Lindsay Sent on 10/24/2025The best of the best, could not recommend more!
It is so hard to put into words how amazing Stephanie Shaul is as a human being and as a wedding designer and planner. From our first meeting to months after our wedding day, she has been the biggest encourager supporting us on our journey into marriage! The first question she asked me on our initial phone call was “tell me about you two as a couple and your love story,” and that is truly what sets her apart! Her love of marriage and dedication to her couples in unmatched.
She is so kind, joyful, and immediately felt like a best friend. She made planning my wedding one of the most fun and enjoyable things I have ever done! I never felt overwhelmed by the process and Stephanie outlined everything so clearly and sent me reminders when I needed them. As a busy resident physician planning and out-of-state wedding, this was a life saver! She also provided so many words of encouragement, thoughtful gifts, and personal touches throughout the entire journey which meant so much to us.
She perfectly understood my vision and truly made it come to life beyond anything I could have imagined. She incorporated our style and story into every detail, from the Save the Dates to the late-night snack! Our wedding felt so unique to us, and that is all thanks to Stephanie.
Her organization is also top notch—every vendor I used commented on how impressed they were with her outlines and details for the day. It made me feel like I truly had the best of the best on my side. She kept a detailed budget and made sure that everything was optimized for the most effective use of our money. She even provided color coded, minute-by-minute outlines for each group (parents, bridesmaids, groomsmen, etc.) for us to send out for the wedding weekend. She handled our large wedding party with ease and was always so kind to our loved ones.
Stephanie helped us go “off the grid” the week of our wedding so we did not have to think about a single wedding detail and were able to enjoy an entire week with our friends and family. We only reached out to her for a last-minute idea we had, which she then carried out perfectly! Everyone kept saying after the fact that there was not a single bump in the road or unexpected issue on the wedding day. Stephanie and her team were efficient, organized, and a well-oiled machine!
We could not recommend Stephanie Shaul Events enough. If you are looking for a cheerleader to walk alongside you as you plan your wedding (who also happens execute beautiful designs with meaningful touches seamlessly and to perfection) look no further! -

I was so nervous when I started trying to plan our wedding since I had never even thought about what I wanted and I had no idea where to start. It really seemed like a daunting task to figure out which of the hundreds of vendors we should go with and ensure all the tiny details came together and on time. Stephanie took all of my worries away and helped me actually have fun during the planning process! She has so much experience it feels like second nature to her, and every vendor she suggested ended up being amazing!
Not only is she fantastic at her job, she is also one of the sweetest and most genuine people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. She always has a smile on her face and absolutely radiates positivity! You can really tell that she puts her heart and soul into planning a wedding and treats it with as much care and consideration as she would if she was planning her own. My mom (who was skeptical about getting a wedding planner at first) was blown away with all the work Stephanie put into our wedding and by the end of it, she was telling everyone we know about how hiring Stephanie was the best decision we made for our wedding!
Every compliment we got on the beautiful little details on our wedding day I would answer with "that was Stephanie's idea!" She took what little I had about my vision for our wedding (the color green) and turned it into a breathtaking masterpiece that was perfect for us. Before working with Stephanie, I was worried about so many little things that could go wrong, but right at our first meeting, I could tell she knew exactly what she was doing and we were in the best hands! A piece of advice we received often while planning the wedding was "something will always go wrong and you can't control that, you just have to not let it get to you and focus on all the good things." I'm not even exaggerating when I say that not even one little thing went wrong on our entire wedding day. Not only that, we didn't have to do a single thing besides get ready and get married because Stephanie had planned out the whole day down to the smallest detail! I am confident that hiring Stephanie as our wedding planner was the best decision we made for our wedding, and we couldn't have done it without her! -

As we come up on our first wedding anniversary, we have been thinking back on our wedding day and wedding planning process. Words cannot describe how amazing Stephanie Shaul and her team are! They made our every dream come true! Throughout the planning process Stephanie was absolutely amazing! She is so well organized and has such an eye for wedding design, she made the process stress free and so fun! My family, husband, and I all worked very closely with her for a little over a year leading up to the wedding day. She took our vision of what we wanted and made it even better than we had thought it could be! We all continuously agreed that she was such a blessing to us through the process and the best planner we could ever have! On the day of our wedding everyone was stress free and just enjoying the day. I had previously worked wedding and so I knew how flustered wedding days can be, but Stephanie had everything planned out so well that everyone knew where to be when and no one felt stressed at all. Her day of team was absolutely amazing as well! We had a large bridal party and they all kept us on time and were so helpful. Not only is Stephanie the best planner I’ve ever worked with in a wedding assistant and bride capacity, she is truly a most wonderful person! She is so sweet and has such a kind heart. We often met for coffee to catch up and she answered any questions we may have had as they came up. We just feel so honored and blessed to have had her as part of our big day! Without her it would not have been as beautiful, perfect, or memorable! She truly took our vision and made it even more perfect as well as helped us add so many special pieces to tie in our families. I can’t recommend her enough!!! If you’re on the fence about booking a wedding planner, DO IT!! And most importantly book with Stephanie Shaul!! -

If you're dreaming of a wedding that feels like it’s straight from your Pinterest board, look no further than Stephanie. From start to finish, she made our summer coastal wedding an absolute dream come true.
From our very first consultation, it was clear that Stephanie had a deep understanding of our vision and a remarkable talent for turning it into reality. She took the time to get to know us and our preferences, and then brought them to life with such grace and attention to detail.
Our venue was transformed into a magical setting, with elegant, yet fun and colorful decor that perfectly complemented our venue. The floral arrangements were nothing short of breathtaking, and the way Stephanie integrated the juicy pink summer colors into every element was truly impressive.
One of the most remarkable things about Stephanie and her team was their ability to handle every detail seamlessly. From coordinating with vendors to managing the timeline, they ensured that everything ran smoothly and effortlessly. We never had to worry about a thing -- they handled it all with such professionalism and care, which allowed us to truly enjoy our special day.
The personal touches that Stephanie included made our wedding feel uniquely ours. Every guest was in awe of the stunning setup and the flawless execution of our vision.
If you want a wedding planner who is not only skilled but also genuinely passionate about making your day extraordinary, Stephanie is the one. She exceeded our expectations in every way, and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding. Thank you, Stephanie Shaul Events, for making our dream wedding a reality!

Couldn't have done it without her!
We had the absolute pleasure of working with Stephanie to plan our wedding, and can confidently say that hiring her was the best decision when it came to our wedding. Stephanie went above and beyond time and time again to make our wedding day everything we could have hoped it to be and more.
From the beginning, Stephanie impressed us not only with her exceptional organizational skills, but her warm personality and dedication to the two of us as people. She is incredibly detail-oriented and ensures that every aspect of the wedding planning process is taken care of and always checked in about how we were feeling. We felt that we could whole-heartedly trust her recommendations and advice, which enabled us to make quick decisions. Although we knew Stephanie had other couples she was working with, we never felt that our event was less of a priority to her. It gave us peace of mind that she was always thinking four or five steps ahead of us throughout the planning process.
One of Stephanie's most remarkable qualities is her personalized approach. Her genuine care for us as a couple and sincere interest in our marriage made the entire process incredibly meaningful. Stephanie is not just a wedding planner; she is a friend who cares deeply about the people she works with.
Stephanie's flexibility and ability to pivot based on feedback made it easy for us to give her our opinions. She is not only great at running with your ideas but also at providing alternative options to ensure that we were getting what we wanted. What I appreciated most was her frankness when it came to things that may not be worth the cost. She respected our budget and made sure that every decision was consistent with our priorities.
Despite the looming threat of torrential downpour for an outdoor wedding, she had multiple contingency plans in place. We were fortunate to have Plan 'A' work, but Stephanie's preparedness with three other plans demonstrated her dedication to ensuring everything went smoothly. Stephanie and her assistants were unflappable the day of the wedding and to this day we have no idea if anything went wrong behind the scenes.
In the end, Stephanie met and continually exceeded our expectations. She took our loose ideas and turned them into the wedding of our dreams. Her creativity, dedication, and passion for her work will make her an outstanding planner for any couple. We wholeheartedly recommend Stephanie to anyone seeking a planner who not only plans weddings but also cares deeply about the people and the love they celebrate. Working with her was incredible and we are forever grateful for the beautiful memories she helped create on our special day.

Morgan Sent on 01/29/2024The gift of being present
It is hard to imagine our wedding planning experience without Stephanie behind the scenes every step of the way! She is the best wedding planner for many reasons (incredibly thoughtful, responsive, meticulous, well-connected to vendors, etc.). The greatest gift, however, and the one I believe sets her apart from other planners, is that her incredible skillset throughout the process allowed us to be fully PRESENT. Through each decision, Stephanie was one step ahead, taking all our dreams and preferences to create the most beautiful wedding design, while allowing us to take in the details but ultimately focus more on preparing for our marriage than just our wedding day. When the day finally came, it was more than we could have imagined, with every detail far surpassing our vision or "dream." But what I love the most is that I remember our wedding day so clearly. We had full confidence in Stephanie to execute the day and never had to worry about the details because we knew already we were in good hands. Stephanie’s plan and care for us allowed us to be fully present with our loved ones throughout the entire day. There was never a sense of feeling rushed, wondering if we were “following the timeline,” or feeling like the day was a blur, as many people who have planned weddings before may tell you. Instead, we were present, peaceful, and remember the day and its details vividly. This is the greatest gift--to remember the sermon spoken and the vows we made, the conversations had with family and friends from far away during cocktail hour, the taste of our first meal as husband and wife, the songs that we danced like crazy to all night long, and so many other special moments. Stephanie made this possible for us and we are so grateful! -

I truly do not have enough wonderful things to say about Stephanie! She is an incredibly gifted planner and designer, and made our wedding planning process joyful, engaging, and seamless. I could not have done it without her!
From the beginning, Stephanie prioritized getting to know my husband and I so that our day could truly be a reflection of the things that we love and hold dear. She was incredibly intentional about making not only our wedding day, but also our wedding planning process a joy-filled and meaningful experience. Her attention to detail is unparalleled, and she has a phenomenal eye for design. Stephanie went above and beyond in every aspect of our wedding design, creating and implementing a stunning design plan that completely exceeded any expectation. She also incorporated fun surprises and personal touches throughout the day. Our ceremony and reception were seamless thanks to her and her team's professionalism and preparation. My family and I were so relaxed the day of the wedding knowing that all the details were in Stephanie's hands. It was clear that she is deeply respected by both her team and our fantastic group of vendors!
Most importantly, Stephanie is incredibly gracious, warm, joyful, intelligent, confident, and hard-working. She became a cherished friend to my family and I throughout this process. There is truly no one better! -

Adelyn Sent on 07/07/2023Stephanie is one of the very best
I have had the joy of working with Stephanie as the photographer for her events a handful of times, and it is always a joy. Her attention to detail is second to none. Throughout the planning process, every single thing is thought of and accounted for all while being communicated clearly, quickly, and with the most calm and happiest spirit. What makes Stephanie so special is that it isn't just her gorgeous designs, or how excellent she is at keeping everything running smoothly, it's the joyful and calm spirit she brings to everything she does. Stephanie is someone you want to always be around and someone you can trust wholeheartedly. She loves her clients and treats them as family which shows throughout the entire experience. I adore working with her and cannot recommend her planning expertise enough. If you have the opportunity to work with Stephanie, do so. You will be in excellent hands with someone who is so capable and cares so much. -

June Wedding 2023
I cannot imagine my daughter's wedding without Stephanie. From the very beginning Stephanie was enthusiastic, responsive, kind, encouraging, creative, and completely dedicated. Through out the process, Stephanie was everything I wasn't. When I couldn't make decisions, she processed things with me. When I wasn't creative, she went above and beyond with perfect design ideas. When I was focused on my family, she was focused on making sure everything happened perfectly. When I couldn't choose a vendor, she would talk me through all of the options. When the bride was trying to finish college, graduate, take on a new job, and a move to a new city, Stephanie was steady, decisive and loving. When I couldn't remember anything the week of the wedding, Stephanie remembered everything. As a mother of the bride, I enjoyed my family, spent time with my friends and danced all night long. What a joy it was to be worry free for the entire thing. Stephanie has a heart for the Lord, a heart for marriage and an extremely talented eye for design. Everything was gorgeous and seamlessly executed. I am forever in debt to Stephanie for making our one and only daughter's wedding so beautiful, so incredibly joyful, and so stress free. THANKFUL!!! -

Danielle Sent on 11/14/2021Hands down, the BEST wedding planner.
It's not often you find someone who brings so much joy into everything that they do. Throughout 2 years, Stephanie was instrumental in helping us plan our intimate wedding ceremony last year and our full wedding celebration this year. Joy truly radiates through everything she does and her attention to detail is unmatched. Through the design and planning process, she was an expert in navigating the various contract changes from pushing our wedding reception date, brought thoughtful and inspired design concepts, and was always open to hearing our thoughts and feedback. We knew we could reach out to Stephanie any time via email or text and we would receive a prompt thoughtful reply. On the day of each event, we never had to worry about a single thing as we had full confidence in Stephanie and her team had everything under control. From watching her interactions with all of our vendors, you can tell that everyone truly loves being able to work with her to bring our dreams to life. Stephanie is truly a top-notch planner and we would highly encourage anyone to use her services. -

Caroline Sent on 09/01/2021The best decision besides the groom! : )
I would give Stephanie Shaul Events 1,000 stars if I could. From our initial meeting to our wedding day, and all the days in-between and even after, Stephanie was simply excellent. I 100% recommend her and could not think more highly of her.
What initially struck me about Stephanie was her joy and enthusiasm, backed by her command of her profession. She not only brings with her an excitement for details and a true passion for her work, but also an aura of confidence and control. As someone who did not have a vision in mind when entering the wedding planning process, Stephanie listened attentively to my thoughts and disjointed ideas, and was able to organize, refine, and develop what turned into the most beautiful wedding day I could have imagined. I completely trusted her and she absolutely delivered.
Working with Stephanie almost felt too good to be true. I absolutely think she can accomplish in one day what would take the average person 10. She is extremely responsive and always made me feel like the most important person on her schedule, even though she was always juggling multiple weddings. In addition, her organizational skills are incredible. As a somewhat type-A person myself, I was constantly blown away by her preparation. She brought a deck to nearly every meeting, providing options and images to bring an idea to life. When I could not decide on bridesmaids dress colors, she found photos of various colors and styles and cropped them into pictures with my wedding dress so that I could see what I liked best. No detail was too large or small for Stephanie to handle, and if it caused me stress in any way, she was determined to solve it. Unlike stories I had heard from friends about their wedding planners, she never made me feel pressured, was endlessly patient with me (I think she ended up taking a poll on her Instagram to help me decide colors), and made me feel valued and respected throughout the process.
Stephanie was not only attentive to me, but she also clearly valued her relationship with every vendor. Having her in a meeting felt like being with a celebrity. Her knowledge of everything from obscure flowers to linen textures was encyclopedic. I think every vendor complimented her on her preparation, knowledge, and attitude.
I ended up working with Stephanie for nearly two years due to the pandemic and I am so grateful to her. I will miss seeing her name pop up in my inbox but am happy to know she will be making other couples wedding day’s a dream come true. I only hope I encounter her again on the wedding circuit.
I am envious of all who start their journey with Stephanie, you will be in the very best hands! -

Corinne Sent on 09/07/2020Absolutely amazing--truly the best of the best
Stephanie is an absolute dream to have as a wedding planner and I cannot recommend her enough. She is everything that one looks for in a great planner--she's organized, she's responsive, she's professional, her pricing is beyond reasonable, etc. but she is SO much more. She is thoughtful, kind, flexible, joyful and so gracious. She makes wedding planning feel stress-free and fun--even during a pandemic.
While Stephanie is based out of Raleigh, she does travel and I am SO glad she does. Even though my wedding was not in NC, I knew from the very beginning that Stephanie was the perfect fit to plan our wedding. She exceeded my expectations and did a phenomenal job even from another state! She made it a priority to come up multiple times for meetings, to see my venue, accompany us to other vendor visits and used her expertise to help us select all the best vendors. I can't recommend her enough to anyone planning a wedding in the Carolinas or Virginia.
Going into wedding planning, I had a disjointed vision of what I wanted the day to look like. Stephanie listened carefully to all my thoughts and ideas, pulled together a beautiful design board and then made it even better than what we could heave ever imagined. While I wasn't fully sure what I wanted the day to look like, I absolutely knew how I wanted it to feel--I wanted it to be full of life and joy and love. Stephanie understood exactly what I envisioned and made it into a day that exceeded my expectations.
Throughout the process, she made me, my now-husband and my family feel so honored and cared for. She bent over backwards as we navigated changing wedding plans in the midst of a pandemic. She pivoted plans swiftly--when we found out my state would go on a COVID lockdown that would extend past my original wedding date, Stephanie found the new 'magic date' within 18 hours of the governor's announcement. She was able to reschedule every single vendor for this new date in less than a day and, therefore, made it exponentially less stressful for us.
Just like in planning, Stephanie went above and beyond to make us feel so loved and cared for on the wedding day. She helped us make several changes that would allow for us to have a very safe gathering in the midst of COVID. She was thoughtful in the precautions and kept our safety, the safety of our guests and the safety of all our vendors as her top priority. She made me, my husband and our dear family and friends feel so cared for throughout the entire time. She has this magic ability to find the perfect balance between staying organized and on top of everything while also giving us space to simply enjoy our day.
I feel so grateful to have had Stephanie as my wedding planner and highly recommend her to anyone who wants a fun, stress-free wedding planning process and then an absolutely gorgeous, memorable and perfect wedding day to start your marriage. I would highly recommend Stephanie to my dearest friends and encourage anyone in the Carolina/VA area to plan their date around Stephanie's availability! -

Ali U. Sent on 05/16/2020Stephanie was a dream to work with!
Choosing Stephanie to be our wedding planner was the best decision we made in our wedding planning process! I had seen some of her work previously, and I knew when we got engaged that I wanted her to help plan our dream wedding.
Stephanie made our entire planning process an absolute breeze. She has such great relationships with other wedding vendors and was able to give great recommendations for our vendors based on our budget and style. It was so comforting to have her along for the whole planning process to guide us in our decisions and answer our many questions along the way.
After our wedding day, our family and friends had so many compliments and good things to say about our wedding, and our answer was always - "It was all Stephanie!" We were so, so relaxed on our wedding day knowing that every detail was taken care of. It was evident throughout the planning process that Stephanie loves her job, but on the day of the wedding she exuded so much joy and positivity in everything she did. When my dress tore down the front 10 minutes after I put it on, Stephanie didn't waver for a second! She told me it was all going to be okay, kept me calm, and transformed into a seamstress, pinning my torn dress and reassuring me that I still looked gorgeous.
We said it the entire 15 months of our engagement, working with Stephanie Shaul Events was the best decision and investment we made for our special day. -

Simply the Best!
I can't even begin to say enough wonderful things about Stephanie Shaul! She made the wedding planning process an absolute joy and hiring her is the best decision that you can make as a bride.
Stephanie continuously and consistently went above and beyond in all ways as we planned our August wedding. First, as we began the planning process, Stephanie took time to genuinely get to know me, my now husband Chris, and our families. And what a joy it was to get to know Stephanie in return - her sweet, sincere, and kind personality made the process so enjoyable. She has a true gift for wedding planning + design and she celebrates her brides and couples so well. She incorporated every idea and integrated every small decision, bringing our wedding dream to life!
Not only did Stephanie's presence and warm personality calm us throughout the process, but her attention to detail and knowledge put us immediately at ease. She seamlessly pulled together the many, many small details to bring our vision to life on our wedding day. She incorporated every idea, answered every question, was always available, and guided us expertly through each decision. She also introduced us to other fantastic vendors who came together to make our wedding weekend a dream. On the day-of, everything ran flawlessly thanks to Stephanie's excellent planning and her minute-by-minute itinerary. I didn't have a single worry on the wedding day and she allowed me, Chris, and our families to truly enjoy the experience and soak up every moment!
Stephanie was such a gift to us and I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Amy Sent on 04/29/2019Stephanie Shaul for the Wedding Win!
Let me begin by saying that Stephanie is the best investment you will make towards your wedding day and an enjoyable engagement season. From the beginning, Stephanie was extremely engaged with my wedding despite having several other upcoming weddings on her calendar simultaneously. She was responsive to every little question whether nine months out or one week away, and she always communicated her out-of-office dates and other wedding commitments well in advance, and these commitments never jeopardized my planning. She always made me feel like I was her one and only bride!
As some of the other reviews have noted, Stephanie really cares for her couples and their families. She is able to tactfully and kindly manage differing interests and opinions from various parties (bride and groom, parents, bridal party, guests, etc.) and somehow please everyone in the end. She was extremely valuable in helping us manage our budget, even after I had overcommitted on some expenses. Although the guest count was out of her control, she helped us identify controllable expenses and steer us back on track, and we ended up right under budget thanks to several creative ideas on her end. Additionally, she is well-connected with numerous vendors and can help negotiate the best rates.
On my actual wedding day, my AC unit broke and my nails got ruined, and as a result I had to show up three hours later than planned to the church. Despite this, neither my bridal party nor I missed a beat because Stephanie was able to accommodate these unforeseen hiccups into our schedule seamlessly. Our day was still unrushed and exactly as planned. When we arrived at our reception, Stephanie had appetizers waiting for us in a private room so that we could catch a breath and grab a bite before being introduced. She also ensured that our dinner plates were already prepared at our sweetheart table, so unlike most couples, we were actually able to eat peacefully at our reception. I never once had to visit the bar or buffet as my glass and plate were never empty! I had several bags and miscellaneous items with me during the day, and she ensured they were all transported to the right places and packed in our getaway car at the end of the night.
The gist of my experience is that Stephanie was on top of every single detail, even those I was unaware of. She is the only reason I could sleep in the weeks leading up to our wedding and the reason I could go relax and attend a wine-tasting the night before our rehearsal instead of pulling my hair out over last minute wedding details. I admit that my parents and I are “high maintenance” due to extremely high standards, perfectionism and staunch attention to detail. We were all immensely thrilled with the results of Stephanie’s hard work, and my mom said the wedding day was better than she ever could have imagined for her only daughter. We will sing Stephanie’s praises forever for such a memorable day for our family.

Alex Sent on 08/07/2018Multiple times on my wedding weekend, I told our bridal party -- "Stephanie is an ANGEL and she is IN CHARGE." A month after our big day, I stand by both of those statements, and I would strongly urge any bride out there to LET HER BE A PART OF YOUR BIG DAY.
It was clear from the beginning that Stephanie's priorities were, first, genuinely celebrating our marriage and, second, ensuring that WE got to do the same (instead of fretting over details or schedules). The first gift that Stephanie brought to us time and time again was simply her excitement and genuine delight in our marriage (not our wedding, but our marriage). She took the time to get to know us as a couple, and me (the bride) as an individual before beginning any planning piece of the weekend.
The second gift she brought was her knowledge of the wedding planning process. Stephanie was our saving grace in making sure everything was scheduled and not a single detail was missed. I am somewhat of a control-freak, but I had absolutely no issues giving things over to Stephanie... my mom and I actually joked that Stephanie is the only person in our lives we did not feel inclined to micro-manage, because we trusted her so much. Stephanie was knowledgable, dependable, and strategic in helping us hold and manage a lot of details before the big day, so that we could relax on the big day. No question was a "dumb question," and she consistently responded with grace and easy-to-follow answers/next steps. She made the planning SO easy and amazingly uncomplicated.
Perhaps one of the greatest gifts Stephanie brought to us, though, was her peace and calm the weekend of our wedding. She was IN CHARGE, but she was also SO KIND to everyone at every moment. She made sure not a single detail was missed, and it was clear that her priority was US getting to enjoy our weekend.
My wedding was absolutely perfect, and I fully believe most of that is owed to Stephanie. I cannot recommend her highly enough! -

Alexia Sent on 06/19/2018If you’re getting married, do yourself the biggest favor and hire Stephanie. Trust me. You’ll be so glad that you did.
Stephanie is an absolute gem of a person. I have never met someone as bubbly, encouraging, sweet and just generally fun to be around as Stephanie.
My husband Corey and I got engaged in the Fall of 2016, and after selecting our wedding venue and date, Stephanie was the first vendor we hired. I hadn’t originally planned on having a full wedding planner, but since our venue required us to have at least a day-of coordinator, I was open to the idea of having someone to help with the last-minute details on our wedding day.
After meeting with Stephanie for the first time, my mind was instantly changed. We were hiring Stephanie, and we would hire her to plan during our full 1.5 year engagement, not just as a month or day-of coordinator. She’s that amazing y’all.
Stephanie guided us through our entire engagement and wedding planning process, answering all our questions, providing brilliant ideas, and introducing us to our beyond stellar vendor team. Stephanie (very!) promptly responded to all our emails during the process, and we met in person on many occasions to catch up on all things wedding. After each meeting, I left feeling so at ease and happy, as Stephanie’s genuine excitement for weddings and marriage is truly contagious.
In the days leading up to our wedding, Stephanie was in constant communication with us. She seriously made us feel so comfortable. Even with pending thunderstorms and crazy weather forecasts on the horizon, Stephanie remained positive and encouraging. On the day of the wedding, we were able to show up and truly enjoy every moment of the day knowing that Stephanie had it all under control. The ideas that we had talked about for over a year came to life that day because of her, with every detail perfectly in its place.
We’re so grateful to have had Stephanie as our planner along for this wonderful journey!

Emily Sent on 06/04/2018I can not say enough great things about Stephanie Scholl Events, who planned and coordinated my wedding in April of 2018 and my twin sister's wedding 4 weeks before mine. Being a wedding photographer myself, I've worked with numerous coordinators in the wedding industry and literally none compare to Stephanie. Stephanie and her team were a dream to work with. I had guests come up to me after the wedding and gush about how accommodating and pleasant Stephanie was during the entire day- she didn't stop smiling the whole evening. Even when inevitable issues arose (such as inclement weather) and stress had the opportunity to present itself, Stephanie remained positive and did not transfer that stress to me or my family. Stephanie is hardworking, positive, and professional. If you want assurance that your wedding day will be run well and your planner won't miss a beat, Stephanie is your girl! -

Anna Sent on 02/14/2018I’m not sure where to begin, except to say that Stephanie is a treasure of a person. Between residency, jobs, and moving to a new city far away from our venue in Chapel Hill, my husband and I were engaged for a long 2 and a half years of long distance planning… but Steph was with us every step of the way. She was professional and organized, from her list of trusted vendors to thoughtful design boards for styling the big day. She was always there to answer my questions or provide advice, and whenever we ran into an issue, she never presented the problem without a solution – including finding a new hairdresser for myself, 15 bridesmaids, and 4 aunts at the last minute! When the big day finally came, she not only executed the décor and florals for our dream wedding at the Carolina Inn with a team of amazing vendors, but also seamlessly managed our giant bridal party and families with patience, grace, and enthusiasm. In the end, I can truly say that through all the emails, vendor meetings, and phone calls, Stephanie has become a dear friend. We are so grateful for her friendship and the beautiful memories she helped create!

Megan Sent on 09/28/2016Stephanie Scholl's passion for her client experience, expertise in design and styling, and love for her business is captivating and truly inspiring. It is evident through her work that she strives to create the most joyful and elegant events, incorporating a variety of modern and classic styles. This past year Stephanie has been a mentor during my re-branding process and I simply cannot thank her enough for everything she has done. Since our mentor session this past spring, her encouragement, positivity and support has been one of the most uplifting voices during this experience. We’ve talked about ways to book ideal clients, posting images and text that best represents my brand, networking, the power of Instagram, collaborations, scheduling and transitioning to a full-time business. Her willingness to share advice, experiences and suggestions has helped me to build a business that I am so deeply proud of. I feel so lucky to call Stephanie a mentor, professional peer and most importantly a friend. -

If you're planning a wedding in Raleigh, do yourself a favor and hire Stephanie as your wedding planner!! She was absolutely incredible every step of the way. We did the full service coordinating package with her, so she really got to know us and our story, as well as exactly how we wanted our wedding to be. From the very beginning, she wanted to know three words that would best describe our dream wedding, and it was so clear that she was genuinely invested in making sure our dreams came true. She was such a joy to have around during the wedding festivities and made sure that we were nothing but excited about our upcoming wedding and marriage. Look no further than Stephanie - she is truly the best!
