My wedding would have been a DISASTER without Shannon.


Okay, maybe not a disaster, but there would have been a lot of problems and miscommunications, but I had none. Shannon is the reason my wedding was so perfect.


Let me start off by saying that I haven’t really talked about my coordinator much here on the boards because Shannon is a good friend of mine. I take the recommendations made on these boards seriously, so I didn’t want to recommend you girls to her until I knew she would do a good job and be totally professional. Well, she did more than a good job - she did an unbelievable job! So I have absolutely no hesitation about recommending her to anyone looking for any sort of coordination services (day of or full service).


I really had only been interested in day of services, but in the end, Shannon did SO much more. Young and I felt like we had a full service planner running the show for us. She took over my dealings with the vendors, she created the most detailed timeline known to man for the vendors, and a more general one for the wedding party, she kept track of my outstanding balances, plus, the hardest thing for her, I’m sure - she totally kept me on task the last month before the wedding. I’m totally an idea person, but I’m not really organized when it comes to bringing the ideas to life. Shannon sent me weekly to do lists, called me almost daily to check on the status of my projects, offered to help with things I wasn’t very excited about doing - she even cancelled my hairstylist for me when I decided I was going to do my own hair. She was a lifesaver the last month because a) I’m a procrastinator and b) I HATE making phone calls. She made sure everything was taken care of, plus thought of details that never would have crossed my mind. Not only that, she was able to arrange things through her connections that I would have never been able to do on my own (like taking photos at the Hyatt before the ceremony when I wasn’t getting married there). She worked all kinds of miracles for me.


She totally ran the show like a pro during the rehearsal. She had everyone listening to her every word and it was flawless. The day of the wedding - I can’t even tell you. She made sure I wasn’t worried about a single thing. She took care of every detail I could possibly think of. My dad said it seemed like the wedding was effortless, like it all just fell into place, but that those are the events that you know the most work went into. That’s what Shannon did - she did all the work to make the day seem effortless.


I think the best testament to the job she did was that almost every single vendor I had gave me a compliment on her. They all told me how organized and professional she was compared to other coordinators they have worked with and that I was very lucky to have her. That speaks volumes. Not only that, but even the wedding party and the guests commented on how great she was!


I’m not kidding when I say that things would not have been so perfect without Shannon. She was the BEST money we spent on the wedding. Yah, I came up with the ideas, but she’s the one that made everything gel. If anyone is even considering coordination services, you should at least talk to Shannon. Tell her Jessica sent you.
