Kept our day completely on track!!! The BEST!

Shawna and Lisa were the absolute BEST!!! Made my day so carefree! If there were any hiccups, I didn’t hear about them, which is exactly how you want to spend your wedding day.

I opted to use Daydream Events for Day of Coordinator services & for their Photo Booth. Shawna & Lisa kept the day completely on track, moved flowers for us throughout the ceremony and reception, made sure everything was in place and absolutely perfect, brought me my veil and flowers whenever they were needed for photos, & went above and beyond ensuring we had the drinks we wanted at our table during dinner!

They helped arrange our large bridal party at the rehearsal, which was extremely helpful! There are so many things we would have never thought about, but Shawna and Lisa made them happen & went above and beyond to ensure the day went perfectly! So grateful they were there to help with setting up at the beginning of the day and packing up at the end of the night. So many things would have been missed without their help!

Cannot recommend Daydream Events enough!!!!

Stress-Free Day-of Coordination

If you are planning a wedding in the Tahoe or Reno area, hire Shawna—don’t even think twice. She served as our day-of coordinator and was an absolute pleasure to work with. Throughout the planning process, she was incredibly professional and replied to emails quickly, which provided so much peace of mind.

On the day itself, she adapted to changing plans with total ease, handling every variation like she’d seen it 100 times before. Beyond her expertise, her rates are extremely fair for the high level of service and the rentals she offers. She was instrumental in making our day run smoothly!

Gave me all the confidence

I met Shawna at a wedding fair and her relaxed but sharp energy caught my eye. Throughout the whole process she helped me feel like I was getting everything organized on schedule and was available for a quick call here and there for me to stress to her. She always assured me and helped guide my vision. I even had her officate our marriage, I loved her so much and my whole family did too.

Shawna is the BEST!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Shawna! From the very beginning, she was incredibly organized, attentive, and truly invested in making our wedding day perfect. She helped us create a seamless timeline, brought our decor vision to life, and handled every detail with such care and professionalism.

On the day of the wedding, everything ran flawlessly thanks to Shawna. Her calm presence, attention to detail, and ability to anticipate needs allowed us to fully relax and enjoy every moment, knowing everything was being handled behind the scenes. She ensured the day stayed on track and that every element came together beautifully.

Shawna went above and beyond, and we are so grateful for her amazing service. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding coordinator (and event rentals!) who truly cares and delivers a perfect experience from start to finish!

Great planner!

We used Day Dream Events for our day of coordination, and we highly recommend Shawna and her team! The best part was being able to rent all of our decor. The tables ended up looking gorgeous and it was so convenient and easy. Highly recommend using Day Dream Events.

The best of the best!

Shawna at Daydream Events is truly phenomenal. From the second I spoke to her about my daughter’s wedding, she made everything so smooth and easy. She gave the best advice and her and the entire team brought my daughter’s vision to life and it was perfect! There was never a question that she didn’t help me with. The day of the wedding, the staff made it so I had zero stress and they handled everything perfectly. We had some weather challenges and they adapted on the fly, so we didn’t miss a beat. I would recommend Daydream Events to anyone having a wedding. If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would!

Shawna and her team are amazing!

Shawna is a pro and a joy to work with. Her insights helped us plan our wedding, and she thought of so many little details we had never considered. She has an eye for detail and style, and it’s clear our wedding wasn’t her first rodeo! We were able to relax and enjoy our special day, knowing we were in good hands. Her team was professional and hard working. Would highly recommend her for your next event!
