We highly recommend hiring Cera Singley Events for any of your wedding planning/day-of coordinating needs. We hired her as a wedding planner for our wedding. She is a professional ...
master of her craft, and her years of experience shine through in every interaction. Cera's expertise was an incredible asset as she expertly wrangled all our vendors, ensuring everyone was on the same page and that their roles and responsibilities were clearly defined. She created order and clarity, allowing us to truly enjoy our special day with no interruptions and clueless of any hiccups.
Cera possesses a wonderful eye for decor, and she effortlessly envisioned the perfect floor plan and decor concept for our event. What sets her apart is her knowledge as a florist and handy crafter and her keen awareness of budgetary needs. She taps into these skills to provide invaluable guidance, helping us identify exactly what decor projects could be successful DIY endeavors and which needed to be handled by a professional vendor. This saved us both stress and money. If you’re feeling unsure about your vision, Cera is also a very creative and the perfect guide throughout the wedding planning. For example, I wasn’t sure if I wanted a traditional bouquet, and Cera came to me with a plethora of innovative ideas to replace the traditional bouquet concept.
Throughout the entire process, Cera’s dedication to us was evident. She is both collaborative and receptive of all feedback. She is deeply passionate about weddings and works tirelessly to ensure her clients' vision is matched perfectly. While she provides strong ideas, guidance, and direction, she’s also very open to receiving feedback and changing approaches as needed—it was a true partnership.
Her communication was comprehensive, professional, timely, and consistent. Cera was early for all our virtual meetings, took all the detailed notes, and then followed up immediately with a clear to-do list for both of us to complete before our next check-in. As we approached the wedding week, her communication with all the vendors was professional, direct, and crystal clear, leaving no room for confusion.
Cera’s most vital trait is that she is a proactive planner, always one step ahead of any potential issue, which resulted in an easy, seamless, and enjoyable wedding day. A perfect example of this happened the week of the wedding: Cera proactively created a backup floor plan in case we had to move our outdoor ceremony and reception inside due to weather. When we inevitably had to make that last-minute change, she had already sent the floorplan and necessary details to all the vendors, so there was no issue whatsoever with the change. We moved inside without a hitch, and it was perfect.
We recommend Cera without hesitation to any couple looking for an experienced, creative, and proactive planner who will manage your day flawlessly.
Cera was an absolute joy to work with! She is THE BEST in the business as she went above and beyond to make sure all our needs and more were met! As a referral from our friends, w...
e saw the kind of work Cera and her team did and knew that we wanted her for our wedding as soon as we figured out a date! Cera was with us each step of the way, giving us suggestions, and keeping us organized with all our vendors! The timeline she put together, the prompt communication with us, and making sure the hotel had all the details, made everything run seamlessly! We HIGHLY recommend booking Cera for planning and coordinating your next wedding as she was very easy to work with, had great attention to detail and at the end of the day got everyone and everything where it needed to be! She also had great resources for last minute vendors due to some vendor changes! She was able to keep me calm throughout the wedding planning process and because of her and her team, I was able to be fully engaged and present at my wedding without any worry! Thank you so so much Cera! <3
Cera and her team were constantly going above and beyond for us. She ensured that every idea we had going into the planning process was made a reality on our big day. I HIGHLY reco...

hout the night friends and family would come up to me to rave about her and how on top of everything she was. Bobby pins, safety pins...fishing wire to hang our tree garland, girl had it all. One of our guests had a wardrobe malfunction and Cera was there to provide her with a sewing kit. Even the event coordinator at the venue raved about her. We seriously could not have asked for a more competent, professional, and lovely human being to work with. Would hire again in a heartbeat. At the end of the night Cera even gathered all of our things and brought them to our home so we wouldn't have to worry about them after making our exit. She even included extra piece of cake for us to enjoy. Cera literally thinks of EVERY detail. Thank you, Cera for the wedding of our dreams and all of your incredible ideas and hard work. We love you!
It was an absolute pleasure and joy to work with Cera! She is amazing!
Cera helped plan our wedding twice after our original venue was impacted by severe flooding causing it to ca...
ncel all weddings. It was a stressful time and she helped keep us grounded. Thanks to her help we were able to find an alternative venue quickly and we kept our original wedding date and most of our booked vendors.
Cera is thoughtful, dependable, responsive, and fun! She organized our wedding beautifully and provided great design. Cera helped us figure out and execute our vision. We feel lucky to have found Cera!
Cera was a delight to work with! Given the cercumstances she was dealt with a last minute act of Mother Nature detouring her client to a new venue she handled every aspect with eas...
e making the couple feel like everything was handled. She didn't skip a beat! We would be excited to have her back to work with us again!

tz watching Cera and her team work, kicking ass and taking names.
Cera was the greatest thing to ever happen to our wedding! From the first phone call, I knew this was a match made in heaven. She was just excited as I was about the wedding! I was...
one of those brides that kind of knew what we wanted, but had no idea how to execute. I gave her one picture off of Pinterest and she ran with it. She had all of these wonderful ideas that I just loved. She helped us along every step of the way with our budget sheet, her awesome organizational skills, and her creative mind to turn our dreams into reality. She found us the best vendors and was always available for questions. We could tell she was so passionate about making our wedding the best it could be. Our day turned out PERFECT. Every detail I had dreamed of was at our wedding. It was all so beautiful that I am still in awe! The entire day went so smoothly, too. We knew Cera and her team were working diligently in the background which helped us be so relaxed and we enjoyed our day to the fullest. We are so sad it is all over because we will miss having the check ins with Cera and seeing her for site visits! She truly is a wonderful person inside and out. We HIGHLY recommend Cera Singley Events for all wedding and event planning activities. Thanks for everything!! :)
I highly recommend Cera and her team for your wedding or special occasion! She was extremely helpful, present, available, and in-tune with all the craziness and moving parts around...
my wedding. On the day-of she took initiative with all the decorations, organization, and communication between the different vendors, including staying very late at night to make sure everything was taken care of. I cannot express how much relief this gave me and allowed me to be present with my family and have fun! She even took care of a minor mishap with a vendor in the week after the wedding. Thank you, Cera! It was a perfect day!
I was so excited to work with Cera after reading the glowing reviews of her and speaking with her on the phone (she is really nice and friendly!), but unfortunately she did not liv...
e up to the wedding planning that we needed.
We had a few issues from the beginning. Cera emailed us to let us know that she would be unavailable quite a bit during the months we had initially requested for her to be available to look at venues with us, although she didn't let us know about this until after we'd signed contracts and sent her our deposit. Rather than engaging with us proactively, I had to remind her to send us the documents she'd mentioned she would send to us, and then when we received them, they were disorganized (e.g. our wedding date was incorrect, the timeline was a full year shorter than our actual timeline). I was most disappointed when she asked us to send her a list of the venues we'd already found, and when she provided us back a list that she thought might work for us, it was the same as the list I'd sent, plus one additional venue - a Mexican restaurant.
Somewhat fortunately, we ended up moving out of state after we hired Cera but before our wedding. We ended up canceling with her, and because she had done nothing for us at that point, we were refunded less the deposit, as stipulated in our contract. Of course, we understood that we wouldn't get our deposit back, but we were still disappointed that we'd spent so much money and it seemed likely that, had we continued working with her, we would continue to be disappointed in our experience.
I'd highly recommend working with any professional on a smaller project before making the mistake we did and hiring a full-service planner before knowing whether it will be the right fit.
Cera was the most amazing coordinator! She is such a pleasure to work with, always kind and caring and easy to talk to. She was very attentive to our vision and made sure our weddi...
ng would be what we were dreaming of. She was quick to respond to emails and always so helpful. I trusted her and knew that she had everything under control, which kept me calm about the wedding. On our wedding day everything moved along seamlessly and I know it was because of Cera. She kept all of our vendors on schedule and made sure everyone was where they were supposed to be. She also did a wonderful job setting up our decorations at the venue. We had so many people compliment us on how smooth our wedding went and how fun and beautiful it was. Our wedding was everything we hoped for and I can't thank her enough!
How can I even begin to explain how wonderful Cera was! She was honestly the best wedding coordinator for our wedding. She is extremely organized and her calm nature makes a bride ...
feel at ease that everything is being taken care of. I stress about everything and during my wedding planning, I was constantly worried about making sure everything was perfect. Cera was there for me through it all--I cannot thank her enough for everything that she did.
She was my day-of-coordinator and executed everything from set-up to managing the other vendors. She oversaw contracts and made sure every vendor knew their responsibilities. She even helped recommend other vendors when I needed assistance with finding tablecloths. Cera was the best and I'm so happy I had a chance to work with her. She is even coordinating my friend's wedding for 2019. Cera is amazing and you will be super satisfied with her knowledge and strong work ethic. I just love her!
Bottom line: Cera was a dream to work with.
As a bride where my family is not local (as in across the country) hiring Cera was the best choice and investment my husband and I did...
to help our wedding day be an ultimate success.
We knew when we picked our venue and the correspondence between us and the venue was a struggle from the start, we knew we needed someone to come in and take care of everything for us in order for us to keep our sanity (as much as possible) during the planning process. Cera from the beginning was always super supportive, helpful and knowledgable to drive us in the right direction for our choices. She took our style, budget and personalities and put them into our design but also suggested things we would've never thought of which made our wedding amazingly beautiful and a joy for us as well as the guests.
We enjoyed working with Cera so much that after the wedding, my husband and I were kind of sad it was over. It's odd to spend so much time talking and planning with someone as if they were part of our family and then for it to be over. Bittersweet moment.
Don't anticipate getting married again ;-) but if I did - Cera would be my go to.
Cera is hands down one of the most organized event planners weve worked with! From start to finish such a stress free experience for all our brides! Highly reccomended for any bri...
de who wants zero worry and stress on her day!
Cera and her crew were absolutely phenomenal! During the early stages of our wedding planning, Cera was easy to work with, helpful, and scheduling appointments to meet was a breeze...
. She helped my husband and I consider details that we never would have thought of. As the day got closer, her incredible support, creativity, and professionalism continued. She managed our vendors, created a stellar floorplan, and made our timeline flow perfectly. I'm so grateful that these are things I didn't have to do!!
The day of the wedding, Cera and her crew were amazing! All of the flowers were stunning, and everything was set up perfectly! My husband and I didn't have to worry about a thing, and neither did our families! It was so nice to know that our wedding was in great hands, and to be able to relax and enjoy the day.
If you are considering a wedding planner, definitely choose Cera Singley Events! They are detail oriented, dedicated, creative, professional, and easy to work with.
Cera is Amazing! I am so happy I found her on Instagram 2 years ago to start the planning process. I would have been so lost without her guidance and amazing design vision. She is ...
professional, so helpful, sweet, oh did I mention she is AMAZING! Cera not only did wedding planning/coordinator she also did our flower arrangement which were Beautiful. Everything was so spot on with the vision that I was dreaming of for my wedding day. Many of my guest are still talking about how amazing everything was. Cera and her team Hit a Home Run! I highly recommend working with Cera!
Cera is absolutely, without a doubt, hands down - the absolute BEST wedding planner & coordinator. She's incredibly professional, helpful, super sweet, thoughtful, very organized,...
and flexible. I would have given up and eloped if I didn't have Cera to reassure me, organize the day, and keep me totally at ease and calm. She made the day flow so seamlessly and everything we planned went off without a single teeny hiccup. She is the perfect choice for her wedding planning and coordinating services and she's also an incredibly talented florist! She made my vision a reality and our bouquets, corsages, boutonnieres, arrangements, and the flowers for my hair were stunning. I got so many compliments on how gorgeous the flowers were and I love my bouquet so much I'm having it preserved!
Cera and her fantastic team are THE way to go. I love them!
Wow...as total novices in the wedding scene we feel so lucky to have found Cera. She was creative, professional and effortlessly efficient. She tended to every detail, had clever s...
uggestions, contacted the best people and followed through to the end. Wedding guests all had the same comment 'This is the best wedding ever!'
Music to my ears and much due to Cere's efforts.
On the day of our wedding, Cera and her team did a great job of handling all of the little details (placing decor items, ensuring vendors were in place on time, etc.) that really a...
llowed my wife and I to sit back and revel in the excitement of the day. It was so great to have a day-of coordinator to help take over the logistics so that I could just enjoy being a bride and not a wedding planner.
However, despite this helpfulness day-of, our overall experience with Cera was not wholly positive. She seemed to lack the critical attention to detail that I would expect of a wedding professional and, at times, her tone came across as snarky or rude. For example, we are a same-sex couple and when she sent me a spreadsheet template for the day-of timeline, it still said "Bride & Groom" at some parts instead of "Brides" or "Bride & Bride." We were also having no parents or grandparents present at the wedding and multiple versions of the spreadsheet still included "parents/grandparents" as people needing to be present at various part of the day, and I had to remind Cera a couple times to not include this as it is a somewhat sensitive subject for my wife and I.
Additionally, there was an aspect of the ceremony that was a surprise for my now-wife, and she sent us both an email asking for details about it, almost ruining the surprise. Furthermore, even at the wedding rehearsal she said "Mr. & Mrs." at one point. It seemed pretty clear that, although Cera was generally okay with us being a same-sex couple, she wasn't used to working with gay couples and her slip-ups in this regard were concerning and bothersome given the already high levels of heternormativity that we faced while searching for vendors and planning our wedding.
Finally, Cera's attitude and tone during our in-person interactions was somewhat off-putting. She can come across as a little commandeering and condescending and several people in the wedding party remarked on this. It was as though she seemed competitive with me and the hotel's wedding planner to try and take the lead on various parts of the day instead of being okay working more collaboratively as a team. If I had to do it all over again, I don't think I would hire Cera again but would certainly recommend that you hire any day-of coordinator as a general part of the planning process.
We loved working with Cera! We hosted 180 people in a VERY restricted space and she was able to work out the logistics of all of the tables with ease. Her communication was prompt ...
and she was so professional.
To say that Cera is amazing is an understatement--she helped make my dream wedding possible. Her attention to detail, can-do attitude, impeccable work ethic and ability to stay cal...
m during stressful times (and when surrounded by my crazy relatives) was my saving grace. She was there to make sure things went smoothly and stayed late into the night to make sure that all of our things were packed up and delivered to our hotel. She was even kind enough to let us borrow her corn hole when I could afford to rent lawn games. Cera is hands down the best and anyone that has the pleasure of working with her should count themselves lucky.
Where do I start?!? Cera and her assistant Danee were spectacular! When our venue reservation fell through, I knew I had to get some external help to get everything done on time. S...
ome people don't realize how important and necessary a wedding planner really is (I must admit, I was one of them), but this was one of the BEST investments I've made for our wedding.
As soon as we came up with a vision, Cera and Danee worked really hard to ensure that our wedding was executed exactly how we imagined it.
Cera kept in contact with all the vendors and helped with all of the planning. Danee, Nicole, and Rochelle were amazing during the wedding. From walking down the aisle at just the right moment to making sure all of our gifts and decorations were brought to our home right after the wedding - no hiccups (or none that I knew of =P).
Our guests were in awe at the decor and smooth execution of events. And all I could tell them was, "It wasn't my doing, it was my wedding planner."
Cera and Danee, I can't thank you enough for making this day stress free and wonderful for us, our wedding party, and guests [= Cheers to you and your team!
I found Cera through my MOH Jen who told me they're cousins! I messaged Cera and we worked out my budget. I made MANY changes to my order and Cera was patient the entire time! If I...
had a bigger budget I would have used her to help plan the entire wedding! I will say she did an amazing job on the flowers and I couldn't be happier! Definitely grateful for the recommendation!
If we could give more than 5 stars we would. The last thing we wanted for our wedding was stress and we had absolutely no stress. We opened up a store 3 weeks before our wedding so...
our schedules were beyond hectic. Even with this busy time in our lives, we didn't feel stressed because Cera and her team handled exactly what we needed them to. The best part was on our actual wedding day. Like most people, we had many vendors and a lot of moving pieces so it was really nice to have Cera's team there to help set up, get vendors good to go, communicate when we had to change things and even bring all of our gifts and decor back to the house we were staying at. Hiring Cera and her team was the best decision we made for our wedding!
Cera Singley Events is top of the line for wedding coordination. Cera and her team are organized, friendly, reliable, creative, understanding and so professional. Our wedding went ...
off without a hitch, and Cera attended to every detail and logistic which allowed me to totally enjoy the wedding events! I HIGHLY recommend you contact CSE for an initial conversation- Cera's warmth, sense of humor, can-do attitude and experience level will absolutely come through in talking with her. ALSO! CSE organized and created my floral arrangements and they were beautiful! If I could give 6 stars, I would!
Cera is an amazing coordinator. We had 13 vendors to coordinate for our wedding, and she managed it all without a hitch. Cera is cheerful, generous, resourceful and kind. It was...
such a pleasure to work with her all up until the big day, and she rocked it on our wedding day! Would recommend her ten times over, she was absolutely integral to our wedding!
We are thrilled beyond belief to be able to offer this review of Cera Singley Events. On behalf of both the Bride and the Bride, I want to first assure you that you can either have...
an all-inclusive planner/vendor with CS Events or you can just have the planning. You can have full on planning or day of. We choose something between Day Of Coordinator and Full Service Wedding Planning. The biggest factor in us hiring Cera was that she got the vision immediately. She knew we wanted to create something incredibly special and not wedding cookie cutter. She got us organized to gather those "all over the map thoughts". We had our own vision of what we wanted our caterer to provide and Cera provided her knowledge and experience as we selected the rentals and linens. When we lost our first caterer to a personal emergency with 8 months to go before the wedding, we tearily emailed her in the middle of the night in panic and wonder. She answered. We couldn't believe it. She bounced into action - sending more referrals our way. In the end, we found our caterer and was surprised at how seamless the transition was for the new one. Cera also handled our flowers for the event. We didn't need much because of the setting, but she knew exactly what to create because she got our vision.
Our wedding was an incredibly special spiritual event with loads of things for our guests to do. We were really glad we spent the time to organize and get our checklist items done as quickly as we could because the week of the wedding was a blur. Cera patiently reminded both of us that our jobs were done and that she and her staff take our vision and bring it to life. To describe our nervousness for the wedding is hard - but knowing CS Events had it all under control seemed to quite the steely nerves.
Cera - you have helped give us a lifetime of memories and if we could get married every single year to each other again, we'd hire you time and again. It is for all of these reasons, without any reservations, we would highly recommend your business and your business line to others. All the best - Dixie & Yesenia
My husband (yay!) and I are still riding the high of our wedding two days ago and Cera is one of the biggest reasons why! Cera made sure every detail of our wedding went off withou...
t a hitch and she never flinched, not even once. Her calm demeanor and ability to just handle business was remarkable! She took care of us every step of the way, whether that was creating a detailed and organized wedding timeline and floor plan, adding beautiful ribbons to our wedding arch and head table to make our vision come true, making sure we actually got a bite to eat before visiting our guest tables, cleaning up ALL of our decor at the end of the night (huge job, so grateful!) or just having a loving smile on her face every time I turned around! Thank you, Cera, for helping us execute the wedding of our dreams. We really appreciate how you went above and beyond and made our vision a reality! P.s. Cera brought two team members with her for our wedding day because of our huge guest count and they were also amazing!
Where do I start? First off, if you're looking for your planner look no further...you've found the BEST planner! Have you watched the Wedding Planner with JLO? Cera is the new JLO ...
:)
Cera planned our beautiful September 16th wedding. She was soooo amazing throughout the entire process. She was helpful beyond belief at every turn! Even towards the weekend before our wedding when she was super busy with 2 weddings in one weekend she still managed to answer my texts, call me back, and update our vendors as needed. Not only is she incredibly talented and knowledgeable at what she does but she does it with grace. I'm quite the Type A personality and bought decorations for two years. When it came to the BIG day I was so worried about everything matching my vision. However, Cera assured me that she knew my vision and not to worry. As I walked down the aisle I caught little glimpses of decor and the room was magical.
Now, I'm not a bridezilla by any means but I did ask Cera to do the unthinkable at our venue. We got married at Roaring Camp Railroads in the Barn (Brete Hall) where most receptions occur or ceremony and reception but the room is set up for the reception beforehand. Of course this was not my vision. I asked Cera if she could flip the space after the ceremony :) I fully expected a no, but instead she sweetly said if that's what you want we'll get it done! Cera and her team flipped the space during our train ride and cocktail hour. Not one detail missed! The tables were gorgeous! Every place setting flawless, center pieces perfect, sign in table and gift wagon were 100% on point! I was in heaven! All night everyone said that it was the most beautiful & fun wedding they've ever been to.
Cera insured that we stayed on schedule throughout the evening and even as I was spending extra time saying hi to everyone she still was sweet and didn't rush me.
Not 1 thing went wrong and if it did I had no clue.
If you want your big day to be beautiful and go exactly as you dream, hire Cera Singley Events. Her and her team will make your day perfect. You'll be worry free and truly be able to enjoy the most amazing day of your life.
OOOOh she also took the time on her way home after clearing out the venue and packing up our decor to stop by our hotel to hand deliver us the top tier of our cake. Seriously, nothing slips through her hands.
Thank you Cera for everything! You always made me feel like I was your only bride during the busiest time of wedding season. Also you have a great team behind you! Your girls were super sweet and incredibly helpful.

n't thank these ladies enough. They won't let you down :)
We would not have pulled off our dream
wedding without Cera. She is next level. as a wedding coordinator, she kept track of every detail, made sure the day didn't run behind sched...
ule, and took full control of the day so as the bride I didn't have to worry about anything other than getting married. We also hired her as our florist. Her arrangements were incredible. She took my inspiration and ran with it, we got so many compliments on the overall look and feel and execution of our wedding. I highly recommend her for an event organization, winning coordination, and floral design, to anyone who asks. It was the perfect day!!!! Cannot recommend her enough. She is impeccable and talented.
Here's my honest opinion- Cera was a lifesaver! I initially hired her for more comprehensive wedding planning, but through a sad turn of events a close family member grew ill and e...
ventually passed during our wedding planning. What was supposed to be a blissful year ended up being a rollercoaster of emotions, and Cera was there through it all. I was juggling so much I was often an MIA client, and when I appeared, I was in a rush - and Cera was there within minutes every time! Three weeks before our wedding we actually had to cancel and reschedule, and she managed all of the communication with our guests at a time when I could not. But the best part was the big day.... I'm an interior designer so I'm of course, particular - and holy cow Cera and her team exceeded my expectations on every level. Every single detail was painstakingly perfect, to the point where I still can't believe it to this day! Every cupcake display, every family photo, every napkin string, the timing of events, you name it. During our rehearsal, she was equal parts fun and 'whipcracker' (on a day when no one listens, let me tell you) - and on the day of she would appear and disappear at just the right moments. It is totally cliche to say I wish I could do it all over again and I would if I could! But not without Cera! :)
Couldn't have done it without Cera! I hired her for month-of services and she stepped in during those last weeks to make sure everything was in order, and the venue/caterer/vendors...
were all set to go. She even did multiple venue walk-throughs with us. Really helped to reduce the stress in those last days leading up to the wedding.
The day of the event Cera was at the venue from the early morning hours until the party ended and cleanup was complete. She took care of everything, and my husband and I were able to completely enjoy our day. We had so many guests tell us that the evening flowed perfectly - all thanks to Cera!
Cera was both our day-of coordinator and designed all of our flowers. She and her assistant did an amazing job! Our wedding day (including some complicated shuttling between the ce...
remony and reception site) went smoothly, and several of our vendors later mentioned to me how much they enjoyed working with her. The flowers were stunning! I highly recommend her as both a coordinator and florist!
Simply fabulous! Cera and her team went above and beyond to make sure that our day went smoothly. If you are looking for someone who is patient, kind, genuinely cares, organized ...
and is great at what she does.. Cera is someone you need to get in touch with. This day was one of the best days of my life and Cera and her team helped make that possible!
I am so glad we had Cera's help at the wedding! She made the day run smoothly--took care of small mistakes and delays.
Cera was wonderful. We had her as our day-of coordinator and the day went incredibly well. Couldn't have asked for a better wedding.
Beyond the coordination, her flowers were perf...
ection. She understood our vision and accommodated our requests. Her attention to detail was excellent and we received tons of complements on the bouquets, table arrangements, etc.
Right before I walked down the aisle (we had an outdoor ceremony on a beautiful but windy day in San Francisco) Cera asked if I had pinned my catheral length veil. Of course I had ...
not, and she literally took pins out of her own hair to get my cathedral length veil secured onto my head. This scene that seems out of a movie perfectly captures Cera; she truly goes above and beyond. From site visits to phone calls to email strings to rehearsal Cera helped us plan the perfect day, from the timeline and floorplan down to the minute details. She worked with our slew of external vendors and executed our vision perfectly, we really did not have to worry about anything throughout our entire day. We even got compliments from our guests who interacted with her - she's a joy to be around and you can tell she's passionate about her work. Cannot say enough good things about her and highly, highly recommend her for all things wedding!
Cera and her assistant were rock stars. She put up with all my craziness with a huge smile on her face. As a bride, it's hard to put your trust in someone else during the big day b...
ut Cera made that easy. She was flexible, responsive, and didn't care that I emailed her 400 million times leading up to the big day.
The day of she crushed it. We had unexpected rain and Cera just rolled with it and made me feel very calm. She made the venue look exactly how I would have envisioned it had I planned for rain.
Couldn't have imagined my day without her. Thanks for all your help!
Cera and Danee did a fantastic job and made sure my wedding day went smoothly. I could not have asked for a better coordinator. Cera thought of every last detail and made sure ever...
ything was just how I pictured it. Cera is very professional, experienced, and detail-oriented. She made sure that all the vendors knew what to do, where to go and how I wanted everything to be set up. Cera and her team truly made my husband and I feel like VIP movie stars on the day of our wedding and made everything run smoothly and come to life. Best day of coordinator EVER!
Many thanks Cera and Danee! XOXO

I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Cera and her team. If I could give her 10 stars, I would! She did the decor and flowers for our wedding, and was also our day-of co...
ordinator. I honestly don't know what I would have done without her! She was so incredible at hearing what I was looking for and perfectly executing it within our budget. I just gave her an idea of what I liked on Pinterest and she completely blew away my expectations with the gorgeous flowers and table decor. All that aside, she was amazing the day of at helping finalize last payments, and resolving any last minute issues that I hadn't thought of. She has got to be the best wedding planner/florist/decorator out there, because I really can't fathom anyone going more above and beyond and being so dedicated to their work. If you're in need of a planner, you don't need to look any further! Cera is the way to go. She and her team are fantastic, and her prices are so reasonable for all that she does. You will be so happy you booked with her! Seriously cannot thank her enough. She made our wedding everything and more than I ever could have wanted.
I cant imagine my wedding without Cera!
I love the idea of event planning and was essentially planning a lot of my wedding. But 4 months before the wedding I was completely overwh...
elmed managing multiple vendors and keeping track of communication. I also was having difficulty getting the last few vendors and bringing everything together. My husband and I decided to get a wedding coordinator and we are so happy that we found Cera.
Im sure I sent her 500 emails and she was always attentive and caring. She coordinated so much and helped bring our wedding together. I will forever appreciate her work and would absolutely recommend her to anyone getting married.
Cera and her staff were amazing wedding planners! My husband and I did not have to think about a thing on the day of the wedding. Every detail was taken care of for us - coordinati...
on of all of the vendors, all of the decorations, clean up, etc. Even our bags were packed up and on the shuttle at the end of the night. Cera took all of the decorations, gifts and flowers to our house after the wedding. We were hosting a brunch at our home the following day and Cera arrived two hours before the start of the brunch to set up the tables, chairs, decorations and prepare the food. We arrived just before the brunch was to start and everything looked amazing! We want every party at our home to be organized by Cera - it was wonderful to relax and enjoy time with family and friends and not worry about any of the logistics/plans. Thanks Cera & team!
Cera is amazing! I know that may sound cliche and nondescript, but it's simply true. There just isn't a better way to say it. She is an excellent communicator, readily available an...
d responsive, and great at working with all of the other vendors. She is so professional and so likable - I can't imagine anyone not liking this woman. She is just so nice! Weddings can be stressful (duh) and Cera just makes the stress melt away. I think part of it is just her nature, her personality. She has a way of putting people at ease. She is very organized and detail-oriented (which I love), but she is also very calm. When I focus on details, I just stress out and become a control-freak. Cera is not that way at all. She is positive and easy-going, always with a smile and a great sense of humor. Her presence is so reassuring. Her confidence that everything was going to be fine, made me feel that everything would be fine... and then it was better than fine, it was perfect! Leading up to the wedding she helped with questions I had about guests/family/attire/etiquette. And on the day-of, she just managed everything so well. I can't explain it! I didn't have to worry or think about a thing. I could just enjoy my special day. I am one of those brides who had a serious vision, a dream for what my wedding would look like. And I showed up in my gown and the next 8 hours were my dream realized. I must have looked at a thousand pinterest photos in the year leading up to the wedding and on the day of, I felt like I had walked into a living version of those photos. All of the decorations she had put together. Making sure everyone was where they were supposed to be. Having spare fix-it kits for broken boutonnieres. I'm sure she was doing a lot of running around to make sure it all went smoothly, but you wouldn't have known it. She was visible and in contact with me when she needed to be (or when I needed her), but never an interference. I was fully present in the experience of my wedding and not distracted by the timeline and details. Not to mention the clean-up. That's a thing people don't think about, but she organized that too and was so efficient, so that my husband and I could leave the venue and be off to our hotel for a romantic wedding night. I can't say enough positive things about Cera. I wish I could get married all over again - not that I would change a thing, but Cera just made it the day of my dreams, truly.
We were in way over our heads with wedding planning - Cera knew right where she could step in and be most helpful! CSE to took over all of the set up and tear down, coordinating wi...
th the photographers and DJ, and ensuring everyone was where they needed to be. It was a huge relief for us and for our families to sit back and just enjoy the day.
Cera has excellent attention to detail and a true talent to make a bride’s visions reality. The ceremony and reception spaces CSE set up were stunning! I was struggling to balance things I liked from Pinterest versus their pricetags; Cera helped us to figure out where to spend money and where we could cut costs. She also provided some needed insight and organization for the layout and timeline of the day. She was persistent and professional despite slow feedback on our part.
And, as if all that wasn’t enough, Cera also took on the task of arranging our flowers – they all turned out gorgeous! Our bouquets were especially lovely (see the soft pink/deep red bouquet in the pictures above), even more than I’d hoped for!!
I did not expect to need personal support the day of, but Cera was such a blessing to me – advocating for my desires in last minute decisions, helping to calm situations and nerves when I was stressed. Eric and I are incredibly grateful she was around. She consistently went above and beyond what was expected to make our day phenomenal. Love, Eric & Reba
Cera had it all together and ran the show like a true professional. My wedding was amazing and ran smoothly. Her and her assistant were great and worked their butts off.
I only...
wish we knew ahead of time what exactly they would be setting up and cleaning up, ended up having to do a lot of clean up ourselves the next day. Other than that the day of was wonderful.
My husband, Paul and I, originally hired Cera as our day-of coordinator simply because we were told by so many of our friends that "that's just what you're supposed to do" and "you...
're supposed to have one".
However, Cera proved to be ESSENTIAL in our wedding process- and it became so clear to us- when we started reading some very negative reviews of our venue. As I was trying not to stress, I informed Cera of the reviews and she took care of my worries right away by going out of her way to speak with the venue owner and some of our vendors. One of the first things that stood out to me when I first met her was how warm she is. Also, it takes a special person to be really on top of things without seeming stressed out or intense. I am a big believer in energy being contagious and I did NOT want a coordinator who seemed like she was running around like a chicken with its head cut off. Cera was everything but that. She is extremely relaxed and calm and most importantly- really on top of EVERYTHING.
On our rehearsal day, less than 24 hours before our wedding day- Paul and I were in complete shock when we found a large tree had fallen into our ceremony space. Again, Cera came to the rescue. She took care of speaking with our venue to ensure that the tree would be removed. We were thinking that we would need to change the ceremony location since the venue owner kept saying how long it would take for an arborist to come to the site and use a chainsaw to slowly cut down the tree bits. Because of Cera's help and clear communication, we didn't have to worry about anything. And although the tree was still being cleaned up the morning of our wedding, the site was cleared and our chairs were set up in time without a hitch.
On the day of, all of the decorations that I had made were set up perfectly. I have heard stories from my friends where their favors were never set out, or their personalized Etsy silverware or signs were never displayed because they were simply forgotten. Cera and her assistant Valerie made sure that all our decorations/silverware/favors/pictures/kids centerpieces were all displayed and not to mention, set perfectly, exactly the way we had pictured.
Cera also made sure to keep our schedule running as ideal as possible. What most people don't realize it that it is easy for any coordinator to keep things running if they are running on schedule. The tricky part is how to run things smoothly when things start to fall behind schedule and you have 10 different vendors who are all trying to stick to their own schedules. Cera and Valerie were flawless in making sure all the vendors, as well as our guests, and Paul and I, stayed happy.
Our venue site was huge and I have no idea how but it seemed like Cera and Valerie were everywhere all at once. They directed our parents, grandparents, family, groomsmen, bridesmaids and Paul and I to exactly where we needed to be at the right time. When Paul and I were done with pictures and ready to join our guests at our reception, our dinner was waiting for us at our table. I am all about the little details and Cera made sure that all those details were flawless!
Paul jokingly (but in all seriousness) said to me, "Cera is the best money we've spent this wedding" and I wholeheartedly agree. She and Valerie are so genuine, warm and so pleasant to work with! We would do it all over with them if we could! We give Cera and Valerie 10 thumbs up and give them the highest recommendation we can give!
Hands down, working with Cera was the best decision we made during the wedding planning process! I can't even give you a list of everything Cera did, because she was so integral to...
the lead-up and the day-of. She coordinated with our vendors, designed the timeline and floor plan, picked up our decor from our house and decorated the venue, trouble-shot during the wedding, broke things down and delivered the decor back to us, and so many other things! Cera has an incredible personality, and was fun and easy to work with. I would highly highly recommend working with Cera--and am happy to be a reference if anyone needs one!
