Great Job done

Working with Shelley was the best decision we ever made. We currently live in NY and we could have never created our dream wedding in Dennis MA. without her. She went over and beyond in so many ways. she nailed our ideas to the tee and it truly was a dream come true. We are so thankful we found Shelley.

We had a completely DIY wedding and everything was planned out with spreadsheets and detailed set up instructions for our friends. We had a tight budget and are very self sufficient. Then we worried - what if there was a snafu, who would keep track of timing, what about making sure loose ends were tied up at the end of the night? We didn't want to worry about these things - we wanted to have fun. And, at the last minute, we booked Shelley whose rate was exceptionally reasonable. She showed up smiling, ready to be put to work, and made our day SO PERFECT. We were able to soak up our family and friends and had zero worries. She is worth every cent and then much more. If you're thinking about a totally DIY wedding, book Shelley so you can actually enjoy the night.

Shelley has remarkable talent and amazing energy. She took my color choices and turned the ceremony and reception space in a wedding masterpiece. Amazing is not wonderful enough to describe Shelley and her team at Where The Magic Begins. As a bride I could tell the she loves what she does, which made me love our day even more.

If you want a flawless wedding, with a professional fun loving person, you should go to Shelley at Where The Magic begins. The best money we spent on our wedding was having Shelley as our Day of Planner. She wasn't just our day of planner she helped me when I was stressed, she came to our rehearsal dinner and went out of her way to work really hard the day of the wedding. Our wedding was perfect Thanks to Shelley. You will come to realize that all your hard work will be actualized by your vendors, so picking the right ones is very important. Shelley is the best of the BEST!

Shelley was absolutely amazing and the money we spent using her for our planner was the best money we spent on the whole wedding.. We instantly loved her when we did a phone interview-she totally understood our vision and carried it through perfectly. She was an amazing resource. We had a destination wedding and let Shelley to all the work-we had not been and did not go to Cape Cod until the wedding, so we trusted Shelley for everthing. From venue to catering to getting flowers from the farmers market. She was super organized and always on top of things. At our wedding weekend, she was amazing, unobstrusive and perfect. All our guest kept commenting on how unstressed we were-our response was- shelley is taking care of everything. We had her as the entire event planner/coordinator and she was worth every cent!!! We could not have been happier with her and recommend her to anyone and everyone!!

I cannot speak highly enough of the care and coordination that Shelly was able to provide for us on our wedding day. She put together so many details and made sure that the day and evening containued on in an effortless manner. Our day was amazing in everyway and know that without Where the Magic begins it would not have functioned the way it did. I cannot list the number of guest that were impressed by our planners ability to orchestrate the day and evening, and all comments on her personality reflect the truly amazing person she it.

The thought of having to plan and organize every detail of my wedding reception was intimidating. Then I discovered Where The Magic Begins. I knew after the first consultation that Shelley would help my fiance' and me coordinate the perfect reception, one that we could enjoy with peace of mind knowing that everything was under control. Shelley was extremely helpful and accessible throughout the planning process. She provided a detailed checklist personalized to our wedding needs. Her ideas made the reception site more beautiful and managed all of our vendors. The reception was perfect. Our guest had fun and most importantly, we were able to enjoy every minute of it without worrying about a thing.
