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!
