“Courtney, Wow. Wow. Wow. Where do I begin? How can I possibly express my gratitude for all you’ve done the past 20 months for me? There’s just too much to say and too much gratitude to be had, so I’ll do my best to keep it sweet & concise.

FIRST OF ALL, the #1 thing that comes to my mind when I think of how grateful I am that YOU were my wedding planner was the unfortunate events of the Wednesday prior to our wedding. As Danny puts it, your response was “masterful”, you knew all the right things to stay to help me calm the F down, feel confident in our day & trust you & our DJ from that moment moving forward. It was at that moment my parents & I knew we made the right decision 1. hiring you 2. asking you to personally join us for the weekend. You are incredible at your job & incredible at talking people off a ledge- something I admire you for greatly.

SECONDLY, the whole day was exactly as I envisioned. You managed to take the storybook vision I had in my mind and implement it into real life. I can definitely appreciate that it’s not easy to read someone’s mind and then implement that vision into real life, but you did. Everyone, and I mean everyone, sang the highest praises for our wedding. So many people complimented us on the gorgeous tablescapes, the decor, the flow of the event from ceremony to cocktail to reception. Multiple people sang your praises stating they had never been to a wedding that was so well run but also didn’t feel as though it was on a tight timeline. “Your wedding planners are cool AF” was the groomsmen comments (they all DIGGED your Nikes). I must agree with them- I was SO impressed you kept things on the exact timeline without me even noticing- it all just flowed and all felt so natural! What a difficult task to implement but one you mastered so effortlessly.

THIRDLY, Your team. The A team. To start there’s Johnny who is just everyone’s best friend the moment they meet him. Johnny is so warm, fun, friendly and hilarious. My dad & Danny both absolutely adored Johnny. He kept things light & fun! When Taco Bell messed up our order (idk if you heard but they accidentally made it at 2:15pm LOL!) Johnny was quick to spring into action and when I couldn’t remember the order Johnny quickly and confidently yelled out an order- my dad & I were cracking up! Not his first rodeo. Cassie- the calming presence I needed was always 2 steps ahead of me making sure I had what I needed. She so eloquently organized the cake cutting and was always making sure I was drinking (both water + booze) and well fed. She also did an AMAZING job with the postcards- the board looked SO SO good! All of you sweated your asses off (literally + figuratively) to make sure we had the best day. Your team went the extra mile on every. single. aspect. & it truly showed.

Thank you x1000 from the bottom of my heart for everything you did for us for our wedding day. The day was truly so magical and beautiful. I wouldn’t have changed a single thing about it. Thank you for the thousands of emails, multiple phone calls, advocating for me, listening to me, and calming me down when I needed it. I actually don’t know that I ever told you this but I was originally talking with a local wedding planner and planned to hire her- she was nice but I got the sense that my wedding would be what she wanted vs what I wanted and my gut told me to look elsewhere. I asked around and kept hearing your name. I am so glad I went with my gut & hired YOU for my wedding day. It was exactly what I wanted and I’m so grateful you let me insert little pieces of myself + our relationship into the day. I never felt judged or nudged to go in any specific direction yet you always gave me your honest opinion + best advice. As Danny says, you truly are masterful. COURTNEY = MASTER WEDDING PLANNER.

Alright I’m done. I’ll wrap it up. But one last thing- I WILL MISS YOU!

With so much love,”

“Quite honestly, hiring Courtney was the single best thing we did for our wedding. First of all, she has an amazing personality, and is so much fun to work with. She is responsive, listens to your ideas, and then gives feedback as to how to make it work. She is realistic and gives great advice. Courtney also turned all of the planning into reality seamlessly. I will never forget walking out to see the finished wedding venue for the first time and wondering how Courtney could have possibly done all of that, and so perfectly. In fact, she made our plans even better. If I could go back the one thing I would do is to get the full package. I HIGHLY encourage you to work with Courtney. There is no way you will ever regret it.”

“Thomas was a bad ass. If you’ve seen Sex and the City and remember Charlotte needing help planning her wedding but she was too shy to tell people what she wanted, so she hired Anthony... a million times over, Thomas was my Anthony.”

“My Maid of Honor warned me not to fall in love with you, but seriously?! You make my wedding life so easy!”

“For our day-of coordination we were thrilled to have Johnny lead us through the day! Johnny absolutely MADE. THE. DAY. He was cool, calm and collected and ran the schedule to perfection. It is a true talent to deal with families and friends on such an emotional day and keep it all on track and he did it with style and finesse! He solved every problem that arose: sorting a new cake stand when the one I had purchased was too small, getting us a shout wipe when I smudged makeup all over the groom’s collar, rearranging the toasts last minute because we’re crazy! He had it all covered! ”
