The Wedding Planner Knows All

Cherie Ronning spent 28 years planning some of Portland, Oregon's grandest weddings and special events. She estimates she has put on more than 800 shindigs.

Her appreciation of beautiful papers, embellishments and font styles created a new chapter for her business. Uncommon Invites was created to focus on creating invitations and other related wedding printing not available in the market place. With Uncommon Invites she has created a feeling for her customers - that every event is special!

Cherie is very active in the industry. She is the past Oregon State Coordinator for the Association of Bridal Consultants, an international association focusing on excellence in the wedding and event industry. We are proud to announce that Cherie won the prestigious 2008 Dorothy Penner Award, presented annually by ABC. This honor is presented to those who have shown Passion and Excellence to the Wedding Industry.

In 2009 she has founded and is the Executive Director of Wedding Network USA, and 501-6-c non-profit association for wedding industry business owners. This association focuses on education and networking for both business owners and students coming into the field.
