Above and Beyond

Shawn was an absolute joy to work with. My only regret is not hiring her sooner in the planning process. Shawn put us in touch with phenomenal vendors within our budget and handled all of the coordination, she made our wedding day such a breeze. She was incredibly responsive, organized, and so patient with us as we had so many questions. From possible rain on the wedding day to a caterer falling through due to an emergency, Shawn had several backup plans and even monitored the weather to the minute so I could have the ceremony outside. It was an immense help and relief to have such amazing support. I can't recommend Shawn enough.

Responsive, organized and thoughtful: Shawn is the best!

Shawn comes highly recommended. She was always incredibly responsive to emails and meeting requests, and provided a thoughtful, well-rounded perspective to questions we had. Throughout the planning process, I felt supported and confident that we were on schedule due to her regular check-ins. On our wedding day, if anything went wrong, I had no idea -- the sign of a great wedding planner! Our day was was everything I hoped for and more. I felt like I could fully experience and enjoy the day since I felt so confident with Shawn's tireless behind-the-scenes work. Thank you, Shawn, for helping our day feel so magical and easy!

Stress-Free Wedding, Amazing Service

Shawn was an absolutely wonderful resource that made our planning and wedding day itself feel totally stress-free, giving us the space to enjoy our day with no worries. She has a way of figuring out just what you need when you need it. Her knowledge of local businesses is outstanding, getting us in touch with venues, florists, caterers, photographers and clothing designers that fit our vision and our budget. Her ability to coordinate all of our vendors on the day of was invaluable for us, and the burden she removed throughout the whole process was a gift we can never thank her for enough. Absolutely recommended for any of your wedding needs!

Wedding planner extraordinaire!

As we started to plan my daughter’s Ithaca destination wedding, we knew we needed a knowledgeable, local wedding planner. One meeting with Shawn, and we knew she was the one! She helped us identify and vet numerous vendors and then helped us through the next 12+ months of decisions and coordination. She worked with our caterer, rental companies, venue, band, florist, and photographer to make sure everything went off just as planned. She even helped with some planning for the rehearsal and post wedding brunch. She thought of everything, making the wedding day go smoothly so the bride and MOB could relax and enjoy the event. Our guests raved about the entire weekend! Thank you Shawn, for your patience and guidance!

Fantastic Wedding Planner. Highly recommend!

We worked with Shawn for our wedding in July'24 in Ithaca and got the Full Planning package. Probably the best decision we made. Shawn was with us through every single vendor meeting. Our venue required that we hire all the vendors, including catering, DJ, photographer, makeup, hair etc., and I cannot imagine the nightmare it would have been without Shawn. She is a thorough professional and will also give her creative input in terms of design. On the wedding day we had the best time only because of all the planning we had been doing for a year with Shawn. Everything went seamlessly because of Shawn's efforts.

Flawless Planning, Unforgettable Wedding!

Shawn was an absolute dream to work with for our September 2024 wedding! From the start, she understood our vision and brought it to life with incredible attention to detail and flawless organization. She managed every detail seamlessly, handling any challenges with professionalism so we could truly enjoy the process.

On the big day, everything was perfect—the décor, the timeline, and the overall flow exceeded our expectations. If you're looking for a wedding planner who is creative, reliable, and a joy to work with, we can’t recommend Shawn enough. Thank you for making our day unforgettable!

Best Wedding Planner EVER

Shawn is the best and we literally couldn’t have had our wedding without her. She was communicative, gave amazing advice and guidance, and was instrumental in coordinating vendors and schedules. We planned our Ithaca wedding while living across the country so it was paramount that we had someone in the area whom we could trust and Shawn proved to be that person by consistently giving stellar recommendations for vendors from our beautiful flowers to our delicious catering (which we weren’t able to sample beforehand but proved to be a wedding day hit with our guests)! Shawn even helped us navigate some family tragedy leading up to the wedding with kindness and understanding. You wouldn’t be able to find a better wedding planner if you tried, trust me.

Great Wedding Planner

Shawn was wonderful working with. My daughter's wedding had 2 separate parties- the adult reception and a children's party. She was able to handle both.She also was able to handle the last minute change do to some unexpected rain of moving the cocktail hr inside. Our catering manager told us he would not have been able to handle if Shawn wasn't there. I highly recommend her!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
