    Look no further... Brooke is all you need!

    We hit the jackpot in finding Brooke! I hired Brooke Shehan Events to assist in the coordination of my daughter’s wedding. I wanted to be able to show up the day of, drink a mimosa, get my hair/makeup done and not worry about a thing and Brooke and her team certainly rose to the occasion. Just to be able to be present for my daughter's big day and not have to answer questions or worry about a thing meant more to me than I could ever express in this review. Brooke was knowledgeable, very responsive to all my emails leading up to the big day, calmed any anxiety I had and was an absolute pleasure to work with. I could not have made my daughter’s wedding “the wedding of her dreams” without Brooke and her team’s assistance and for that I am forever grateful.

    Brooke is phenomenal!!!!

    Brooke went above and beyond for my wife and I on our wedding day. As I’m sure many other husbands like myself, we weren’t too particular on our day, except to make our wife happy! Brooke took the stress and anxiety off of my wife and took care of everything. She often thought of things that we would not have until the last minute and just made our wedding experience that much more great and stress free!

    Wedding of our Dreams

    Our experience with Brooke and her team was nothing short of amazing! From our initial consultation to the day of our wedding, Brooke went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. It was easy to "pass the reins" to someone as caring, organized, and friendly as Brooke on our wedding day!

    You should hire Brooke!!

    We can not thank Brooke enough for the help she provided us for our wedding. Coordinating a wedding was much more stressful than we anticipated and Brooke really saved us. Our wedding was also completely off grid, in the middle of nowhere, with no cell service/plumbing/water so she jumped through a lot of hoops when it came to vendors and logistics. Brooke was absolutely worth it and I am so so glad we went with her!

    Absolutely Amazing!

    Brooke was such a delight to work with. She has some amazing vendor relationships. Brooke is attentive and very organized. I literally did not feel stressed the day of (and honestly the week leading up to) my wedding because I KNEW Brooke and her team had it down. I could not have asked for a better wedding planner!

    The QUEEN of wedding planning!!!

    You will not regret going with Brooke! She was super responsive and helpful throughout the entire process! She helped me in every area where I needed help (which was pretty much every area!). She took care of all the details so that on the day of my wedding, I truly could soak in every second of it and not have a care in the world. If I had a dollar for every time she thought of something important that I definitely would have forgotten about, I'd have over a 100 dollars by now!

    Brooke is amazing!

    Brooke was so wonderful to work with as our day of coordinator. She was very responsive and organized, and made all of our vendor management a breeze. She took care of all our wedding day details exactly as we discussed, and was so kind to work with. Would highly recommend!

    Brooke was such a key part of our wedding as a whole and it would not have been as amazing as it was without her!! She is SO organized and had every detail nailed down. She was very responsive and was on top of everything so I didn't have to worry about a thing! She is such a joy to work with and is such a kind person. Would work with her all over again!

    Amazing wedding coordinator!

    I cannot speak highly enough of Brooke! She was the absolute best wedding coordinator, and I don’t know what I would’ve done without her. My wedding day was absolutely perfect - she planned everything down to the minute and even helped to be a liaison between me and my other vendors. This is super helpful when you have a lot of vendors. Brooke is so kindhearted and helped to ease my nerves throughout the planning process. I could not recommend her more!!

    Over a year of planning!

    I can honestly say that I’ve been blessed to have Brooke as my wedding planner. My wedding day was an absolute dream. My wedding was planned over a year out and Brooke was there for me every step of the way! Her help and guidance took a lot of stress off me! (I have a super busy schedule) I’d strongly recommend Brooke to anyone. She is one of the sweetest and most polite human beings I’ve ever met.

    Best Wedding Decision We Made!


    The best decision we made for our June 2022 wedding was booking Brooke as our wedding coordinator! She was incredibly thorough and organized. There was so much I would have never known needed to be done that she took care of with ease. On the wedding day I knew all I had to do was get ready and have fun, there were no other tasks on my plate. I knew I could trust her completely that things would be done well. Many of our vendors told us what a good choice we had made in hiring Brooke, she is clearly well connected and well respected in the Shenandoah Valley wedding community. We are happy the wedding planning is over but a little sad we don't get to talk to Brooke anymore!

    The best wedding planner for a Type A bride!

    Our experience working with Brooke was the most perfect match. Being a huge planner myself, working with Brooke gave me reassurance that our most special day would be as seamless and beautiful as I had always imagined. She was attentive, detail oriented, and truly there to make our day everything we've always dreamed of and more. Would recommend 100%! :)

    best wedding decision we made

    Brooke was the best decision we made. As someone who only moved here to begin law school, I didn't know where to begin to plan a wedding. But Brooke is so knowledgable about the Lexington area and central Virginia, she helped us book our entire vendor team and helped us feel confident about each category of vendors. She is SUPER organized and on top of communication. Brooke created a detailed timeline to make sure the day went smoothly, a detailed budget to make sure we didn't miss a single payment. Don't know where to start with your seating chart? She has a template for that. Above all else, Brooke is such a kind and sweet person. At the end of it all, after the wedding day fades and you get back from your honeymoon, you will be left with a sweet friend.

    Simply The Best!

    Brooke Shehan is a wonderful wedding coordinator. She is kind, patient, thoughtful and incredibly responsive. She has great working relationships with many of the vendors and the venues in the area which is helpful in the planning process. Because she has worked with a number of vendors, she also can make great suggestions if needed. Brooke is thorough down to the last detail all the way through the planning process, which makes the wedding day run absolutely perfectly. She takes the time to understand exactly what you want your wedding day to look like and helps you achieve that vision. She goes above and beyond to make sure that the bride, groom and the families have the perfect day! Highly recommend Brooke for your wedding coordinator needs!

    Brooke - the absolute best out there!

    It was truly a pleasure to work with Brooke! She is sweet and bubbly and always made me feel confident that no matter what the wedding would be fabulous! She was incredibly responsive and worked so efficiently to lock in all the final details with my many vendors. We were so in sync throughout the process and it made it a truly enjoyable experience. She was always there, calmed my nerves, and was the most organized and hardworking wedding planner out there! I highly recommend Brooke Shehan Events!

    A Dream Come True

    Brooke was the best part about the best day of our lives. She was not only our wedding planner but has become a friend. She is one of the most professional and loving people I have ever met. She made sure our wedding was organized and brought my wedding vision to life. 10/10 Recommend.

    The Absolute BEST

    If the universe is able to work it out so that Brooke is your wedding planner, consider yourself blessed beyond words. There’s no other way to describe how my husband and I feel about our experience with Brooke. They say that only a spare amount of people in this world find a profession that was truly meant for them, and I mean it with every fiber of my being when I say that Brooke has found hers. Brooke was of course incredibly professional, timely, organized, has well-established connections with any vendor you could ever need, and so much more, but what truly sets Brooke apart for me is her uncanny ability to make you and your partner feel warm, loved, appreciated, and excited to share in this special planning time. It’s an ability that can’t be taught, and deserves to be recognized on the highest level. She is able to smooth out any bump with grace, and she’s the most supportive, and kind planner I could ever imagine. I can see her pulling any and every wedding dream into fruition without fault or fail for all couples. If you’re able to plan with Brooke, rest easy knowing that you have the BEST planner in the business, and all of your wedding dreams will come true. Ours was an absolute perfect day down to the last detail, and I know in my heart that the cause was due to her abilities.

    Lexington wedding expert!

    Being newcomers to Lexington, with the wedding at The Seclusion, we needed local help to select and manage wedding vendors. Brooke was recommended by several of our initial contacts, and we knew at the first meeting that she was the right choice. Very personable, a good listener, proactive, and kept us organized and informed. She and her team had us prepared for every move on wedding day, and table decorations were exquisitely done. They also stayed late after the wedding to break down and pack up. We thank Brooke for making our daughter's wedding day perfect!

    Brooke is simply the best- our best wedding planning decision was hiring BSE!

    If you're wondering whether to hire a wedding planner, do yourself the BIGGEST favor, and have Brooke and her team at BSE join your wedding vendor lineup! We worked with Brooke to plan both our smaller wedding last year during the height of the pandemic, and our larger celebration a year later in October 2021, and simply put, Brooke is absolutely the best. Planning and re-planning two wedding celebrations during a pandemic has it's fair share of unknowns, yet every time we spoke from Brooke, her calmness, attention to detail, guidance, and deep compassion assured us we were in the best of hands with someone that truly cared about us and our vision for our celebrations. After planning two events with BSE, we can say with confidence and sincerity, Brooke and the team at BSE are truly fabulous. Brooke's incredible professionalism, empathy, and wisdom is unmatched, and we'd enthusiastically and without hesitation, recommend Brooke Shehan Events to any couple looking for a wedding planner! To answering all of our emails, providing seamless flexibility, quality vendor recommendations, and assistance during day-of-coordination, our experience was incredible. Brooke puts her whole heart into her work, and sincerely cares about the couples she works alongside-we're so glad we got the privilege of working with BSE for both of our events! We're only sad that we don't have another event to plan, since it means our time working with BSE is coming to a close-but we'll be sure to stay in touch with Brooke, as we feel like we've gained a dear friend along the way. Brooke, we can't say thank you enough--but for now, at least once more: thank you such a wonderful experience with BSE.

    September 2021 Wedding

    Brooke was the MOST amazing wedding planner and coordinator in the whole world! From our first email correspondence, I knew she was going to be wonderful - going above and beyond to make my dream wedding a reality! We met multiple times and each time, she was prepared to discuss any and all topics, and I left each meeting feeling so much better! Besides her amazing coordination and planning work, Brooke is genuinely one of the nicest people in the world! I am so, so lucky to call her my friend! I am in grad school and working full time and I can say with 100% confidence, that I could not have planned my wedding without her! If I could give her 20 stars I would because she deserves it! Thank you, Brooke, for being the most amazing wedding planner!!

    The girl who became a close friend

    From the moment Brooke and I met I knew she was the one to help me plan my wedding. Her and i share A LOT of the same characteristics and qualities. She is just as detailed oriented as me, works extremely hard & LOVES PINK. I planned a wedding while building a home and graduating from nursing school and I truly give Brooke all the credit for making my wedding possible. She is on top of it and let’s not a single detail fall through. I cannot thank Brooke enough & express how much I appreciate her. She will forever be a great friend of mine.

    Brooke is an absolute angel sent from the bridal Gods

    If I could give Brooke 10 stars I would! We are a little over halfway to the wedding with just four months to go and I cannot put into words how amazing she has been! From losing my father to COVID 2020 has NOT been what I always dreamed my wedding year would be but Brooke has helped keep me sane and on track the whole way. She has gone above and beyond, listened to me vent, calmed me, but mostly she has truly made me feel like I was cared for. The worst thing you can say to a bride that has faced or may face rescheduling and changes in plans due to COVID is "everyone is going through the same thing" it just makes us feel awful and like our feelings don't matter because others have to go through this too. Brooke has NEVER made me feel this way. Every time I talk with her I feel as if I am her only client (which I am certainly not) and I have her complete attention and dedication towards making sure my fiance and I feel special and our wedding is everything that we ever wanted it to be. Choosing to have Brooke as our planner was one of the best decisions we could have made for our wedding and I would recommend her over and over again to anyone who will listen to me! She is fabulous, she is SO prompt, she is incredibly sweet, she is the most perfect planner out there!

    Please Hire Brooke!! She is AMAZING!!

    Brooke is absolutely a JOY to work with!! I cannot say enough good things about Brooke Shehan Events! We hired Brooke as our planner for our June 4th, 2021 wedding at The Seclusion in Lexington, VA and I can honestly say it was the BEST decision we made for our wedding! Brooke is not only a great wedding planner who truly cares about your wedding vision, but also a great friend who just wants her brides to be happy. I had a very specific vision for my whimsical garden wedding and she went above and beyond to make that dream a reality! Even though we were planning the wedding during Covid, I always felt confident everything was going to work out great because Brooke was so on top of everything and her communication was fantastic. She also put together a great vendor team and we enjoyed working with all of them. On the day of the wedding everything ran so smoothly and looked BEAUTIFUL! I am so greatful we found Brooke and for all of her help thoughout the wedding planning process! Please hire Brooke you wont regret it!!

    The best wedding planner in existence

    I cannot say enough great things about working with Brooke for our 5.22.21 wedding at Big Spring Farm in Lexington, VA. I was a “Covid Bride,” and between that and the standard stress that comes with planning a wedding, it was certainly overwhelming at times. However, Brooke was there alongside us the entire time in order to make sure everything ran smoothly during the months leading up to and the most perfect day we could have ever dreamed of! She made sure everything (and I had a lot of detailed requests and decorations) was EXACTLY how I wanted and envisioned. She started working with me even earlier than the package we had booked because she is just that good and genuinely cares about you and making sure your big day still feels like a dream even after it becomes a reality. She is prompt, organized, and so calm and easy to work and communicate with. If you want the BEST wedding planner I highly suggest not reading anymore reviews and booking Brooke ASAP!!

    P.S she took the photo I am posting with this review!! :D

    Hire Brooke, I promise!

    Brooke Shehan is hands down amazing! Hire her for whatever your needs are: day of, full planning, month of coordination and I promise your expectations will be exceeded and then some. My expectation for her as a wedding planner went above and beyond what was asked for. Hiring a wedding planner requires a great deal of trust: trust that they are reliable, will get the job done efficiently and smoothly leading up to and day of, and ability to see your vision. Brooke exceeded this and so much more and I will tell you why.
    I hired her for month of coordination, as I generally knew what I wanted/needed but having a destination wedding I needed the extra help to coordinate not to mention coordinate day of. She was helpful from the get go an entire year out from our date and her help with little details prior to was my literally my second brain. I can't emphasize enough how much Brooke could read my mind which was super helpful. In addition to this, Brooke is one of the kindest, thoughtful individuals I have ever met. I knew instantly after our first conversation, after reading careful reviews, and browsing her super cute website that she was the right person for the job. Brooke was able to coordinate with my vendors from afar, understand what I needed on day of, and flawlessly execute what was asked. I am a little bit of a type A girl, and I can't communicate enough because of Brooke's attention to detail, effective communication skills, expertise and experience, how easy it was for me to let go and let her do what she does because she is trustworthy and just that good. Our wedding day went off without a hitch! Furthermore, at the end of the day it was nice to be able to get to know someone as sweet as her. I would shout it from the roof tops if I could, but if you need a wedding planner hire Brooke! I recommend at least doing month of coordination as I did as there is so much that goes into a wedding, that last month of coordination is crucial and it was great to have someone I could trust help me with it. Thank you, Brooke, From the bottom of my (and Troy's!) heart! Also, cost wise she is very affordable and worth EVERY penny (if you can even put a dollar amount on a heart of gold)
