Cherry Bomb Events

alent, let me tell you, you definitely want this kind of the friend by your side through this whole journey. Let me start by saying I had a non-traditional wedding. We got married Friday the 13th, October 2023 at the Stanley Hotel (The Shinning Hotel). I was uncomfortable with a big mushy wedding and we went a little more dark/gothic. I was worried about it being hokey or Halloween-cheesy. I told her I wanted a modern take on old formal Victorian funerals and she didn't laugh or shutter, in fact she was thrilled and she excited all of the other vendors. She was incredible and got everything I asked for and suggest more. We had 30+ vendors working our wedding which included 2 tattoo artist, 2 tarot card readers, creepy acrobatic dancers poring champagne, special effects/lighting/DJ, FLAME-THROWING HEARSE--plus catering, dj, floral, live music, etc. All I got to say is that almost every vendor we worked was a suggestion by her, and they all worked so well together. Shayna conducted several walk-throughs with all them her. It was so efficient but also a ton of fun to brain-storm with everyone there. She has a dream-team vendor for everything (Go with her suggestions!). We had high-profile guests invited to our wedding and Shayna helped made sure their privacy was maintained. She helped facilitate an NDA to protect our guests photos being printed and everyone of her vendors she chose was extremely respectful--particularly when we understand how that can be helpful for their business. We are so grateful. I have to speak to her personality. She really is the friend you need. In full transparency, I was really devastated by wedding planning. We got engaged in 2019 shortly before the pandemic. Being that I am an ICU nurse, I felt really robed of the wedding process. I had a hard time moving forward and Shayna NEVER EVER let me feel think I had missing out on anything I would have had 4 years prior. Any set-back/bad news/challenge I faced, she knew how to flip the situation around and make it something to laugh about about and THAT is what you need on such a stressful day. She handle any ridiculous requests my family had; she dealt with my mom directly and regularly; and helped keep people away when I needed to decompress. Shayna is literally there perfect planner. She is so fun and real. She made our day the best day of our lives https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/26/fashion/weddings/the-shining-stanley-hotel-weddings.html

nk we can be slightly "high maintenance" at times despite our best efforts. Shayna was always wonderful, easy to work with, lowered our stress level, helped us plan exactly the wedding we wanted under time pressure, and delivered far above and beyond our (high!) expectations. She took care of every detail and every thing we asked her to take care of was done incredibly well. We were beyond grateful and recommend her highly. She was a joy to work with, and we feel we got incredible value for our money. Thank you again Shayna!

t will always tell you the pros and cons of any decision you are trying to make. She’s super knowledgeable and her whole team is lovely. We hired Shayna for extra support for decor and design which was so helpful. Highly recommend!

rom experience, that this little thing you're obsessing over does not matter to anyone else, and you can let it go. Shayna was such a help before and on the big day, rolled with all the punches, and was a relaxing and upbeat presence to have with us on our big day! Plus, she's planned two of our other friends' weddings, so you know she's good if every wedding you loved going to, she planned!

it was. As our day of coordinator, she and her team were seamless, professional, and lots of fun. I cannot recommend Cherry Bomb events enough!

. She had just the right amount of guiding advice and open minded energy to help make our wedding everything we wanted it to be. I was especially happy during the ceremony when she seemed to be everywhere at once - giving cues during the ceremony, wiping off chairs when it unexpectedly rained, handling the vendor tips, and corralling everyone to a super fun send off, which in and of itself was an idea we wouldn't have thought of on our own. She even made my flowers, which were PERFECT and way less expensive than going to a florist. The only thing I would note is that communications were a little slower than we had imagined since she has a lot on her plate, but this might be because we were a day-of event for her instead of a full package service. Anyway, on the actual weekend we had 110% of her attention and everything went perfectly. We were so glad to have her You won't find this type of creativity and care anywhere else, I definitely recommend Cherry Bomb!

answers, our clear vision, and our relaxed personalities. She gave us direction on the cake, the DJ, and some other things, and we followed up with those vendors and chose to work with them because we trusted her opinion and relationships. After a tough walk-through with our venue, she helped problem-solve and thanks to her organization skills, we went forward with little stress. At the rehearsal, she was early and kept us and our families on track. During our event, she handled our blended family (and associated issues) with respect and grace. I would HIGHLY recommend Shayna and her team!

be easy and fun above all else, and Shayna helped us figure out which things were important to worry about and which things were just extras we could skip. Her guidance on what would make the day a success/match our vision was incredibly helpful! Then, on the day of the event, we didn't worry about a single thing. Shayna took care of every detail, coordinated with all the vendors and wedding party, and made sure we could relax and have fun. We can't stress enough how valuable it was to have someone there to manage the details! Our wedding party and the guests who met her adored her humor and down-to-earth nature. Shayna also did our flowers, which were gorgeous (and we loved the simplicity of not having to hire a separate floral vendor). Shayna and Cherry Bomb are awesome!

kly, fun. She listened carefully to my wishes and dreams for the wedding, and then helped me throw a wedding even better! Her creativity knows no limits, and her dedication is unquestionable. If you want to put on the wedding of a lifetime while having the time of your life, then Cherry Bomb Events is the only choice. 1,000 stars!

have to worry about the details and flow of the evening - the event unfolded so naturally, with Shayna and her team hustling like crazy behind the scenes. Did I mention Shayna is also the nicest and funniest person ever? And her team is amazing as well! I wanted them as guests at my wedding because they were so fun! Shayna also stepped in to teach everyone the electric slide when no one knew it. Yesss! She also did our flowers and HOLY MOLY, they were beyond our wildest dreams. Do yourself a favor and work with Cherry Bomb Events!

, service, and take down, and the CBE team handled it with grace, humor, and professionalism. Alli was was an incredible day-of coordinator, and Makenzie and Stephanie were the dynamic duo for the day of the wedding. We literally could not have done it without you, CBE!

ing dreams a reality. I didn't realize just how right I would be! We hired Shayna as our day-of coordinator but she provided so much additional value leading up to the big day. The week before the wedding we were scrambling to replace our caterer, and Shayna was there every step of the way to help. The months leading up to the wedding, the event managers from our venue were incredibly difficult to work with, and we are so thankful for Shayna's help in navigating communications with them. And then of course at the rehearsal and the day of the wedding, Shayna and her team were essential in helping us have the most perfect day - my dress was malfunctioning and they were there to help fix it, I gave them full reign to solve whatever problems came up (and they did!), and when we had to move the ceremony inside last minute due to weather they created a new floor plan and made it beautiful beyond what I could have imagined. I am so thankful to have had Cherry Bomb Events there on my special day - I was able to spend the day relaxing, enjoying time with my family and bridal party, and I knew without doubt that our wedding would be magical thanks to all of the Cherry Bomb Events team's hard work. Additionally, we hired Shayna to do our floral arrangements, bouquets and boutonnieres - everything turned out so beautiful, and just what I had been envisioning.

iller vendor recs, and executed my day so perfectly. My stress levels were at an all-time low and I can't imagine not having her team there for the day. The decor was absolutely beautiful. I handed her 4 bins of decor with basically the instructions "I trust your judgement" and everything was STUNNING. Thank you for everything you did for us!

. Their passion for wedding planning and design is obvious in their work. Shayna will help you enjoy the planning process from start to finish. From wedding planning to floral design - everything Cherry Bomb Events does is beautiful and thoughtful!

she coordinated to go off at midnight. My husband and I were very nervous about many of the logistics of having a wedding especially with mostly out of town guests but Shayna's help made us confident it would go well and it did! I highly recommend!

or recommendations, generated the timeline, and began communicating with vendors several weeks before the wedding. Allie coordinated our actual day-of, and couldn't have been better to work with. She was so nice and very organized, and always responded promptly to any emails. The day-of was magical because of all the hard work she put in to all the setup and rounding up the bridal party and directing them where to go. It was so worth it to hire these two, I'm so thankful that I did. It made everything that much easier and less stressful, and I really was able to enjoy my wedding day because of their expertise and help. THANK YOU GUYS!!

wever, she was occasionally a little slow to respond leading up to the wedding. I understand it was a busy season for her, but I felt like I had to be very organized to help keep everything on track! She was happy to step in and help out with last minute emergencies and everything went great the day of! I would definitely recommend Shayna and her team!

nted to marry each other and everything else was superfluous. When our parents mildly demanded a legit, fully-planned wedding, we were excited and terrified. We're career women and are lucky to take one non-family-related vacation a year - so entering the wedding world was exhausting just to think about. Enter Shayna. She knew our needs - i.e., someone to narrow down choices to three options - and she immediately started to get to know us. She is personable, warm, extremely knowledgeable and honest. I say honest because she was direct with us about where we could save some $ on wedding planning and where we needed to spend it based on our vision. (Food, always. Booze, always. Flowers, always.) The day of the wedding she and her team were seemless. We had a little bit of family drama, which I didn't know of until after the wedding (huzzah!). She had her eye on the weather, final last minute touches, and everything else I was too busy enjoying to care about. I'll also add that our needs were specific - we didn't need/want to know every detail and trusted Shayna to make choices for us. You may need a different touch. Shayna knew what we needed because she asked and listened. The other positive reviews here are for the same reasons-- and each couple has slightly different needs. Shayna will fill them for you because she listens and will effectuate what you need done, period. I cannot emphasize how fantastic Shayna and her team were on our wedding. Hire this woman now!

al tools and industry knowledge kept our planning on track. The timeline she created for the day of the wedding helped in staying organized and to focus on details that I otherwise wouldn’t have even thought about. She worked closely with the vendors, including caterer and event space, to make sure everyone was on the same page. I never knew how detailed, time consuming, and overwhelming planning a wedding could be! I do not think I could have done it (and stayed sane) without the help of Shayna. My wedding day was amazing! I was able to celebrate with my new husband, friends and family without having to worry about the event going smoothly. If there were in mishaps on our wedding day, I wouldn’t even know because it was fixed immediately by Shayna! I When choosing a wedding planner, it was important to us to have someone that was trustworthy, responsive and easygoing. Shayna embodies all of these characteristics, but most importantly she is also genuine. We both felt that she sincerely wanted to help our wedding day be exactly what we dreamed. I am truly thankful for choosing Shayna as our coordinator.

type of shower we wanted. The day of the event they showed up early full of excitement and energy. They set everything up making sure to get every detail perfected from the name tags to the champagne glasses, to the gift bags and picture frames.They were super flexible. All the work and preparation they did provided the hosts free time to prepare for the shower. Without them it would have been so much more stressful. We were able to fully enjoy the party, focusing on the most important thing, the Bride.

out. Shayna has a knack for getting things taken care of quickly and creatively in a way that still complimented our style. Lisa has a calming and understanding nature. They are flexible and really stuck to our vision as the bride and groom. They are dependable and enthusiastic. My husband and I are so grateful for their help on the day of our wedding.
