I don't think I will ever truly be able to express how much I love Courtney and the After The…read moreEngagement team. I am a former wedding planner and stylist and was lucky enough to work with Courtney during my previous career. So when my fiance, now husband, proposed, and we knew we wanted to get married at Frank Sinatra's Estate in Palm Springs, hiring Courtney was an absolute no-brainer. From day one, Courtney was on it when booking our very sought-after venue on a very popular date, during the busiest part of wedding season. She was our advocate when researching and booking each and every vendor. She was as hands-on or hands-off when we needed her to be. However, she was never shy to give us honest, unfiltered advice about vendors, service, and experience to ensure we found the right vendors for us, our venue, and our vision for the day. Courtney is an absolute badass. She takes no sh!t and will not let anyone take advantage of her or her clients. This is by far one of the most valuable qualities a wedding planner can have, especially in the fast-paced Southern California wedding scene. I had a very specific vision for our day and Courtney got the vision immediately and was able to steer us in the right direction for everything we needed. She understood where we wanted to splurge and where we wanted to be a little frugal on certain items. I knew she understood what we were going for, and always had our backs, even when working behind the scenes. I cannot tell you how freaking organized and thorough she is. As someone who understands wedding planning, she answered my questions and had things planned and ready before I needed to even say or do anything. She has excellent communication with her clients, her team, and all vendors, and I knew everyone had the information and what they needed during planning and the day of the wedding. The entire planning process was epic. However, the day of was f'ing blissful. Courtney, Johnny, and Amanda made sure everything looked perfect, all vendors were on time, and where they needed to be, and everything was on schedule... we even ran early. I honestly did not worry about anything that day. My job was to look beautiful and marry the love of my life, and Courtney ensured that is what happened. I am just in awe of Courtney's skills, the team she has built, and the community of vendors she has lovingly curated. I will never stop talking about what an asset and badass she is. She is not for everyone, which I find to be even more appealing. She knows herself and her clients and has built an amazing brand by being true to herself. Her brand of weddings is in a galaxy of their own, out of this world. If you are looking for a rad, one-of-a-kind, bad b!tch to help you plan an epic, one-of-a-kind wedding day, then Courtney and the After the Engagement team are for you. Do not hesitate to book her. She is 1,000,000% worth it.

We were so fortunate to have Courtney as our wedding planner. When initially looking for a planner,…read moreCourtney stood out because of her cool, modern, non-traditional weddings, but we were also told by our venue (and later several vendors) that she was the best wedding planner to work with. During the planning process Courtney was prompt, detail-oriented, and very direct. This was definitely true during the wedding weekend. Everything went as initially planned, except that the first dance was started at a different time than anticipated. However, this change happened so smoothly that even we forgot it hadn't been planned that way from the start. Multiple guests also told us how amazing our planner was. I have nothing, but positive things to say. Courtney can definitely take charge of an event; she's extremely capable, prompt, direct, and honest. Our wedding SO perfect and way better than I could have imagined it because of Courtney! Alsooo she connected us with the BEST vendors!

Not only was she warm and welcoming, but she was genuine and you could tell she really cared. We both shared the same humor, and she understood my vision for my dream wedding. We had planned everything out from florals, dress, venue...etc.. everything went smoothly and we had finalized the whole shebang! Then the pandemic hit, and you can say it was a stressful moment as a bride & planner. I just continued to trust Dana in her expertise and try my best to go with the flow! We ended up planning a smaller elopement because my husband and I did not want to wait. Dana was quick to come up with new ideas, and presented them all to me in a timely fashion. We figured out what came next, and worked together to create a day that I will remember forever. Thank you Dana for not only staying by my side through this really hard year, but also staying inspired while these hard times came and went. I really am so thankful for Dana, and I am glad to have had the opportunity to work with her on making my dream wedding come true. Even if it wasn't what I originally planned due to the pandemic, it still was the best day of my life and the day really came together the way God had intended. THANK YOU DANA!!!

She was always available to chat if I had questions and always sent me reminders so I never missed anything. We planned a 150 person wedding at home. NOTHING fell through the cracks. She found all of our vendors and made sure pricing and expectations were exactly what we wanted. It was the most beautiful wedding I'd ever been to. She took care of absolutely EVERYTHING. I would give her a 50 star rating if I could. She is the best of the best.

It was so fantastic that my girlfriend said she wants to hire the same wedding planner... Create Events. Throughout the day the team was on point. Two of the ladies checked on us before photos began. They also got us on the limo bus to where the ceremony was being held and made sure the bridal party was very well taken care of. Meanwhile one of the coordinators stayed with the bride and groom to do their photos and make sure everything went according to plan. When we arrived at the Thursday Club (ceremony location) there were two coordinators taking care of all the setup. It looked amazing and when the bride walked into the ceremony site she actually cried and said, "Oh my God! It's so beautiful!" I know this was something she and the groom were worried about because at the rehearsal they mentioned that they wanted all the red draping covered in white. Both the bride and groom were so happy to see how it turned out! I really thought Monica and her team couldn't out do the ceremony but then we got to the reception and wow! BEST PARTY EVER! The reception area was really decked out! They had a sushi station (which I ate a lot of), an Italian station and a meat carving station. All the food was awesome, the setup of everything looked great and the timing was perfect. We did our entrance, had dinner and got the party started. The bride and groom were so happy with everything. I don't think I've ever heard so many people say, "What an amazing wedding!" "Best wedding ever!" etc. Honestly, when I get married I'm hiring this team. They could pull off anything you want and my wife is going to be stoked. A happy wife means a happy life.

I looked up workshops being offered in January on their online calendar. This was super easy! I saw a fun workshop on a Saturday so I clicked on it. (They has a lot of options: wood burning, blanket making, succulent boxes, etc). It took me to a new page where I could purchase tickets for this "event". It was off site from this listed location, it was at a nearby hotel. I purchased the tickets easily and got a confirmation email. The day before the workshop I got an email from the company letting me know/confirming the time, place, and a little more information about it. When we arrived to the location it was all set up and going. There was no place to check in so luckily we were honest people and said we really were there for that workshop haha. We made beautiful hand knitted Merino wool blankets. The girl teaching was super cute, fun, and friendly. When it was over you got to keep your blanket. This class was a little on the pricey side but we had a beautiful ocean view and a nice wool blanket! The only thing I would say would make this experience even cooler was if there was a cute welcome sign or maybe a glass of champagne offered. Otherwise. A fun experience from this company! Use their website to find an upcoming workshop!!

After nearly a month of "tag" the party and details were finally set. Walking in the studio is small which is fine, but the floors in the main room were gross. You could barley walk without sticking to it. The ladies weren't the most friendly group either. I will say they kids had a great time and I'm sure it's an experience they will remember for a long time.
