Small Town Wedding

I can't say enough how thankful I am for Cheri and her team!! From the moment she overheard my mom talking about our wedding and trying to find vendors, she was helpful. I explained all my wedding ideas and dreams and then executed perfectly. She was my day of coordinator as well and she brought everything together just as I imagined. I didn't have to worry about anything. She worked with me every step of the way and checked in to make sure the timelines were right. I would recommend her to any bride! More...

Working with cheri was great. The bouquets and centerpieces were beautiful! The boutonnieres were a little bigger than I would have liked but still looked great on the guys. We made a few last minute changes (adding another corsage for my junior bridesmaid and taking away her bouquet since she wouldnt be able to carry it walking my dogs down the aisle. The forist forgot one of the corsages but ran it over quickly) she did not end up charging me for the changes made. Despite those very small issues the entire wedding was absolutely amazing and she made everything beautiful. Overall, I would highly recommend. More...

We used small town for my daughters wedding. Cheri was not only our planner and our florist, she was our calm voice /email when things got a bit tense. She talked me off a few ledges and Everything about this company was impeccable. I just can’t express in words how happy we were not only with how it turned out but how easy Cheri made it. If your looking for a planner, look no further. I promise you its worth it. I also doubt very highly we would have gotten the quality and beauty of the floral arrangement anywhere at the prices they had. Cheri you made this process such a wonderful experience. Thank you. � More...

I hired Cheri as the day-of coordinator for my wedding this past October, and I feel so lucky I did. Even though we were planning a wedding from across the country, she was a helpful contact throughout the wedding planning process, listening to our must-haves and priorities, suggesting other amazing local vendors and venues we would never have found otherwise, and even traveling with us to tour some of the venues. She created, set up, and tore down the decorations and floral arrangements - all of which were beautiful. She handled several last minute details and all the day-of wrenches with a comforting, easy grace and somehow pulled our wedding day off seamlessly! More...

I want to let you know how wonderfully organized, calm, efficient, thorough and pleasant you were to work with in planning of our family wedding that finally launched last Saturday! I think most of all, your calm and reassuring spirit was most helpful the day of the wedding.

Given all the questions we had and the checklists that we created, you know that we had a “critical eye” for the details – and you took care of every one. I was very glad that my daughter was eventually able to let go of things into your very capable hands! The day was so spectacular – beautiful weather, incredible ceremony set-up, deck tables and displays for the appetizers and pre-reception gathering…and the seamless collaboration between you and John the DJ for the ceremony and reception festivities was fantastic. I know that you many times said to me, “That’s my job” (eventually I did listen, didn’t I?) – however it certainly proved it again and again throughout the evening. Please pass on my thank-you’s to your able-bodied “staffers” as well!

Thank you for your partnership and tying together of all the details – three days later and my energy is finally returning. The fact that you were present on the day of the wedding over 12+ hours and didn’t look exhausted at the end is quite commendable. More...

CK Catering so enjoys working with Jerry, Cheri with Small Town Weddings, and the team at Blissful Barn. Through dedication, imagination, and love, Jerry has taken an old rustic barn and transformed it into a vision of beauty. We love watching their progress and success as a new venue. Their beautiful wood work completes the barn: from the remastered floor to the spiral staircase to the charming gazebo out back. The stringed lights and trendy bar area gives the space a rustic chic look. All will feel absolutely blissful at this location. More...

Cheri was easy to work with and my flowers were beautiful and exactly the look I was going for. It was difficult to get a hold of her at times but when we communicated, she was great. I thought the bouquets were a bit small for the price paid. $50 for each bridesmaid and mine was free because I booked with a vendor but it was supposed to be a $175 value -- I would have been really upset if I had paid $175 for my bouquet. We only purchased boutonnieres and bouquets from Small Town Wedding because our centerpieces were all candles. More...

I hired Cheri as my day of coordinator because no one can do it all on their wedding day! I'm a planner (and a little bit of a control freak) in my professional career, so I knew I wanted to handle everything leading up to our special day, so I didn't want to pay for a full Wedding Planner package, plus I was watching every penny - weddings are outrageously expensive. Cheri was so easy to work with. The week of our wedding, I passed over all my details and had no doubts she would execute the perfect day. She was so sweet and worked her tail off to make sure everything was taken care of so we could just live in the moment and enjoy our day. At the end of the night, I don't know how she did it, but she wrapped everything up and we were packed and ready before we were kicked out by the venue! I can't say enough good things about her. She was reasonably priced and our day definitely wouldn't have gone as flawlessly without her. More...

I cannot say enough nice things about Cheri and Piper from Small Town. I knew I wanted to hire a wedding coordinator for the day of the wedding so that I could enjoy the day and not stress about the little details. ......Piper did just that. She arrived early and stayed late. She was willing to roll with anything that happened during the day and accommodate or adapt to it. She decorated the room beautifully and put so much work and effort in to make sure that I would not have to stress out about the little things on the big day. I was able to enjoy every moment about my day and for that I could not thank her enough. Look no further for a wedding coordinator....Cheri and Piper are the best!! More...

Cheri was as good as advertised and then some! After meeting with Cheri for the first time months before our wedding we knew we were in good hands. New Buffalo, MI was a mini-destination wedding for us, being from Chicago. We did not know any vendors in the area and Cheri helped us navigate and find the best vendors. It certainly helped that she's had professional jobs with these vendors before, so everything went flawless. We had a beach wedding and Cheri took us to a few possible venues and helped us select the best beach for our needs. She set up the flowers and decoration for the ceremony and the reception, we couldn't be happier at how it looked. We appreciated having Cheri throughout the whole process, and she truly shined the day of our wedding. We had a beach ceremony and it was raining all morning. We had to make a call on weather we would continue to have the beach wedding or call it and have the ceremony indoors. Cheri stuck with us and gave us a cut-off time for the decision. We decided to go for it and have the beach wedding. Sure enough the clouds parted and we had sunshine on the beach! What was amazing, is that Cheri set up the wedding 2 hours prior to people arriving. Her staff worked and light speed and made it happen. We are so appreciative of her and her staff's efforts!

Cheri was a wonderful help for our wedding! We contacted her about 4 months in advance over the phone and had a great customer service experience with her throughout the entire process. She promptly responded to emails, clearly explained her packages and helped us pick the right one for our wedding (mostly planned at that point - we hired her as 'Day of Coordinator - Lite'), and as the wedding drew near went through our day with us. The contract was clear and included all relevant details. Cheri visited the city and venues we would be in, in advance of the wedding day. The wedding rehearsal and day was a blur but we knew she was keeping things organized and running well as anything within her power to do ran very well! She was very helpful in keeping people involved in the wedding organized and helping move/remove crucial items (bouquets, pew flowers, wedding flutes, etc) and quietly packing up at the end as the reception wound down for a speedy exit. She was such a kind and calming presence and her many, many years of experience as a wedding coordinator shone through. Even previously skeptical family members thought her presence and work in simply helping the day run smoothly was a blessing. We would highly recommend Cheri to anyone! More...

From beginning to end, Cheri was a delight to work with. She was professional, helpful, optimistic, cheerful, and great at keeping track of all the details. She can handle the whole event, from venue, to flowers, to rentals. I didn't want to do much of the coordinating, I'm from Chicago and I don't know the vendors around South West Michigan, so I relied on her recommendations, and it was a big relief and she totally came through with a great wedding. I would highly recommend her for any event. More...

I was very impressed with the quality of service received. This was for a wedding and the reception was held at our home and I actually got to enjoy it! No worries because my coordinator took care of everything! She had things taken care of, before I even know they should be. She stayed calm while I was starting to panic about things, usually small things, and helped keep my nerves calm too! I have had several people tell me how professional she was, and that she had everything under control, right down to keeping any eye on the weather due to a possible storm coming in. I firmly believe she would have stayed and washed up dishes had I asked her too, that's just how helpful she was. I am so thankful I checked into Small Town Weddings and I would definitely use their services again----I do have one more child to marry off :-) More...

Cheri did an amazing job. I had made center pieces and she added the flowers and arranged them on the tables. She made sure the girls were on a timeline and had her assistant check in on us at the salon. She was very courteous. If I had a request or needed something she helped. She made sure all vendors had their payments and were where they needed to be and at what time. Cheri stayed the entire night and also helped clean up. I couldn't of found a better day of the wedding coordinator. I goggled event coordinator and the name is what caught my attention, then I read the reviews and called her. I highly recommend Small Town Wedding! More...

Cheri was an absolute delight to work with....so much so that I decided to cease working with our florist and use her for everything from Flowers, to Catering, to Day of Coordination and Decor.

The thing I love most about Cheri is that she is extremely patient and calm, which is hard to find in a wedding coordinator. I always said I wouldn't have one because I've seen them stress out brides with commands and instructions, but Cheri was a cool as a cat... and helpful doesn't even begin to describe her.

I not only recommend Small Town Wedding, I'd say you'd be silly not to use them :)

My husband and I never once in the rehearsal or wedding days felt stress, pressure or any of the horror stories you hear at other weddings, and I believe that was much in part due to Cheri and her team!

Not to mention, the artistry from the chalkboards to the custom bar to the AMAZING flower arrangements were out of this world and extremely professional.
