Michelle Sheppard and her team are truly a 10 out of 10. She was professional, incredibly knowledgeable, and had an amazing vision from start to finish. She exceeded every expectation and delivered the wedding of my dreams. I can’t wait to work with her again for future events.

Michelle planned my baby shower and I cannot recommend her enough!! She is amazing and takes care of everything A to Z!
She makes sure you’re calm and truly enjoy your event. We loved every minute of it!

As a family member helping coordinate my loved one’s wedding, I had a front-row seat to the whirlwind that is wedding day chaos, and let me just say, Michelle was extraordinary under pressure. She handled everything with such grace.

From the very start, she was calm, kind, and completely open to our ideas, never once pushing an agenda but instead working with us to bring the couple’s vision to life. Even more impressive, she did all of this while respecting the couple’s budget, stretching every dollar without sacrificing beauty or experience.

But what truly sets Michelle apart is her grace under pressure.

On the morning of the wedding, our florist ran hours late, with the ceremony site over an hour away and no flowers in sight. Michelle stayed composed, kept the bride blissfully unaware, and somehow still managed to have everything set up beautifully in time. When the fresh flowers finally arrived and were hung on the mirrored chuppah, the water began dripping everywhere. Michelle saw the problem, grabbed what she needed, and fixed it on the spot.

Then came a string of surprises:
• Tables for the food display were forgotten by the vendor, Michelle made a call and got them delivered just in time.
• Our pipe and drape tunnel blew over just minutes before guests were scheduled to walk through, Michelle handled it quickly, securing everything so it looked perfect.
• My electric car died and blocked the venue exit she coordinated a towing service.
• The champagne wasn’t glatt kosher, Michelle jumped into action and arranged an emergency delivery.

And I know there were likely dozens more fires she put out that we’ll never even know about because she handled it all so discreetly and professionally.

The most amazing part? The bride had no idea. She laughed, danced, soaked in every moment, and stayed completely present because Michelle made sure the stress never ever touched her.

If you’re looking for a wedding coordinator who is calm, creative, quick-thinking, and fiercely dedicated to making your day flawless, Michelle is the one. She didn’t just help us throw a wedding she gave our bride a gift: the freedom to fully enjoy the best day of her life.

Thank you, Michelle. We will never forget what you did for us.

With immense gratitude,
Monica Joanna Elnekaveh

If you are planning a wedding, the first thing you should do is hire Michelle. Investing in Michelle as a planner is the best wedding decision I made, truly. She is so professional, so on top of things and has such an elevated approach on how she does her work. Her design style and taste is just top notch. She provided us with all the tools we needed to make wedding planning easier, leaving no detail out. And on the day of the wedding, I had literally no worries, no concerns and if anything went wrong, I never knew about it! She made sure that everyone in my family and wedding party was well taken care of the entire time. So many guests told me they were impressed with her and her team.

Aside from her professionalism, Michelle is also just an amazing human being. She is thoughtful, transparent, fun and just a real genuine person that keeps it real with you. I clicked with her immediately and honestly felt sad that when the wedding was over because we didn’t chat any more! I feel so lucky to have met her. She went above and beyond for us to ensure we had the wedding of our dreams, and for that I am eternally grateful.

Your search for a wedding planner stops here, because Michelle is the GOAT.

Michelle is the most amazing wedding planner! My husband I had to move up our wedding date and Michelle made the process seamless. Her attention to detail is second to none. If anyone is in need of a wedding planner they need Michelle because she is the best wedding planner out there.

Michelle is really a cut above the rest. From the moment we signed the contract with her, we knew our wedding was in good hands. Not only is she responsive and so helpful in finding vendors that fit your style, but she is also incredibly caring. She executes on a level that makes you think she's planning her own wedding. Thats how much care in every detail she shows. Not only was the planning phase made a relief with her but the execution of the day made the madness a little less mad the day of. Constantly checking in with me and my Wife. Making sure we felt good throughout the day. Making sure WE ATE. She was all over it from start to finish. I couldnt be more grateful to Michelle for making the best day of my life execute so perfectly. Thank you Michelle for everything!!! :)

Michelle helped our vision come to life at our Fall wedding at the Ebell Club of Long Beach. We reached out to her due to her strong reputation and work ethic, and couldn't have imagined how wonderful she was going to be at every milestone! I don't say this lightly-- she truly helped us execute the wedding of our dreams, and not only helped with execution, but also with emotional support & guidance leading up to and during the event. Michelle, Kim and team were there to set up the most magical day for our friends and family, they had a solution ready for any last minute issue that came up, and most of all approached us with true kindness and compassion.

Michelle puts a lot of heart into her planning process- she is kind, supportive, and compassionate with couples knowing how stressful planning a wedding can be. Not only were so appreciative of her support, so many of our friends & family talked about how wonderful Michelle and her team had been to make the day truly remarkable. I will recommend Michelle with my eyes closed to anyone seeking event planning support and services!

Michelle was amazing, detailed, accommodating, and made our wedding perfect!

My experience with Michelle Sheppard Events was nothing short of incredible! From our initial consultation, I knew that Michelle was the perfect planner for me. I quickly took notice of her expertise, professionalism, and dedication within a few minutes of speaking with her. Michelle's calm demeanor and vast industry knowledge put me at ease, and her prompt email responses made me feel like I was her only client. On the wedding day, Michelle and her team went ABOVE AND BEYOND to ensure everything ran smoothly, keeping me calm and attending to every detail. She made sure my husband and I always had a drink in hand and also made sure to set aside a tray of appetizers during our photo session.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Michelle to anyone seeking a planner who truly CARES about her clients and has an eye for detail. She brings a wealth of knowledge and recommends AMAZING creatives to make your dream wedding a reality! Our wedding was beyond anything we could have imagined, and Michelle was the creative force behind it!

Do not hesitate to hire her! She is a beautiful human with a heart of gold!

Michelle and her team took our short timeline and created an amazing wedding for my wife and I. she made the planning process fun, and helped relieve our stress. She dealt with vendors, negotiated with vendors, and created a timeline everyone was able to follow perfectly. We highly recommend her. Thank you Michelle!
