The best of the best in event planning and design

The SHE team has an undeniable reputation for being the best of the best in event planning and design and I am forever grateful for the wedding they dreamed up for us.

I contacted SHE just 6 months from our wedding date, stressed and unhappy with the planning services we were experiencing elsewhere. I was connected with Lead Planner Sequoyah Davis (Q), and she immediately eased my worries as we aligned on a vision and path forward. Q got to work right away, doing damage control and drawing up a wedding design that only the incredibly talented SHE team could envision. We worked closely together the next few months, Q always bringing me into decisions but never making me feel overwhelmed or unsupported. It was so much fun to be immersed in the creative process and to see first-hand how these ladies curate actual magic. Q had so many new and original design ideas to elevate our day, from a custom DJ stage surround, epic floral design and lighting, an escort wall turned dessert wall, and so.much.more. Q partnered with an all-star team of vendors to turn whatever they touched into pure gold.

Needless to say, our wedding day went off without a hitch. Thanks to Q, I had zero nerves other than pure excitement to see how the vision came to life. The reception reveal quiet literally took my breathe away and I still cannot believe our day looked and felt LIKE THAT. Our guests were equally as blown away by the stunning design and overall wonderful evening. If anything went wrong, we had no idea because Q and Shayla coordinated all the behind the scenes. We were able to truly soak in all the wedding day goodness and have peace of mind knowing that SHE had it handled.

We are so thankful to Q for allowing us to have such beautiful, happy wedding day memories. We cannot recommend SHE enough and will certainly work with them again in the future.

Absolutely Amazing!

I found Shayla and her team after seeing the most amazing wedding she did on her Instagram! I instantly knew I had to have her help me plan and design my wedding. Throughout the whole process she went above and beyond in helping me find vendors, stay on schedule and bring my vision to life. I trusted Shayla completely and she blew my expectations out of the water! When I walked into the reception space, my jaw was on the floor. Our parents as well could not believe how elegant and beautiful the space was.

Shayla truly has an eye for design and the possibilities are endless when it comes to having your dream wedding. She is also the most professional, courteous and kind person to work with. She was always available for texts and calls and even though I knew she was busy she really makes you feel like her only client.

The day of my wedding could not have gone smoother, Shayla and her team handled everything and I was truly able to enjoy the day. I could not have planned this event without her and if you are debating hiring her team for your wedding I am here to tell you it is worth every cent! She really made the planning process so smooth and I could not have asked for a better experience from start to finish. Thank you to Shayla and her team!!!

Absolute excellence!

Where do you even begin trying to describe the excellence that is Shayla Hawkins and the SHE team? We immediately clicked upon our first meeting with Shayla. My now husband, who prior to the meeting didn’t think we needed a wedding planner, was immediately impressed by Shayla. She explained to us how she would help us through the entire process, from managing countless vendors, tracking our budget, and making it the most stylish event of our dreams.

We hired Shayla pre-COVID, and not only did she help and guide us through our postponement, but she ended up working with us for a total of 3 years to plan our wedding. To say that hiring her was one of the best decisions we made would be an understatement. She helped us step by step and guided us through the planning process, when we did not even know where to start . She helped us to hand pick vendors that matched our style and vision. We had countless vendor meetings with her, in which she made every decision and step easy. We went from being confused and overwhelmed, to actually enjoying the process. Shayla was in constant communication with us. We always felt as if we were her only clients, because of the amount of personalized attention we received.

Shayla literally took our dreams and made them into a reality. Our wedding was the best day of our lives, and the entire day was so stress free thanks to her and her team. My husband, family, and I were able to actually enjoy the day and live in the moment. We have received countless compliments and praise from our guests. She has the ability to take ideas and thoughts, elevate them to a new level, then execute them. Shayla would remember small details of things that I mentioned that I liked (string lights for example) and somehow find a way to incorporate them so beautifully into the wedding. Anyone who looks at photos of our wedding can see its beauty, but what isn't seen is the professionalism, organization, time, care, and effort that Shayla put into the day.

Working with Shayla was a blessing, and she truly turned into family for us. We can’t imagine the day without her and could not recommend her enough to any engaged couples looking to make their wedding spectacular, memorable and stress free.

Shayla is one of the sweetest event planners we work with. She is on time, got her Ipad ready and filled with all the information a vendor needs before our consultation with a bride. You know how nice that is? We can certainly prepare ourselves to help create the dream wedding a bride wants. Gives us time to come up with ideas to Wow her. Shayla come along with some ideas of her own and is very open to discussion about them. Many event planners plan your wedding and it's really their wedding and not yours. So give her call if you're looking for someone to take care of the most important day of your life!
