    Amazing Planner

    Shannon and her team were amazing to work with. Firstly our wedding was somewhat last-minute, and thankfully there was a cancellation that allowed us to work with Citrus City Events. The planning process was super well organized and Shannon brought so many great fresh ideas to our pre-existing vision, while simultaneously incorporating and up-leveling ideas we brought to the table. The vendor connections including everything from furniture, to bar service, DJs and more were perfect for our event and we would never have been able to find services anywhere near the level of quality she brought without her help. The food, (shoutout James Madison Catering) was especially amazing and had all of our guests raving. Communication was also outstanding, always answering all of our questions super quickly and providing the needed reminders, assurances and recommendations to keep the planning process on track. Fast forward to day-of management and Shannon and her team were beyond professional, and kept the day running smoothly. Our wedding was an amazing unforgettable event for us and our guests, thanks to Citrus City Events!

    My wedding day was perfect!

    Shannon and her team helped us execute the wedding of our dreams. I was quite stressed when it came to the wedding planning process and didn't even know where to start half of the time. Every time I spoke with Shannon she made me feel at ease with her expertise and calm demeanor. There was always a feeling of--Shannon's got our backs. She hooked us up with the best vendors, supported us when issues arose, and was in constant communication with us. When we finally got to the wedding day, I was able to completely let go because I knew that the team had everything under control. And they exceeded my expectations. Everything went so smoothly. The decorations were beautifully placed, exactly as I had envisioned them. Shannon and her team made sure we were taken care of--handing us food and drinks when we were in the chaos of greeting guests. There was not one single hiccup in the day and the whole team felt like family by the end of the night. I'm so grateful they were a part of our special day. I'd recommend them to anyone is search of a wedding coordinator!

    She goes above and beyond!

    Shannon exceeded our expectations and more. She was welcoming and friendly to help us feel comfortable during the stressful parts of wedding planning. She made herself available through text or phone calls to help us with questions we would have. She made us feel so special and hear throughout the process.

    Forever Grateful

    From day one, I was so grateful to work with Citrus City Events. Although her services were primarily as the month-of and day-of coordinator, Shannon made sure I was on the right track throughout the entire wedding planning process. Once my venue was booked, she sent me a pre-wedding questionnaire to help me determine my vision for the wedding. In the last three months leading up to the wedding, Shannon provided worksheets and checklists to assist with the final details. It included things I wouldn’t have thought of on my own. Through emails, texts, and phone calls, she ensured I was prepared for the big day. The week of the wedding, we did have to make some adjustments due to last minute rain. Although I was stressed about it raining on my wedding day, Shannon jumped into action and secured a tent for the outdoor ceremony. As soon as I arrived on-site the day of, all of my worries went away. The setup was more beautiful than I had imagine, even with the rain. I honestly don’t know what I would have done without Shannon. She handled everything from creating a timeline, confirming my vendors, setting up the venue, and even holding my train as I posed for pictures in the rain. I was able to trust Shannon’s expertise and enjoy my wedding day without worrying about what would come next. I will forever be thankful for Shannon and Citrus City Events.

    Absolutely amazing from start to finish.

    So thankful for Shannon and her expertise! From our initial communication until the end of our special day she was an absolute gem. We planned our wedding in less time than usual and Shannon ensured it all went well. Her planning skills are top notch and she goes a live and beyond. She is so talented and focuses on every detail. Our wedding was a dream come true and we couldn’t have done it without her.

    Shannon was the best wedding coordinator and planner I could have asked for. She was on top of things the entire process and day of. She was patient with me because I would often fall behind on emails and super efficient. The day of, her sweet personality and planning all came together and made me a very calm bride. She was able to make last minute adjustments, organize everything the way I planned, listened to me, and gave us great ideas too. Pick Shannon as your coordinator. She is awesome! Also not to mention she did all this while being a little sick, shows her dedication to her profession, professionalism, and how you can always count on her planning. Thank you Shannon!!!

    Amazing Wedding Planner

    Shannon was truly amazing. She helped us through the process, especially with our final steps. She emailed us a last minute details to make sure we had everything set. She definitely eased our minds during the week leading up to the wedding. That week was a roller coaster of weather conditions. Shannon let us know on a Monday that we needed to purchase last minute fans, due to a heat wave. However, on Wednesday, it changed from fans to umbrellas, as there was now a thunderstorm for our Friday wedding. Shannon was able to get us a last minute tent for our outdoor ceremony and moved everything indoors. Although it was not our dream wedding, our wedding day turned out perfectly and cannot thank Shannon enough! She had a group chat started with all of our vendors to keep them updated with the weather and any changes as well. We would definitely recommend Shannon to everyone looking for a wedding planner!!

    Best Planner around

    My husband and I can not recommend Shannon enough to anyone that is in need of a wedding planner. if you want your dreams to come true, be stress free and have the wedding of your dreams, then shannon is your girl. Shannon is very professional, personable, caring and most of all genuine. i truly believe she cares about everyone's wedding she is involved in and does not treat you like a transaction. she truly loves what she does and this is definitely her calling. From the start shannon was so helpful to my husband and i. we had no idea what we were doing and she made it very simple for us, providing simple tasks at a time. we were overwhelmed and with her assistance it took all those feelings away. Shannon was always available via phone, text or email and had speedy responses. our wedding came out better than we ever expected and was an absolute dream. a couple weeks before my wedding many things changed and through the process shannon guided me relieving me of all the stress that came with the last minute changes. Shannon even went to the extent of fixing my seating chart for me to help us days before the wedding, she did not have to do this. she did this to be helpful. the day of was absolutely stunning. shannon also has a wide variety of anything you may need for your wedding to rent which was a huge perk when it came to decor, games and anything extra you may need. Shannon, we can not thank you enough for going above and beyond during the entire wedding planning process and our day of. you are a true rockstar and you poured your heart and soul into our wedding. If you are deciding whether you need a planner or not, if you want your day to go smoothly and be perfect, shannon with Citrus City Events is for you!!

    Excellent service

    Citrus City Events made us feel like everything was in good hands. She helped us remember so many details we could have forgotten and made sure the wedding day ran smoothly. It took off so much stress to have Citrus City Events working with us on the wedding. I would definitely recommend her to anyone.

    The best coordinator we could have asked for!

    We found Shannon through our venue, and it was an incredible stroke of luck, because she turned out to be the best coordinator we could have asked for.

    From the very beginning she was professional, communicative, flexible, practical, and pleasant, keeping us informed, prepared, on track, and excited from Day 1 through the Day Of.

    In addition to her coordinator services, she provided us with numerous decor items. And she introduced us to almost every single vendor we used, all of whom were also great (and who all said the exact same glowing things about how great Shannon is to work with).

    She demonstrated an uncanny ability to remain calm in any situation, and the fates provided more than her fair share of situations for her to deal with.

    She delivered above and beyond her already-extremely-reasonable fee.

    Our wedding day went exactly as we wanted it to, and it was an incredibly special experience for us and for all our guests, and so much of that is because Shannon was the perfect partner for executing our vision.

    We cannot recommend her highly enough!

    Month of coordinator

    Shannon was a dream come true. She exceeded all expectations. We had no idea where to look for a coordinator and she was bundled into our wedding venue package. I’m so glad she was.

    She was so organized from the get go and it set my mind at ease. As we got closer, I never felt overwhelmed because she had the experience and expertise to know where we were headed and what I needed to accomplish.

    A week before, the weather forecast was all rain. I was pretty upset but Shannon made sure all options were explored and that I felt confident in decisions.

    Day of, we felt so taken care of. She made sure we had food and drinks and that we were following schedule.

    Not only is Shannon incredibly organized, she has so many cute supplies you can pick to use for your wedding including lawn games! She truly makes your day feel special!! I cannot recommend her enough.

    Amazing Experience!

    We cannot say enough good things about Shannon and her team!! Our wedding was above and beyond what we had wanted/expected and that was truly due to Shannon and her patience and willingness to listen to what we were thinking - and then make it so much better! The day of our wedding went so smoothly and Shannon and Shelbie both took the time to make each of us feel special, even taking portraits of the groom the morning of as our photographers were at the bridal Airbnb! She directed the ceremony and, even with all of the different personalities amongst our family members (lol!), it went off without a hitch. As soon as we sat down for the reception, Shannon was there to check on us and to ensure we had everything we needed. Our wedding was a bit non-traditional and Shannon and Shelbie both rolled with everything so professionally and kindly and even packed everything up at the end of a very long night! We were absolutely blown away by Shannon and Shelbie from the start of the day to the finish. If you are looking to have a beautiful, smooth and stress-free wedding day that is truly about you and your partner, look no further than Shannon and Citrus City Events!

    Everything I wanted it to be

    Shannon was amazing. Not only did she help me put my vow renewal together in a time crunch, but she didn't miss a detail. It was the perfect Midsummer's nightdream wedding. A truly magical evening that my husband and I will cherish for a lifetime.

    They are so professional, understanding, make sure you’re taken care of before and on day of. I have no complaints. Highly recommended for any event.

    The venue is breathtaking and the team is so friendly and professional. Highly recommend any event here. They were so helpful and helped me with all the planning. Shannon was absolutely AMAZING. She made sure we were well taken care of, if I got anxious or stress she calmed me down and brought be peace, and was always so helpful. She was a lifesaver! Mario and Arleth were awesome too! Very responsive and professional. I would do any event here on the future.

    Shannon’s the best!

    I met Shannon through the venue we picked. From the day of our tour to the day of our wedding, Shannon pointed us to the right direction. I didn’t realized till I was planning the wedding that there’s so many details that can be overlooked! Especially since we decided to choose our own vendors. Shannon made sure everything was well coordinated and basically left no stone unturned. The day of the wedding she made sure things went by smoothly even though there were a few surprises! Thank you Shannon for helping us have the wedding of our dreams!

    Best coordinator ever!

    From the beginning my husband and I were clueless as to what we wanted / what our vision was. We put all our faith into Shannon and she did not disappoint one bit. Shannon went above and WAY beyond to make our day perfect and better than we would ever expect. We never thought that our big day would be as beautiful and spectacular as it was. Shannon is the perfect example of someone who could have a million things going on, but still makes you feel TOP priority. Coming from someone who reached out 1,000 times for anything and everything we needed and being as picky as we are, we seriously can not recommend her enough. Our wedding was perfect because of Shannon. If it wasn’t for her our big day wouldn’t have been as lovely. We had different plans originally, a whole venue booked, etc. We met Shannon and just knew we had to cancel everything we planned and book with her. From her skills in decor to planning, on to vendors, etc. Shannon absolutely made our wedding the BEST day ever. If we could go back and change anything, we wouldn’t because of Shannon.. 20 out of 10 recommend.

    Best decision ever

    Our wedding was a huge success thanks to Shannon and my day of coordinator Veronica. Both ladies were amazing and kept me stress free. From the moment I spoke with Shannon I knew I was in good hands. We ran into a few bumps in the road with our venue and she handled it way early which gave me piece of mind and brought our vision together as we dreamed. Thank you for your hard work we really appreciate.

    Fantastic and very accommodating!!

    I had the pleasure of having Shannon, as my wedding coordinator and she did not disappoint! She not only made my dream wedding come to life, but she was very accommodating and flexible, especially when mother in law suddenly passed, a week before our wedding. She even went above and beyond to play with our toddler son, while my husband and I had our first meal together. I highly recommend Shannon!

    Citrus City Events's reply:

    Corina! It's hard not to play and entertain and love on little Mikey. You were a dream to work with and the most beautiful bride. YOU are the reason I love doing what I do. I'm so sorry your mother-in-law couldn't be there.... but she sent you a very special message, letting you know she was! Hello... rainbow in July?!

    The Best of the Best

    I couldn’t imagine doing this without Shannon. I asked her to help me plan my wedding event of 160+ guest in 2 months and she definitely delivered. Everything turned out so beautiful and my guests were so impressed by her. Throughout the process she thought of every detail and on my wedding day she thought of everything I didn’t. Who you work with always matters so don’t make the mistake to take this huge event alone or in the wrong hands.
