Core Events

After the money spent on the dress, the venue, the reception, etc. — my mother and I really wondered if we absolutely needed «Day Of» support and if it was worth the cost. We shouldn’t have hesitated for a minute! The help we got from Rachel and Core Events was THE best money we spent for anything in the wedding planning.
We met with Rachel a couple times and reviewed our plans for the day. She was AMAZING — helping smooth out final details at the rehearsal, checking our sound system/​music selections, and providing suggestions for different ways to handle the various traditional elements.
The day of, while my mother and I had our hair and makeup done, she checked in at the reception venue and ensured the cake and flowers were delivered and set up properly and the banquet room was set up according to our specs. She also placed our favors, guest book, and other little personal touches we wanted at the reception. That sorted, she booked it over to our ceremony location and helped distribute programs, herded family members and the wedding party here and there so the photographer could get as many pre-​wedding family pics as possible.
While we stayed behind for photos, she headed to the reception and helped get our guests started on nibbles and cocktails, even cueing our playlist for each part of the reception. Once we arrived, she announced our arrival and got our first dance music going. All this on a day she wasn’t feeling too great! We are SO grateful to have had the help of someone so professional, organized, and reliable. Her help let us just relaxed, visit with family, and enjoy the day rather than running around and checking on vendors, set up and details. I cannot recommend Core Events highly enough to anyone planning a wedding or large scale event where you’d actually like to be able to enjoy the event and your guests.
