About Cole Drake Events
Cole Drake Events
We are a dynamic team of planners in Wine Country with a combined experience of more than 20 years of wedding & event design/production, restaurant, and hotel management. We are professed foodies with a penchant for using sarcasm and humor to navigate the planning process. Surrounded by the most inspiring vistas (in our humble opinion), the best cuisine (well-known fact), and the most creative people (they are nutty artisans who have more fun than should be legal) we deliver exquisite events and experiences that are keenly focused on alluring your five senses.
Our core philosophy is more is just more…it’s NOT better. Overdoing anything from food to event design is just overwhelming. Keeping things authentic to who you are as a couple is key. We focus on creating a sensory story within your event, showcasing your story, your life, and your vision, in a simply beautiful, inventive (and stress-free) way.

Wedding Planning Magic
We worked with Cole Drake Events, specifically Courtney Bailey, and she was absolutely incredible. From the very beginning, Courtney was organized, professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely easy to work with. She respected our budget while still delivering a wedding that felt thoughtful, seamless, and beautifully executed. Courtney immediately understood our vision and brought it to life across every event—from our tea ceremony (taking the time to learn the customs), to our welcome party, and of course our wedding day. Her expertise and passion made everything feel effortless. People say weddings can be chaotic and that couples don’t always get to enjoy their day—but thanks to Courtney and the Cole Drake Events team, that couldn’t have been further from our experience. Everything was handled from start to finish, allowing me to truly be present, spend time with friends and family, and simply enjoy being married. I am still obsessing over how perfect everything was. I trust Courtney completely, and after this experience, I feel incredibly lucky to have gained not just an amazing planner, but a lifelong friend. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
