The best decision I made for my wedding

Words cannot describe how amazing Shauna and her team are. The entire process was flawless and her communication is amazing. The moment I spoke with her I knew she was the one I wanted to handle our big day. She has amazing attention to detail and her style is just perfection. Throughout the 1+ year I worked with her leading up she was just so flexible and understanding. She doesn’t hesitate to be honest with you but she is 100% respectful of your vision for your wedding day. In the last month she took so much off my plate by executing vendor communication and payments allowing me to focus on the big day. Day of, she and her team executed the wedding of my literal dreams exactly how I envisioned it. Her vendor recommendations turned out to be the best vendor team I could’ve asked for. The day of my wedding was so smooth I truly don’t know what I would have done without her. I cannot recommend her and her team enough to handle your special day, it truly will be in good hands.

Like Family

Shauna felt like family from the moment we met her! She was so kind, attentive and intentional with every detail and she is an expert in all things you need to know as a bride. Whenever I needed her she was available and ready to answer my questions and I could trust that she would provide the most honest feedback even if it was something hard to hear. On the day of our wedding she handled everything and I didn’t have to stress the details at all. It could not have gone more perfect! The best decision we made in the planning process was having Shauna come along on this journey - she’s a complete angel :)

Shauna Is Everything You Could Need And More!

Shauna and her team make wedding planning look like a breeze! They provide a completely bespoke experience, tailored to your every wedding whim, with ease.

As every client has said: Shauna is a very calm and clear communicator (budget, logistics, design, schedule), an events expert (vendors, timeline, flow), a gifted planner (extremely organized, detail oriented, great foresight, highly adaptive) and a great listener.

We planned our wedding entirely remote from across the country and she kept us on track every step of the way to make our day exactly what he hoped: design details, guest correspondence, event menus, and everything logistics-related.

When it began pouring during our ceremony rehearsal and when the rehearsal dinner venue’s sprinklers started right before the event — Shauna was as cool as a cucumber and adapted quickly to ensure both hiccups were minor and didn’t affect our special weekend.

If you’re considering utilizing the premium of any/all of her packages, we absolutely recommend leaning in and making use of any service upgrade she offers — her expertise, day-of support, and budgeting abilities more than made for the cost of upgrading (in terms of actual dollars and potential headaches).

Thank you, Shauna and team, for giving us the best weekend! We had a unique vision for our wedding but you all made it a memory that we and our guests will always remember so fondly.

Hire Shauna!!!

We seriously can't thank Shauna enough for everything she did to help make our wedding on Bald Head go so smoothly. She's a freaking rockstar! I felt that the space between check in times, to do list, and calls that we had before the wedding were perfect for what needed to be done beforehand. She was always super easy to get a hold of, answered questions timely, and were super nice and helpful. One of the best parts of the wedding day was being able to spend the day with my mom/girls getting ready, taking photos, and not worrying about what was going on at the site because I knew she would have it handled. The timeline she created was so helpful for all of us to make sure everyone knew where they needed to be and when, and not having to stress about that made the day so much easier and more special. This is by far one of the best parts of having you Shauna on our team.

The BEST wedding planner!

Shauna is INCREDIBLE! She made our wedding beyond what we ever could have hoped for in every way, and it was a wedding our guests have all said they’ll remember as being very special. She made sure everything went off without a hitch and was flexible, coming up with creative solutions whenever we needed. She came up with a genius spot for our ceremony that was very unique and private, the decor was gorgeous, and the way the reception flowed even with some minor time changes was ideal. Both of us had no worries throughout the night because we knew she had it under control! All vendors that she recommended were excellent as well.

She was also very available leading up to wedding the day, keeping me on track and calm and helping me make decisions. Truly can't recommend her enough!
