Lisa and the Cherish the Day team were fantastic to work with. After every call or meeting we left with our questions answered, our vision understood, our minds at ease and even more excited for our wedding. Most of our vendors were recommendations from Lisa and they did a fantastic job collaborating with us. Not only was Lisa helpful in navigating the planning process, she was invaluable coordinating on the day of our wedding and never hesitated to go the extra mile to ensure everything went off without a snag. Cherish the Day exceeded our expectations and we highly recommend reaching out to Lisa!
Cherish the Day was INCREDIBLE to work with! Lisa becomes your person and is determined to create the day of your dreams. I initially thought I could handle all the wedding planning myself but quickly realized I was becoming less excited about the big day and more stressed, anxious and quite frankly, over it! I called on the help of Lisa and she immediately eased my stress and worry with all her helpful planning tools and advice. She was incredibly responsive to my many questions and concerns and worked well with all of our vendors to ensure the day went off without a hitch. If you truly want to “cherish your day”, you need to have Cherish the Day plan your wedding! We are beyond thankful for Lisa and Scott being a part of our day!
Originally I wasn't going to have a day-of-planner and let me tell you, Lisa is 10000x worth every penny (even more!!). The night before/day of my wedding I was so stressed out (and not always the nicest) due to the Venue's coordinator being awful. Lisa did such a great job of reassuring me everything was going to be ok and that she would get it all figured out. My wedding day would truly not have been successful without Lisa and I could not recommend her (and her wonderful husband) more.
I can’t say enough about how amazing Lisa was throughout the planning of and on the day of our wedding! We are in NY, but got married at the Field of Dreams in Iowa, so Lisa made every effort to meet with us remotely at a time that worked best for us and find other amazing Iowa vendors. She sent us so many ideas and reminders and coordinated with our vendors which made the planning so much easier!
Getting married at the Field of Dreams, we wanted our wedding to have a baseball theme, but no be too hokey. Lisa gave great ideas to make our day perfect. On the day of, Lisa had a timeline that we followed (with a some flexibility when necessary) and everything went flawlessly! She was extremely hands on—even her husband helped handle our dog between events when he needed help! We had nothing to worry about once things started rolling because Lisa had it all handled and coordinated our vendors to ensure that all of our needs were met.
I highly recommend Lisa and would definitely do more events with her if we ever return to Iowa!
We had an amazing wedding and so much of it is thanks to Lisa! She ensured we had the perfect timeliness be and was in consistent communication with our . We had the perfect wedding and couldn’t have done it without her!
Lisa and Scott were literally THE BEST decision I made for my wedding! Lisa made sure everything was perfect leading up to the big day and they both ensured I didn’t have to worry about anything the day of! She has a list of vendors that she’s had great success with (so if you’re like me and completely overwhelmed with options, this is the PERFECT planner for you!). Most importantly they ensure YOUR vision is carried out! I HIGHLY recommend Cherish The Day for all Iowa weddings!
When my daughter got engaged, we were feeling overwhelmed with the prospect of wedding planning. We found Lisa & Cherish the Day online, read all the great reviews and contacted her. She was prompt in returning our inquiry and very friendly and professional in an online consultation and we decided on her quickly as our wedding planner/coordinator. A wonderful decision! Lisa is very attentive to detail, knowledgeable about the wedding industry & vendors in the Iowa City/Cedar Rapids area, and had even worked weddings at our venue (Hotel Millwright in Amana) so knew the property and staff there (which was extremely helpful). She met with the bride & groom in person & online and was very attentive to emails/texts from them and me. She helped keep my daughter accountable for each step in the planning process so they didn't get behind in planning and kept in touch with our vendors and on top of our contract details. She brings many ideas to the table from weddings she's been part of in the past but also mainly wants to help execute the day to include your dreams and desires. One of the best things was the TIMELINE she put together to give to the wedding party to keep everyone on the same page and things running smoothly for makeup, hair, pictures, etc, on the wedding day. Lisa did a super job running the rehearsal and on the wedding day, she and her husband, Scott, were incredible - keeping things on time and they were ready to help with whatever issues came up with a smile. Lisa is able to take charge gracefully so you can relax and enjoy the day. She also brought an awesome bag of emergency items that was very helpful. We received many comments from the wedding party, family and guests about how smooth and non-stressful the wedding felt which was due to Lisa & Cherish the Day! My son has been in multiple weddings lately and said none were as well planned & executed as this one. I consider Lisa & Scott friends and would HIGHLY recommend Cherish the Day to anyone - they helped create a storybook wedding for my daughter and son-in-law!
I had the pleasure of working with Lisa, from Cherish the Day as my wedding coordinator, and I can't express how grateful I am for their exceptional service. From the initial consultation to the big day, Cherish the Day went above and beyond, surpassing all my expectations.
Her attention to detail was outstanding, ensuring that every aspect of the event was flawlessly executed. Cherish the Day not only listened to my vision but also added creative touches that elevated the entire experience. Her organizational skills were evident in the seamless coordination of vendors, timelines, and all the intricate details that go into making a wedding day special.
What truly stood out was their dedication and passion for Her work. Cherish the Day demonstrated a genuine commitment to making our day perfect, and their positive attitude and calm demeanor were a source of reassurance throughout the planning process. They handled unexpected challenges with grace, allowing me to fully enjoy the celebration without any stress.
If you're looking for a wedding coordinator who is not only professional and efficient but also brings a personal touch to your special day, I wholeheartedly recommend Cherish the Day. Thank you for making our wedding a truly magical and unforgettable experience!
We could not have done it without Lisa! We connected to late in the process for their coordinating services. We were absolutely blown away by how thorough her coordinating skills were, especially with the vendors, allowing our family and us to actually enjoy the day!
A lot of things happened last minute, our point of contact at the venue was replaced a week before the wedding and the musicians we had hired were no longer willing to play. Lisa diligently navigated everyone through with absolutely ideal results.
I struggle to relax in situations like this, and have extremely high standards. Lisa not only met my standards, she exceeded them, all while making me fell so taken care of and special! Our wedding could not have gone more smoothly. She valued what was important to us and showed that through her execution of every aspect. Our wedding day was beyond perfect, and we have Lisa to thank for that!
We highly recommend Cherish the Day for wedding planning and coordinating needs! We used Lisa for day of coordinating and it was so helpful. We weren't sure if we really needed it but we are so glad that we did. Lisa was professional with us and all our vendors, she listened to what we wanted, and handled anything that came up. She was very prepared and gave great advise when asked. We can't say enough good things, book with her!!
Incredible experience with Lisa at Cherish The Day. I lived two states over and needed someone who knew the local area for my daughter’s wedding. Lisa was so knowledgeable about vendors, timetables, troubleshooting, etc. Easy to communicate with, responded quickly to all questions. She even chased down vendors when they wouldn’t get back to us. She was a liaison with church personnel at the rehearsal and made sure the wedding day was smooth. What a relief as the MOB not to have to think about issues. When she noticed the “picture booth” had no back ground, she suggested we take the arch/greenery/signage behind the head table to the area after dinner. It was perfect!! Lisa had a portable kit with her for any troubleshooting and she kept an eye on things at the reception. Reasonably priced but worth more! Lisa gets the highest recommendation from our family.
I was looking for someone to essentially "take over the day" with decisions and problem-solving. We had been extensively involved with much of the planning but on the wedding day I wanted to be on auto-pilot and just enjoy the day as my son married the girl of his dreams. Lisa allowed me to do just that. She even reminded me that was what her purpose was that day. I truly did "cherish the day" and am so glad that we were able to have Lisa and her assistant/husband help us with this. During the planning process, Lisa was very receptive and speedy in her responses to my questions/ideas. Her wealth of knowledge about what is needed to plan a successful wedding is very different than when I was married over 35 years ago and I appreciated her expertise.
We could not recommend Cherish the Day enough!! I’ve been raving to anyone who asks—and even those who don’t—about working with Lisa. I initially started looking for “Day Of” coordinators when Lisa presented her “Month Of” package. It was the perfect amount of help for someone who was willing to do all of the legwork of finding and selecting vendors and just wanted assistance with the communication and execution once it was closer to the wedding date. We met with Lisa over a year before the wedding just so we could talk about our vision for our wedding and to see what areas we might need help in. She gave vendor recommendations when needed and made sure I had checklists to stay on track with booking everything. With her experience, she asked us questions about things we didn’t even realize we need to consider and gave suggestions if we were struggling. The best part was that she handled all of the vendor communication in the month leading up to the wedding, and she built the most detailed timeline for us (bridal party and vendors) to follow. My goal was to have someone that any and all questions could be directed to so that I didn’t have to add any stress—Lisa was that person and so, so much more. Both Lisa and her assistant (there on the day of) are amazing to work with—so personal and professional at the same time and there every step of the day. Cherish the Day is truly one of the best investments we made for our wedding!!
My overall experience with Cherish the Day was amazing, and their name stood true to that as I was truly able to Cherish the Day due to Lisa and her Husband. Lisa was in our corner from booking through the day of. She kept in contact with us every few months to ensure the planning process was moving along and often asked if we needed assistance. Leading up to our wedding day, Lisa coordinated with all vendors, ensured they were aligned on arrival times and contract fulfillment. Lisa even created a day of timeline that helped our vendors, family and friends know what to expect for rehearsal and wedding day. On the day of our wedding, Lisa keep everyone calm and in order throughout the day. She was a huge part in ensuring we stayed on schedule for the photographer, the ceremony, and reception. She brought kindness and a relaxing environment to not only the bride and groom but also the bridal party, who often complimented her services. Lisa and her Husband were also key in making sure the bride and groom took private moments for themselves, were properly feed and hydrated, and remained calm & relaxed. I would highly recommend Cherish the Day services to anyone getting married, and looking for a day of coordinator. We debated getting a planner and coordinator but went with just the coordinator and it was perfect for our budget and needs. Their services are extremely affordable and worthy of all the praise.
Lisa handled everything!! :)
Lisa and her husband were absolutely amazing! I am so glad I had her for my wedding. She organized everything from vendors to the wedding party, helped set up, and literally got me anything I wanted and needed. Lisa and her husband were so sweet and even babysat our two yorkies most of the day while photos were being taken. No task was too big or small and I really appreciate everything they did. I would highly recommend her services because it took a huge weight of my shoulders.
I cannot say enough good things about Lisa. My husband and I have agreed that having Lisa as our day of coordinator was the single best investment we made for our wedding day. I can’t imagine how the day would have been without her. She took care of everything for us, which allowed us to relax and really enjoy the day. And while we hired her as a day of coordinator, Lisa was sharing checklists with us, reaching out to vendors to confirm, creating the timeline, and many other things well before the actual wedding day. If you are on the fence about hiring a coordinator, I would strongly recommend hiring Lisa. She will help make your day perfect!
Everything we could have asked for, Lisa Syring delivered. She was comprehensive! Helped us manage our logistics and (maybe even more importantly!) our emotions ahead of our wedding. She was there for us all day on our big day and was a gentle yet firm hand when needed to move things along. We had a stunning experience getting married and Lisa was a huge huge help behind the scenes. Can't recommend her enough.
After my daughter got engaged, I started a binder to organize all the contracts and details. Not too long after, we hired Lisa to coordinate the day-of, and I realized quickly that I no longer had to manage that binder. Lisa was always on top of everything and organized the details, including all those I would have never thought of myself. She was always professional, sweet and patient, and she made the process fun. I actually slept the night before the wedding knowing the details of the big day were in her hands. Thanks to Lisa, my daughter’s wedding was everything imagined and more, and I was able to cherish every moment!
Lisa exceeded my expectations on the eve and day of my son's wedding. She provided us with excellent and professional service allowing us all to enjoy the day with no worries. I highly recommend her services.
Lisa was absolutely fabulous. There is no way we could have gotten through the wedding planning process or the day without her. She is so sweet, professional, and organized. She was always available to give the best advice or to ca lm any pre-wedding nerves. She has such a passion for her work and making sure the day goes so smooth for the bride, groom, and their families. I would highly recommend Lisa and Cherish the Day to absolutely any bride or groom looking for an incredible individual to help aid in the planning process.
We are so thankful for all that Lisa and Scott did to make our day so special. From day one, Lisa was all over each and every detail surrounding our wedding. She noticed important items in contracts that we had missed and brought them to our attention. She was in constant contact with our vendors and on the day of the wedding she made sure everything moved along effortlessly with precision. We did not have to worry about a thing and we were free to enjoy the day due her efforts. In fact, after the wedding we learned of some situations that she handled, which we had no idea occurred! For example, we learned that our cake started to sink into itself and Lisa got it fixed so it was perfect for the cutting - we had no idea! Cherish the Day exceeded our expectations and we give them our highest recommendation!
Lisa was the best! I couldn't have gotten through my wedding without her!
My husband and I got married last fall on October 23rd and could not of done it without Lisa. At first I was hesitant about if we needed a planner but after our first talk with Lisa I realized 100% we did. Lisa handles everything for you to help make your day run as smoothly as possible for you. She handled any issue we had with vendors, helped answer all hundred of my questions throughout, and was always there to help us advert any crisis. She is professional, kind, fun to work with, and very good at what she does. She gave us check lists which let us know what we needed to do and when throughout and she helped us think of all the little things you forget (trust me there’s a lot), down to every detail. She ran our rehearsal which I never would’ve known how to and made sure our wedding day stayed right on track. She is like your wedding manager and keeps everyone in line. I can not say enough good things about Lisa. If you are questioning if you should hire her, this is your sign. Don’t walk, run! We are so thankful we found Lisa and that she was such a huge part of our special day.
Cherish the Day is absolutely amazing! Lisa was extremely helpful throughout the wedding planning process. She answered all of my questions promptly and had good ideas. Having Lisa and Scott on our wedding day helped alleviate stress as they ensured everything ran smoothly. They went above and beyond for my husband and I on our wedding day and we are thankful that they were there. Cherish the Day is worth the investment!
Holy cow, I don't know what I'd have done without her. Besides making me feel she had about all the details covered for the stressful weeks before the wedding, she was my rock at the wedding. The day goes by so fast and there are so many things to do, she was there in the background making sure they were done and everything ran smoothly. All I had to do was enjoy the celebration.
We had a sprawling wedding that required an organized, efficient, and knowledgeable wedding coordinator. Lisa at Cherish the Day hit the mark on all of these characteristics and more! We can't thank her enough for making our day perfect.
Lisa was an absolute pleasure to work with and, I'm convinced, made my wedding day more perfect than I could have dreamed of. I would 10,000% recommend her for anyone looking for help planning/coordinating their day!
what a tremendous help with wedding planning and day of coordinator!!! so much help before the wedding and day of wedding such a great help with setitng up tables and helping with all the details of the day- highly highly recommend!
Lisa is amazing and definitely worth the money! If you have anxiety or stress about your day she really helps take on all of the questions and anything that could possibly go wrong she is on top of. Highly recommend the coordination package!
Lisa was an absolute GODSEND. Seriously, I can't imagine how our wedding would have gone without her. She is so sweet, organized, and determined. We trusted her completely because she is clearly an expert at what she does. Because of her, we didn't have to worry about anything on our wedding day - and it all went super smoothly! If you want peace of mind, go with Lisa. She made all of the difference for our special day and we will always remember that. Thank you for everything and we miss you already, Lisa! Love, Ashley & Kevin
Look no further and hire Lisa!!
From our very first meeting, I knew I needed Lisa on our team. I thought I could handle everything on my own (how hard could planning a wedding be?), but I’m SO glad we hired Lisa!
Lisa thinks of EVERYTHING! Day of, everything is ready to go. Should something come up, she’s on it and truly will make the best decision for you and your love. Lisa’s service allowed us to really enjoy our day, no stress!
You won’t regret hiring Lisa!
Lisa is an excellent communicator/organizer and kept us on track with all the pre-wedding details. She was vital on our wedding day and helped make the day non-stressful for everyone involved. Her husband even came to help!
We had a wonderful experience working with Lisa! It was worth every dime. Her knowledge and coordination of the event helped us so much. It took a huge amount of stress off of us for the day so we could absolutely enjoy everything! We highly recommend her!!
Fantastic company and highly recommend. If you want it done right these are the people you should hire.
Words can not describe just how amazing Lisa was on our wedding day! I myself am a stickler for timelines and nothing makes me crazier than when things don’t run on time. I knew after our first initial Zoom call that Lisa was someone I could trust to keep the entire day running on track. Of course I couldn’t help myself and questioned things on our wedding day, but every time I asked Lisa a question she was two steps ahead of me and had it all taken care of! I can honestly say that I was not stressed at all the day of our wedding! I also received multiple compliments following the big day (from our officiant and my mother-in-law) on how wonderful Lisa was! I think the exact words were ‘your wedding planner was a BOSS’. I would highly recommend Lisa to anyone!
Lisa is such an amazing planner and an overall sweet person inside and out. She is great at what she does and has the knowledge and experience for planning spectacular weddings. She is very organized and goes above and beyond not only for the couple but for their families and guests. I highly recommend that you at least talk to her about what she can do to make your special day the best ever and stress-free. Trust me you’ll be amazed.
We had a large farm wedding that had many moving parts and not easy to navigate. Lisa did such a good job of communicating with everyone, orchestrating the rehearsal and keeping everything moving despite many obstacles the day of our wedding. It went off without a hitch because of her and she was simply amazing on the day of the wedding. Calm, fun personality, organized, decisive..I could go on and on. I am a wedding photographer so am used to working with many wedding vendors and she is one of the best vendors I have ever worked with. I recommend her to all of my clients looking for a planner. If you want someone that will go above and beyond and stay happy and fun-look no further!!
Lisa really stepped up when our original planner couldn't be there on the date of our wedding, but you would have thought she was planning with us the whole time! She was so thoughtful and a calming presence for me, while making sure everyone else was where they needed to be and doing what they needed to do! If anything did go wrong that day, she made sure that it was not my problem. Her husband Scott even served as engineering for a light display issue and security for some wedding crashers. Book Lisa and you will have the best wedding day ever :)
Lisa and Scott are AMAZING!!!! We were planning a wedding in my hometown in iowa from out of state. We found Lisa, and thank God!!! She helped keep us on task leading up the wedding, always willing to offer suggestions and insight, extremely responsive, ready to jump in whenever needed.
Then came the day of the wedding, and THANK GOD again!!! Lisa and Scott made our lives so much easier, took care of all of the details, made sure we were taken care of, and took away much of the stress of the day.
I would absolutely recommend Lisa, as she is knowledgeable, responsive, and always willing to jump in.
Lisa with Cherish the Day was recommended to me by one of my best friends as soon as I got engaged! I was engaged at the same time as some of my other friends and let me tell you, Lisa is a LIFE SAVER! She was so kind, honest, and professional and made sure to keep us on task with regular check ins. Her checklists literally saved me from not thinking of tiny details that would have mattered. I honestly cannot even imagine what my day would have been like without her. Not to mention our 2020 wedding was postponed and she helped ensure all new contracts were settled and helped replan what we had spent all that time working on!
My one piece of advice to all newly engaged couples, budget for a planner...specifically Cherish the Day 🙂 You will be so happy you did!
If you are looking for a wedding planner or day of coordinator, look no further! Lisa is absolutely amazing. We had met with other wedding coordinators before picking Cherish the Day, however, we ultimately picked them because we knew Lisa would listen to what we wanted while also providing her input. We hired her for day of coordination and let me tell you, she did so much more than that. She frequently checked in with us in the year and months leading up to the wedding. Whenever we hit a problem planning she was there to help offer suggestions to find a solution. She was an essential part of our day, weekend, and planning process. When things came up on our wedding day that were unexpected and out of our control we knew we didn't have to worry. Lisa was there to take care of it. She was also a pleasure to work with and her husband was the perfect assistant! They make a great team! Lisa genuinely cares about every couple and helping them have amazing memories to look back on from their perfect day. She is there to make your day stress free so you can truly cherish it!
Lisa was so great to work with and kept everything running without a hitch! Thought of all the little things so we didn’t have to. Would hire her again in an instant!!
I would consider Cherish the Day as a necessary investment if you are not as organized and are a new bride. I only give Cherish the Day 4/5 stars because of the plan I chose, I did most of the planning while my planner guided me through every step of the way.
Lisa was very helpful, reliable and a reassuring presence on the day of our wedding. She was pushy when necessary, respectfully, and she always made sure that whatever decision we made was what we wanted and she made it happen.
When we were looking for a wedding planner we were looking for one that was within our budget and was amiable enough to feel comfortable to be around. We found that in Lisa and we could not have asked for a better wedding planner.
Cherish the Day made sure that everyone knew what they were doing, where they were going, and what their role was. Lisa met made sure everything was smooth and worry free. I don't recall being worried about anything and just enjoying our wedding and having fun. I would highly recommend Cherish the Day to anyone who needs assistance for their special day. Please consider Lisa as your planner, you will be thankful that you did.
If wedding planning was an Olympic sport, Lisa would have a slew of gold medals! She has amazing attention to detail and can adapt to any situation. There was never a point when it didn’t seem like she was on top of it. If something did go wrong she was always ready with a solution.
Lisa Syring was excellent and her support staff great. Hard working, prompt, professional, friendly and kind. Great people to work with and I would highly recommend Lisa. John S.
Lisa is absolutely amazing. She is very professional and organized. She worked with couple to plan a perfect day. The wedding rehearsal and wedding ran so smoothly and as Mother of the Bride, I loved that I could trust her running the show and I could enjoy the weekend without a worry. I highly recommend !!
After the excitement of my daughter's engagement, I soon realized I was faced with planning a wedding. I had never done one and I was completely overwhelmed. I needed help. I didn't know anything about what wedding planners do but I reached out to Cherish the Day. Lisa immediately set up a Zoom call with the bride and groom. She asked them many questions and discussed what they envisioned their wedding day to look like. And then we had a plan!! And from that day forward I worried about nothing. Lisa gave us advise, support , and answered all my random questions I threw at her day and night. She led us through the entire planning process and kept us on track , all while keeping in constant contact with the bride and groom. She was not only professional but lots of fun to work with! On wedding day, she showed up with all our vendor contracts in hand, making sure everything was delivered as planned. If something went wrong, I never knew about and still don't know! She blessed us with a day full of love and memories and absolutely no stress. PRICELESS! So now that I know what a wedding planner does, I can't imagine not having one. And we definately had the best! We can't thank her enough!
Lisa (Cherish the Day) was my wedding planner, and let me tell you..you need one!! She took care of every single detail that you could think of! She was exceptionally organized and had everything under control for us. She coordinated with vendors, made phone calls, went to numerous meetings with us, and so much more. And that was just before the wedding. On wedding day, she was literally our backbone. She made sure everything was done, the timeline was perfect, people were lined up, etc. All I had to do was relax and have fun. She went above and beyond for us and we were SO grateful to have her.
We booked with Lisa prior to COVID with the desire to let our day be as stress free as possible for us. Then COVID happened and we couldn't have been more lucky to have Lisa by our side working with us and our vendors as we navigating through the process of trying to have a wedding in the middle of the pandemic.
Lisa was very supportive and helpful throughout the process. From checklists that made us aware of things we would've never thought of, to detailed timelines that kept our vendors and bridal party aware of what was happening and where on the day of the event; it felt like she truly had our backs when it came to ensuring both our guests and we had fun.
I went into booking this wedding coordinator thing with the goal of doing it to keep my fiance happy. After going through it - Lisa was the reason I kept my sanity. High recommended. Thank you Lisa!
I just want to say Lisa made our planning and our big day completely STRESS FREE! She is absolutely amazing and we would highly recommend her to anybody getting married. She is very easy to talk too and so friendly. Her and her husband are amazing.
Lisa is the best! She went above and beyond to make sure my day was perfect. She worked through all the ups and downs of dealing with a wedding during COVID! Even though I know there were a million things she was doing for me behind the scenes, she never let it show and she just made me feel so special on my wedding day. She made sure everything ran smoothly and was on top of everything! She was always VERY responsive to my emails and messages. I would highly recommend Cherish the Day to any of my family or friends. ❤️
Lisa was awesome! She took charge of the rehearsal, the photo session, and the wedding. She kept in contact with all vendors, calmed anxieties, stuck to a schedule, and the bride had no worries. Her decorators did an amazing job, and the day was perfect. I would recommend her 100%! It’s the best decision my daughter-in-law made!
Simply put, don't have your wedding without Lisa!
My wife and I interviewed quite a few planners to help with our big day but it was clear that we wanted to work with Lisa as soon as we spoke with her. Not to mention the fact that she is reasonably priced, the work she (and her team) team do is outstanding!!
Once we agreed to work with Lisa, we met a few times to go over what had already been planned and where we needed help. She took over from there and handled every detail big and small that needed attention. In addition to helping us put together a timeline for the entire weekend (down to the minute as we're two type A people :) ) she made sure everything flowed seamlessly by working with our vendors. She called all of them (floral, venues, DJ, bus, etc.) to make sure everyone was on the same page and knew when to be where on the wedding day. My wife and I planned on SOMETHING going wrong on the big day because something always goes wrong, right? Not with Lisa! The entire day went off without a hitch, it was all perfect!
Finally, I'll add that we enjoyed working with Lisa (and her AWESOME husband Scott) not only because of the great work they do but because they are great people. We were able to relate to them so easily and were entirely comfortable around them. It made our entire day all that much more stress free and enjoyable!
IF YOU HIRE A PLANNER, HIRE CHERISH THE DAY!!
I truly enjoyed working with Lisa. She went above and beyond our expectations. After our first meeting, I knew I could trust and rely on the Cherish the Day team to handle the details of our special day. I was completely at ease on my wedding day. After our wedding I found out it was Lisa's birthday. She worked so tirelessly! Thank you for everything!
Lisa was amazing at keeping me on track with all the small details!!!! Last minute going out of town the week before my wedding was stressing me out but Lisa said not to worry, she was such a vital part of my wedding and making sure everything was done. With Lisa there on the wedding day, I didn't have to worry, she made sure everything was good so I could just enjoy my day! I would not have had the wedding of my dreams without her.....
I cannot say enough amazing things about Lisa and Cherish the Day!! Lisa was so easy to work with and was very accommodating with setting up video calls with me late in the evening prior to my wedding. She thought of everything and was so prepared for any potential mishap on my special day that I didn't even know there were any mishaps because she had already taken care of them! My sister got married last year and kept saying how much she wished she would have had you for her wedding! I would highly, highly recommend Cherish the Day for any wedding 💕
Lisa was great! She made our special day everything we hoped for and more! She helped with other vendors, reviewed contracts, and even saved us money!! She thought of so many things throughout the process the made everything so seamless. For the day of our wedding she made sure every happen so we didn't have to and neither did me or my husbands family so they could enjoy everything as much as we did! I highly recommend her and she has a great assistant! :) Thank you Lisa!!!
Lisa was perfect! She worked so hard to make my daughter’s day a spectacular one. As I live 1200 miles away, I was so happy the couple had her to make things happen. I was super impressed with her organizing skills and attention to detail.
It's entirely possible that we never would have had a proper wedding without Lisa! We're both very busy with work, tend toward procrastination, and were overwhelmed with the complexity of wedding planning. But Lisa kept us on track, helped us with every important decision, and sent us timelines for every stage of wedding planning. Before the actual day of the wedding, we were already so grateful to Lisa and recognized that her fee was the best money we'd spent as part of the process. But then the day of the wedding arrived, and Lisa was even MORE critical! She could not have been more helpful. She kept the entire day moving and allowed us to just experience the day without ever having to be responsible for any logistics or scheduling. The day was magical and it really would not have been what it was without Lisa (seriously, if it weren't for her we probably would have given up during the planning process and eloped!). Overall, Lisa is cheerful, organized, funny, and her services are crucial to making a beautiful wedding happen. Thank you, Lisa!
I'll keep this short, but do know, I could write a novel about how absolutely amazing Lisa is. Lisa is very organized, professional, tactful, on point, and truly there for your special day every step of the way. My wife and I were a little skeptical at first in hiring a wedding coordinator, but Lisa met and exceeded our expectations. Our whole wedding day was a breeze and happened without incident because of Lisa. She is constantly looking for ways in which she can help, and takes direction very well. I cannot say enough about the service that Lisa and her associate provide!
Cherish the Day is the single greatest thing that my husband and I did when planning our wedding. Lisa and her team are professional, efficient, excited, and creative. Lisa is assertive and thoughtful, she is an absolute pro at navigating the industry and she excelled at vendor management. Hiring Cherish the Day gave Nick and I the freedom to spend our time focused on sentiment and family thoughout the planning process and during the wedding weekend. Lisa brought the majority of our vendors straight from her portfolio, managed the details and contracts, and reminded us happily along the way of where everything was. Nick and I never had to reach out to her or wonder where the status of all moving parts were -- Lisa was just there, on top of it, giving us peace of mind. If you're not sure about whether or not a planner is right for your wedding, it is. And Cherish the Day is.
I had the privilege of working with Lisa at a wedding at Walker Homestead! She was professional and very friendly! Awesome communication before the event, during and after! I truly feel like Lisa went above and beyond her duties and was helpful to only to the bride and groom but also to me! She helped us stick to our timeline and when asked if we could move some things around she made it happen seamlessly! I really enjoyed working with her and would LOVE to work with her again in the future!!
Cannot recommend enough! From beginning to end they were incredibly professional, passionate and positive. Thank you for elevating this industry to new heights! I hope to cross paths with you much sooner than later :) Cheers!
I cannot say enough good things about Lisa! More than any of my other vendors, Lisa truly has gone above and beyond for me and my fiancé, and I couldn’t imagine this process without her.
Early in our engagement, my fiancé and I were skeptical about the need to hire a wedding planner. After every married couple we encountered emphasized the importance of hiring a wedding planner, we decided to reconsider. Fast forward to now, and we are confident that hiring Lisa was the best decision we made in the wedding planning process. Lisa has truly gone above and beyond to help us prepare for our wedding. She has been our advocate, our advisor, and our friend, and she works tirelessly to ensure that our wedding day will be the amazing celebration we've always dreamed of! Hiring Cherish the Day has not only allowed us to maintain our sanity, but has also alleviated stress for our families. I have no doubt that come May 4th, myself, my groom, our families, and our wedding party will be able to relax and enjoy ourselves thanks to Lisa's hard work, organization, and competence.
I cannot say enough awesome things about Lisa! I only had 2 months to plan a good sized wedding and I had NOTHING done! Not one thing! She took care of basically everything for me! I am a horrible procrastinator and she still managed to make my day as amazing as i was hoping for! Worth every single penny we spent and then some! If you find yourself in a bind, CALL HER! Absolutely top notch job! She made sure everything was perfect and even reminded us about payments, invites, even the little tiny things that we had forgotten about! She is a miracle worker!
made my special day PERFECT. She was on every single detail and she was available to me whenever I needed her. I even expressed concern over not being able to find the arch I wanted and she had her husband MAKE me one so I could have the perfect arch. She was my support so many times and she always had a positive attitude! While everyone was getting their makeup done and dresses on, Lisa was running around making sure my centerpieces were just the way I wanted. She worked with all my vendors to make sure everything was as perfect as I wanted it to be and she came up with so many ideas that just took my wedding to the next level. She relieved so much stress and anxiety for our day so that my husband and I could just sit back and enjoy.
Lisa is an absolute life-saver! I spent a year plus planning but Lisa thought of details I hadn’t even thought about. She was the backbone of our day making sure everything ran on time and smoothly. She served as a buffer between me and the vendors and made sure I was not bothered on our big day. That was invaluable!!!!
Cherish the Day was very nice to work with! They made everything easy from the start. They communicated with us and as a wedding vendor it is very important to us that the wedding coordinator has great communication skills. We highly recommend Cherish the Day for your wedding day!
“Lisa was our rock for our wedding! Without instruction or direction she knew what needed to be done to help us out days before the wedding and especially the day of the wedding! Most people look over the little things but with Lisa nothing is over-looked! Thanks to her our special day went off without a hitch!”
