Absolutely incredible

We cannot say enough amazing things about Connie and the incredible job she and her team did coordinating our wedding. We had a wedding of about 150 guests, which is a lot of moving pieces, people, and details to keep track of, but Connie made everything feel completely effortless. She handled everything with such calmness, professionalism, and confidence that we never felt overwhelmed by everything going on behind the scenes.

From the very beginning, Connie was caring, thoughtful, and incredibly considerate every step of the way. She genuinely cared about making sure our day was everything we wanted it to be, and she was always willing to help, answer questions, clarify details, and make sure we felt taken care of. You can certainly tell that Connie has been doing this for many, many years because her experience TRULY shows. She knows exactly what she is doing, she anticipates things before they even become an issue, and she has a way of making an incredibly busy wedding day look like an absolute breeze.

Our guests were absolutely blown away by Connie and her team and kept telling us throughout the night and even after the wedding how amazing she was. Our wedding party is still talking about what a fantastic, organized, and professional job she did. She was truly such a calming presence throughout the entire day, and knowing that she was handling everything allowed us to actually relax and enjoy our wedding instead of worrying about logistics.

We feel so blessed and honored that Raynorshine events was the coordinating our wedding day. We could not have asked for anyone better, and our day would not have been as perfect as it was without her. She went above and beyond in every way, and we are so incredibly grateful for everything she did for us.

If you are looking for someone who is experienced, caring, professional, organized, and genuinely invested in making your wedding day special, we cannot recommend Connie enough. She was absolutely phenomenal, and we will be forever grateful that she was such an important part of our wedding day! Thank goodness we found her!!

Best wedding planner ever

When I first met Connie, she just naturally brought a smile to my face. She was bright, enthusiastic, and so lovable! As the wedding became more imminent, she reached out and made sure I had everything I needed and more. Connie makes sure every need is met, the ones you know about, and the ones you don’t know about. She keeps track of everything and makes your vision for the wedding infinitely better. Every small detail of the wedding was executed perfectly to the point that I actually didn’t even step into the venue till I was walking down the altar and everything was set up so beautifully. Connie makes your dreams come true, she is literally the real life version of a fairy godmother ( just a lot younger and more beautiful haha) She was such a professional when it came to the entire process, but also so easy and fun to talk to. She understands your every need and question and goes above and beyond! I will recommend Connie to all my friends and family! She was such a joy to be around and really took the stress out of wedding planning. She is such a beautiful soul that you just wanna be friends with her, and I hope that although the wedding is over, I can still reach out and talk to her because that’s how loving and caring she is. If you’re here because you’re unsure, I’m telling you that making Connie your wedding planner is the move and that if you haven’t booked her, you should do so!! Much love and thanks to Connie and her entire team for making our wedding the best and giving us an unforgettable memory to cherish for the rest of our lives! We love you Connie!

Amazing and Awesome event planner!

Having Connie As the wedding coordinator for my daughter‘s wedding was such a wonderful Experience. We couldn’t have chosen a better Person for One of the most important events in my daughter‘s life. She worked with our daughter from the very beginning from the time she picked the venue all the way through to the very end of these days event the month prior to the event she spent a lot of time with Julia and took charge of everything. Every small detail was accounted for. Her attention to detail is nothing short of amazing and the day of the We knew we were in the best hands possible as she took complete charge of the entire day and was on top of every small detail. Even two days after the event, I was tying up loose ends, and she was incredibly responsive when I texted her answering all of my questions and helping me reach out to other vendors that I needed to follow up with. There isn’t enough room on the page to say how much we recommend her to anyone who has an An important event coming up. It could be a wedding, a retirement party, Or any other event, I extend my highest recommendation to choose Connie as your planner . she was reasonably priced and incredibly professional. I couldn’t imagine having anyone else!

Best Coordinator Ever!

Raynor Shine was the absolute best at my husband and I's wedding! Connie and her team absolutely know what they are doing and they not only helped me and my husband prepare for our wedding and make everything turn out so perfect, but it was also evident that Connie and her team can turn any situation into a magical experience! Even though the power went out at our wedding, Connie and her team worked with my vendors to ensure the night went so smoothly and our guest and us barely even noticed the power went out and it was just the best time! Connie is such a sweet woman and my husband and I were very blessed to have her as our coordinator! We would recommend this vendor to everyone in need of a coordinator!

She is a natural professional, organized leader, and bubbly personable organizer who offers all the help you will need.

Unbelievably AMAZING!

We had the absolute joy of working with Connie Raynor of Raynor Shine Events, LLC for our wedding—and we truly couldn’t have imagined a more perfect experience. From the very beginning, Connie listened with such care and intention, making sure every wish we had was not only honored but elevated. She brought our vision to life with warmth, precision, and a creative spark that made the day feel uniquely ours.

One of the most unforgettable moments? Connie arranged for a stunning 1967 convertible Corvette to be part of our celebration—a detail we dreamed of, and she made it happen with style and grace. It added such a personal, iconic touch to the day and made for some incredible memories and photos.
What stood out most was Connie’s ability to blend our ideas with her own brilliant touches—details we never would have thought of, but that made everything feel even more magical. Her thoughtfulness, professionalism, and genuine heart made the planning process feel effortless and joyful. Our families and guests were absolutely wowed, and we felt so supported every step of the way.

If you’re looking for someone who will treat your celebration like her own, who brings both expertise and soul to the table, Connie is it. Look no further! We’re endlessly grateful for you, Connie!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
