Best decision we made!

Choosing Shelby as our partial planner was one of the best decisions we made throughout the wedding planning process.

Shelby has been such a huge help to us throughout the planning process — from bouncing ideas off of her, sourcing us vendor options and helping us determine the ones that made the most sense for our vision and budget, to creating a meticulous timeline, and with the help of her equally wonderful team, ensuring everything ran so smoothly the day-of. Simply put, we couldn’t have imagined our day without her.

Not only is Shelby fantastic at what she does, but she is so kind-hearted and was an absolute joy to work with. She was always just an email or text away and eager to respond (even if it was just to join in my excitement about my bedazzled Stewart’s tumbler for the afterparty). It’s so obvious that she truly cares about her clients, and she really goes above and beyond to make their days so special. She’s genuinely someone that we hope to keep in our lives!

Thank you, Shelby, for everything.

Loved working with Elevated Events!

We hired Shelby for month-of wedding coordination services to help ensure our wedding day was seamless and carefree – and she did just that! She made us feel at ease the months leading up to the wedding, and especially the day of. She helped with day of timelines, coordination with vendors, and ensuring everything was running smoothly from us getting ready through the end of our reception. We are so happy we chose to work with Shelby and highly recommend!

Excellent!!

Shelby was INCREDIBLE! Her deep understanding of our wedding vision from the beginning was so clear to us. From the vendors she matched us with, to the final design details - we were obsessed with everything. She was always available to listen and provide honest advice during the planning process. The wedding went to unbelievably smoothly - if anything went wrong we still have no idea. Shelby and her team were superstars. My husband and I didn’t have to lift a finger, we just got to enjoy and celebrate with our guests. THANK YOU SHELBY!!!
