How to even begin to capture how incredible Stephanie and her team were at making our wedding dreams come true?!?! We worked with Stephanie for over a year on planning every little detail–which was a lot of details because we planned a backyard wedding so didn’t have a traditional venue–and she remained on top of everything and every deadline so consistently. She understood our vision for an afternoon wedding right away, and helped us work with every vendor to make sure everyone was aligned on what we wanted and how to make it work on the day. She was always so responsive and warm even when we were asking a lot of her. And on our wedding weekend, she was unbelievably attentive and made everything run absolutely perfectly. Not a chair or flower was out of place, it was truly unbelievable. We would love to work with her again if we ever find an excuse to have another wedding-sized party…but for anyone having an actual wedding we highly recommend having Stephanie in your corner!!

Working with Stephanie and her team was truly one of the greatest decisions we made throughout our entire wedding process. From the moment we booked our venue, she was there every single step of the way, helping us shape our vision, choose the right vendors, and make decisions we felt confident in.

She went above and beyond in every possible way. She even came into NYC to help me design and finalize our table décor, which was such a lifesaver. She kept every vendor aligned, on time, and fully informed , something we never could’ve managed on our own. From coordinating hotels and guest accommodations to organizing transportation and keeping the weekend running smoothly, she handled every detail with so much care and professionalism.

Most importantly, she kept me sane. Truly. Knowing she was on top of everything allowed us to fully enjoy our weekend without stress.

Our wedding would not have been what it was without her. If you’re looking for someone who is organized, creative, calm, and incredibly supportive, look no further. We are so grateful for everything she did for us and cannot recommend her highly enough!!!

Stephanie was truly a joy to work with and thought of every detail when it came to our wedding weekend. Stephanie was proactive and kept us on track throughout the entire planning process, making all the stressful decision-making that much easier. On the day of our wedding, Stephanie and the SHG team took over all the little details and vendor management, which let us feel completely present and at ease on our special day. If you're looking for a wedding planner that is proactive, talented, and incredibly detail-oriented, you should absolutely consider Stephanie and SHG Event Planning. We cannot recommend her enough!!

Stephanie and Erin were amazing! My mom, my husband and I had been planning everything and were beginning to get overwhelmed and bringing SHG on to coordinate let us breathe a huge sigh of relief. They handled so many little details and last minute logistics with calm and care, leaving us free to actually enjoy our wedding! Everything went so beautifully and they were a joy to work with.

From the very beginning (as in our initial phone call), Stephanie was our guiding light through the entire wedding planning process. After just a couple of conversations, she had a clear understanding of our style, priorities, and overall vibe. She also recognized how overwhelming the process could be, especially for a more laid-back couple like us.

Stephanie made everything feel manageable by breaking things down into clear, actionable steps. When it came to choose vendors, we asked for a curated list of options in each category, and she delivered every time. The vendors we selected based on her recommendations, especially our band, photographer, and caterer, were beyond incredible. These are some of the most intimidating decisions to make for a wedding, and thanks to Stephanie, we felt confident every step of the way.

Throughout the process, she was patient, responsive, and always willing to help. She navigated communication with both of our families gracefully, and we always felt supported, whether by email, text, or a quick call.

As for the wedding weekend itself, we didn’t have to lift a finger. Stephanie flawlessly managed our welcome party and wedding day from start to finish, allowing us to be fully present and just enjoy every moment.

It felt sad to say goodbye once the wedding was over. Stephanie was such a big part of our lives for the better part of a year and we couldn't have asked for a better weekend celebrating our marriage with those we love most!

We found Stephanie through our friends who had worked with her for their wedding at Lion Rock Farm and we actually met her when we went to tour our venue at the beginning of our wedding planning process. She naturally put us at ease and was so well-versed in our venue that we knew she was the planner for us! We had a strong sense of what we wanted for our wedding but no idea how to achieve it so we relied heavily on Stephanie to keep us on task and on time in our planning while also leveraging her knowledge of the surrounding area and her strong relationship with vendors throughout the tri-state area. We definitely kept her on her toes by seeking out very specific items that fit our vision (namely lavender plates and decor!) and she handled every challenge we threw at her with ease, determination and positivity. Since LRF is such a blank slate venue we had many questions about what had worked in the past and what we could do to make our wedding unique and Stephanie always made herself available to us whenever we had just one more question. Our entire wedding weekend went off without a hitch—she and her staff handled everything so seamlessly and we can’t thank them enough for keeping things organized while we enjoyed time with our friends and family. My mom and I went into this wedding planning process very green and a bit overwhelmed with everything we needed to get done and throughout the process and even looking back now we always said/say that we simply couldn’t have done it without Stephanie. We whole-heartedly recommend SHG Event Planning and are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Stephanie on our special weekend! If you’re considering her for your big day, look no further—you’re in great hands.

Our wedding weekend was perfect due to Steph and her wonderful team. Would 100% recommend!

I cannot say enough good things about Stephanie. My daughter and I clicked with her immediately. Shes a fantastic listener, she heard what my daughter wanted for her day, and she executed it perfectly! Neither one of us would have changed a thing!! She was on top of everything!!! All of the vendors she suggested were also fantastic. The wedding was in lower Hudson valley, and we live in NJ, so her input was paramount! You will not be disappointed in Stephanie or her team!!!

Stephanie made our wedding planning a manageable and fun process. We planned two ceremonies in one day to celebrate our multicultural backgrounds, which Stephanie handled like a true professional. With many moving parts to our weekend, she laid out our day to help us conceptualize what was feasible. Many of our vendors also commented on how professional and detail-oriented Stephanie and her team were leading up to the event which speaks volumes. On the day of, Stephanie even jumped in to help with last-minute details like putting on my veil and steaming my dress. My parents were very involved in the planning process, and she was extremely responsive and a pleasure to work with for all of us. I cannot imagine my wedding experience without Stephanie and recommend her to anyone considering a planner!

Working with Stephanie made planning my wedding a breeze. She was very accomodating to all my questions and answered almost within minutes of any message I sent. She has great relationships with vendors allowing for a super smooth process. Despite downpours throughout my completely outdoor wedding, I didn't even blink an eye because I knew Stepahnie was handling everything. On my wedding day, all I had to do is enjoy it because Stephanie knew all our plans like the back of her hand. It was PERFECT.
