This was our families first wedding and Shelli took complete care of us. She made our ideas and hers come alive. Shelli is easy to talk too, she listens really well and gives great advice! Our wedding was absolutely beautiful from the flowy draping backdrop and chandelier at the alter to the gorgeous table settings to running to get Taco Bell for our die-hard guests to making sure everything ran smoothly!! We were able to totally enjoy every aspect of our daughters wedding knowing Shelli was taking care of all the details! We miss her already!

Shelli was absolutely amazing! I am an event planner for a living, so people were shocked to hear I had a wedding planner, but wedding planning is a COMPLETELY different ball game than other events and I wanted a serious pro to handle one of the most important days of my life!

Shelli is as genuine as they come, and our personalities totally matched up. She is creative, resourceful, smart, flexible, extremely professional and FUN! She had so many great ideas, and I had complete trust in her. She got everything done and the entire day and evening ran so smoothly!

It honestly felt like we were working with family, and that she honestly cared about Jeff and I, my family and our overall picture of what we wanted that day. If I had a fun and crazy idea, she ran with it! She embraces her clients ideas and provides additional thoughts and suggestions based on her own experience and creativity, that further enhance any original idea you may have come up with.

She is the BEST of the BEST! If you need a wedding planner, GO WITH SHELLI! If you need an event planner - for ANY event...GO WITH SHELLI! That should be her new slogan!

We love Shelli! :)

Shelli was very helpful and accommodating of my indecisiveness. I had a vision that I couldn't always verbally explain and she recreated my vision into a beautiful event my hubby and I were proud to call our wedding! I wish I could afford her expertise for all event planning! Maybe one day... Shelli obviously has great relationships with multiple vendors and I trusted her opinion 100%. Her assistant, Elizabeth, was also a gem to work with! Anytime I needed immediate assistance I could count on her to help me out, as Shelli is a very busy woman!

Shelli Armstrong Events is absolutely amazing! My husband and I initially thought we could plan our wedding on our own, since we are a very organized, goal-oriented duo. We quickly discovered that planning a wedding is a whole different ball game, and we wanted to plan the best wedding experience that followed our vision while enjoying the process. So we turned to Shelli! Over next the year of planning with Shelli, she was able to support our needs and develop our ideas into a comprehensive vision and design. She was able to connect us with vendors in Fresno and locally in the Bay Area. She supported meetings at the event site, catering, and floral design. We are a very hands-on couple, and did some of the leg work on our own with Shelli's supervision of the overall vision. We are often "get it done now" people, and occasionally were challenged by the wedding industry's timelines and waiting periods. Even though some of our questions were not answered immediately, we understood that Shelli had our best interest in mind and we would get our answers in a timely fashion. Shelli was able to take the tiniest details from linens, floral, lighting, music, table settings, and room arrangement and create our perfect wedding. We couldn't have survived without Shelli the day of the wedding. She was able to handle all of the last minute preparations and coordinate all of the vendors seamlessly. As the bride and groom, we were able to relax and enjoy our special day. We knew we didn't have to worry about any of the setup or production for the wedding, which was a huge relief. Shelli was calm, composed, professional, and personable throughout the day and evening as she guided us through our wedding ceremony and reception. Looking back, there isn't anything we would have changed about our special day. We are forever thankful to Shelli Armstrong Events for helping us create and execute the wedding of our dreams.

Where do I even begin with Shelli? She helped my now husband and I plan our Yosemite National Park dream wedding from 2000 miles away while we were both stationed in Tennessee with the Army. She scheduled Skype "dates" with us every month to discuss progress, get information, and tell us what else needed to be done. She was always on top of things and quickly got back to us with answers to all our questions. She offered us advice on vendors for photography, cake, flowers, DJ, and officiant selection and never pushed an agenda on us. She used her years of contacts to get us deals that we would never have been able to get on our own. We planned for about a year before our wedding. When the day arrived and all my bridesmaids and family were asking about how stressed I was, I had to be honest and tell them that I wasn't stressed at all! Shelli told me, my husband, my family, my bridal party, and my guests when to be where and it was all SO EASY. Shelli is SO fantastic and SO amazing at her job, I would recommend her to anyone. When she pulled us aside at the reception to tell us she was headed out, I actually cried because I felt like we had built such a relationship with her and she had done so much work to make our day special.

If you're thinking that a wedding planner is "not worth it" you are missing out! You can definitely do it on your own, but why add stress and angst when your day is supposed to be relaxing and wonderful. Shelli is worth WAY MORE than her weight in gold (I can say that because I think she survives on almonds and Dr. Pepper ;) and she will make your day... your event... your memories, like something you thought was only in your dreams :)

Hiring Shelli Armstrong Events was probably the smartest decision I made when I began the journey of wedding planning. I knew planning a wedding for over 400 guests would not be an easy task. Shelli Armstrong's industry knowledge, resourcefulness, creativity are unparalleled in the world of event planning. I highly recommend her to potential brides. My family and I were very pleased with the way my wedding turned out. It was a magical and unforgettable evening. Thank you Shelli and team.

I highly recommend Shelli Armstrong for any event you are hosting. My husband and I work full time and would never have been able to plan our wedding without Shelli. She was completely organized and handled every situation with ease... including ordering 20 umbrellas the morning of the wedding to make sure our guests would be supplied with enough shade for our hot September day. I heard a few stories about mishaps before the wedding, but Shelli put out every fire and my husband and I were not aware that anything was amiss. Shelli made our day perfect, magical and stress free. She even delivered our gifts to our home so we could open them the next day. If you are planning a large event, hiring Shelli Armstrong should be #1 on your "to do" list!

Shelli is not only an amazing wedding planner, but she is also an amazing person. The first time we met she got me and understood what I was about. She helped me plan my 450 person wedding in my parents backyard, and did a better job than I could have ever dreamed of. She was alway professional and dedicated to helping me with waterer I wanted/needed, even tho I changed my mind about certain decor more than a couple of times. She also has AMAZING vision and she will personalize the event to your personality. She defiantly can do more than just "cookie cutter" weddings. She knows all the right vendors to use and has great connections with all of them. But I have to say where Shelli really shines is about 2 weeks before the wedding. She was at my house, literally from sun up to sun down working so hard to make my dream wedding come true. She took initiative and made sure everything was perfect. Her staff is unbelievable and made sure nothing went wrong on my big day, and I could have had a lot go wrong on my wedding day, between the hanging cake and the plexiglass over the pool (which were her ideas). Shelli is just an amazing event planner and I would use her again and again!

Absolutely fabulous. Shelli and her team truly do handle every detail; from the invitations to the DJ to the wine. Shelli will save you countless hours searching for vendors on the internet and at bridal shows. She knows who will get the job done right and she coordinates and oversees them all. We were able to enjoy our wedding rather than stress over it.

Shelli has a wonderful support team who help with every detail. Her assistant, Sunny, was my personal assistant on my wedding day. She did all the details my friends couldn't do; fix me lunch, bring me water, gave reassuring pep talks, adjust my dress....after a vineyard photo session, she even washed my feet!

I couldn't recommend Shelli enough. She is professional and knows how to get the job done right. You will get the wedding of your dreams and won't have to stress over it!

Shelli Armstrong is not only a professional, she takes her events personally. Her passion for wedding planning allowed my son, Steven, and his bride, Theresa, to have the wedding of their dreams. The peace of mind that came with the planning and being able to enjoy the wedding day was priceless! I will forever be grateful for her guidance, follow through in everything she does, and her heartfelt friendship to make it a memorable day for our family. I am also grateful for her determination to provide the best service possible by having a highly qualified and professional staff along with having an excellent relationship with the best vendors in the area. Thank you, Shelli, for a beautiful beginning for the lives of Theresa and Steven, and our family!
