Cayleigh Hopkins was our 'Day Of' wedding planner from Sage Innovations and she is AMAZING!! She made my day virtually stress free. There was nothing too big or too small for Cayleigh to handle. She is professional, punctual, bubbly, and such a nice person. I loved having her around!!
We live in DC and were deciding between a local wedding and one in Charleston. I reached out to two planners in Charleston to get some help with a budget for a venue there. While the other planner took a week to respond, Cory called me from her vacation and was very helpful and responsive with all my questions. We ended up falling in love with a venue in Virginia, but had we decided on Charleston Cory absolutely would have been my planner. She is great at what she does and you cannot go wrong by selecting her!
After an exhaustive search, six phone interviews with other wedding planners, and three face-to-face interviews, we selected Cory Winn and Sage Innovations to plan our upcoming wedding. There were a few important factors in choosing her over the others that have borne themselves out as we work with her more.
First, she is very responsive and helpful. At every turn and with every request, she gets back to us very quickly and provides a surfeit of information to help us make decisions.
Second, she internalized our particular needs and constraints. From the very beginning Cory took our budget, timeline, and other priorities and began developing creative solutions and enhancements. When everybody else brushed off our limitations as "our issue," Cory made them her problems to solve.
Lastly, Cory stepped up to manage not only the process itself but also communication. A huge component of planning a wedding is keeping all the relevant (and sometimes even those not relevant!) parties informed of nearly everything. Those parties may include family, extended family, vendors, wedding party, et cetera who all may have divergent interests. Cory has adroitly managed communication to keep us from having to be involved in every call or every email. She has expertly known when to include us and, importantly, when not to.
I would recommend Cory not only for the reasons listed above but also for her genuine personality. She is very lovely to work with! Cory is always fun, cheerful, and positive, and she makes you feel like you are her only bride. From professional to personal attributes, Cory Winn at Sage Innovations offers exceptional services!
Cory went above and beyond my expectations on what a wedding planner was supposed to be on my wedding day. Not only was she professional, detail oriented, and on top of all aspects of the day, but she supported me as a friend and confidant throughout the entire process.
I would not hesitate to recommend Cory and Sage Innovations to anyone I know for any style/type of wedding. She has the tools and resources to make whatever a Bride is looking for and/or imagining come together. What a sweet pleasure it was to have her as part of my day!
I was fortunate enough to have Cory Winn as my day of wedding planner with her fiance fulling helping by her side. They were perfect in every way and my wedding day would have been caious without them. Cory's many years of experience contributed to helping me work out kinks before the wedding day and made it possible for me to enjoy the evening as she thought all my thoughts for me when it came to making adjustments or helping someone during the evening. It was the best decision to have her by my side on my wedding day!
Cory and her staff were the best any bride could ever hope to work with in the months leading up to and during the big day! Always professional, organized, cheerful, super detail-oriented (which I particularly love), cost conscientious when needed, and encouraging. Cory listened to my thoughts (no matter how big or small) through the end of planning process to help with the finishing details. My family and friends will continue to sing her praises to anyone we know planning a wedding! I called Cory "Wonder Woman" during the week of, and thanks to Cory and her staff I was able to enjoy my wedding day without a single worry. I highly recommend Sage Innovations to any bride!
Our wedding day at the I'on Creek Club was stress free and PERFECT, thanks to Cory! As a 'do-it-yourself' couple, Cory was always there to guide us through the process, recommend vendors (which were all AMAZING), and bounce ideas off of. She made it seem effortless to plan a wedding 10 hours away - I don't know how we could have pulled it off with out her!!
I just can't say enough about Cory - her positive energy is contagious, and knowledge of wedding/event planning is boundless. You just can't go wrong!
For anyone trying to plan a wedding, Cory Winn is your go to girl! I have found myself saying, "I couldn't have done it without Cory" to numerous compliments since my own big day. With a limited budget, Cory helped me find ways to save but still create a beautiful atmosphere. She knows where to go and who to talk to for aspects such as seating, florals, decorations, favors, linens, music, bartenders, caterers, and the like. Cory was honest with me in what would work and what wouldn't. However, she always listened to my desires, gave suggestions, and in the end everything was just how I wanted it to be. Every time we met we went over the budget on an easy-to-understand spreadsheet. She helped me cut or limit the unnecessary so I wouldn't overspend. The day of my wedding was perfect, and I couldn't have asked for a better planner. I highly recommend Sage Innovations by Cory Winn.
Cory did a fabulous job on our Charleston wedding!! Everything was exactly how I had imagined it to be. She focused on every little detail and it could not have turned out better! She made sure we had nothing to worry about on our wedding day! It turned out absolutely beautiful and we are so thankful! I would recommend Cory to anyone! Fantastic service!
I was introduced to Cory by a friend during my wedding planner search. We spoke initially on the phone for what seemed like moments, but turned out to be over an hour. We immediately clicked--it was very organic, she felt like a friend, not like someone trying to figure out how much I was willing to spend. She spent time asking about me, my personality, my vision, and my fiance and I's relationship and more.
The first time I met Cory--I had mis-understood our appointment and showed up at her house unannounced. She took it wonderfully (much better than I would having a perfect stranger show up at my door)--we sat down and immediately I knew--she was the one!
On our first site visit she immediately made it clear how valuable she was and that I had made the right choice--she asked a million questions at the venue, things I never would have thought to ask because for many reasons, one being her experience to know to ask, and another being I was so engrossed in the beauty and picturing my wedding--she looks and sees that, but also sees it logistically.
Since that first visit, she has more than proven how invaluable she is--she is constantly helping me with anything and everything (don't believe it? Just today she offered to drive my bridesmaides and I to Orlando for my bachlorette!) she has become not only my wedding planner, but a friend. She is more than willing and able to help with anything and everything I ask.
I can NOT say enough wonderful things about Cory. It seems too good to be true...but it isn't! I give her my highest recommendation, and can't wait to introduce her to my friends when they get engaged!
Wow! My wedding was a dream come true! I would definitely recommend Cory's services because she went above and beyond for me. I was one of her first long-distance bride's through a college friend we shared. Even though I was planning a wedding from Virginia and her living in Charleston, Cory was so accessible to me and always responded to my calls, texts, and e-mails with a quick turnaround time. She surpassed all of my expectations and took all of the stress away from me on my special day.
Cory did everything in her power to meet with us for phone appointments and negotiate stellar deals! Cory listens, executes with precision, and offers her advice as needed. She also understood our budget and worked with us to make our wedding elegant and absolutely memorable.
Finally, I was assured that Cory was the right person when she joined my family and friends during the reception to dance the night away with us while making sure all of the timeline went as planned. I am going to tell this to the world! This was a personal touch that every wedding planner should have...but something that cannot be duplicated. Cory showed us that she could dance with the best of us and let me tell you this girl can dance!
Cory is passionate about her bride's and decided to pursue her passion full-time on her own with Sage Innovations because that is how much she believes in it. I believe in her and I pray that you give her the opportunity to plan your magnificent wedding because she always hits the mark. She is extremely detailed oriented and established everlasting connections. I still keep in touch with her to this day. Choose Cory because she will make "it" happen!
My wedding plans at the Historic Rice Mill could not have gone more smoothly thanks solely to Cory Winn and her assistant. As most brides, I was obviously concerned about every detail of the big day but from our first meeting, Cory was able to immediately set my mind at ease with her experience, professionalism and down to earth personality. I just knew things would be handled and that I could count on her for everything.
When one of my vendors made a little snafu with the linens prior to the start of our event, Cory jumped to the rescue, called them on the spot and fixed the problem. No stress for me as her quick thinking allowed me to enjoy all my pre-wedding primping with family and friends. This is the type of experience you want not only on your special day but especially in all the months leading up to it – that is what ensures a beautiful day! And for this reason, I highly recommend Cory and her team at Sage Innovations.
Cory and I came into contact with one another by chance while I was in panic mode for my upcoming wedding that was 3 months away. I chose to be married on a plantation in SC in the winter with an outdoor setting and was at a loss for who to turn to and where to even begin. The moment we started chatting, I realized that her personality was perfect and I knew just by her kind way and professionalism that she could handle ANY situation. At this point, I made the decision to hire her and release all the stress and concern, and trust that Cory would make my wedding perfect. She took this very complicated wedding setting and ran with all the tasks at hand and made it the most amazing experience a bride could ever imagine. We never had one problem- only great communication and quick response time. Cory has great contacts and is very well liked in the coastal SC areas. We are now dear friends and will share this for a lifetime. I give her an A++ and would hire her for any type of event planning. :)
