A Dream Wedding Come True with Simply Stunning Events

From the moment we first met Shannon, we knew we were in exceptional hands. Bella Flora was our first vendor we booked and they had recommended Shannon as someone who was incredibly talented at planning and executing weddings and had an inside scoop on our wedding venue. Every ounce of Shannon’s energy went into making our day a dream come true. Shannon with Simply Stunning Events and her extraordinary attention to detail, creativity, and genuine passion for her craft allowed for our day to be as amazing as it was.

**Planning and Organization**

Shannon took the time to understand our vision and preferences, and then turned them into a beautifully orchestrated reality. Her meticulous planning and organization were evident from the start. She provided us with a comprehensive timeline and personalized materials for wedding day, schedules for individual groups (bridesmaids, groomsman, and our families) along with hotel fliers to ensure the guests were equally as well-informed and on track and every step of the way. Every meeting was productive, and every question we had was answered with patience and expertise. Shannon always went the extra mile to coordinate with all of our vendors and took so much off of my plate as a bride. She never hesitated when I needed to meet with her to chat about details or questions that I had approaching the big day. Her communication and attention to detail is one of the reasons Shannon shines in this space!

One of my biggest worries as a bride was being able to have my family enjoy their day without having “jobs” to run around and stress about. Shannon took every ounce of worry off my plate and my family’s by coordinating with the venue and having an assistant on the day of our wedding to help with everything! From big to small, Shannon helped with all the details to ensure our family could enjoy the day as much as we did!

**Creativity and Execution**

Shannon’s creativity is truly unparalleled. She was able to transform our venue into a breathtaking space that perfectly reflected our style and personality. The attention to detail was impeccable, from the stunning floral arrangements that aligned to my vision to the carefully curated décor that matched my vision and was communicated with our fantastic team at Bella Flora. Shannon and the Bella Flora team are a duo for the ages! If you have these two by your side, your wedding day will be nothing short of excellent and classy in every way! Shannon even went above and beyond to incorporate unique elements that made our wedding day feel deeply personal and memorable such as personalized bar signs, napkins, and more.

**Vendor Coordination**

One of the standout aspects of working with Shannon was her ability to coordinate with vendors. She has an extensive network of trusted professionals and skillfully managed relationships with everyone involved (families and vendors alike). This not only alleviated a significant amount of stress but also ensured that everything ran smoothly on the big day.

**Problem-Solving and Flexibility**

Even with the best planning, unexpected issues can arise, and this is where Shannon truly shined. Her problem-solving skills and calm demeanor were invaluable when a minor hiccup occurred. She handled everything with grace and efficiency, allowing us to enjoy our day without any worry. She put the bride and groom in mind when making decisions and truly wanted us to enjoy our day without any worries in the world. Because of her- we were able to do just that!


**Final Thoughts**

Choosing Shannon as our wedding planner was one of the BEST decisions we made. She turned our vision into a flawless reality and made the entire experience enjoyable and memorable. If you're looking for a wedding planner who will go above and beyond to make your special day perfect, look no further than Shannon. She is a true professional, and her dedication and expertise are second to none. Thank you, Shannon, for making our wedding day absolutely magical!

Absolutely Fabulous Wedding!

Shannon was highly professional from A to Z! I chose to work with her because I was very impressed by her offering of clearly defined packages in her first message, and had no regrets. Her follow-through was better than I could have imagined! She was thoughtful and thorough, and it's clear that she absolutely loves her job. She made the process so easy and took a huge weight off of my shoulders. She's got great taste in decor and high quality vendor contacts. We served pizza, a bit unconventional, but she found a great solution to keep it warm during the reception. She does a great job of listening to clients' needs and she made sure we had a stress-free special day!

Look no further for a hassle-free wedding!!!

We LOVED working with Shannon!! Her hard-working personality and attention to detail made it so that we could enjoy each other’s company without having to worry about the million nuts and bolts that go into wedding planning! Shannon is pleasant, thorough, and diligent, and we truly couldn’t have achieved our dream wedding without her guidance, her knowledge, and her professionalism. Everything was perfect and we didn’t break a sweat due to her meticulous frame-working skills! We felt very involved with the process without doing any of the difficult tasks- it sounds too good to be true, but we mean it! That’s the experience you get. We couldn’t be more thankful or recommend Simply Stunning Events more! 🫶✨
