We partnered with Andrea VandeBerg of Cherry Blossom Events as our wedding planner. From the minute we met her it was wedding-planner-love-at-first-hug! She was warm, fun, creative, confident, professional, and shared in our excitement for our vision of what the day would be. Andrea also should get an award for her patience! We planned our wedding long-distance which required a lot of flexibility surrounding our schedules and availability to meet and plan.
Andrea helped us to identify ways to make our vision come to life while still working within our budget. She was unfailingly optimistic and positive that we could make things work just the way we hoped for them to work without sacrificing any of the details. She took all of my ideas into account and offered lovely, creative additions in at every corner to make things perfect. She was also a dream when it came to connecting us with phenomenal vendors (a great example of this was her help finding our hair and makeup team, McKenzie & Kirsten from Kenzie's Kuts who turned out to be perfect for us.)
She kept me on track with all of the little planning details and my to-do list. She made sure that I was covering all of my bases (brides-to-be, trust me on this one, without a planner there is no way to catch all of items you're responsible for ahead of time!) Because of Andrea's phenomenal help with planning and details things on the big day went off without a hitch.
Finally, the weekend of the wedding Andrea and her partner Sarah (despite super chilly weather and having to work outside all day long) created an event that was far above and beyond what we had dreamed of. They turned a barn into a fairy tale for us. There wasn't a time in the midst of running around for photos, family, friends, and activities that they weren't smiling and injecting words of confidence and assurance when I was worried about any hiccups in plans.
Please hire them for your next event! You won't regret it. We'll be utilizing their services again in the future, we are sure of it. read more
