Shannon Calabrese, owner of Memory Lane Engagments, is a true pleasure to work with. As a caterer, we have seen many wedding planners in action and we can say Shannon diplomatically and, with plenty of grace, operates on the client's behalf from the word "Go." She reviews contracts quickly, deciphers a client's needs vs. wants based on a thorough budget review and provides very personalized service to her customers, suggesting a range of professional services based on the budget review. In our experiences in working with Shannon, we have personally seen even the most reluctant client who likes to have "control" eventually relinquish the details to Shannon because they understood she operates from a point of integrity, honesty and strength on behalf of her customers. As a caterer who appreciates wonderful and organized wedding and event planners, I would suggest Shannon to anyone needing personal attention to details for their wedding or to someone who just needs to be able to turn over the reception day process to a wedding planner so they can enjoy the day.

I beleive in assisting with your decisions but not telling you how to have your wedding.  This is YOUR day!

When interviewing for a wedding planner you need to make sure you connect with who you hire.  You will spend a lot of time with your planner and it makes things easier if you build a friendship while planning YOUR day!
