My Story

ABOUT CHERISS

Hi, I'm Cheriss! A passionate event planner born and raised in London, Ontario. I have been planning events since I was a little girl and am so happy to share my passion with all of you!  When it comes to planning what are supposed to be "small" gatherings I am a habitual overachiever, and love taking simple celebrations and bringing them to the next level. Charcuterie boards are a staple in our home and there is always a bottle of champagne in my fridge ready for poppin'! I recently got married (April 2022) and now have seen wedding planning from both sides. I love sharing what I have learned from both my industry and personal experience to help future clients enjoy every step of wedding planning.

EDUCATION

With over 15 years of experience in the food and beverage industry, I decided to attend Fanshawe College in 2013 for Recreation and Leisure Services with a focus on special events and fundraising.  I graduated in 2016 after completing my Post Graduate Certificate in Project Management and immediately accepted a position to a manage at a local golf course specializing in weddings and private functions. This role helped me uncover my passion for weddings and shortly after I officially launched Cheriss Nicole Events in 2016.

EXPERTISE

Bringing a client’s vision to life while seamlessly organizing every detail.

"When the dinner has been served, the vows have been said, the late night buffet is being indulged and your favourite 90's R&B song is pulsating through the DJ speakers... you've made it. All of the stress, sleepless nights, planning and preparation are done and you can finally take a moment and enjoy yourself. Those are the kinds of moments I live for."
