Shannon K. Sent on 09/22/2022Cody is a gift from the Wedding Gods!
Let me start out by saying I can't count the number of times before and after I got engaged that I said I would never get a wedding planner and could do it all myself with my mom (I laugh as I just typed that by the way). Well, that was until I met Cody Smith! As I began booking vendors, I continued to get asked who my wedding planner was and kept saying that I did not need one. They probably thought I was nuts. It wasn't until I booked my photographer that he explicitly told me I needed a wedding planner and the wedding planner I should hire was Cody Smith. That was hands down the best advice I received during the planning process. From our first call with Cody, we knew she was definitely our girl! As we began working with Cody, we loved everything about her. Cody is incredibly talented at what she does and on top of that is so kind and truly cares about you not as just a bride but as a person. Cody took every idea that we had for our wedding and brought it to a whole other level that I could never have imagined. The time she puts in, the detail, energy, and dedication that Cody brings makes you feel as if you are the only bride she is working with. Cody was exactly what I never knew I needed but can't describe how lucky and grateful I am to have had Cody as my wedding planner. Cody is so much more than just your wedding planner; she becomes your family. My wedding was the wedding of my dreams and perfect in every way. I can 100% say that my wedding day was perfect because I had Cody as a wedding planner. Cody, I can't thank you enough for all that you did for us and our wedding. I am so grateful for you. You are the best of the best and one of a kind, as I said in the title a gift from the Wedding Gods! If you are a bride like me who thinks you do not need a wedding planner, I am here to tell you I promise you that you do. And the wedding planner to hire is Cody. -

Camper K. Sent on 03/24/2024AMAZING experience! You've found the BEST planner, book her already!
Wow. Cody made the experience of planning a wedding not stressful at all. She is super quick to respond to text or email! She advocated for us to our vendors. We had a weekly call going over any questions she had for us or we had for her. She thinks of EVERYTHING. Our vendors knew her already and had only nice things to say about her. We were not planning on hiring a planner, but we are so glad that we did. No regrets at all! Cody made the most detailed wedding day timeline that really helped my type A self. Cody is so easy to talk to and helped us to be relaxed. She even did our florals; she did such a beautiful job for a fraction of the cost! Seriously, we cannot recommend her enough. Book her already!! -

Cody is amazing to work with. She is thoughtful and responsive and really takes care of everything so that we were able to enjoy our special day. Especially with our family coming in from out of town, Cody’s services were invaluable. She made our wedding beautiful and so much fun! We can’t thank her enough! -

Zach T. Sent on 11/01/2023But Seriously, You Need to Hire Cody
The best decision I made for my wedding was hiring Cody.
Our wedding day itself could not have been more special. Cody delivered on everything we wanted and then some. There were several times that night I just had to give Cody a big hug, given how perfect everything was.
From our first conversation, it was clear she would offer a personalized service, and that she deeply cared about making our wedding special. She got to know us so well over a short period of time that she was able to accurately predict each choice of vendor we would make before we did. It got to the point that I just asked her to provide her first choice, and then one alternative so I could price compare (and we always picked the first choice!)
She remained in constant communication leading up to the wedding, and made sure we stayed on schedule and were on track at every step. Her planning documents were meticulous yet made everything easy to keep track of.
As I mentioned, the wedding itself blew my already high expectations out of the water. From the moment she showed up on the day-of to the last moment of the reception, Cody and her team had everything covered and running smoothly. Even when we had an emergency come up with our wedding suits, her team was able to fix the problem quickly and make sure everything was perfect! As an extremely type-A person, it's hard for me to not stress about the details, but I was able to just relax and enjoy myself all night knowing Cody was handling whatever would come up.
I could not have asked for a better wedding planner. Do yourself a favor: hire Cody. -

Liz B. Sent on 12/02/2023Cody far exceeded all expectations!
From my first conversation with Cody, I knew she was the one! Cody was most definitely the best decision we made for our wedding.
From the start, she was personable and professional, and I was confident she had our best interests in mind with every decision she made during the planning process.
It wasn't easy to plan our wedding in Charlottesville after moving out of state two months after getting engaged. Cody made the planning process as easy as possible. I trusted every vendor recommendation Cody provided, and we couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out!
I truly miss my weekly planning calls with Cody, and I know she will remain a friend for life. Cody possesses all of the qualities you want in a planner--she is extremely responsive, organized, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. I spoke with several other planners and compared them to Cody each time. None of them even came close to Cody's level of passion and experience.
You will not regret your decision to hire Cody--we literally could not have done it without her! -

The best of the best
I wish I could give Cody a million stars. No review could ever do her justice. She’s the absolute best in the business, she came into our wedding a month before and took everything off of my hands and handled it as if she has been a part of our wedding for years. She learned the ins and outs of our wedding plans/hopes/expectations and helped create the best day of our lives. I truly could have never done it without her. She saw all the things that could’ve gone wrong (the things I would have never thought about) and made sure they never happened on our day. Her husband and team went far beyond our greatest expectations. She truly was my fairy godmother and provided the best service for our ceremony and reception. I cannot thank her enough!!!! -

Ashton M. Sent on 05/11/2023Cody Smith Weddings, the best! ✨
As a reference from my wedding photographer, Cody Smith Weddings is the absolute best! Cody is such a quality wedding planner!
Cody always had my best interest at heart! I immediately realized that I could trust in Cody’s advice, whether it be with vendors or just my own design ideas. With Cody being excellent with communicating amongst vendors and myself, I did not ever have to deal with any issues during our wedding planning. Cody and I would speak once a week, those calls helped so much with every aspect of the wedding design plan. Cody also has such a creative vision, this vision made for such a unique design plan for my wedding. With Cody’s ideas, maracas were placed on the guests’ seats at the ceremony to celebrate Cinco de Mayo with us as we said our vows! Cody was ever present in creating a personalized online wedding document for us, helping us to keep up with all the details of our wedding. Cody also created a detailed wedding timeline for the wedding party and all of the vendors for our wedding day. Cody made sure that all of our wedding dreams would come true!
The day of the wedding, it was evident just how much attention to detail that Cody had given to our special day. Everything was in place and perfect! The details and our venue, absolutely stunning!
Cody made sure that my bridesmaids and I were well taken care of on my wedding day. She assigned Lillian as our bridal assistant. My wedding dress was a ball gown, Lillian carried my dress everywhere with me. I do not believe that my dress ever touched the ground on my wedding day. I also had a very elongated and detailed veil, Lillian made sure that my veil was always in place during our first look and wedding ceremony. Lillian even helped fix sewing detail with my bridesmaids dresses. Impressive! She was always asking if we needed anything or could help us in any way. She was the sweetest and so caring with us girls! By the end of the night, I absolutely adored her!
Cody, our wedding was a fairytale and it was all because of you!
I will miss my wedding planning with Cody, but I will miss her heart the most! 🤍 -

The BEST wedding planner we could have asked for
If you are trying to decide on a wedding planner, there is no need to look any further. HIRE CODY! From our very first phone call, I knew we would be in great hands. Cody is communicative, honest, transparent, patient, and incredibly detail-oriented (this is an understatement - she has a plan for absolutely every scenario). Cody has a contagious warmth and her passion for wedding planning is clear in all that she does. After our wedding night send-off, my husband and I got into the car and literally looked at each other and said "Cody is amazing."
Cody will make you feel heard throughout the entire wedding planning process. This is SO important since planning can feel like a whirlwind at times. She has a delicate way of navigating varying preferences while also expressing her own advice/recommendations from years of industry experience.
We LOVE Cody and couldn't be more grateful for her and all that she did to make our wedding perfect. -

If you truly want to know just how incredibly Cody is, consider the fact that I am writing this review and my wedding is still 10 months away. When I was inquiring of what felt like hundreds of wedding planners, Cody was the only one who emailed me within the hour and immediately requested that we jump on a phone call together to talk more about the wedding and me and my fiance as a couple. It was less than 5 minutes into the call that I knew she was the wedding planner for us. Cody has truly gone ABOVE & BEYOND in helping me plan my wedding from creating our layout, giving me a list of vendors & recommendations to secure, helping me negotiate rates with the vendors and pointing me in the right direction when I wasn't quite sure what I wanted. Shoot, she even secured me an incredible caterer after they had already told me my venue was too far away because even the catering company knows she is worth it. Cody is so incredibly knowledgeable on ALL things wedding related. I honestly couldn't imagine trying to plan this wedding without her. She may not have a ton of reviews just yet, but I guarantee you will not be even the slightest bit disappointed with her service. -

Jordan A. Sent on 11/07/2022Cody Smith - fantastic wedding planner!!!
Simply put, Cody is a fantastic wedding planner, with an incredibly devoted team behind her, who will ensure that all of your needs and concerns will be taken care of to the fullest extent. My wife and I live in NYC, and hired Cody to plan our wedding which was located in rural Virgina, about 45-minutes outside of Charlottesville. We had a short engagement - about 9 months - and due to the timing, as well as the venue's location, there were a ton of logistical concerns and robust coordination that needed to be figured out to make sure the day was a success. From the second we hired her, Cody had every minute detail spec'd out, and was exceptionally communicative with both us, and the myriad of vendors we hired, naturally creating such a trustful relationship that we never felt that there was any stone left unturned or any red flags or concerns that coordination with anyone was off. She planned the entire weekend down to the second, and ensured that anyone involved in the wedding (parents, friends, vendors, etc.) knew the precise details of where they needed to be, when, and what their role was. I had high expectations going into the planning process (because I'm OCD as hell), but she just absolutely crushed it and far exceeded what my wife and I thought was possible. We were always going to have a great time, but the bar was certainly raised with Cody behind the scenes planning everything. Lastly, I just want to shout out Binta, one of Cody's staffers, who essentially shadowed me (the groom) throughout the entire afternoon of our wedding. I didn't know that was going to be the case, but damn am I happy that Binta was around. Anything I wanted, or needed, she was there ready to help, and was just enjoyable to be around. Thank you, Binta!!!
If you ever want a first-hand reference check on hiring Cody, message me, I would be happy to share my experience. -

From start to finish, our experience with Cody Smith Weddings was Excellent! Our wedding was in Fair Field, Virginia. The Bride and Groom live in New York, one set of parents in VA and the other set in NC. We needed professional help and recommendations and Cody was the perfect person to pull it all together. She coordinated every detail of the wedding: Invitations and Paper Goods, Florist, Catering, Bakery, Rehearsal Dinner location, Bus Transportation to and from the Ceremony to three hotels, Tent needs and Installation, the Band’s needs, Chair Rentals and Placements, Porta Potties, etc. You name it and she did it: she thought of Every detail. She is excellent in communicating and keeping everyone involved on schedule and manages to do so without making any one mad! She’s a marvel.
She was easily the best money spent on the wedding! We could not have pulled off this wedding without Cody and her team! Her team’s Day of Wedding catering to the Wedding Party was exemplary and made the Wedding Day much more peaceful, streamlined and fun.
Our Wedding exceeded our expectations!! We could not be more pleased with hiring Cody Smith Weddings for the event. She is Awesome!

Cody is phenomenal and we cannot thank her enough.!
Living hours away from Charlottesville and not knowing anyone from the area made our search for a wedding planner a daunting task. With lady luck on our side, we found Cody Smith. After my very first phone call with Cody, I felt she was the right person for the job with her years of wedding planning experience and extensive knowledge of the Charlottesville area. Not only is she an amazing human being but she is great at what she does. From the very beginning, she set the tone by having an open line of communication to make sure our wedding day vision would come to fruition. She provided my fiancé and I easy to follow spreadsheets and documents to make sure we were on a solid timeline as well as track our progress with the vendors. Cody made the entire process painless by introducing us to many of the vendors that we wouldn’t have known of since we didn’t live in the area.
On our wedding day, it was close to perfect. From the small details she added to the table arrangements to her precise wedding day timeline, Cody’s effort was on full display. We were blown away at how beautiful and amazing our wedding day turned out and many if not all our guests had a great time. NONE of this would have been possible without the hard work of Cody Smith. This woman is phenomenal and we cannot thank her enough!! -
