She has gorgeous taste and really helped with bringing together the vision we were going for. She is by far the best vendor! I'm thinking someday we'll have a vow renewal just to work with her again!

I have so many wonderful things to say about Ash and Mukul at Cherry Bird events. They helped me plan a party for my sister's 30th birthday and worked closely and diligently with us throughout the entire process. From finding a venue to coming up with logistics for the day of, working with the DJ and venue teams to get a projector and photo wall. Even small things like helping put together centerpieces, Ash and Mukul did it all. And they did a phenomenal job of helping us put together a party that was not only gorgeous, but within our budget. The Cherry Bird team was just such a pleasure to work with. They were incredibly patient with us throughout the process, and on the day of, were so on top of things! By the time I would realize I wanted or needed something, I saw that Ash and Mukul had already taken care of it! Having them oversee this event was such a blessing. The process was seamless, well thought out, and both Ash and Mukul have such a calming presence that we would also start to calm down. I can’t praise this team enough and am so grateful to have had them run the show. And I know without a doubt that every party I have going forward will be organized by Cherry Bird events.

My name is Steph Stanglin and I am an experienced wedding and special event planner! My goal is to create lifelong memories for my couple through beautiful, customized bridal events. Some fun facts about me are: I have 2 cats (Milo and Kiro) and 1 dog (Rory), My goal is to visit every state and continent before I turn 40, I'm a certified Swiftie, and Reality TV and chocolate are my guilty pleasures. Most likely to be seen carrying a binder and crying at first looks and vows.

I cannot say thank you enough to Steph! She was absolutely amazing. She was so committed to learning what aspects of the wedding were most important to us and making sure they happened on the day of. For example, we were getting caught up in the dancing and were going to skip the cake cutting. She didn’t push, she just asked, “Are you sure? You told me that this was something that was important to you, so I just want to check”. And I’m so thankful she did that, because it’s one of my favorite wedding moments! She went absolutely above and beyond for us. I am currently in medical school and was so stressed leading up to the wedding, but Steph made me feel like it was possible. She was so organized and wrote out every detail we discussed. She went out of her way to suggest some vendors we were struggling to book last minute, and the list goes on. I cannot recommend Steph enough. She is wonderful and sweet and kind and I cannot believe I found her! We could not have done it without her.

Meshawn and the team at Perfection Unlimited were our Coordination team for our October 2023 wedding. We could not have asked for a better team to coordinate our unique wedding ceremony that was a surprise to our guests. After connecting with PU via Thumbtack back in mid-2023, we spoke with Matthew who immediately understood the importance of our vision. Our wedding was held at the New Parkway Theater in Oakland, Ca. It started off as a friends and family screening of a short film (the Bride was the director, the Groom was a crew member). Then, during the post-film Q&A, we revealed to our guests that we were getting married right then and there in the theater. Not only did PU coordinate a film screening complete with red carpet, step & repeat photos, food, drink, DJ and more, but they helped transition into a full wedding ceremony. Meshawn ran point on everything: rehearsal, procession, recession, cake, etc. Stellar team members, Angel and Rakisha, executed everything flawlessly. Angel acted as the special events coordinator, making sure our tech was on point (sound, picture, graphics, everything!) and she even made a reel for us to post on our socials. PU was up for the challenge of our 2-in-1 surprise wedding/film screening, and they rose to that challenge with much aplomb. For what we asked for, they could've up-charged us greatly. PU made us feel heard and seen throughout the process. We wanted our wedding to be a collaboration between BIPOC businesses and creators celebrating what we can achieve when we work together. Thanks to PU for what they promised, perfection.

Jacki and her team are simply fabulous! There is so much more to hair and makeup services than simply making you look and feel your best, though they will do that too! Just as important is Jacki's understanding of wedding days and special events, their timelines, working with other vendors as a team, and how best to be able to touch up your makeup throughout the day (esp those lips!) and making sure you look fresh! She takes care to listen to her clients' needs rather than choosing what style to use. Jacki is just one of the kindest, most lighthearted and fun wedding professionals out there. She would be a great addition to your wedding team and be an amazing way to start your day!

The greatest day of coordinator we could have asked for! Mel’s organization and communication skills made us feel so comfortable leading up to the big day. Her ability to think on her feet and react quickly made the wedding day a breeze. She guided us through areas where she anticipated issues and was calm in all situations. She was wonderful working with all of our family members and vendors, navigating every turn seamlessly.

I love people & love 💗 I get to utilize my 20+ years of experience in the service industry & B.A. in sociology to help my couples enjoy themselves during such a special time of their lives. Growing up in a large family I’ve been throwing/hosting parties & events what feels like my entire life (for free lol). Since a young age I would say that some day I’d be getting paid to throw parties because I loved it. Then in February of 2017 I finally decided to enter the industry professionally & also became the Venue Coordinator for The Yolanda Ranch. I was truly honored that then in 2018 & 2019 we were voted Best Wedding Venue in Yolo County 💗

Cristina is amazing! My husband and I got engaged right before COVID hit, so we were checking out venues right before then. We met Cristina in March of 2020, and she made such a great impression on us we didn't forget her or the venue even after 2 years of waiting to start wedding planning again. We reached back out to her and were so happy she and the venue were still available. She did so much to help make our wedding experience the best it could be and more. She is incredibly personable, reliable, responsive, and I felt so much more comfortable knowing we had her to help and guide us through on our wedding day. All of the vendors she recommended were great and made it so much easier on us not having to try to do so much research on reliable and affordable vendors on our own. Cristina is so friendly and sweet, and is such a family and people person and made me, my husband, and my family feel like she truly cared about our wedding day and experience. My family is extremely important to us, and weddings can be stressful and she was able to gain that trust from my family immediately and we felt that we were in good hands. From beginning to end, she was such a tremendous help and I am so thankful for her, and her business!
