From the very beginning, she made the entire wedding planning process feel so much less overwhelming. She was organized, calm, and always on top of the details, which gave us a ton of peace of mind leading up to the big day. On the wedding day itself, everything ran smoothly because of her. She handled things behind the scenes, kept everything on track, and made sure we could actually relax and enjoy the moment. Cherish truly cared about making our day special, and it showed in every detail. We’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding planner who is professional, supportive, and just great to work with!Posted on Gage SearsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My wife and I worked with Cherish with Driftwood Wedding and Events for our wedding in September this year and she was marvelous! Cherish had a ton of great connections for wedding decor and vendors to use that we leaned into. We had no real direction for the day of ceremony, and associated decoration and coordination, and Cherish was a rock star helping us out, not only on our big day, but the weeks leading up! She is insightful, creative and a great help in curating any ideas, last minute or not we threw at her! Our wedding would not have been as memorable or gone as smoothly as it did, had she not been there to help with the vendors and guests! I couldn’t recommend her enough for your wedding planning!Posted on Melissa BarkerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had the pleasure of hiring Cherish C. For my daughters St. Pete Beach wedding. Before hiring her I had already secured the venue and a few of the vendors. Unfortunately we were informed about 8 months before that the venue would not be able to accommodate us (due to damage from the 2024 hurricane). Cherish immediately put on her superhero cape and saved the day! She found us a new venue and helped us secure our exact date in only a few days! She was a rockstar! Extremely responsive, helpful, knowledgeable and went above and beyond with answering all my questions (even the silly ones) and managed to keep this nervous mom calm. The entire experience was well above my expectations and Cherish was a huge part! Do yourself a favor and hire Cherish!!!Posted on Jessica RuotoloTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I live in New York and got married in St. Petersburg March 15th right after the hurricane. My original wedding venue was closed and I was about to give up on getting married in Florida until Driftwood, specifically Cherish, came into the picture. She was always accessible by phone to talk and ease my concerns and she found us a new venue at Sirata and made sure all of our visions come true. Cherish was there to stand next to us on her rehearsal day as well as wedding. Without her, I dont think we would've had the wedding and that is a day I will forever hold close to me.Posted on Sabrina VTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot say enough amazing things about Driftwood Weddings and Events, especially my wedding planner Cherish Coddington! From the very beginning, she was so sweet, attentive, and always in touch to make sure every detail was exactly how I envisioned it. Cherish asked all the right questions and truly cared about making my day perfect. On my wedding day, it rained all day long, but she never let that stop anything, she made sure I still had the wedding of my dreams. She decorated my entire venue beautifully, down to every detail, and made sure it was exactly what I wanted. Cherish kept everything running smoothly so I never had to stress about a thing. I am beyond grateful for all her hard work, patience, and kindness. She is truly amazing at what she does, and I highly recommend her to any bride who wants their day to be perfect!Posted on Olivia BTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. God bless these people! Our wedding was perfect and seamless. She had recommendations for everything, and I used all of them. She coordinated everything for me, and acted as a liaison with my family when I was going to lose my mind on them. The burden she carried for me is priceless, I’d probably give her my kidney if she asked. These people are just that good.Posted on Tomicia FuchsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Everyone needs a Cherish for their wedding day. We had the most insane wedding experience due to having to reschedule because of hurricane Helene. I don’t think I could have kept my sanity without her help. I was a bit of a bridezilla by the time the day had happened, she kept me calm, organized and smiling! She did a perfect job at setting up what we needed her too and equal as good of a job tearing down. She kept track of all the vendors with ease and confidence. This company is highly experienced and knows exactly what you need on your special day.Posted on Rebecca CowneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cherish made all of our dreams come true! We are so thankful for her never ending support, positive attitude, and taking everything on so we didn’t have to worry. Thank you, Cherish!Posted on Allison VeldhuisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommended Driftwood Weddings for your dream St. Pete Beach wedding!! After having to rebook my wedding to a new venue in a short notice after my original venue cancelled on us due to damages from the hurricane, I was connected to Cherish as my day of coordinator at my new venue, the Sirata Beach Resort. From the moment we spoke to Cherish, she was hands on and determined to help us re plan our wedding. I was heartbroken having to let go of my original venue but once Cherish stepped in, I was confident that our vision would turn into something even better. From consistent communication, changing around her schedule to meet up with us every time we were in town, to awesome recommendations for vendors in the area ...Cherish remained professional and genuinely cared about making our dreams come true. We can't thank her enough. Day of, Cherish made sure to have our reception room decorated the way we envisioned. I had a lot of decorations that I brought and very specific instructions on how I wanted everything displayed and she did it perfectly. I never had a doubt with her. During the reception she was very attentive to both me and my groom but also our parents which was really appreciated. My mother has dietary restrictions and my father has mobility challenges and she made sure they were well taken care of. She ran our timeline smoothly and allowed me and my groom to fully enjoy our night without having to think about anything but having fun celebrating our marriage. Cherish got the job done and I will always be grateful!!!!Posted on Google rating score: 5.0 of 5,
