    The best money I spent in my wedding budget was Pear Planning

    When I think about my wedding day, a lot of great memories will come to mind, but nothing will standout as much as how GLAD my husband and I are that we hired Shannon from Pear Planning to be our Day of Coordinator. From the first e-mail and phone call that Shannon and I exchanged to our last text message the day after my wedding, she was an absolute pleasure and delight to work with. She knew every detail of our entire wedding weekend, she flawlessly executed by ceremony and venue decor set-ups in concert with our venue's banquet coordinator and she kept our entire bridal party on schedule the entire day. When I would think of something, I would turn to Shannon to say it, but she had already handled it. She had a smile on her face the entire day, and made us feel loved and provided for, as if we were her own family members getting married. But most of all? She took care of OUR MOMs so that they never had to stress or worry about any moment of the big day. I hope someday I have some reason to hire Shannon again. If you are looking for a wedding planner or Day of Coordinator in the Buffalo/Niagara region, you must hire Shannon. You will not be disappointed.

    Me and my husband worked with Shannon as our Day-Of Coordinator. She was fantastic! She knew all the details of the wedding and took charge the entire day, from 9 am -after midnight. She helped set up some decor, made sure all the vendors arrived and set up, ensured guests were comfortable and managed taking down all the decor on her own. Quite frankly, hiring her was one of the best decisions we made! Plus she is the most enthusiastic person I have ever met, which made me even more excited about that day!

    Overall, Shannon is professional and extremely well organized and I fully recommend her services!

    I could not be happier with Shannon's services. She was phenomenal! I can say with all honesty that I couldn't have gotten through the day without her. She took care of so many details I forgot and helped with things I had no idea how to do. She is phenomenal at her job and I honestly don't think anyone should get married without a planner.

    The highest rating on this site is 5/5. I would rate Shannon Lach and PEAR Planning at a 10! Extremely efficient, professional, caring, energetic, insightful and dedicated! I highly recommend PEAR planning for any and all event planning! I can say withouth exaggeration or hesitation, that our beautiful wedding could not have happened without the careful and heart-felt planning and assistance we received with Shannon Lach and PEAR Planning.

    Shannon and her team were such a dream to work with for our day-of coordination. When I had questions throughout the process, Shannon was willing to help and offer opinions on certain things. We gave them the pieces and they captured our vision so well in setting up our space at Pearl Street. We were given great advice off the bat and didn't have to worry about a thing the day of our wedding! The PEAR team helped with everything from general encouragement and positivity to getting us food & drinks to coordinating with our DJ to stay an extra hour. My husband was skeptical from the start, but I know that he was sold by end the of the night!

    One of the things that I will never forget about my wedding day was the way the PEAR team went above and beyond and created a perfectly romantic setting for us in our hotel room with candles and pieces from the reception. I would have never asked them to do that for us (as I never would have thought of it), but I was truly blown away when I opened that door after an exhausting and amazing day. I will never forget that feeling and for that, I have only PEAR to thank!

    We hired PEAR to decorate prior to our wedding and tear down when it was done. Lindsay was great - she met with me ahead of time to transfer the decorations and discuss exactly where everything should go. On the day of, she made my venue beautiful and allowed me to focus on coordinating the rest of the vendors and getting myself ready. She was always very responsive, professional, and a calming force the morning of the wedding. I absolutely could not have done it without her. I would recommend PEAR a hundred times over.

    As a wedding professional, it is always refreshing to work with other talented vendors so we can achieve optimal results for the clients we're serving. Shannon & her team at PEAR go above and beyond to please their clients! Her professionalism, talent & drive in this industry will make any bride smile! :) It was a pleasure to work with Shannon.

    We hired Shannon as the "manager of the day" for our wedding and I cannot express how great she was! Shannon was able to relieve a lot of the stress that comes with the wedding day, and I could not have imagined our day without her help. With her being there, taking care of the set up and take down of our outdoor wedding ceremony, picking up and dropping off numerous items, and controlling the flow of the day to keep pace with our timeline - allowed my wife and I to enjoy our wedding day, without having to worry about anything. She even came to the rescue with two umbrellas when it started to rain after our ceremony was over! PEAR was a large part of the reason why our wedding went very smoothly and allowed us and our guests to have a memorable day. I would not hesitate to hire them at another event in the future!

    Shannon at Pear Planning went above and beyond setting up our outdoor ceremony and making sure things went off without a hitch! She offered fantastic suggestions, was extremely flexible and friendly and I felt great knowing our ceremony site was in good hands leaving me to focus on getting ready. I definitely recommend Pear Planning and plan on doing business with them again!

    Shannon at Pear Planning truly went above and beyond for our day-of planning for our wedding. She offered fantastic ideas as well as incorporated ideas I had. Our outdoor ceremony turned out more beautiful that imagined and I didn't have to worry as I knew Shannon would take care of everything. She even had umbrellas in case which worked out perfectly when there was a quick shower after the ceremony! I highly recommend Pear!

    Shannon was the best thing that happen to us on our big day. I will definitively recommend her to my family and friends. She made my day stress free and was always steep ahead of me, which was amazing since once I realized that she was doing a great job I was able to let go of everything and really enjoy my day. There are always things that go wrong on your big day but Shannon took care of everything and for as far as I knew everything was going great and according to the plan. She handled everything and everyone with respect and in a great manner. When I think of how it would all go if Shannon wasn't there to help us on our big day I realize how thankful I am and that I would never be able to handle it myself. Shannon, thank you for being a great friend, amazing artist, great wedding planner and for making mine and Wally's dream wedding come true! I have no idea how we would do it all if it wasn't for you. Also, which I believe is one of your gifts, I thank you for connecting with me and seeing everything, especially all the ideas I had, through my eyes and transferring all of them into reality that made the day even more magical. It is great to work with a person that can see who you are, what you like and how you like it done. Thanks again for everything!

    Shannon Loch is the genius behind PEAR Planning - and she is just wonderful. While this review is much overdue (we were married in May), it is in no means a measure of how great a job Shannon does. Shannon met with us after a disastrous experience with our first wedding planner. She quickly picked up the pieces of our scattered wedding, made everything cohesive, and went out of her way to make the day perfect. Neither my husband nor I are into event planning or details, and Shannon sat with us every step of the way - from the flowers, to the hall decor, to literally where to set up the DJ - to make sure we understood the process, understood the value (in money, time, and resources), and were completely happy with our choices. While she does not make choices for you, she does have this knack for understanding who you are and what your vision is and can often guide you to options that are perfect for your event. Not to mention, her roster of contacts is impressive and she comes very highly recommended from many, many vendors.
    On the day of the wedding, Shannon is worth every penny - she was a tour de force. She managed to make me feel calm, put together, and in control of everything going on. She made my groom feel confident, and even more difficult, made our parents feel comfortable, feel like an important part of the wedding, and confident in how everything would play out. She managed every detail so my groom and I didn't have to think about anything outside of our special day. I would recommend her without any reservations - you'd be in fantastic hands with PEAR Planning.

    PEAR {Planning}'s reply:

    I am beyond thrilled and flattered at the compliments! I do apologize if you feel responsiveness was not up to expectations, as this is something we are working on as our company grows.

    I was thrilled to be a part of your day and so glad to consider you, your family and fiance my PEAR family!

    All the best in love and life,
