    BOOK SHELBY, you won't regret it!

    Shelby is the person you want in charge of your wedding day!! From the second we booked her services, she was nothing short of helpful and sweet while navigating the wedding planning process. Her organization is NEXT LEVEL, the google document she created was top tier, and the communication between her and us, and her and our vendors was incredible. Our wedding day was a dream and Shelby played such a huge role in making that happen. She was on top of everything, from being a problem solver to a decision maker and everything in between! I truly cannot recommend her enough if you are a bride to be! 10000/10 book with Shelby!!

    Shelby Lynn Events's reply:

Cheers to you both!

    Best decision

    Where to begin?! We hired Shelby as our full-time wedding planner (1.5 year-long wedding planning process). Her communication, organization, and professionalism were unmatched. She always responded to every text/email in a timely manner, helped us make hard decisions, and her organizational skills were out of this world! I showed off her detailed document tracking everything wedding-related to everyone I know. Not only did she execute the wedding of my dreams, but because of her, I was able to sit back and relax on my actual wedding day. If I have any advice to any new bride, hire Shelby to be your wedding planner!

    Shelby Lynn Events's reply:

    JANE!! Omg, thank you so much for your compliments and kind words! I loved working with you and Harrison to make your dream day come to life. What an honor it is to be trusted with such a beautiful vision! Cheers to you both!

    Shelby is organized, efficient, and best of all FUN!

    Shelby was such a joy to work with. She is very organized, communicative, and made the wedding planning experience smooth AND enjoyable! She was always calm even if things got hectic and really helped not only me, but my mom be calm through the process. Her communication is clear and she was always the first to reach out when she or a vendor had a question that needed to be addressed. On our wedding day, she was really just part of the family in the best way. I highly recommend having Shelby to work with for all your planning and coordination needs!

    Shelby Lynn Events's reply:

    Camryn, your words mean to so much to me! Especially coming from a fellow wedding industry vendor! Your day was so fun and celebrating with you and your family was a blast! Thank you for trusting me with your day!

    Hire her immediately!

    If you need a coordinator/planner, hire Shelby right now! She helped us in so many ways throughout our wedding planning process and went above and beyond her month of coordinator duties. She was so attentive to details and helped us stay on track leading up to and throughout our wedding weekend. She kept us informed on our wedding day, but also handled any last minute details so we could be present and enjoy our day. She was very responsive and answered every question we had. I completely trusted her and knew she had the experience and talent to help us pull off our dream wedding after our first phone call. She truly became a friend throughout the process and I am so grateful we found her!

    Shelby Lynn Events's reply:

    Greta, oh my goodness you are just the sweetest! You and Colin were such a pleasure to work with and I'm so honored to have been a part of your wedding day! I see a double date at an Orioles game in our future!!

    Best decision we made!

    Working with Shelby Lynn Events was hands down one of the BEST decisions we made throughout the entire wedding planning process. Shelby is exactly what you hope to find in a wedding planner/coordinator. She is incredibly skilled at what she does, but just as important for what we were looking for, she is also kind, communicative, and takes the time to really listen to what her couples need/want out of their big day. She never made us feel silly for not knowing how any of this wild wedding industry worked which I greatly appreciated and she always had great recommendations on how to bring our vision to life! She is absolutely who you want standing in your corner for any unexpected situation a wedding may throw your way (in our case a hurricane!) and if you are looking for a planner or coordinator for your big day we can't recommend her services enough.

    Shelby Lynn Events's reply:

    Karima, you are simply the best! No hurricane could damper your beautiful day! You and Alex were amazing to work with! Thank you for trusting me with all the details!

    Enjoy a stress-free day with Shelby at your side!

    Shelby is a wonderful coordinator and any couple would be lucky to work with her! I am so glad I stumbled upon her services back in November of 2022- a year out from our November 2023 wedding! We booked her for month-of coordination but our conversations began quite a while before that month mark.

    I am a firm believer that a day-of coordinator is absolutely worth it- even if the venue comes with an on-site coordinator (which ours did and she was lovely too!) but I'd hire Shelby again a thousand times over. Don't ask your friends or family to handle those day-of logistics and do yourself a favor and do not do it yourself! The event is so, so worth professional support! We were able to be fully present all morning and evening. We didn't need to worry about the arrival of vendors, setting up tables, or cleaning any of it up!

    Shelby is communicative, and thoughtful, and works to educate her couples throughout the process. She gave us great advice and tips and made the months, weeks, and days leading up to the event stress-free. I am a control freak through and through- and I am so, so glad we worked with Shelby! I'd recommend her to anyone who will listen.

    Shelby Lynn Events's reply:

    Danielle, you are a gem!! Thank you SO much for your kind words and compliments! You and Matt were seriously the sweetest couple, so organized, with the most beautiful vision! Thank you for trusting me with the details and choosing me to be a part of your special day! Cheers to you both!

    Amazing Job!

    Shelby was extremely helpful from start to finish and she was always responsive and easy to contact. We actually live in Florida and had the wedding in Virginia so we were worried about how that would work out to have a coordinator we couldn’t physically meet until the wedding day. Well I can tell you that was no problem at all! By the time we finally met her the week of our wedding it felt like we’ve known her forever because she was always communicating and making sure we were happy with all the details and we definitely were! Shelby and her team are the best!

    Shelby Lynn Events's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words, Thomas! I'd love being boots on the ground for you and Clemence! Bringing your day to life was such an honor! You guys are the best!

    Ya gotta go with Shelby!

    Shelby is a pro, period. Shelby is so down-to-earth, friendly, always professional, responsive, and organized. I was grateful that someone else recommended her to me because I am a true procrastinator - yes, even for my own wedding. I booked with Shelby about 9 or 10 months in advance of our wedding, and we worked in the first couple of months to secure our most important vendors. She had a very comprehensive shared document that we went over in every call. She recommended some of our other vendors (who were also wonderful), she reminded us about deadlines for final details, she set up calls with our vendors at intervals where they were needed, and she made sure all payments due were on our radar in advance. On our wedding day, I couldn't even tell you all the things she took care of because she just... took care of them. She enabled everything to go off without a hitch and I couldn't be more grateful that I decided to go with Shelby.

    Shelby Lynn Events's reply:

    Take me back to this day!! It an absolute dream filled with so much intentionality and style... from the vows to the wedding wardrobe to the FLOWERS, I just loved it all. I loved working with you guys and piecing together your perfect day...it was such an honor to be trusted with it! Love you guys!

    Positive, Professional and Patient!

    Shelby is a true gem. She is a great communicator, skilled professional, and genuinely kind person. We worked together on my wedding. She is a great resource to help pull your vision together. I didn't worry about a thing the day of, because I knew she understood what aspects were most important to us. I highly recommend her for your next event.

    We Love Shelby!!

    We found Shelby through extensive Knot and Facebook vendor research, and are SO glad we did. Shelby went above and beyond in our six months working together. She was prompt to check-in, even when we didn't have scheduled meeting times, and was always available when we had questions or needed support! I can't imagine our wedding day going as smoothly as it did without her! From timelines, runthroughs, planning, setting up arch decor, gathering heards of people together, and helping with our day of errands - Shelby was so kind, professional, and helpful. We loved working with her, and love her personality! I'm so grateful that we not only made a wonderful vendor connection but also, a friend. Thank you for everything, Shelby! You're amazing and so good at your job. Congrats on 3 years of this beautiful business you're growing business!

    Shelby Lynn Events's reply:

    Ahhh Samm!! Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words! It was so much fun planning with you Nate and feel so honored to not only call you all one of my best couples but also dear friends! xoxo!

    DJ at wedding

    Look no further, this is a vendor taking. I had the honor and pleasure of working alongside Shelby Lynn Events in 2022 for my first wedding of the year. From my experience as a DJ/attendee of countless weddings, I know coordinators can make or break the event. Shelby and her staff worked around a literal snow storm in March to make sure the couple’s ceremony, cocktail hr & reception ran as smooth and efficiently as possible. Helping us kick off this wedding year with a bang! Hope I get to work together with her again soon!

    The help I didn't know I needed

    Originally, I tried to plan my wedding by myself but after a number of issues with my venue my mom convinced me to hire a coordinator. The moment I brought Shelby on board things started falling into place. She knew the questions to ask that I hadn't even thought of. She helped straighten out the issues I was having with my venue and went to bat for me multiple times to get the services we had paid for from our vendors. If you want somebody who will be in your corner every step of the way, then hire Shelby. She was always so quick to respond to every email, text, phone call. She went above and beyond her duties to make sure everything was how we wanted it. Our wedding day was an absolute dream and Shelby and her team handled everything flawlessly! Not to mention Shelby was also my florist and brought my romantic/timeless vibe to life. I would not have been able to have the wedding of my dreams if it wasn't for Shelby!

    Shelby Lynn Events's reply:

    Jordan, thank you so much for your sweet words! ❤️ It was such a joy and an honor to bring the vision you and Stephen had for your wedding day to life! Wishing you guys all the love and happiness for many years to come!

    Shelby is the wedding planner every bride NEEDS for her wedding day!


    I’m a person who doesn’t open up or trust very easily or quickly, but from the moment a friend of mine recommended Shelby as the wedding planner for my big day, I immediately saw her experience, professionalism and care shine through our initial video call and that first impression only got better over time.

    Shelby took so much time to get to know me and my husband, my plans for our dream wedding, and how she could help in anyway to execute every detail. She cared for what I wanted my day to be like and she never shied away to remind me that it was my day and no one was going to take that away from me. Over time, she wasn’t just a wedding planner but a wonderful friend I could rely on to ensure that what I wanted and my feelings towards anything mattered.

    Every wedding has its drama and BOY did mine have exactly that! Shelby, out of the kindness of her heart, took time out of her days to check up on me and ask how she could help alleviate any stress. I realized I wasn’t paying a planner who was there to do a job, I had invested in a person who cared for me and the work she did. I even called and texted her almost every day during the week leading up to my wedding, and she answered every time. The biggest stress for me was finding a plan B for pictures since it was going to rain and I had planned to take them outside at a park. My heart sank but Shelby made it her mission to find a beautiful back up location and she totally delivered- it was 10000% more romantic and more intimate than our original idea.

    On my wedding day, I was smiling through everything. My make up artist even commented on how she had never seen a bride so relaxed and I told her it’s because I had put all trust in my wedding planner, Shelby.

    Every detail I had for the ceremony, pictures, cocktail hour and reception came to life. Shelby’s attention to detail was evident in how she set up each space. I was in tears when I saw it all! I got compliments weeks after the event and it was all because of her My day was absolutely perfect and I know for a fact Shelby played one of the biggest roles in it!

    If I haven’t already stressed how wonderful and thoughtful she is, I will then add this fun little fact. At the end of the night, Shelby surprised us with a mason jar filled with water. She explained to my husband and I that she had put it out in the rain during our reception to capture our wedding day rain for our keeping. Once again, I was in tears! I would have never thought to ask or do something so meaningful and Shelby had done that without being prompted to do so!

    Shelby is a dream to work with. She’s such a rare find in a wedding industry filled with people there just to do a job. She will spend the time and energy to make sure you are made special and that your day is special because it truly is YOUR day! She will make timelines, work with vendors, communicate with the wedding party, organize contracts, remake timelines, conduct a walkthrough, help you plan and re-plan, set up wedding decor, take down decor, create floral arrangements, and be there for you every step of the way; she truly does it all! I’m recommending Shelby to every bride I’ll ever know because no wedding day is complete without her!!

    Oh em gee 😭🥰😭🥰😭

    Meghan, this is the most thoughtful review! Thank you so much, this means the absolute world to me ❤️ thank you so much for trusting me with your day! You were so on top of your plans and what you envisioned for the day that it made putting it all together that much easier! You guys are the best ❤️❤️

    Best Wedding Planner Ever

    Shelby was our planner for our September wedding, and is absolutely incredible! Our whole day ran so smoothly, and every detail was perfect! I was so stressed planning, and as soon as I hired Shelby, I knew the wedding was in great hands! She is incredibly responsive, and so organized, which meant I could just focus on the fun stuff. I’m so grateful that because of Shelby I was able to be so present on the wedding day, and not have to think at all about the details.

    Shelby Lynn Events's reply:

    You and Adam are the *dream* couple!! Being a part of your day was such an honor and your family was simply the best! Being welcomed with open arms and the sweetest compliments throughout the night was such a blessing! Thank you for trusting me with your vision and allowing me to be a part of your special day!

    Shelby was everything I didn’t know I needed!

    Shelby was simply amazing! She was so attentive and listened to every little detail. She made each of my ideas come to life on our wedding day. When I got overwhelmed, she was right there asking how she could step in to help. She kept me on track with vendors, making decisions, and always full of helpful suggestions. I would highly recommend choosing Shelby as your wedding planner. You can feel the passion she puts into her work and I believe all bride’s need someone like her who they can trust to make their special day everything they dreamed of! Thank you again for all you did to make Jason and I’s wedding such a beautiful day!

    Shelby Lynn Events's reply:

    Jillian, thank you *so* much for the kind words! You and Jason are seriously the best and it was such an honor to be a part of your day! It was such a joy working with all your vendors and your sweet family who also did so much to make the day possible! Wishing you and Jason all the love!

    Shelby Lynn Events was phenomenal! Shelby is compassionate, hard working, extremely talented and creative. Look nowhere else when searching for your wedding coordinator because Shelby has everything you’ll need! I couldn’t imagine our wedding without her. She’s organized and made my wedding day the best day of my life. I didn’t have to worry because she handled everything perfectly and professionally.

    I couldn’t have done it without her!

    Thank you Shelby ❤️❤️❤️

    Great planner or Greatest planner?

    Shelby is who you need to make your day as special as possible! She assisted us with our wedding planning, and day-of coordination. She was very organized and on top of it all! Not only did she execute the details and schedule to perfection, she arranged our flowers, helped with the food arrangement, and went above and beyond in every way! We know our day would not have gone as smoothly had she not been an integral part of it! We so appreciate Shelby and her skills!

    Able to be guests at our own wedding.

    As a wedding coordinator I knew just how vital it was to have a professional, organized and detail oriented wedding coordinator for our wedding day. I hired Shelby based on word of mouth and recommendations from others. Shelby took all the wedding planning stress away. Not only during the planning process but the day of the wedding as well. My husband and I were able to be guests at our own wedding because of Shelby and all of her hard work. We knew that if anything went wrong that Shelby had our backs. I recommend Shelby because she is a wedding professional that cares about the couple and their vision. She also cares about each guest as if they were her own friends and family. Shelby was a key part to our wedding day and we couldn’t imagine our big day without her.

    Pamela, you are the sweetest!! Thank you for your kind words! Such an honor to be a part of your big day!
