Cherry Blossom Weddings & Events

as committed to making the process as easy as possible for us. Alison immediately took action to help us find the best vendors and kickstart the planning process. She was always available for our calls and questions, even patiently fielding requests from family members who wanted to be involved. Alison managed the entire process so that all vendors worked seamlessly together to execute the perfect wedding, and making planning way less stressful for us. Whether it was hand delivering cake tastings the Friday before a wedding she was planning, or finding a videographer last minute when we changed our minds, Alison handled everything with ease. And our wedding could not have been more perfect! We still have family and friends calling us to tell us how beautiful the event was, how they've never had wedding food taste that good, and how magical the entire weekend was. None of this could have happened without Alison's leadership and dedication. We are so grateful to her for planning the wedding of our dreams.

certainty our wedding could not have been done without Felicia! She somehow figured out everything I wanted perfectly when I had no idea. She keeps you on time and on track before and through the wedding. She feels like a friend, and when you have nerves for a wedding, that’s what you need. To sum it up, thank you thank you thank you Felicia! You made our most memorable day perfect in every way 💕

Choose Cherry Blossom Wedding Events for all your planning needs, you won't be sorry!! Thank you Felicia for everything you did. I wish there were more words to describe our appreciation for all your hard work, dedication, and commitment. Thank you!!!!

tive, thought, and inspiration. She truly made our day everything we could have ever dreamed of. From the very beginning meeting for venue tours we knew she was the one to take charge of our vision. She immediately worked to get to know my husband and I, as well as our families, knowing down the road it would mean so much to be able to gear our day to the way our we would enjoy the celebration with our specific guests and families. She immediately coordinated vendors and communicated all needs, anticipated obstacles and timeline, and executed our plan and weekend flawlessly. She anticipated weather, road closures, deliveries, headaches, traditions, photos, music and more. She was warm, excited, realistic, and supportive of both us and our vendor teams, which made for the most wonderful teamwork and execution. There is an unbelievable amount of planning and discussion that goes into coordinated multiple teams of people with their own specialties. Months to years of work all to come together for a 6+ hours of an event and work seamlessly, and Felicia the woman for the job. I couldn't recommend her enough as I felt that she wasn't only there for our needs and wants, but for our lifetime memories of the greatest day of our lives. Thank you so much for everything you did for us!! Couldn't recommend Cherry Blossom Events enough.

s we cannot get married in the DC area with the budget that we had so we had to fire her. We quickly had a meeting with Alison and she immediately put our mind to ease. Each step of the way, Alison was incredibly professional, creative, organized, communicative and open to all ideas. She recommended incredible vendors and also was open to new ones. Planning our wedding truly felt like a breeze. She handled all family dynamics with pose and nothing made her bat an eye. On the wedding day, everything went PERFECT. She is so incredible patient, from the load in to load out, she had every detail and part of the day under control! Her timeline was impeccable, there was no stress whatsoever. She understood our vision and it came to life better than we could have ever dreamed. Best money you will ever spend!!

cia in the partial planning capacity for a 135 person wedding at the National Arboretum, and it was perfect for our needs - she was alongside us for every decision, whether it a vendor she was managing for us or not, making sure everything would come together cohesively for the wedding. As a result, I had such a wonderful experience in the wedding planning process and was able to enjoy every aspect of the year we were engaged with very little stress. Our wedding came together absolutely flawlessly. Thank you Felicia & team for your wonderful execution & making the process an absolute joy!

primarily with Alison and have nothing but good things to say! She is incredibly organized, kind, and calm in all situations. We've worked together on some high-need weddings and everything always runs PERFECTLY. 11 out of 10 recommend Cherry Blossom Weddings and Events!

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

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

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

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

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

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

ssom Events had a '6 week' package which was fantastic! Upon having my first conversation with Alison I could tell she was extremely organized, professional and fun to work with! Her experience in event management in prestigious buildings in the DC area was perfect for mine and my venues needs. Having Alison alongside me during the planning phase was critical to getting all of my details done. She was instrumental in scheduling all of my vendors, delivering welcome bags for my hotel guests and the set up and take down of the decor is worth the price alone! Myself and the groom as well as our families and friends we able to enjoy ourselves and not have to worry about staying behind to pack up or come early to set up. Everything was beautiful and I am so happy with the end result and all of Alison's hard work!

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

er only 5 stars seems, well, almost criminal. From our first meeting with her, Elizabeth was professional, responsive, and completely dedicated, and her attention to detail was truly remarkable. For over a year, throughout the entire planning process, from that first meeting until the end of our ceremony, we never really worried about a thing. And in the end, it was, of course, the perfect wedding. If you think that I'm exaggerating, let me just tell you: Elizabeth is THAT good. I promise you, if you hire her as your wedding planner, it will be the best, smartest decision of your whole wedding. There's so much more I could write here -- about the countless venues she researched, vendors she contacted, details she coordinated, and issues she resolved -- but I hope I've made my point. And to Elizabeth, thank you so much!

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

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

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

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