    1000% worth the investment!

    I’ve always known I wanted a day of coordinator when I got married to avoid extra stress on my big day but Shannon absolutely exceeded our expectation!!! Planners/day of coordinators are an investment but Simply Stunning Events was 1000% worth it! Shannon was an absolute blessing when it came to both the planning of our wedding and being there day of! Her and her team did so much to make our day absolutely amazing in every way!! Shannon is such a caring person who is clearly passionate about making your wedding day everything you dreamed of and more!! We are so so thankful we had her there to have our backs through everything and to handle several issues with our venue prior to, day of, and even after our wedding. Would recommend Simply Stunning Events over and over again!!!

    Amazing!

    Our experience with Shannon as our wedding coordinator was an absolute dream! She helped us plan the most perfect day and made the entire process from start to finish so enjoyable and stress-free. On our wedding day, my mind was at ease knowing Shannon was behind the scenes making everything run seamlessly. Because of her, we were able to truly soak in and ENJOY every moment!

    Shannon is incredibly organized, knowledgeable about the wedding industry, dependable, and such a kind, easygoing person to work with. If you have a vision, she will bring it to life! Her pricing is also very reasonable for the level of service she provides. We would wholeheartedly recommend Simply Stunning Events to anyone planning a wedding!

    Hire Simply Stunning Events now!

    Shannon was absolutely amazing and one of the biggest reasons our day went off without a hitch! We had originally hired Shannon and her team for day of coordination but when we got about 2 months out from the wedding increased our package to the partial planning, which was the best decision we ever made in wedding planning. Shannon and her team are so professional but also friendly and truly amazing to work with. Shannon took our 8 months of booking vendors and turned it into the wedding and reception of our dreams. If you are on the fence about hiring a coordinator you will absolutely not regret hiring this team to assist with your wedding! I don’t know how they keep everything straight but I can tell you she didn’t miss a single detail and even helped plan all of our DIY decor. This team is amazing!!

    Absolutely Fabulous Wedding!

    Shannon was highly professional from A to Z! I chose to work with her because I was very impressed by her offering of clearly defined packages in her first message, and had no regrets. Her follow-through was better than I could have imagined! She was thoughtful and thorough, and it's clear that she absolutely loves her job. She made the process so easy and took a huge weight off of my shoulders. She's got great taste in decor and high quality vendor contacts. We served pizza, a bit unconventional, but she found a great solution to keep it warm during the reception. She does a great job of listening to clients' needs and she made sure we had a stress-free special day!

    Thank you so much for all the kind words! It was such a pleasure working with you & Mike to make the day exactly what you were hoping for!

    Look no further for a hassle-free wedding!!!

    We LOVED working with Shannon!! Her hard-working personality and attention to detail made it so that we could enjoy each other’s company without having to worry about the million nuts and bolts that go into wedding planning! Shannon is pleasant, thorough, and diligent, and we truly couldn’t have achieved our dream wedding without her guidance, her knowledge, and her professionalism. Everything was perfect and we didn’t break a sweat due to her meticulous frame-working skills! We felt very involved with the process without doing any of the difficult tasks- it sounds too good to be true, but we mean it! That’s the experience you get. We couldn’t be more thankful or recommend Simply Stunning Events more! 🫶✨

    Best wedding planner to have!

    I can't say enough amazing things about Shannon. She went above and beyond the call of a wedding planner. She was very involved in everything and her communication was the best I have ever had. Not only that, but she is an incredibly kind person to work with. Every vender I had stated how great she was to work with and my guests also thought she was so incredibly nice and wonderful at my wedding. There were unforeseen circumstances on my wedding day that Shannon took in stride and took care of without me having to give a single worry on my wedding day. Again there aren't enough kind words I could say about Shannon and much I would absolutely brag on her to everyone I know. I truly believe she is one of the best wedding planners there are. If you are getting married I without a doubt recommend a wedding planner, and you will be more than impressed if you go with Shannon at Simple Stunning Events.

    Simply Stunning Events's reply:

    Mandie you are too kind! It was my absolutely pleasure working with you. Taking the extra steps as a planner is what I do, and I was so happy I got to be a part of your celebration!

    Wedding May 20th, 2023

    I wish Shannon could receive more than just five stars!! Her love for planning events does not go unnoticed, she shines when she’s doing what she loves! And we were so lucky to have her all the days before our wedding and our wedding day. She assisted us with finding vendors for our wedding and thought of things that I wouldn’t had even thought of for planning a wedding. I hear many brides/grooms stressing about their big day, I truly believe my husband and I did not have that because of Shannon. When I got engaged I told myself I could do it all myself and would never spend the money, trust me it’s worth your stress! Book Shannon! This is suppose to be the happiest day of your life and with her by your side it will be!!

    Stress Free Every Step of the Way

    Shannon’s attention to detail was over the top. Her experience clearly shows as she gave great advice through the entire planning process, from vendors, to catering, to every minute of a detailed timeline she truly knows all things in wedding coordination.

    Communication was fast and easy.

    When rain came 30 minutes before our outdoor ceremony, she communicated above and beyond to all vendors and incoming guests. She was ready with new plan immediately, and it was a flawless transition. We were still able to have an outdoor ceremony!

    We truly cannot thank Shannon enough for how much she has helped us create the most beautiful memories. She was THE most important part of planning. We were honored to have you part of our special day!

    A wonderful experience

    Shannon is your go to wedding coordinator. She will begin working from day one to ensure your wedding is fabulous. We have had the pleasure of working with Shannon twice in the past two and a half years. She has fabulous ideas and listens to what you want your day to be like. Shannon is easy going and has a vibrant personality. She is professional, a strong communicator, and gets things done right away! We are so happy with the job she did and how smoothly our events went!

    Shannon Stephany

    If you are planning a wedding there is no one else I would recommend other than Shannon Stephany. Without her we would have been totally lost and unorganized. She is THE BEST!
