til death do us party.

We plan, manage, design, and coordinate the absolute most vibey destination weddings for new-fashioned and non-traditional couples. We have a reputation for planning stress-free events, where everything is smooth like butter, and the guests leave thinking it was the best wedding weekend they’ve ever been a part of.

We are available for weddings in the greater Coachella Valley and Palm Springs areas, San Diego, all over California, and Worldwide.

 

weddings are expensive.

You will dedicate a lot of time and money planning your wedding, and you need someone you trust to manage all the details, be there when you can’t be, and help you along the way with an expert touch.

Planning a luxury wedding, and then hiring a Day of Coordinator is like planning to send a football team to the Super Bowl with no coach (yay, sports!).

Investing in our planning services from the beginning is guaranteed to be some of the best money you spend on your special day.

Our execution, customer service, and flair for hospitality is truly flawless, just like your wedding will be.

We can’t promise you won’t fall in love with us along the way…


“the entire planning process was epic. however, the day of was f'ing blissful. if you are looking for a rad, one-of-a-kind, bad b to help you plan an epic, one-of-a-kind wedding day, then courtney and her team are for you. do not hesitate to book her. she is 1,000,000% worth it.”

- DESIREE + ANDY

 
Since both Rachel and Abe work in hospitality but wanted to be complete guests, they hired Courtney Tibbets of After The Engagement to plan the wedding from start to finish. “She made it seamless and helped calm us down and keep us focused if we ever got stressed,” Rachel says. “Literally, because of her, our day was more than we could have ever dreamed of.”

you just got engaged, what’s next?

 
 
 

you’ve heard it all…

  • wedding planning driving people crazy

  • terrible vendors taking your money and then not answering emails

  • fighting with the fiance(e)

  • the most stressful year ever

    Even worse, are you already feeling all the things, and you haven’t even booked a date or a venue yet?
    Perhaps you’re one of those people who HASN’T dreamt of their wedding their whole life, and you just don’t know where to start.

    What’s a Pinterest? Do I need a theme?

you’ve come to the right place.

Because we know our shit; and surprise! Wedding planning does not have to suck.

There is such a thing as a perfect wedding, and we know how to execute it, down to every last detail.

 
 
 
 

meet your new best friend


Getting married at a hotel?  Cool.  Did you fall in love with a DIY venue with super complicated rules, logistics, and loads of vendors needed to make your vision come alive, but you are intimidated by everything that goes along with that?  Perhaps you have decided to scrap the venue plans altogether, and transform your own backyard.  Been there, done that, came home with a trophy.  

After the Engagement is a boutique wedding planning company that is all about unique, non-traditional, non-cookie cutter weddings that let your personality shine, and leave your guests talking about how much fun it was for years to come. Yes, I mean years. I have clients from 10 years ago telling me their guests are still talking about their wedding.  It’s not just about how it looks, it’s about how your wedding feels.  I strive to create experiences from beginning to end, and I pride myself on my background in customer service and hospitality.  

“Wedding food always sucks" “Wedding DJ’s are cheesy”  - what?  who?  Hockey puck chicken, tough steak, and bad wedding cocktails can go to hell!  Let’s wow ‘em with food from the best wedding caterers, good booze and creative cocktails, the most bangers to take your shoes off and dance to, and of course, a kick ass, not-ever-cheesy professional wedding DJ to crank it up and MC it all, and make the guests feel led through the evening in the best way possible.  

We gotta throw in some pretty shit to look at (Instagram, anyone?) while you pledge forever, and you have the wedding to talk about for a lifetime.  The worst parts of weddings are long gone.  Let’s throw a great party; one where you get to look around and see everyone you love in one place at one time, for what will probably be the only time in your entire life.  It’s something to celebrate and remember forever, and we are honored to be a part of it.
