There truly aren’t enough words to express our gratitude for Courtney and the entire Cole Drake Events team. From the very first conversation, we knew we were in the best hands—Courtney’s warmth, expertise, and impeccable attention to detail made the entire planning process not only seamless but so much fun! Our wedding weekend was nothing short of magical, and that’s entirely because of Cole Drake. Every single detail—from our rehearsal dinner to the wedding day itself—was executed with such thoughtfulness and precision, allowing us to be fully present and soak in every moment. Their ability to bring our vision to life (and somehow make it even better than we could have imagined) was truly incredible. What sets Courtney and her team apart is not just their impeccable taste and professionalism, but the heart they pour into everything they do. I truly felt like Courtney was my fifth bridesmaid—always by my side, anticipating every need, and making sure I felt supported, calm, and taken care of every step of the way. She and her team handled every detail with such grace, ensuring that not only we, but our families and guests, had an unforgettable experience. I genuinely wish I had another wedding to plan just so I could work with Courtney and her team all over again. If you’re looking for a team that will not only create a stunning, perfectly executed event but will also bring an unmatched level of warmth, kindness, and joy to the process, Cole Drake Events is it. We will forever be grateful for them and the beautiful memories they helped create. Thank you, Courtney and team—you made our dream wedding a reality, and we couldn’t have done it without you!
I can’t say enough good things about Cole Drake! We worked with Emma who was responsive, supportive and incredibly knowledgeable. I can’t imagine what we would’ve done without her! They clearly care about the couples they work with and bring great attention to detail and passion to their work. 10/10 recommend!!
Professional and personal at the same time. This was the absolute best experience. I can't imagine not having Cole Drake as our wedding planner. We planned a large (170) person wedding in less than 8 months. We met every week and every detail was set, down to the minute. On the wedding weekend, there wasn't one issue that the mother of the bride had to think about. I felt just like a wedding guest! Stephanie, Makela and then the day of Courtney were incredible. I see other weddings where the family has to plan this and that and execute that task. We did absolutely nothing but enjoy our day. I Highly recommend!
Can’t say enough great things about Cole Drake events and Stephanie! I watched my sister transform from anxious and stressed about planning her wedding to completely calm “Bride-chilla” once Cole Drake came into the picture. Stephanie’s professionalism, work ethic and communication skills made it so easy to just relax and enjoy the process and most importantly, the wedding day! She orchestrated the most beautiful and flawless day that went off without a hitch. She worked hand in hand with vendors to make sure every detail was in place, and gave recommendations where needed. As a wedding photographer myself, I’ve been to many, many weddings and wish they could all run as smoothly and stress free as this one. As the matron of honor, I’ll be forever grateful that my baby sister got to have the wedding of her dreams and actually enjoy every part of it, because she knew Stephanie had it handled. That is priceless! Thank you, thank you!
Working with Cole Drake Events over the past year was absolutely incredible. They are a one-of-a-kind dream team. I started working with Stephanie a year in advance of our wedding. The first few weeks she helped us determine what we wanted out of our wedding day. She then helped us pick our venue and vendors. Cole Drake Events has incredible relationships with all of their vendors, so it was comforting to know we wouldn't go wrong with any of our decisions. Once all of that was determined we hit the ground running for the next year. Stephanie was incredibly patient since day one with not just me, but my family too. She understood there was a budget at hand and stayed within that amount, while still working towards my dream wedding day goals. Our wedding was absolutely perfect in my eyes and I owe all of that to Stephanie. She kept me calm, cool and collected. I was able to enjoy my entire wedding day and not worry about a thing. Stephanie truly made this process so fun. The hardest part was honestly saying goodbye to her and her team. If you are ever in need of an excellent event planner, without a single doubt, this is who you should choose!
