We asked for a lot and Shi delivered!

We started working with Shi about 15 months ahead of our wedding. She was very professional and answered all of our questions and concerns honestly and thoroughly. From these early conversations, we know that she would try her best to make our date special. Shi helped us with every part of the process: finding and picking venues and meeting some of the awesomest vendors. She helped us figure out what was really important and kept us on schedule. But, she also supported us when I (the bride) had an emotional breakdown after my grandmother passed away 12 days before the wedding.

In the first call we had with her, we felt like she got genuinely excited about our vision and spirit of what we wanted. Shi really heard what we wanted and helped us realize the vision.We wanted a multicultural wedding (with Chinese, Colombian, and Western influences). Shi embraced it completely and made things happen! Shi was organized, timely, and communicated clearly and consistently if there were any obstacles or just keeping us on track. She always looked out for our best interests, and helped us course correct especially when we didn't know ourselves.

We enjoyed every minute working with her, whether it was deciding if the vendor was the right fit, reviewing contracts, and the decorations and layout to, talking about the best restaurants in Portland and our dogs.

Shi is the best wedding planner we could have asked for and more. If there was ever another event I needed, or if anyone needed help planning their party, I would go to Shi first. A wedding is such a major life event and we are so glad we had Shi to support us all the way.

Top tier wedding planner

I have been a wedding professional for over 15 years and in that time I have worked with quite a few wedding planners, and Shi is one of the best. I have had the pleasure of working with Shi on 3 recent weddings, and I cannot recommend her enough. From our first meeting, it was very clear that Shi is incredibly responsive and attentive to the needs of her clients. She was able to bring each wedding’s unique vision to life with her creative ideas and attention to detail. Shi was also extremely flexible, making adjustments as needed to ensure everything went smoothly day-of. I know she is relatively new to the industry, but don’t let that dissuade you - she is the real deal and I expect great things from her in the coming years. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a wedding planner.

10/10, would work with Shi again!

We so appreciated Shi's guidance and advice as we planned our wedding, and she went above and beyond during our two days of wedding festivities to help ensure that everything ran perfectly. We highly recommend planning your wedding or event with Shi!

We booked her intermediate planning package--which was focused on guiding us through many of the planning stages, communicating with vendors on our behalf, providing recommendations and advice, helping to design our floor plan, and full day-of coordination.

The pros of this package were that we had full access to her guidance, expertise, and relationships with vendors (which, if you haven't planned a wedding, is much more important than you think it is!), and for a lower price that was perfect for our budget. The one drawback was that we occasionally experienced some confusion around where our tasks ended and hers began, but as with anything, practicing clear and proactive communication around roles, responsibilities, and expectations was key in keeping everyone on track.

Shi is very warm, thoughtful, and detail-oriented and cares deeply about her clients. As an example, we had a few pre-wedding festivities, including a tea ceremony, that we invited her to as a guest, with no expectation that she would do any coordinating there. When our host struggled a bit to organize everyone for group pictures, Shi didn't hesitate to jump in and help sort everyone into the right group photos. We hope that doesn't set the bar too high for her in future client interactions, but just wanted to share that as an illustration of the degree to which she cares about ensuring a great wedding experience for her clients and their friends and family.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
