    Alison is the Best Wedding Planner

    Alison was incredible throughout the entire process. After interviewing several wedding planners, we hired Alison to plan our wedding, as she respected our vision and budget, and was committed to making the process as easy as possible for us. Alison immediately took action to help us find the best vendors and kickstart the planning process. She was always available for our calls and questions, even patiently fielding requests from family members who wanted to be involved. Alison managed the entire process so that all vendors worked seamlessly together to execute the perfect wedding, and making planning way less stressful for us. Whether it was hand delivering cake tastings the Friday before a wedding she was planning, or finding a videographer last minute when we changed our minds, Alison handled everything with ease.

    And our wedding could not have been more perfect! We still have family and friends calling us to tell us how beautiful the event was, how they've never had wedding food taste that good, and how magical the entire weekend was. None of this could have happened without Alison's leadership and dedication. We are so grateful to her for planning the wedding of our dreams.

    Felicia is THE best!

    There are so many things I could write to describe how amazing Felicia. If you know nothing about weddings like me or are hesitant to get a planner like we were, I can say with certainty our wedding could not have been done without Felicia! She somehow figured out everything I wanted perfectly when I had no idea. She keeps you on time and on track before and through the wedding. She feels like a friend, and when you have nerves for a wedding, that’s what you need. To sum it up, thank you thank you thank you Felicia! You made our most memorable day perfect in every way 💕

    Definition of Perfection

    I had the absolute PRIVILEGE of working with Felicia. She was the best decision I made when planning my wedding! I truly couldn't recommend her more! You would be sorry to miss out on her attention to detail, communication skills, compassion for her couples, effort on making time for her couples, kindness, respect, and enthusiasm for celebrating love and making your day the day of your dreams and more. Choose Cherry Blossom Wedding Events for all your planning needs, you won't be sorry!! Thank you Felicia for everything you did. I wish there were more words to describe our appreciation for all your hard work, dedication, and commitment. Thank you!!!!

    Greatest decision we made in wedding planning

    I couldn't imagine our wedding without Felicia and Cherry Blossom.
    Our day was magical, and that was largely due to Felicia's talents, hard work, diligence, communication, perspective, thought, and inspiration. She truly made our day everything we could have ever dreamed of. From the very beginning meeting for venue tours we knew she was the one to take charge of our vision. She immediately worked to get to know my husband and I, as well as our families, knowing down the road it would mean so much to be able to gear our day to the way our we would enjoy the celebration with our specific guests and families. She immediately coordinated vendors and communicated all needs, anticipated obstacles and timeline, and executed our plan and weekend flawlessly. She anticipated weather, road closures, deliveries, headaches, traditions, photos, music and more. She was warm, excited, realistic, and supportive of both us and our vendor teams, which made for the most wonderful teamwork and execution. There is an unbelievable amount of planning and discussion that goes into coordinated multiple teams of people with their own specialties. Months to years of work all to come together for a 6+ hours of an event and work seamlessly, and Felicia the woman for the job. I couldn't recommend her enough as I felt that she wasn't only there for our needs and wants, but for our lifetime memories of the greatest day of our lives. Thank you so much for everything you did for us!! Couldn't recommend Cherry Blossom Events enough.

    Alison from cbwe is incredible!

    If there is one thing you should invest in during your wedding planning process, it's Alison from CBWE. Alison is beyond brilliant, professional, organized, creative and organized. From the very start of the planning process, she put our minds to ease. She made the entire process so seamless and easy - recommending vendors who she has person relationships with as well as being open to new vendors she has not worked with. She understood our vision for every single moment of our wedding and turned it into more than we could have ever dreamed. She dealt with interesting family dynamics with pose and ease. The day of went so insanely perfect - she is on tip of the timeline, load in and load out and overall just making sure that you are having the most magical night. I cannot recommend Alison enough!!! Please do yourself a favor and hire her because you will have the most incredible wedding weekend with the most beautiful memories.

    The best Wedding Planner we could ask for!

    Alison Golt made our surprise wedding a reality. As it was my wife's and I second time around, we wanted a wedding that was unique and avoided tradition. When we informed Alison of our desire to hold a surprise wedding that masqueraded as an engagement party, she told us "I have never done one, but I want to be a part of this!" She was wonderful to work with throughout the process and did everything to make our vision become a reality. Alison was communicative, was very helpful with advice, and took charge when needed. All of our guests keep telling us how great a time they had. My wife and I loved our wedding because Alison took care of everything. If you are looking for a top-notch event planner in DC, we highly recommend Alison Golt from Cherry Blossom Events.

    Carlene is the best!

    We worked with Carlene as our planner in the six weeks leading up to and the day of our August 2023 wedding, and it was probably the best decision we made in the wedding planning process. Carlene was absolutely wonderful to work with, and we can’t recommend her highly enough! She kept meticulous track of all of the details and helped us stay on track with planning/timeline. She was highly responsive in all communication with us and with our other vendors, and she took a lot of the burden off of us when we were stressed with the last-minute details. She even helped us secure a new vendor when we were down to the wire! On the day of the wedding, she went above and beyond to make sure we had what we needed and fixed all problems/issues that arose behind the scenes so we didn’t have to be involved at all (e.g., when the venue tried to charge us $200+ dollars for something we didn’t order on the day of, she made some calls and dealt with it!). She was incredibly thoughtful about our needs on the day-of, even bringing us cold glasses of water when we were hot outside taking photos. Our immediate family and bridal party loved having Carlene around on the day of–they knew she was the go-to person with all of the answers to their questions--and she kept things running without a hitch. We can’t speak highly enough about her – thank you, Carlene!!!

    Alison and CBWE are the absolute best!

    Alison was the lead planner for our wedding this past July. She is professional, punctual, creative, compassionate, and brilliant! She went absolutely above and beyond to help me and my husband to have the wedding of our dreams. Our day went perfectly and we are so happy that we hired Alison from CBWE.

    Amazing experience!

    Alison Golt and the Cherry Blossom team were a joy to work with through-and-through! Alison created an utterly fantastic wedding day for us at a rural family property, basically constructing the venue from scratch with our vision in mind. She is incredibly thorough, conscientious, and knowledgeable, and we were constantly impressed with the extra time she took to get to know our preferences and styles, explain details and next steps to us, and to match us with the perfect vendors for our vibe. She thinks through every detail and it shows. We cannot recommend her and her team enough.

    Flawless Planning Process and Perfect Wedding

    We worked with Jamie Smith for our September 2022 wedding—hiring her for our wedding was the best decision we made throughout the planning process. Jamie honestly made our year and a half long planning process easy and fun. She went above and beyond to check-in regularly and helped us work through the process slowly so that it never felt overwhelming. As we got closer to the wedding, she handled every issue, big or small, that came up. Our wedding day itself was flawless and stress-free. My husband and I were able to really enjoy the day without worrying about logistics or other details, which was such a gift. I cannot say enough good things about Jamie and the Cherry Blossom team—our wedding was perfect and I would hire them again in a heartbeat.

    The only wedding planner you should consider...

    My husband and I highly recommend Cherry Blossom Weddings and Events, specifically Alison Golt. Even with a down sized wedding, having Alison as our day off planner (really 6 weeks out planner) was worth every penny. She was fantastic to work with, extremely knowledgable, professional, and responsive - everything you would need in a wedding planner. It was wonderful getting to know her and having her help & guide us through the process. We cannot say enough good things about her and highly highly recommend her!

    The best wedding planner!

    Alison Golt was our wedding planner and choosing her (and Cherry Blossom) was the best decision we made. Alison helped us coordinate a day packed with events (two ceremonies, a lunch, and reception) and took so much of the stress of planning off of our plate. When we had to choose a new photographer a few months before our wedding, she made sure to wait to deliver the news until she had several options of new photographers to present us with (and we loved the photographer we ended up with!!). It also rained intermittently our whole wedding day and she ensured that we took advantage of every minute of outdoor time. Our guests commented specifically on how organized our day was and how seamlessly it progressed even with so many events- we owe that entirely to Alison!! We cannot say enough good things about her- our wedding day was perfect!!

    We LOVED Cherry Blossom Events

    We can’t speak highly enough for everything that Alison Golt and Cherry Blossom Events did to help us make our wedding day nothing short of spectacular. Our wedding venue cancelled on us just 5 months before our date and Alison and her team were quick to help us find other options and select an even better venue than we had originally planned. The day of the wedding went so smoothly and we are still hearing from our family and friends about how impressed they were with how everything went and how beautiful the venue and set up was! Highly highly recommend Cherry Blossom Events and Alison Golt for any couple looking to have an unforgettable wedding day!

    Absolutely Amazing!!

    Please do not look any further for a wedding planner-CBWE, specifically Alison Golt, is the absolute best choice!! Alison is incredibly responsive, organized, thoughtful, and truly one of the kindest people. She helped us plan the wedding of our dreams during the uncertainty of COVID and was such an incredible source of support during the process. She organized the most amazing vendor team and our wedding day went seamlessly all thanks to her direction! We cannot recommend Alison enough!

    Alison is the best!

    Hiring Alison Golt was such an amazing decision! We found her through our wedding venue, the National Museum of Women in the Arts; on our initial call, we were so impressed by her level of preparation, organization, and detail. In the leadup to the wedding, she found us amazing vendors and worked with them to build our vision for the event. On the day of the wedding, she was just incredible, handling things big and small (including sewing my sister back into her dress). It's certainly true that Alison made wedding planning much less stressful, and it's also true that our wedding was way more beautiful and fun because of Alison's hard work. We can't imagine a better planner!

    Don't think twice- Hire Alison!

    Our wedding would not have been possible with Alison as a wedding planner. I struggled with the idea of spending money on a planner, but I assure you it worth it. The ability to enjoy your own wedding and guests is the best gift of all. That is what Alison did us. She helped us plan a wedding during Covid, all while we were living in another state. She took our scattered ideas and inspirations and made them into a reality- perhaps better! She managed all of my emotions and stress (because it is real!) and made it a truly enjoyable experience. Guests continue to tell us that it was the best wedding they have ever been to and perhaps I am biased, but I wholeheartedly agree. Thank you Alison! You are the fearless ringleader of our dream team!

    Hassle and Worry Free

    My wife and I used Cherry Blossom Events (Alison Golt specifically) as our month of coordinator and she made everything really easy for us. The communication was direct and clear and she took care of everything on the day of. Could not recommend them enough for your wedding coordination needs!

    SPRINT don't run to book Alison!!!!

    Hiring Alison as our wedding planner was the BEST vendor purchase we made. We first met Alison shortly after we got engaged in 2018! She was recommended by our (original) wedding venue and coincidentally sat next to her during a the Washingtonian Unveiled Wedding Event in DC! The second we met Alison we knew we were in the best hands.

    Alison is prompt, organized, attentive, professional, creative, flexible, and clearly an expert in the wedding planning world. However, not only is she amazing at her job, but she is kind, patient, and truly cares about her clients. Alison was able provide us with the BEST vendors that fit our vision and stick within our budget. Alison was able to listen to what we envisioned and completely NAILED our vibe. Every single vendor we chose were exceptional and she clearly has a good relationship/connections with vendors in the DMV area.

    We worked with Alison for over 2 years. Since venues book up so far in advanced in Washington DC we thought it would be nice to have a long time to plan the wedding of our dreams. However, the pandemic put a pause to our plans. During these ever changing times Alison was by our side the entire time. She gave us all the facts and constantly gave us updates as she spent countless hours and days watching the news and doing her research. Although this was an emotional time there was one thing that stayed the same - the support from Alison. Each time we talked to her I felt a little more hope. About 3 months before our wedding we had to make a change in venue and this was DEVESTATING to us. Alison was able to quickly work her magic and we ended up doing a tented wedding outside at the National Arboretum. All of our original vendors were able to still do our wedding and our original wedding vision still came true!

    Finally, the third time was a charm and we got married on June 11 2021. Alison provided us the best gift - a fun, memorable, and exciting wedding planning process for me, my husband, and mom! I can't say enough amazing things about Alison and could not have imagined doing it without her. She made all our wedding dreams come true and MORE!

    HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend!!!

    Made our wedding

    My wife and I were originally scheduled to get married in April 2020 and after several postponements finally got married in October 2021. We can honestly say that without Alison from Cherry Blossom, we would not have stuck through those 18 months. Alison and the rest of the Cherry Blossom team were responsive, compassionate, organized, and an ease to work with. Alison's connections and insight into the industry and various vendors helped us make really informed decisions, even as rules, policies, etc. were constantly changing. Quite simply, you should hire them!

    The best thing we did...

    My mom and I were fully prepared to plan and coordinate my wedding on our own, but were strongly encouraged to hire a month-of coordinator by our caterer. He recommended Alison, and we could not have been more grateful he did so. When she started with us six weeks before the weddig, she took everything over immediately and flawlessly. I can't even imagine how stressed I would have been without having her; she brought up and thought of SO many details that we never would have on our own that, looking back, truly made our wedding so much more enjoyable. Then, day of, when things inevitably didn't go as planned at certain points, Alison handled everything so well and kept my husband, my mom, and I at ease the entire time. We've said that of all the things we did for our wedding, hiring Alison was our best decision of all.

    Highly recommend!

    My husband and I are BEYOND happy that we hired Felicia with Cherry Blossom to be our day of wedding coordinator. We were very hands on with the wedding planning process and wondered if we even needed a day of coordinator -- and wow, we made the right decision!! Our whole day was executed perfectly thanks to Felicia! She helped us iron out the many logistical questions we had in the week leading up to the wedding, put together a timeline that kept the day together, and above all, we were able to enjoy our wedding without a worry in the world. Felicia was a pro and so wonderful to work with -- always very responsive and went above and beyond to make meetings with vendors. We'd highly recommend her and the Cherry Blossom team to any couple!

    An absolute dream come true

    I was first attracted to Cherry Blossom one month after my engagement when I started to research local florists. I did not love how the resort decor and florals were very cookie cutter, I liked the unique designs I was seeing from them. Better yet, their reviews were amazing. I reached out and received immediate and prompt response from their team. They were SO patient as I asked for things I saw on Pinterest to be quoted and OMG their prices for what you will receive, the Value is incredible. The quality is NOT sacrificed, my photographer said to me "that arch must have cost thousands". Everything was just as the pictures I sent them. The delivery was prompt and bouquets delivered to my room. I highly reccommend Cherry Blossom. Their designs are unique and beautiful, the process of selecting decor/florals was smooth and they respond so quickly and are so professional. The flowers and the arch and everything was gorgeous. THANK YOU FOR MAKING MY DAY SO SPECIAL. - Caroline

    Jamie was amazing!

    We hired Jamie from Cherry Blossom Events for our October wedding. It was one of the best decisions we made! Not only was she there to handle all of the logistics on the wedding day, but she coordinated with vendors in the weeks leading up to the wedding and ran our rehearsal. I was completely confident in her and if there were any snafus I never learned about them! She has such a calm and positive energy and I highly recommend her and Cherry Blossom Events for all brides and grooms! Thank you, Jamie, for such a wonderful day!

    Alison is Amazing and Professional

    We engaged Alison to help us plan and coordinate our wedding and she delivered beyond our expectations. She is experienced, thoughtful, organized, resourceful, and patient.

    On our wedding day, she worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make sure everything goes smoothly. As a result, we were able to enjoy our day with our friends and family.
