Olivia Sent on 11/29/2023The best wedding planner!
We worked with Stephanie Poure from A Day To Cherish, and she was incredible! She helped us find the best vendors for our venue at the Arizona Biltmore. From beginning to end, she was extremely professional, organized, understanding, and responsive. She provided us with a detailed timeline for the planning process and it made the process easy and enjoyable (believe or not!). She truly went above and beyond for us and she is worth every single penny.A Day to Cherish Weddings & Celebrations's reply:
Thank you for your kind review Olivia! It was an absolute pleasure to be a part of your wedding day! -

Stephanie did so much more than help plan a wedding. She had creative suggestions based on experience, she took complete control the day of the wedding, she develops close relationships with vendors both old and new and she calmly gets everything done. She was always quick to respond for an entire year. I would recommend her highly. -

I was told something comes goes awry during every wedding. That wasn’t true for me at all. My husband and I were relaxed, present and loved every moment our wedding day…I attribute so much of that to Cara!
As a detail-oriented, thorough person, and being small business owner, I am responsible for a ton of things in my life. It’s hard for me to step back from doing all the things and to believe others will get things done and do them well. That said, I did a ton of research on wedding planners, especially because this was a destination wedding for us, and I assumed planning long distance would be hard. While it should have been, it never felt challenging because of Cara.
Cara put me at ease and made it possible to let go from the beginning stages to the end of my wedding day. I fully trusted she could help me create what I envisioned because she truly listened, incorporated what I asked for plus things I didn’t even know I needed or should consider.
Cara was prompt to respond to every email and proactively included herself on emails with all of the vendors I worked with in the preparation phases. Not only did this make the process smooth, but she took charge when the company who did my printed materials was making mistakes, had poor follow through and was difficult to work with. Side note…this experience was not a result of a bad recommendation on Cara’s part. She suggested additional vendors for printed materials too, but I chose this company to save money, and she had good experiences with them before. She took care of it and fixed it all.
When choosing musicians, florists, and vendors (all of whom exceeded my expectations), she tailored her suggestions to exactly what I wanted. ALL of them were so happy to work with me and some even provided perks and discounted rates because they have had such positive experience with Cara, working with them multiple times, and, as they also said, she is so enjoyable to work with.
On the day of my wedding, Cara seamlessly directed and oversaw every detail behind the scenes which allowed me to relax and enjoy the whole day because I trusted I was in the best hands with her. She only involved in things any bride would be part of like timeline, hair/makeup, and pictures. My husband was not knowledgable about what happens for weddings, so I was worried he wouldn’t know what to do or when, plus he doesn’t like being on and specific schedules with specific instructions to follow. Lol. That said, because Cara had prepared him for what he needed to know ahead of time and on the wedding day, he said made things easy for him too.
Cara genuinely cared about and was invested in me and my husband.
Choosing Cara was the best decision I made for our wedding!
We’re so grateful for you Cara! Thank you so much. -

Stephanie exceeded my expectations in every way. As a physician, I have a very busy schedule and it seemed impossible to plan a 200 person wedding. Stephanie made planning easy and honestly fun! She was calm, cool and collected the entire time. AND she put up with me! She responded to every text, call and email so quickly and I never felt anxiety (which is a miracle). Along with being exceptional in the planning process, she made my actual wedding perfect. Nobody was asking me questions and I could truly enjoy my day. Everything ran smoothly and it was the best day of my life. -

We truly cannot say enough about Cara and her team. They supported us every step of the way, even though a venue and date change due to COVID with such grace, positivity, and good spirits. She planned and coordinated a seamless day where we and our families did not have to worry about a thing! She made the decisions at every turn easy and stress-free. I would recommend her to ANYONE! -

Honestly I don’t know what I would’ve done without my planner, Cara! Originally had no interest in a planner. Started out with my parents touring reception venues, and we quickly realized just how many additional details that we would have to organize ourselves and became overwhelmed. The day I told my parents “I think we need a planner”, my mom breathed a huge sigh of relief! I’d been dreaming about my big day for a while and I was overwhelmed with all of the ideas I had in my head, how to organize, and put them to action. Out of 3 planners I had interviewed, Cara was the the most down-to- earth, non-pushy, and calm while also being respectful and supportive of my vision and the ever so important budget. My now-husband and I both have long, irregular and unpredictable work schedules and Cara was a total champ with being understanding, helpful and accommodating with scheduling, and then sometimes rescheduling the vendor and planning meetings. I can’t thank her enough for helping me find some amazingly talented vendors, keeping track of every detail big and small, being available to contact so easily, going to bat for me when needed, and making family and wedding party feel comfortable and organized all throughout the big day. Best wedding decision, other than marrying my husband, that we made :) Highly recommend.A Day to Cherish Weddings & Celebrations's reply:

A Day to Cherish-Cara Morrison
We worked with Cara Morrison from A Day to Cherish for the past year in preparation for our daughters wedding April 12, 2019. I am beyond thankful to Cara and her staff that assisted the day of. Cara is the ultimate professional, responsive, flexible and patient. The planning of a wedding has an immense amount of moving parts and pieces that we could not possibly have handled on our own. She was understanding and accomodating as we made numerous changes. Cara and her team far surpassed any expectation I could have imagined. The ceremony was absolutely lovely, and the ballroom was pure perfection. The team made sure the tables were perfect and the bridal party had everything they needed. We are still receiving texts and emails every day from our guests, thanking us for a wonderful night and all have commented that our daughters wedding was one of the most beautiful weddings they had ever attended. Cara's execution is impeccable and it is without hesitation that I recommend A Day to Cherish! -

I got married less than two weeks ago and worked with Cara for over a year planning my wedding at El Chorro. Cara is truly everything you could want in a wedding planner - considerate, friendly, attentive, professional, genuine, prompt, organized, helpful - the list goes on. She is EXTREMELY detail-oriented and efficient. From the beginning, Cara really took the time to get to know me. She listened attentively and genuinely sought to understand my vision so that she could bring it to life. Moreover, she helped guide our family through the entire process, including keeping on track with our budget, vendor recommendations, and all sorts of insider tips that you simply would not know unless you are an industry veteran.
Cara keeps things as stress free as possible leading up to the wedding. The confidence that I had developed in her abilities in the months prior to my wedding day provided a much-needed sense of relief. I knew that she would be on top of everything – down to the very last detail.
The week of my wedding, I panicked because it looked like it was going to rain and we were having an outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour. I texted Cara and she responded within minutes, calming me down and telling me that she already had backup plans in the works that we could discuss in the event of poor weather. She was calm, collected, and prepared, and I simply can’t emphasize how much this meant to me during such a busy week.
Not only did Cara develop a relationship with my husband and I, but she also developed a relationship with my family. My situation was a bit unique, in that I live in South Carolina but had an Arizona wedding. On one particular weekend, I flew into Phoenix to pick linens with my family. Cara arranged our meeting with the vendor and even had beautiful tables set up. In the end, I changed my mind on the linens a few months later but couldn’t come in town due to the distance. When I reached out to Cara, I was so impressed to hear that she had promptly addressed my concerns. She immediately met with my Mom a second time to help switch the linens. This is the level of professionalism that you can expect to receive from A Day To Cherish.
My parents, who live nearby, continued to work regularly with Cara when I was out of town. They absolutely loved her and were able to relax and enjoy themselves throughout our wedding day. She made sure we took photos at the right time, that the speeches occurred at the right times, and even gathered up our gifts and loaded my parent’s car!
Your wedding day is a life-changing event, a day that you will remember as one of the most impactful of your entire life. Choosing a wedding planner is therefore one of the most, if not the most important decision that you will make. Many wedding planners will tout their attention to detail and sense of style, and they may impress in these areas. However, Cara unquestionably stands out amongst the rest due to her years of experience, preparations for the unexpected, and relationship-centered approach. What started out as a professional relationship in the beginning had become personal by my wedding day. Trust me on this -- if you are thinking about hiring a wedding planner, look no further than A Day to Cherish. Cara will absolutely make your wedding dreams come true. -

Sarah Sent on 03/01/2019Must DO!!! A Dream to work with!
MUST DO! We hired a DOC and worked with Stephanie. She was much more than that. She was there to answer any questions I had during the planning process, she created a timeline for us and the Vendors. A few weeks before I went just through her and she took over communication with all vendors, that itself was worth the money. Our planning process was never stressful but having someone else create the timeline, work with vendors, she set up all areas with the decorations and created a dream space for us. We had to do nothing except enjoy the week and day, I repeat we were not stressed and had the best few days leading up to the wedding and our wedding day was enjoyable. I could relax and just focus on our guests and our day! Living far away from Sedona, having someone you trust take over your day and make your dreams a reality is a feeling I can't describe. Well worth the money, would recommend to any bride. it is a must do!!! -
Lisa Sent on 06/29/2018I can not say enough wonderful things about Stephanie. She well exceeded any expectations we had for a wedding planner.

Kate Sent on 11/24/2020Incredible Experience with ADC
I don't even know where to start. Stephanie was our coordinator. We postponed our 3.28 wedding on 3.15. It was a Sunday night (very late!) and Stephanie stayed on the phone texting with me until we found a date that worked for ALL of our vendors. She worked frantically texting them all on my behalf. We landed on 11.15.2020 thinking the world would be normal by then (lol). We stayed in communication over the next 8 months and replanned several things several times. About a month out we decided to cut to just family (30 people) and Stephanie helped me work with our vendors to still make it a beautiful and really special day. It was a PERFECT day. Stephanie and her assistant Caleigh steamed all our dresses, worked with our vendors all day to keep us on timeline, setup all the details, I could go on forever. They both were incredibly kind, calm, and organized. I can't say enough good things about ADC, Stephanie and her wonderful assistant Caleigh. Do not look anywhere else, book them!
