Just A Little
About Us

We love design. However, it’s the small details, exact logistics, and clear communication that create successful events. This is what we’re passionate about and are committed to delivering with each and every event we work on.

For fifteen years, the Cherry Blossom team has been mapping out logistics and styling events for our fabulous clients. Our team’s past positions in catering, venue management, corporate events, and hospitality have given us the tools to excel in our current roles as event designers. It’s an honor to be entrusted with our couples on one of the most exciting and extraordinary days of their lives. Our mission is to test the boundaries of what is possible, and bring your vision to life in a successful event from start to finish.
