Cheri is truly a star. She is so amazing at what she does. Getting to work with her was one of the best parts of our wedding. I am from CA but was living in NC so I was planning our wedding long-distance. Even from afar, Cheri made the process so fun and easy on us and was always there to answer my (many many) questions- even at 5am or 11pm. She is so detail oriented and kept me on track with planning. She also has an amazing eye for decor. As a Type A bride, I loved being part of the planning process, but I also felt like I could trust Cheri's judgement 100% and she never led me wrong. She also took care of things before I could even think of them. She is truly so sweet and made all my craziest ideas possible. Now for FLOWERS- not only did Cheri do the planning and rentals, her and her team also did my flowers. I was so blown away- they were exactly what I was dreaming of. Her team captured the inspiration pictures perfectly. Cheri went so far above and beyond in every way, especially the little things. On the morning of the wedding, I woke up with a cold and Cheri brought me a hot tea from Starbucks. One of our guests left their phone on a shuttle, the next day Cheri drove an hour to pick it up. Working with Cheri was a dream and I wish I could do it all over again. read more

My now-husband and I chose to work with Cheri and Meghan at Coastal Classy Events & Design after our first wedding coordinator left us feeling worried that things were slipping through the cracks. Upon meeting with Cheri and Meghan in order to get to know them and to discuss our plans for -- and anxiety about -- our wedding, we quickly felt at peace and knew that we would be in great hands with them. In the approximately six months leading up to our wedding, and especially in the final few weeks, Cheri and Meghan frequently went above and beyond to help make our wedding dreams a reality. We selected Coastal Classy's "Color By Number" / "Day-of-Event Management Plus" package. In the months leading up to our wedding Cheri and Meghan helped us to navigate the process of selecting vendors and finalizing contracts; having them look over the fine print and to begin to interface with the vendors on our behalf was very helpful. In addition they listened to our aesthetic requests and helped us to develop and implement decor that met our needs and, for the most part, our budget. Overall our experience with Cheri and Meghan was excellent. They certainly helped to keep us on track in the final weeks leading up to our wedding weekend, and their day-of coordination and assistance was second-to-none. As we're sure always happens, there were some minor, unforeseen hiccups on the day of our wedding, but Cheri, Meghan, and their staff were rockstars, easily smoothing over the bumps in the road (to the point that we were mostly unaware of any of these behind-the-scenes happenings until after the event). We could not have had as gorgeous and successful of a wedding as we did without Cheri and Meghan; they made us feel like princes, and we will always hold a special place in our hearts for them for all the beautiful memories they helped us to create! If you want to have the wedding of your dreams in Monterey, and have fun with two wonderful planners & human beings along the path of planning, we strongly suggest working with Cheri and Meghan and the rest of the Coastal Classy Events & Design team!

Coastal Classy Events & Design - Wedding Planning Near Me

With the greatest enthusiasm, I recommend Cheri and the Coastal Classy Events and Design. I worked with Cheri and her team for my wedding in Monterey. Cheri was incredible to work with. She was kind, helpful, professional, understanding, and had terrific ideas. She was well-organized and managed the timeline, and coordination with the venders, seamlessly. I felt no responsibility on the wedding day, because Cheri knew our vision and she made it easy for us to relax and enjoy each moment. I am so glad we left the details of the day in her hands. We will be forever grateful and glad to have worked with Coastal Classy Events. read more

Wanted to extend our gratitude to Cheri and Meghan for beautifully decorating and setting up our wedding venue! We requested a "pop of coral" in our floral arrangements which was executed perfectly! Unfortunately we deducted a star for moments of being unorganized at some of our meetings and seeming to persuade us to upgrade on decor options, but otherwise Cheri and Meghan were very kind to work with, had a wonderful vision of how to make our beach chic look become a reality and took time to make our day look like an absolute dream! read more

From the Mr & Mrs: "What I really enjoyed about our wedding day and what made it so great was not having to really think too much about the details, knowing everything was being taken care of.  We weren't exhausted at the end of the night or stressed since we were being guided every step of the way by their amazing team. We really got to take in all the special moments because of that. The thing I appreciated most was the relationship we had with our planners Cheri & Meghan and their open communication.  Cheri made everything so easy!  It felt like she was a close family member who was taking care of all the details and managing each part of our wedding, we trusted her entirely. The best part of it all was being allowed to enjoy the whole day without all the worrying." "Cheri & Meghan did an amazing job at "capturing my vision" with only a few phone conversations and photos.  They were so easy to talk to and I loved working with them. They made wedding planning a joy! On the day of our wedding, everything was so incredibly BEAUTIFUL!  I really loved the flowers and all the details they thought of, everything matched what I had envisioned. I know that nothing can ever go 100% perfectly just as in life, and weddings are the same, but they took care of even the slightest things that might not have been perfect by improvising and adding little details that they knew would make things perfect on the spot, even if that meant moving things or adding things from their own inventory, which we thought was so awesome. That's what it means to go above and beyond for your clients! They are amazing at handling any type of setback without letting it be a big deal. Even our kids were taken care of! I'm so glad we could feel like we could relax and enjoy our day without the added stress of making sure everything went the way we wanted it to. We could trust Cheri and the team 100%, they were like family to us. If I could change one thing, it would be to make our wedding day last longer or to be able to relive it, because it was magical in every way and went by way too fast! Thank you Cheri, Meghan & Team Coastal Classy for everything! You guys were incredible! " read more

As an event producer myself, I wanted to plan to majority of the wedding myself, but also be able to step back and enjoy my actual wedding day and I can't imagine better partners in that endeavor. I knew it from the moment I got on the first exploratory call with them - Cheri and Meghan took it across the finish line with such ease and style, it was everything I could have hoped for and more. They really brought my vision to life, and then some! The immediately saw was I was trying to create and pulled out all of the stops on decor, flow, and feel. Their decor inventory is incredible - my favorite item was their giant, vintage yard games kit - I had been trying to figure out how to bring something like it from Colorado, and didn't have to! Like many, my ceremony was in a different location (though on the same property), and what made it even better was how they repurposed much of the decor from the ceremony for the reception, so the look really permeated the whole experience for the guests. Their organizing abilities are off the charts - they leverage a great tool called Aisle Planner, that allowed me to input all of the details and then simply hand the reins over knowing they had everything they needed. They started communicating with my vendors, some of which were friends and family, in advance so everyone knew where to be and when, and had a solid grasp of their role. Their sense of style is priceless, their humor was an asset that quickly diffused any tension (which I may or may not have had, ha!), and did I mention they even have floral design capabilities? I really can't imagine partnering with anyone else! read more
