Testimonials

I wanted to have a perfect wedding, and I had no clue what to do to make that happen. I have never been married before, and not many of my friends are married, so I had no information. I had heard stories about hiring the wrong vendors and I did not want to make that mistake. That is when we decided we needed a wedding planner. I did some research and everything pointed to Shannon at Wedding Planning Plus. We met her one evening and instantly knew she was the one! She was very knowledgeable and had some creative ideas.

The main service she provided to us, was giving us a connection to vendors that she has seen work before. This was the most important thing to us. She went to all the meetings with us and gave us advice based on what we told her we wanted. We ended up with fantastic vendors, including a reception hall, DJ and photographer.

After a couple months of planning our wedding in NY, I found out we were moving out of state. Shannon always made me comfortable being far away and planning a wedding. We got all the big planning finished before we moved (like hiring all the vendors), and only had to focus on the small things once we moved. It was a seamless process, and many people at the wedding couldn't believe we planned such a gorgeous wedding living 3 states away!

If I ever needed her, for anything, she was always there. I could send her a frantic email one minute and the next minute she would respond and completely put me at ease. She was always in contact, but never over-bearing. She was understanding and always patient.

I don't know how my wedding would have turned out without her guidance throughout the year of planning. If you are planning your wedding, you need Shannon on your team!

I had already been engaged for over 6 months when I found Shannon. Over the course of those 6 months I did very little planning. I had no idea where to start. So I contacted Shannon and started by asking her to suggest some vendors. We met up at Shannon's premiere meeting location (PANERA!!) and she went over some wedding venues with me. This I admit was an unusual first meeting. There was no guarantee i would be booking her, but she spent a full hour with us showing us pictures on her laptop of some of the places she'd worked with. There's no pressure here, and that's exactly what initially drew me in.

So over the course of my planning with Shannon I was probably one of the neediest clients she worked with. I would not be exaggerating if I said I contacted her daily, especially toward the end. Whenever a big decision was coming up, I'd drill her for advice and guidance. She was available through several mediums - phone, text, Facebook, Myspace, email and I took advantage of each of them throughout the planning process. It is in my nature to feel guilty or uneasy about contacting someone so much, but I never thought twice about doing this with Shannon. She was more than happy to help. Her kindness and patience puts you at ease. She became not only my wedding planner, but a good friend who stood unwavering by my side for an entire year.

The only thing I can take credit for, the only things I did entirely on my own, were choose my wedding dress, my groom (maybe not in that order) and show up on the wedding day. Everything else had a touch of Shannon's brilliant planning abilities. My wedding was this past weekend, and it was beautiful and flawless. Easily the best day of my life. Would I do it all again? Absolutely. Without Shannon? Never.

Shannon, you are absolutely fabulous and extremely skilled at what you do. Not only have you helped me through this crazy process of wedding planning, but you've been my friend, my ally, my confidante, and my help line when things get too overwhelming. I can't say enough about your ability to choose, negotiate and work with vendors-- even the difficult ones. You are patient, responsible and professional... exactly what you need a wedding planner to be. Now I just have to figure out what I am going to do without you when my wedding is over...

"I wanted to write you quickly to thank you for your patience and help the day of the wedding AND to thank you for the watercolor of Broadway. We finally had a chance to open all of our gifts this morning. Both Justin and I love the picture and can't wait to hang it up in our new apartment. It was an absolutely perfect gift and goes to show how well you know your clients. Thank you again...."
