About Cherry on Top Creative Planning

Cherry on Top Creative Planning

Owner & Lead Planner

Hi, I’m Camille Carter — owner and lead planner of Cherry on Top! My journey began in catering and hospitality and those experiences taught me the beauty of creativity, precision, organization, hospitality and care — qualities that now define my approach to wedding planning every single day and help me to assist couple's in saying, "I Do!" Helping couples create meaningful, fun-filled celebrations is not just what I do — it’s what I love most. To inspire, create and dream with couples about a day that will live with them forever is where I thrive and what brings me joy. You and your wedding matter to me, so let's plan it together!

My over a decade of experience in weddings and events - cooking, catering, coordinating and planning - have left me well versed in every arena of the wedding day itself. I have a depth of knowledge that I can't wait to share with you as we plan your wedding day.

In three words: Efficient, Fun, Positive

    Choosing Camille as our wedding coordinator was hands down the best decision we made throughout the entire planning process!! She is kind, hard working, and you can tell she genuinely cares so much about the couples she works with and bringing their dream wedding to life. Camille went above and beyond in the months leading up to our wedding to make sure we were on track and had thought of every single detail. She also made us feel at ease and confident in the choices we were making. After every call with her, we felt better and more excited for the wedding weekend. We knew she’s be dependable on the day, and she proved us right!!! So organized, detail oriented, and just such a positive and bright presence all day. She really is such a ray of sunshine and so professional. Our whole bridal party was blown away by how truly great she was, including many brides who wished they’d had Camille in their corner on their own day!! When things went a bit awry with transportation, she jumped into action and literally saved the day. Brides, do yourself a favor and choose Camille. You will NOT regret it for a single second!!!!

  • Amazing day of coordinator!

    Cherry on Top Creative Planning was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, their team was incredibly responsive, fun and upbeat, always hyping us up and making us feel confident in their abilities. Camille was extremely organized and handled any small mishaps on the day with grace, bringing a level of peace and order to our busy Indian wedding celebration. Her attention to detail and proactive approach ensured our big day went off without a hitch. We are so grateful to the Cherry on Top team for their incredible service and for helping to make our wedding day truly special.

  • Work with Camille! Do it!

    Where do we begin? From the moment Camille offered her expertise to us, we knew we would be all good on our wedding day. Her vast experience in the event planning and coordinating space — she has worked as a caterer, day-of coordinator, full blown event planner — was evident from the first time meeting. Camille's attention to detail is a credit to her organization skills and depth of knowledge related to event and wedding planning. We did most of our planning ahead of time and brought Camille in to be our day-of coordinator. About two months before our wedding, we met with Camille and shared as many of our wedding details we had available and within a day, Camille had created an extremely detailed timeline for the entire weekend. Any element of the timeline that she did not have yet was highlighted red so we could figure out what information we needed to provide. She regularly would check in with us to make sure we were working to get those missing elements, and actually took over responsibility gathering some of it for us. Her knowledge of event planning helped us plan out when to schedule our entrance, first dance, dinner service for a wedding of 275, and speech timing to ensure we got out on the dance floor with plenty of time to dance. She connected all of our vendors and sent regular updates to them to make sure everyone was on the same page. As our day-of wedding coordinator, Camille was present at our rehearsal the night before. When it was time to really get going, Camille took charge and commanded the rehearsal with confidence. She walked me and my husband through her rehearsal process, got us set to practice, took notes for the day, and just made us feel certain that everything was going to work out. On the day of the wedding, our first look was at noon. When rain entered the forecast for the day, Camille quickly located an alternative first look location and communicated the change of plans with our photographer and wedding party, who got us where we needed to be. When we arrived at the wedding & reception venue around 2 p.m., we anticipated needing to help finish setting up the space. Camille, with a small team of our family and friends, got the entire space set and ready before we arrived. That let us relax and enjoy some time with our bridal party before the ceremony began. Camille is real, honest, and will tell you the truth when you need to hear it. She listens to what you're wanting and hoping for on your wedding day, and does everything she can to make that vision happen. She sees and thinks details about the day that wouldn't cross most people's minds. I would recommend Camille and Cherry on Top Creative Planning to anyone who wants to feel certain that their wedding day will feel perfect. (It won't be perfect though, because perfect never happens!)

    I would highly recommend Cherry on Top Creative Planning. Camille took the time to listen to every detail of our vision and brought it to life in ways I couldn't have even imagined. Her attention to detail was truly impressive. She is kind and just the type of person you want with you on such a happy day. At the same time, she can be assertive and take charge when needed. Our guests were blown away by the entire experience, and we couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out. She is not just a wedding planner; she is a true partner in making dreams come true. We highly recommend Camille and the Cherry on Top Creative Planning Team to any couple looking for a planner who will go above and beyond.
