Sarah was amazing, she made our wedding day enjoyable, taking all the stress off our shoulders! She made our venue even more beautiful than what is already was. My husband and I agree, hiring Irie was the best money we spent with planning our wedding. Sarah is extremely personal and responsive with any concerns/questions. I would hire her a million times over.

Sarah and Shaunden were a dream to work with. From the first meet up, they were bursting with excitement over our vision, already brainstorming how to make it happen. They researched, emailed, called, collected proposals, and vetted every vendor before presenting us options. They handled all communication and coordination with vendors all the way up to the wedding day.

These two have such a feel for design. They used colors, textures, lighting, and accents to create the overall “modern boho, earthy vibe", we envisioned. They captured the very essence of our personalities, it was literally “so us!”

Our favorite part of the planning process was our dinner & drinks where we hung out for hours catching up and discussing wedding plans. We became genuine friends throughout our time working together. They were always a text or call away. Sarah even saved the day when 2 vendors backed out, due to covid, a week before the wedding. A situation that would have made any couple breakdown, Sarah was quick to suggest solutions and had everything back on track by the end of the day!! Everything they did was absolutely above and beyond. Everything they touched turned to gold. IRIE was worth every cent we spent.

If I had to describe Irie Event Design in one word, it would be visionary. Shaunden and Sarah are the reason why my wedding looked and felt exactly like my husband and I. I am a ‘day of’ wedding coordinator, and while I had the vision and design of my wedding in mind, I firmly believe that without Irie, it would have fallen flat.

Working with them to design and stage my wedding was like getting glasses! They listened to the vibes we wanted, and sharpened it until there was no explanation necessary. Guests arrived, and they just ‘got it.’ Many of the smaller details Shaunden and Sarah recommended on decor were the most raved about from my guests, and the big picture elements (I’m talking festival worthy lighting and sound cues, floor layout, and timing my day to ‘build’ the energy to the very last song) were executed flawlessly. From the strawberries and orange slices on my champagne glasses to curing a ceremony entrance worthy of a headliner, they delivered it all.

As a team, Shaunden and Sarah are so kind, and keep your happiness front and center. They are honest, helpful, and offered creative solutions that turn your wedding day pain points into your favorite moment of the day.

I cannot say THANK YOU enough to Irie, and I’m so honored to have been one of their first clients. If you want a wedding day that is authentically yours: Hire Irie Event Design.
