Cherish the Day 

5.0

  • Offers 4 services
  • Starts at $1,400
  • Serves Washington, IA

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!!

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!

Hi! I'm Brooklyn - the owner! I'm 22 years old & happily married to my best friend, Michael. Traveling is a huge part of our lives, WDW is our happy place, & our next adventure is never far away. When I'm not at a wedding, you can find me in the flower shop or doing some *light* retail therapy. I recently graduated from KSU with a B.S. in Hospitality & Event Management. I have had the opportunity to work with some amazing couples & vendors in several states. I even spent time in FL working closely with one of the world's leading entertainment companies bringing hundreds of fairytale weddings & events to life. Now, I'm making magic of my own!

Awarded Best of Zola
I had the pleasure of working with Brooklyn Rain Brides LLC on several occasions, and Brooklyn consistently impressed me with her top-tier communication, quick responsiveness, and professional yet friendly approach. The quality of her work is amazing - she is well-organized, detail-focused, and excellent at maintaining communication with all vendors. For the styled shoots that I worked with at, Brooklyn expertly handled the setup, controlled all the details, and ensured seamless coordination with everyone involved. I can't wait to collaborate with them again on a real wedding day and see their magic in action once more.

I wasn't sure about having a coordinator but I needed one for my venue rules so after getting in contact with Connor, I knew I would be in good hands. From the beginning with Connor, I felt that I could always ask questions and she always communicated so clearly and flawlessly. She is so personable and genuinely kind. Natalie was my day of coordinator. Connor made sure Natalie had all of the information so she could step right in and kill it and she really did. I clicked with Natalie instantly and felt that she could handle anything. She handled changes with ease and we ran ahead of schedule all day between her and the other vendors. She checked in with me often and made sure we ate and drank and I loved that we had a drink waiting for us at the table. She was easy to talk to and she was amazing at communicating changes to the other vendors and treated my whole wedding party, guests and us as if we were her own family. I'm so happy that I went with this company and these ladies because they truly helped make my day all the more special.

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!

From beginning to end, our team approaches every moment with you in mind. We stand by the belief that no occasion is too big or too small to be handled the utmost level of care and professionalism. Memories and love last a lifetime.

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!
