OUR STORY
The Foundation of Cord and Court’s
Est. 2015
Every great journey begins with a story, and ours began with a prayer. Long before our vision took its professional form, we united our dreams and sought guidance from the Lord to build a business where we could serve others with our God-given gifts. We envisioned a brand where our individual passions for heartfelt service, strategic guidance, and logistical planning could converge as a true reflection of our hearts. Cord and Court's is the beautiful answer to those prayers.
As co-founders and a husband-and-wife duo, our strengths are divinely matched: Courtney’s mastery of expert coordination, meticulous planning, and logistics, paired with Cordarial’s executive leadership in event operations and hospitality. Together, we found our purpose in guiding hands-on couples and perfecting the final chapters of the wedding planning journey across Southeast Louisiana—from New Orleans and Baton Rouge to the Northshore—through integrity, a heart for service, and a Spirit of Excellence.
Our faith is the heartbeat of our business. We believe that every detail matters because every moment is a gift. Whether we are providing ongoing planning support or executing on event day, we do everything for the Lord and for the Glory of God (Colossians 3:17, 23; 1 Corinthians 10:31). Partnering with us means trusting a team that views your celebration as a sacred legacy.
Our mission is to ensure your day is flawless, allowing you to stand in the presence of God and your loved ones with a heart full of peace and a spirit of joy. We remain dedicated to the simple, profound mission that started it all: "Bringing you a joyous smile for your joyous occasion."
MEET US

Courtney Z.
Co-Founder
Lead Wedding Planner
As the Co-Founder and Lead Planner of Cord and Court’s, LLC, I believe every traditional bride deserves a wedding day that feels as timeless as her love story. My mission is to bridge the gap between a beautifully planned vision and a seamless reality. With a deep reverence for the grace of tradition and a mastery of meticulous logistics, I specialize in perfecting the final, most crucial chapters of the wedding journey for couples across Southeast Louisiana—including Baton Rouge, New Orleans, and the Northshore. I believe that the most meaningful experiences are defined by the art of the finished detail—the intentional touches and quiet care that allow you to simply cherish the joy of your legacy. Operating with a Spirit of Excellence and a heart for service, I am dedicated to providing a distinguished, high-end experience rooted in uncompromising quality. I ensure your investment results in nothing less than a perfect masterpiece. It is my honor to steward your vision, protect your legacy, and perfect your day.
BEYOND THE LOGISTICS:My faith and family are what drive me. When I am not orchestrating a wedding day, I am likely leading worship at my church or enjoying life with my husband and daughter. Whether I am leading a song or perfecting a timeline, I believe in the power of a joyful, well-lived moment.

Cordarial Z.
Co-Founder
Director of Event Operations
As the Co-Founder and Director of Event Operations for Cord and Court's, LLC, I believe a truly distinguished wedding relies on seamless execution, calm leadership, and exceptional hospitality. My mission is to support our couples and elevate their celebration through dedicated operational leadership across Southeast Louisiana—from New Orleans and Baton Rouge to the Northshore. Working alongside Courtney, I focus on key operations that give our couples complete peace of mind. When supporting on-site operations, I bring a calm, reassuring presence to the groom’s suite—assisting with boutonnieres, ties, and pre-ceremony prep—while overseeing setup management and delivering warm, polished hospitality to your guests. It is my honor to support your celebration, protect your peace of mind, and serve with excellence.
BEYOND THE OPERATIONS: My faith and family are my foundation. When I am not supporting wedding day execution, I'm serving as a Youth Pastor, fishing, or cheering on my favorite SEC football team with my wife and daughter. Whether I am leading a ministry or serving our clients, I believe in honoring the values that matter most.
