Cherished Occasions was a LIFESAVER! Amazing vision, ideas, execution, and ability to stick to a budget.

Cody did an amazing job planning our wedding - he was a lifesaver!! I originally went with Erin McLean Events to plan our two-day wedding and they were HORRIBLE. About 3 months before our wedding they quit and hadn't booked a single vendor. Cody came in and calmed our very anxious nerves immediately. Within one week, he had done more than they had done in months - and stayed within budget. Cody has a remarkable talent for really understanding a vision and making it 10X better. For example, I told him I wanted an intimate wedding with mostly family. Cody had the amazing idea to make our ceremony seating a circle! I told him I wanted a low-cost photobooth. He created a more beautiful backdrop than I even imagined. Our sendoff was at night, and I didn't want sparklers but had no idea what to do. Cody had a unique idea (and the execution) to create LED clear balloons that people let go as we drove away. At every point - food, decor, vendors - Cody brought to life a wedding that was more beautiful and special than I even planned. Additionally, he was great coordinating with all the vendors. He made sure everyone knew the plan and kept track to stay on budget. I spoke with many of our vendors, each raved about Cody's ability to communicate a vision so they could execute it. You will not find a harder worker and a more talented planner than Cody. He had the difficult task of planning a two-day wedding event, and picking up the slack and emotional stress left by Erin McLean Events, and crushed it. Thank you so much Cody!!!
