Emily Sent on 01/19/2025We had the wedding of our dreams thanks to Cue the Champagne!
We are beyond thankful for Shaun and the Cue the Champagne team and cannot recommend her services more! Our wedding was everything we dreamed of and more. Shaun went above and beyond to capture our vision and ensure our weekend was special. She helped us stay on top of planning, found the perfect vendors in our budget, and ensured everything came together. Our wedding weekend was stress free and absolutely beautiful!
Cue the Champagne also did our flowers and they were stunning! The overall decor came together beautifully and I can't imagine anything different. From the first call, we knew that Shaun was going to have a huge impact on our wedding and it was an easy decision to work with her. She made the process seamless and so much fun! The day of team was a joy to work with.
If you are looking for a wedding planner that will listen to you, laugh with you, and love you through the process - then you have found the right lady! A true gem in the wedding planning industry. -

There are no amount of stars or words to express how wonderful, organized, detail oriented, and on point, Shaun and her team are!! It's been a few months since our wedding, and our guests are still raving to us and our families about how amazing our wedding and reception was. Shaun made long distance planning a breeze as we planned our wedding in Chattanooga while living in North Carolina. From helping with small things such as answering questions about bridesmaids dresses to bigger things such as having our vision come to fruition with the reception design to coordinating with all of our vendors for the perfect day of schedule. She put my mind to ease on day 1 when I was worried about planning a wedding in 8 months, and I wasn't worried anymore after that as Shaun made sure we stayed on track with all of the planning. We wanted a traditional wedding and a party feel for the reception- she delivered that and then some! We can't thank Shaun and her team enough for making our day so special; it was truly an unforgettable experience that we will cherish for the rest of our lives!! -

Madison Sent on 05/30/2024Best decision I made while wedding planning!
Shaun and the team that coordinated my wedding day were professional, kind, and I couldn’t have asked for anything more. There were so many small details they took care of without me having to get involved and my wedding day was PERFECT. From calming my nerves about the weather, to the decoration of the space and adding finishing touches, to corralling my family, I was blown away. Shaun and her team are truly experts in the wedding industry. They took so much stress off of me, encouraged me, made sure I had food throughout the night, and I just couldn’t be more grateful. -

Ashley Sent on 12/12/2021The Best!!
Shaun and her team are the absolute best!! Communication was so easy throughout the entire process. Shaun is extremely detail-orientated and will ensure that you think of every last detail. She provides assistance throughout the planning process (we did day of/month of coordination) and she provided us with lists of vendors and checklists to make sure we had everything we needed. The day of our wedding, she arrived promptly and did her absolute best to keep our wild (and chronically late) family on track for our day! She helped us adjust our timeline as needed and she took care of every single detail. We also worked with Prat on our wedding day who was an absolute delight! We did not have to worry about a single thing the entire day and Prat and Shaun brought our vision to life! You will not regret hiring Cue the Champagne for your planning needs! -

Shawn and her team at Cue the Champagne were great. They did a great job keeping us on task during the planning process. Attention to detail was remarkable. Highly recommend them to be your florist as well. Everything was beautiful. She did a great job incorporating decor we purchased with their florals.
Wedding day was virtually stress free and everything was packed up carefully at the end of the night. Well worth every penny!!! Thank you CTC for a fabulous evening! -

Thomas Sent on 07/18/2021Professional, Experienced Planner
Shaun and Cue the Champagne were amazing help with planning our wedding. From the beginning, she was a huge help by recommending vendors that were a good fit for us. When the pandemic hit, she was great help in pivoting our plans, while still ensuring we were able to have the wedding we had originally envisioned, even though 1/10th the size.
Shaun's eye for design is wonderful. She got some input from us and then developed a whole design of the wedding with options for us. She does an incredible job with listening and applying preferences through all sorts of details. She isn't going to give you a cookie cutter wedding.
Cue the Champagne exudes professionalism. Everything is systematized, which greatly helps with catching all of the details and then enacting them. Shaun has a great working relationship with a number of vendors ensuring prompt responses and quality products.
Day of the wedding, the team was amazing. Going in, we knew we were in good hands. It was reassuring knowing that if anything went wrong, Shaun and her team would have it handled. Everything went as planned. We couldn't have had a better wedding. Huge thanks to Shaun and Cue the Champagne! -

Shaun & the CTC crew are a dream come true! Shaun is 100% on your side. She is extremely organized, detail oriented and listens. Her professionalism and experience shines. She helped guide our plans, bringing up things we never thought about while planning. We brought Shaun on late in the wedding planning process (3 weeks out) but she took us on and she treated us as if she was there from day one. My family and my wedding party was able to sit back and enjoy the day while Shaun and CTC ran the show. Worth every penny. -

Whitney Sent on 04/07/2021Run, Don't Walk to Hire Shaun!
I recently had the opportunity to provide stationery and day-of signage for Shaun’s clients, Kaitlyn and Ethan, and to say she made the process “convenient” would be an absolute understatement. She not only was knowledgeable in her own craft and what her clients were interested in, but she was able to provide me with an inspiration board, color palette and more to review prior to our initial Zoom consultation with the clients in order to gauge their interest and overall vision. As a wedding stationer, having a planner in the mix can often cause a lot of chaos, headaches and more, but having someone as organized and who specializes in their craft like Shaun makes the entire process entirely much more enjoyable from a professional standpoint. I have no doubt that anyone who is seeking a trustworthy, knowledgeable, fun and utmost enjoyable, encouraging and professional wedding planning experience should contact Shaun. She is fabulous at what she does and represents her clients to the very best of her abilities!! -

Randi Sent on 07/22/2020Amazing!! Helped make our dreams come true despite the pandemic!
Wow! Where to start? What a journey it was getting to our wedding day. We honestly could not have done it without Shaun. From the day we booked her, she has gone above and beyond. Shaun really takes the time to not only get to know your tastes/preferences, but also who you and your partner are as a couple, as well as family dynamics. I was a full time college student that was planning a wedding. Even though I was hours away from Shaun, she made it so easy to contact and coordinate/collaborate with her through the Aisle Planner portal. Everything, like our contracts and notes, was all organized in there! She travelled to meet with us and our vendors. She worked with me to make a concept board of our wedding details to make sure everyone was on the same page with what my husband and I wanted. From the start, we faced many ups and downs in the planning process. However, Shaun helped us extinguish these fires left and right!! We were contacted by our venue last year and asked to shift our wedding date up almost 4 months due to their construction!! We panicked, but Shaun worked quickly to make sure we knew all our options and that our vendors were on board with the changes. It was amazing to have an experienced professional, who knew the local area/vendors well and could give great recommendations for everything. It is obvious that her colleagues in the Event Planning Industry think very highly of her! Every vendor we booked was off of her recommendations, and we were so impressed with everyone’s professionalism. When the pandemic hit, our wedding plans, once again, went down the drain. In less than a month Shaun helped us navigate through losing our venue, changing our officiant, finding a new makeup artist, new place for the rehearsal dinner, new accommodations for out of town guests, changing guest count due to the pandemic, etc. At the time, it felt like the end of the world. Shaun was so uplifting and still willing to work with us to create a magical day, while keeping the safety of guests in mind. Once again, she jumped on it and made sure that all our vendors could accommodate us at our new location. In the end, our wedding was ABSOLUTELY. PERFECT. Everyone enjoyed the entire day. We did not have to lift a finger. Everyone, including vendors and the bridal party, knew exactly where to be and at what time due to Shaun’s timeline. We even ran ahead of schedule the entire day thanks to her team! The decor was stunning. The best part... they handled the set up and break down too!! Even the DJ told my husband and I that it was the best wedding he had ever been to. Even if you feel like you’re on top of all the details of the planning process, investing in a wedding coordinator is still a great choice to make sure you have a seamless wedding day that all your guest enjoy as well. There are so many little details to keep up with, and she's so organized! Even after the wedding, Shaun will check in with you with a list of helpful hints, like getting your dress dry cleaned, etc. Thank you Shaun for working with us over the past 18 months. She helped make our dreams come true! -

Lynn Sent on 07/17/2020Highly recommended!
I was told by several friends that it would be well worth the money spent to hire a wedding planner for my daughter’s wedding. That was an understatement! We found Shaun with Cue The Champagne through a friend and since we had heard good things we chose her. We were so impressed with her professionalism, all her resources, and her organization skills. If that’s not enough...we experienced a pandemic a couple of months prior to the actual wedding date! Words can’t express how grateful we were to Shaun for all she did to make sure our daughter had the most incredible wedding ever! Shaun and staff went over and above to insure her day was perfect. She helped us stay focused, kept in constant contact with all the vendors and us and she maintained the most positive attitude. We really appreciated all she did during this extremely stressful time. We literally had to re plan the wedding (several times) just weeks before the event! I would recommend her to anyone. She is the best! -

Absolutely the best best experience if you want to elope in Chattanooga. Very easy once you pick the date and place. Shaun was very responsive , professional and had suggestions for our vows which I needed. -

Anna Sent on 12/03/2019Wonderful experience
Shaun was so helpful and responsive throughout the process of writing our vows and putting together the wedding program. She was warm, kind, and made our wedding day special! I would definitely recommend her, especially if you are looking for a non-traditional/non religious service - but she also does all kinds of services. -

Caroline Sent on 11/30/2019Friendly, professional, and detail oriented!
Shaun and her team are a top choice for anyone needing a connected, professional wedding planner. Her tools, reminders, suggestions, and coordinating were top notch in helping us create our special day. We truly couldn't have imagined our day without her and her team. Our set up and wedding day look from my bridal details to the reception decor were beyond what we could have imagined and well beyond what we could have done on our own. She is determined to make every detail on our big day special, carefree, and stunning. Shaun is a delight to work with, her team was well versed and organized. She does not disappoint! Thanks so much to Shaun and her team for making our day exactly that, our day! Free of being concerned with set up, decisions, timing, guest movement, and stressful details! -

Micah Sent on 08/16/2019Essential to a successful, stressfree wedding in Chattangooa
I don't know how I would have pulled off my destination wedding in Chattanooga without Shaun and her team at Cue the Champagne. She helped give us recommendations for each vendor needed in our price range which saved so much time contacting vendors just to find out they wouldn't work for us. She and her team helped me with every random question before the wedding from layout of the whole venue to advice on color schemes and where to save money. The day of the wedding ran smoothly and my family and I didn't have to worry about any small or large issue because it was taken care for us. I can not recommend Cue the Champaign enough and will forever be glad I found Shaun to help make our day a day to remember for the rest of our lives. -

Jessie Sent on 07/15/2019The BEST Wedding Planner
Looking back on my wedding planning process, I can say that hiring Cue the Champagne was hands-down the BEST decision I made. I planned my Chattanooga wedding from my home in Atlanta, and I truly could not have done it without the help of Shaun and her team! I was lucky enough to find Cue the Champagne through my venue, The Church on Main. From the first phone call with Shaun, I knew I wanted her help planning my wedding.
Shaun and her team work closely with the absolute best wedding vendors in the Chattanooga area. Everyone we booked (catering, florals, videography, etc.) all came from Shaun’s recommendation, and they were all truly amazing. If I was ever stressed about anything, no matter how small, Shaun was always willing to hop on a call with me and talk through everything I was worried about. Every single time she managed to immediately calm my nerves. She’s amazing at talking to you like an old friend, but one who has tons of experience in the wedding industry and is a true professional. Another one of my favorite things with CTC was the access to the online planning portal through the Aisle Planner. The portal was key to keeping everything organized, from signed contracts, records of payments, and design ideas.
When it came to the actual wedding day, everything was planned down to the minute. I was able to just sit back and enjoy the day knowing that everything had been coordinated with every vendor, and I literally had nothing to worry about. There is not a single thing that I would change about my planning process and wedding day. It was all absolutely perfect, and that is 100% due to Shaun and her team!

Shaun and her crew were extremely reliable, punctual, and best of all, creative! I had a very specific vision and CTC was able to create every bit of it. Even the small things like staying on schedule with pictures to making sure my very specific bouquet was exactly what I wanted, Shaun and her team took on the challenges with ease. My bridal team loved CTC and had many compliments of their own about their professionalism. -

Shaun and her team at Cue the Champagne and Elope Chattanooga are the best of the best! As a wedding photographer, its so important to me to work with a fantastic planner/coordinator because when there isn't one, those responsibilities always seem to fall on me. I always know everything will be handled perfectly and smoothly when I'm working a CTC wedding. I also have had the pleasure to shoot quite a few elopements officiated by Shaun or her husband with Elope Chattanooga. Truly the best team around! -

Due to unforeseen circumstances my husband and I had to change our wedding plans from an out of town wedding in 2019 to an elopement in October of 2018. I was overwhelmed and stress by the situation but Cue the Champagne was wonderful. Their website was thorough and comprehensive on the services they offered and the different packages for an elopement. They were very professional and extremely responsive to my emails regarding the date, locations and package. Their fees are extremely reasonable and the photographer that was there was wonderful. -

Shaun was amazing throughout the whole wedding planning process. She always made sure I was on top of everything and sticking to the timeline of the whole wedding planning process. I had a million wedding-related questions, and she answered them within a few hours via a private website. When it came to the day of the wedding, I was able to relax and enjoy the day with my bridesmaids and family. I never worried about anything because Shaun kept me on time and updated. She and Rebecca made sure that our wedding was nothing short of amazing! -

Where do I even start to tell you how amazing Shaun Cox and her assistant, Cora are?!!! From the first time that I talked with Shaun on the phone, I knew that she was perfect for my daughter's wedding day! She is so full of spunk and energy...that I'm not sure she ever sleeps!! My family is from Huntsville, AL...my daughter and her fiancé are from Atlanta so I had MANY questions about logistics and vendors (probably WAY more than the average mother of the bride)....but Shaun was always quick to answer and kept me on track when I would start to venture off in the wrong direction. We had a really large wedding party...10 bridesmaids....10 groomsmen...but she kept them reeled in and on task (which I'm sure was no easy task)!!!
If you are looking for a wedding coordinator who will be there for you from beginning to end.....look no further.....Cue the Champagne is the best!!!! Thank you Shaun from the bottom of my heart!!! -

Jessica Sent on 10/04/2017Where do I even begin with Shaun and her fabulous team! From the moment I met her she put my mind at ease and I knew she would make this exciting/ nerve wracking process so much easier and fun! Day of, it's like she could anticipate my needs and knew exactly the right thing to say or do. When a bridesmaid's dress ripped down the back, she was there sewing it up. If you are in the market for a wedding coordinator, your search ends here; there simply isn't better than Cue the Champagne!
