Wow! I cannot say enough about Cherish Events, and Ashley and Lauren. My oldest daughter knew them before she was even engaged and immediately connected with them when she did. I r...
emember her saying, mom, I know you may not approve, but…in the middle of it all, I did approve. These ladies and their staff are worth their weight in gold! I walked in and enjoyed the entire wedding from beginning to end. I didn’t have to be one of those moms who traded her evening gown for jeans/tee to prep or clean up. That was 6 years ago, so when my youngest daughter got engaged, Cherish Events was my first contact. I mostly had Ashley, as she is Orlando based, assist. She handled every question/concern with an immediate response and problem solved with me. She is very supportive. When she found out my daughter had broken her right ankle/leg 3 ½ months before her wedding, she was a force to be reckoned with! She totally relieved everyone’s minds. Two days before the wedding, the DJ (we also used him 6 years ago) unexpectedly became quite ill - Ashley had Plan B ready to go before she even called us. We trusted her judgement completely. There were other smaller hiccups along the way, and Ashley guided us through them professionally. Ladies, in the event you are looking for a hands down, the best wedding planners, you will be happy if you choose Cherish Events.
Cherish Events have been the wedding planners for both of my daughters weddings and they are not just a professional acquaintance, but have become family. Their expertise in what ...
they do and who they recommend and work within all other areas of event planning is nothing but the best! My family could sit back and enjoy every part of each wedding day without any worry, because Ashley & Lauren take charge and make sure every part of the day is exactly as your bride has dreamed it should be. Thank you for fulfilling both my daughter's wishes to come true!
I have to tell you, as the groom in the wedding couple, I was initially a little skeptical of the need for a wedding planner, thinking (short-sightedly, perhaps even stupidly): c'm...
on, how much is there to it, really? But as the wedding planning progressed and the complexity grew, I quickly realized we were wayyyy out of our depth, and that's where Lauren swooped in and saved the day!
Lauren G of Cherish Events was an absolute delight to work with, full stop. From our initial meeting, my (now) wife and I signed off the Zoom call, looked at each other and instantly knew: yep, she's the one! She was so professional and so organized that she instantly put our minds at ease. She was incredibly communicative and went above and beyond the call of duty, attending to our every need and question promptly, accurately and COMPASSIONATELY!
She made what was quickly beginning to feel like an overwhelming process into something that warranted the joyousness of the occasion. My wife and I found ourselves constantly spontaneously turning and saying to each other how much we loved Lauren, and how taken care of we felt. From start to finish, she guided us through each step of the process, and even though she was technically "only" our day-of-coordinator, she felt more like our full-on wedding planner. We felt cared for throughout the process, and it felt like Lauren had a personal stake in making sure our wedding day was the best it could possibly be. And was it? ABSOLUTELY! Best weekend of our lives, and it all went off without a hitch! No, seriously - with any wedding you would think at least SOME little thing would go wrong, right? But no, not a single thing did. Literally: nothing! Actually, not only did it not go wrong, it went as right as it could possibly go. Once we got to the venue, we really felt like we didn't have to worry about a single thing. Our only job: enjoy the best day of our lives and PARTY!!! Lauren was on the scene early, organizing and coordinating the vendors, cueing everything to begin on time and smoothly, and checking in with us constantly to make sure we felt like the day was living up to our expectations (it was! and then some!!). And I would be remiss if I didn't mention her wonderful colleague Amber, who worked tirelessly behind the scenes as Lauren's right-hand-woman (thanks, Amber!).
And even the next day, after the wedding ended, Lauren checked in with us to follow-up and make sure we still felt great about everything. Again, the phrase I would use is "taken care of" -- that's how we felt the entire time working with Lauren, and we would give her 5 stars in every possible category! I don't say this lightly, but if you're reading this review while trying to choose a wedding planner / day of coordinator, I have to tell you: you would be CRAZY not to choose Lauren G / Cherish Events for your wedding!!!
It’s hard to put into words how wonderful Cherish Events have been to work with, I don’t think my wedding would’ve come together without Lauren and the team. My husband and I found...
Cherish early on into planning (thanks Reddit!), and every step of the way was made so much smoother. Lauren’s calm, professional expertise as well as organizational skills and warm personality helped ground us in creating the exact celebration we were hoping for. Anything we needed, she was there! Finding vendors, joining us for meetings and asking all the right questions, decor suggestions, calming us down when needed, I could go on. Lauren’s personal approach helped us feel comfortable, and trust her expertise even more. Everything went off without a hitch, and even Ashley came up for the day of! I would recommend Cherish Events to anyone
Ashley and her team were the absolute best. My wife and I are both super busy with our careers so planning our wedding reception was a huge challenge for us. On top of that, we did...
an Italian destination wedding a month before the reception, so in the weeks leading up to the event, we were entirely immersed in our travels. Ashley took so much off of our shoulders and did all of the heavy lifting for us so that we could enjoy our time overseas. When we came back, we just had a couple of meetings to finalize details and the reception turned out PERFECT. Our guests cannot stop telling us how much they enjoyed it and how perfect every detail was, and we have Ashley to thank for all of it. She was a joy to work with and the quality was top notch. THANK YOU ASHLEY!!!
When there’s so much to rave about with Cherish Events, where do we even begin?! From the moment we connected with Lauren, we knew she’d be the perfect partner in wedding planning,...
and she proved that to be right a million times over. Lauren was thoughtful, professional, and exceedingly kind in every single step of the process. It was clear she’d managed weddings at the Prospect Park Boathouse so so so many times, and she clarified so many details for us and brought up questions we wouldn’t have even thought to ask. She navigated the contracts/permits/complicated wedding minutiae with ease, and she took any scariness out of the wedding-planning process. We also really appreciate how she never once tried to push a decision on us, but she always gave her honest opinion when we asked.
In terms of our vendors, Lauren listened to our vision for our wedding and brought the near-infinite list of NYC wedding vendors down to just a few excellent selections, then let us pick from there. Every single person she recommended was kind, calm, and incredibly talented, and we’re so glad she helped us form the best team for our big day.
At the wedding itself, we and our guests were amazed by Lauren’s ability to take charge & be direct while maintaining a sweet demeanor & a warm smile. With Natalie there to deftly assist, Lauren solved any snags we encountered, as well as many we didn’t even know about! We couldn’t imagine our wedding day being as beautiful, memorable, and peaceful as it was under the guidance of anyone else.
WE LOVE YOU, LAUREN!! Thank you, thank you, thank you for helping to orchestrate the best day ever. Lauren Gordon Fan Club forever!!
Take it from a bride who thought she could handle it all - you NEED a Lauren in your life! As a Type A bride, I thought I had it together, and getting a day-of coordinator was more...
of a formality. Boy was I wrong. Lauren from the Cherish team gave us more than just basic wedding day of services; she has and shares a wealth of wedding knowledge, thoughtful recommendations, a listening ear, a can-do, 10-steps ahead approach, and endless organizational tools to help you stay on track – just to name a few. My husband and I would sigh with gratitude after getting off of calls with Lauren, knowing we made the best decision for our wedding by hiring her and having someone else in our court who just “got it” and could help bring our vision to life. Any question we had, Lauren handled with care and positivity. She gave "above and beyond" new meaning, and truly became like family by the time we got to the actual wedding. "I got you girl" were the golden words she kept telling me when she would sense my anxieties heighten. And I knew she did. Not a detail was missed; the vibes stayed calm, joyful and celebratory, and having her allowed me to actually enjoy our day to the fullest. There were countless things she thought (and probably more I didn’t even know about) that I wouldn’t have known to do or think about myself. We'll forever be grateful for Lauren and her expertise in bringing our magical day to life. I'd pick working with Cherish every time and recommend to any friend!
Lauren and her team are awesome! They took care of everything and allowed us just to enjoy the best wedding ever! If you work with her you will also have the best wedding ever!
Working with Lauren & Cherish is the best thing I did for my wedding outside of marrying my husband. Lauren went above and beyond from start to finish. Lauren helped me lock in my ...
vision, prioritize my budget, and achieve the looks & feel for the NYC wedding that I had dreamed of. She was the greatest partner not just providing guidance and honest recommendations, but also making sure that I felt good and relaxed throughout the process. My wedding day was PERFECT. Truly not one moment or thing that I can look back on and critique. Lauren and Natalie made me and my husband feel extremely supported. From bustling my dress, setting up our decor, to bringing us our favorite drinks. We were able to completely focus on each other & our day while they effortlessly handed everything else. Ensured our families had front row seats to our biggest moments, everything was set out and timed perfectly, and that every request big and small was taken care of. All of their perfect touches, planning and partnership is tied with an enormous bow of kindness, warmth, and professionalism. I couldn’t recommend Lauren, Natalie, and Cherish Events enough for your big day. They made ours absolutely perfect and I am forever thankful!
We truly had the best night ever, and it was all thanks to Lauren and the team at cherish events.
Everything went so perfectly, from the weather to the florals to the music and t...
he overall flow of the evening. It honestly felt like magic.
We cannot Lauren enough for her care, creativity, and thoughtfulness throughout this entire process. Even when I was anxious or a little neurotic (LOL), she always brought such calm, positive energy, which we desperately needed and appreciated so much.
Lauren’s presence was felt in the best way: both of our families couldn’t stop pointing out how kind, attentive, and warm she was on the wedding day.
We could not have done this without Lauren and her team. Most specifically the vendor recommendations. Every single person Lauren brought into the wedding was the highest caliber of talent and professionalism.
We <3 cherish events
Lauren did a fantastic job with our wedding. We hired her as a day-of coordinator, and she went above and beyond. Everything went perfectly on our big day, and Lauren kept us on sc...
hedule and relaxed the whole time. If there were any problems, they were fixed without us ever having to hear about them. I truly couldn't have asked for a better outcome. Lauren worried about the details so we could enjoy the party. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to a friend or family member.
Lauren Gordon of Cherish Events is the platonic ideal of a wedding planner/coordinator. From our very first inquiry call until the day after our wedding, Lauren was accessible, kin...
d, understanding, and prepared with answers. My husband and I got married at the Prospect Park Boathouse, and it felt like Lauren has done hundreds of weddings there! Because she was already familiar with the venue's staff and process, she easily walked us through every step. Even before our contract term officially started, Lauren was available for general questions via email or phone, and she thought of everything before we even realized! She entered every scheduled call with an agenda that we could follow along, action items and next steps for our to-do lists and follow-ups, and was confidence inspiring from the moment we met. On the day of our wedding, we felt absolutely zero stress, just joy, and I'm sure that's because Lauren solved problems I never even knew existed! Just some small examples: My father-in-law mentioned he worried there weren't enough seats for the guests, and Lauren simply said "let me look into it" and took care if it without requiring any follow-up! My husband and I nearly forgot to sign our official marriage certificate while dancing the night away, and Lauren made sure to get us and our witnesses together before leaving. After our ceremony, I burst into tears from happy emotions, and when I went to retouch my make-up, Lauren already had a plate of hors d'eouvre waiting! It's been two months since our wedding, and my family still tells me it was the "perfect day" and the "smoothest wedding" they've ever been to, and I know it's all thanks to Lauren. Hire her/Cherish Events--you won't regret it!
Looking for a wedding planner? Not sure if you may need one? Don’t think twice - hire Cherish Events. Honestly, we were very on the fence about hiring a planner at all because our...
venue came with a lot. However, most all inclusive vendors only manage their venue and the food/drink - there are so many other details that we would’ve been so in over our heads without Lauren. The months leading up to the big day were a lot less stressful and the day of went off without a hitch. Forever grateful to Lauren and Natalie for making everything so easy!
One of the best decisions my husband and I made was hiring Ashley and her wonderful company, Cherish Events, to be our wedding planner. We used the full service planning package an...
d Ashley was the most attentive, friendly, knowledgeable and patient planner as we navigated this new chapter of our life. Ashley always, selflessly, made herself available to us no matter the day or time answering our questions and easing our concerns about our wedding. She gave us a multitude of options for wedding vendors and weighed in when we were uncertain about different aspects of our wedding. We knew that our wedding would be absolutely beautiful but it was better than we expected with her guidance. Ashley and her wonderful assistant smoothed out the inevitable hiccups that occur on wedding days seamlessly and communicated effortlessly with all of our vendors. She was able to incorporate all of our wishes and more into our day and made it a truly incredible experience. If you are looking for the most professional, knowledgeable, and experienced wedding planner that feels more like a friend- Ashley at Cherish Events is by far your best choice!
Fantastic event planner! I highly recommend Ashley and her team. They were very professional, great at communicating and experienced in planning. She knew all the vendors whom I wa...

There are simply not enough words to describe how much we loved working withe the Cherish Events team to plan our wedding. Ashley our lead Wedding Planner was an absolute angel in ...
helping us navigate everything every single step of the way. On the wedding day her and her coordinator Lyndsey made everything as as seamless as possible and truly made it possible for my husband and I to turn off our brains and simply be present in our day. Can't honestly say enough amazing things. We loved working with you!
We had our dream perfect wedding at New York Botanical Garden. We are forever grateful to Lauren and her team for helping us have our perfect day. Truly it was the best day of our ...
lives and I give Lauren full credit. She is so nice and easygoing but somehow just the kind of perfectionist you want your wedding coordinator to be. Going into the final month before the wedding I was so stressed and can't imagine having done this without Lauren. She made sure every vendor was accounted for, every design detail was just as I had envisioned, and that we ran smoothly on schedule. I don't know how she managed to orchestrate everything so flawlessly. I did not have to worry about a single thing the entire day and thanks to her could take in every precious moment of my wedding just taking in all the love from our guests. Thank you so much to Lauren and all the team at Cherish Events!
Hiring Lauren and Cherish Events was sincerely the best thing we did for our wedding (July 2024). Her and the team were incredibly professional, helpful, attentive, down to earth a...
nd are anything/everything you’d ever want in a wedding planner. Although we hired Lauren as our Day of Wedding coordinator, she went above and beyond that, communicating with us months before our wedding day. Always keeping us honest with deadlines and the 1,000 tasks that need to get done for a wedding (while never being pushy or rude).
She provided us with recommendations on photographers, DJ’s, lighting specialists and much more. As a bit of an anxious bride, I can honestly say I did not have to worry about one thing the day the wedding. It’s truly hard to put into words how grateful we are to Lauren and her assistant Sofia for making our day run so smoothly, we felt like Lauren was family at the end of it and we wouldn’t change a thing.
Lauren was an invaluable part of our wedding. She was organized, flexible, consultative and calm. She expertly navigated the rules of the road for our venue, The Prospect Park Boat...
house, and drove seamless collaboration with our other vendor partners. Leading up to the wedding, she gracefully nudged us along on all of the decisions we needed to make, provided recommendations when asked, ensured the full timeline and plan for the day were set, and communicated the plan to everyone involved. Because she was on top of it all, no parents or siblings had to sweat about any details or logistics. We are so thankful we had Lauren by our side for the planning and execution - couldn’t recommend her more highly!
Lauren and her team were true professionals, but more importantly they are great people. Lauren made us feel sane in the few months leading up to our big day, and the wedding itsel...
f was smooth and seamless from start to finish thanks to her. Do I miss planning my wedding? Absolutely not. But do I miss Lauren? YES!!! She really felt like a friend, and we were so excited to have her there on our wedding day.
Lauren truly made our wedding planning journey an absolute breeze! From the moment we enlisted her services, she took charge with such grace and professionalism that we knew we wer...
e in good hands. Planning a wedding can often be overwhelming, but Lauren's expertise and attention to detail relieved SO much stress from the equation.
She helped me find the most important vendors, such as the florist, hairstylist, DJ. Helped pick out all the decor. And consistently coordinated with all the vendors, ensuring that every detail was taken care of without bombarding us with endless emails and questions. This allowed us to focus on the excitement of our wedding rather than getting bogged down in logistics!
On the day of the wedding, Lauren and Natalie were absolute superstars as they ensured that the timeline flowed smoothly, that the bridal party knew what they were doing, and that we always had food and our preferred drinks in hand. We truly enjoyed ourselves so much because of them! Also, all of our guests loved them, which was SO great and important to me!
If you're looking for wedding planners, look no further than Cherish Events. And Lauren, you truly are a gem in the world of wedding planning!! Thank you for EVERYTHING!
If you are looking for a day of coordinator look no further! Lauren helped marry us at the prospect park boathouse in April 2024 and it was a dream working with her. She is so incr...
edibly organized and is willing to offer honest opinions and advice which is invaluable with her prior experience with weddings at the boathouse. Her process leverages an online software called aisle planner with various worksheets and tools to ultimately work towards a detailed, near minute by minute timeline with all crucial information in a singular place. The software is easy to use and is an excellent tool. You’ll want both Lauren and her well thought coordinating process on your vendor lineup to make the wedding of your dreams come to life.
We had the most amazing experience having Cherish Events as our wedding planning team. We live in Michigan and were extremely worried about executing a wedding in Florida. Those wo...
rries were quickly put to bed once all the vendor recommendations began pouring in. The team took the time to get to know my now husband and I. They were extremely responsive during the planning process and even patient when we had things come up in our lives like a hospitalized mother in law. I won’t say the planning process was stress free, but I will say none of that stress came from Cherish Events and they did everything they could to work with and eliminate factors causing the stress.
The wedding weekend went off without a hitch thanks to these ladies. They were present from the rehearsal and added valuable suggestions for the entire wedding party. It made it easy for me to remain calm on the day of the wedding. When I tell you they handled EVERYTHING on wedding day I mean everything. Their professionalism, organization, cheerfulness, timeliness are just a few of the characteristics that shines through. I could go on and on about this team but will sum it up with this. No matter the type of couple you are, Cherish Events will adapt to you and make you entire journey (not just the wedding day) memorable.
Working with Lauren from Cherish Events was one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding. She was incredibly responsive and quickly answered tons of questions via em...
ail to help us make important decisions during the planning process. She pulled from years of experience and had worked at our venue before so she had wonderful insight on how to set things up and organize the day. Their portal, AislePlanner, was easy to use and allowed us to have all of our information in one place. As a bride who had a specific vision and knew what I wanted, I really appreciated the attention to detail and nitty gritty info that Lauren got into with her questions and requests. She made sure she had info on where every piece of decor would be and how we wanted the timeline of the day to run. She was even open to helping us set up florals, which was a huge help for our budget. Lauren was also hugely helpful and flexible when we had to move our wedding inside to our rain plan due to massive flooding in NYC. She ran our rehearsal quickly and made us feel relieved that things would still work out well. Day-of, she was on the ball and made sure things ran smoothly throughout the entirety of the event. Our guests were impressed by how Lauren operated behind the scenes to keep everything moving, while still letting the wedding naturally progress and letting me and my partner shine. Our day was so great thanks to Cherish Events and we highly recommend Lauren + her team!!!
Lauren is AH-MAY-ZING.
Booking a coordinator was a last minute decision on our end and looking back at our process, has I known just how incredible Lauren was I would have booked ...
her services from the beginning of our process. The moment we met in our zoom consult, I was sold. Her planning tools, her organizational skills, her finesse is unmatched. Lauren was a God-sent and our wedding day was nothing short of perfection. We began on time, ran on time and finished with ease. Lauren gave us such peace of mind knowing that we did not have to do anything but enjoy ourselves. We are a month post wedding and my parents STILL sing her praises. She made everyone feel so taken care of and truly cared about. She even took behind-the scenes videos for us without even having to ask!! If you are looking to actually enjoy your wedding day without stress, Lauren & Cherish Events is the answer to those prayers. Thank you so much for everything Lauren. I said it on wedding day and I will say it again: for some people, planning and coordinating is just a business or a hobby, for you, it is your gift. You are nothing short of excellent and we are forever grateful. Thank you for not only taking on the crazy of our day but for doing it with such grace and a touch of swag. Thank you thank you thank you

sband and I wouldn’t have thought to ask vendors, was very organized and detailed, and I honestly felt like she was more than my wedding planner. I would recommend her and the Cherish Events team a thousand times over. Such top tier service! Our wedding turned out just the way we wanted it, if not better. Our family and friends still bring up what an amazing time they had!
We had the pleasure of working with Lauren at Cherish Events as our wedding coordinator, and both her and her assistant Sophia were amazing! Lauren's exceptional organizational ski...
lls and attention to detail put us at ease leading up to our wedding, and we didn't have anything to worry about on the day. She seamlessly handled every aspect of our wedding, from vendor coordination to timeline management, ensuring that everything ran smoothly. Several of our friends and family also told us how great Lauren and Sophia were. We cannot recommend them highly enough.
From conception to execution, Lauren was a calming presence, assuring us and supporting us throughout the entire grueling process. My spouse and I feel truly lucky to have had her ...
warm and practical energy around us on our special day. To top it all off, Lauren was accompanied by Sophia, who was beyond professional and on top of every single detail, even things we didn’t think to think about. And that it’s the best decision anyone getting married could make! We are forever grateful.
I knew Lauren and Cherish Events were the right vendor right from our first zoom call. We were not even in contract yet and she was willing to stay on the phone with me and answer ...
all of my questions... we just clicked! Lauren and Ashley make you feel like they've known you forever and can fill in your thoughts on what you want for your wedding when you don't even have the words to articulate your dreams! They ran our day very smoothly and were flexible with accommodating the planning we also brought to the table. Our venue messed up our floor plan and therefore the table name placements, and Ashley jumped on it, without even a blink and quickly corrected the issue without anyone even noticing. I appreciate their dedication to their craft and found them incredibly pleasant people to work with. My husband and I got married in October 2022 at the Boathouse in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, NY. Do not be hesistant to reach out to them if you are in the northeast because their homebase says Florida! :) xoxo
It is hard to find enough praising words for Lauren and Cherish Events. Our wedding day couldn’t be more perfect and credits for this goes to her. Lauren is not only extremely know...
ledgeable, professional and efficient, the best communicator. She’s also the most kind and gracious person, so pleasant to work with. After all, the wedding planner is the first person who congratulates you after the I do s - I’m so happy we have her to do that with the sweetest genuine smile on her face. I feel like she was able to read our minds with so many things - we trusted her wholeheartedly, and she really executed everything in the best possible way. We were expecting the whole wedding planning process to be quite stressful, but to be honest, it wasn’t like it at all - because of Lauren and Cherish Events. So grateful we have her and the team, can’t recommend enough!

My husband and I were fortunate enough to work with Lauren Gordon of Cherish Events for our wedding on October 1, 2022. Lauren was incredibly responsive, provided so much guidance...
as we made decisions throughout the planning process, kept us to a fabulous timeline, and brought us SO much peace/joy on the big day. If it were possible to give Cherish Events 100 stars, we would. Even during a hurricane (yes, we were married in the heart of a hurricane), Lauren's calm energy kept us confident that the day would be perfect - which it was. I am already excited for my sister to get engaged so that Lauren and Cherish Events can assist with her day-of-coordination. Our big day wouldn't have been the same without Lauren!
I could not ask for anything more from a planner!! Lauren was so attentive, professional, friendly, and thorough. She was always just a phone call away with any question or concern...
. She made sure that my husband and I felt ready and confident that our day would go off without a hitch. AND IT DID. Our wedding was truly amazing and it was in large part thanks to Lauren and team. She made THE most detailed timeline of the day, ensured that everyone got where they needed to be on time, made sure all vendors were prepped and ready to go, organized our run through, oversaw setup at the venue, served as a family wrangler when needed (family photos can be SO hard to get through!), and was a source of calm in what can be a pretty hectic day. If I had to pick one must-have vendor from my wedding, it would be Lauren and the Cherish events team. Thank you thank you thank you!!
I’d just like to say that if you’re a bride who will need your planners to be on point & adjust to chaos with positive energy, book Cherished Events NOW! If you’re a bride that is ...
type A (like me) and need professionals to assist with some decision-making and suggestions, book Cherished Events, NOW! If you’re a bride that wants a seamless experience and a team that can capture random yet AMAZING photos then make a reel that goes viral, book Cherished Events NOW! If you’re a bride and want intelligent planners who will become family, answer your random emails or texts, and will treat you as if you’re royalty, book Cherished Events NOW! Still not sure?! Really??!! Then book a consultation and learn why you should book! Seriously my new Hubs and I can’t say enough great things about Lauren + Ashley and my bonus site-planner Lindsey! They felt every emotion we felt, did their best to ensure we were living in the moment, and didn’t play about making sure that we were hydrated (water + libations), and fed! You are in great hands and won’t have to worry about the details as they’ve thought of them all and our masterminds to say the least!
Lauren and Ashley with Cherish Events are the dream team you want when planning your wedding. As a couple who postponed their first wedding date and were planning from out of state...
, Cherish Events made the wedding planning process easy. We talked with a few planners at the beginning of the wedding planning process and my husband and I knew instantly that they were the perfect fit for us. They have the experience and know the best vendors to work with. Everything we threw at them they handled it like the pros they are. I would call, text, or email them something I was stressing about and they were always there to take that stress away. I am a scattered brained person and can have a hard time picturing the final product. Ashley and Lauren were able to understand what I was looking to create and were a big help with the design aspect. Their planning site helped my family and I stay organized.
I give them all the credit for helping me plan my dream wedding. They did so much behind the scenes and I’ll forever be grateful for them keeping organized our most important day. I have to add, on top of being the best in the business, they are the funnest people to work with. Honestly during the planning process you feel like you are the third best friend to the group. Our officiant said if he was ever to plan another wedding, he’d come to me. He doesn’t need me, he needs Cherish Events!! I would recommend these women to everyone.
I recently got married and had Lauren and Ashley help me with event planning and day of coordination. They were incredibly patient, insanely knowledgable and solutions oriented alo...
ng the entire journey. Our planning process was a bit longer due to COVID, however, Lauren and Ashley were extremely nimble, flexible and accommodating with all of the many iterations and changes to the event. I had the pleasure of working with Lauren specifically, being based in NYC. Lauren's quick decision making was essential to many key elements that helped make our wedding totally unique and special. I am definitely a type A personality/control freak, but Lauren handled all of my questions with grace and professionalism. She guided my husband and I through the planning timeline, the event details and everything we needed to know to feel prepared. I know that the service from Cherish is exceptional simply because I have heard horror stories from my friends who had unreliable or flaky planners. If I could work with Lauren again, I would do so in a heartbeat, and would happily recommend both Lauren and Ashley/the whole Cherish team to any couple who is considering a wedding planner!
Hiii - you are probably reading this to "make the best decision" on which wedding planning team to move forward with as did I and WOW can I share a secret with you? You are procras...
tinating and someone may already be booking your wedding date with Cherish Events now. So don't wait, just book. TRUST ME!!!
Lauren & Ashley went above and beyond - exceeded expectations and more. I made a promise to work with vendors who genuinely cared about me, my fiance, our big day, our culture, and everything single person who would be attending our wedding. Which is way bigger than a day - it's a life milestone and forever memory. I am so eternally grateful for Ashley and Lauren. They truly were invested in our love story and were extremely committed to creating an experience through this process. I went forward with day-of coordination and had access to them whenever I needed them during their work hours.
When we were a month out from the wedding - it was down to the wire and I was STRESSED hahaha - can you believe they walked through every SINGLE detail I had for the wedding ... the meeting lasted 3 freaking hours, mostly because I am extra and there were a ton of moving parts. When were done - I immediately knew I made the right decision with Cherish Events. We stayed in touch via email. text and their online platform that provided structure to my vision. Ii was able to input my vendors and they took control from there. They even took the lead on a vendor who was extremely hard to work with - forever grateful.
On the big day - Ashley and Lauren were on the ground and took the lead. Just to paint the picture, it was a 250 person wedding with 10 groomsmen, 10 bridesmaids, 4 outfit changes for me as the bride, and 15+ vendors. I did not have to worry about anything and I FULLY enjoyed myself that day & as a bonus, they captured some BOMB behind-the-scenes content.

If you made it this far in my novel - bless you and you hopefully are 100% convinced. The will be the best investment you can make for your mental health & wedding day. TRUST ME - BOOK CHERISH EVENTS!
From the very first contact to the last minutes outside the venue after the wedding, these ladies were the epitome of professionalism and expertise. Lauren, Lindsey and Ashley made...
sure my daughter's wedding was nothing short of magical. We utilized their champagne package since I was pretty sure I didn't need hand holding throughout all of the planning stages, but knew I needed someone for the day of and possibly the last two weeks prior. I cannot express how much I probably would have forgotten had they not been there to remind me about all the last minutes details that don't necessarily come to mind quickly. They responded to every email, question or concern within 24hrs. Their attention to details, kindness and sincere concern for our happiness was the icing on the cake!!I gave them 5 stars, but in my book they deserve a 10/10! Book them now then sit back enjoy.
Lauren, Ashley & the entire cherish team made my wedding weekend go off without a hitch! They were efficient, helpful, PATIENT, loving and caring on the MOST important day of our l...
ives.
It was so comforting to know this group of highly talented and professional ladies had my back and knew my *vision* and took care of our every want & need. They even learned code hand signals LOL. Talk about being in tune with your clients! The most pleasant surprise and greatest gifts were the behind the scene photos and videos they took of the weekend!! Imagine waking up the morning after your wedding to the most special moments captured beautifully in an instagram reel. We were all blown away and couldn't be more grateful. If you are seeking wedding coordinators for the whole planning process, partial, day of, month of, etc etc LOOK NO FURTHER. Thank you, sweet friends - you hold a special place in our heart! xo, Ally Icardi Mandel & Mike Mandel
Lauren’s services were the engagement gift we didn’t know we needed. Head over heels with just a few weeks to plan a long distance party, she hit every mark and then some. She was ...
always available in person and via text, never letting anything slip through the cracks. She also managed to have a stunning smile and style, too. I’m so grateful for her and her team for making sure our engagement party went off without a hitch. From walk throughs of the venue, to a custom made ground plan. From a personalized budget to finding a florist I will use over and over again. I highly recommend Cherish Events! Five stars and a standing ovation! - James Henry and Mansa Ra
Married 9/3/21 & Words will never express how grateful my husband & I are to Cherish Events.. from the first inital phone call we just clicked, there was no denying i had to work w...
ith them, i felt like wow finally im talking with someone who not only gets it, but i KNOW will make good on their promises & sure enough, they did.. ABOVE & BEYOND. we had to postpone our wedding due to covid & Lauren didnt miss a beat, she was there in every way even emotionally; thats when i knew its more than a business to them, they are just caring, compassionate people who want the couple to have the best day of their lives. All my vendors told me how amazing Cherish was, there was no waiting around for them and there was no stepping on toes, everyone did their part & they made sure it meshed well. Our timeline meeting was so informative & Ashley & Lauren were just as warm & helpful as they had been for the past year & a half; they helped with anything i wasnt sure about & gave the best advice. All the emails, tasks were so organized, table seating was so easy because of the website they use & they were always sooo responsive. Im getting emotional just writing this because our wedding day was flawless, Lauren was so on top of things & big shout out to Tara for being so amazing as well. Best decision i made during this whole wedding was having Cherish Events be a part of it, Lauren truly became a good friend, my family LOVED HER & Tara. If something went wrong the day of i honestly wouldnt know & im telling you, if you are a bride or groom / couple and you want some one whos going to not only have your back leading up to the wedding, but someone who will make sure you have the most easy going day, book. My husband & I will forever be grateful
Truly, I cannot say enough positive things about Cherish Events and Lauren and Ashley. Whatever I say in this review will not even come close to how much we loved working with them...
. I opted for a partial planning option, as I had already had a few of my big vendors booked. They took my vision and executed it to a T. They helped to provide recommendations for any vendors I needed help with, and they made sure that I didn't ever fall behind on my planning, without adding stress or making me feel like I wasn't in control. They are so detail-oriented, they covered things I had never even thought about. Come wedding day, they did everything from fluffing my dress, to organizing the bridal party, to even passing out wedding favors to guests! They were so attentive to both of us, and they stayed until the very last dance. We truly were able to enjoy our day and not worry about a single thing. As an added bonus, they took so many cute pictures and videos throughout the day, I was able to get a fun sneak peak video and pictures the very next day. Honestly I could go on and on, but just stop your search now and go with Cherish Events!

Couldn't ask for anything more!
The ladies at Cherish truly put our wedding day over the top. Lauren was there to help guide us throughout...
the process, answering questions, and giving suggestions. With so many unknowns of how this year would come to be, Lauren always gave us confidence that everything would go beautifully. When our day finally arrived, having Lauren, Ashley, and Lindsey there was the biggest blessing. They took care of everything and helped us to have the most wonderful night. I will be forever grateful for my experience with these amazing women, and will recommend them over and over again!
Cherish did an amazing job at our wedding! We hired them to be the day-of coordinators. Ashley was friendly, easy to work with and so helpful! Our photographer recommended Cherish ...
and we were not disappointed. Cherish was communicative, answered all our questions, and so kind as we tried to plan during a pandemic.
Cherish made our day go so smoothly and we were at ease knowing that things were being taken care of. I really feel like they went above and beyond. You will love working with them!
Where to even begin, without these lovely ladies, my wedding day would have not been as beautiful as it was! When I got engaged, I immediately knew I was using Cherish Events. I ha...
d known Ashley from working with her at a previous job and watched, from a distance, their business grow. I never knew, though, how much I truly needed these two ladies with me, not just the day of, but throughout my entire wedding journey. Lauren and Ashley are extremely professional and met every crazy need of mine over the past year.
Ashley’s creative eye took spark when it came to our venue and the transformation of it all was spectacular! And Lauren’s organizational skills blew me away and dealt with my stress/every little question leading up to and the day of with so much pose! These girls’ detail to perfection is absolutely undeniable!
My wedding day, honestly, would not have been what it was without them! I am forever grateful for all that they did for myself and my family, even watching my baby daughter at times!
I had no idea what I wanted out of a wedding planner. My mom and I are extremely organized and knew what vendors we wanted so, why would we need a wedding planner? BOY WERE WE WRON...
G!
Cherish events was the best thing (besides getting married) that could've happened to my wedding day. From their wedding software to their general supportiveness they really do become your new best friends. Lauren was my day of coordinator and came so prepared. Took my cell phone and room key, made sure I was attended to at all times and was amazing at herding the chaotic people who made up my bridal party. All the while Ashley was at the reception KILLING IT and organizing every vendor possible.
I never had to worry about one thing with Cherish Events. I want them to plan the rest of my life. I am obsessed with them.
Deciding to hire Cherish Events was the best decision I could have made for my wedding day! Lauren and Ashley are extremely professional, but are also your day-of wedding bffs! I f...
elt very comfortable they had everything handled the entire day. Their communication during the wedding planning process and rehearsal was outstanding, and my family was very impressed. The timeline they distributed to my vendors was beautifully made and extremely detailed. Brides, If you want a worry free and fun wedding, stop searching and inquire with them ASAP.
First, hiring Cherish events was and will always be the best decision I ever made! Lauren and her team were so professional, kind and caring. Let me give you a little back story....
..Our wedding was truly done on a very strict budget. My now-husband and I really tried our best to make our dollar go as far as it possibly could. One of the items on our list that at first was going to be a no go was hiring a wedding planner. I know from previous weddings I've been a part of, having this service can really eat into your budget. After thinking it through and knowing how meticulous I am about things, I just knew I wasn't going to enjoy the day of if I had to be the one coordinating everything. So... after a long discussion with my fiancé, we decided we would reach out and see what kind of day of planning we could afford. After long hours of research, I stumbled upon Cherish Events. Reading other reviews, I knew I wanted more information, so I sent out an email. Within hours I got a response from Lauren and she sent me the packages they had to offer, and my heart sank. None of their packages fit into what we could afford so I wrote back and explained our situation to Lauren. Thinking we were going to have to find something else I received an email back and Lauren was so gracious to help customize a package to fit our needs and budget. After hiring Cherish for Day of Coordination I expected to not really hear much from them until we got closer to the wedding, but I was wrong. Lauren was there to help, from afar, every step of the way. When I finally met her in person it was like we had already known each other. Lauren was so on point and so encouraging every step of the way and really helped put me at ease. Our wedding was the best day ever. Lauren and Savannah helped make it perfect. I knew I could relax with my girls and enjoy the moments without having to worry about who was where and if my vision would come together. Thank you, ladies. You truly are amazing!
Cherish Events - hands down THE BEST! I did a custom package - a little more than partial planning. From start to finish they were on top of it. Even living 2 hours away - their co...
mmunication was on point, which to me was so important since we live in different cities. They made sure I was taken care of and felt so comfortable during this whole process. The day of they killed it! Made sure EVERYTHING was in place and ran smoothly. They made our day that much more special and unforgettable. They are truly talented at what they do. Plus they are super sweet and I am grateful that I was able to work with them this past year and a half. Highly recommended. Thank you again Lauren and Ashley - you guys are ROCK STARS. Love youuu!
There really aren’t enough words to express how truly grateful I am for Lauren & Ashley! Going into wedding planning and knowing that I only had 6 months to make the biggest day of...
our life happen, I was understandably nervous! From the first phone call, Lauren & Ashley helped put my fears to rest and assured me that not only was it achievable, it would be amazing! And guess what, they were right!! Throughout the process they gave me many wonderful vendor recommendations, answered the many many questions I had, and kept me feeling like everything was under control. The wedding planning software they use helped keep me on top of the big tasks at hand (but also focused on making sure the little details were done, too). Going into our wedding day, I had not one worry in the world. Okay, maybe some worries...! But once I arrived at the venue and spoke to them, I knew I had nothing to be worried about at all. Lauren & Ashley made sure we were able to focus on enjoying the day and with them handling everything else, it went so smoothly! The professionalism combined with their kind & friendly personalities made working with them so easy. I cannot thank you both enough! Future wifeys in the market for a wedding planner, hiring Cherish Events is a must to ensuring your wedding day is wonderful!
