Composure Events -

Vora

Planning a wedding was not fun until we booked with Cori at Composure Events. Before booking, I was stressed and felt alone; It was especially rough since we were an out-of-state couple and didn't know where to start, it was so overwhelming. COMPOSURE EVENTS SAVED US!

Composure Events was the first vendor we booked and I am SO happy that we did. We booked their partial planning package because we needed a dedicated and knowledgeable planning partner.

Cori and her team have made the entire wedding planning process fun, painless, and they have fought for us when we needed it most. We planned our event for 18 months with the most helpful guidance. If you're looking for a team who will put you first, I will always recommend Cori from Composure Events. When you book with Cori, you’re booking her extensive knowledge in the industry, an incredibly top-notch experience that is organized and tailor-fitted to your needs, and her refined taste and artistry, which is an ability that will help you weigh decisions.

Cori made sure that our extra-long wedding day (almost 13 hours) went by without a hitch. She seamlessly coordinated our multiple wedding-related events in an extremely detail-oriented and organized manner. She was not only our planner, but our dear friend. Meeting with Cori was always the highlight of our month. Anyone who Cori recommended as a vendor was top of the line and trustworthy, but I also found some of my own vendors who were amazing too; they all worked well together thanks to Cori’s attention to detail and organization.

Our family and friends noted how beautiful and fun our wedding was and I always attribute it to Cori and her team. If you want to enjoy your wedding day, please do yourself a favor and book her IMMEDIATELY!! Thank you so much Cori, you’re the best planner in the world and we love you! Anyone who books with Cori and her team will never be disappointed!

WOW. I do not even know how explain how wonderful it was to work with Composure Events for our wedding. We specifically worked with Cori and booked the Fully Composed package to have full-service planning from start to finish, and we have zero regrets. Cori and her team are professional, organized, enthusiastic, and creative. I felt at ease and stress-free throughout the entire planning process. I never had questions about what we needed to do next or what vendors we should book for the best experience, because Cori always had it handled with the best ideas, and organized timeline, and trusted vendor recommendations. Every vendor she recommended delivered exactly how she said they would. We were so pleased!! Not only did Cori help our special day come together so seamlessly, she doubled as our moral support, friend, and sounding board. Especially the day of the wedding, she was always there with a shout wipe, lip gloss, Advil, a hug, or a drink of course 🙂 An honorable mention was the night of our rehearsal dinner, it rained and we were having an outdoor garden party. Rain was not in the forecast, so we did not have a tent. Cori ran to the Dollar Tree and rushed back with as many umbrellas as she could find. She was always there to save the day! Our design came together so beautifully. Cori and her team brought our Pinterest board to life, and even better than we could have imagined. Composure Events has an eye for high quality material and cares about every detail. Overall, we could not have chosen a better team for our wedding planning process and we would recommend Composure Events to anyone and everyone.

Words cannot describe how amazing Cori is. She made my dream wedding come true and made the wedding planning process seamless and stress-free. My seamstress would tell me I was such a chill bride, and I owe it all to Cori.

We started planning in January 2024 and our wedding was July 2024. Though it was a shorter-than-normal time frame, no details were left out. We were lucky enough to have the full planning package, so Cori and her expertise were at our disposal. Every meeting was detailed, yet efficient. If I wasn't on track with a task, she would kindly follow up. She made sure all vendors knew the details and would always keep me looped in.

She never pressured us to go beyond our hoped for budget, and always reassured that no matter what we did, she would make sure it was perfect. She provided great advice and was a great confidant when I needed it most.

She also has the best selection of preferred vendors around the Kansas City area, some of which come with discounts because of the partnership. Our wedding was at the Loews Kansas City, and we we're also out-of-state.

The day of, she was always by my side making sure I was ok and that I had what I needed (drinks, makeup, etc). Her team day of was also extremely professional and made sure nothing went wrong, and if it did, I didn't know about it.

Cori is extremely knowledgeable in the wedding industry and always made sure we had the best time from the first meeting til the big day. I highly recommend Cori and Composure Events for your wedding planning needs.

If you’re looking for a wedding planning company in KC, look no further than Composure! We worked with Cori personally for over a year, and she customized a package that perfectly suited our needs for an intimate modern wedding in KC. She was so helpful and knowledgeable as she assisted us with booking vendors, kept us on track with action items each month and answered all of our questions along the way. Two months out from the wedding, we transitioned to Sarah as our coordinator, and she was phenomenal in executing a flawless wedding day for us. She and her team took care of everything from setup to takedown and everything in between, allowing us to enjoy the day stress-free! Throughout our almost two-year engagement, we felt we were in great hands the entire time. We truly don’t know what we would have done without Composure, and we can’t recommend them enough! Thank you, Cori & Sarah, for everything!

As a wedding photographer with years of experience, collaborating with Composure Events, and specifically working alongside Sarah, has been an absolute pleasure. This luxury wedding planning service is a true maestro in orchestrating seamless, sophisticated, and unforgettable celebrations.

From the initial consultation to the last dance, Composure Events exudes a level of professionalism and attention to detail that sets them apart in the realm of luxury wedding planning. Sarah, as a member of their team, stands out as a true asset with her unwavering composure, creative insight, and a dedication to ensuring that every moment is nothing short of perfection.

What struck me most about working with Composure Events is their ability to turn dreams into reality. The team, led by Sarah's expert guidance, takes the time to understand the couple's vision, infusing each element of the celebration with a unique and personalized touch. From opulent ballrooms to intimate garden affairs, Composure Events has a knack for transforming diverse venues into enchanting landscapes that tell a couple's love story with sophistication and grace.

We came to Composure initially drawn by their “TheModern” package – something that allowed us to have someone alongside us for our entire engagement, but that still left the vendor discussions and decisions in our hands (which I liked). They also had great options for folks who just wanted a coordinator closer to the day of, OR on the other end of the spectrum having more full “white-glove” planning services, but this middle package was exactly right for us and something we didn’t really see at the other planners we looked into.

From our first conversation, my husband and I were amazed by how easy it was to talk to Sarah, how many tools Composure had at the ready to guide us through the process, month-by-month, from start to finish, and how thorough and candid she and Cori were in responding to all of our initial questions. That made it an easy choice from the start, and every meeting, e-mail, and sidebar text I had with Sarah from that point on reinforced our choice. (Not to mention the automated “helpful tip” e-mails that would come to us from Composure every so often, timed based on our date – such a nice touch!)

It was evident every time we met that Sarah had so much knowledge not just about the industry in general but about the vendors in the KC area specifically – it felt like the suggestions she made for our vendors were really tailored not only to our preferences and price ranges, but also to our personalities, which was so massive for this very awkward and unprepared bride. Not only that, but she also had great advice and tons of past experiences to draw on when we had questions about etiquette or how to handle certain situations – and we had plenty of those! Her eye for design when pulling together our rentals and other little details was also immaculate… I am hopeless when it comes to décor/design so I needed all the help I could get, and she was so patient with me every time I sat and stared for a while – “buffered”, if you will – at a small design element she was showing me.

When everything came together on the day of… wow. I literally can’t even stand how perfect it was. It was the most seamless day from start to finish. I remember feeling the night before like I knew every individual piece would be great on its own, but was uneasy about how it would look when it was all put together… and as soon as I saw it all I couldn’t imagine why I had ever felt like that. It was like, where any “vision” I had of my day was blurry beforehand, or fragmented or altogether not there, suddenly there it was. It was cozy, and dreamy, and moody, and somehow felt intimate without being at all stuffy or crowded. And I would have never thought to pull all of those things together the way we did – not without Sarah’s patience, advice, gentle reminders, and support along the way. It was a long year planning for us, not without stress, but I know 100% that I would have had an absolute mental breakdown if we didn’t have her by our side.

I’ll wrap this review up by just saying, brides and grooms – if you’re looking for someone who will guide you through the wedding planning process leading up to your big day (occasionally over a flight of beer), and who will work to swiftly remove any potential stressors ON your big day (occasionally by appearing out of nowhere with a glass of prosecco), AND who is just a joy to be around – Sarah is your gal, Composure is your team. We (and our families) can’t say enough how wonderful it was to work with them.

We had a great experience with Sarah from Composure! She was so helpful throughout the entire wedding process and 100% present and taking on all that came to her day of. Not having to worry about a single detail the weekend of my wedding felt great!

I'll start this by saying the only time I cried on my wedding day was saying goodbye to Cori at the end of the night. Simply put, she made our day absolutely perfect and it could not have been done without her. I booked Composure Events a little over a year out from our wedding after realizing I was totally in over my head planning such an important event out of state. After researching multiple planners, Cori and the Composure team easily stood out among the rest. We booked the Modern package and Cori immediately began meeting with me monthly, all the way up to our wedding. Most partial planning only jumps in to help 6 months out or less, so having meetings with Cori for 14 months was above and beyond and truly reflects how Composure does things. Cori and her team handled every. single. detail. for both our rehearsal dinner and wedding day, enabling my husband and I, our families, the bridal party, and every guest to simply show up and have fun. I wasn't stressed one bit leading up to our wedding day, simply because I knew Cori had it handled. From putting our bags in our suite to grabbing a family heirloom I forgot, Composure had it covered. I can't express how thankful I am for that, as it truly allowed us to enjoy such an important day and not worry about small details. At the end of it all, not one thing went wrong and the night was perfect - a true testament to Cori and Composure. Finally, I have to mention how much fun I had working with Cori. She is kind and thoughtful while also completely organized and ready to tackle any hurdle wedding planning can throw. Her suggestions were always tasteful and on point for our wedding vibe and I truly felt she was a perfect match for our vision. Composure is simply the best and I would tell every KC bride to book with Cori and her team over and over again!
