Working with Crystal at Cherry Blossom Planning Factory was the best idea anybody could have proposed. As a busy resident physician living many states away from family, my friend Anna recommended Crystal. I had been to Anna's wedding that Crystal had planned, and every little detail was so authentic and genuinely Anna and her husband that my fiancé and I knew we would be getting an impeccable service.
Cherry Blossom Planning Factory helped us throw the wedding we envisioned completely from the overlying theme of fusing cultures: Polish, American, Lebanese, down the grape leaves and kielbasa served at our cocktail hour. When I suggested Lebanese dancers the week before the weeding, Crystal found a way to make it work. When we really our saber arch but didn't want our guests to freeze in the cold, Crystal found a way to incorporate it into our indoor ceremony. She did not miss a beat, she did not skip a detail. She kept me going when my schedule dragged me down ad she worked around our hectic military demands by bringing cake samples to our house.
She is amazing, and she will spin up the tornado that wedding planning can be to give you the wedding of your dreams, while keeping it as stress-free as possible. You need Cherry Blossom Planning Factory in your life.

Don't even know where to begin -- Crystal and her team are top notch! From the beginning of the planning process to the end, Crystal was consistently responsive, professional, and just a true pleasure to work with. There are times when you meet a person in their professional setting where you can just tell they are exactly in the line of work they are meant to be. Crystal is, without a doubt, one of those people. She has such a positive attitude, handles challenges with a smile, is a great listener and contributed great ideas to our overall vision while continuing to nurturing that vision. You can not go wrong with securing Crystal and her team to help you with wedding coordination!!!

My new husband already left a review, but I think everyone needs to hear from the bride's perspective, lol. Crystal was so much help, I cannot imagine what it would have been like without her. For months, any time I had a random question (literally about anything - alcohol, etiquette, budget, etc.) or a mini panic moment, Crystal was always available to offer encouragement and advice without being pushy... but I always ended up taking her advice anyway because she definitely knows her shit! If we ran into wedding planning snags, she was great about coming up with alternative ideas. She helped us find better ways to communicate with a vendor we were having trouble reaching. She was present at every appointment we asked her to come to, she is incredibly organized, and she makes you feel like you're the only couple she is working with. Every time we met a vendor and they found out Crystal was our wedding planner, all of them would immediately gush about how fantastic she is!

On our wedding day, she was on point with everything, but there are two things I remember most. First, she made some executive decor decisions (and it looked so beautiful). When I saw it, I realized there must have been some snags on our wedding day that I know nothing about because she took care of it without ever bothering me. Second, she refilled our water glasses during dinner. I know that sounds so insignificant, but in that moment I was really taken aback because it showed how much she cared. In the chaos of a wedding, I imagine most planners will not A) notice you are out of water or B) refill it for you themselves. She is just an all-around genuinely great person and it shows in her work. I highly recommend!
