Cherry Blossom Weddings & Events

through the whole process, didn't make me feel like a fool for all the details I hadn't even thought of, and handled our one crisis--a DJ who showed up over an hour late--so smoothly that I never even knew it happened until well after the wedding; she didn't tell us until my husband was about to pay the guy (in case we wanted to factor that in tipping). She was also good at moving everyone through the ceremony without seeming bossy or offensive (complaints I've heard about other coordinators). I'm not planning on getting married again, but if I had a big event, I'd use her in a heartbeat.

ad so we had to fire her. We quickly had a meeting with Alison and she immediately put our mind to ease. Each step of the way, Alison was incredibly professional, creative, organized, communicative and open to all ideas. She recommended incredible vendors and also was open to new ones. Planning our wedding truly felt like a breeze. She handled all family dynamics with pose and nothing made her bat an eye. On the wedding day, everything went PERFECT. She is so incredible patient, from the load in to load out, she had every detail and part of the day under control! Her timeline was impeccable, there was no stress whatsoever. She understood our vision and it came to life better than we could have ever dreamed. Best money you will ever spend!!

the National Arboretum, and it was perfect for our needs - she was alongside us for every decision, whether it a vendor she was managing for us or not, making sure everything would come together cohesively for the wedding. As a result, I had such a wonderful experience in the wedding planning process and was able to enjoy every aspect of the year we were engaged with very little stress. Our wedding came together absolutely flawlessly. Thank you Felicia & team for your wonderful execution & making the process an absolute joy!

he is incredibly organized, kind, and calm in all situations. We've worked together on some high-need weddings and everything always runs PERFECTLY. 11 out of 10 recommend Cherry Blossom Weddings and Events!

eyond to check-in regularly and helped us work through the process slowly so that it never felt overwhelming. As we got closer to the wedding, she handled every issue, big or small, that came up. Our wedding day itself was flawless and stress-free. My husband and I were able to really enjoy the day without worrying about logistics or other details, which was such a gift. I cannot say enough good things about Jamie and the Cherry Blossom team—our wedding was perfect and I would hire them again in a heartbeat.

thought to myself was "we could be friends". Extremely professional, detail-oriented and up for the challenge, I hired Alison and CBWE right away. Our wedding was beyond our dreams. Alison and I planned every detail meticulously, with Alison always ready to offer her opinion if I asked, but always honoring my vision. CBWE has tons of experience and a great network of vendors to recommend. I trusted Alison and her team completely. Our wedding was very complex, with dozens of vendors and Alison managed them all and kept everyone organized and on track, and on budget. Our actual wedding day was flawless. Not a single issue. Alison, CBWE owner Alex and the rest of the staff were a pleasure to work with and have onsite with us. You want CBWE on your team when you plan the wedding of your dreams!

what Alison did us. She helped us plan a wedding during Covid, all while we were living in another state. She took our scattered ideas and inspirations and made them into a reality- perhaps better! She managed all of my emotions and stress (because it is real!) and made it a truly enjoyable experience. Guests continue to tell us that it was the best wedding they have ever been to and perhaps I am biased, but I wholeheartedly agree. Thank you Alison! You are the fearless ringleader of our dream team!

n go through and on top of that the world was shut down and there was all this uncertainty with hosting our big day. We originally were scheduled to hold our wedding at the Women's Museum on 10/3/2020 but due to COVID has to make a drastic change. Alison did not skip a beat, she had already made calls to all of our vendors and was able to have them switch their entire plan on a dime. Not only did our day change to 3.13.21 but also our venue. Which Alison did not even flinch when I was crazy about trying to keep all the ideas and selections we had made. The day of the wedding she was even more impressed. I was a nervous wreck and of course the slightest thing made me emotional ( I was marrying the most perfect man and I had butterflies all day) and Alison was right there to hold my hand through it all and make sure that the day went off without a hitch! I truly cannot say enough good things about her and how amazing she is as well as her staff! Thank you!

e right decision!! Our whole day was executed perfectly thanks to Felicia! She helped us iron out the many logistical questions we had in the week leading up to the wedding, put together a timeline that kept the day together, and above all, we were able to enjoy our wedding without a worry in the world. Felicia was a pro and so wonderful to work with -- always very responsive and went above and beyond to make meetings with vendors. We'd highly recommend her and the Cherry Blossom team to any couple!

the wedding, she found us amazing vendors and worked with them to build our vision for the event. On the day of the wedding, she was just incredible, handling things big and small (including sewing my sister back into her dress). It's certainly true that Alison made wedding planning much less stressful, and it's also true that our wedding was way more beautiful and fun because of Alison's hard work. We can't imagine a better planner!

aving my first conversation with Alison I could tell she was extremely organized, professional and fun to work with! Her experience in event management in prestigious buildings in the DC area was perfect for mine and my venues needs. Having Alison alongside me during the planning phase was critical to getting all of my details done. She was instrumental in scheduling all of my vendors, delivering welcome bags for my hotel guests and the set up and take down of the decor is worth the price alone! Myself and the groom as well as our families and friends we able to enjoy ourselves and not have to worry about staying behind to pack up or come early to set up. Everything was beautiful and I am so happy with the end result and all of Alison's hard work!

nd her team at Cherry Blossom Events. We were lucky enough to work with her during our entire wedding planning process and she is simply perfect. She is organized, sweet, has a solution for everything, can handle any question (at any time), and is genuinely happy to greet you with a huge hug every time you see her. We were planning a wedding from across the country, and Andrea made sure it was as easy as possible. She organized vendors and meetings for when we were in town, and if we couldn’t make them she was our stand in person. It really says somethings about a planner when every single other vendor in our wedding had nothing but praise for them- and that is absolutely what happened for us. Every other vendor we talked to told us that there would be no problems because Andrea would take care of them and it was totally true. Andrea and her staff not only set up our entire wedding day but then also stayed to take it down and had smiles on their faces all day long. It really was just like having another family member there for our big day. I would not have changed one thing about hiring Andrea and we cannot express our gratitude and pleasure with how everything turned out. Andrea and her team at Cherry Blossom events are a must have for any bride.

ting with her, Elizabeth was professional, responsive, and completely dedicated, and her attention to detail was truly remarkable. For over a year, throughout the entire planning process, from that first meeting until the end of our ceremony, we never really worried about a thing. And in the end, it was, of course, the perfect wedding. If you think that I'm exaggerating, let me just tell you: Elizabeth is THAT good. I promise you, if you hire her as your wedding planner, it will be the best, smartest decision of your whole wedding. There's so much more I could write here -- about the countless venues she researched, vendors she contacted, details she coordinated, and issues she resolved -- but I hope I've made my point. And to Elizabeth, thank you so much!

experts in making sure that every aspect of our wedding went off well. Alex was the wedding planner for my sister’s wedding five years ago, and she and the team have only gotten better at what they do since then. For every vendor they helped us with, they gave us a handful of options within our budget and within our design ideas, allowed us to narrow down the choices and negotiated our meeting with the vendors. They asked the vendors the questions we didn’t know to ask, and went to bat for us every time there was something we really wanted or were unsure of with a vendor. Even for those vendors that they didn’t negotiate for us, they would always provide us with a starter list of options or vendors they knew of so we could at least start off on the right foot. It was like having someone read these types of reviews – for you! They thought of every single detail that we didn’t know to think of and provided a day-of timeline that pulled in every detail of the wedding. For the day of, they added in extra help to make sure our transportation from multiple hotels went off without any problems and coordinated with every vendor, even the ones they didn’t negotiate for us. We didn’t have a typical ceremony so there was no officiant to run the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. Alex and the team swooped right in and got everyone organized, kept unruly groomsmen in line and got us in and out of rehearsal on time and with three run-throughs done. They handled every last minute issue like it was no problem and kept the entire day of events going. I truly felt like I enjoyed my wedding day, didn’t have to worry about what was going on with the DJ, the caterer, the transportation, nothing. At one point I wanted to change my shoes and in a flash one of the team had my other pair right there, switched them out with the ones I was wearing and they were gone. Your wedding day, is YOUR wedding day. Alex and her team provide a service that is PRICELESS – no hassle, no worries, and a stress free wedding day. I truly don’t know how they did it all, but I am forever grateful for their work.

ute items that needed to be taken care of. The day of the wedding, she made sure that everything ran perfectly. My family and I didn't have to worry about a thing. I would strongly recommend them.

y without having to worry about all of the logistical details, which there are a ton of. My husband and I would say that investing in a wedding planner (we went with Alex's partial planning package) was probably the best decision we made. She saved us time and money, and was a much needed source of information during the sometimes overwhelming wedding planning process. We would highly recommend her.
