Excellent Wedding Planner

Sholeh was a blessing when it came to planning our wedding. Her planning documents were detailed and accurate. They served as the perfect “plan of action” guides…we knew what to do and when. She had recommendations and contact for all vendor needs. There were a few instances when my chosen vendors did not respond timely and she jumped right in to get the answers and confirmations I needed. She was a lifesaver the day of the wedding. She coordinated the setup at the chapel and reception site…I did not have to worry about a thing. Her “emergency kit” came in handy when we had tuxedo button and bustle issues. She was such a pleasure to work with and extremely professional yet personable and reliable. She helped make the planning less stressful and more exciting. Thank you so much Sholeh!

Simply The Best

Wherever you are on your checklist, the next thing you MUST do is book Sholeh as your coordinator/planner/life saver/therapist/best decision we made for our wedding. From the start, she had such a calm and positive energy that fit our vibe perfectly. She provided us with a boat load of tools and checklists from the day we signed our contract. Her network of contacts helped us form literally the Wedding Vendor Avengers. One example, our officiant fell ill ONE WEEK BEFORE THE WEDDING. Sholeh found our officiant within days who put together the most beautiful ceremony imaginable. Sholeh ran our rehearsal and stood in the doorway at the ceremony to ensure a seamless processional. She was a seamstress, an interior decorator, performed crowd control, you name it. Literally, I couldn't tell you what went wrong at my wedding. If anything happened, she took care of it and still hasn't told me. We are grateful beyond words and cannot recommend her enough. Ali and Rob 9.5.25

Highly recommend!

Hiring Sholeh as the coordinator for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. She was so kind and organized, went through our plans to make sure we weren’t forgetting anything, gave advice on how to streamline issues, coordinated with our selected church, reception venue, and vendors, and helped with so many behind the scene details on the day, like helping the ring bearers and junior groomsmen with their boutonnières. When my bustle broke on the dance floor, Sholeh was prepared with her wedding kit and she immediately fixed it so I could keep celebrating without stress. She kept an eye on our gifts and cards too, and even secretly helped my family plan a dance floor surprise for us! Her professionalism and calm presence helped our day flow perfectly and we were able to fully enjoy every moment. Highly recommend working with Sholeh to make your special day run smoothly!

Sholeh Is the Best of the Best

If there is one decision you must make for your wedding, you must hire Sholeh as your wedding planner or coordinator. Sholeh is everything that every good planner should be. She is organized, thoughtful, flexible, down-to-earth, detail oriented, solution oriented, and extremely kind. She was recommended to us by our wedding venue and to say we were not disappointed would be the understatement of the century. Initially, we hired Sholeh for half-day coordination services, and planned to have the in-house reception planner handle the remainder of the day. But when the venue coordinator fell through, we immediately called Sholeh in a panic and she said, "Don't worry, consider me your full-day coordinator now." She hardly even charged us a substantial upcharge for planning the entire day. On the day of the wedding, she truly felt like family. She arrived on-time, with her wagon full of supplies, ready and eager to help. She made sure everyone was fed, went out of her way to spend quality time with the mother of the bride and bride's sister, and executed every detail to perfection. She even sewed one of the groom's cousins back into her dress at the reception. Sholeh is a dream come true. We could truly write pages about how wonderful she truly is. Believe us when we say that you must must must hire Sholeh!

Amazing addition to your wedding

There are no words to say just how helpful Sholeh was during our planning process and day of. The eight months leading up the wedding- we met with her regularly. She kept us on track to the point that we genuinely were never stressed about the process and were able to really enjoy our engagement. She was so communicative to all of our vendors and was able to really bring our vision to life. Sholeh has great industry knowledge and will be able to guide any couple to make their dream day come true. As the wedding got closer, she was able to hop on calls, answer texts and provide help as we needed it. We had the inevitable hiccups leading up to our day (in relation to other vendors), but still we were able to problem solve instead of stress with the help of Sholeh.Most importantly, she is so kind and supportive during the process. Could not recommend her enough.

Amazing Coordinator!

Wow, Sholeh completely exceeded our expectations! I felt pretty good about planning the wedding and just wanted some help on the day of so I didn't have to deal with the small things, but now I can't imagine getting through the wedding without her. From our first correspondence, Sholeh was so helpful, responsive, professional, and just generally a kind human being. Always 5-10 minutes early to everything! She made sure the wedding went off without a hitch and even accommodated a last minute change to move a table to make the dance floor bigger no problem. If there were any issues behind the scenes, I never knew because she just handled it. What a pro. I can't recommend her enough and so happy I stumbled across her on wedding wire. Worth every penny!

Stop your search - hire Sholeh!

From the moment I met Sholeh, I knew I didn’t have to interview anyone else. She is so personable, professional and made wedding planning a breeze. I hired her as my day of coordinator, but she went above and beyond that. She was always available to answer my questions, big or small via email, phone or text and this was months before the wedding! She was extremely organized, provided excellent advice, input and recommendations that made me (and my mom) feel at total ease. She led the rehearsal at the church and made my very large bridal party (8 bridesmaids) and family feel completely comfortable and ready for the next day. The day of the wedding was flawless! From coordinating with my all of my vendors, to setting up the church and reception (even better than I imagined), to timing my first look, to dealing with guests who arrived 2 hours early to the reception she was on top of everything. She was always smiling and willing to help everyone throughout the night. She stayed until the very end and helped my family load all of our gifts/decor into the car - completely above and beyond. I would highly recommend Sholeh – she feels like more of a friend through the entire process and treats your wedding as if it’s her own.

An Exceptional Coordinator

Sholeh Munion is an exceptional coordinator. She is professional and punctual. She is extraordinarily kind and understanding. She assisted with my wedding to ensure that it ran efficiently and despite the unconventional plans for our day. My singular request was that our wedding timeline run on schedule, and Sholeh ensured that she negotiate with the event space staff and other wedding vendors to keep everything moving in a timely fashion. Sholeh, additionally, met with me several times to ensure that she had a clear understanding of my vision at times and in locations that were most convenient for my schedule during the planning process. She responded to to any concerns I had promptly; I don't believe I ever waited beyond a day for a reply message. She exceeded her contracted duties several times throughout the evening by assisting in an unusual role when one of my vendors abandoned the wedding without communicating with me, my husband, or Sholeh. Sholeh was very good about handling unexpected circumstances, and endeavored to shield me from a majority of the inconveniences of the day so I was able to enjoy my day with my family and friends. With nearly 250 guests in attendance, her assistance was invaluable. I cannot imagine having such a successful wedding without her support. I give her the highest praise, and would encourage anyone seeking an event coordinator to consider the incredible skill of Sholeh Munion.

Couldn't have done it without Sholeh!!

We were so lucky to have been referred to Sholeh when we were looking for our Day of Coordinator. She was much more! She started helping us at least three weeks before our downtown wedding of 250 people. She was thorough with creating our timeline, having a great vendor reference list, overseeing having things made for us, and putting us at ease with the final prep. On the day before and day of, she covered all the bases and more! She is gracious, creative, and experienced!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
