Shelby was the best!

We had two venues, one for the ceremony and another for the reception, and she made sure the whole day ran perfectly. She took care of details we never even thought of and made the whole process so stress-free. We couldn’t imagine our wedding without her. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a planner who goes above and beyond!

Could not be more grateful!

Shelby helped plan our wedding to PERFECTION! From numerous design (and design re-dos) to all of the logistics along the way. We were able to totally enjoy the ride of wedding planning and could not be more grateful!

Could not recommend Shelby enough!!

I could not recommend Shelby enough!! She is kind, confident, thorough, and very knowledgeable at her job. She had so much experience and perspective to share when talking through decisions with us, which was enormously helpful (especially when planning a destination wedding, where we were less familiar). She was so patient and communicative; always responsive and comforting to our hundreds of questions or concerns.

Shelby strategizes and executes well. She worked well with the other vendors and took on the bulk of the communication leading up to the wedding, which was so appreciated during this time. I always felt more calm and prepared after working with Shelby.

On our wedding day, I have no idea if anything went wrong -- it absolutely could have, but Shelby and April were so calm, organized, and positive, that I could not tell. Their skill allowed my family and I to focus on the celebration of the day without having to think about any details. Shelby and April even went out of their way to prepare taper candles, which are extremely tedious, so that my family did not have to.

I am so thankful that we were able to work with Shelby. She is clearly a pro at her job and is amazing to work with. Highly, highly recommend!!

Shelby is superb!

We worked with Shelby for final details coordination and had a great experience! It was so nice to have a true professional running things behind the scenes and helping us prep for the day. We spent 2 hours with Shelby going over all the last-minute details - some we hadn't yet thought of - and having her in our corner was so worth it. Our day went exactly as planned, and communication was great. As another plus, we hadn't visited our venue in person, but Shelby had done weddings there before, so it was super helpful to know she was familiar with everything. We didn't have to worry about anything, which was such a relief!

Perfect, Stress-Free Day!!!

Shelby and her team went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect. She asked all the right questions, and so many I hadn’t even considered to ensure we got exactly what we wanted. She worked directly with our vendors on coordination and scheduling and really made it so that we could relax and enjoy our day. I can’t possibly recommend her enough!

Shelby was a life-saver!

Cannot recommend Shelby's services enough! My wife and I routinely mention that hiring her was one of the best wedding decisions that we made throughout the process – we put a significant amount of effort into things ourselves, but Shelby's experience and significant knowledge of wedding logistics meant that she brought up questions/details that would never have occurred to us otherwise. She did a masterful job of working with all of our vendors (many of whom she had already worked with) and taking the details off of our plate entirely. Shelby played a massive role in making our wedding weekend exactly what we had hoped for.

Amazing decision to work with Shelby!

I knew from the start of our introductory conversation that Shelby was right for us. We had already selected our venue and date so I could answer those initial questions. When Shelby asked about aesthetic, design, or theme I paused. I laughed and said something like no drama or chaos, and a chill vibe - is that a design aesthetic? She heartily laughed then responded with a quip about human behavior, weddings, and, if necessary, the “mom voice”. In that moment I knew that I could be myself and our personalities worked well together; it would also complement my now husband’s personality as well. We could face the inevitable unknowns and chaos as a team.

Shelby proceeded to ask thoughtful questions to get to know us and understand our style. I was able to tell her more about what we didn’t like/want than what we did. Yet, she was able to suggest a vendor that wasn’t on my radar and perfect for us. By the end of our conversation, it was clear Shelby would introduce levity and humor to the experience (lots of it), expertly navigate our cast of characters (which she definitely did), and keep everything on track (and ahead of schedule when weather threatened).

We could not have anticipated how phenomenal Shelby would be the month leading up to our wedding. She far exceeded any expectation or thought we had about the experience. Before our month-out meeting, we shared our planning “binder” with Shelby.She reviewed it in advance of our meeting and arrived with excellent follow-up questions and suggestions. We included a fair number of DIY additions to the decor that came with some design ideas (from n00bs, to be clear), and Shelby was totally on board with making it work. It was important to us that the things we made be included, but she really pulled it all together in a way that worked. We were confident Shelby understood the “vision” and, if there were issues the day of, she would handle it with that vision in mind. We discussed all of the details, including the things we would need to figure out a few days before or the day of our wedding because of family health issues. Shelby was compassionate and supportive, and ready with plans A-Z for whatever happened. And, at the rehearsal, when there were several new ideas or suggestions for family needs, Shelby looked to me. I said that we’d proceed with the original plan and she moved us along to the next step. But, if needed, she was ready to step in and handle the moment. There were several moments throughout the rehearsal where I appreciated our visual check-in and unspoken alignment on how to handle the moment.

Shelby’s fantastic communication skills and calm approach really kicked in at this time, and she masterfully handled several challenges and concerns that arose with a vendor. One day a few weeks before the wedding when things started to go sideways with a vendor, my now husband commented “Shelby is already on it, as usual”. Shelby gifted us peace of mind and support when we really needed it.

Everything was exquisite the day of the wedding. When the curtains were pulled back in the ballroom, I was overcome with emotion. The room was enchanting, perfect. Shelby and her team attended to every detail and the execution exceeded anything we envisioned. We had a great time without a worry because Shelby was on it.

Shelby is as incredible a person as she is an event planner. Your day will be full of joy and happiness if you work with Shelby. We cannot recommend Shelby and Shelby Your Day Events enough.

Fantastic Wedding Planner

Shelby is a fantastic wedding planner. She helped us plan our wedding months in advance and was there for us during the month leading up to the wedding. She was able to wrangle vendors and ensure we could look forward to the big day without stress. Shelby is unflappable and able to solve complex problems on the fly. She left us feeling secure and enjoying the day with our friends and family. Ultimately, we had a beautiful wedding and couldn't be happier.
