I brought on Shelli and her team (Anette worked on my event with Shelli) three weeks prior to the event date to take the role of 'Day of Coordinator'. We had our first face to face meeting five days prior to my wedding event at Copper River Country Club of 72 guests. I had FedEx-ed my smaller wedding props from NYC, everything arrived on time with Shelli and Anette wasting no time taking inventory of 'what goes where with what'.

Being a now naturalized New Yorker I am impressed to the level of professionalism and flexibility Shelli and her team has. The likes of her I scarcely see in the state of California. This devoted working mom did not let any of the many parts of my special day fall to the floor. Where there was my step-daughter passing out at the outdoor wedding ceremony, there was Shelli and Anette quickly helping with cold water and getting her promptly into the AC. There were so many small things that I thought were nailed down tight that did not turn out as planned the day of. Not to worry, Shelli and her team made something better out of a not-so-perfect situation.

I really appreciate the promptness in the AM Shelli had through the time working with her. My emails were answered quickly, phone calls when necessary and flexibility to fit me in between clients. Some people are rigid with their personal time, I felt that I was held efficiently and always with a 'yes' mentality. You can bet I am going to go out of my way to put on another event in the Central Valley just to have the pleasure of making my family smile and seeing an event extremely well pulled together yet again. Thank you Anette and Shelli, I couldn't have done it without you!

Shelli is FANTASTIC!!!!!! She made every effort to make our vision a reality for my mom's 70th surprise birthday party. She made throwing this birthday a snap. She did the WHOLE thing... we actually felt guilty for not even lifting a finger. But Shelli was there every step of the way, never forgetting a thing. People RAVED about the decorations, centerpieces, food.... it was a perfect event. And when we set a budget, she respected that budget and didn't try to push the limits to have us go out of our comfort zone. She made it look like we spent WAY more on the party than we actually did! Now that is talent! It is a no brainer that we will use Shelli again. She was worth every penny..... look no further... Shelli is the BEST planner in Fresno.... I know from experience!

These remarkable women created a weekend my husband and I will never forget. It's been over a week since our wedding and our guests can't stop talking about how much fun they had and how beautiful our event was! Trust me when I say that hiring these wedding planners is the best investment you will make to ensure that your wedding experience is flawless and unforgettable.

Mary and Shelli were there for us every step of the way, and went the extra mile on several occasions (negotiating our catering package, scheduling our food tasting, organizing our rehearsal, ordering tables/chairs/linens for our brunch the day after the wedding, etc.). They both have years of experience in this industry and have great relationships with the best vendors in town. And they truly listen to your requests and ideas. In our very first meeting, I mentioned how much I loved candles. Well as my Dad walked me down the aisle, I was almost burst into tears at how beautiful the ceremony was because they had candles EVERYWHERE!

If I had the chance to do it over again, I wouldn't change a thing. The peace of mind that you'll have on the day of your wedding knowing that everything is taken care of is priceless. I can truly say that I enjoyed every single moment of that day without ANY stress.

THANK YOU Velvet Society. Joseph and I are forever grateful for everything you did to make our wedding so wonderful!
