We hired Jodi and her team for day-of coordination, but I have to say I feel like we got so much more than that. Jodi was there for us from the moment we met to discuss our big day, answering questions and recommending vendors and ideas. James and I and many of our guests can't stop talking about how great it was to have Jodi and her team there! They made the day go so smoothly and from my perspective nothing went wrong! Before the wedding, people kept telling us that things will go wrong, and that it will go by so quick and we'll be so distracted that we won't remember it. Well, thanks to CES none of that advice was true! We remember the day and we remember it being perfect, I just can't say enough how much that is credited to Jodi and her team. The wedding was at my parents house, which was extra special but also came with a lot of extra details to plan. It also is an extremely special place to our family so it was important to make sure everything was protected and that my parents had some peace of mind. Jodi and her team did just that, they took care of James and I, my parents, the house, our guests, vendors, and pets, and lastly they kept me hydrated...it's more important that you know. Last thing I'll say just to make it clear how great Jodi was, is that my husband and I on our big day both agreed that Jodi was our favorite person there. :) Thank you Jodi and the whole CES team!

    Absolutely perfect!

    Jodi and her CES team have been the biggest blessing we never knew we absolutely needed until November 9th 2018. My husband and I were supposed to get married on November 10th, 2018 aka the weekend the Camp Fire started. While we knew there were MANY others that had it much worse than we did, we were devastated at the fact that we had to postpone our wedding until March. Jodi was so much more than a vendor to us during this time. CES took care of all the rescheduling that was needed to be done and made this hard time easier for us. When March 23rd, 2019 FINALLY came around, our day was absolutely perfect and we owe all that to Jodi and her team. Amongst rescheduling, other family hardships, and pending weather.. Jodi was our rock and made sure every single detail was perfect. Jodi is not only a vendor and a vital person to our wedding day, but became our friend. Other than choosing my husband, choosing Jodi as our wedding planner was the best decision I ever made. If you are on the fence about choosing a wedding planner, hesitate no more. We will forever use CES for planning and events ❤️

    Jodi and CES Weddings were FANTASTIC. I can't recommend her services enough. I didn't worry about a thing the day of my wedding. She was so responsive throughout the process. Made a special trip to meet us at the venue and provided her seasoned input to help us have the best day possible. It was truly magnificent! Hiring her was the best decision I made in wedding planning!!

    I heard about Jodi, because she was the “best wedding planner” in our small town of Chico. Little did I know, she and her team would be not only that, but a WHOLE lot more. A wedding is the best day of your life, and Jodi and her team make it just that. I think the two things that stand out the most to me about CES is the organization, and the calming effect they have on you as a bride, and this day. They made it so easy. I felt like I never had to worry about a thing. Most importantly to me, was having my parents both very present at our wedding. CES was able to allow them to relax and enjoy the day. My Dad couldn’t say enough about how on top of EVERYTHING they were. Over and over, he told me how amazing it was to have them there. All of that is really great, but truthfully, the best part of Jodi and her team, is they’re trustworthy. They truly are your friends and they make it a point for you to know that. The relationship doesn’t stop after the wedding day. The friendship continues for a lifetime. Once a CES bride, ALWAYS a CES bride. I would recommend them over and over again.

    When we first got engaged, I almost immediately reached out to Jodi, at CES! That was certainly my second, very best decision (my groom being the first).

    It was truly a pleasure to work with Jodi and her team. We chose the “day of” package, but it certainly wasn’t a day of experience. She was constantly checking in throughout the whole planning and answered every question I had and gave great recommendations.

    She is extremely professional, and objective which was critical when you are planning large(ish) wedding, in a short 6 months. She quickly picked up on all the details, got in contact with all of our vendors and put together a flawless wedding day! On the day of the wedding, she really helped calm my nerves and took care of EVERYTHING so that my bridesmaids and I (and my husband's groomsmen and him and our parents) could just enjoy the day!

    I would hire Jodi over and over again! Look no further Brides, CES is really more awesome then I had anticipated.

    Jodi and her CES ladies are the dream team for wedding coordination!! I hired them after my sister had an amazing experience working with them her for wedding. I knew right away I would be hiring them for my wedding as well. It is by far the best investment for your wedding to have them by your side. They take away all your responsibilities on the day, so you can relax and enjoy. My husband and I truly had the best day ever on our wedding day, thank you CES!
