SHE {Shayla Hawkins Events}

Alexis of SHE was amazing! She assisted me with the final touches of my wedding the month before and provided services the day of our wedding to ensure that everything went off without a hitch. Alexis provided me with great vendors for my hair, programs and graphic art (signage, menu board, etc.). Alexis was fantastic the day of the rehearsal and the wedding. There were a handful of times that I asked her to do something last minute and without a thought she got it done. Also, our wedding was at a non-traditional venue where we had to bring everything together (tables, linens, food, drink, etc.) and Alexis coordinated all of the vendors and made sure that everything was set to perfection for my reception. Finally, Alexis is a true pleasure to work with, she's upbeat, positive and comes to the table with a lot of great ideas... I will definitely consider SHE and Alexis for my next big event!

I started the whole wedding planning process with the brilliant idea that I would do most of the planning on my own to save money. However, trying to plan a wedding outside of Pittsburgh while living in Alabama was harder than I expected. Luckily I found Alexis at SHE and made the best (and easiest) decision of the entire wedding planning process - to hire her! Alexis worked with me from the very beginning; from creating a package that was within my budget to bringing all of my scattered ideas to fruition. Alexis went above and beyond my expectations and created the perfect wedding while staying under budget :D Being so far away, I left everything in Alexis' hands and she definitely did not disappoint. I was also fortunate to have the SHE team help with the day of planning. My day was absolutely perfect thanks to Alexis and the ladies at Shayla Hawkins Events!
Thanks!

I was so fortunate to have SHE be a part of my wedding day. I was a bride who looked forward to the planning process but did find it to be overwhelming at times. Luckily I was able to rely on the SHE team to keep things in order and execute everything without a hitch (and most importantly keeping me on task :-) There were so many small elements of my wedding that didnt go unnoticed. I had guests make comments about the menu, table names, welcome board, decor, etc., and those things came to fruition with the vision of SHe. Without a doubt, my special wedding day was flawless due to the outstanding and hard work, dedication and attention to detail of the SHE team. Thank you!

I knew that planning a wedding in Richmond, VA from Pittsburgh, PA would be a challenge so my husband and I decided to hire a wedding planner. Having heard great things about SHE from mutual friends we decided to work with them. We worked with SHE's principal planner, Shayla Hawkins, who provided us with planning and coordinating services. Shayla was a joy to work with. She's organized, charismatic and will get the job done no matter the obstacle. She listens to her clients to ensure that their vision is executed exactly as they see it. From our first meeting I knew that I'd picked the right wedding planner. Shayla came armed with a packet of materials to record what my ideas and to get the creative juices flowing.

Always budget conscious, Shayla found some of the best vendors in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Virginia. I don't know what we would have done without her. She was always available for advice or to bounce ideas off of. Now that SHE has grown and expanded to other markets, brides from Pittsburgh to Charlotte will have the great experience that is Shayla Hawkins Events!

Shayla was the absolute perfect wedding planner. She pays great attention to detail, has an eye for style and color and she is very professional. I did a lot of shopping around for wedding planners ... since I only want to do this ONCE and Shayla made my dream wedding come true!

I want to say that I was Shayla first client when she officially decided to start SHE *tear*! I knew that Shayla was inspiring to be an event coordinator and I reached out to her to provide her now “Here Comes the Bride” services and I tell you what……she saved my life. I did most of the foot work but she came in and pulled it all together for me so I didn’t have to worry about it. She spent a couple of days getting to understand my vision for the day and what I expected everything to be. She even found a lighting guy for us that was a reasonable price and that really made our event pop! She ran interference with any issues that came up and still to this day I don’t know everything that happened. I was a stress free bride and I thank Shayla and SHE for making it happen. I am so happy to see how her business has flourish since that day and I am so proud of her!!!!! Keep up the good work!

I could not have asked for a more caring planner. Shayla and her staff take no short cuts, their attention to detail was amazing! Whenever an issue was presented Shayla NEVER hesitated to pick up the phone and make a call. Shayla Hawkins Events took my vision and magnified it in a way that allowed my vision to not be compromised but enhanced like I never could have imagined. Shayla is was very professional and great to work with. My husband and I have no complaints, SHE was our wedding hero :-)
I would recommend SHE to every bride who wants a beautiful wedding day!!!

It was a pleasure working with SHE {SHAYLA HAWKINS EVENTS}! I couldnt have asked for a better wedding planner! Shayla was very helpful with the planning of my wedding. SHE listened to all my ideas and made my dream wedding come true!

I know that the title of my review is a big statement but it is true. I had to hire a new wedding planner two months before the wedding. I was pretty stressed about having to do this, but upon meeting Shayla, I knew she was the right woman for the job. My husband and I did most of our own wedding planning, but we needed a planner for day-of coordination, our stationery suite, and all the little details that we didn't want to manage. Shayla listened to all of our requests, is very detail-oriented, and was tremendously reliable. She is a great wedding planning professional. A huge difference from our experience with our previous wedding planner. I cannot say enough positive things about Shayla and the services that SHE provides. My family and wedding party loved her and saw how much she made our big day run so smoothly. I would highly recommend Shayla and her team for any of your special event planning needs. Not only does Shayla do an amazing job with all the planning and execution, she had one of her other event planners at SHE on site at our reception to provide additional assistance. SHE is amazing!

I utilized SHE's day-off wedding services. My goal was to let someone else worry about the detaills (and any problems) so that I could enjoy my wedding. The SHE staff was great at keeping us on track and making sure everything was going according to plan. It was definitely worth the money. We all agreed it was a great decision to hire them.

I retained SHE, Shayla's services for the day of my ceremony however she was extremely helpful throughout my entire planning process. When I had my initial consultation with Shayla I immediately knew that she was the person that would make my vision come to life. I had absolutely no idea how much was involved in planning a wedding. All of my family lives out of town. Without Shayla, I have no idea how things would have turned out. She is was a blessing to me and I would definately recommend her services to other brides. My ceremony and reception were absolutely fabulous! Thank you Shayla.

Shayla and her team created a spectacular event. The wedding and reception decor were breathtaking!

Shayla is one of the sweetest event planners we work with. She is on time, got her Ipad ready and filled with all the information a vendor needs before our consultation with a bride. You know how nice that is? We can certainly prepare ourselves to help create the dream wedding a bride wants. Gives us time to come up with ideas to Wow her. Shayla come along with some ideas of her own and is very open to discussion about them. Many event planners plan your wedding and it's really their wedding and not yours. So give her call if you're looking for someone to take care of the most important day of your life!
