Absolutely wonderful!

Colleen is absolutely wonderful! She was a dream throughout our entire wedding planning process! She is always easy accessible and responds quickly to all messages. She is prepared for every meeting and has wonderful contacts in the wedding industry. She is professional, but also extremely personable. She cares about you as a couple, which I think is rare in this industry.

On the day of the wedding, all we did was show up and worry about getting married. She took care of every little and big detail, which allowed us to have a stress free, unforgettable day! All of the decor was absolutely beautiful thanks to her! She treated me, in particular, like I was her own daughter getting married, and that is something I’ll always be grateful for. She was hands down the best addition to our wedding planning and day of coordination team. I recommend her to anyone looking for someone to help make their big day everything they have ever dreamed of! We are beyond grateful for all she did for us 🤍

Wonderful !

Shindigs was wonderful to work with! Colleen is such a sweet and attentive person! She really cares about her brides and families and truly wants to create a perfect wedding! Colleen was on top of a situation with a vendor due to an unseen situation but she took care of it with out putting it on the bride or family! We would highly recommend Shindigs Event Planning!

The best!

I am so thankful for Colleen and everything she did to help my vision for my wedding come true. She was always willing and ready to help. She made us feel confident that we would not have to handle any issues on the day of the wedding, and she handled everything with a smile on her face. I would highly recommend Colleen!

Owner/Event Coordinator

I have over 20 years experience in corporate event planning but decided to do something I really love - WEDDINGS! I started my own company in 2019 and absolutely love what I do. I give my couples my undivided attention from the minute they hire me until everything is packed up in the wee hours of the morning the day after the wedding. I have worked with couples who want a big wedding with a small budget to those that prefer a smaller ceremony but with higher-end budget. I truly enjoy Day-of Coordination and offer much lower prices than my competitors.
