It is with immense pleasure and heartfelt gratitude that I write this glowing recommendation for Shannon at SES Events. From the moment we began planning our wedding, Shannon's exceptional expertise, dedication, and warmth shone through, transforming our special day into a truly magical and unforgettable experience. Brides working with Shannon will be the best decision you ever make!

Shannon’s meticulous attention to detail and creative vision ensured that every aspect of our wedding was nothing short of perfection. From the stunning floral arrangements to seamless coordination, she exceeded our expectations in every way. Shannon took the time to understand our unique style and preferences, infusing her professional insight to craft a celebration that was beautifully tailored to us.

One of the most remarkable qualities Shannon possesses is her ability to make the entire planning process stress-free and enjoyable. Her organizational skills and calm demeanor reassured us every step of the way, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the joy of the occasion without a single worry. She handled every challenge with grace and efficiency, ensuring that everything ran smoothly on the big day. This allowed us to fully enjoy the day because we could completely trust Shannon had it covered (and she did!!) This had a noticeable impact as countless family and friends congratulated me on being a "chill" bride again full credit to Shannon.

Beyond her exceptional skills as a wedding planner, Shannon is a genuinely wonderful person. Her friendly and approachable nature made working with her an absolute delight. She took the time to build a personal connection with us, and we are so grateful to now consider her a friend. Shannon’s warmth and positivity radiate in everything she does, making her an invaluable presence in the wedding planning process.

Thanks to Shannon and SES Events, our wedding day was a dream come true, filled with love, laughter, and so much FUN! We cannot recommend Shannon highly enough to anyone seeking a wedding planner who will go above and beyond to create a beautiful, perfect, and stress-free celebration. Thank you, Shannon, for making our wedding day everything we envisioned and more!

Hiring Shannon was the best decision I made throughout the wedding planning process! We hired her for day-of coordination and some help with details, and she was a powerhouse throughout the whole process. She was super professional, always available to answer questions, offer guidance, and genuinely made us feel so taken care of. She was also incredibly fun to work with! My biggest regret was not hiring her to do even more - she truly made the process so seamless and stress free. We had the absolute best wedding day and I credit most of that to Shannon! She totally took over all of our vendor communication, helped everyone stay on track, and helped put out fires that, frankly, I didn't even know about until after the fact (she's that good). All we had to do was get married and enjoy ourselves! Thank you again, Shannon & the entire team for everything!

Shannon was absolutely INCREDIBLE to work with. The best decision of my life was choosing to marry my husband; the second best decision was hiring her! I interviewed six other planners before hiring her, and I know 1000% I made the right decision. From the start, she was organized, efficient, and kept us on track. We're not from Newport, RI where our wedding was, so we wanted someone who knew the area and could recommend vendors. We had the BEST vendor team based on Shannon's recommendations and guidance. She was there for us every single step of the way - from the big decisions like DJ vs Band to the small ones like where to place the seating chart sign, she was on top of it all. When our printer missed a whole table of notes we'd written, she printed them out the night before - this is just one example of her making our wedding a seamless, magical experience for us. Also, just as importantly, she was a joy to work with. Before, during, and after our wedding, I was so happy she was the one who was there for us. Our parents both commented on how amazing she was, and our wedding party was so thankful they had her to go to. My one regret is that I only plan to get married once, so unfortunately, I won't have the chance to work with her again. THANK YOU SHANNON!

Shannon and her team are quite literally the BEST. She made my wedding day run smoothly, triaging problems that I didn't even know existed, and allowing me to enjoy my special day worry-free.
Even though we hired Shannon for day-of coordination, she made herself available to answer questions and support us months out. Over six months out from the wedding, she jumped in to help resolve issues with our hotel, and provided useful recommendations and tips that weren't even on our radar. Definitely above and beyond the call of duty! As we got closer to the wedding, she plugged in completely, and knew all of the details better than we knew them ourselves. Her helpful emails and check-ins ensured we stayed organized and on track in the final crunch weeks.
The real magic happened on the week and day of the wedding. We had a number of last minute guest changes, some that I wasn't even aware of until I was walking down the aisle! She took care of everything - Reorganizing seating and working with the caterer, so that everything was fixed before I even knew there was an issue. Throughout the night, she made sure our vendors were where they needed to be, things were running on time, and logistics were in play, allowing us to kick back, talk to our guests, and dance the night away. She also handled all of the set up and break down - Something that I surely would not have wanted to do, or had time to do!
We thought the prices were completely reasonable, and in reflecting on the wedding, have said that SES Events is the best money we spent all wedding. I would recommend Shannon and her team in a heartbeat.

Shannon is truly AMAZING! From the time we began with vendor recommendations to the day of coordination, Shannon was always on top of everything. Her ability to assist with a difficult situation was invaluable. She is responsive, detail-oriented and professional. She really cares about her couples and making their day perfect! The best decision we made was to work with Shannon, we cannot recommend her enough.

Shannon was amazing! From the very first call to the very end, she was on top of everything! We could not have done it without her! Shannon is very detailed oriented, able to communicate with all the vendors and always has a smile on her face. Thank you Shannon for all of your hard in making Maggie and Brandon's wedding a day to remember forever!

Shannon came highly recommended as someone who is easy to work with and very dependable and professional.

Early in our planning, Shannon put our concerns at ease, by reaching out for us with vendor recommendations and scheduling our timeline.

Throughout the process, all our questions and concerns were swiftly addressed and resolved with impressive results, and always followed by ‘..is there anything else you’d like me to do for you?’

Shannon kept us on task and on schedule every step of the way from our beginning ideas until the last glass was gathered after the reception.

We may not have been the easiest clients to work with (overtasking ourselves and missing deadlines), but Shannon picked up the pieces and tied up all our loose ends in an encouraging and friendly manner.

I have no reservations, whatsoever in recommending Shannon with the highest of regards.

I would recommend Shannon in any capacity to plan any event you may be hosting.

I really don't know how to begin to put into words what a godsend Shannon is. From the very minute we met, she had such a strong sense of calm, humor, and care. I knew we would be in great hands working together, but I really can't express how perfect our day was- all because of Shannon.

We selected Shannon's full planning package. She anticipated each and every step in our wedding planning process. She approached every person and situation with professionalism, from initial vendor quotes, to set up and breakdown the night of. Shannon kept us organized and on time, from budget tracking to timelines and checklists. Her time management and organization is bar none- and she makes it look second nature! She offered design suggestions and helped with our layout, but made sure we had input every step of the way to make our wedding day a true reflection of us.

She made sure we were able to be fully present and enjoy our day with family and friends, which was such a priceless gift. I am so happy planning our wedding brought Shannon to us- I will forever be thankful for her and think of her as a special, lifelong friend!

RUN don't walk to hire Shannon for your wedding day. We had the absolute pleasure of working with Shannon for our wedding on 9/9/2023. We hired Shannon for her Day of Coordinator package; however, she was so much more than a day-of- coordinator. From the minute we hired Shannon (about a year before our wedding) she made herself available to answer any of our questions. About three months before our big day, she was all ours :). We had several calls, a site visit, and many text messages leading up to the big day. Shannon handled everything from communication between my vendors (huge help having her take this off my plate, no bride wants to answer a million questions before their wedding day), managing our rehearsal, keeping my thoughts positive while the forecast showed nothing but rain for the day of, assistance with day-of set-up, day-of questions/headaches, ensuring everything ran on schedule, and most importantly, she was there to make sure my husband and I had the most amazing day. Plus, so much more! Shannon was such a delight to work with, we can't recommend her enough. I promise, this could be the best investment you make for your big day!

We cannot recommend Shannon and SES events enough. From picking our venue to helping us figure out our color scheme to making sure everything went perfectly the day of our wedding: Shannon was with us every step of the way and we owe so much credit to her for the perfect day that we had. Shannon is organized, professional, responsive, patient, kind, and a true expert at what she does.
