Exceeded expectations

Amazing is the Word for this Company!!!!
If you want personal attention, if you want someone to actually care about your wedding day and has a personal touch, this is the company for you!
From the very beginning it was a smooth process for my beach wedding, Any questions were answered , any concerns addressed and on the wedding day everything went beautifully.
The Officiant was gracious and kind, the coordinator was on top of everything, and I want to recommend Cherished Ceremonies for they are worth their weight in gold.

Perfect & Easy

I’m a local to Florida and wanted a small wedding on a beach with a small reception, but didn’t want to do the planning. We went with the boho sunset package and to say that I was blown away with how it tuned out, would be an understatement. They far exceeded my expectations! Communication, staff, decor, and planning was top notch. I was so happy with the outcome as were my guests. Thank you so much!

Beautiful wedding and great people to work with

I got married on Clearwater beach on oct 21 2023. First I want to say cherished ceremonies was very responsive and walked me through Every thing. I live out of state and they were nice enough to get the beach permit for me as well. When I was looking at prices for beach weddings and what was all included this was by far the best I found! Most of them don’t play a song of your choice for the aisle walk unless you bring your own speaker and a lot didn’t offer a first dance. Most the the packages I saw from other places for the same price was just an arch. Not really any decor or ect. The wedding was beautifully set up! Also reverend Rodriguez was great and so much fun. My family LOVED him as did me and my husband. The photographer they hired was also super nice and very sweet and chill guy. Thank you guys so much again !

Exceptional Team

From my very first communication with Vilma, she showed immense dedication and passion for her craft. They took the time to get to know us as a couple, understanding our personalities, preferences, and vision for the day. She answered all my questions and provided helpful information even before the dotted line was signed. The team was always accessible, responsive, and genuinely caring from day one.
They handled even the most challenging situations with grace and poise, anticipated potential issues, and were proactive in finding solutions, ensuring we were never burdened with unnecessary stress. This allowed my partner and me to enjoy the wedding planning process and focus on the excitement of our upcoming nuptials.
Their attention to detail was remarkable, and they went out of their way to ensure every aspect of our wedding was absolutely perfect.
The decorations exceeded my expectations, and we received so many compliments about their beauty.
I would recommend Cherished Ceremonies without hesitation.

Incredible Ceremony

Cherished Ceremonies ended up being a huge blessing for us in more ways than one, which completely surprised me! First, our original ceremony company coordinator we choose 1 year prior to our wedding, backed out with only a few months prior to our set date (during the busiest wedding season). I was in a panic to find anyone, let alone someone that was actually good quality, professional, and of good value. Well, Cherished Ceremonies put that stress and anxiety at ease when they aligned with my date, our budget, and even a few of our custom asks. Vilma was very responsive, I never waited a day to receive a response to an email with any inquire. She was always on top of it all, addressing all of my questions and concerns. Throughout this planning process, I found that a lot of these companies do not like to meet the bride/groom's requests and wish to stick with their set offerings/plans. However, CC allowed us to pick from various packages to build our own if we wanted and even was 100% open to a few custom requests, which was amazing. Not all brides may have a unique vision, but I did. Additionally, they provided us an officiant (free of charge) that was incredible! He was extremely kind and patient. Him and CC took photos for us and shared them after the ceremony which was very unexpected and so sweet!

To say they were anything less than exceptional, I'd be lying. Our original ceremony coordinator backing out was a blessing because we never have found CC and our officiant who provided us our picture perfect wedding. HIGHLY recommend for any couple getting married on the gulf coast of Florida. Do NOT pass them up. Trust me when I say, I looked everywhere and they are by far the best price and value out there! They provide a personal touch that so many companies do not.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
