Shauna felt like family from the moment we met her! She was so kind, attentive and intentional with every detail and she is an expert in all things you need to know as a bride. Whenever I needed her she was available and ready to answer my questions and I could trust that she would provide the most honest feedback even if it was something hard to hear. On the day of our wedding she handled everything and I didn’t have to stress the details at all. It could not have gone more perfect! The best decision we made in the planning process was having Shauna come along on this journey - she’s a complete angel :) -

We just had our daughter's wedding on Bald Head Island. Shauna is nothing short of fantastic. She helped us with vendor choices, had great ideas, and does it all with patience and professionalism. She kept us on our timeline leading up to the wedding and was incredible on the wedding day. I honestly cannot say enough about Shauna. We are so thankful we found her! -

Shauna is INCREDIBLE! She made our wedding beyond what we ever could have hoped for in every way, and it was a wedding our guests have all said they’ll remember as being very special. She made sure everything went off without a hitch and was flexible, coming up with creative solutions whenever we needed. She came up with a genius spot for our ceremony that was very unique and private, the decor was gorgeous, and the way the reception flowed even with some minor time changes was ideal. Both of us had no worries throughout the night because we knew she had it under control! All vendors that she recommended were excellent as well.
She was also very available leading up to wedding the day, keeping me on track and calm and helping me make decisions. Truly can't recommend her enough! -

Shauna is kind, organized and so extremely helpful. I got married in September and our plans had to change multiple times due to COVID. She managed everything for me and made the stress of changing plans multiple times so much easier to handle. I couldn’t have done it without her! -

Shauna was incredible! My now husband and I live in Oregon and our wedding was at my parents' house in Wrightsville Beach. Planning was going to be a nightmare from such a long distance, but Shauna made everything work so smoothly. She had a list of vendors she trusted, responded by email promptly and scheduled conference phone calls regularly, and had great advice during the planning process. On the day of the wedding, everything was perfect! Shauna and her team made the whole evening work seamlessly. She thought of everything, even making sure the caterers saved us a plate of food and that we ate before being swarmed by our guests. I would recommend Shauna over and over again. She is organized, patient, and a delight to work with! -

Ever since our wedding, I have been trying to come up with the right things to say so as to encompass how much we LOVE Shauna and loved working with her. We cannot talk about her and compliment her enough! Shauna was like a fairy godmother who came into our lives and made the whole wedding process from start to finish seamless, fun, and wonderful. We did not think we would ever be able to have our dream wedding on Bald Head Island, a place that is very dear to us, but Shauna made it happen! Our wedding was initially scheduled for October, however we had to reschedule due to Hurricane Florence. Shauna was a life saver and handled everything with our vendors and made the whole postponement so easy on us. She made the whole day absolutely beautiful, and the whole process completely stress free. She is so sincere and puts so much of her heart into the planning and the actual wedding, we could not be more grateful for her! You can tell she has such a love for what she does! We love SLP! -

Made my wedding experience stress-free
Shauna was the saving grace in my wedding! I started planning my wedding in November 2017 and didn’t originally intend to have a wedding planner. Everything was coming together- I had a vision and vendors and a budget, but I still felt like something was missing. I “met” with two other planners before finding Shauna and they only offered phone calls instead of meeting in person and I felt like they were selling me on their services the whole time. When I setup a meeting with Shauna we met over coffee and she asked me tons of questions about my day that I hadn’t even thought about. She started giving me recommendations and was basically helping me before a contract had even been discussed. I immediately felt comfortable with her and even though I chose her “day-of” coordinator package she went above and beyond for me all of the days leading up to my wedding. When I say that my wedding day went off without a hitch it’s not an exaggeration- I would highly recommend Shauna Loves Planning to anyone who asks! -

We love Shauna and know you will too!
Shauna was a lifesaver. Quite literally. We were planning to get married on Bald Head Island, NC. However, the weekend before our wedding, Hurricane Florence slammed into Bald Head Island, closing our venue and vendors. Needless to say, 5 days before the wedding we had to frantically come up with a backup plan. We had to plan an entirely new wedding. Seriously, an entirely new wedding. She was with us every single step of the way, supporting us and making arrangements. She brought a sense of peace and security to our entire wedding weekend experience when everything around us was hectic. Shauna’s organization and leadership is truly unmatched. I credit her with the flawless wedding day. The day of the wedding you would have never known it was a backup plan because Shauna made sure the day was distraction free and absolutely beautiful. Additionally, rather than going back to check on her home after the storm, she chose to meet us in our new location to plan the new wedding, which speaks volumes to who she is and how she cares for her clients. We felt unbelievably cared for and heard by her.
Not only was Shauna amazing during the time of distress and tragedy when we realized the day we had planned together for 10 months wasn’t going to happen, she was incredible during the entire process. From constant communication, creative design ideas, organizing our wedding parties, coordinating wedding weekend plans/timeline, and on-and-on, Shauna was truly an INCREDIBLE wedding planner. Any vendor we mentioned Shauna’s name too, could not say enough amazing things about her. We would hire Shauna 1,000 times over again and would suggest that you do the same. We love Shauna. -

Rebecca Sent on 05/29/2018My husband and I got married on Bald Head Island on May 12, 2018. The wedding was at the chapel and reception at Shoals Club. We hired Shauna for her full planning services, and worked with her for about 14 months leading up to the wedding. She was AMAZING!! With her monthly checklists, email check-ins, and conference calls with me and my mom, Shauna directed us through every single detail and kept us so organized. She handled all the vendors which was a lifesaver! And finally, she made the day of our wedding absolutely beautiful!! Every last detail was done perfectly and it all came together even better than I could've imagined. Shauna is professional, thoughtful, organized, and all around pleasure to work with. I'd recommend her to anyone!!

Julia Sent on 05/11/2018My husband and I got married on April 14, 2018 on Bald Head Island, NC. Working with Shauna was the best decision we made during the wedding planning process. I have been vacationing at Bald Head Island for 20+ years, so my mom and I thought it would be so easy to plan the wedding ourselves. We were completely wrong! To say Shauna is amazing is an understatement. She was pleasant, organized, professional, recommended the best vendors, and allowed me to have peace of mind. She turned my vision into a reality. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making April 14th the best day of my life!

Tara Sent on 10/03/2017We live in New York and had our wedding in Bald Head Island NC. Shauna Loves Planning helped make sure everything went smoothly and thought of all the little planning details I would have forgotten. Without Shauna's help our wedding would have been very stressful. I would highly recommend using Shauna Loves Planning if you are getting married in the Wilmington area. I booked the day of coordinator package several months after I started planning and really wish I had found Shauna Loves Planning earlier and had her help plan my wedding from the beginning, she is very knowledgeable about all the vendors and venues in the area. -
Margaret Sent on 10/02/2017Shauna was the absolute best thing about my wedding! I got married last November on Bald Head Island and we had four days of parties with over 300 guests. Shauna worked tirelessly with me to get everything organized, and every step of the way she went above and beyond. From helping me navigate family politics, to SO many seating chart updates, to giving me new and fun ideas that were exactly my taste, Shauna made me feel so loved, known, and prepared for the weekend. Throughout the wedding weekend I didn't stress about a single thing, I knew Shauna had it all covered. I am a planner myself, and I say that investing in Shauna was the best decision we made for our wedding. I got to be involved where I wanted to, and in other places I just trusted her! Most of our guests said that ours was the best wedding they've ever attended, and Shauna was a large part of that! Cannot speak highly enough of her!

Theresa Sent on 09/10/2017We are from Maryland and our families and us traveled down the week prior to our destination wedding on Bald Head Island, North Carolina, July 21st, 2017 . Our wedding was a dream come true and surpassed all of our expectations. Our destination wedding would not have been possible if we did not have Shauna. She was extremely professional, organized, and insightful throughout all aspects of our wedding planning process and during final execution of all the planning on the wedding day. If it were not for her relationships and experience with the vendors in the area, we would have had a very hard and stressful experience planning from states away. Both our originally selected rentals vendor and hair/make-up services had fallen through months before the wedding due to uncontrollable circumstances, and Shauna was quick to find us new and even better substitutes who did an absolutely fabulous job on our wedding day. We trusted Shauna's experience planning weddings at Bald Head so much that we did not travel down for a catering or cake taste testing or to meet with the florist and rental vendors. She communicated all our needs and wishes to the vendors and saved us SO much time and stress. The wedding day timeline she developed was critical to our day running as seamlessly as it did and she made sure everything was set up exactly as I had planned with her. She was so prepared and level headed during the excitement of the day, and even came to the rescue by lending me her decorative hanger she had used on her wedding day for my wedding dress detail photographs, along with a sewing kit when the Best Man's pants ripped minutes before the ceremony! We really can not thank Shauna enough for all her help on making our wedding the best day of our lives.
