Hello
My name is Rafeal Henderson, and I am the lead planner and designer for Cherished Moments Planning, Design, & Coordination.

We are a Southern California-based Wedding Planning company that provides a complete wedding planning experience for busy professionals. I absolutely love weddings and strive to create an unforgettable, stress-free wedding experience for my brides. The best way to do that is by removing the heavy lifting.

After the consultation and signing of the contract, we will wrap up all wedding details, and meet at venue for a walk-through. We provide a Personal Vendor Referral List according to your needs.
​
STEP THREE
We will finalize the details, conduct a wedding rehearsal, and produce a minute-by-minute timeline of the wedding day
WHY US?
You Should Choose Us if...
YOU ENJOY DELEGATING
Wedding planning can be overwhelming, but that’s why we are here. If you enjoy being supported and having an expert take your vision and execute it, we are your perfect team.
WE LOVE MANAGEMENT
One of our favorite things to do is work with our clients to find the best plan to suit their experience. If you need organization and an execution plan for the day of your wedding, look no further.
YOU VALUE QUALITY
We pride ourselves on working with the best vendors and managing what you have carefully curated.
YOU LIKE TO HAVE FUN
We do not believe that you or your family members should be working during your wedding. You should be enjoying the memories and having fun. If you enjoy having fun and leaving the worrying to us, we should definitely work together.
What Our Clients Have to Say
I gave her my vision and I was very detailed about what I wanted and how I wanted it. People didn’t always get my vision, but when everything came together, they got it!!! LOL! I trusted her with my vision, and she executed!!!

I’m happy that I put full trust in her [Rafeal], and she came through with a bang! I received so many compliments from family and friends. My in-laws said they’ve never been to a wedding so organized. Thank you, Cherished Moments, for the best wedding I could have asked for.
Khaila J.
Amazing. I don’t know how I could ever repay Rafeal. I reached out to her so last minute, and I really could not thank her enough for her insight and beyond creative mind! I had never planned an event and her beautiful and calm nature made everything so easy.
