Shannon is a talented coordinator - she was able to speak with us and connect us with vendors who perfectly suited our personalities and wishes. We couldn't have been happier with how our wedding turned out. She is incredibly organized - I'm still not sure how she handles all of her crazy brides!!! Because of her hectic schedule, it sometimes took her a day or two to respond, but she ALWAYS got back to us..... her assistance the day of our wedding was invaluable. I would recommend Shannon and her team to anyone - we were extremely pleased.

I had already been engaged for over 6 months when i found Shannon. Over the course of those 6 months i did very little planning. I had no idea where to start. So i contacted Shannon and started by asking her to suggest some vendors. We met up at Shannon's premiere meeting location (PANERA!!) and she went over some wedding venues with me. This i admit was an unusual first meeting. There was no guarantee i would be booking her, but she spent a full hour with us showing us pictures on her laptop of some of the places she'd worked with. There's no pressure here, and thats exactly what initially drew me in.
So over the course of my planning with Shannon i was probably one of the neediest clients she worked with. I would not be exaggerating if i said i contacted her daily, especially toward the end. Whenever a big decision was coming up, i'd drill her for advice and guidance. She was available through several mediums - phone, text, facebook, myspace, email and i took advantage of each of them throughout the planning process. It is in my nature to feel guilty or uneasy about contacting someone so much, but i never thought twice about doing this with Shannon. She was more than happy to help. Her kindness and patience puts you at ease. She became not only my wedding planner, but a good friend who stood unwavering by my side for an entire year.
The only thing i can take credit for, the only things i did entirely on my own, were choose my wedding dress, my groom (maybe not in that order) and show up on the wedding day. Everything else had a touch of Shannon's brilliant planning abilities. My wedding was this past weekend, and it was beautiful and flawless. Easily the best day of my life. Would i do it all again? Absolutely. Without Shannon? Never.

We hired Wedding Planning Plus to help us with our last-minute planning and day-of-wedding coordination. Shannon was very helpful and attentive in the planning details, and Katie did an amazing job with coordinating the day of our wedding. Both of them are so nice and sweet, and you really feel like they want you to have an amazing day. Katie even went out and bought matches for our sparklers during our reception because we had forgotten to do so. They are both very dedicated wedding planners, and their attention to detail is very noticeable. Some of their vendor recommendations weren't what we were looking for, but they did recommend a great company that came to our reception site and did hair and makeup for all of the girls. We would highly recommend WPP, especially for their wedding day coordination.

I wanted to have a perfect wedding, and I had no clue what to do to make that happen. I have never been married before, and not many of my friends are married, so I had no information. I had heard stories about hiring the wrong vendors and I did not want to make that mistake. That is when we decided we needed a wedding planner. I did some research and everything pointed to Shannon at Wedding Planning Plus. We met her one evening and instantly knew she was the one! She was very knowledgeable and had some creative ideas.
The main service she provided to us, was giving us a connection to vendors that she has seen work before. This was the most important thing to us. She went to all the meetings with us and gave us advice based on what we told her we wanted. We ended up with fantastic vendors, including a reception hall, DJ and photographer.
After a couple months of planning our wedding in NY, I found out we were moving out of state. Shannon always made me comfortable being far away and planning a wedding. We got all the big planning finished before we moved (like hiring all the vendors), and only had to focus on the small things once we moved. It was a seamless process, and many people at the wedding couldn't believe we planned such a gorgeous wedding living 3 states away!
If I ever needed her, for anything, she was always there. I could send her a frantic email one minute and the next minute she would respond and completely put me at ease. She was always in contact, but never over-bearing. She was understanding and always patient.
I don't know how my wedding would have turned out without her guidance throughout the year of planning. If you are planning your wedding, you need Shannon on your team!

It's not an exaggeration to say that Wedding Planning Plus saved my sanity during my wedding planning process. Her help also allowed me to let go of my Type-A ways and truly enjoy my wedding.
I found Shannon after looking at some Capital Region wedding planning websites. We met and I was immediately taken with her easy going personality. I soon learned her to be an organized and detail oriented person. However, she was not a wedding planner that dominated each decision or pushed her opinion on us. She set up appointments with vendors and accompanied us to meetings, asking the important questions that we didn't always know to ask. Then, after arming us with all the information, she'd give us room to make our own decisions to truly allow our wedding to be ours.
It should be mentioned that our wedding was not of the typical variety. It took place about 100 miles out of the Capital Region, was an entire weekend long (Fri-Sun), was in the end of November, and served around 120 guests. Moreover, many of my guests mentioned how "on top of everything" she was.
Bottom line: If you're looking for a wedding planner, choose Wedding Planning Plus... you will be thankful you did.
