Cherished Moments was born from a simple belief:

life is too short not to celebrate the moments that matter.

My wedding day was everything I hoped for: modern, meaningful, and stress-free. But as I started talking to other couples, I kept hearing the same heartbreaking story: they felt overwhelmed by the planning, and too rushed to actually enjoy it. This was my “aha” moment. I knew then that I wanted to give other engaged couples the same calm, joy-filled experience I had.

Shortly after launching Cherished Moments, that goal became deeply personal. I lost my father, and that experience changed how I approached every event. It was a profound reminder that our time and memories together are one of the most valuable things we have. We don’t get infinite chances to bring all the people we love into one room, so when we do, it deserves to be handled with heart and a team that cares.

Today, Cherished Moments is more than just an event planning company. We’re the calm, professional guides, holding your hand every step of the way. From vendor hiccups to that extra sparkle on your tablescape, we’ve got it covered. Because at Cherished Moments, you really can have your cake and eat it, too.
