It cannot be overstated how much attention to detail, foresight, and seamless communication comes from Shirley. Shirley literally planned my wedding in two weeks after I had procrastinated to the end of our 1-year engagement period. I hired her with 2.5 weeks left until the wedding date with nothing booked but the officiant. Giving her total creative control was the best decision we could have made. Guests spoke amongst themselves and to us that it was the most beautiful wedding they've been to. No one could have known that two weeks prior we didn't even have a vision or color scheme. Shirley's creative control led to a design that far surpassed most Instagram or Pinterest-famous wedding designers, and for her design alone we could have easily paid her twice her rate without question. On top of this we got her booking of dining, rentals, florals, and coordination from the day we signed the contract until the day after the wedding when the rentals were due back. We will forever use Shirley and recommend her for all events as the gamble of trying for a different planner can't possibly be worth the quality, ease, and reassurance we got from Shirley. If you are stuck between Shirley and another planner, I cannot urge you strongly enough to go with Shirley. She will immediately become your big sister, your confidante, your planner and your friend that you met for the first time and you will walk away with your wedding as the happiest day of your life.

Shirley from Genesis Wedding helped us plan and execute our traditional Chinese banquet wedding in Brooklyn, NY. Being Chinese-American, we honestly did not know too much about traditional Chinese banquets and what to expect. Shirley helped alleviate all the headaches we would have encountered (including babysitting my ridiculous family members, thank you!) and overall our event was excellent! Even though we hired her for a traditional Chinese banquet style wedding highly recommend Shirley for any occasion as she proven her ability as a skilled wedding planner!

My husband and I were so glad we hired Shirley to be our day of coordinator. She helped us sort through details prior to the wedding, and was familiar with the Sheraton as a venue. She also came to the rehearsal and met all our family members. On the day of, she coordinated everything from setting up the venue and decorations, to the order of our photos, to even decorating the wedding cake when she realized it didn't have flowers on it! Things flowed much more smoothly because Shirley was in charge, and managed everything. If you're looking for a coordinator, then we would highly recommend that you hire Shirley!

Honestly, I was not sure if I wanted to get a day-of coordinator. I really thought that we can handle all of the logistics ourselves. But my wife seriously wanted to get one, and I really couldn’t be happier with that decision. We had a typical Chinese banquet in Flushing, New York. The only problem is that I don’t speak a single word of Chinese. Not only Shirley coordinated with the vendors to make sure everything ran smoothly, but she acted as an informal translator between us and our Chinese vendors.

When it came to wedding day, everything ran smoothly. She made sure that the food came out on the right time, the DJ played the right music, the guests are happy, etc. My wife also had an emergency wedding dress situation – no one knew how to bustle her dress! We needed the dress bustled right before our first dance, or we would be tripping all over each other. Shirley and her assistant were super helpful and were able to successfully help my wife bustle her dress. Saved the day! Thank you so much!

What's amazing about Shirley is how much she truly cares so much about her clients- both my husband and I could really feel that she treated our special day as if it was her own.

We gave her the very difficult task of planning & designing two weddings- one of which was for 800 guests! Through out the planning process, she was always accommodating and easy to communicate with. She took time to understand what both of our visions were and how we could bring it to life. The day of our wedding, she pulled everything together seamlessly. It's been a month and a half since we got married, and our guests still talk about how memorable everything was!!!!

My husband and I couldn't have asked for a better person to help us. THANK YOU SHIRLEY for our magical day!!!!

Shirley is amazing! I hired her to coordinate on the wedding day. She's immensely thorough and super detail-oriented. I wish I had hired her from the get-go, that would save me so much time and energy!

I simply can't say enough good thing about her. I'd recommend her to everyone who wants a peace of mind on your big day. You won't go wrong with her!

Shirley was a blessing to have as my wedding coordinator! We clicked right away when we first met. She really impressed me by her organization, flexibility, professionalism, everything!! She was very informative with a lot different thing's and for sure kept me calm on the wedding day. I'm so happy and glad I chose for our special day!!

Trust me, going with Genesis Wedding will be the best wedding planning decision you make, period! I knew from the beginning that I would want a day-of coordinator to make sure our wedding day goes smoothly. Unfortunately, Shirley was already booked for our date by the time I found Genesis, but we decided to go with Genesis anyway for the wedding design package which included stationery and reception decor. We seriously loved literally everything that Shirley & BK produced for us, and our guests raved about everything they did as well, not knowing that it was all Genesis' work. Compliments poured in months before our wedding about how unique and personalized our invitations were, and we're still hearing about how impressed our guests were when they saw our logo and theme tied into our beautiful reception decor. Every detail was absolutely perfect and we've received requests from our guests for referrals to Genesis. I think that alone speaks volumes about Genesis' work -- other people liked it so much, they want it for their own weddings!

Shirley truly goes above and beyond to make wedding planning easier on her brides and grooms. Even though we didn't hire Genesis for wedding planning, she gave us advice about our seating chart and table arrangements, and helped us with some questions we had about Chinese etiquette. Shirley even helped us look for chair cover rentals a couple weeks before our wedding when we realized the venue's chair covers wouldn't work. We ended up booking with a vendor that we found ourselves, and Shirley still generously offered to pick up and drop off the covers all the way in Brooklyn so that we would have one less thing to do before the wedding and could immediately go on our honeymoon.

Working with Shirley is more like working with a friend than a vendor. She really cared about making our day the best that it could be. My only regret is that I didn't find Genesis sooner, so that I could have had Shirley be our coordinator too!

They could fulfil your dream, the only thing you need is just speak out.

Working with Shirley was a great experience! We wanted to serve Chinese food family style for the main reception meal. Shirley contacted several restaurants, arranged multiple dinners and meetings, and helped us choose Fu Run. The whole experience went so smoothly and all of our friends and family raved about the delicious food.

The day of, Shirley did a great job of working with all of our vendors. We met a week in advance to review the day of plan and the list of vendors. She made sure to follow up and everyone arrived without any issues. She worked with everyone behind the scenes, so we could enjoy our day and spend extra time with our friends and family.

We feel so lucky to have found her! We highly recommend her to anyone who is planning a wedding in Flushing, Queens or the NYC-area.
