Imaginative Creations by Shanelle

I was referred to Shanelle Walker by a close friend of mine at the beginning of my engagement but because of budgeting reasons we decided to hold back on hiring a planner. I spent several months trying to take on this project on my own but after various break downs I knew I needed to get some help,lol! Shanelle came on the scene like super women! She knew what to say and what to do to make me feel at ease. Shanelle took her time to understand the type of bride I was and what my vision was for my wedding. Shanelle was only a text away when we needed her help and always responded in a timely fashion. Shanelle also did a great job keeping us within budget throughout our wedding experience. Shanelle also introduced us to an array of great quality vendors who understood the importance of our special day. Shanelle displayed great consistency and professionalism throughout this process. On the day of our wedding Shanelle and her team made sure it was a worry free day for us and took on any challenges that came our way. I truly respect the work of Imaginative Creations and hope for the best for this company.

on behalf of me and my husband Jean we would like to say a big thank you for everything Even though, it was pouring rain you assure us everything will be OK. Your staff are wonderful, i wouldn't change a thing if i have to do it all over again.People are still talking about the wedding, of course some of my friends are jealous lol....Words cannot express the way you make us feel, Jean still talknig about your assistant Manny how he was wiping his head we felt like queen and king that day once again thank you from the bottom of our heartWe know you was good at what you do, but you exceeded our expectation.You the Best .....................

Shanelle, manny and lisette were absolutely PHENOMENAL! They stayed professional and FUN from beginning to end. I'm a very picky and forgetful bride and Imaginative creations by shanelle started on top of everything! My wedding was the greatess !! MANNY was fun sweeeet and in. top of his game the while night lisette kept everyone cool, and organized. And SHANELLE !!! Mam there jyst isnt enough words to say how great she was. I smiled..... NO! CHEESED the entire evening and even tho my limo was late and got lost and a bridesmaid went MIA (none of which was any fault of IMAGINATIVE CREATIONS BY SHANELLE) My wedding was a BLAST! Im ready to get married again thanks to their services. I've recommended then to everyone I know being married. Thanks again,The new Mr. & Mrs. Sullivan 8-12-11

First, I must say that Shanelle and her staff had the daunting task of planning our wedding - with me, the groom living in Switzerland and my wife Natasha in New York, we logged tons of Skype calls, impromptu meetings and I won't begin with the 1,000's of emails sent back and forth. But, Shanelle truly handled all with the utmost professionalism, time management and kindness. I can honestly say that I don't know where we would have started and ended without her. Now to the day of. Shanelle, Manny and Jenny have our utmost gratitude for our weekend getaway wedding in South Jersey (Friday to Sunday) they were there and present, from the midnight to 2am gift bag packing to my insane need for sugar-free Red Bulls to the last minute gift that I needed for one of my mentors the team was on fire. Shanelle and staff took control and managed everything without any major hitches and were flexible to audible when needed!!We didn't have to think, Shanelle, Manny and Jenny took the wheels and allowed us to float on the most beautiful day of our life.We fully recommend Shanelle to anyone, early and often - she is really amazing at wedding planning and as a person across the board!Natasha and Ricardo - July 23rd, 2011

Shanelle and her team are amazing. Her guidance through the planning was priceless. Going into planning my wedding, I was not sure if I needed a wedding planner or not but Shanelle was referred to me by a family member and I decided to give it a try. Let me just say that in the first conversation, she gave me more information that I was able to gather myself in the three months before planning on my own. She kept in touch and guided me every step of the way. After over a year of planning the big day was finally here and Shanelle and her team were absolutely fabulous. I never worried about anything, I was on time, the vendors she recommended were perfect and professional. She thought of everything and her emergency kit even impressed my bridesmaids. I asked my mom to bring her portable steamer and when that stopped working, Shanelle had one. Shanelle and her team were in constant communication throughout the event to ensure my day ran smoothly. Everyone commented that I was such a happy bride and all I can say is, that is because of Shanelle and her team. I never worried for anything. Her services were priceless. She even handled the demands of my family with professionalism and trust me that is not easy. From the rehearsal at the venue until our wedding almost everyone commented on how wonderful and on point she was with her IPAD :) I would not hesitate in recommending her services to family, friends and strangers.

Shanelle is a life saver! When my flowers were a no show on the day of my wedding, she and her assistants took charge and arranged for myself and my bridal party to have flowers. I give her tons of credit for being able to deal with my family and friends for my big Nigerian wedding! She is a joy to work with!

ICS Team is AMAZING! Shanelle along with her team made our day so peaceful. They were awesome to work with and not for one moment did they make anyone feel uncomfortable. Imagine your wedding day being stressfree with the ICS Team. From beginning to end, they made EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING perfect. We can't say thank you enough Shanelle, but from the bottom of our hearts Joshua and I thank you!

Shanelle and her team were amazing. Her last minute package I would recommend for any bride who has completed most of the arrangements but is ready to get some last minute assistance. We thought we could do it all but at the last minute we realized we needed some assistance for the weeks before the wedding and for the day of. It was the best investment on the day we ever made!

As an event planner I knew excatly what to look for in a wedding corrdinator. After meeting with many wedding coordinators I met Shanelle. On our first meeting I knew she was the one due to her confidence and experience, she asked all the right questions and that same night she sent me an email with a list of vendors. Shanelle Walker is a great wedding coordinator and executed our wedding to perfection.

From the very beginning of the entire process (13 months ago!) Shanelle was very warm, friendly, and we could tell that she was very knowledgeable when it came to event planning. Not only was she well-versed in this field, but she was also super attentive, unbelivably patient, and extremely helpful! We are a couple from Philadelphia, but got married in NY; I am so thankful that Shanelle was there to help us with every step of the planning. Shanelle kept me up to date with necessary reminders, she provided helpful guidance and suggestions, and she and her team kept everything on track on the wedding day; her assistant, Normel, was wonderful as well! There wasn't a moment when I couldn't get her either by phone or email the entire time, and that put me at great ease. Imaginative Creations is an AWESOME team to work with and I would definitely recommend them not only for weddings, but for any special event that one would want to go seamlessly. Thank You Shanelle and Imaginative Creations, you're the best!!!

Shanelle and her Assitant, Manny, were a great assest to my wedding. With them there, I felt more at peace as the day continued. They were well worth the money that I spent.A noteworthy example of Shanelle's commitment to me was that she began working as soon as I hire her, despite the fact that I only purchased her "Month of" service. Regardless, 2/3 months before the wedding, she assisted me in finding chair covers and even met me at an appointment to pick them out. I was pleasantly shocked. Another is that she was right by my side when taking photos with my neby husband. I think she was there because she knew how much I hated pictures, but she kept a smile on my face. That's another thing...she really took the time to get to know me. I appreciated that the most.She also was in constant contact with me throughout the entire process. She answered emails within an hour or two. I think that she has great taste, if you are looking for an opinion. However, she will not push her thoughts or visions on you, which I appreciated.The last thing is that I wish I would have met with her right before the wedding. I had a wedding that included little details that mattered to me. However, so of those little details were added at the end so Shanelle and her team were unaware of them. With that being said, some things could have went astray, but were quickly corrected by a family member helping out. So nothing was out of place.I have already recommended her services to my personal friends.Good Luck to all the futures Brides!

There are so many words I can use to describe Shanelle, but we are going with "reliable" and "quality". Shanelle came through big time on our special day. We would like to thank her from the bottom of our heart.Jenny & Michael

What can I say, Shanelle provided Wonderful professional service. She was always available to email or talk. She always responded right away and gave great resources. Her makeup artist and hairstylist were the best, and at the last minute I needed invitations and programs and she recommended someone who was incredible, everyone was like family, including Shanelle. How can I forget the musicians, everyone raved about them a cellist and guitar, it was different yet classy with a tradiotnal flare., they were great. Oh, her assistant Jenney was sooo sweet and has an eye for perfection. They both stayed at my house until after 12:00 am helping me put favors together for 300! Shenelle went above and beyond the services I requested,she was there for moral support and prayer as well(soo important). My family and I were truly pleased from start to finish. If you are looking for someone who is professional, organized, understanding, creative and kind the list goes on and on Imaginative Creations by Shanelle is the vendor to go to. Hope I wasn't too cheesy but its true. Love ya Shanelle and Jenny too.

Shanelle Walker from Imaginative Creations was simply dynamite. She made sure on my wedding day that I had no worries. There were some things that went wrong but she was attentive in resolving everything without my knowledge. In the 1 year of planning I relocated from Maryland to New York and also had a baby. I had so much on my plate is was ridiculous. Shanelle made sure I was aware of my timelines. She was always on top of everything. She was always prompt and on point in answering any questions that I may have had regarding my wedding day. Shanelle has a great personality and I wish I could do my wedding again so she can coordinate it. Dont worry Shanelle my 10 Year anniversay is all yours.

Shanelle Walker and her team from Imaginative Creations are amazing!!! If it were not for her my wedding day would have been one big mess. I was taking classes and was not able to keep track of all of my appointments and vendor payments and she was always on top of everything. She was always prompt and on point in answering any questions that I may have had regarding my wedding day. Shanelle has a great personality and my family loved her and thought she did a wonderful job in planning the day.

Shanelle was a fabulous wedding planner. From beginning to end she gave us excellent service, had great ideas, very professional with the vendors we worked with and always quick to respond to us when we needed her expert advise.Hiring shanelle was one of the best decisions we made! We hired her as our Day of Coordinator and I’m so glad we did. She is not only a great wedding coordinator, but she is a great person- very down to earth and super nice! Because of Shanelle we were able to enjoy every single moment of our wedding. We didn’t have to worry about anything that day except for having fun and enjoying our special day. If you hire Shanelle, you will not be disappointed she knows her stuff.Thanks Shanelle!

Let me start off by saying I have been a total painto my planner she has handled it with grace and patience. I had to change the wedding date like four times and then we changed Venues like five times we did not know what we wanted. We started planning last July and youwould think we would be married by now, but things happen. Shanelle is GREAT!!! she is very affordable and very effecient, she gets what every you need done in a minium amount of time. She is in New York and that's where we were getting married but now we have ddecided on Hawaii and she is still taking care of the wedding. She is affordable VERY and kind hearted please visit her website and see her work. www.icbyshanelle.com

Shanelle is the best planner I have ever met. When my husband and I first met her, we both knew she was the one. She is very professional, well-organized, creative and dependable. We had our wedding on October 2009 and we found her in March 2009. Within the 6 months period, she arranged everything for us perfectly. We had a big wedding for 370 people, on our wedding day, Shanelle and her staffs stayed and helped us from the morning to night. All my friends and families loved the decoration and none of us had to worry anything, beside enjoying the party. Especially to my mother, I was the first child who got married in the family and she was so worry but after a few minutes she met Shanelle, she felt so much comfortable and relax. My husband even said without Shanelle, our dream wedding would never be happened. There are two words usually can find on the brides but me, I never feel stressful or overwhelming. Shanelle is too great, after being around with her for all these time, I can tell she loves to be a wedding/event planner.

Shanelle and Imaginative Creations by Shanelle are truly amazing and the best company I have ever worked with. I found Shanelle through a search online in January 2009, we were to be married July 2009. Out of all the vendors I spoke to, I instantly knew Shanelle was the one. We live in Sounthern California and wanted to get married in Central Park New York. Without knowing the area or being there, it was going to be a huge challenge to plan the wedding. Shanelle was amazing. Her level of professionalism, attention to detail, constant communication put me at ease the entire time. Shanelle helped me with every detail of the wedding. The vendors she recommended for me were great and provided us with exactly what we wanted. I would recommend Imaginative Creations by Shanelle to anyone planning a wedding or event. Our Wedding Day was truly special and more than we could have hoped for and Shanelle made that all possible. She truly loves what she does.

Words can't describe how happy I am with this company. Very professional, very dependable, and very imaginative. Shanelle is great. She is communicative, informative, and overall a great professional event planner. I have a wedding coming up in April and me and my fiance were so overwhelmed with work and this wedding that we really couldn't dedicate any time to plan it. I was referred by a friend about this company and how great Shanelle and her staff were. Right now, I feel secure and happy about the way things are going with the planning of the wedding and I couldn't have chose a better company. I will defintely recommend, "Imaginative Creations by Shanelle" to my closest friends and family.

They really made some magic happened for my wedding day. The things that seemed impossible to do, they made it happen. I am completely satisfied and then some. Truly Thank You for your services.

Shanelle is excellent at what she does. I can't say enough good things about her. She is a pleasure to work with, extremely organized, and always one step ahead. After being around Shanelle, even for a short period of time, you can tell that event planning and weddings are a passion for Shanelle. I have had the pleasure of working with Shanelle on several occasions and everytime it was seamless and successful.

Attention to details and understanding your clients needs is the key to a good wedding planner. What makes a great planner is one who has the ability to balance the client needs along with the resources of the other vendors. Shanelle and her team care a great deal about the clients they service. I've worked with her team and have seen first hand how they approach their tasks. Shanelle and her team are a pleasure to work with.

I've worked with Shanelle a number of times and can tell you first hand that she really knows how to coordinate a wedding! The weddings I have worked with her have been by far the most organized and smooth flowing. Having Shanelle in your corner on your wedding day will insure that you are able to enjoy your day to the fullest and your guests will too.

NY is full of wedding planners, but only a handful really carry that title well. A good planner is calm, reassuring and fiercely loyal to their clients and vendors. Shanelle has that gift, and she passes it on to her brides and vendors. No wedding is too small or to big for Ms. Shanelle. No doubts, no worries, just Shanelle. The sky is the limit for ICS!

Shanelle is awesome! I have enjoyed working with her and hope to do so again in the near future. --Sarah Ritchie, wedding officiant
