Best Team Ever!

I used Cue the Champagne for my wedding last weekend. This was the easily the best money we spent through the whole process. We hired Cue the Champagne about 8 months out from out wedding. We had monthly check in calls with Shannon in which she made sure we were staying on track. Shannon went on maternity leave 3 months before and Shaun stepped in during that time. There were no hiccups or interruptions to the planning process during that time. In the couple weeks leading up to the wedding Shannon took over communication with out other vendors to make sure they knew where they needed to be and when! I'm not being dramatic when I say our wedding day could have not been more perfect and I think that is mainly due to Shannon, Carmen, and Madi. They made sure all the final details were perfect and helped make sure my vision came to life. While many other weddings I have been a part of have been chaotic and rushed, the timeline that Shannon created gave plenty of buffer room and included relaxation time after photographs and before the ceremony. At the end of the night they ensured that all checkboxes were ticked so that we would received our security deposit back. I have nothing but kind words to describe my experience with Cue the Champagne. I would divorce my husband just to marry him again so we can hire Shannon for the second wedding.

Sperrazza-Reginatto Wedding

I can’t say enough good things about Shaun and her team. I had a two year engagement and they were there every step of the way. I could not even imagine my day without their team. We had a huge wedding party of 20 people and her team made it flow absolutely effortlessly. If you are on the fence about hiring them, may this be your sign to go ahead and book them! After my experience with them I can most certainly say they are the best! 🩷

A Momma’s Peace of Mind

We hired Shaun with Cue the Champagne for our daughter’s September wedding for the “peace of mind” package, and let me tell you she delivered!
They worked tirelessly behind the scenes from wedding coordinating to day-of set up so we could be fully present in the moment and enjoy the day.

Shaun and her team will be the best investment you’ll make planning your wedding. Not only is her work ethic impeccable, her design is imaginative and flawless. She truly is a master at her craft.

After everything is said and done, our experience with Cue the Champagne was like working with family. She truly has your back and makes you feel at ease in this crazy time of planning. Hiring Cue the Champagne was the best decision ever!

The best!

We cannot recommend Cue the Champagne enough! Shannon and her incredible team were absolute rockstars throughout our entire wedding planning process. Shannon was organized, attentive, and always a step ahead, ensuring every detail was perfectly executed. Her calm, professional, and friendly demeanor kept everything running smoothly and stress-free, and her team was just as amazing—efficient, supportive, and genuinely invested in making our day unforgettable. From start to finish, Shannon and her team made us feel confident, cared for, and completely at ease. If you’re looking for a wedding coordinator who is talented, reliable, and has an insane team to back them up, Shannon and Cue the Champagne are the perfect choice!

Best investment EVER!

We just can't say enough about how wonderful Shaun & her CTC team is. My daughter's wedding was absolutely magical and in large part, it's because of Shaun! We absolutely loved our venue, but when we decided to move the reception indoors, we were very underwhelmed with the options. Shaun's incredible vision turned a boring ballroom into more than we ever dreamed it could be. PERFECTION!!! Shaun's expertise & attention to detail put our minds at ease through every step of the process. Since this was our first wedding adventure, we had no idea how important having an incredible planner would be. NOW WE DO!!!
Knowing Shaun was in charge allowed us to relax & just enjoy every moment of this beautiful day.
THANK YOU, SHAUN!!!!! We just adore you!

Simply the BEST

We LOVED working with Shaun and the entire Cue the Champagne team! We planned our wedding from afar and, as two indecisive but big-dreamy brides, we couldn't have found a better match than Shaun. She took our wild ideas and dreamed even bigger, turning our wedding day into an incredible and beautiful fantasy we still can't get over. Her creativity and knack for design made it a beautiful and gorgeous day, but her incredible work ethic and willingness to go above and beyond truly made our day and the entire planning process so easy and fun. Throughout the year, leading up to our big day, Shaun made herself available for questions and Zoom meetings and made sure we felt a part of the process even though we were out of state. She is an incredible problem-solver and knows everyone worth knowing in town, creating a flawless vendor team that made our day so easy and joyous. She has created a wonderful network of people who all felt like part of the family by the end of our wedding day. I can't recommend Cue the Champagne enough - you will love Shaun's vision, her professionalism, and her sparkling personality!

Look no more…

Shaun was an absolute pleasure to work with! Not only does she know what she’s doing, she is extremely knowledgeable about how to fix issues that arise and anticipate things all while having a smile on her face. You really can stop your search here because this is it. She is flexible, listens to what you want, and gets it done. That’s what I needed and I got even more. I was panicking about decor and she just took the wheel and my wedding was the most magical thing you can imagine. Her team is amazing too! We are so glad we went with her.

We are beyond thankful for Shaun and the Cue the Champagne team and cannot recommend her services more! Our wedding was everything we dreamed of and more. Shaun went above and beyond to capture our vision and ensure our weekend was special. She helped us stay on top of planning, found the perfect vendors in our budget, and ensured everything came together. Our wedding weekend was stress free and absolutely beautiful!

Cue the Champagne also did our flowers and they were stunning! The overall decor came together beautifully and I can't imagine anything different. From the first call, we knew that Shaun was going to have a huge impact on our wedding and it was an easy decision to work with her. She made the process seamless and so much fun! The day of team was a joy to work with.

Dream wedding, dream team

It is so hard to put into words how truly AMAZING Shaun and her team at CTC are!! 

As an out-of-state bride, I had no idea where to start or who to contact in the wedding industry. Lucky for us, Shaun was recommended to help plan our wedding in Chattanooga, TN and for that recommendation I am SO grateful. Shaun and her team were there for us from start to finish and made wedding planning so easy, enjoyable, and fun! For a year + Shaun connected us with amazing vendors, answered allllll of our questions, kept us organized, helped create the most beautiful vision, put out fires as needed, and kept us calm. 

Our wedding was at a private residential venue and let me tell you.. Shaun KILLED IT. With a residential venue comes many challenges, of which she handled with absolute grace, but also so many possibilities. Throughout this process it was so obvious to see Shaun's creativity and love for this industry flowing through her! Her attention to detail is unmatched, her understanding of wedding day timeline, her view from guest perspective, her constant communication with us and the vendors, her support and guidance... she is EVERYTHING you need and want when it comes to planning your dream wedding. 

On the day of our wedding, Shaun and her team went above and beyond. They handled everything from top to bottom so that myself, my husband, and our families could be present. Each of the ladies from CTC whom we had the pleasure of meeting were so fabulous, professional, so helpful, and all played a major role in ensuring our day was flawless. We have received so many compliments on our wedding — how smooth the day was, how STUNNING it was, and how well planned, and we owe it all to Shaun and Cue The Champagne. We could not have pulled this off without you! 

Cue The Champagne was the BEST decision we made throughout our entire wedding planning process. I recommend Shaun and her team to anyone and everyone planning a wedding in Chattanooga, TN and the surrounding areas, you won't regret it! Let the photos speak for themselves... 

P.S. Shaun, I miss you girl!!! 
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
