Day of Coordination: For all of our planning services, work begins from the moment of hire. Day-of-coordination services are no exception! We'll talk many times before your wedding day to go over all of the details you've planned. In addition to creating a detailed day-of-timeline and coordinating with each of your vendors, we'll be alongside you on your big day. When your wedding day arrives, we will supervise and manage all of the little details. From vendor arrival and set up, cueing you for your walk down the aisle, to the clean-up of the reception, we'll be making sure your day goes smoothly. Management of a ceremony rehearsal, if desired, is also included in this package.

Partial Planning Package: Our Partial Planning package allows you to choose select elements of your wedding that you would like for us to research, recommend, and manage so you can spend more time on everything else. Examples of elements you may have us work on are: venue selection, rentals, catering, design, florals, entertainment, transportation, dessert buffets, photographer selection, hair and makeup selection, or the rehearsal dinner. We talk with you about what you're looking for from these vendors, your budget and style. We then set up a custom online, private wedding planning board. From there, we find you the perfect vendors to make your wedding exactly what you want it to be. This package also includes everything in the "Day of" Coordination package.

Full Planning & Design Package: With our Full Planning package, no detail or task is beyond our scope of services. We work with you from conception to execution to create the wedding you want. We start by talking with you about what you want for your big day, from budget to vendors, venue to getaway car, we figure out what personal details and meaningful moments you want to add to your wedding and we make that happen. Our Full Planning package includes use of a custom, online, private wedding planning board and a private visual planning board, plus everything in the "Day of" Coordination Package.

Wedding Design, without planning: Designed for the couple who want a fully realized and comprehensive wedding day design custom created for their day. During our design consultation, we'll learn more about your style (as individiduals and as a couple) to ultimately provide you with a full design brief detailing a unique custom color pallette, floral and decor concepts, signage suggestions based on your selected venue, floor plan ideas, escort/usher card ideas, favor concepts and timeline suggestions to achieve a personalized look and feel for your wedding day. Within two weeks after our consultation, you'll receive a comprehesive design brief detailing a plan for you to draw inspiration from and implement as you desire.

Floral Design & Decor: We offer wedding day florals custom created for your day! We work with you to develop designs that fit your budget, style and venue. From bouquets to centerpieces, from alters to entryways-- we make your wedding day shine!

Shelby literally made our wedding perfect

We used Shine Event Design for both our day of coordination and our florals, and I honestly believe that Shelby was the main reason our wedding went so well. From day one, she was so responsive and on top of things. We had a long initial consult where we discussed all things day-of coordination, and she immediately gave us recommendations for other vendors (who were all incredible). Many day-of coordinators won’t even start working with you until the month before your wedding, but Shelby was always available if we had a question or wanted to chat. She didn’t try to sell us on her specific design services, but once we started working with her for our planning, we knew she’d be perfect for florals and design too. She made our vision come to life, and was always considerate of budget. On the day of, she was ON TOP of it. We have no idea what was going on behind the scenes because she had taken care of everything - even down to making sure we had appetizers waiting for us when we went to sign our paperwork after the ceremony. We probably called her ten times in the week and a half before the wedding about various design and planning needs, and she was always on top of things, always responsive, and always so lovely. Seriously, HIRE SHELBY if you’re thinking about it! She’s the absolute best.

Shelby is amazing!

I cannot say enough about how wonderful Shelby at Shine Event Design is. She was generous with her time, patient with our questions and had a sense of humor and warmth throughout the entire process. Shelby is an absolute professional with exceptionally high EQ. We immediately felt at ease with her and trusted her instantaneously. My husband and I didn’t have a clear vision for what we wanted our wedding to look like going into planning, but Shelby quickly helped us put shape and structure to our special day. She had wonderful vendor recommendations and did a wonderful job with our floral too! My husband and I were thrilled with how our wedding turned out and we attribute so many of our positive feelings to Shelby. We don’t know how we got so lucky to work with her! You MUST hire her as your wedding planner.

Fantastic Wedding Planner & Florist

We would definitely recommend Shelby as your wedding planner & florist. She was experienced, well connected, patient, and fun to work with! She helped us navigate what we and our families wanted and was critical in communicating with our vendors on our behalf. Her floral team pulled off beautiful arrangements including going to over a dozen places to find a yellow orchid for the groom's boutonnière which had special significance to us. It was easy to coordinate and communicate with Shelby and used many of her vendor suggestions and were very pleased with the results!

Shine Events made our wedding the most memorable!

Shelby from Shine Events made our wedding dreams come true! She was so much more than a day-of coordinator, providing so much support before the event (she was always willing to jump on a quick zoom call to make sure we were aligned on things), and then was the first in and last out on wedding day. Shelby also was amazing at keeping in contact with our vendors and allowed us to be hands off during the wedding itself. We would wholeheartedly recommend Shelby for anyone who is looking for a coordinator.

Great Wedding Coordinator and Florist

We were glad hiring Shelby as our wedding coordinator. She was very responsive and we had few meeting when we really needed it. She was able to make things happened. We decided to go with her for our wedding florists too. She knew exactly what we were looking for. We were pleased with her work and absolutely recommending her service.

Thoughtful, responsive, personal event planning

My husband and I are so thankful that we worked with Shelby for our full wedding planning and for our wedding florals!! We messaged probably a dozen wedding planners to set up initial screening calls, and when Shelby responded within 15 minutes with detailed answers to our initial questions, we knew she would be the planner for us. She provided much needed insight into how to prioritize and how to make decisions, into excellent vendors to work with, and provided so much reassurance whenever we were stressed about one detail or another. She was always responsive and willing to set up calls and make sure things were on track. We worked together for over a year planning our wedding, and it was a wonderful experience. The day of our wedding went off without a hitch, and was so relaxing for both of us, and we have no doubt this is because of all our planning with Shelby and her hard work behind the scenes. We also LOVED our florals. She was able to take our fairly chaotic Pinterest board and turn it into a gorgeous, cohesive floral scheme that went perfectly with our overall decor and vibe. Shelby’s expertise and support are truly invaluable. We highly recommend Shelby!

Go hire Shine Event Design now! They are amazing!

Shelby from Shine Event Design was an amazing addition to our vendor team for our wedding! Not only was she our day of coordinator, but she did all of our florals too! We got so many compliments on the florals that we had at our wedding! The only direction we gave Shelby was "green and white" and she went for it! Our flowers were beautiful and perfect for our wedding!

Shelby was our day of coordinator, but she seriously was there throughout our full planning process! If we had a question, she was always there to answer it. She was so great day of the wedding and helped keep everyone on track the full day. I never felt stressed because I knew she had everything handled!

Thank you Shelby for all of your hard work! You are the best!

Kind, organized, and energetic!

Shelby was INCREDIBLE. Her genuine care helped us reduce stress as we planned our wedding, and her kind directness and great rapport with our other vendors ensured that the day went off smoothly! Could not have pulled off our day without her.

The best planner and team!

Shelby! Because of Covid 19, Shelby and I had to plan our wedding twice. New colors, new venue, new menu, everything was redone and it ended up being absolutely amazing and perfect. Shelby was available to answer all my questions, listen to me vent and help me get through all the ups and downs that came with not only planning a wedding, but also planning one during a worldwide pandemic, with none stop restrictions and closures.
I’m so grateful for all the help she provided and I couldn’t have done this without her.
Thank you Shelby.

Shelby is Great!

Shelby is wonderful! We selected the full planning service so she helped from start to finish. We were planning our wedding from the East Coast which is what prompted us to get a coordinator. The entire process could not have been easier. Shelby was incredibly easy to work with and was always willing to jump on the phone to chat. She created a detailed timeline for the year leading up to the big day so we knew when to get different vendors scheduled. Her recommendations for vendors were top notch, especially catering. She got a sense of who we were and the things we liked and tailored every recommendation accordingly - she’s never short on ideas. We were nervous about booking a venue without seeing it in person but Shelby gave us FaceTime tour of each venue we wanted to see and was very candid in her feedback of how the reception would work for each venue, given our high guest count. She was reasonable with helping us budget the reception and letting us know where we could cut costs. Overall we could not have been happier. We’ve heard planning a wedding was stressful but with Shelby, this was simply not the case. Everything was perfect. Despite all of our communications being long-distance, we were very comfortable with telling her what aspects of the planning process were confusing or stressing us out and she was always patient, understanding, and had solutions to everything. Our families afterwards told us they felt very lucky that they didn’t have to worry about a thing for our wedding day - thanks to her, they were able to enjoy the day to the fullest.

We also used Shelby for florals, and wow, everything was gorgeous. Neither of us had a super strong sense of what we wanted initially so Shelby started by laying out different possibilities and pointing out differences in various design styles that we wouldn’t have picked up on otherwise. She gave us some time to think about it and once again got a sense for what kind of designs we wanted. For this aspect, she helpfully laid out various options at different budget ranges. We loved everything about the design, which was beautiful, unique, and highlighted the best of the PNW. We highly recommend her!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
