Cynthia was a true dream to work with. Extremely professional, understanding, and she immediately understood our vision. She did an amazing job communicating with us. We hired her as a day-of coordinator and we got SO much more than just that! She offered suggestions for layout and decor, vendor recommendations, and was able to speak from her wealth of experience. Her staff was incredibly helpful!! I would recommend Cynthia and her team to anyone that wants a supportive, friendly, caring, and expert coordinator for their wedding. You will have zero stress on your wedding day, I can guarantee.

We are just getting back from our wedding in Palm Desert, and one of the first things we wanted to do is jump on theknot.com and sing Cynthia’s praises. If you are looking for a wedding planner to put on a flawless event for you - look no further than Cynthia. We had about a year to plan our wedding and we hired her early on. Throughout the process she was very communicative and attentive to all the details that were important to us. Our wedding ended up being a true fairytale - even better than we had dreamed of. The day of the wedding ran so smoothly because Cynthia had done an impeccable job communicating with vendors and making sure every detail was thought through. We were able to just show up and enjoy the moment. We are so grateful that we found her because I honestly don’t think anyone could have put on a more incredible wedding than she did. Thank you Cynthia!

10/10!!! Please do yourself a favor and hire Cynthia and her wonderful team. I cannot express how much she truly is the best decision I made for my wedding. She is not only one of the kindest souls ulu ever meet, she also is extremely creative, professional and made my wedding run smoothly from start to finish. She made my dream wedding a reality. I will be shouting from the rooftops to every bride I encounter forever to hire her!

Cynthia was nothing short of amazing. She kept on top of all of the details making the planning and the day go smoothly. She has a calm, cool, collected demeanor. We highly recommend her!

You would you be doing yourself a huge favor by hiring Cynthia. She did partial planning and day of coordination for me, and took a huge amount of work off my plate for a very reasonable price. She owns her own print shop and rental business, so I had my programs printed through her, and I rented linens and table decor pieces for the reception. She also put together a welcome sign and seating chart for me. The day of, Cynthia kept everything running smoothly. To top it off, Cynthia is so kind and knowledgeable, and will do everything she can to bring your vision to life.

Cynthia was my day of planner for my 10/11/24 wedding in Palm Springs, CA. As a bride, that wanted to elope I found it extremely comforting to have Cynthia! I first contacted her when I was trying to settle on a wedding venue. She gave me advice before I ever hired her! I was so impressed with her and her communication, I truly never looked into another day of coordinator. I know she is extremely busy, but she always made me feel like we were the only couple she was working on. Cynthia explained to me the different packages that she had available and since I wanted to work with a limited amount of vendors we picked an easy venue. So I only needed to pick hair/makeup, photographer, transportation and DJ. The gave me a list of vendors and I looked into them. She actually brought all of my day of decor and bouquet. She gave me advice and if there were decisions that I wasn't sure about she helped me work through it. She was never pushy and always professional. Let's fast forward to the week before. We set up a meeting to discuss our timeline. I had changed and added stuff A LOT, but Cynthia was easily keeping up with the changing schedule. We had our meeting and then it was like "poof" I showed up to my rehearsal the day before and we walked through everything. She was so prepared and knowledgeable, she had her assistant, Micheal, with her and they were a complete DREAM! They were doing stuff that I hadn't even though about... On the day of, I walked into our wedding venue and wanted to cry TEARS OF JOY! It was the most beautiful black tie wedding. The decor was so chic and simple, but perfectly elegant and timeless (the exact look I was going for). The signage was perfect. Cynthia, had a 6 ft custom made welcome sign that complimented our invites and wedding website. All of our flowers were silk and they did not look cheap nor did they smell like plastic. They looked so real. the only real flowers I had were my peonies bouquet, little did I know that they had to be sent from Holland since peonies were out of season. She had the florist bring them to my hotel so I didn't have to run out the day off. Though Cynthia and her team did most of my decor I had a small box of items that needed to be present at the venue. I gave it to Cynthia the night before and there were my items set out and perfectly placed per our discussions. I could go on and on about Cynthia and her team, they made my day perfect. If there was a problem, I didn't know about it. As a bride that wanted to elope, I am so happy that I didn't! Cynthia made our day and the start of our new chapter together. We often refer to her as our wedding angel and my dad calls her a "true MVP." Do yourself a favor and hire Cynthia, you will be so impressed with your event. I only have 1 tiny suggestion! I wish she had a bigger social medial presence on IG so I could gawk at all of her work :)

I could not say enough about how wonderful this wedding planner is. She worked magic for our wedding by always maintaining great contact with us and responding quickly. She helped with planning the big and small details that we did not even think about until she brought it up. She made things 100 times easier for us and when the occasional problem came up with other vendors, she stepped up on our behalf and eased our worry throughout the stressful wedding planning process. She also did a great job the day of hte wedding by setting things up beautifully and made sure everything ran smoothly. Amazing in every way.

We are so glad we chose Cynthia as our event coordinator for our Joshua Tree micro wedding back in April 2024! She had experience with our venue and was thoughtful, offering lots of advice about logistics and details since we were planning our wedding from out-of-state and had never been to the venue. On our wedding day, she put a lot of effort into the small details and it felt great knowing Cynthia had it handled and I didn't have to worry about setting things up and packing them up after the event. If you want someone who is kind and professional to coordinate your wedding day, I'd definitely recommend her!

We can't thank Cynthia and her team enough for all they did to make our wedding dreams come true! They were SO wonderful to work with from the initial phone call until our wedding night sendoff, we absolutely loved working with them. Our families also enjoyed meeting them and felt Cynthia was such a calm, knowledgeable, and talented addition to our wedding weekend! We really appreciate all they did to make our wedding go seamlessly and as smoothly as possible, we felt super relaxed knowing they were in charge. The way they set up the decor brought our entire vision to life!! They went above and beyond expectations!

Absolutely outstanding team! I was recommended to Cynthia by a friend and there are not enough words to describe how professional and on top of everything her and her team are. She made my entire vision come to life. Cynthia made the process of planning so easy and effortless. She’s so attentive and responded to any concerns and needs in seconds. My husband and I cannot thank them enough for making our day so beautiful. They felt like family by the end. I highly recommend!

Cynthia was the best wedding planner we could have hoped for. She is professional, understanding, organized, and kind. She always made time for us when we had a question or concern. She also has great recommendations on vendors and knows how to make an event fun for everyone. Highly recommend.

We could not rate Cynthia high enough. She exceeded all expectations!! Not only did she contact all vendors and ensure that the day ran smoothly, but her attention to detail was absolutely outstanding. Excellent communication and really let our vision shine. We were so grateful to have found her.

I cannot say enough positive things about our experience with Cynthia and her team at Extraordinary Wedding Arches. I hired Cynthia as my wedding coordinator for my October wedding in Palm Springs. I do not live in the area and really needed some help with buttoning up details and provide some "boots on the ground" support. Cynthia went WAY above and beyond every step of the way. Not only did she answer questions, she also offered to call vendors, negotiate services, coordinate changes in timeline, and even helped us ship and print materials in preparation of the weekend. Cynthia left no stone unturned and really performed as a full-time planner rather than a day-of coordinator. Her team was amazing on site for the event and executed our décor vision perfectly. I was actually bummed that we no longer have a reason to work with Cynthia and would absolutely recommend EWA to EVERYONE we know in the SoCal area!

Cynthia and her team are amazing! Cynthia went above and beyond in every single aspect to make our special day come to life. She has incredible connections in the industry and helped us stay close to our budget throughout the process. Not only is Cynthia an incredible planner, but she's also an incredible human being. Thank you Cynthia + team for bringing our vision to life and giving us the best day ever!

From our initial phone call up to our big day Cynthia was incredible. Her commitment to ensuring our big day was everything we imagined is unmatched! A true professional who does this work, only to see and make others happy. I could not have dreamed of a better team to work with. If you are in the Palm Springs/Riverside area, look nowhere else, this is the wedding coordinator who will make IT happen!

Cynthia and her team are incredible and we highly recommend her as a wedding planner. She helped us carry out our vision and stay on track in the months and weeks leading up to the wedding, she is experienced and well-connected to other vendors in the industry and she is incredibly adaptable and able to roll with the punches if last minute issues arise or day-of changes need to be made. She is incredibly affordable for the quality of service she provides. She is also a kind, calm and empathetic person who will help you stay relaxed on the big day. Could not recommend her services enough. Thank you, Cynthia!

Brittany and Cynthia both went above and beyond at every step of the way to make sure our day was perfect. Brittany’s communication was constant and professional, and she had so many great ideas that helped bring our vision to life. I can’t imagine what we would have done without them. I cannot recommend Extraordinary Wedding Arches enough! It was truly the best money we spent.

Cynthia was amazing! I can see she was very experienced with wedding planning and I appreciated how accommodating, calm, and professional she was. Her advice and insights to the day of planning process were very helpful. She picked up on little details I didn't even consider originally that helped make the guests experience more homey and comfortable at the wedding :) Thank you Cynthia!

We found Cynthia by recommendation from a friend. She exceeded expectations and then some. She brings years of experience to the wedding planning journey, has many affordable wedding vendor contacts, and made herself available whenever we needed wedding day advice. The day of itself couldn’t have gone any smoother. She was the best money we spent on the wedding. She was so thoughtful and joyful throughout the whole experience, which helped ease the wedding planning stress. We highly recommend Cynthia for your wedding!

Hiring Cynthia of Extraordinary Wedding Arches was the absolute best thing I could have done to guarantee the success of my wedding and allow me to relax, be present, and enjoy my big day! She is the loveliest person and she thought of things I never would have. She referred our wonderful officiant, our great bartender, and she and her staff took care of the flowers, arch, decor, sign, and her staff served the food. Everything was perfect! Cynthia was always available to take my calls, texts, and emails. She is professional, knowledgeable, kind, calm, and helpful. We were thrilled with our wedding and reception and I didn't have to stress about a thing (and I tend to worry). I highly recommend Events by Extraordinary Wedding Arches - knowing that everything is taken care of so you can enjoy your big day is priceless! Thanks again, Cynthia!

I am very pleased with how Cynthia and her team handled every little detail to our wedding. I greatly appreciate everything that she did for me and my husband. I would hire her a million times over and over . Best decision I could have ever made was to hire a professional who knows what they are doing . thank you again for your patience, time and honesty.

My wedding was Dec 18 2022 in Indian Wells, CA. I hired Cynthia and her team for a day of coordinator but she did WAY more than expected for what I hired her for. From the second I hired her, she helped me book my remaining vendors, helped me get my rentals and more. She truly saved me from so much added stress. Anytime I had an idea, she always figured out how to make my vision come true. She answered all my questions extremely promptly. My wedding day was absolutely perfect. Nothing went wring and I had so many small details added throughout my wedding. I was truly amazing how nothing was forgotten or missed. Cynthia and her team handled everything. I even got all my rentals, signage, and ceremony arch through her and the team and they were beautiful! Lastly, on the morning of my wedding. I realized I forgot my veil back home 2 hours away. Cynthia stepped in and within a few hour a beautiful new veil was being delivered to me at the venue. Cynthia was the best thing we could have done for our wedding!

Cynthia and Brittany are amazing! We had the pleasure of working with both of them and are so grateful for their guidance. Cynthia was booked on our wedding day but let us know that Brittany would be there instead. Cynthia was a great help leading up to our wedding day and answered any questions we had along the way. Brittany was awesome on the day of and just brought such positive energy. Everyone loved her and felt really comfortable around her. You can tell she really cared about making sure we had the best experience. I got bit by a red ant while taking pictures, and she had a bag of ice ready for me almost immediately. She checked in constantly to make sure I was okay, and I really appreciated her caring so much about something that most people probably wouldn't spend much time worrying about. We're so thankful for Cynthia and Brittany's love and care!

Cynthia was the mediator and cheerleader we needed! She was so helpful beyond her contract. Even though she had an emergency come up the week of our wedding, she had her son and daughter (both wedding planners) come in and everything ran seamlessly! Michael and Jennifer were amazing in keeping to the timeline, checking in and making sure everything was to our liking and standards!

We hired Cynthia a few months into planning our destination wedding in Palm Springs, as wedding planning was becoming really stressful for my fiancé and I. We thought we were just hiring a wedding planner, but Cynthia ended up being so much more than that to us. I can't express what her support meant to us. Cynthia was there for us any time we needed her, going above and beyond to ensure we were as stress free as possible. When issues started to arise with our venue, which carried on right through to our wedding day, she advocated for us, and had our backs at all the way. She was our absolute rock during some really stressful times, and I honestly don't know how we would've handled those situations without her. Her attention to detail, thoughtfulness, and willingness to go above and beyond made our wedding what it was, and we can never thank her enough. Our friends all say it was the best wedding they have ever been to, and we know that is in large part because of the work Cynthia and her team put into it. I was a frantic, upset, stressed out bride trying to cluelessly plan a destination wedding and Cynthia came in and quite literally saved the day. We put complete trust into her and it was the best decision we could have ever made. Not only did she plan an amazing wedding weekend for us, but the way she emotionally supported us through all of the ups and downs of planning a wedding is something we will always remember. Cynthia will always hold a very special place in our hearts, and we will always be grateful for what she did for us.

Working with Cynthia and her team was wonderful from start to finish. As a person, Cynthia is fun, kind, and creative, and she's also very organized and responsive. This made communicating my vision with her easy and enjoyable. In terms of logistics, Cynthia was able to provide much of what I needed, such as the arch and flowers (as her company's name suggests) as well as printed materials like the welcome sign. She then helped me manage contracts I had with other vendors, and even facilitated much of the ordering, delivery, and return of rental items. She was also great about helping me bring my vision to life while staying within my budget by offering easy swaps that helped bring down the overall cost. In the end, my wedding was exactly how I'd hoped: part Malibu elegant, part surfer girl casual. The event ran smoothly and all of the design elements were cohesive and beautiful. I can't thank Extraordinary Wedding Arches enough for their hard work, and I would recommend them to anyone without reservation.

Where do I get started. Booking your wedding through them is a must. 0 stress day of and through out the process. Cynthia and Michael were the best. Cynthia really made planning a wedding in 4 months feel so much easier than it should. We really couldn’t have done it without her. Now for our day of wedding. Micheal and Jennifer you will be praised forever. They both went above and beyond to really make it our day. We didn’t have to do a single thing day of. I thank you both for making our wedding happen perfectly. Due to unfortunate circumstances the power went out in the area of Joshua tree where our wedding was held. Knowing the situation, they immediately had a plan to save the wedding. Very stressful situation for us but Michael really put us at ease and saved the day. We both thank you and Jennifer so much. Forever grateful for everyone over at Events by Extraordinary Wedding Arches.

Cynthia was an absolute ANGEL!!! She eased all my stress months before the wedding during our calls and really made me feel at ease about the upcoming big day. She was incredibly professional all while being extremely friendly and sweet. She brought up things that I would have never thought about but were essential!! Trust me, you will forget something but If you hire Cynthia she will remember and make it happen! I had a bunch of floral arrangements I had in mind for the tables and her and her team put them together and they were beautiful! She battled with the wind in Joshua tree but managed to never let anything go awry. It was the most perfect day and I honestly owe it all to this woman!! You absolutely need a day of wedding coordinator and you absolutely better book with Cynthia.

I run a DJ company in Southern California and one of my djs had the chance to work with Cynthia and told me that she really had command of the day to keep them on track and was really attentive to the needs of the couple and family! She was also flexible and able to adjust to whatever they needed!

Adriana G

4/23/2022

Cynthia was a professional throughout the wedding planning process and went above and beyond helping us plan our event as a day of wedding coordinator. Though we hired her to help coordinate vendor arrivals and set-up on our wedding day, she helped us find and book multiple vendors from hair and make-up to equipment rentals, helped facilitate communication among our vendors months in advance, created a beautiful menu for our wedding and took the initiative to enhance the ambiance at our venue with tasteful placement of tea lights. Lastly, Cynthia and her team helped jump in to meet needs that arose on the wedding day, often attending to such demands before my partner and I ever even knew something was needed. She was quick to respond to our needs and is well-connected in the Palm Springs and high desert regions. I highly recommend Cynthia and her team!!

3/22/2022

Cynthia and her team are absolutely excellent in every way. My wife and I had our wedding in Palm Springs, but are based out of state, so had to do most of our planning remotely. We started out working with another wedding planner, who was not being as responsive or helpful as we needed. We switched to Cynthia and Extraordinary Wedding Arches with five months to go before our wedding, and it was a total game changer. Having Cynthia on location in the area was immensely helpful. She had great vendor recommendations, was able to stay on top of our venue (whose manager was disorganized), and took so many difficult tasks off our plates. Our ceremony was complicated, with a lot of moving parts (literally, we had a marching band to lead our guests from place to place), and Cynthia was able to help us organize exactly to the vision that was in our heads. On the weekend of our event, there were many things that could have gone wrong or that needed last minute attention, and Cynthia and her team completely took on the burden of resolving every possible worry. We were able to keep our minds focused on the day and having a great time. Not to mention, Extraordinary Wedding Arches was priced so much more reasonably than many other wedding planners in the area. If The Knot let us give six stars, we would. Thank you, Cynthia and team!

response 04/27/2022

Thank you so much for the amazing review Dan. It was such a pleasure working with you and ...

I am so glad you were thrilled with the end result, which was a great day filled with love and support from amazing friends and family. It was a privilege to be a part of that very special weekend. Cynthia

We can’t thank Cynthia enough for all the amazing work, time and effort she put into our beautiful wedding. It was truly a magical evening. It was everything we could have dreamed of and more. Cynthia is very kind, personable, professional, attentive, on point, quick at responding to emails, calls, and texts. She was great at making me feel at ease when I had any concerns or changes. She was very patient with us with all the venues that we toured throughout the years to find the perfect venue. There were times where I just wanted to settle for a venue. However she knew I wasn’t absolutely in love with the venue and she encouraged me to keep looking. I greatly appreciate it because the venue we picked was absolutely gorgeous and picture perfect. We definitely highly recommend Extraordinary Wedding Arches without hesitation! Thank you so much!

response 04/27/2022

Thank you so much for the kind words Vanessa, I enjoyed all of my time with you and Uriah ...

and I especially enjoyed our breakfast, lunch and dinner sessions. It is my hope that will continue and I know it will. We will see you soon at the restaurant of your choosing. Cynthia

There are not enough positive things that I can say about Cynthia and her team! Firstly, we planned our wedding in CA all the way from Missouri and she made every step appear seamless. She never missed an opportunity to tell us "No stressing allowed" and "I'm flexible." Which she was because COVID forced us to reschedule 6 months later... but we only came to that decision after she searched high and low for other venues that could take our wedding on last minute. She allowed us to pay through a payment plan, which was a huge help! She was responsive to every text and call; she never made me feel as though we were a both. When we figured out a travel theme/vision, she executed that PERFECTLY. She sent me drafts of signs, pictures of items to use and floral bouquets ahead of time. She also has this 3D program that allows us see the reception hall exactly as it will be. As a visual person, this helped so much! When I struggled with decisions, she patiently gave pros and cons to help. She also stepped in and helped me with the rehearsal dinner since we did it out of an AirBnB. When the original AirBnB cancelled our reservation 2 weeks before the wedding, she helped me search for others near by. She went way out of her way more than once to accommodate things we wanted, not even needed. We wanted to do a time capsule and the team hand-made/painted wooden boxes to place things from the wedding inside it. She coordinated with all the other vendors and fought the good fight for my cocktail hour to be outside when the venue tried to change it to inside. If you dont hire this woman and her amazing team, I promise your wedding will not be all that it can be. Thank you for all the love, support, pep talks and help along the way. James and I are forever grateful and will only ever recommend you for wedding services! The work you do is truly magical :)

10/04/2021

Cynthia is AMAZING!! We have been planning our wedding for over 2 years, with many delays due to COVID so I figured that since I’ve booked all of my vendors already, I don’t need a wedding planner. My wedding venue suggested that a wedding coordinator would be helpful and that’s when I reached out to Cynthia. They were so right! Having Cynthia there to manage all of the logistical details of the wedding day, coordinating with multiple vendors, figuring out timing, schedules, insurance needs, she did it all! I was worried about my wedding day being anxiety ridden as I am somewhat of a perfectionist but I was so calm all day knowing that everything was going according to plan and it was just perfect. I hope to work with Cynthia again soon! Highly recommended!!!

response 10/07/2021

Thank you so much for the kind words Miriam and thank you for always being so responsive. ...

I enjoyed every minute I spent with your friends and family on your special day. I look forward to working with you again in the near future. Cynthia

Where do I start. Cynthia is beyond A-mazing! She went the extra mile for us. She is a 60 days prior to wedding coordinator but was truly kind and said at anytime during our wedding process no matter how far out from the wedding it was, she was there to help. She has such a confidence in what she does that it really put us at ease, especially being a destination wedding. She created an awesome candy table and went the extra mile for the kiddos and made a Micky head with dum dums. She took care of getting all the insurance policies from all of our vendors and worked with our venue to pass them along. She even kicked off her shoes at one point and got on the dance floor which was a special moment for us! Cynthia is all around just Amazing and I wish I could have another wedding just to have the chance to work with her! I hands down with out question would hire Cynthia and I truly hope that you are able to book her! Cynthia we love you!

Hiring Cynthia was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She took our destination wedding to a whole new level and served as our advocate when one of our vendors tried to take advantage of our situation. We also were able to keep our rentals internal by going through Events by Extraordinary Wedding Arches. Cynthia brought our wedding arch vision to life and we couldn't be happier with how everything looked!

response 08/10/2021

Hi Jesika, I honestly loved every moment I spent with you. You made my job so much easier...

Cynthia is amazing. I had the honor of working as the officiant for her clients' New Year's Eve Wedding. She was very communicative during the planning phase of the event and I was definitely impressed by her friendly and professional attitude. Her couple spoke very highly of her and made me look forward to meeting her on their wedding day. Cynthia wowed me. She transformed a stark desert venue into a romantic and dreamy setting with elegant and classy touches. She was on schedule and on point. It's wonderful working with someone who knows what they're doing. Calm, poised and graceful. I would certainly recommend Cynthia and her Extraordinary Wedding Arches team to anyone looking for a top-notch Wedding Planner.

I am so happy we discovered Cynthia and her team and I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding. We actually got referred to EWA from our favorite hotel at the beach and we are so grateful they did! We dreamed of having a sunset beach wedding in the sand and it was magical. When I saw the arch for the first time, it literally took my breath away. We live in the Midwest so we so appreciated the time, attention to detail and patience Cynthia and her team had with us in creating our perfect day! I admit we are quirky and have our own sense of style and sense of humor and Cynthia gets us! Even with Covid, and having to have a smaller wedding, we appreciated that everything was personalized and yet still beautiful, thoughtful and special to each of our guests. We couldn’t be happier!!

This company really gets it. I did most of the planning for our wedding day and as the groom, I didn't know where to start. They exceeded my expectations. Their attention to detail, the way they created special moments for our guests and their knowledge in the industry were front and center. They are excellent communicators and not just during the hours of 8-5. Cynthia is extremely creative and thinks outside the box. I would definitely work with them again and again and refer them to all my friends and family.

Honestly still overwhelmed with the work and service provided from EWA. I am very detailed and was a bit manic during the planning of our big day until I encountered Cynthia and the EWA Team. When I say all of my stress was put top ease as soon as they took over. It truly gave me the opportunity to actually enjoy the months leading up to my Wedding and changed me from being a Bridezilla to a Peaceful excited Bride lol. Their Prompt response, attention to detail and creativeness are just above and beyond. Family members and friends still comment on my wedding, stating they had never seen such a beautiful event. I am forever thankful and can't wait for them to do our one year anniversary Party January 2021!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH Cynthia and EWA, We love you guys!!!

response 10/11/2020

We love you back Kerry!! No, you were not a bridezilla, you were just passionate. LOL. I ...

am going to miss our brainstorming sessions until we start planning your first anniversary party. Talk soon. Cynthia

My now husband and I had been planning our perfect day for over a year. We were ready to go and then COVID hit and we learned we could not have the wedding that we planned. We didn't want to reschedule because the date was special to us. Cynthia was our wedding planner, our therapist and most important our friend. I would often send a text late at night not expecting a return call until the next day. And of course, she would text me right back. She created the perfect mini wedding that was actually more intimate and personal. All of her vendors were phenominal. Although our wedding was not what I envisioned, it was perfect. I highly recommend.

hat we do. Downsizing the wedding to comply with Covid regulations and the inability to host large gatherings actually gave us an opportunity to create a more personal experience for your guests. The many details we were able to execute truly made your day more special. I look forward to the reception next year. Cynthia

Getting married on NYE was incredible, but there is no way we could have pulled it off without Cynthia and her amazing team. From the beginning Cynthia was kind, supportive, and amazing to communicate with. She listened to every question and concern and brought such an ease to the rest of our planning process. Working with Cynthia was easily the best choice we made. In her we not only found an amazing coordinator, but a genuine friend as well. If you’re looking for someone to help plan your special day or any event in general, then look no further. You will be in great hands.

Cynthia and the EWA team, I cannot thank you enough for creating the wedding of our dreams!!! Before I met you, Thomas and I worried that we wouldn’t be able to find a wedding planner that would get our vision much less be able to execute our vision within our budget and yet, you and your team far exceeded our vision for our dream wedding! The fact that you found the perfect venue to capture our desire to have a southern inspired garden wedding at a beautiful georgian colonial estate! Only you could have found that right here in the valley! I still remember looking out of the window of the bridal suite as I was getting dressed and seeing my guests being greeted by ushers in black tie to the right with glasses of southern tea and lemonade and seeing this beautiful cobblestone drive lined with flower girls on the left side holding bushels of purple flowers as a warm welcome and offering! Omg!!!! The details!!!! I was so excited and happy!!! When I was able to walk down the grand staircase “my Bella moment,” out through the double doors on to the porch to see violinists on both sides of me playing our song and to see the most beautiful green lawn with my handsome hubby to be, with all my family and friends, I was like omg this is really happening and it’s happening to me!!!! Every bride deserves to feel this good and to be this happy!!!! We also loved our reception and I love that our guests enjoyed their custom mason jars and put their bushels of flowers in them as their keepsake. Everyone is still talking about the lighting and the floating flower balls and the nighttime nature walk you created filled with flowers and these beautiful wooden signs with milestones in our life lit by candlelight and the stars. It was magical!!! My favorite moment of all is when you surprised us with a 1934 roadster for Thomas and I to take our first ride together!!! I shared with you how much my dad loved working on cars and how I would often sit on my stool in the garage as a child helping him and hanging out with my dad. Since he has passed, those memories I especially hold dear! When I saw that beautiful cherry red roadster at the end of the drive, it was as if my dad was there smiling with his hands out ready to give me a big hug, saying let’s take out final ride together sweetheart!!!! I will forever treasure this moment more than you will ever know!!! Cynthia, you and your beautiful EWA team are like family to me now! Thank you for the love and passion and magic you put into everything you do to make dreams come true!!!!!

I met Cynthia at David's Bridal back in February 2018. She is a preferred vendor with them and I was drawn to her display in the store. Her tall centerpiece and matching decorations were stunning. In my conversation with her, I found out that she is also a certified wedding planner. I scheduled an appointment to meet with her at my venue and gave her what my ideas were for reception centerpieces. We also discussed my budget, my vision for the ceremony and reception and how I wanted to feel on my day. Two weeks after our initial meeting, we met at the venue again and she brought a sample centerpiece based on the criteria I had given her. She nailed it! She exceeded my expectations. She also contracted on my behalf, the DJ, a linen company, the photographer and a videographer. This was the best process ever. I could actually sit back and enjoy my engagement. I wasn't stressed and running around like crazy, They did everything. Her vendors were top notch and extremely affordable. During the whole process, I never felt rushed, she would take as much time as I needed and would always respond to my calls quickly. I know she was very busy with many other clients, but she made me feel like I was the only one. Her team is professional, passionate and very knowledgeable in working with couples and venues. Hiring her to do my flowers and plan and manage the details of my day was the best thing I could have done. I would recommend Extraordinary Wedding Arches with the highest rating possible.

I still look at my wedding pictures and have tears of joy at how special and beautiful our wedding day was for Omar and I. Cynthia, we will never forget the love you showed us in honoring my nana at our wedding. I remember when we were initially planning our wedding and I had shared with you that my nana had recently passed and it was her dream to see Omar and I wed. As she said, she knew it the first day she saw us playing in the apple tree in front of our house nearly 20 years ago when we were kids that we were kindred spirits. I shared with you that her favorite color was yellow and how special the color yellow is for me and my family. When you called me and said you would love to help me honor my nana by creating a beautiful yellow rose bouquet and yellow rose petals I just wept because I knew it was a sign that my nana would be with me both in beauty and spirit on my wedding day. It was such a magical moment for me, Omar and our family and the love and joy and bliss that I felt at that moment is a special gift that lives with us forever! God bless you Cynthia and your amazing team! Love Regina and Omar

I never would have believed that we could plan our perfect wedding in 3 months, but we had no choice. Tiffany was going to be deployed and we wanted to marry before her deployment. We really didn’t know where to start or what we wanted our wedding to look like. We just knew we liked certain colors and flowers. One of our friends had recently attended a wedding and told us about Extraordinary Wedding Arches . We spoke with Cynthia and she very quickly helped us create the vision for our wedding . After a 42 minute phone call we felt very comfortable in our plan and had a clear vision of what our wedding day would look like . Cynthia later sent us an email of our colors worked into their existing package . The whole process was effortless and within our budget. We got a designer looking wedding without breaking the bank and all within a 3 month period . Thank you Extraordinary Wedding Arches you really are passionate about what you do.! Shannon & Tiffany

response 01/07/2018

Shannon & Tiffany, Thank you for the kind words and thank you for your trust in allowing ...

us the opportunity to assist in the creation of your vision. It would have been more challenging to pull it off had it not been for the speed in which you approved certain concepts. I had so much fun working with the two of you. Tiffany, we will be thinking about you often and wish you a safe return. Cynthia

I wish I could give Extraordinary Wedding Arches 10 stars. I first learned about EWA at a Bridal show. Their display was beautiful and their arch could be seen from across the room. I met Cynthia and she walked me through the different packages. I had no idea the flowers were not real. I couldn't tell by looking at them, nor by touching them. I didn't have a large budget for flowers, but became very excited after learning I could get the fairy tale look I wanted and still stay within my budget. I selected the Classic White package and added green and pink flowers. I also added (8) matching centerpieces for my reception. About a month later I received an email with a sample pic with my colors included. I was so excited, it looked beautiful. Here is where the story takes a turn. About (3) months before my wedding I got laid off. We had to make some difficult decisions to cut some of our expenses. We even contemplated postponing the wedding, but some of our deposits were non-refundable. I contacted Cynthia and explained our situation and told her we needed to eliminate all the add-ons. She was very understanding and indicated it would not be a problem. Fast forward to day of the wedding. Although we had to scale back, I was still beyond excited to be getting married to my best friend. As I started walking down the aisle, I started to notice green and pink flowers in the aisle markers and then in the arch. Cynthia never cancelled the add-ons. She provided everything I ordered under the original agreement and did not charge me. She said it was her gift to me. I couldn't believe it, I was overwhelmed by her generosity. Companies don't normally do anything for free. They really care about their brides and not just turning a profit. Needless to say I would highly recommend EWA.

These are not your grandma's silk flowers. These flowers are amazing. They look real, but more important they feel real. Cynthia is a floral artist. I purchased the Classic White Package and added purple, green and crystals. It was beautiful. With the columns and aisle markers, it was so over the top. I would not have been able to afford this package if they were fresh flowers. I got the fairy tale wedding and saved so much money. Thank you EWA for your flexibility, passion and willingness to give every bride a WOW wedding.

EWA rocks! We discovered EWA while at an event in Temecula wine country. We chose the Vintage package which was perfect for our harbor cruise wedding. Being grad students, we appreciated the time and care Cynthia and team took to ensure we had our perfect day! They were always available to assist and answer our questions. My mother in law is the ultimate perfectionist and she loved our flowers! Everyone is still talking about how beautiful our flowers were and everyone was taking pictures of the arch!!! Gigi and I can't thank you enough for helping us to create our dream wedding!!!

EVERYTHING WAS EXTRAORDINARY! I could cry tears of joy all over again writing this review right now. since i was a kid i dreamed of the day I would have my beach wedding and EWA made all my dreams come true. We chose the classic white package and let me tell you at first my family was hesitant about silk floras as they were not familiar with them, nor was I. But wow Wow after seeing them, feeling them, EWA turned all of us into believers in silk Flowers. My Upscale Beach wedding was the talk of town for Months and nothing was upscale about the Price we paid. On top of being affordable EWA was Professional, Prompt alwways and unbelievable knowledgeable. They made us feel like there was nothing they couldnt do to make our day extraordinary!! from consultation to finished product I would hands down recommend them to my dearest friends and family. My husband and I are now expecting a beautiful bundle of joy and EWA please look at for us contacting your for the baby shower :) Thank you thank you!!!

nthusiasm were contagious. It was so funny to watch your guests touch the flowers and still not believe they were silks. I am glad we had an opportunity to convert them into believers. I look forward to working with you again on your baby shower. CONGRATULATIONS to you both!!! Many thanks, Cynthia
