With over 300 events (and counting!) under our belts, our expertise is finely honed. For many years, CRE focused on planning and coordination, working behind the scenes. Now, we also offer rentals and custom products.

For the bride who loves to dream, design, and do, our décor company offers the perfect balance of inspiration and support. We provide customizable rentals, stylish essentials, and creative guidance so DIY brides and planners can bring their vision to life without the stress. Whether it’s organizing vendors, creating personalized signage, or adding those personalized finishing touches, we’re here to make sure your big day feels beautifully yours—crafted by hand, but elevated with professional flair.
