CES Weddings & Events

I recently worked along side Alisha is Redding, CA for a wedding out at Gover Ranch & as a professional DJ I must say that if there is anyone in the wedding industry that knows the importance of a good wedding planner & coordinator it is the DJ. At times I dread weddings that don’t have one, but it is such a breath of fresh air when not only there is a professional planner/​coordinator, but a really good one! Alisha was just that! She was incredibly organized & communicated throughout the entire processing making it a absolute delight to work with!

After going back and forth with whether or not we could budget for a day of wedding coordinator, we decided to go for it so we could truly enjoy our big day and I have to say it was the BEST decision we made! Alisha and Rachel were amazing in helping us make sure we had everything covered and made us feel like a king and queen on our wedding day! From setting up our entire reception décor more beautiful than we could’ve imagined, keeping everything and everyone on track throughout the evening and even making sure our drinks were full all night! Not many brides can say their wedding was perfect, but I can truly say ours was and there is nothing we would change! We credit much of this to CES and recommend them to anyone who truly wants to feel like a guest at their wedding and enjoy all of the hard work you put into planning it! If you’re considering a coordinator, go for it and hire CES to do it, you will be so happy you did!

This company is not that professional. I tried hiring them for my wedding and dod not get a response in a timely matter. Then after meeting with them and about to give them a deposit the owner decides to not do the wedding because she thinks she can’t communicate within a decent time. Least I didn’t pay her the ridiculous $ 2,000 she wanted. As a business owner myself I understand people get busy but I always get back to my clients if not right then at least that day. They are no longer doing my event and I’m more then happy to go hire a better more professional company for my one special day.

Jodi was an absolute Godsend!!! Hiring her and her team was the best decision we made throughout the entire wedding process! Every vendor Jodi recommended was totally on point. She pointed us in all the right directions when trying to find a balance between budget and making our dream wedding come true. Jodi has such a calming spirit and presence, she is exactly the woman you need by your side when you are a bride, not to mention how professional and efficient her team is. Admittedly, I am a picky perfectionist, and Jodi always handled my requests with professionalism and care. Not only is Jodi the BEST wedding planner she an even better person! I would recommend her and her team very highly to anyone in CA. Love you Jodi !

Jodi straight up ROCKS! We’re photographers/​videographers in Chico so we get the pleasure of hanging out with Jodi quite often! Every wedding we shoot with her is a breeze! We always look forward to working alongside of Jodi because we know it’ll be a well planned, smooth and stress-​free wedding. Jodi goes above and beyond for her couples, you can really tell she loves her work and will go the extra mile to over exceed everyone’s expectations!

Let me begin by saying that I have a really, really large and complicated family, a relatively large wedding party, a venue that handled pretty much nothing AND our wedding was largely DIY.
Jodi was, hands down, one of my top BEST vendor decisions for my wedding. She was beyond calm under pressure, handled a huge and complicated family with grace and ease and managed several small fires with such speed and calm that I didn’t even realize there were problems happening (as they tend to do during weddings!).
I’m extremely type A and detail oriented and she handled ME with grace as well, which can be a challenge :)
She answered all emails promptly and our in person meeting completely calmed and settled me as she asked questions and made arrangements for things that I didn’t even think about (and I thought of a lot).
She’s incredibly capable, sweetly firm and gets things handled. I honestly don’t know what I would have done without her. She was worth every single penny and more. Hire her. You will NOT regret it.

Jodi was our wedding coordinator for our May 11, 2013 wedding in Durham. I cannot begin to explain how grateful I was for her support in the days leading up to the wedding, and finally, the execution of the wedding day. My wedding was breathtakingly beautiful, and I know had I not hired Jodi, it would not have been so. Jodi was the best vendor decision I made during our wedding process.
She is super easy to get along with, super nice, and is ALWAYS step ahead. She helped alleviate my anxiety the day of our wedding, and was so calm and professional. Her staff and her did such an amazing job, don’t even think twice about hiring them! But do it well in advance, people this good get booked up quick!
Good luck brides… choose Jodi, you will be so glad you did!

Working with Jodi and CES was a complete joy! Right from the start, Jodi was personable yet professional and invested in our big day. She helped bring our concept to life by being a great listener and adding her creative touches and experience to the table. She knows many of the vendors in the area and has great relationships with them so they all work together so well. We didn’t live in Chico so whenever we came to town, Jodi was sure to make time to meet with us, which we really appreciated. She’s organized, timely, knowledgable, creative and fun! On our day, she was ON IT. She managed and worked with the other vendors, decorated, staged the venue, all while making sure we (bride & groom) were taken care of. She went above and beyond and we couldn’t have done it without her. Jodi and CES is a MUST when you’re planning your wedding — you’ll be so happy, and relieved, you chose them! — Corina & Jason

Jodi was my wedding planner for my June 1, 2013 wedding. Chico California is about 10 hours away from where I live.
Jodi started planning my wedding a year in advance, she helped with finding a venue, a caterer, a cake caterer, DJ, photographer, person who married us, and she helped keep our wedding around $ 15,000.00.
We were able to collect all of our vendors within a minimum number of trips to Chico.
The day of the wedding, she had everything on a schedule. It was perfect. The food was fantastic, the flowers were beautiful, the cake was exquisite. The DJ was awesome.
We received so many compliments from our guests and many people told us that our wedding was the best wedding they have ever attended and this is all because of Jodi.
Jodi knows how to make a good wedding happen!!!

I have worked with Jodi many times in the past and I have always enjoyed her friendly spirit and promptness in business. Jodi is such a fun person to work with and truly gets to know the intimate details of what a bride and groom want.
