Shawn Marie is wonderful. I don't even have enough words to describe how smoothly she ran my wedding day. I hired her for day-of coordination but she was really there to help me for the 4-6 weeks prior to my wedding. I am an organized control freak (even when I am not planning a wedding) and she did her best to help me realize what I could and couldn't get done (realistically) right before my wedding. She also was great in terms of working with all the vendors right before my wedding and making sure my wedding day ran perfectly. She also took care of some things that I didn't even think of.

One of the reasons I hired her was because of her personality. She has a very calm personality, but you can tell that she can take control when she needs to. I knew that my mom and others in my wedding party would respond well to her and they all loved her. I got many compliments after the wedding about how well she did. My mom was glad that she was able to enjoy the wedding, while Shawn Marie took care of all the little things. Frankly, I was too. Another reason I hired her was because I wanted to get a wedding planner on board early and many companies would not talk to me until I was much closer to my wedding date. I really appreciated her flexibility on that point.

If you are on the fence about hiring a wedding planner, I would strongly encourage you to get one and I would highly recommend Shawn Marie.

We used Shawn Marie to coordinate the day of our wedding. She met with us a month out and made sure we had everything we needed. She was a godsend the day of the wedding - she took care of all the vendors, made sure everything was set up as it should have been, answered any questions anyone had. My husband and I did not lift a finger the day we got married...Shawn Marie covered everything for us. I wasn't really that sold on wedding coordinators until I had one. She made me believe that they are an absolute necessity!!

Shawn Marie was our "day of" event coordinator. Although she was technically "day of", she made me feel as though she was there from the moment we signed on with her. She attended the walk thru at the venue and made herself available for any vendor meetings we chose to have her at. She is very thorough, organized, and worked exceptionally well with the vendors. She took care of EVERYTHING the day of the wedding and before. My husband and I (not to mention our families too) had a wonderful time at our wedding and we credit a large part of that to Shawn Marie, who let us enjoy ourselves while she made sure everything ran smoothly. Shawn Marie also ran our rehersal, our large wedding party knew exactly where they needed to be at all times. I strongly recommend Shawn Marie for your wedding, she was a pleasure to work with!
