Cortney Crane Events

Cortney helped us as our wedding planner and our day-​of coordinator and she was incredible. My wife is from Honolulu but we live on the mainland, so it was so helpful to have Cortney on our team checking out venues and vendors. She was super organized and made the whole process so much less stressful. Her communication via Skype and phone was great — she kept us in the loop as much as we needed to be but she did all the ground work for us. On the day of the wedding, she somehow blended into the shadows and just made everything happen, almost magically. We even had multiple guests comment on how professional and on top of everything she was. The event would not have come together so seamlessly without Cortney.

Cortney is truly AMAZING!!! As a fairly organized and detail-​oriented person myself, I initially didn’t think that I would ever need a wedding planner, but it turns out that hiring Cortney to help me was one of the best decisions that I’ve ever made! Cortney was such a joy to work with and she really made the whole wedding planning process so much more manageable and enjoyable, for both my husband and I! Cortney is extremely reliable, organized, professional, responsive, knowledgeable, and dedicated to her clients. She is also the biggest sweetheart and is such a caring, thoughtful, positive, and genuine person. Cortney has the perfect balance of being very easy going and laid back, yet also highly efficient, enthusiastic, and hard working. She always made herself available to us and was excellent in communicating in the months leading up to the wedding, and she never tired of my endless (and pesky) emails and texts.
I had a pretty tight budget and Cortney was always very mindful and respectful of that, and found many clever ways to help cut costs to stay within our budget without sacrificing too much. She was also very dedicated to carrying out my vision, and she listened carefully to my ideas while also offering lots of honest advice, helpful tips, and creative suggestions that were right on point with my original vision. Cortney is also very well connected in the wedding industry, and she put me in touch (and helped negotiate very good contracts) with excellent vendors that I wouldn’t have found on my own. She alleviated so much of my stress in the hectic months before the wedding and she was always reassuring me that she would take care of everything-​and she absolutely did! I left so much up to her because I knew that no matter what, she would make sure everything was perfect, and it really was!
Cortney and her team did such an incredible job on the day of the wedding. From start to finish, Cortney worked seamlessly and nonstop behind the scenes, and yet she remained so calm, collected, and gracious. Everything ran so smoothly and beautifully! My husband and I had zero stress that day-​we were able to actually taste and enjoy our food (only because Cortney made us a plate and reminded us to eat), relax and drink our delicious hand-​crafted cocktails, and truly enjoy every moment of our wedding-​all because of Cortney. She went completely above and beyond in her role in every way possible. I cannot speak higher praise of Cortney and I absolutely recommend her to anyone planning a wedding! Thank you so much, Cortney!!!

Cortney was an amazing wedding planner! She was always very calm, organized and professional yet super fun and excited for the big day. After I hired her my stress level about the wedding pretty much disappeared. Leading up to the wedding, I’d ask her tons of random questions and she always got back to me and reassured me that everything was on track. She totally understood my vision for the wedding and 100% made it a reality. She added several special touches to the wedding and took care of a lot of «loose ends» so that I wouldn’t have to worry about it. Also, she was at the venue before anyone else was there and was the last one to leave. She’s so sweet and fun and cute– you actually WANT her to be at your wedding as a friend. My husband and I trusted her wholeheartedly and would recommend her to anyone! She’s the best.
