rything with a get-it-done attitude and they do just that. Cynthia has the warmest presence to her and so does her daughter Brittany who I had the pleasure of meeting week of the wedding. It’s impossible not to love them. Cynthia also has an incredible network of vendors. Everyone she connected us with went above and beyond to make our day AMAZING.
Speaking of above and beyond, the team navigated some fairly large last minute changes and requests the week before the wedding, including finding us a new location for a pool party with our wedding party. Any concerns I had they would find solutions faster than I thought was possible. They always ALWAYS put my mind at ease.
Day of the wedding, Cynthia and her team had everything perfect. It was everything we dreamed of and more. The day was just beautiful and ran smoothly thanks to them. Hiring them was the best decision we made in this process and I will genuinely miss them. Such incredible people, doing amazing work with care, efficiency and ease. Hiring them is a decision you will not regret!!

Cynthia was the perfect coordinator for us as we planned our cross-country wedding in Palm Springs. When searching for a coordinator, we spoke to multiple people who were all lovel...
y and had great recs, but Cynthia stood out due to her calm demeanor and willingness to be flexible with our package. Since we already chose our venue and date, we didn't need full planning. We chose month of coordination, but Cynthia told us early on that month of wasn't really possible because of all that goes into a wedding, and she said she would be talking to us six months ahead at least. She also expressed that her business is a family one and she genuinely enjoys assisting with decor and design, so she was happy to guide us with that even with our selected package. Many other coordinators weren't willing to go outside of the exact conditions outlined, which is understandable, but we liked that Cynthia truly just enjoys doing this work.
We really appreciated her professionalism and guidance - she helped us identify a venue and contract for a welcome party the night before our wedding, she coordinated entirely with a florist using our preferences, she communicated directly with all of our vendors, and she was present with many great ideas when it came to our walk through and tasting. Further, she has many of her own decor items she was willing to provide and she created our deconstructed arch for the ceremony. The day of the ceremony she was just as calm and thorough as she was on the phone leading up to everything.
We highly recommend Cynthia to anyone who is looking for an established professional, who remains calm and collected!

We would not have been able to pull off our wedding without the incredible knowledge, support, and overall calm and sweet vibes from Cynthia and Brittany (and a special, huge shout...
out to Destiny!!!!). We felt we were in amazing hands every step of the way-- no question was silly, no detail was missed by these amazing women, and we really could not have asked for anything to have gone differently. Cynthia and Brittany helped us leading up to the wedding weekend and Brittany and Destiny were our on-site team-- everyone has such an amazing personality and by the end of the first day, they felt like part of the family. Cannot recommend EWA enough!!!!!

ers most, she keeps everything running smoothly while remaining cool, calm, and collected.
Every wedding she coordinates looks like it fell out of a magazine, and she’s not afraid to roll up her sleeves and help wherever needed. At last weekend's wedding, I walked inside to restock the bar, and found Cynthia, elbow deep in suds, washing dishes with a smile on her face!
The way she cares for her couples goes far beyond the typical planner-client relationship. She invests her heart into every event, and it shows in the joy and trust of those she serves.
Working with Cynthia is always a privilege, and I can’t recommend her highly enough to couples seeking a planner who is equal parts professional, creative, and caring.

If you’re looking for help planning your wedding just stop right now and make sure to book with Events by Extraordinary Wedding Arches. Cynthia went truly above and beyond what my ...
husband and I could have even asked for. She was attentive, detailed, and so understanding throughout the whole wedding planning process. We felt prioritized as a couple and well taken care of. Her expertise and vendor recommendations were unmatched. She helped us plan the wedding of our dreams down to the finest detail, nothing was forgotten. She kept us on track and on budget. She went the extra mile with little things like brining blankets for our guests in case they got cold at night which isn’t even something we had thought of. She remains calm under pressure, and gets it done with such a positive attitude and always a big smile on her face.
We went through an unexpected event on the day of our wedding and Cynthia was essential. She helped us navigate something difficult and continued to ensure everything would be okay. We ended up having such a beautiful wedding and literally could not have done it without her. I would like to also say Michael was wonderful as well, he works alongside Cynthia and was there for us to help ensure things went smoothly. I would give them more than 5 starts but that’s the maximum. We felt like family and can’t thank them enough for everything! A big thank you again to you both!! If we did it all again no question we would book them immediately!

edding 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!

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 w...
hen 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 :)

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.

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!

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!

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.

nicating 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.

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!!

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. W...
e 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!

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!

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 seaml...
ess. 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 :)

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!!!

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 weddin...
g 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!

Hi Jesika,
I honestly loved every moment I spent with you. You made my job so much easier...
with your attention to detail and your decisiveness. Putting your decor together with the vibrant colors of The Saguaro was so much fun. You have a job with me should you move to California. Fingers crossed!
