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 blissfully stress-free. Yet, I began hearing a common story from other couples that they felt overwhelmed, rushed, and unable to enjoy their wedding day. This was my “aha” moment. I knew then that I wanted to give other engaged couples the same calm, joy-filled experience I had. Just three days after launching Cherished Moments, my father passed away. That loss changed everything. It reminded me that our time with loved ones is fleeting, and the memories we make together are priceless. We don’t get endless opportunities to gather the people we love, so when we do, it should be done with heart and care.
Today, Cherished Moments is more than 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.
