About

My story began 17 years ago, when I took on the role of wedding planner and decorator for my brother’s wedding. On top of the challenge itself, I had to work remotely in New York City (where I was living at the time), while my brother was living in Trinidad.

Despite the thousands of miles separating me from my brother and soon-to-be sister-in-law, I was able to successfully coordinate and plan every last detail of their big day. My work left a lasting impression on not only the bride and groom, but also on the hundreds of guests who attended the wedding.

Word spread quickly about the phenomenal event, leading to rave reviews from not only friends and family, but also the local Trinidadian talk show “Community Dateline.” My career as a wedding planner and decorator was officially born.

I have a unique background that has shaped me into the wedding planner and decorator I am today. Born and raised on the island nation of Trinidad, I came to the United States to continue my education. While living in New York City, I worked for major luxury retailers.During my time at Bergdorf Goodman, My exceptional customer service led to an impressive celebrity clientele.

Now residing in South Carolina, I have taken my prior luxury fashion retail experience and tailored it toward my career as a wedding planner and decorator. I currently operates my own wedding planning and decorating business,Platinum Label Weddings, in Columbia, South Carolina. I attributes much of my success to my attention to detail, allowing me to plan one-of-a-kind weddings. I ensures that the client always comes first, so listening is key for planning their special day. I believe every client deserves the height of customer service and professionalism. I continually creates a planning experience that caters to every aspect of the wedding process, giving the bride a day she and her guests will always remember.

I would recommend Platinum Label Weddings to anyone who is looking to create and plan their perfect wedding!

5 stars service

From the moment we met, it was clear that Shawn truly understood my style and vision. The way he decorated the venue was beyond my wildest dreams. Every detail was meticulously arranged, creating a magical atmosphere that left our guests in awe.
His organizational skills and attention to detail ensured that everything ran smoothly from start to finish.
What impressed me the most was his exceptional communication throughout the entire planning process. Shawn was proactive in keeping me updated, providing suggestions, and addressing any concerns I had. His prompt responses and clear instructions made me feel confident and at ease, knowing that he had everything under control.

Shawn's professionalism and dedication to making our wedding day perfect were truly remarkable. I cannot recommend him enough. If you're looking for a wedding coordinator who will go above and beyond to bring your vision to life and ensure a stress-free celebration, Shawn is the one you need. Thank you, Shawn, for making our wedding day truly unforgettable!

Made my Christmas Wedding Dream a Reality

What we loved about working with Platinum Label Weddings is that it never felt like a business transaction. Shawn made us feel comfortable right off the bat and understood exactly what we were looking for. Having a wedding right after Thanksgiving, we envisioned a beautiful, twinkly light, romantic Christmas theme, and that is exactly what we got and then some! The communication was top notch and the execution was spectacular. I can't recommend Platinum Label Weddings enough.

The BEST wedding planner in Columbia, SC…PERIOD

Shawn’s wedding planning services far exceeded my expectations. There is really no one who could’ve executed my vision for my wedding day better than he. I met Shawn at a bridal show and I knew I had to hire him because he offered free advice on how to approach vendors, which most planners do not do. Leading up to my wedding Shawn regularly contacted me and was only a text or call away if I needed him at any other time. Shawn was responsible for day-of coordinating, the decorations/design, and the florals. Shawn was there for me when I had to find a new venue due to COVID, and even assisted me with decorating my rehearsal dinner and wedding cake. I could go on and on about how awesome he is as a planner, but I’ll tell you this…If you want a wedding planner who is professional, well connected, and willing to go the extra mile for his brides, then Shawn is who you need to hire.

My review is limited since I didn’t get to work personally with Shawn. My review is based on the fact that he has taken time to help when he realized

Shawn was recommended by our venue contact person. Unfortunately he was already booked even more than a year out for our wedding date in June 2022. Even so, he has provided advice and suggestions for various vendors. When I mention to a vendor that Shawn recommended them, it is always met with positive comments about Shawn. He has never charged for the times I have called on him for his opinion. My only regret is that I don’t have him to plan my entire wedding.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
