Best memory of my life

When I got in touch with Shining Time Wedding at the first time, I know nothing about wedding planning. Through all the communications with Rina, the lead planner at Shining Time, I can really say great things and how professional her team is. She is always ready to help and makes her available as soon as possible to listen to my thoughts and questions. The designer Shine got my vision right on the spot through the first design sketch. I was worried that my descriptions are too vague, but she nailed it! Their team was so attentive to every detail, and the wedding went smoothly while my husband and I were relaxed and enjoying the whole day! We got so many compliments on our decoration, especially they were amazed by the large handmade orchid at our ceremony, the shape, the color and the styling, everything was so perfect! All my guests had positive comments on their experience that day, and all of us had a great time! We are very fortunate and thankful to have met and worked with the Shining Time team on our dream wedding! Strongly recommended for sure!

The BEST wedding coordinator team

Rina and her team are the most wonderful people to work with. She is so responsive to every email and text, and is the friendliest person ever. We had MANY vendors at our wedding, and also got married in a downtown space, and she coordinated everything between all our vendors seamlessly to make sure they were able to get everything they needed in and out of our venue.

I appreciated how she understood the importance of balancing the family photos, while making sure everything got completed on time, and she was very successful with keeping us on schedule. I also appreciated how she found ways to give my husband and I time to sit back and enjoy our time and food at our wedding. Rina very clearly knows what she is doing, and she is amazing at it. Her and her team truly put 110% into what they do, and it really reflects in their work. They made our wedding so easy and stress-free, and we recommend them to any bride who needs a coordinator!

Rina made our vision come to life!

Rina was absolutely wonderful to work with throughout our entire wedding planning process. We had several Zoom calls leading up to the wedding, and I came to her with a lot of different ideas and inspiration photos. Somehow, she was able to see the common thread between everything I sent and thoughtfully create a cohesive theme that felt perfectly “us.” I was so impressed by her ability to take scattered ideas and turn them into a clear, beautiful vision.

She also did the floral design and killed it! The flowers were stunning, and friends and family are still commenting on how beautiful they were.

On the wedding day, I didn’t have to give her a single direction, she just handled everything. From coordinating vendors to keeping the timeline on track, she made sure everything ran smoothly so I could truly be present and enjoy the day.

An added bonus was that she speaks Mandarin, which meant she could communicate directly with my family without me having to translate. That alone took so much stress off my shoulders and allowed me to fully enjoy time with my loved ones.

We are so grateful for Rina and everything she did to make our wedding day seamless, beautiful, and unforgettable. I couldn’t recommend her more

Shining Time Wedding for the wedding of your dreams!

Shining Time Wedding was the most incredible planning/coordination and floral service we could have ever imagined for our wedding day. Rina was responsive from start to finish. From my initial contact, Rina developed a proposal for florals, and gave a full breakdown of coordination services. Throughout our 7 month engagement period, Shining Time was attentive, taking notes on our vision. On our wedding day, I did not worry about one thing because I knew everything was safe in Rina’s hands. Not only did I trust her with every detail, she made sure things ran smoothly, communicating with every vendor. And to top it off, the florals were exactly what I wanted. I sent Rina some inspiration, and the end product turned out better than I could have imagined. Overall, hiring Shining Time Wedding is a must for a seamless, beautiful wedding day for the ages.

Highly Recommend!

We booked Shining Time Wedding for floral design and planning/coordination for our wedding in October. From our first meeting with Shining Time Wedding, we knew we wanted to work with them. We appreciated the attention to detail, responsiveness, professionalism, kindness and excellent communication throughout the entire process.

Shining Time Wedding listened to our concerns and input and was able to put together an event that exceeded what we had even envisioned. We've received so many compliments regarding the florals and overall atmosphere of the event.

Shining Time Wedding worked with us to create a color palette and floral design that fit our vision and our budget. We opted for minimal, elegant ikebana-style floral arrangements. They created our centerpieces, arrangements for the gift and sweetheart tables as well as our bridal bouquet and the groom's boutonniere. Everything came out beautifully!

Utilizing a day-of-coordinator with Shining Time Wedding who helped with set up, managing the timeline and flow, and assisted as needed made such a difference. I felt like I actually had time to relax and enjoy the event rather than worrying and running around.

We would highly recommend Shining Time Wedding to all of our friends and family.

A Flawless Day Thanks to Shining Time Wedding

We couldn't recommend Shining Time Wedding enough! They handled both our Day of Coordination and all of our wedding floral arrangements, and they were phenomenal.

The coordination was seamless, ensuring the entire day ran smoothly and left me completely stress free. The flowers were absolutely stunning—everything looked beautiful! We received so many compliments from our guests on both the perfect execution and the gorgeous floral design.

Wonderful wedding coordinator and florist!

We were so pleased with the work that Shining Time did for our wedding (both month-of-coordinator and flowers). The flowers were amazing - so beautiful! I just told Rina what my inspiration was (and sent her some photos of centerpieces from their website) and the result was wonderful! They looked like they were right out of an English garden! We did not want to spend too much on flowers and she kept everything within our budget, and she repurposed the large ceremony flowers into the reception venue. I’m so pleased that we went with her services. Her work as the month-of-coordinator was great too. She was really easy to work with and made the day go smoothly! Rina came by the house the morning of the wedding to pick up last-minute decorations and dropped off the bouquets. She and her assistant made sure that the venue looked perfect!

More beautiful than we ever could have imagined

We worked with Shining Time Wedding for our wedding florals, and we were simply blown away with our experience. Throughout the entire process, Rina and Shawna at Shining Time were incredibly easy to work with, efficient, punctual, and offer competitive pricing with such a great value for the beautiful work they provide. Shawna came to my hotel room on my wedding day to deliver my bouquet and show me just how to hold it for photos. She also made us extra boutonnieres even though I only asked for one-- at no extra charge! Their design sense and ability to absolutely carry out our vision was unmatched. Thank you Shining Time!

Great Coordinator!

I worked with Rina as a month of coordinator for my wedding. She was very professional, kind, helpful and thoughtful. She was really good at running our rehearsal and making sure everything was going to run smooth! She was good at identifying things she thought needed to change as well as being able to make decisions in the moment based on other factors. Our wedding day ended up being extremely windy and she was able to move a lot of decor indoors and make sure it was still beautiful! She was great at making sure the other vendors knew what to do and when we left a few things at the venue by accident she grabbed them for us. She was helpful and reassuring on a day that felt so overwhelming. I highly recommend :)

A big thanks to Shining Time Wedding

I finally have time to share my wedding planning experience with Shining Time Wedding and their incredible floral designs. As a naturally anxious person who had only attended a few weddings in my life, I had no idea where to start planning my own. While many people told me a wedding planner wasn’t necessary, I just didn’t feel comfortable without one. A wedding is such an important milestone, and I didn’t want to take any chances.

A friend recommended Shining Time Wedding, and I began working with them a year before my wedding. From the start, they helped ease so much of my anxiety. They provided a list of venue suggestions, responded promptly to all my questions (no matter how stupid they seemed), and offered consistent support. Although I didn’t meet my wedding planner, Rina, in person until the wedding walkthrough, she was always available for Zoom meetings, even with her busy schedule. Rina frequently checked in on me, gave me helpful reminders and deadlines, and kept everything on track.

On the wedding day, Rina truly shined. She managed everything seamlessly, allowing me to fully enjoy the day without worrying about a thing. I was so busy, I didn’t even have time to think about potential problems, but Rina had everything under control. Everything went exactly as planned, meeting all my expectations. She even stayed late to help clean up without a single complaint.

As for the floral designs, I’ll admit I was a bit nervous at first. I’m pretty easygoing and didn’t want anything too fancy, but I still wanted the flowers to match the vision I had shared. On the big day, while the colors were slightly different from what I had envisioned, the overall design was absolutely stunning. The arrangements exceeded my expectations, with extra touches that truly elevated the look. I was a little sad I didn’t get to meet the floral team to thank them in person, but their work was phenomenal.

Both Shine and Rina worked incredibly hard to make my wedding day perfect for me and my husband. Thanks to them, the day went so smoothly, and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. My deepest appreciation goes to Shining Time Wedding. I highly recommend them to anyone planning their special day!
