Our wedding day literally would not have happened without Connor & Liv!!! Connor was so incredibly helpful in all of our check-in calls leading up to the big day, and then when the day of came around, they could not have been more efficient, helpful, and just overall amazing. At one point both Connor and Liv were bustling my dress half covered in fabric and our wedding day was a record-breaking 96 degree day in September. Day of coordination is an absolute MUST and you can’t go wrong with Connor and her team. Thank you so much again, Connor & Liv!!

Awarded Best of Zola
I worked with Lauren on a wedding in Colorado a few years ago and I know the bride LOVED working directly with her. The bride didn't have to worry about a thing the day of which was extremely helpful since it was a destination wedding and everyone was from out of state. Lauren was friendly, meticulous, detail-oriented, and ultimately a pleasure to work with. I am a photographer and spend the entire day with the wedding couple and it was so great to see the bride not have to worry about a thing the day of because she knew Lauren had it handled already. I have also attended a styled wedding photoshoot that Lauren and Mercedes hosted this year and that was also amazing! I was blown away by the details and overall theme to it and it made for some fantastic photos to add to my portfolio. Whenever I see a wedding couple looking for a planner or day or coordinator, I always recommend Elizabeth Bliss Events!

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with the ladies at Everlasting Events for our April 2024 wedding! Erin and Megan did a wonderful job planning our wedding. They helped us decided when, where, and how to set things up with professionalism and constant communication. There were times during the planning process where I was convinced that they cared more about our wedding than we did. It was that enthusiasm and drive we needed to make sure everything went according to plan. Because of their passion, our wedding was amazing. We didn't have to worry about anything being out of place or going wrong. It was to the point where if someone asked me a question I'd tell them to ask Erin or Megan instead because they were the ones who could get stuff done. If you need planning and/or coordination help for an event, there is nobody I trust more than Everlasting Events to get the job done. They will exceed your expectations and leave you with memories to last a lifetime!

Blackbird Events is dedicated to making sure couples do not feel that way at the end of their wedding day.

From the moment we started planning our wedding with BlackBird Events, we were blown away by their communication style. Maggie and her team were quick to respond to our emails, always providing effective and helpful guidance. Their professionalism and attention to detail were truly exceptional - they went above and beyond to ensure our special day was perfect. One of our favorite memories was when Maggie coordinated with our DJ to play my favorite song, "Ordinary" by Alex Warren, during our private vows, which was a last minute pivot. She was also instrumental in keeping the ceremony running smoothly while we took photos, so we didn't have to worry about a thing. BlackBird Events made our wedding day fun, seamless, and an unforgettable celebration of our love. We can't recommend them highly enough!

I’m your guide, advocate, and the creative force behind Stress-Free Weddings. With a rich tapestry of experience that spans years and a certification that marks my commitment to excellence, I've dedicated my life to the art of bringing wedding dreams to life. My philosophy? That every couple deserves a day free from stress, filled with the moments that matter most. It's not just about creating a beautiful events but honoring your love.

Brianne was AMAZING to work with! We were planning our wedding remotely (we live in TX and married in IL where I grew up) and we genuinely could not have pulled it off without her. She was constantly on the ball. If I texted her with a question or problem she was working on solutions within the hour, such as working with our dream caterer to ensure that we could have them at our wedding. Brianne took on extra work at the last minute to ensure all our details came together, including making our place cards so we did not have to, and driving by our hotel the morning of to pick up items that needed to be transported to the venue. She was definitely on us about getting things done in the leadup to the wedding (we needed this, so this was helpful!) but on the day of the wedding she truly made it so we were not personally stressing about anything. All our vendors who had worked with Brianne previously were excited to be working with her again, which tells you how respected she is in this area. We highly recommend hiring Brianne to help plan your wedding!

Cherish the Day

Tipton, IA

  • Serves Iowa

Welcome to Cherish the Day, you are in the right place! My name is Lisa Syring and planning/coordinating your dream day is my game, no need to look any further. Having a Certified Wedding Planner in your back pocket is a great gift you can give to yourself and then wonder how you thought you could manage without me. Lead me to your dream day and I will execute every detail (plus more)! I love to remind my couples if, at the end of your dream day you are married to your best friend, all we did was a success!! My couples entrust in us and execution is key to us.

We could not recommend Cherish the Day enough!! I’ve been raving to anyone who asks—and even those who don’t—about working with Lisa. I initially started looking for “Day Of” coordinators when Lisa presented her “Month Of” package. It was the perfect amount of help for someone who was willing to do all of the legwork of finding and selecting vendors and just wanted assistance with the communication and execution once it was closer to the wedding date. We met with Lisa over a year before the wedding just so we could talk about our vision for our wedding and to see what areas we might need help in. She gave vendor recommendations when needed and made sure I had checklists to stay on track with booking everything. With her experience, she asked us questions about things we didn’t even realize we need to consider and gave suggestions if we were struggling. The best part was that she handled all of the vendor communication in the month leading up to the wedding, and she built the most detailed timeline for us (bridal party and vendors) to follow. My goal was to have someone that any and all questions could be directed to so that I didn’t have to add any stress—Lisa was that person and so, so much more. Both Lisa and her assistant (there on the day of) are amazing to work with—so personal and professional at the same time and there every step of the day. Cherish the Day is truly one of the best investments we made for our wedding!!

She is incredibly communicative and made it a priority to ensure that every aspect of our wedding aligned with our personal vision. It was so clear that Tia and her team are highly experienced and knowledgable. Her guidance throughout the planning process gave us the confidence that everything would turn out as intended. On our wedding day, everything ran seamlessly, allowing not just us but all of our guests to fully enjoy the moment without worrying about a single thing.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Erin Avery (The VenList) was more than a dream - she is a dream maker, fantasy creator, and one of the most organized people we’ve ever worked with. There honestly aren't words that capture the depth of our appreciation for her work. She took us through the whole journey as our virtual planner, guided us through the panic moments, saw the potential in our vision, and as our Day-Of Coordinator ensured we have the most magical wedding we could have ever dreamed up. She respected our budget, never wanted us to compromise on our vision, found vendors who could bring that vision to life, and made us feel like family the entire experience. Erin brings a profound attention to detail, care for us as a couple, calming spirit, and gentle smile to every person she interacts with. She wants you to have your day go smoothly, as stress free as possible, and makes sure that everything is organized, found, and done correctly. We couldn't have asked for a better person to walk us forward into married life, keeping track of every nuance, contacting every vendor, and protecting our time as we approached the biggest and happiest day of our lives. Erin is truly the best and a master at her craft. If you’re considering working with her, that very first meeting you will feel the beautiful energy and excitement she shares for what matters most to you - and she’ll make sure that your day is one you’ll never forget.
