Events by Cori: Knot Best of Weddings 2015 - 2019

ver dreamed. Thanks to Cory, it felt like a fairytale.

day!

d stress free! I couldn't say enough great things about her!

ways made me feel special and a priority. I put a lot together for my engagement party prior to meeting Cori, so I knew that taking on a wedding was going to be three times the work. Cori made me feel at ease, comfortable, and ready for anything leading up to the “big day.” I said it several times as I had told others, “Cori is a Godsend.” I’m thankful to have met her warm persona and I don’t think my special day would’ve been the same without her. She is suitable to give her best expertise and I hope that you are lucky enough to work with Cori, especially for your wedding journey. Thank you, Cori. I appreciate all of your hard work leading up to my wedding day. You are amazing 🤍🥰 -Claudia

have been possible. We had our wedding at Casa Romantica, she found the vendors and communicated with the venue. I couldn't recommend her enough, thank you so much Cori

y recommend to anyone!!!!

on the day of the wedding coordinated the event very smoothly and we did not have to worry about anything except enjoy our special day. I would recommend Cori for anyone who wants an easy planning experience. She is amazing.

phone through each step of the planning process. It has never been difficult to meet in person too when we are able to go to California to plan. She even set up all out important appointments for one weekend when we went down! It has been easy to give her our random wedding thoughts and see her run with them and give us great ideas for seeing them come true. All of her recommendations have been spot on! She really knows the wedding scene in SoCal!

he one to help us through that big day. We were only confirmed about our choice with every vendor we met telling us, "Oh, you have Cori?! She's great!" She's there with advice for decorations, suggestions with vendors and reassurances when the stress becomes too much. She's available almost around the clock and makes you feel like you matter to her. If you want a coordinator with great connections, a great reputation, and the personality and care to back it all up, then choose Cori and know you're in good hands.

ent continents, a Type A personality and the stress of a traveling consultant for work. She kept me grounded and peaceful (I am sure my husband is super thankful for that). Thank god, I found her early on in the summer of 2017 (I had my first wedding in India in December and the second one in California in April). Though we had hired and paid Cori for "day-of" coordination, what we got from her along the whole year-long process was so much more! Our meetings were detailed and organized, and she was able to transform my mumbo jumbo into a beautifully decorated and organized wedding. Cori saved us so much time and unnecessary stress that came with organizing our wedding. She has great taste, very experienced with SoCal venues (expert in our venue – Casa Romantica), and her organizational skills are top notch. She had personalized checklists, made phone calls for us, and told us not to worry about countless things, as she did them for us. She also had tons of valuable recommendations in terms of other vendors – we got our baker and florist through Cori. She is incredibly patient (I know that for sure because I can have analysis paralysis and take time for decisions) and I am ever so grateful for her keeping her calm and guiding me through this daunting maze. She was also constantly in touch with both of us to remind us of things we needed to do and always made herself available for a chat or a meeting. Always prompt, friendly, and thorough in our communication, we are still so pleased!! On the wedding day, I realized that I had overlooked some (kind of important!) details like card box, water stations etc., and Cori offered up some she had on hand from a previous wedding! She was also accommodating to last minute change of plans like an impromptu dance on the Casa terrace (of course from the bride!), and handled it gracefully with the relevant vendors… all so seamlessly. Cori was there from the very beginning coordinating everyone and everything: Caterer, Officiant, Bar, floor staff, DJ, florist, rentals... not to mention arranging the site and coordinating 80 guests. Multiple guests have mentioned how beautiful, cohesive and well-knit our wedding was, and Andy & I couldn’t have done it without her. Not only is she deeply in love with what she does and extremely professional, she is a very kind personality. Our wedding was amazing, and was practically perfect. I've already recommended Cori to a friend, and I'd enthusiastically recommend her to you, too. She's supportive, cheerful, and incredibly good at her job. She is an expert at SoCal weddings, especially in OC. I know without a doubt that our wedding was beautiful and perfect because she was there every step of the way, taking care of every little detail in a structured manner! Her presence made EVERY difference to me, my husband,and the entire wedding. Thank you, Cori, for all the magic! <3

She had great vendor recommendations and has even worked with vendors on our behalf. Most importantly, she's kept us on track with our "to-do's" and timelines, and has been an absolute joy to work with! I highly recommend working with Cori and am so thankful to have her throughout this process.

ward months later while looking for a wedding planner we sent some emails out to interview other planners. When it came to meet the owner of events by Cori I had no idea it was the same Cori I met previously. Irony I would say. Upon having a more in depth conversation with Cori you get to see she is so much more. On the outside she is calm, sweet, a wonderful listener, and has a very gentle manner. Inside she is on top of it all! Without saying but through her actions she is organized, quick to respond, thoughtful, gracious, mindful, honest, and because of her countless years of being in the business as a wedding planner she has a bountiful amount of resources ranging from DJ''s, officiants, florists etc...everything you will need to have your perfect wedding. I would say if you are looking for someone you can count on to be there for you and provide you with not only what you need but also be that friend that is looking out for you book with Cori!

amazing she is in words, but we will try. What my,now hubby, and I liked most about Cori was how helpful she was! We were able to ask her any questions and she would always come back with an answer. She was sincerely honest with us when she thought things could be a little different. She coordinated so well with all our other vendors (flowers, dj, minister, venue, photographer, cake, our families). Honestly, any time we told a vendor she was our coordinator, I would see a look of relief on their face and they would say something like, "great! She's wonderful!" And she really was! It's the little extra details she did that made us feel very special on our day! I will highly be recommending her to any friends getting married.

otal confidence in her to run my wedding day. The day went so smooth, I would highly recommend getting a coordinator especially Cori so you can enjoy your day. She was helpful in managing my contracts, communication between vendors and running the show. She even stayed with my mom after the rehearsal when her car wouldn't start to make sure she got home. Thank you Cori!

in the world, Cori was able to bring everything to life. If we had to go back and do it again, we'd book Cori in a heartbeat.

mantica, the vendors have exactly 2 hours to set up and decorate. This is a very big undertaking and Cori coordinated it all with grace and a smile on her face. I can't imagine trying to organize all of the moving parts, especially as an out of town mother of the bride. Our daughter's wedding was beautiful and breathtaking and thanks to Cori, everything went off without a hitch. I can't recommend her highly enough. Thank you Cori!

rs, all of which worked seamlessly together. Florist, DJ, Videographer, Photo Booth... she made in-person introductions with all of them and you can tell they work together extremely well. 2. Kept us on track with our timelines and deliverables. 3. We got MULTIPLE comments from our guests about how well organized the event was. "Fabulously organized and executed" was one of the many comments we received. I've been to a lot of weddings and the amount of comments on the organization I think is rare. A lot of brides told me before my wedding "expect something in your plan to not be as planned" and that was not the case. We walked into our vision wedding, and everything was executed to perfection, as if we were the only client. We felt truly special. 4. I had no pre-wedding stress or anxiety because everything was under control. 5. GREAT with our parents- our families adored her! 6. Was super accommodating to our vision and went out of her way to make sure the execution was in line with what we wanted. The night was PERFECT. I can't thank you enough Cori. What a pure joy you were to work with and Max and I are so thrilled that we met you by happenstance at the bridal event. Our wedding would not be the wedding it was without you. Thank you so much Cori for helping us create such a memorable day.

everal issues that came up with our timeline and vendors so smoothly I didn’t even have to lift a finger and was able to just enjoy the moment. Her talent, experience are exponential but her amazing personality is another huge bonus to have by your side. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND her and was so blessed to have her on my big day!!!!!

and really helped us make the day perfect and stress free.

check off lists of items we were bringing to the venue and needed to be returned. She took care of every detail so we could really enjoy the entire day, and it was a long day, around 10-11 hours for her. I would highly recommend using Events by Cori for your wedding planning or co-ordinating. Thank you Avenue of the Arts for recommending this amazing lady.
