A Day To Cherish Weddings & Celebrations

A day to cherish was the easiest and best decision we made while wedding planning. Cara, from start to finish, made the entire process seamless and perfect. I had very detailed visions for the rental furniture, the decor, the cake, the flowers, the order of events, on and on and her and her team (as well as her vendor referrals) made all our dreams come true. The day of our wedding was stress free, 100% enjoyable and came off as entirely effortless because she was on top of every single detail. There's no way we could've done any of it without her. My only regret is that we somehow forgot to have any pictures taken together! We're so thankful for her tremendous hard work and incredible can do and will do attitude!

Be careful! My sister's wedding got derailed by Coronavirus and ADC is actually taking the position that because my sister "canceled" with less than 30 days before the event, that my sister is technically owed nothing! They claim that they are being generous by applying a $500 cancellation fee on top of $700 of services rendered and refunding the rest. Deposits are payments toward future performance, you can't charge a cancellation fee when payment for services rendered exceeds the deposit!I would stay away from them, unbelievable to charge a cancellation fee during Corona!!

Is it possible to be completely present and in the moment enjoying your Wedding Day? YES! ADC provided that and so much more! Cara is one of the most organized and professional people I've ever met. She brings a sense of peace to any conversation or situation, including navigating COVID-19. We had complete confidence and trust in Cara from start to finish. She's also fun to work with and shows passion in what she does. Unlike most brides and grooms, the details and décor were left 100% up to Cara to create based on Pinterest concepts we provided. She created the perfect magical and romantic setting we were looking for! It was truly a perfect day for us to remember thanks to Cara at A Day to Cherish! Thank you so much!

Cara and her team from A Day to Cherish are amazing! Cara was wonderful to work with, very professional, super organized, and firm when she needed to be. She was so helpful throughout the planning process. We were having a destination wedding and she was able to meet us at our venue in Sedona, and then at the rental company location to pick out all of our rentals. At both the venue and rental company, Cara jumped to action and immediately started visualizing the event, taking notes as to where everything would be set up, and providing great suggestions. I remember after we were finished at the rental company, my husband and I were driving back to Phoenix and we both felt so relieved to have Cara helping us. We realized that she had a plethora of knowledge and she made sure that we wouldn't be over-paying for anything. There were many emails and several phone conversations with Cara, and she was always ready to answer any questions that I had. I was not the least bit worried about the coordination of things for wedding day. Cara was well organized, and made sure she was well prepared and informed on our vendors, timeline, wedding party and guests of honor, music selections, decoration placement, and everything else you could imagine. She was also very good at keeping documentation of conversations, sent emails, and other pertinent information regarding the vendors. Her preparedness helped out immensely when there were a couple of snags that happened on wedding day. If the aforementioned doesn't convince you that you need to have A Day to Cherish in your wedding planning life, Cara went above and beyond even after we got married! While we were on honeymoon for 3 weeks she worked on resolving an issue we had with the transportation vendor. She emailed us progress updates, which made it easy for us to continue where she left off when we returned. I can only imagine how busy Cara must be, so for her to help us out after our wedding was absolutely amazing!

Stephanie exceeded my expectations in every way. As a physician, I have a very busy schedule and it seemed impossible to plan a 200 person wedding. Stephanie made planning easy and honestly fun! She was calm, cool and collected the entire time. AND she put up with me! She responded to every text, call and email so quickly and I never felt anxiety (which is a miracle). Along with being exceptional in the planning process, she made my actual wedding perfect. Nobody was asking me questions and I could truly enjoy my day. Everything ran smoothly and it was the best day of my life.

Stephanie was amazing. We were married at El Chorro and with her help the whole was exactly how we wanted and no snags at all. She's also just so nice and easy to work with.

We truly cannot say enough about Cara and her team. They supported us every step of the way (even through all the tears), even though a venue and date change due to COVID with such grace, positivity, flexibility, and good spirits. She planned and coordinated a seamless day where we and our families did not have to worry about a thing! She made the decisions at every turn easy and stress-free. I would recommend her to ANYONE! Simply put, she makes magic.

I do not have enough good things to say about working with Cara from A Day to Cherish. After interviewing several other planners, I could tell form the beginning Cara was going to fit best for our big day. She was so easy to work with, very professional, incredibly flexible and there to answer any question I had big or small. On the day of our wedding, I did not have to worry about a single thing. She took care of it all and helped our day run so smoothly. Again, I cannot speak more highly of A Day to Cherish.

This post is way overdue. My husband and I had our wedding 3.14.2020 the day before the entire world shut down due to Covid. Stephanie Poure our coordinator was BEYOND INCREDIBLE during the whole situation. The entire week she was staying in contact with all our vendors to make sure no one was canceling, all without my knowledge (mainly communicating with my husband) so I could be as relaxed as possible, I am so thankful for her. For the day before and day of, Stephanie had a detailed timeline to make sure everything ran properly. Her and her assistant also were so helpful behind the scenes (steaming dresses, placing extra flowers around, all setup process). I could not recommend anyone better, she was extremely knowledgeable which was so helpful for someone like myself who is not good with event planning. If you want your day to run perfectly with little to no stress on you even with a full blown pandemic happen, hire A Day to Cherish. Stephanie was obviously fabulous but I don't doubt the rest of their team is just as great. Forever a grateful bride.

At first the experience was good, THEN...I caught Stephanie in a handful of lies throughout the wedding planning process which in turn cause me to have multiple confrontations with other business relationships. From vendor contracts to misinformation of services, I have had very strained relations with a couple of my vendors towards the end of my planning because of Stephanie. Of course, all this tension buildup did nothing come the day of the rehearsal, when she put down the wrong day and time causing a massive fight to ensue between me, my bridal party, my groom, vendors and most importantly, my future in-laws, who were paying for this wedding. Keeping track of a couple's rehearsal date is something a wedding coordinator should have no problem doing. We had our bridal party angry with us because rehearsal started over 30 minutes late and we almost didn't have a rehearsal because of Stephanie's blunder. Our venue coordinator had to completely turn her plans around all because our so-called wedding coordinator couldn't keep track of something as simple as our rehearsal date; and re-arrangements had to have been made with our rehearsal dinner. What was supposed to be a joyful occasion was awkward and tense; and made an already stressful situation worse when what we all should have been doing was relaxing and looking forward to our big day.On the upside, Stephanie did have a few good points. The contacts she made within the industry have proven to be invaluable; as I took advantage of the many resources she had available to her. She was prompt to meetings most of the time and quick to return calls and messages. However, all these pluses were overshadowed by lack of communication, no delivery on promises (was promised a video screen during cocktail hour but never executed), all while completely leaving us in the lurch a couple of days prior to our wedding for a "family emergency." We had hired Stephanie to make the planning process easier, however in many ways she made it worse. The team in general doesn't come across as very professional and was rude to my other vendors on the day of the wedding and if I had to do it all over again, I probably would not have hired A Day to Cherish for my wedding planning needs. For all you brides out there I caution you before hiring this "team of professionals" and do your research thoroughly before hiring this vendor.
