Courtney with After the Engagement was so amazing and helpful! She was always there for me especially when I needed her. Our wedding day was the most memorable and best day of our lives :) Courtney is the one to thank that it all went so well! She was so organized and made sure that the timeline of events went accordingly. All of the tools she provides from the vendor list to the timeline were so helpful. She was so great with timely responses to our questions and concerns. We loved her! Thank you Courtney for an awesome day! even with the rain :)

Courtney is AMAZING!!! I'm definitely a very detail oriented type of person and it's hard for me to let go of doing things myself however, I was completely confident in Courtney!! The day of the wedding I let Courtney handle everything and she exceeded all my expectations. She is super responsive and replies to all my e-mail questions within minutes or same day. Courtney even helped me with selecting a new DJ one month before my wedding when I decided I didn't like my original DJ vendor. We also used the photobooth services which was fun for our guests! Hire Courtney and you will be able to enjoy your day! In fact my last words to Courtney from the limo was - Did everything just go as planned? I couldn't believe nothing went wrong!

Hiring Courtney was one of the best decisions that we made for our wedding. It would have been a whole different event (bad!) had she not been there helping us. Her help and guidance leading up to the wedding and the day of was absolutely invaluable. Every time I had any questions or ideas beforehand she always was quick to reply with reassurance or great suggestions. My husband and I were utterly clueless when it comes to weddings so with the rehearsal and the wedding itself we could always look to her to see what to do next so everything ran smoothly. She is like a wedding planning ninja, it's awesome. We were so impressed with how she's always running around making sure everything is perfect but you almost never saw her until she seemed to pop up out of nowhere and remind you its cake cutting time in ten minutes and here's how you do it. She totally gets it. She's such a cool woman and so easy to work with and get along with. It felt like we'd hired a friend we'd known forever. Most importantly, she's damn good at her job. Every little detail, every little thing you didn't even think of, she's on top of it. I can't praise her enough, she's the best!

Courtney did a fantastic job running the rehearsal and the wedding day! Having a day-of planner took most of the stress of the day away and Courtney executed everything perfectly. My husband and I agree that having Courtney was the best money we spent for the wedding!

I immediately knew I wanted to work with Courtney after we met, because she displayed a confidence in her abilities but was also laid back and relaxed at the same time. I knew she would be easy to work with and she was. I hired her for the day of package but she was always available via email/phone, which was so nice. I had some very difficult situations in my wedding, including issues with other vendors and hiccups with the bridal party. Courtney helped keep me sane throughout the event and minimized the impact of the issues so that we still had a great event. My main regret is that I chose to use Courtney just for the day of planning and I wish I had hired her for more, so that I would have had a flawless event. I was operating on a tight budget and thought I could handle it all. Spending some more money on Courtney to have her plan at a higher level would have been worth it. Finally, Courtney helped me deal with some difficult vendors after the wedding, who did not follow through on the services they promised and she was extremely helpful. I appreciate how loyal she is to her brides and she clearly is just a very nice and caring person who cares deeply about her events and the couples with whom she choose to work.

After the Engagement provided me with the ultimate level of service. Every time I emailed them, Courtney Tibbets would respond within a matter of minutes, she is amazing! I live in Los Angeles and was planning a wedding in San Diego so I needed recommendations for nearly every vendor. After the Engagement was able to provide me with excellent vendor recommendations and some vendors even gave me a special discount because I was referred by After the Engagement. Courtney Tibbets has a great reputation in the wedding industry and I can definitely see why. I would recommend After the Engagement to anyone planning a wedding. There are many different packages to choose from that will fit your budget. I hired them for "day of" coordinating but I got so much more than that. Courtney helped me throughout my entire 10 month planning period and always acted very happy to help me and give me her advice. I would have been lost without her. Three weeks before my wedding my sister and I drove down to San Diego to meet with Courtney and our caterer and florist. I was feeling very unsettled as we drove down there because it was mind baffling to me how everything was going to come together. After meeting with Courtney all my doubts were put to rest. My sister and I both said she was our fairy godmother. I wish I could get married all over again just to work with After the Engagement again, but my dad and my husband would kill me ;)

Courtney is an excellent wedding coordinator. She is super-duper fast to respond to emails and offers very good advice when you need it, and since we planned our wedding from out of town this made our jobs a lot easier. Her recommendations for vendors turned out very good and they were also very affordable. On our actual wedding day, we gave her everything to set up for the ceremony and the reception and this was done flawlessly. Additionally she did a good job of directing people on our actual day. She also cleaned up EVERYTHING after the wedding and gave us back the stuff we asked her to, packed it up very nicely, and had it sitting in our room when we came up. We have nothing but good things to say about her and you won't be disappointed if you hire her.

I wish there was an option to give 100 stars here because Courtney made our wedding day AMAZING. It was a blast, everything looked beautiful and was perfect - it was the most fun night of our lives! If it was not for Courtney, there is no way everything would have gone the way it did - it was seamless and fantastic and I did not have to worry about anything because Courtney had everything covered.If you are planning a wedding, hiring Courtney is the best decision you will make!

Hiring Courtney was, hands down, the best decision I made while planning my wedding. For over a year, she answered my emails no longer than 2 hours after I sent them, gave advice, put together inspiration boards, found vendors, put together a budget and so much more! We had a pretty challenging venue, and Courtney fought for us to get what we had envisioned. She always had what we wanted in mind. On top of Courtney's professional work, she was also sweet, funny and did an amazing job of keeping my mind at ease. I wasn't nervous, at all, about our day going smoothly (and it was perfect!). If you want a professional, talented, kind, hard working and dedicated wedding coordinator, I highly recommend you hire Courtney. It'll be the best decision you will make!

We used the photobooth for our wedding reception and I cannot say enough about it! It was the best decision that we made. The booth attendant, Jasper, was awesome. Everyone said he was a lot of fun and great at getting people into the booth. The guestbook was given to us at the end of the night and I LOVED reading it the morning after our wedding. What a fun way to remember all of our guests. Courtney was awesome throughout the whole planning process. Very good at responding, very professional and always seems to have a smile on her face. Thank you so much for providing us with great memories we will always treasure!!

My wedding day was one of the happiest days of my life. And it couldn't be possible without Courtney of After the Engagement. One of the biggest reasons I booked her as my wedding planner was her quickness in responding to my questions, emails, or calls. Even if it was just to say she would reply back later with more details later. In our first meeting, I thought I was being slick by showing up early so I could scope her out but she already beat me to it and was waiting for me! Courtney is easy to talk to and I always felt like she understood my side. I could easily rant on the ups and downs of wedding decisions or wedding drama and she was there to pick me up. It was a true blessing to have her by my side. Then on the wedding day itself, everything went so smoothly and she was on top of EVERYTHING. Her assistant was friendly and helpful as well. We also decided to go with her Photo Booth package and MAN was that a hit! Everyone LOVED it. I have a pretty fantastic scrapbook because of those pictures. It was definitely a plus that her husband operated and helped out with that. I felt surrounded by love on my wedding day and it was a nice coinkidink that 3 of our vendors were husband and wife teams. I recommend Courtney and After the Engagement for your wedding planning and Photo Booth needs 100%.

Courtney is exceptionally good at what she does. I planned my wedding in about 6 months and did most of the planning myself. I met with Courtney about 3 months into the process and she answered every question I had. For the rest of the planning process, she made me feel so much more comfortable when something came up that I was unsure about. She helped evaluate proposals and found me better companies/prices on vendors such as chair rentals and our DJ. We communicated mostly through email and every email I sent was responded to almost immediately. As the day got closer and more and more details had to be attended to, Courtney was there every moment. She contacted vendors, confirmed timing, and created the day of timeline. On our wedding day, it seemed like she was right where we needed her at every moment. I didn't worry about a thing that day and everything turned out perfectly. She always had a smile and her confidence and personality were calming and effective. We also used her photo booth, which was a hit and very professional "manned" by Jasper. Like every big event, there were one or two glitches, but she handled them professionally and I didn't worry about a thing or notice a thing while it was happening. We would hands-down recommend her as a fabulous wedding/event coordinator for any big day you are trying to plan. Hopefully, we'll have a reason to use her services again soon!

Courtney Tibbets and her husband provided us with amazing, prompt, and consistent customer service for months as we planned our wedding, and our photobooth rental was a total hit at our reception! They were professional, on time, friendly, and very accommodating!! SO fun! I cannot recommend them enough! Our guests LOVED the photobooth and we totally appreciate having the guestbook that was included in our 3 hour package -- absolutely worth it and part of the fun!!

Spectacular! Amazing! Fairy God Mother! I can not stress enough how fantastic this woman is. I could not have ever imagined a wedding better, more perfect than the one we had because of Courtney. We planned the wedding from out of state and every step of the way Courtney was there to answer any questions, no matter how big or small, no matter what time of the day or night. Every vendor that she recommended not only was professional, right on point with our budget, but was outstanding. Our family and friends came from 4 different states, were all different ages and all said that it was the best wedding they have ever been to. This is all because of Courtney. Our wedding fell on the first big winter storm this year for San Diego. Huge rainfall, and our wedding...was on the BEACH! Courtney organized our getting a tent at the last minute so that we could still have the wedding we imagined. She kept me calm and I KNEW that everything would be fine because she was there. She will not let you down. Not possible. I put all my faith in her and could not be happier.

Courtney is the greatest wedding coordinator I've ever come in contact with, and I'm not just saying that because I love her to death. She treated me as a friend she'd known for years from the very beginning and made my day stress free and provided me with confidence and great advice. She even fixed my dress!!!! She's one of a kind, and proud to say, a agreat friend :)

Quality of Service: It felt like everything went perfect. She was helpful in everything I was oblivious to about weddings. I am so glad she was there to help! Responsiveness: She was very quick to reply to my emails and emailing frequently when necessary.Professionalism: She was very organized and thorough helping setting up the ceremony and reception. She made my wedding flow smoothly. I am a shy person, but it felt easy working with Courtney. Value for Cost: My fiancee specifically told me how much he thought having Courtney as our planner was worth it. Everybody agreed that she was worth it.Flexibility: She was flexible and patient when I got super busy with school/work/wedding stuff, I was able to email her all my wedding details later than we originally planned, which helped me during that stressful time.

We really couldn't have had such an amazing night without Courtney... she was so on top of things on the 'day of' + was always quick to respond to questions before the wedding. She's also just a really nice person who's fun and pleasant to be around. Thanks so much for everything!!

Courtney was amazing. She found the solution to everything, and was so creative making our wedding very unique and special. Our venue did not allow for open flame, so instead of the unity candle ceremony (which I was freaking out that we couldn't do), Courtney did some research and found something called a Love/wine box ceremony, and she even preformed the ceremony for us! It was perfect! We also had her photo booth there, which everyone LOVED. She really was able to handle everything, she did it all for us! We totally loved her, she fit right in. She does a great job of making everyone feel comfortable & I didn't have to worry or stress about a thing. I would recommend her to everyone!!! Thank you Courtney, you really made all the difference!
