About Shh Events

Full planning offers all our our resources, the owner as your lead planner, a dedicated assistant, all of the features of partial planning, plus additional resources and special perks!

Perfect!
I cannot recommend Stephanie and Shh events enough! She sent us some excellent recommendations for vendors early on in our planning process and made sure we stayed on top of everything with a plan. She was always available to answer questions and bounce ideas off throughout the process. In the month or so leading up to our wedding, she ramped everything up and made a detailed schedule and coordinated with all of our vendors so we didn't have to worry about anything! We had an extremely positive experience with Stephanie and can confidently say our wedding would not have been the success it was without her help! Thank you Steph :)

Stephanie and Cate from Shh events took my wedding the next level. The best day of my life was even more special because of the time they took to plan and execute my vision. Shh events took all the guess work out of the planning process and connected me with the vendors that matched my style. I am so grateful to Stephanie and her team. I will be recommending to all my friends and family!
Amazing Coordinator and Planner!
Stephanie was amazing. We hired her primarily as a day of coordinator and ended up with so much more. She was there to answer any and all of my questions and helped me navigate stressful situations prior to the wedding. On the day of the wedding, things flowed seamlessly and it’s all because of her! She is friendly, approachable, professional and just a beam of light and it meant the world to have her on our side during the whole wedding process. She approaches everything in a calm and cool manner and it really put me at ease. We are so thankful for all that she did for us!
Stephanie for President
For everyone who thinks they don’t need a wedding planner. You do. You do and you specifically need Stephanie. If everyone had a Stephanie, there would be no wedding disasters, no war, and no famine. Stephanie is the best. She helped us look through contracts with vendors, talked us through conversations with catering (which is how we met her), and ran our wedding day seamlessly. Stephanie really knows this business. She helped us manage our budget, she set expectations and timelines, and was super responsive with emails and questions. She also was respectful and inclusive to us with all our identities, as a gay couple and a Jewish/Italian couple. The wedding industry often assumes a lot of things but Stephanie is so kind and goes out of her way to make sure she never does. Beyond that, I think it’s important to highlight what a wedding planner does the day of. She makes sure all the tables are set up so you don’t have to. She makes sure your vendors arrive on time. She made sure our photos and our flowers were set up. I cannot emphasize enough how much you will not want to be doing your own table arrangements when you’re trying to pull off the biggest party you’ve ever thrown. She also came a few days early and picked up ALL of the items for the wedding in her mini-van. Then she packed them up at the end of the night and delivered them a few days after the wedding?? That ALONE is the best. I assumed my wife, our families, and I would be packing things up that night but she gave us a magical day where we didn’t have to worry about anything. She’s also incredibly smart and thorough and NEVER complains. We had books as our centerpieces and realized later that the idea of books was going to be HEAVY. She never told us we were nuts but she actually said she liked it because we did things that were true to us. She has more energy than anyone I’ve ever met and her and her day-of assistant, Caitlin, were the best. Seriously, Stephanie is, as my wife says, a magical human being. Don’t plan a wedding without her.
