    Truly amazing

    ARay of Events made my wedding day completely stress-free. I can’t recommend them enough!! From beginning to end, I was able to be present in the day because I knew I had a team of people handling everything for me. From creating the timeline, communicating with vendors, keeping us on time, setting up and breaking down decor, and everything in between, I am so grateful for this company and their amazing impact they had on the special day! Thank you thank you thank you!!!

    Hire shauna & her team!

    Shauna and her team (shout out Taylor and Chris) were absolutely invaluable for our day. Shauna brought our vision to life when we changed venues (we switched from an outdoor venue to indoor - she was even able to source us trees at a reasonable price!)

    Shauna took the time to meet with us many times to make sure we had everything right. And when some things inevitably went sideways - out of her teams control (i.e. our bakery never made our sheet cakes/delivered them) - her team stepped up and figured out solutions. In fact, I didn't even know until a few days after our wedding!

    Shauna truly went out of her way to make sure no ask of ours was too big and on the day-of her team was there for anything us, or our families, needed. I could not recommend Shauna and her team more highly!

    Best Decision for Planning my Wedding!

    I used aRay of Events for wedding planning and worked with Kaitlin since I am from Southeast MO. She was the best!!!! From the beginning, Kaitlin helped me plan all the details and made every step of the process less stressful. She was so easy to work with. If I told her my idea, she would come back with options or vendors for me to choose from. She was able to use some of the resources from St. Louis that we do not have in SEMO. As far as the day of the wedding, everything was perfect!! Kaitlin and her team stayed late and set up the entire reception the night before. If there was any kind of hiccup the day of, she made sure it was taken care of and that I didn't have anything to worry about! Our wedding day was truly perfect and I don't think I could have put it all together without Kaitlin and her team. I highly recommend using aRay of Events!

    Best planner

    Shauna and her team made our day the perfect, less stressful time we could’ve ever hoped to have. From the beginning setting up venue tours, always being available to answer my numerous questions at any time and down to the week of preparation with lots of reminder emails. The day of went so smoothly we did not have to lift a finger to decorate any aspect of our ceremony, cocktail hour or reception and afterwards she had all of our decorations, gifts, cake all packaged up in our rooms. Her team was an absolutely necessity to have our day go so smooth especially in coordinating with our other vendors.

    Amazing experience!

    Shauna and her team were so sweet, helpful, and easy to work with! They went above and beyond to make everything beautiful and to keep the day running smoothly. Shauna volunteered to do extra things for us that we didn't even expect and played such a huge role in making our day special!

    A Fantastic Crew That Truly Cares About Their Customers

    Shauna and her team were fantastic throughout the entire process. Shauna was always so quick to respond to last minute questions, and made sure we were taken care of every step of the way. She was a huge part in what made our day so special, I would not hesitate to chose her again and again. Continuously throughout our reception, we had family and friends commenting on how well put together the decor was-- seriously cannot recommend her enough! Thank you aRay of Events!

    Absolutely amazing!

    They were amazing! Our 2 wedding cakes had to be picked up Saturday but our wedding was Sunday! So they picked them up, stored them Saturday and brought them to the wedding Sunday and they were perfect! They helped keep us on schedule the day of and helped were needed! I definitely reccomend!

    Keeping the Special day Special

    I highly encourage any couple that is tying the knot to book Shauna J! Wedding planning for over a year, we were stressed to the max until the day had finally arrived. Then the overwhelming feeling of excitement, anxiety, and confusion takes over when you both arrive at the venue to begin the day. She was very organized, thorough, kind, professional, and kept the event timeline moving along allowing for a handsfree experience on our wedding day. Not only did she focus on the task at hand of keeping the event on-track, but also assisted with chasing around our rambunctious toddler. She genuinely cares to make your day special and is very accommodating. I cannot express enough the necessity of her services if you want your special day to be SPECIAL.

    Bride and Groom

    I would highly recommend aRay of Events. They made the day of our wedding go flawlessly. My husband and I had no stress leading up to the wedding and day of knowing that the team of coordinators were there to help with any and everything.
    I would definitely say aRay of Events is a must have for your wedding. Definitely our best money spent.

    Highly Recommend!

    I truly cannot say enough great things about aRay of Events! Shauna, Meghan, and Sarah were such an amazing group to work with and made all of our wedding dreams come true! I highly recommend them—they will make your big day go so smooth!

    Having wedding experts at our ceremony made it go like clockwork, and I was so thankful we had someone there that knew when to direct people down the aisle, when to get everyone lined up, and to provide photography inspiration.

    My husband and I were super nervous about getting our greenery, vases, and floating candles set up (as well as other aspects of the reception), and aRay of Events took care of everything and made our reception venue look absolutely stunning. I’m pretty sure I screamed when I saw everything set up! It was everything I had envisioned and more! And, at the end of the night, they cleaned everything up and packed it up for us, so it was easy to transport the day after. It made enjoying our wedding night so much easier and took a ton of stress off our shoulders!

    Working with Shauna throughout the planning process was also great! I was very nervous in the months leading up to the wedding, and she would constantly reassure me and help my nerves. She gave me tons of lists and great information to help keep me on track throughout the planning process. She also helped me set up a timeline and answered all of the many questions I had. I felt very guided throughout this process, all while making sure our wedding had everything my husband and I wanted.

    Overall, my husband and I are so, so thankful for Shauna, Meghan, and Sarah, and we could not have had such a perfect day without them!! You will not regret hiring them to help with any event you’re planning!

    They made it a perfect day!

    Carrie and Courtney were amazing! We could not have done it without them. They really made our day so special and knew how to handle every possible situation to keep things running smoothly. The day went perfectly because of them! They were so nice and friendly. All of our friends and family complimented us on how professional and friendly they were.

    The perfect day

    Shauna and the ARay team was great to work with! They were flexible and were crucial to our wedding going the way we planned it. The venue and the rehearsal was perfectly displayed the way we talked about. The wedding ran incredibly smooth which is no easy task! We would definitely recommend ARay events for anyone looking for some help running, organizing, and coordinating their event! Thank you so much for helping make our day perfect and painless!

    Best coordinators to make your day happen!

    Carrie, Shauna and Meghan were wonderful to work with. I could not have pulled off the day of my wedding without them. They helped coordinate with all my vendors, did all the set up and take down, filled my drinks and made me a dinner plate so I was sure to eat. They cut the cake, pinned boutonnières, and gave me all kinds of advice and tips. The list goes on. They did anything I needed or asked. Very friendly and professional. I knew my day would be perfect and trusted they would pull it off, and they did. I highly recommend aRay of Events!

    Skilled, Affordable Day-Of-Wedding Coordinators

    We hired a day-of-coordinator from aRay of Events for our wedding and worked with Courtney (DOC) and Meghan (assistant). They were able to travel to Hermann, MO and Courtney even attended the rehearsal the day before. I cannot say enough good things about them. Everything went off without a hitch and I wasn't even aware of most of the set-up they were doing. I got so many compliments on how well planned my wedding was. We filled out a few google docs with details for what we expected on the day and had one quick zoom meeting a week prior to the wedding. They helped coordinate vendors, set-up decor, run the ceremony, remind us of vendor payments, and clean up after the reception. At my request, they even packed up my car at the end of the night with any take-home items, which was so awesome. They were 100% worth it and I definitely recommend hiring them.

    Beyond exceptional

    ARay of Events was amazing to work with. I was hesitant on if I needed a day of coordinator & I absolutely did. Shauna was there to answer all my questions leading up to the wedding & her team was there until the very end of the reception packing up all the decor, flowers, food & loading up anything else they could help with in the cars. Walking into the reception and seeing the final set up was more than I envisioned it could be, it was beautiful. I highly recommended ARay of Events. Thank you so much Shauna, Kaitlin & Janice!!

    Wedding Day went perfectly because of Shauna!

    I hired Shauna, owner of aRay of Events LLC, as a Day-Of Event Coordinator for my daughter's wedding. The day went perfectly! I don't know what we would have done without her. I was able to relax and enjoy the day. Shauna took care of set up, schedules, rehearsal, packing up at the end of the event, and many other little details I would have not thought of or forgotten. Highly recommend aRay of Events LLC!

    Made our wedding the BEST Day Ever

    Shauna went above and beyond as our day-of coordinator!
    She reached out to me several weeks prior to discuss the details of our wedding, we then spoke once on the phone, and then met briefly before the rehearsal. She took my plans and ran with them - making our event so much better than we could have ever imagined.
    Shauna is organized, professional, prepared and well-versed in what it takes to execute a perfect wedding day. She worked flawlessly with our venue and vendors. She conducted our wedding rehearsal in a relaxed and organized way, made sure everyone was where they needed to be and on time, set up our reception space, and kept the entire reception on timeline. She also oversaw the clean up and packing of our reception space.
    As a very busy couple, planning a semi-destination wedding with many loved ones traveling long distances to celebrate with us, we were definitely concerned about our details coming together the way we envisioned. Our biggest desire for the weekend was for everyone to be able to enjoy time with each other in a city we love. Shauna made this possible. We were able to enjoy our weekend and wedding day with complete peace of mind because of her expertise and professionalism.
    Dennis and I cannot say enough - Thank you!

    I'm So Glad I Didn't Skip a Coordinator

    We are so thankful we booked with aRay of Events! When we booked Day-Of Coordination I was pretty confident in my ability to execute the plans we put together but wow was I wrong. The aRay of Events team literally was a life saver, there is no way I could have done all the things they expedited: unpacking, decorating, liaison with vendors, coordinating ceremony, and packing up to make sure everything was accounted for. I don't think I would have been able to have a breather as it was quite a whirlwind, I'm glad I didn't allow my ego to prevent me from booking these amazing teammates. Thank you for making our big day run without a hiccup and if there was I didn't notice. Amazing investment. 5 stars. 10/10.

    Thanks for helping make my dream reality!

    I used ARay of Events for my wedding in September. I don’t know what I would’ve done without Shauna and her team! They truly helped the dream vision of my wedding come to life. They exceeded my expectations! She was very personable and timely. After my wedding, her and her team took gorgeous photos of the decor, this had me in awe as I can still relive the beauty of the wedding, daily. They helped everything run so smoothly and had no problem filling 333 vases full of water on top of setting up all the other decor in a tight timeline, as this is tedious. My wedding was more than I could have ever imagined thanks to this amazing company! I give them all the stars as I’m BEYOND THANKFUL FOR THEM.

    Awesome experience

    Shauna and her team were amazing! I was a little hesitant to spend money on a coordinator, but she was fabulous. She handled problems and family with kindness and ease. It made the day one where everyone could enjoy and celebrate!
