Judy Cordell Events

de sure even the little things were good to go. She truly cares for people and goes above and beyond to accommodate any and all requests and always has a solution to seemingly impossible tasks. For example, the week of our wedding our DJ canceled and before we had even found out Judy had already lined up several other DJs to interview and that were available for the space budgeted price on short notice. Her reputation in the industry and professionalism make her the perfect right hand during what can be such a stressful time.

vels - not just your wedding. She will stop at nothing to give you the best wedding day of your dreams. 

ionship and the blending of our families together. Judy helped us create a very personal - customized experience that incorporated aspects of our faith traditions with the ceremony as well as the vintage features of a outdoor wedding held on the front lawn of our beautiful historic home. Judy helped us plan for and accommodate a a gorgeous fall outdoor wedding reception. Featuring gorgeous fall colors and an open-air dance floor under cafe lights and the night sky- our family and friends danced the night away under the stars. Judy's creative ideas and attention to detail provided the most unique and and meaningful experience as a couple, for our children, extended family and friends. When we reflect back on the entire planning experience, we are constantly reminded of Judy's compassionate listening ear, her sage advice and exceptional collection of vendors along with her ability to match the exact right touch to our unique wedding day plans. She is not just the most organized, creative, professional and experienced wedding planner- she is a cheerleader, confidant, advisor and encourager. By the time our special day arrived, the magical experience came to life and Judy and her team were there to ensure the magic lasted the entire day into the last few moments of our reception. Months later, our family and friends are still talking about our wedding day and how much fun they had. We still spend so much time reflecting back on our wedding with such fond a special memories. Thank you to Judy and everyone at Judy Cordell events that made this special day so magical for us as a couple and as a family!

of the details. Judy always took the time to listen to our concerns and came up with creative solutions for us many times. She took so much stress off of us and clearly communicated with our vendors and venue while keeping us in the loop, but not overwhelming us with many of the behind the scenes details. If anything went wrong during the wedding day, we had no idea because Judy and her team addressed it. Thank you Judy and team for making our wedding day perfect!

nd hiring Judy to plan your wedding!

essary and BOY! Was I wrong! There are SO many incredibly small details that you would never even think of when it comes to planning a wedding. Judy always came to meetings prepared with a checklist of everything we would need to work on. She had so many connections as well, which was extremely helpful when it came to finding different vendors for the wedding. My mom and I often joked "what would we do without Judy??" when there was something we overlooked but Judy did not. On the day of my wedding, Judy had every vendor lined up as efficiently as possible for set up. I didn't have to worry about a single thing! My wedding was the wedding of my dreams and my mother & I both know, it would not have been possible without Judy. We cannot recommend her enough. She might be small, but she is mighty! She was always available to answer any questions we had, or to meet in person. She took care of us like we were family. Now that the wedding is over, we're going to miss checking in with her! She is as sweet as can be and I hope to remain in touch with her for the years to come. Thank you again Judy! We will miss you, but now we need to share you with the new brides of 2025 so they can have their dream wedding as well.

She provides organization and structure during the planning process and ensures all parties maintain a tight timeline which allows the entire wedding party to enjoy the actual wedding day. Not only is Judy kind, thoughtful, and organized, she is INCREDIBLY creative in adding little touches for the big day to make everyone's wedding unique. Furthermore, Judy has an excellent network of vendors that provide quality services and products. In sum, Judy is an expert in the wedding industry and helped my now husband, Julian, and me have a wonderful wedding day. We are so happy to have met Judy and now consider her a close friend.

for fishing) and hors d'oeuvres. Best of all, Judy had flower pedals along a sidewalk path leading to the perfect spot for a lakeside sunset proposal. We highly recommend Judy for any special event: proposals, weddings, and receptions. Her ability to listen and attention to detail was carried out with loving kindness. It was a joy and a blessing to work with her.

with the uncertainty of military life and the post COVID world of event planning that was surging from pent up demand. So when Morgan and Ryan were engaged right after Christmas in 2021, I was thrilled when they chose Judy Cordell Events to help plan the most important day of their lives together. Morgan’s sister, my daughter Jenn, was the Maid of Honor and together we served as Morgan’s boots on the ground as Morgan and Ryan were planning from afar. Without Judy Cordell Events, I have no idea how we would have pulled this off. Judy and her team were there from day 1- helping us make the most important decisions in an orderly and well-orchestrated manner. Judy helped us review all the options and guided us as we made decisions and weaved everything together like an intricate puzzle. Every step of the way, all attention was on making sure every decision reflected Morgan and Ryan’s own dreams, priorities and budget to ensure the wedding day was specifically designed with their wishes in mind. The team of vendors were as attentive and responsive as Judy Cordell Events. We loved each and every vendor from the awesome photographers to the talented hair and makeup team. And the florals and venue were simply gorgeous and exactly what Morgan was imaging. And as any of the typical and unexpected hiccups arose as we approached the day, Judy made sure to get everything smoothed out as expected with the notebook of signed contracts in hand. As we approached the special day and experienced each second of Morgan and Ryan’s best day ever, there are so many touching moments that Judy and her team made sure were not missed. From the bridesmaid’s time in the bridal suite with the beautiful bride to the intimate ceremony to the joyous reception that was tailor made for the newlyweds, each moment brought so much joy and happiness to the day. And as we celebrated the bride and groom with glistening sparklers as they drove off, our family knew the newlyweds had a day they will never forget with the family and friends they love the most. All of this was made possible with the expertise, patience, guidance, hard work and team of vendors provide by Judy Cordell Events. I highly recommend using Judy Cordell events and know any engaged couple who is fortunate to have Judy and her team by your side will have all their expectations met and their wedding day dreams will come true!

out all of Judy's guidance. During planning, Judy had a vendor for everything we wanted on our wedding day, and she made sure each vendor kept us in the loop or she followed up with them for updates. Judy communicated with us via email, texts, and phone calls depending on the priority of questions and updates throughout the planning process. We met with Judy at the venue, and we also had a few in person or Zoom meetings with her and the vendors. There was an issue with my wedding dress less than a month before our wedding, and Judy quickly provided a bridal alterations location she had used before. I would have panicked without her recommendation. Our wedding was in December 2022, and Judy helped us plan a wedding that had a holiday look without having too much "Christmas". On the day of our wedding, Judy and her team were there with a schedule every step of the way. Our guests were amazed we stayed on track the entire evening. The reception was absolutely beautiful, and it was truly the perfect day because we were able to enjoy it and not worry about what needed to happen next. We cannot recommend Judy enough!

wer to the many questions we had. The wedding day was more than we expected. As promised, we could enjoy the wedding and reception without worrying about the details! I would definitely recommend her!

to a reality. I was living in a different state than where the wedding was and Judy was able to coordinate all of the detail while staying in touch with me through text, call, email or Zoom call. I was able to actually enjoy the wedding planning process instead of stressing over every minor detail. On the day of the wedding, I didn't have to think or worry about anything. Judy made sure everything happened according to plan. Like every wedding, there were a few minor mishaps, but I had no idea until after the wedding. Judy made sure that each "mishap" was resolved quickly and quietly. Hands down the best wedding I've ever had!

ecommend her 1,000%!

there is a harder working wedding planner. She makes sure that you're delighted and goes above and beyond. Judy worries about everything for you so that you can just enjoy the whole celebration.

ortant factor to us was to be able to relax and enjoy our big day with our family and friends, Judy and her team made that possible through her level of detail, project management, and experience in the wedding/events industry. We could not imagine our day without Judy! Judy and the team were the glue to making our day so special and memorable. Judy Cordell Events - THANK YOU!!!!!

ssionalism led us to relax because we knew we were in expert hands. She is the best wedding planner you could get- we love her to death!

r, I knew right then that she would be my Wedding Planner when that time came. Well, that time came this year and I immediately called Judy! We had a short window of three months but I had no doubt in Judy that she would get it done. She's not only the sweetest human being my husband and I have ever met but she is one of the best in the industry. She listens to all of your wants and needs, she guides you in the right direction if you're unsure about something, she's organized and extremely detailed, and she truly brings your vision to life! Let me tell you, I had a fall themed wedding and wanted something different as my exit item. Judy's brilliant idea was for my guests to throw leaves in the air while my Husband and I ran through. To ensure it actually worked, Judy spent hours throwing leaves in the air then racking/collecting them all, over and over again! True dedication! We could not have asked for a more magical wedding, and Judy made that happen! We are SO thankful for her. She will forever be a part of our lives.

endor meetings and helped answer questions during the planning process and during the days just prior to our wedding. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better team of professionals to make our day the most amazing day ever. Judy and her team are wonderful and and are so sweet, down to earth and personable!

ped us in so many ways along the way. From guiding us and keeping tabs on things on the to-do list, to getting us in touch with reputable and trusted vendors, Judy was there every step of the way to make sure we were creating the wedding we desired. Her communication was top-notch and she was always ready to answer questions. Courteous and friendly, every meeting and goal met was pleasant. She streamlined our event for us and managed everything so that we could have fun on our big day! My mom later sang Judy’s praises to me. She commented on how I didn’t look at all stressed during my wedding. I can tell you with absolute certainty that is because I trusted in Judy and her team for the day of. And everything went so perfectly! You won’t regret having Judy as your wedding planner and day-of-coordinator. Her expertise and management ensured our perfect and most fun wedding day!

f our daughter's wedding. It is just my nature and personality. Both my wife and daughter knew this going in to the planning of this wedding. In full disclosure, I have my own professional services company and have over 30 years experience in professional services. As a result, I know what my clients expect of me and I also expect the same level of service in dealing with other professionals. In a word, Judy was professional. Judy not only met my expectations, which many will tell you is not always an easy job, but far exceeded our expectations. I could use all of my 3500 character limit to expand on everything Judy did for my daughter and our family to make our daughter's dream wedding a reality, but I will not for sake of brevity. Judy has so many tools available to her in her arsenal from years of experience. She absolutely hit some home runs with some of her vendor referrals. Whether it was Betty Jameson and her company, Scribbles and Swirls, for all of our printing and stationery needs, or Center Stage Floors or Mr. Ken Brown for our uniquely engraved river rock wedding favors, these vendors were referrals from Judy and they were the absolute best in the industry. Everyone of our wedding guests commented on their services. These referrals alone were worth every penny spent on Judy's services. The best part, however, was Judy herself and her team of assistants on our daughter's actual wedding day. Every wedding has surprises and ours was no exception. Judy took care of everything, and I literally mean everything. Our daughter was left alone to enjoy the greatness of her special day without having to worry about anything or anyone. Judy took care of every little detail. Throughout our journey together, Judy became more than just our wedding planner. She became a close friend and more importantly, a true blessing from God. In closing, I strongly recommend Judy and Judy Cordell Events to anyone needing a wedding planner. Her level of communication is unmatched and she will devote all of her efforts, time and resources to making your special day a reality. Thank you Judy! You were appreciated more than you will ever know.

extremely knowledgeable of the wedding industry, professional and responsive, but she's truly a kind and wonderful soul that I enjoyed being around so very much. She was at every one of our vendor meetings, referred us to excellent vendors and ensured every tiny detail was accounted for. Our wedding day COULD NOT have been as perfect as it was without the help of Judy and her amazing team. Do yourself a favor and hire Judy Cordell Events... it will be the best decision for the best day of your life!

we made. Judy was beyond knowledgeable, helpful, and organized which made the planning as calm as possible. She went to all vendor meetings with us. Judy did an excellent job facilitating the meetings, asking the right questions, offering suggestions, and helping with contracts. Judy was attentive, easily available, and her many years of experience resulted in so many highlights of my daughter's beautiful wedding. You will not be disappointed in hiring Judy Cordell Events.

end her to anyone without any hesitation.

nd had no complaints! I would definitely recommend Judy and her team to anyone who is in need of planning services! They will have your wedding day run like a well oiled machine.

Judy was extremely thorough, very detail oriented, offered great advice, was incredibly flexible, and had stellar communication with both our family and our venders throughout the process. Judy and her team were organized, professional, accommodating, kind, and willing to roll with the punches. My husband and I were able to completely enjoy the day because Judy had everything taken care of. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day!

She listens to the bride and groom, adds her special personal touches, and brings in the best vendors to make your wedding day all that you hope it to be and more!

our vision. Despite the many road blocks that COVID presented, my family was at ease because Judy took every detail into careful consideration. I can tell she loves what she does because I would get little texts from her throughout the week wherein she would mention how excited she was about a certain detail or make suggestions on how to accomplish our vision - it was in these moments I wondered if she thought more about my wedding than I did. By the end of the event, it felt like Judy was part of the family! I'm sure there were hiccups throughout the wedding day, but I'll never know because Judy and her team did a wonderful job of coordinating with the vendors. My family is so thankful to have worked with such an amazing coordinator!

handle issues if they arised. Judy spent so much time and put in so much effort to make sure we got what we wanted. She is truly an expert planner with a lot of experience and I felt this in the months leading up to our wedding. She thought of all possible scenarios, plans A/B/C and so many things I did not even think of. Even during the times I couldn't be present due to personal reasons, she was "on top" of everything and made the planning less stressful for me. She was responsive to each early morning emails and held open comunication and was flexible with plans and changes. My wedding day was magical and she did an incredible job setting up the wedding/reception with all of my decor. It was exactlly how I had envisioned!!!

my wedding would not have turned out so great. She was super helpful in every aspect. She did not hesitate to help us with any request big or small. She is such a great person, that I truly believe our relationship with Judy will remain even after the wedding. My big day was EVERYTHING and more. I remember walking in and being on the verge of tears from how beautiful everything was. Please if you are looking for someone to plan your special day and want it to be PERFECT, look no further because Judy is the absolute best! we love you Judy!

h I can't say enough about her guidance through the planning stage, it was the day of the wedding that she and her team proved themselves indispensable. They made magic in four months and made it a joyful experience.

ke the dress fitting or engagement photos. This was great because we didn't have friends or family to help with this. My family and friends loved her on the day of the event. Everything ran smoothly because she was very organized and detail oriented. We could not have picked a better planner!

re us our event was everything we dreamed it could be. Judy stepped in and suggested options for vendors and each of the parts of our upcoming event. She was always available for answering all types of questions from etiquette to event-specific choices. She knew about so many details that I wanted but didn’t want to make decisions on like the table linens. She just knew what we would like. She was there to help advise our floral decorations; choice of DJ’s -and even suggested special songs to be played; suggested a graphic designer for invitations who nailed it the first draft (we only needed a couple of minor changes); attended the tasting at our country club to make final decisions on food; she worked with the event manager at the club to assure our expectations were met; her team was there to set up and she even brought some picture frames that better suited our décor than what our pictures are usually displayed in at home. Judy took care of everything so we really got to enjoy our vow renewal and anniversary celebration. She made suggestions that saved us significant dollars. She was always available for discussions in person or by phone. We had so many guests tell us what a great party we had. I highly recommend Judy Cordell to help plan, coordinate and execute your event—of any kind. She is fabulous! No one like her in attention to the smallest detail.

her to help plan and excecute our big day. Judy helped us plan every single detail, both big and small, of our wedding from day one and did such a phenomenal job! Judy listened to each idea and desire that I had and carried them all out to perfection. We were able to trust Judy with everything wedding related and knew that she was taking care of it and in the best way possible. With her vast experience in the wedding business, Judy knows a vendor for absolutely everything and at different price points which was helpful when planning things like floral, music, invitations, lighting, rentals, etc - you name it - she knows someone by first name and has probably worked with them before which is great. One of the things that I valued most about working with Judy was her excellent communication -she will keep you up to date with EVERYTHING and in a very timely manner. Judy never kept us waiting for a reply on anything and was on top of everything (in fact, three steps ahead of us) during the entire planning process which was comforting and helped reduce any stress. We communicated frequently by email, phone calls and even texts. This was super important to me because I knew that I needed someone that I could reach at any time whereas a lot of planners in the Dallas area charge you each time you contact them or even worse, allot you a certain number of "communications" and limit you to a specified time frame. With Judy, this is definitely not the case (we hired her as a full time planner and it was the best decision). Not only did she communicate with me in a timely and professional manner but she also communicated with each of the other vendors we used (photographer, videographer, venue, floral, hair/makeup, etc). to make sure each team knew the details and delivered the services I was looking for. Bottom line, when looking for a wedding planner, you want your planner to be devoted to your wedding to ensure that that the planning and the big day run seamlessly and Judy did just that and more! Do yourself a favor and reach out to Judy for all of your wedding planning needs.
