Cherish was and ABSOLUTE dream to work with. Our wedding would not have happened the way it did without her. She was very organized, insightful, full of knowledge and made our wedding better than we could have dreamed. She helped to keep me on task throughout the planning process, so nothing got overwhelming. She took our vision and brought it to life. It was very nice to hand things over to her or say "I trust your judgement" on anything that popped up. Outside of doing an amazing job she is always the sweetest person, fun to talk with, and made the planning process fun. Anyone I told who we hired as our Wedding Planner was very excited to hear we hired Cherish with Dream Weddings & Events! Having her was truly the best decision and worth the investment to ensure we enjoyed not only the planning process but also got to fully enjoy our wedding day! Thank you for everything, Cherish!
Planning a wedding from halfway across the US is no simple task. But we knew from our first meeting with Cherish that her diligence, focus, confidence and most importantly (for us at least) stellar personality were going to make this process streamlined and fun!
Working with Cherish really was a dream. She pursued all avenues while we were considering vendors and we were beyond pleased with each one she brought onboard.
Her calmness set the tone for our whole planning process. No matter what curveball came our way, she always stayed positive and professional. We would highly recommend her and her team!
I had the pleasure of working with Cherish and her team recently, and as a fellow vendor, I must say that she is excellent at what she does. Her communication is on point and her attention to detail helps set her apart from the rest. I look forward to working with you again, Cherish!
Cherrish was AMAZING! She was always and consistently was matching our vibe, and truly understood our vision that we wanted for our big day. She gave suggestions, but never pushed an “idea” or “tradition” we didn’t want. Her attention to detail was exceptional, it was so amazing and refreshing to being actually relaxed on my (our) big day. She’s pop in and say “this is ready for you, how would you like it, are you okay with that” so kind. The ONLY thing I tell people who are planning a wedding and don’t know where to start? “Hire Cherrish. Hands down. I mean, if you want a stress free wedding day” 💖
Wow, where do I begin? Cherish was my lifesaver for the wedding. She was so professional, caring, energetic, and very creative! She was super easy to work with, and I always felt calm after I discussed some of the concerns/fears that I had with her. She was the best planner that I could have asked for. My husband really liked working with Cherish as well. Her assistant, also did a great job of helping out throughout the night. What I truly appreciate about Cherish is her professionalism and communication. I appreciate her making it clear when she will be available to respond and letting me know her "office hours" from the beginning, which I found was not very common among the planners and coordinators. I also love how Cherish is aware of the current trends of weddings, current and traditional elements. But I also love how she is not a very pushy person, but rather approaches it as a suggestion and would tell us the reasons why she thinks this way.
Best planner I could have asked for! Thank you so much, Cherish! You are truly the best!
I cannot thank Cherish enough and I cannot recommend her enough to future brides. She is a seasoned professional and that was invaluable to us.
She was patient, kind, funny, radiant, accommodating, realistic - but willing to help us execute on our dream day. She also had a network of vendors and preferred partners to help make the day come alive. With so many options out there, having a vendor or partner vetted independent of a venue just provides a certain peace of mind and the vendors we selected through her recommendation were S-tier.
I didn't have to stress because I knew I had fantastic support with Cherish. She was even able to understand my vision and KNOW that she could transform our event space to meet my expectations.
Words don't even do her justice to be honest and I miss our check-ins because I miss her. Do yourself a favor and allocate the budget for Cherish because she will be the best investment you make for your big day.
I could not have pulled off such a beautiful and flawless day without Cherish's help! Through all of my panic (like my original photographer canceling - eek!) and never ending questions, Cherish kept me calm and on task. Her team handled everything on my wedding day and ensured that I didn't have to stress about the little details. I also really valued having her knowledge on local vendors and her help with connecting and booking them. Well worth the investment for her support and partnership. Thank you so much, Cherish!
I can't say enough about how amazing Cherish is. She made our wedding day feel easy and stress-free, and she did it with so much ease herself. She was always on top of everything and guided us where we needed to go. Everything from the food, to the decor, and the music was all executed perfectly and our wedding truly was the best day ever. If you want everything done right, I highly recommend Cherish. We couldn't have done it without her!
My exact wedding vision was possible because of Cherish. My husband and I planned our entire wedding from NYC, which came with many difficulties, but Cherish helped make the process as seamless and stress-free as possible. Not only was she responsive and extremely skilled, but she was also a treat to work with. Very personable and relaxed, which is what you need when stress is high. You don’t need to look any further for your dream coordinator!
Cherish and the rest of the team were absolutely incredible from start to finish planning our wedding! We had rather non-traditional plans and she was able to coordinate with the vendors and set up exactly what we wanted. Her communication was top notch and took a huge weight off our shoulders for our big day
I cannot recommend her enough!
Cherish is incredibly empathetic and professional. She is good at setting and maintaining boundaries. With the amount of experience she has our wedding day went by smoothly and was coordinated very well. Leading up to the day she kept open communication and always ran decisions by us and accounted for any that we had brought to the table, We plan to hire her for our baby shower(s) in the future. Thank you so much!!!
Cherish and her team at Dream Weddings & Events were absolutely amazing! Everything from planning the big day to the actual big day, Cherish responds quickly, thinks of every little detail, and offers many many options based on your budget and your vision for your big day. I will definitely be recommending her to everyone I know!
5 Star Wedding Planner – Cherish created a wonderfully elegant, relaxed, sophisticated wedding event for my husband and I - we could not be happier with the outcome. We brought Cherish on to plan our event (at a hotel in NY) earlier last year - we had less than two and a half months to plan, but I would not have changed a thing.
The venue was perfect and exactly what we wanted, the food was wonderful, and I am still getting calls and emails telling me what a special, unique wedding we had, like nothing many of our guests had been to. Cherish has a knack for providing choices that work for her client, and the ability to simplify situations and move everyone forward. She never told me that there was something we could not do, and was always very supportive of my decisions, while steering me in directions that she thought would work, as needed. She performed additional tasks that I did not expect her to do at the beginning of our planning, with no complaints at all. Very importantly, she managed the vendors and the timeline, enabling me to carry on with the rest of my busy life, the whole reason we hired a wedding planner.
I HIGHLY recommend Cherish and would hire her again in a heartbeat.”
Cherish made the wedding planning process feel manageable, especially because we were trying to organize everything from across the country. She was responsive, thoughtful, and organized. She helped in the vendor selection process, including outreach and negotiation, which was incredibly helpful. She was also the day-of coordinator and made the whole event run smoothly -- we didn't have to think about the order of operations and getting people places, etc.
There are not enough words for me to describe how THANKFUL and GRATEFUL I am for our wedding planner Cherish! She was absolutely amazing; she was so awesome to work with and she went above and beyond expectations. She was very involved from the minute me and my now husband met with her. Having her there on our wedding day to oversee everything and make sure that all the elements and personal touches were in place and all the vendors were on point made our day so relaxing. She created a detailed timeline and design for our wedding and was the key person to implement it which allowed me and my husband the luxury of soaking everything in and really enjoy our special day. In the end, we felt like guests at our own wedding; knowing that someone else was taking care of everything allowed not only me and my husband, but our entire bridal party, family, and our friends to have an amazing stress-free day. I would highly recommend hiring a wedding planner to facilitate the day of the wedding at least, if not the month leading up to it. Hiring Cherish at Dream Weddings & Events was by far one of the best decisions I ever made! I am so thrilled and very happy that I booked her as my wedding planner and would highly recommend her to anyone!
Cherish was a wonderful day of coordinator. She really helped keep things calm throughout the wedding day. She offered more than just day of wedding service leading up to the big day, which was a huge help. She was on time and even stayed late to help clean up. Definitely recommend!
Working with Cherish and dream weddings & events was fantastic. The communication was easy, often and I felt like I could ask her anything at anytime. She provided great recommendations and helped me organize everything leading up to the day, she was a wonderful resource with her vendors suggestions and helped to alleviate communication. Cherish was a pleasant and calming presence for the ceremony and day of coordinating with a sweet demeanor and an eye for layout and details. I couldn't recommend her enough and loved working with her for my wedding!
Cherish and her team were amazing. She kept this bride on track and kept checking in with me to make sure everything was taken care of. Day of was great! Cherish understood the vision I was going for and kept everything on schedule. I have a mother who started freaking out at the last minute and Cherish was able to calm my mother and make sure no issues happened. With the crazy Oregon heat we had her advice on what we could do to keep everyone cool and sane, the misters are something every comment on how smart we were to have. They looked out for us and made sure we got food (who knew how hard it is to get food at your own wedding!) The day was wonderful and we couldn't have asked for anything more!
From beginning to end, Cherish made the entire experience easy and straightforward. She was very prompt in responses to any questions I had and her vendor recommendations were all wonderful. Thanks to her, I don't think we could have had a more perfect day! Everything ran incredibly smoothly, there were no hiccups, and we couldn't be happier! I would absolutely recommend Cherish to anybody in search of a wedding planner - you cannot go wrong with her! Seriously, I can't recommend her enough!
Cherish was amazing through and through. She always made time for us to make sure things were taken care of. Never once during our big day did we have to think about whether something was good to go or even consider having to make any friends or family help out. Cherish took our moodboards, vendor relationships, set things up beautifully and everything was seamless, ahead of schedule and made our day unforgettable and stress free. So happy to have her on our team!!
Book this wedding planner! Her energy and attention to detail was outstanding! Her professionalism was top notch. Cherish took special care of me from the beginning to the end. She nailed it in every way!
I can not thank Cherish and her team at Dream Weddings and Events enough!!! from our first meeting until the morning after our wedding Cherish was by our side taking care of everything! i even joked with my (new) wife that i might be marrying Cherish instead because she's so incredible!! They set up our reception location beautifully, we were completely stunned with how gorgeous everything turned out. everything ran so smoothly and we completely attribute it all to their hard work. I would recommend Dream Weddings and Events for everyone and anyone who wants a stress free and beautiful wedding because they will make it happen for you.
I couldn't have better things to say about working with Cherish and her team. Throughout the planning process, Cherish was attentive, organized and resourceful. Cherish helped to alleviate any additional stress leading up to the wedding by providing helpful tips and resources that kept me and my husband on track for our big day. She took the reigns on our rehearsal day and made sure all our attendants (and little ones!) knew exactly what they were doing and made it fun and enjoyable throughout. On our wedding day, I knew I had absolutely nothing to stress about because Cherish and her team were on it. Every little detail, every step of the way. I couldn't have asked for a better planner and am so grateful that we picked Cherish to help us throughout our wedding planning. I would recommend Cherish and her team to absolutely anyone!
Both my partner and I have demanding schedules so a planner was essential. Cherish and her team worked so hard to get all of our vendors from our original wedding date transferred over to our new date. Dream Weddings and Events also provided us with their preferred vendor list for any aspect we were missing. Guests are still telling us about all the fun they had and how gorgeous it all looked. We urge you to book Cherish!
Cherish and her team were absolutely amazing! She was so helpful, super quick to respond, coordinated all our other vendors flawlessly, and had amazing ideas. She made sure our day was absolutely perfect and ran perfectly on schedule!
Cherish and her team are amazing! We planned our wedding on a very short timeline due to Covid and a venue change, but Cherish helped us secure all of our vendors and coordinate the many moving pieces. She was incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and helpful. Cherish had an answer and a fix for everything; I am so grateful to her for the logistical and emotional support. Cherish and her team were absolutely flawless, and our wedding ran super smoothly because of her leadership and coordination. My family and friends all noticed her care and attention to detail throughout the rehearsal and the wedding; they loved her as well! I highly recommend Cherish and Dream Weddings & Events to everyone; she is truly the best!
Thank you so much for your coordination and help over the last few weeks and on our day! We recognize our planning process was a fast pivot (60 days!) and we have really enjoyed working with you especially because you jumped right in to our crazy ideas and were relentless on finding us options for all requests. Then, day of was a hectic and hot one and we recognize how much effort you put in to bring our vision to life. Thank you! We thought each space looked absolutely stunning and I know you were extremely busy to make that happen. I also didn’t have to stress about anything and I was able to enjoy the entire day. Thank you so much!
Lastly, Cherish was SO communicative - multiple emails a day, super detail oriented. We really appreciated her commitment to our day and could not be happier with her preparation.
Hiring a professional event planner who understands all your wants and needs is so important. They help you stay on budget, free up time so you can focus on everything else and help with details you may not have thought about. That’s where “Dream Weddings & Events” comes in and why hiring a pro matters. Trust me. You’re going to want them on your team.
As a professional events photographer, I’ve pretty much seen it all. Some go smoother than others and then there are some you wonder what went wrong - 9 out of 10 the events that WOW, make a lasting impression (and leave your guests talking for days) are the ones who have “Dream Weddings & Events” on their team. I’ve seen first hand what they can do and every time I’m blown away.
If you have a wedding, a celebration big or small that requires detail planning I cannot recommend “Dream Weddings & Events” enough. They will make your dreams become a reality. You will not regret it. I promise!
Our wedding day was by the far the most special day. Cherish with Dream Weddings and her team literally made our dreams come true. From start to finish I could not have asked for a more dedicated planner working to make everything happen. It was truly a magical day. From the details to the design and the execution of how everything turned out was beyond expectations. Not to mention gaining a friend through it all to make it even more special! I would recommend Cherish and her team!
Cherish was amazing to work with! She made day of coordination so smooth! It was such a relief having her onsite. I was able to enjoy getting ready and didn’t worry about deliveries, set up or the million other things! We were so lucky to have her help us make our big day unforgettable.
From the beginning of our planning process, Cherish was incredible! She made us feel heard, gave great suggestions and was always just an email or call away when we had any last minute questions. On the day of our wedding, she did a phenomenal of job making the venue look absolutely beautiful and captured the exact theme and feel that we were going for. I truly could not have made it through the day without her!
Words cannot express my gratitude for Cherish with DWevents. My wedding was something out of a magazine! It was the PERFECT wedding and it is all because of her. I came to her with a simple idea and she worked her magic and brought it to life. If you think you don't need a wedding planner, think again and if you think you can go with just any one THINK AGAIN!
Cherish is a top-notch planner and I am incredibly lucky to have had her help. She always made us feel as though she had everything 100% under control. Trust me, you want this in a planner!! As far as wedding design, she was on point with my vision and truly brought it all to life. I loved everything she came up with! She respected my input and added her special designer eye to my ideas. The day of the wedding ran so smoothly. Everything, every person, every moment...
THIS TEAM ROCKS! I have hosted a lot of large corporate events around the country and few have gone so above and beyond like Dream Weddings and Events does. The event was so lovely people are still talking about it. Can't wait to rebook!
