Planning a wedding is a big job! By the time you plan, contact vendors, address invitations,
track RSVPs, decorate, & shop you will have a minimum of 200 hours wrapped up in your
wedding. In the past Moms and Grandmas had time to help with everything. Anymore they
are busy too and like to enjoy themselves at the wedding & reception instead of running
around making sure everything is tended to. Cherished Events owner and founder, Angela
Shreves, is a Certified Bridal Consultant & Event Planner. She has had extensive training in
wedding and event planning, coordination, direction, etiquette, & traditions. With Cherished
Events you not only have a wedding encyclopedia at your fingertips but you also have
professionals on hand to make sure your wedding is exactly the way you have envisioned it
to be. Following are a few reasons why you might consider hiring Cherished Events to take
care of all or part of your event.




Flexibility
We have been trained to be flexible in planning. Forget any notions you have heard about all or
nothing. We are available to assist you with as little or as much as you prefer. We have consultation
packages available to help you develop a game plan and get you started on the right track, planning
packages to assist you with the legwork, or day of services packages so everyone can relax & enjoy
themselves while we take care of everything. With any package we are able to skillfully guide you
through the process without you losing control over the event of your dreams.


Smooth Tensions
Although this is the happiest time of your life it will probably also be one of the most stressful. We are
able to play the role of mediator and keep everyone on the right track. We will ensure that the
preferences of the couple are honored and provide solutions that satisfy everyone's concerns.


We Understand Wedding Economics
As everyone knows, weddings can be very expensive before anyone even understands what they're
buying or what they still need. We stay on top of prevailing market conditions and can give different
suggestions for all kinds of budgets.


Price Negotiations
We have been trained to negotiate the best possible price for you. The difference between you and a
consultant in the eyes of a vendor is repeat business. Because we coordinate events for a living they
are aware that they will get repeat business from us and therefore we are able to negotiate a better fee
for you.


Your Big Day
We are there for you on your big day!! It would be nice if you were calm & collected on your day but
most couples are too excited and nervous to make sure everything goes smoothly. They shouldn't have
to. We will be there to make sure everything is set up, the correct pictures are taken, the cake has
been delivered, the guests are being seated correctly, all the vendors are present and ready to go, and
everything else in the never ending list of things to check and double check. We take care of all the
details so that you and your families are able to sit back and enjoy the special day!!
