Merry Me Events - Edwardsburg, Michigan

Ben and Carson Buckley

To put it simply, our wedding day could not have happened without Cher and Merry Me Events. During the planning process, we were really focused on vendors that had experience at Notre Dame and could wear multiple hats and we found that in Cher and Merry Me. They were responsible for helping us design our entire wedding day, including ceremony and reception decor, coordinating with all rentals vendors, and they were also our florist.

To kick off the process, about 6 months before our wedding, Cher sent us a very detailed form asking us to describe our vision, provide examples of weddings we'd loved, and any details we had to have. She was so open and receptive to all of our ideas and went out of her way to help us with the little things. For example, we were planning on ordering and bringing dance floor props but she had us just send them to her and she set them up with a beautiful basket and signs. We also wanted to have embroidered napkins as a special touch. She helped us find a napkin vendor AND someone to embroider them. She went the extra mile in every sense of the word.

We told Cher we wanted to be wowed when we walked into our venue. I had done a tremendous amount of research on Notre Dame, and more specifically Morris Inn, weddings and I wasn't sure she could do it as I'd seen so. many. wedding photos. She BLEW US AWAY. I definitely teared up walking into our beautiful ballroom reception. Every detail was planned to perfection, every flower was perfectly placed. I cannot sing the praises of Cher and Merry Me enough. Run, don't walk, to book them for all your wedding needs!

I am so grateful we had Corinne along the journey with us for our wedding - merryme was our full service planning and design, which made it easy to plan our wedding in south bend from Chicago! Corinne went above and beyond on our wedding day to ensure myself, my husband and our family got to focus on having fun and being in the moment while every little detail was handled by her. Not only that, but the design came together flawlessly and we completely transformed the ballroom!

Can’t recommend merryme enough 🩵 I’ll always remember how great they made our weekend.

We worked with Mo & team for our 2024 Statesmanship Dinner at the University of Notre Dame, and we received countless comments that the Smith Ballroom has never looked so beautiful. The decor was exquisite and totally transformed the space. Mo was efficient, professional, and easy to work with. She perfectly understood our vision and executed it flawlessly.

There’s good reason Cher is considered the best in the business. Cher did all of our flowers for our wedding and reception decor at the Armory in South Bend, Indiana.

Cher did an incredible job at making the vision in my head come to life.
We were obsessed with our sweetheart table, and all of our guests loved our micro lounges. Cher also had really thoughtful ways to incorporate our personalities, jobs, and passions into the space. We had a stress-free wedding day knowing that MerryMe would take care of decor and design, and will forever be grateful for their amazing work.

We had the best experience working with Merry Me on planning, designing, and coordinating our wedding. From the very start of my interactions with Cher, she was professional and easy to work with. Throughout the process, I felt as though she and the team understood my vision for our wedding day and truly cared about our happiness. We started planning right at the start of COVID, and ended up with a beautiful wedding in June of 2021. Christan was our day-of coordinator, and she helped the events of the reception run smoothly. When a few things did not go smoothy, I didn't even find out until the day after! My husband, parents and I would highly recommend the services of Merry Me for all things wedding planning!

Cher, Corinne and the team are absolutely the BEST!! I worked with them for flowers, tablescapes and day of planning & coordination for my wedding in August 2022 at Notre Dame. For florals & table decor, I really appreciated all of Cher's guidance and she was so wonderful to work with, especially through the process of moving dates due to covid. The arrangements & decor turned out beautifully! For day of planning & coordination, we absolutely loved working with Corinne! She was SO helpful, especially with planning the wedding from out of town & truly can't imagine not having her help! She was very thoughtful, detail oriented, listened to what I was looking for and gave great advice. She made sure everything went smoothly with our timeline, vendors, our family and so many details. I also really loved being able to use the tools Merry Me provides to work through details together and make sure I wasn't forgetting anything. I really felt like Corinne was my #1 person and was there for us to make the day stress-free & fun. I almost didn't add on day of coordination and I'm SO glad I did and feel so grateful that Corinne was available to help. I would highly recommend Merry Me!!

Cher and Casey helped bring our dream wedding to life! Highly recommend hiring Merry Me for your next event. They are extremely experienced, creative, and flexible. Cher also has an excellent eye for florals/design.

How does a father that’s a control freak who wants to make sure that his daughter has the perfect wedding ever go about selecting a wedding planner and day of coordinator? During the early planning process this was one of the toughest decisions I had to make and after talking to both MichaelAngelos Events and MerryMe Events several times I made the decision to move forward with Cher and Kevin with MerryMe Events - and it was one of the very best decisions we made! This was an elegant 300-person wedding in the new Dahnke Ballroom at Notre Dame and every detail needed to be perfect - and with Cher’s assistance and guidance along the way it was! This text from my daughter the night of the wedding says it all: “We didn’t get to say good night to you guys! Thank you for the best wedding ever!! It’s more than we could have ever dreamed of!! Love you!”

Believe me I am not always easy to deal with but through it all we worked together to give our only daughter and son in-law a day they will always remember! To be an exceptional wedding planner, besides being creative, I feel you need patience, flexibility, and to be able to appreciate and understand the nuances of your client so you can work together. Cher did this and it was most appreciative - and the end result was just breathtaking! In addition to Cher being the wedding planner and day of coordinator she also worked with us on the design and arrangements of all the flowers as well as the cocktail and wedding reception linens, table decorations, lighting and much more!

If you’re looking for an exceptional wedding planner, day of coordinator, and florist in South Bend, and especially at Notre Dame, regardless of the amount of people you plan to invite, your venue, or budget, the very best company that offers you the most value for your money is MerryMe Events!
