Courtney + Devin: The Planner

ClarksvilleBrides.com Featured Wedding: Courtney + Devin

Courtney and Devin hired Every Detail Events by Amber to be their planner. "Courtney & Devin's wedding day was beautiful! You could see the love between them! Courtney did an amazing job on her decorations! The James E. Bruce Convention Center did an amazing job of setting up the tables and draping throughout along with the food. We put the finishing touches on that day which included the Message in a Bottle table, gift table, guest book table, mason jars and flowers in the ceremony area and the cocktail hour decorations. We actually ran ahead of schedule after the ceremony which was great because everyone got to really enjoy the cocktail hour and reception! The day went very smoothly other than the 1 hiccup of missing vows! But it all worked out beautifully in the end! It was a great day and I really enjoyed being apart of Courtney and Devin's wedding!" -Amber Hoard, Every Detail Events by Amber

We've posted a NEW featured wedding, highlighting Courtney and Devin's wedding day! Courtney and Devin hired Cavallini Photography to photograph their wedding day. "Courtney was a joy to work with from the beginning - very sweet and easy to talk to, and I just knew we were going to get along great right from the beginning. Courtney and Devin are so fabulous together because one of them is seriously making the other laugh at least every five minutes. They are genuinely in love and made for one another. There were so many parts of their day that had significance...Courtney and her family put so much of themselves into their day that everything about it was special. I loved that there was just a sense of joy and happiness radiating from everyone there, from the beginning of the day, all the way through the energetic reception. Best wishes Courtney & Devin!
