The inspiration behind Cortes Events came from Maria Cortes, who recognized the need for a modern and socially integrated photo booth experience. Dissatisfied with the existing options that appeared outdated and lacked social media integration, Maria embarked on a mission to find the perfect booth for the current generation. After an extensive search, she discovered a contemporary and social-media ready photo booth capable of capturing high-quality DSLR photos and accommodating up to 10 people.

Cortes Events' primary goal is to provide a "wow factor" to events through the use of industry-leading technology and top-notch customer service. Their offerings, which include booths, photography services, decorations, and rental supplies, have gained popularity and are now being embraced for weddings, parties, and corporate events across the nation.

In summary, Cortes Events stands out as a pioneering company that brings together modern technology, innovative concepts, and creative event planning to deliver memorable and engaging experiences for a wide range of events and occasions.

 

 

"Our story began when my husband and I came together with a shared dream – to create a business that marries our distinct passions. I've always had an affinity for capturing life's most beautiful moments through photography and creating unforgettable event experiences. On the other hand, my husband's fascination with dumpsters and trucks revealed an unexpected opportunity. And then, like a spark, the idea struck us – why not combine our loves into a single, all-encompassing company?

As we delved deeper into the concept, we realized the potential to offer the public a remarkable range of services. From capturing cherished memories in photographs to efficiently managing waste, we saw the chance to provide convenience, quality, and creativity under one roof. Our enthusiasm grew as we envisioned weddings, celebrations, and projects benefiting from our combined expertise.

With our skills complementing each other perfectly, we embarked on this journey hand in hand. While I pour my heart into creating timeless memories, my husband's dedication ensures that even waste management becomes a streamlined and effective process. Our business isn't just about providing services; it's about weaving our passions into the fabric of every event and project we touch.

So, here we are, turning a seemingly unusual pairing into a business that promises to be anything but ordinary. Our journey is a testament to the power of following our passions and embracing innovative ideas. We can't wait to share our dedication, creativity, and enthusiasm with you – making every moment and every project truly extraordinary."
