We love Cheers Darling Events!!!

We absolutely love working with Kaitlin at Cheers Darling! As a photographer, it’s such a joy to collaborate with a planner who’s not only organized and efficient but also warm and kind. She creates a welcoming atmosphere while keeping everything running smoothly on the wedding day. Her wedding designs are always stunning and perfectly unique to each couple. All the couples we work with LOVE her, and it’s easy to see why. Highly recommend!!! -- Hannah Bjorndal with La Vie En Rose

The wedding of our dreams!

We started working with Jane only ~5 months out from our logistically complex, 180-person wedding after parting ways with a prior planner and she swooped in and pulled together an unbelievably beautiful wedding that completely exceeded our expectations. I had a million loose and sometimes contradictory ideas on design for the reception that I couldn't square in my head, but Jane immediately understood what I was envisioning, created a beautiful design, and then went above and beyond to execute it on very short timelines.
Throughout the process, she was super responsive, super helpful, and a lot of fun to work with. Not only did she make our wedding gorgeous and smooth, but she and her team kept me stress-free in the final days leading up to the wedding and throughout the weekend so I could be in the moment and focus on having fun with my family and friends. Bottom line - Jane is amazing!!! Hire her!!!

The best planner EVER!

From the very beginning, it was very obvious that Kaitlin is passionate about her job. Throughout the entire planning process, she was extremely organized, responsive, and professional (not to mention she is an all around lovely human with a calming presence!). She listened to my vision and gave amazing suggestions when I needed them. Our wedding day was exactly what I envisioned and it would not have been possible without Kaitlin! She and her team on the wedding day went above and beyond to make our day the best day ever. You are guaranteed to have an amazing experience if you work with Cheers Darling Events!!

Nothing less than extraordinary

Where do I even begin?! Kaitlin was my planner before I even knew my husband. She was the planner for my sisters wedding in 2018 and I knew without a doubt that I had to have her. Kaitlin is trustworthy, creative and beyond on top of it. I had zero doubt in my mind that any opinion or decision I asked her input on was genuine and honest for what my vision was. Not only was my venue located in a destination island, the reception venue I chose isn’t normally made for weddings which made me even more sure of my need and trust in Kaitlin being the only person for the job. Her eye for details and gorgeous ideas provided me with endless confidence that the day was going to be nothing short of perfect (which it was!). No matter the wild details I would think of (why not add custom playing cards?!) or finding vendors in our destination- Kaitlin was on top of it in finding the best of the best within our means. She went above and beyond to make sure we had every aspect possible of my vision was handled and kept me on time with every vendors needs. Day of the wedding- even week off- was nothing but a DREAM knowing her and Jane had everything under control. Our wedding day even threw an unexpected beach rain (with every aspect of the day being outside) and everyone still talks about how they would have never known there was a hiccup in the plan. I bugged Kaitlin with every indecisive decision I couldn’t make and at every hour of the day and I felt as if I was her only client with how on top of it she was (when I know for a fact she had post Covid wedding craziness to deal with!) I have no doubt in my mind that my wedding would not of been close to the day I dreamed of without Kaitlin. I could go on and on for reasons why and will tell anyone that will listen that they need her by their side when planning their wedding! She is one of the most wonderful humans and getting to work with her was nothing short of first class experience. Thank you to the whole Cheers Darling Team, it was truly a pleasure and an honor.

Absolutely perfect wedding thanks to Cheers Darling!

My family and I will never stop talking about how much we loved Kaitlin and Cheers Darling Events!! From our first phone call I instantly felt like Kaitlin understood and could verbalize my vision, and had the exact personality I was looking for - straightforward and coolheaded, but also creative and fun.

Kaitlin went on to make both the year ahead of the wedding and the wedding weekend itself as stress free as weddings can be. Her tools for managing budget, tasks, guest lists, etc. kept my (now) husband and I feeling totally on top of things throughout the process. Her attention to detail is unmatched, and she never once dropped a single task, meeting, or little design detail. Kaitlin’s creativity and eye for design was also impeccable. I knew I could trust her advice as we went into discussions with the florists, did our rentals, etc. There were many things I had strong opinions on throughout the process, but anything I wasn’t sure on I just deferred to Kaitlin’s judgement knowing she would make the right call- she always did!

On the weekend of the wedding, if anything did go wrong I would have absolutely no idea because Kaitlin handled everything with grace and a total sense of calm. Her assistants were also fantastic and brought a great energy to the bridal suite and pictures while Kaitlin was busy ensuring every single detail at the venue was perfectly executed.

Lastly, one of the many benefits of working with Kaitlin was the great connections she has around DC. I found my photographer and florist through her, and they were both so incredible I can’t imagine using anyone else. My wedding was not in DC but she even had contacts in Philly for my vendors there like HMU, which helped me feel safe with who I was choosing knowing that she had worked with them before and trusted them.

While I certainly hope I never have another wedding, I must say I’m sad that this is the only chance I’ll have to work with Kaitlin. :) Highly highly recommend!!

Best choice you can make for your wedding!

I could not say enough good things about Kaitlin and the team at Cheers Darling. From florals to design to day-of-coordination, every single thing was handled with the utmost care, organization, and expertise. Kaitlin was able to take my ideas and style and turn it into a whole vision. Her client tracker was immensely helpful and made me feel calm and secure knowing that all of our ducks were in a row and that we were on schedule. On the day of the wedding, I felt so incredibly taken care of and didn't have to worry about a single thing. The Cheers Darling Team is a group of kind, professional, wedding wizards and working with them is the best thing you can do for yourself to ensure your event and the planning process are stress-free (date I say even enjoyable)!

A Toast to the Cheers Darling Team

From our very first interaction, Kaitlin just got me. She verbalized my vision even while I was still working to conceptualize what I wanted. She stayed steps ahead in the process - proactively prepping me to keep me on track, encouraging us every step of the way. Kaitlin's guidance throughout this wedding journey has been so helpful - the most creative ideas, incredibly organized plans, and meticulous execution. Day-of Kaitlin was a calming force in the midst of chaos, allowing us to soak in all the incredible moments of the day. She truly thought of everything. I am so grateful for all that Kaitlin and the entire Cheers Darling team has done to make this dream a reality and our wedding day pure magic!

Exceptional Service & the Bridal BFF You Didn't Know You Need

Where do I begin? Mike and I were engaged in April 2021, still in the height of Covid-weddings. We wanted our wedding to be authentically ‘us,’ and were willing to wait until 2022 for that special day. We began planning immediately and quickly realized that with the demands of our jobs, we needed a partner to help execute our vision. I interviewed over TEN Wedding Planners in the DC area and loved every one of them; but Kaitlin stood out to me because of her creativity, vision, and genuine desire to ‘do more’ to ensure we had the wedding of our dreams. No idea that I envisioned was too big, and that made me feel like she was ‘the one.’ Kaitlin quickly became the ‘Wedding-Planning Bestie’ that I didn’t know I needed. She was quick to respond to my many modes of communication: Instagram DM’s, Text Messages, Phone Calls, and Google Hangouts, she was always there with an answer for me. She kept our dream at the forefront of the planning process and helped us to achieve everything we wanted within budget. Kaitlin made wedding planning fun! She helped us to make our wedding personal and found ways to accommodate our requests even when the task seemed impossible. Anytime I had a new outside-of-the-box idea, she shared in excitement and always knew a vendor that could execute exactly what I wanted, which is a true testament to her relationships within the wedding industry. On our wedding day, Kaitlin gave me peace of mind and made sure I could enjoy every moment. Her timeline for the day was flawless, the Cheers Darling Team was supportive, and they made the day seem effortless. They always say ‘expect something to go wrong’ and truthfully, nothing did. We look back on our day with the fondest memories of each moment because we were able to focus purely on each other, and that’s what marrying your best friend is all about. Thank you to Kaitlin, and the rest of the Cheers Darling Team for helping to make our wedding the best day of our lives.

Goes Above and Beyond

Every single wedding vendor I spoke to — and it was A LOT due to many switch ups for my Covid postpone wedding — absolutely raved about Kaitlin. Her reputation is stellar.

She is so unflappable, non-judgmental, and just generally a helpful person. I also don’t think I know of another planner in DC who has built a successful business from such a young age, making her extremely experienced despite being younger compared to other planners. Truly impressive.

And she seems to have found her calling … her taste and range is incredible! She helped me plan (and re-plan) a destination micro wedding in the winter AND a DC early fall/late summer wedding. And when I say “re-plan,” I mean, we completely re-did almost all of the design elements of my DC wedding when we moved it outside six weeks out due to the Delta variant. New linens, new rentals, new flowers, etc., etc. We also got a new band since our original one wasn’t fully vaccinated and a new photographer since our first one had a baby. And Kaitlin was nothing but helpful!

You’d be lucky to have her as a planner!

The best wedding planner!

Some couples have a wedding day - my husband and I had a wedding year, thanks to the disruptions of the pandemic. With our wedding scheduled for fall of 2020, we had to quickly come up with a "plan B." We ended up with a perfectly executed backyard wedding, with most of our friends and family watching on Zoom, followed a year later by a larger in-person wedding celebration that didn't try to recreate a moment, but added to it.

During this unprecedented time, Kaitlin Przezdziecki of Cheers Darling Events was there to advise us, listen to us, manage vendors, recalibrate plans, get creative, remove obstacles and then deliver peace of mind on each special day. She helped us find cost effective ways to execute our vision (including with respect to her own services) - finding savings where possible with no diminishment on the experiences, and renegotiating vendor contracts in a way that felt like a 'win-win.'

Kaitlin always made us feel like we were her only clients. And her team and suggested vendors were equally outstanding. We absolutely recommend hiring Kaitlin and Cheers Darling Events!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

RIMAS FILMS RIMAS FILMS Wedding Videographers

October has come and gone and RIMAS FILMS had an amazing time filming so many wonderful weddings! Some of them were exceptionally formal with a number of guests I couldn’t count and some of them were very intimate and private. Yet all of them would have not been so perfect without the right guidance and support in organization. I bow my head to all the hardworking wedding planners and their teams. And on the most recent occasion I had a great opportunity to meet Kaitlin, Cheers Darling Events. Kaitlin was the wedding planner for the spectacular wedding I have filmed in Washington DC. She was a pleasure to work with! Kaitlin was very polite and so helpful. She seemed to be ahead of everything and aware of everything around her. Approachable and widely smiling, Kaitlin helped the vendors, if she could, and guided the guests. The wedding was a success, because of the hard work from Cheers Darlings Events.

Dub C DJs Dub C DJs Wedding DJs

Our DJs have worked with Kaitlin and her team on a number of occasions and they are true professionals when it comes to event planning, design, and logistics. Before the event, Kaitlin was on top of all the small details and rapidly responded to all correspondences, thereby ensuring that we had everything we needed to prepare the DJ service for our events. And the day-of, Kaitlin possessed a rare blend of authoritative calmness in orchestrating and overseeing the ceremonies and wedding receptions. Looking forward to working with Cheers Darling Events again soon!
