Hi, I’m courtney

wedding & event expert / mother of one gray cat, zoey (150 months old) / aspiring reality tv villian/ cURATOR of vibes, timelines, floorplans & such

If planning your wedding feels overwhelming, exhausting, and like you're questioning if it’s all worth it—trust me, I’ve been there. When I started in the wedding industry, I was driven by the dream of creating magical moments & experiencing once in a lifetime events, but I quickly realized the 'copy and paste’ mentality wasn’t sustainable for me. After experiencing the burnout of seeing the same things over and over again, I knew I needed a fresh approach. And that is what I bring to my weddings - something different, something unique. Through almost two decades of refining my process and craft, I found the perfect balance between creating extraordinary celebrations and keeping the journey as stress-free as possible, as it should be.

I’m here to help you bring your dream day to life with ease and joy.

AFTER I GOT MARRIED EXACTLY 427 YEARS AGO,

i was sad and depressed,

because i missed planning the wedding.

so i became a wedding planner…

and i’m damn good at it.

Almost 600 weddings, 10 website iterations, God knows how many logos, 1 camel, a few flamingos, 1 gangster wedding with 4 fights (“when did you figure out we were just a bunch of gangsters from East LA?”), a couple ambulances, 1 instance of getting escorted out by security to the COPS theme song, many calls from the noise ordinance department, 1 case of heat stroke, 1 exploding fire extinguisher, a groom stuck in an elevator, a haboob, only 4 rainy days, a couple of power outages, a pandemic, a 100% client satisfaction rate, and more…

I KNOW I CAN HANDLE ANYTHING.

Yes, even your Mother.

Fun Facts

  • Hospitality transforms a wedding from a checklist of tasks into a heartfelt celebration that guests and the couple will treasure forever. For a wedding planner, it’s not just about what we do—it’s how we are able to make people feel. Hospitality turns a wedding from an event into an experience, where every detail is designed to make the couple and their guests feel cared for and celebrated. For a wedding planner, it’s not just about coordinating the day—it’s about creating an atmosphere of warmth, joy, and connection that leaves a lasting impression. Oh, and kick ass food and drinks, too.

  • Exceptional customer service is the foundation of successful wedding planning. It’s about truly listening to a couple’s vision, understanding their unique needs, and exceeding their expectations at every turn. For a wedding planner, customer service should mean:

    • Clear Communication: Keeping the couple informed and confident through timely updates and transparent planning processes.

    • Personalized Attention: Tailoring every aspect of the experience to reflect the couple’s style, values, and story.

    • Problem-Solving with Grace: Handling challenges with professionalism, calmness, and quick solutions, so the couple feels supported no matter what.

    • Going the Extra Mile: Anticipating needs and infusing thoughtful touches that make people feel truly special.

    • Building Trust: Creating a partnership rooted in reliability, care, and a shared commitment to bringing their dream day to life.

    For a wedding planner, customer service is about more than delivering a flawless event—it’s about providing an experience that makes couples feel celebrated, understood, and at ease throughout the entire journey.

  • The number one most important quality in a wedding planner is attention to detail. Weddings are complex events with countless moving parts, and being able to focus on every small detail—while keeping the big picture in mind—ensures that everything comes together seamlessly. A wedding planner with excellent attention to detail can anticipate needs, prevent issues before they arise, and create a smooth, stress-free experience for the couple and their guests. This quality builds trust and confidence, making sure nothing is overlooked, from the timeline to the tiniest decor elements.

  • At some point, I WILL call you “girl”. Doesn’t matter who you are.

  • "Courtney knows her wedding/event/general life shit!!!!! Her and her team worked extremely hard to make every step of wedding planning simple (and enjoyable). Anytime we began to feel overwhelmed, Courtney jumped in and eased our minds. There's so much going on behind the scenes with her and her team that I can't even speak to, but I felt fully taken care of and would 10000% put my trust in this team to carry out any type of wedding. Like, it RAINED during our Palm Springs wedding, and my biggest concern was my hair."

    -Emily & Austin

  • "I am not an anxious person and was SO excited for my day, but when the day came, I had actual anxiety, and the only person who made me feel at ease was Court. She came in so calm, talked me through each moment, and reminded me to breathe."

    -Christina & Blake

  • "Seriously the best in the business. I own a wedding catering company and we work with Courtney often and she is by far the best planner. We get to experience working with a lot of different planners and vendors so I would say our opinion matters, and honestly if you're considering her, book her before you lose out. Her attention to detail and overall badassery is what you want for your big day."
