5 Stars is Not Enough: Brooke Saved the Day and Made Our Wedding Weekend Unforgettable!

We could not recommend Brooke highly enough. She is truly amazing, and hiring her was the best decision we made for our wedding weekend. We credit her with bringing the entire weekend together seamlessly. For context, we hired her for two separate events during our wedding weekend, and both experiences were exceptional.

Event 1: Rehearsal Dinner & Welcome Party
Brooke helped plan and organize our rehearsal dinner for 90 guests and a welcome party for 200 guests in Hot Springs, VA. Since our family is not local and had only seen the venue once or twice in person, planning from a distance could have been stressful. Brooke made us feel completely at ease while sourcing, managing, and communicating with all vendors. Her communication was outstanding—she was always prompt, detail-oriented, and equipped with pricing, photos, and reviews. If she didn't have an answer offhand, she immediately researched and gathered direct feedback. Despite having never met her in person until the day before the event (we coordinated entirely via phone, email, and Zoom), we felt total trust in her. She executed our vision for the decor, flow, and logistics perfectly. Her priority was ensuring a memorable, stress-free weekend, and she went above and beyond at every step—from letting us ship items ahead of time to handling vendor logistics and event setup.

Event 2: Wedding Day
Brooke was indispensable on our wedding day. She kept the bride completely at ease and ensured everything ran smoothly from morning prep all the way to the afterparty. Two specific moments highlight her incredible resourcefulness and calm under pressure:

Emergency AV Sourcing: Just two hours before the ceremony, the venue informed us they could not supply a speaker or microphone. Without skipping a beat, Brooke took charge. She double-checked the hotel, called our venue from the night before, arranged to borrow their equipment, drove to pick it up, and had it set up before anyone even realized there was an issue.

Seamless Rain Plan Execution: Five minutes before guests were set to walk outside for the reception, Brooke calmly approached us to let us know a storm was rolling in quickly. She presented clear options, and when we decided to move to our indoor backup location, her team executed the pivot flawlessly. Within 15–20 minutes, all chairs, decor, and guests were transitioned inside. It looked so beautiful and ran so smoothly that you would have thought it was Plan A all along.

Brooke is exceptional at what she does, and we would work with her again in a heartbeat. If you are considering hiring her, feel free to ask her for our contact information—we are more than happy to share further details about our glowing experience!

Loved working with Brooke!

We couldn't have asked for a better wedding planner than Brooke Shehan for our daughter's wedding. Brooke and her team handled every detail with professionalism. She was organized, attentive and incredibly thoughtful. Her dedication, responsiveness and calm, made what could have been an overwhelming process feel seamless which is exactly what we needed. We would highly recommend Brooke for those who are looking for a planner who genuinely cares about her clients and their special day.

Beyond thankful for Brooke!

Brooke was absolutely amazing throughout the entire wedding planning process. From day one, I knew my husband and I were in good hands. She brought such a calm, reassuring presence, especially on our wedding day. Any small problem that came up, Brooke immediately had a solution and she made sure everything went perfectly.

I truly cannot recommend Brooke and her team enough! We received so many compliments from our guests about how helpful, professional, and kind they were. They did an incredible job assisting our guests and setting up our gorgeous venue.

Thank you, Brooke, for everything. We feel so lucky to have had you as part of our special day!

Great Wedding Planner

Brooke was fantastic. We contacted her a few months prior to our big day and couldn’t have made a better choice. She reviewed all of our vendor contracts and ensured that everything looked right. She handled vendor communication and ensured a stress-free wedding weekend. I highly recommend getting Brooke as your planner!

Her organization and preparation were phenomenal, making our dream wedding a reality. Brooke’s extensive knowledge of the local vendors we used made coordination effortless, ensuring smooth communication and collaboration with everyone involved. We can’t recommend Brooke highly enough—she’s truly exceptional!

Wonderful!!

Wedding planning can feel overwhelming, complicated, and stressful. With Brooke’s help, however, my wife and I felt organized, supported, and at ease!

Brooke is efficient and organized. She asks great questions, offers a level-headed perspective for the world of wedding planning, and consistently exhibits a “can-do” attitude.

Whenever my wife and I expressed a need to follow through on a wedding planning to-do list item, Brooke calmly told us, that she’ll “take care of it”. From our first phone call, to the wedding venue walkthrough, to the week leading up to the wedding, up until the final moments of the wedding celebration, Brooke remained an invaluable resource to us.

Brooke is a fantastic wedding planner. She personifies the expression, “cool, calm, and collected”. We greatly appreciated her help with our wedding and highly recommend her to other couples in need of a wedding planner.

Simply the BEST!

If you’re looking for a sign before you book your wedding coordinator, consider this it! Brooke is absolutely the wedding planner for you! My three sisters and I have all gotten married in the past four years, all with various coordinators, and Brooke was by far the best of them all.

Brooke made so much effort to learn about our wedding day vision and ensured that she achieved what we wanted. Her vendor recommendations were top-notch and we received so many compliments from our friends and family members about each vendor (all while not breaking our budget!). On the day of our wedding, Brooke was on her game. Everything carried on smoothly and it allowed my partner and I to relax and take it all in. Seeing how organized and thoughtful Brooke was made us have so much trust in her! I can’t praise her enough for all of her hard work and positive energy through this whole process. Wedding planning can certainly be a stressful time, but having Brooke helped me relax and trust that everything would work out- and it certainly did!
