Christina was extremely organized, efficient, and communicative. We started communicating about a year prior to my wedding, and we had instant chemistry. She is so genuine, so caring, and has such a calming presence. As we got closer to the wedding, we had a few planning sessions, and wow, she is THOROUGH! I'm so thankful for that. She made sure we had everything in order, and connected with the other vendors so they knew to go to her for questions (instead of coming to me!!). The day before the wedding, she helped us run through the rehearsal. She even created an itinerary and a booklet that helped us and our families stay organized the day of the wedding. The day of the wedding is when she really shined! She was the point of contact for everyone (vendors, family members, etc.), she kept us on time, she finished decorating, and she gave us peace of mind. Her team went above and beyond! We are truly so thankful for Christina and her team! Because of them, we were able to be fully present on our wedding day, and not worry about a thing! On top of all of that, she is so fun to talk to, down to earth, and a fantastic person!!!

I had the honor of working alongside Lauren for Abby and Mike's wedding in Colorado. As a filmmaker and photographer who has worked with so many other vendors, I can honestly say that Lauren is one of a kind and is a brilliant wedding planner and day of coordinator. What I love most about Lauren is that she is so much more than her job title. She will serve you and your guests in any way that she can and she always puts others before herself. Lauren is hard working, has an eye for detail, deeply cares for people, and she knows how to take charge. Lauren thinks of the small details and always has your best interests in mind. She cares for details that as a bride or groom, you may not have time to focus on during your wedding day. I have to add that Lauren is also incredibly prepared. She has an entire emergency kit built up for any and all of your wedding day needs. I admire Lauren and her business because she is someone who does not settle and is always looking for ways to improve herself and her work. Lauren is a wonderful communicator as well. She made communication between myself and the other vendors completely seamless. I'm so grateful I had the opportunity to work alongside Lauren and I would choose to do so again and again if I could. I highly recommend working with Lauren and the rest of her team, they're absolutely amazing!

I got married on a llama farm, so you could say I’m no stranger to quirky, out-of-the-box celebrations. From that unforgettable day, I realized I have a real knack for bringing dream weddings to life, no matter how unique the vision. Now, I’m here to help couples create their perfect day, whether it’s under fairy lights, in a barn, or even at a llama farm! When I’m not busy planning, I’m at home with my amazing husband, two snuggly cats, and one very fluffy rabbit. Let’s create something magical together!

Many years ago, I was lucky enough to have Michaela help with some last-minute details for my sister's wedding, and she was an absolute lifesaver! Her attention to detail and ability to bring calm to the chaos were exactly what we needed. Now, seeing her officially launch her wedding planning business after planning her own wedding, I'm thrilled for future couples who get to work with her. Michaela is meticulous, dedicated, and truly has a talent for making everything run seamlessly. She’s exactly who any couple needs on their big day!

Hi! I'm Amber! I am a Creative Project Manager and Wedding Pro. I'm from St. Louis, MO and I have been working with couples across the state of Iowa for 3 years. I believe that every bride deserves to enjoy the wedding planning journey without stress or worry. If you are considering hiring a Wedding Planner, I would love to meet you and work with you. You can trust the "A" Team!

Amber was spectacular, hands down. We hired her for her planning services as well as day of coordination. Our wedding was DIY in many regards. We met frequently throughout the year leading up to our wedding and she made sure nothing was forgotten. She introduced us to our bartender and the person who we rented sound equipment as well as her assistant Allison, all of whom were excellent. She worked well with our family members who were also involved in planning. Our rehearsal the night before the wedding itself went off without a single hitch. She truly seemed to care about us and our day. I’d recommend her a hundred times over to anyone!

Cherish the Day

Welcome to Cherish the Day, you are in the right place! My name is Lisa Syring and planning/coordinating your dream day is my game, no need to look any further. Having a Certified Wedding Planner in your back pocket is a great gift you can give to yourself and then wonder how you thought you could manage without me. Lead me to your dream day and I will execute every detail (plus more)! I love to remind my couples if, at the end of your dream day you are married to your best friend, all we did was a success!! My couples entrust in us and execution is key to us.

We could not recommend Cherish the Day enough!! I’ve been raving to anyone who asks—and even those who don’t—about working with Lisa. I initially started looking for “Day Of” coordinators when Lisa presented her “Month Of” package. It was the perfect amount of help for someone who was willing to do all of the legwork of finding and selecting vendors and just wanted assistance with the communication and execution once it was closer to the wedding date. We met with Lisa over a year before the wedding just so we could talk about our vision for our wedding and to see what areas we might need help in. She gave vendor recommendations when needed and made sure I had checklists to stay on track with booking everything. With her experience, she asked us questions about things we didn’t even realize we need to consider and gave suggestions if we were struggling. The best part was that she handled all of the vendor communication in the month leading up to the wedding, and she built the most detailed timeline for us (bridal party and vendors) to follow. My goal was to have someone that any and all questions could be directed to so that I didn’t have to add any stress—Lisa was that person and so, so much more. Both Lisa and her assistant (there on the day of) are amazing to work with—so personal and professional at the same time and there every step of the day. Cherish the Day is truly one of the best investments we made for our wedding!!

Team Yellow Rose truly brought our vision to life. From our initial consultation, I knew that Isabel and I were on the same page. Isabel was creative with different ways to maintain our budget. She went above and beyond by MAKING CANDLES in the exact shade I wanted when we could not find any. Though we did not meet in person often, she was always a quick text or call away which we really valued. I can't thank this team enough for making our dream wedding a reality.

Working out of Lombard, IL, I am a type A planner from the very center of my heart. I love lists, schedules, budgets, and all things organized. Weddings are my passion because they involve so much coordinated detail in every phase of the day from start to finish. I love to see my client's vision for their special day come together with every check off the to do list. I have been coordinating weddings since early 2018, but have been networking in the industry for several years now. I love working with all of the gorgeous venues we have here in the suburbs of Chicago and can't wait to get started planning your dream wedding.

Breann did such a great job helping us plan our wedding! My wife and I weren't sure if we wanted to have a month of coordinator, but we are so glad that we hired Breann. She helped my wife and I plan table placement, decoration set up and tear down, and she was prepared for a lot of the little things that we hadn't even thought of. She even brought us a plate of appetizers during our post ceremony photos so we weren't starving before the reception. All of the organization felt like it came so naturally to her and we never had to worry about communication with our vendors or who stands where and when. We had such a beautiful wedding and it ran smoothly thanks to Breann.
