Cortney Helaine
I was on my way to a career in the medical field when some friends got married. They did not have a big budget, in fact just the opposite. I was 19 and I volunteered to help them. I got more enjoyment over finding inexpensive favors than anything I had done in the medical field. Imagine how much fun would be an integral part of a person’s happiest day. So, I promptly changed my focus and began my studies in earnest, beginning with my degree in Hospitality and Tourism Management with an emphasis in meetings and events at San Diego State. I also have bridal consultant certificates with Penn Foster, ABC (Association of Bridal Consultants) Certified Bridal Consultant, and Best of Wedding Wire and The Knot just to name a few.
Fast forward to 2020, I have now been in business for over ten years. I have worked with hundreds of clients, 17 specialty certifications; I am so blessed! I can’t wait to see what the next ten years brings and can’t wait to create new and unique wedding day experiences for all of our couples to come. My favorite part of the wedding planning experience, still to this day, is helping to create a new and creative experience for guests and the couple. I love making each wedding day custom for every couple. I want guests to walk in and say, “WOW, this really does look like {the couples} perfect day.” Making a wedding everything you dreamed of is what I am here to do and along the way, I hope to make it an easy and stress-free experience.
I can honestly say, I love what I do.

MEET MY BEAU
We met in a parking lot off a crowded Southern California freeway on Valentine’s Day. I admit it was a Craigslist shelter hook-up, and I was a little nervous at first, so I brought some girlfriends with me to be sure. But there he was, all cute and fluffy… it was love at first sight. Who can resist that face?
OH MY, JAMESON
Jameson’s the epitome of a gentle giant! There is no foe to our sweet boy, except maybe every tennis ball in Orange County. He’s 100 pounds of nothing but harmless… unless you’re maybe his dog food.
