Sarah was fantastic! Couldn't imagine our wedding without her!

Sarah was an integral part in our wedding planning process and helped our celebrations come to life! We found so much peace having a second set of eyes to review our contracts and help with all the final execution and coordination with our vendors in the month before getting married. On our wedding weekend, Sarah was willing to meet with us as many times as we needed to hand off the final decorations and delivered everything back to our room while we continued to our after party. She was so flexible with availability and made everything feel so effortless. During the wedding, we didn't have to think of any details - Sarah helped execute flawlessly! We could not imagine our wedding without Sarah’s help!

MerryMe Did Excellent Work

MerryMe did an excellent job with our flowers, decor design, and invitations. Cher and Danielle were easy to work with, flexible, and efficient. The reception venue looked great when they were done. My only regret is that I didn't hire them for a full wedding planning service. I think in the long run that would have saved me money and given me even better value.

On point florals, decor, and wedding coordinator ..... Check!

Being from Chicago and getting married in South Bend, I wanted a certain look but being from out-of-town, I had a slow start. After seeing a beautiful wedding done by Merry Me Events at my parent's lakehouse in Michigan, I knew I needed to work with this team. Not only did they recommend the venue I chose but they helped me create my dream wedding by providing our florals, decor, and day of coordinating.

Cher and her team are the real deal! I initially loved their style and on point decor based on their portfolio but their work ethic and professionalsm made them TOP NOTCH.

I loved DIY-ing parts of my wedding but Merry Me events added the final touches that truly made our wedding look modern rustic, chic with a romantic ambiance.

Dani was our Day of Coordinator and being out of town, this was a must! She was a life savor and communicated regularly throughout the process. I honestly felt like I was working with a close friend during the whole planning process - I trusted her opinions, loved her taste and was grateful for her ability to take intiative.

Based on what was spoken about, planned and paid for, I knew it was going to look amazing, but walking into the venue for the first time on our wedding day - it was even better than we could have imagined. Words cannot express how thankful we were to have Dani, the day of coordinator, florals and the decor from Cher's on point design ideas. It all turned out absolutely stunning!

If you are currently on the hunt for a florist, design/decorating team, or Day of Coordinator, you should stop now and go with Merry Me (check it off your list)! I can wholeheartedly recommend them to any bride.

P.S. It's been a few months and we are still getting compliments on our unique wedding venue and decorations from that day!

How does a father that’s a control freak who wants to make sure that his daughter has the perfect wedding ever go about selecting a wedding planner and day of coordinator? During the early planning process this was one of the toughest decisions I had to make and after talking to both MichaelAngelos Events and MerryMe Events several times I made the decision to move forward with Cher and Kevin with MerryMe Events - and it was one of the very best decisions we made! This was an elegant 300-person wedding in the new Dahnke Ballroom at Notre Dame and every detail needed to be perfect - and with Cher’s assistance and guidance along the way it was! This text from my daughter the night of the wedding says it all: “We didn’t get to say good night to you guys! Thank you for the best wedding ever!! It’s more than we could have ever dreamed of!! Love you!”

Believe me I am not always easy to deal with but through it all we worked together to give our only daughter and son in-law a day they will always remember! To be an exceptional wedding planner, besides being creative, I feel you need patience, flexibility, and to be able to appreciate and understand the nuances of your client so you can work together. Cher did this and it was most appreciative - and the end result was just breathtaking! In addition to Cher being the wedding planner and day of coordinator she also worked with us on the design and arrangements of all the flowers as well as the cocktail and wedding reception linens, table decorations, lighting and much more!

If you’re looking for an exceptional wedding planner, day of coordinator, and florist in South Bend, and especially at Notre Dame, regardless of the amount of people you plan to invite, your venue, or budget, the very best company that offers you the most value for your money is MerryMe Events!

Cher and the Merry Me team are fabulous people to work with! Merry Me Events made our wedding spectacular, from the flowers to the decor to the planning, everything was great! Cher makes it so easy to have the wedding you've dreamed of- she and her team can come up with anything to meet your needs. They will work with you and your budget to make your event magical. Our ceremony decor was even better than we had imagined, Cher built a canopy for us to stand under and had us in the center of the room with our guests surrounding us on all sides. It was wonderful and we loved everything they did for our ceremony and reception!

Our daughter just recently got married at Whittaker Woods in New Buffalo Michigan. The venue was beautiful along with hiring Merry Me Events for Day of Planning, Floral/ Design and Invites it made the wedding amazing. From the first time I met Cher I knew she would go the extra mile to make our visions come to life. Cher and her team are amazing and listen to what their clients are wanting while adding their professional advice of what would work best with our ideas. Working with one company for it all works and runs so smoothly. Cher is amazing and words cannot describe how happy we are how awesome the wedding turned out!! We had so many people come up to us and tell us that it was the most organized, beautiful and fun wedding they had ever been too.

Our day of event planner was Lauren she is an amazing she gave 110 percent along with her assistant Alex to every detail of the rehearsal and day of. My daughter and I had people coming up to us for a full week before the wedding and day of and said they had never seen a bride and MOB so unstressed with a wedding a few days away. Merry Me Team make it so Bride and MOB can enjoy every minute of their special day while watching their visions of the wedding unfold more beautiful then what they even imagined. A friend of mine referred me to Cher and her Merry Me Team and I am so grateful to her it made wedding planning and day of wedding so enjoyable. Hiring Merry Me is so worth it!! I have learned from my experience with hiring Merry Me it that quality of a wedding over rules quantity of guests!!!

I will use Merry Me again when our other daughter gets married someday and will highly recommend to everyone to hire Merry Me!! MOB’s do yourself a favor and hire Merry Me for at least The Day of Planning package you won’t be disappointed. Moms of Brides deserve to enjoy their daughter’s wedding day with no stress.
Thanks so much Merry Me Team your awesome and made Stephanie and Beau’s wedding amazing!!

Merry Me handled our day-of coordination as well as our decorations and floral for our September 2012 wedding it was one of the best decisions we made!
First, they are just wonderful people to begin with. We were planning our Indiana wedding (at the Notre Dame Basilica since we’re both alums) while living in California, and were so relieved to find that they communicated so well over email and phone!
On the day of our wedding, the decorations were amazing and the florals breathtaking. We just had 2 interviews with Cher and gave her a general idea of what we wanted. Cher managed to take the chaos that was what we described for her and turned it into an elegant, classy, design plan that was so very distinctly us. Both the brunch reception and evening reception looked amazing; they were distinctly different, but obviously connected. We couldn’t have asked for better décor or florals!
What Cher was able to do for decorations, Richelle was able to do with our coordination. Before our wedding day, she answered our thousands of questions and helped in any way she could. Thanks to her, we secured our room block effortlessly (zero drama!) and smoothed out all the wrinkles regarding transportation for our guests. She knows what she’s doing, and can see upcoming problems before you even consider them to be remotely possible. . She is exactly what anyone would want in a wedding coordinator – she makes sure everything happens the way it’s supposed to, but no one ever actually notices she’s there.
If you are looking for the absolute best wedding planners and decorators in Indiana, look no further than Merry Me. If they’re available on your wedding day, retain them as soon as you have a chance! Cher and Richelle make an amazing team, one that you will most definitely want in your corner on such an important day in your lives!

As an out-of-town bride, I knew I would need help planning a wedding in South Bend. I was referred to Cher and Merry Events by a friend who, herself, is an event planner. (I knew she would know who to go to!) This was, by far, the best vendor referral I've ever received. If I could give Cher and her crew, 10 stars, I would.

Cher, and her team, are an absolute pleasure to work with. From our first meeting to the last, she was everything we needed in a planner- her ideas, flexibility, commitment to her brides, creativeness and professionalism were outstanding. She was able to work with our budget to create something I could have never put together ourselves. She designed our flowers, decor and even the details on our cake!

Our assigned Day of Coordinator, Richelle, was everything we hoped- she was under the radar, and moved our day right along and on schedule. The day of was effortless, and thanks to Richelle, no one in our family had to worry about the tiny details. That alone is worth EVERY penny. She was professional, flexible, and our families enjoyed working with her.

Most importantly, Cher made me feel secure in our budget, planning and those tiny details. Let's face it, how many of us have planned our weddings before? Sometimes, you just need a little positive assurance in your decisions and time-lines. I hope, we are able to work with Merry Me again!!!

Cher and Chanel were AMAZING! My wedding was totally feathers, including bouquets, and they made my exact vision come to life. I didn't even really have to say much, she saw what I was going for through my bouquets and dress, and brought my exact vision to life. When I walked in the room, I was blown away! I recommend Cher to EVERYONE! I wish I had realized how valuable her service was going to be. If I had, I would have just put the whole wedding in her hands. Which, by the way, she was on maternity leave for a lot of the time, and still was able to pull off the amazing day! thanks so much!!

Cher is THE. BEST. wedding planner we have EVER seen. We've photographed over 100 weddings now and the weddings that were the finest, most carefully orchestrated, and the most beautifully detailed were creations made specially by Merry Me! Events. Cher is attentive, focused, and has an exceptional eye for detail. She's also the most kind, thoughtful, and genuine person in the business. :)
