Cherie Riley Weddings

hen we were feeling overwhelmed with the planning process. On the day of, she helped coordinate all of the vendors and volunteers, and helped our day be stress free, which was a priority for us and a Godsend! We would highly recommend the services of Cherie Riley and her team! 10/10 would get married again!

the area the reception was to be held was ruined by mud slides; in only 3 days Cherie had another location that was perfect. What could've been a disaster was saved by Cherie & her team. Guests were totally unaware of any changes & EVERYBODY said it was the best wedding/reception they'd attended. The reception area was decorated perfectly, like a dream, and the staff were awesome. Cherie offers her own home for the bridal party to get ready at and again the vibe is country chic & relaxing. Cherie totally makes the whole wedding prep experience stress free. We can't recommend her & her team enough A+++ Her IG shows many other wedding styles she has planned across the country, Whatever your vibe, Cherie's got it covered. Rustic, beachy, modern she knows what you're looking for and delivers. As the MOB I can't thank Cherie enough for easing the stress and having a beautiful, peace about her at all times. Cherie’s professionalism with friendship, and communication was invaluable to the smooth running of the wedding. We had several informative meetings beforehand. From these we knew Cherie totally shared our vision for what we were wanting. Again, I can't praise Cherie and the entire Riley family enough, they're a God send. 10/10

stress between our daughter and me. There were times I wanted to cancel the entire event. Before hiring Cherie, I constantly told my daughter, "We are behind. Please do something." "Your birthday will not happen if you don't put some effort into making it happen." When Cherie met with our daughter, they immediately connected, and our daughter was able to start getting more involved. When our daughter would not get going again, and I was once again frustrated, I would call Cherie with so much frustration. Cherie was calm, let me speak, and helped me feel reassured that everything was going to go just as we wanted. She set up more meetings with our daughter and appointments for both our daughter and me. Cherie has an amazing ability to notice details. For example, when she came with us to see the venue, she noticed that the front tables' setup would not look as good as they were. She stated that she didn't like having our daughter sit in between two tables. Instead, she advised that the venue change the table arrangements to make the tables look like one long table. This is just one of the many details she coordinated for us. Though you may not see this detail's importance, the head table would have looked bad, and our daughter would have been uncomfortable. We had such ease using the website to input guess and their address and keeping track of who was coming and who was not. We were also able to create a sitting chart. Cherie gave our daughter the deadlines she needed to be still motivated to help and give us the time we needed to connect and enjoy the process. On the day of our event, Cherie had an assistant, and I cannot state enough how Cherie's attention to detail and her choice of assistant made the evening run so smoothly. I had NOTHING to worry about, including getting the food picked up. Our daughter had chosen several different menus, though all local, still needed to be picked up and driven to the venue. From the Dominican food to pizza and arranging desserts, none of our guests had to worry about anything. Cherie also coordinated throughout the planning process with our decor coordinators; her communication with them was helpful. She also helped coordinate with our amazing photographer. A highlight for me was how I spent the day with our daughter and her court of 14 damas (our daughter's friends who were part of the ceremony) while they got dressed and enjoyed their time chatting and getting their hair and makeup done. I could spend that time with them because I knew exactly what would happen because of Cherie's organization. We had a beautiful time; everyone came together beautifully to create a priceless experience, and the day was perfect.

orry about the ceremony and reception. Everyone had a great time. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding coordinator to make their day extra special.

vendors and ensuring our timeline for the day was followed. With our wedding ceremony being held at The Historic Padua Hills Theatre in Claremont, and our reception taking place at our private residence in Rancho Cucamonga afterwards, we needed a team to ensure all of the necessary preparations were in place so that we and our families could enjoy the events without stressing about the fine details. Cherie and her team far exceeded our every expectation!! During our preparation meetings, Cherie was so professional, knowledgeable, and kind. She truly made us feel at ease throughout the planning process. On our wedding day, Cherie and her team handled everything that was going on behind the scenes, and really ensured my Husband and I were enjoying ourselves. We cannot thank Cherie and her team enough for all that they did to make our wedding day so successful. THANKS CHERIE!!! - Janae & Joshua Oswald

helpful guiding our rehearsal and we're equally amazing on our wedding day. They helped us execute the most beautiful day! We were truly so lucky to have such great people as our vendors.

hrough it! She took care of all of the big and small details and took a lot of stress off our shoulders so that we could enjoy our wedding day. We will look back forever on our amazing wedding day as the best day of our lives, and are very thankful we had Cherie as our wedding planner

e was having a small meltdown, Cherie kept everyone calm and moving in the right direction. I, as the mother of the bride, could not have been as calm as I was if it weren’t for Cherie and her team. All of our guests said it was the best wedding they’ve been to and we couldn’t have pulled it off without her. I would recommend her to all the future brides.

ns I had that came up along the way.

ies of what could be done. The day of the wedding she made the day go seamless following the timeline we had set up. From the big stuff to the minute details like having a cold towel for me because it was hot and making sure I had water and serving me(the bride) and groom dinner first before the rest of the guests. Five months later and our guests are still raving about how beautiful and perfect our big day was. Thank you to Cherie and the rest of the team for all of your hard work on our big day.

at times when I was stressed or worried she never was and she worked to make sure something was taken care of to ease my mind. She was very responsive and worked with our schedules. We loved all of the vendors we worked with and most were her contacts so she had relationships with them which was great. You can trust Cherie to execute your dream wedding.

ensure that everything was accounted for. Cherie's easy-going and knowledgeable guidance was very helpful, as I had no idea what I was doing. She even altered my dress for me, as she's a gifted seamstress. On the wedding day itself, I knew that I could count on Cherie and her friendly, joyful team to take care of us. They made sure we ate, pointed us (and our wedding party) in the right directions, and gave us peace of mind that everything that needed to happen would happen. Cherie was also adept with the emergency re-bustling (twice!). I would highly recommend Cherie Riley for your wedding planner needs!

n't happen. She reached out to all the venders and held communication in a time were I was not able to be present or want to be. I was pretty depressed after news of my wedding was postponed a whole year the week of the wedding. She would call and check in on me, as a human and just listen. She was so sweet and I honestly don't know what I would have done without her! Day of the wedding was BLISS! Again, thanks to Cherie. She handled everything! If anything went wrong I had no idea about it, which was amazing since all I wanted to do that day was soak in all the love from our family and friends! STRESS FREE! She's a dream!

very creative! I planned my wedding all the way across the country from where i was getting married and she really helped with that. She went to the venue with my mom and kept me in the loop

to worry about anything. I would definitely recommend hiring Cherie as your wedding planner! You will not regret it. 😊

. Thank you Cherie!

hankful for her. She is the most patient person and was also an incredible professional. She has great advice and also has a great aesthetic. When it came to planning she knew all of the items we needed, and walked us through everything we needed. She also had a great list of preferred vendors. For those vendors we did not have, she helped us research, vet and get quotes. She easily saved me over 100 hours of work, especially considering our venue changed multiple times due to new regulations coming out every week. She helped us plan our wedding during COVID and the loss of a parent just before our wedding. She was solution oriented for making sure everyone was safe, but also made sure that our wedding went on. We left our wedding fully enjoying the entire weekend and adoring every aspect of working with Cherie.

ly enough.

y hiccups that will naturally come with a wedding.

dors. My work schedule was so busy, and she always kindly worked around it and helped coordinate visits with the vendors. She was always mindful of our budget and always had realistic recommendations for the planning process. And, she is just such a joy and has the most pleasant personality. She was excited for us every step of the way, and really thought of so many details that we wouldn’t have even considered if we planned the wedding by ourselves. I would, and have already recommended her to my engaged friends. If you want someone who will work with you and keep you organized to make your wedding vision come true, Cherie and her team are definitely the way to go.

as she cared for the details and the little things you might miss when planning a wedding. Jenni was our day of coordinator and did a wonderful job making the day go smoothly. They were both kind, friendly, and professional. They executed my ideas and lack of ideas into a beautiful wedding day. Our vendors loved them and so did we, I would definitely recommend Cherie!
