We Love Stephanie and Shh Events!
Stephanie was such a pleasure to work with. Professionally, she takes care of business. We hired her for day of planning so she was with us for the last several weeks of planning. We like to think of ourselves as a very organized couple, but we really hit Stephanie with a barrage and an overwhelming amount of emails, texts, and random requests. She handled it all with grace and results. So pleasant to work with! Our wedding day was pretty much flawless. We barely noticed she was there, but she kept everything in check and on time. Overall, we HIGHLY recommend choosing Stephanie and Shh Events. She is fairly priced, professional, and a genuinely nice person.
Stephanie is AMAZING!
Stephanie and Shh Events made our dream wedding come together! We truly couldn’t have achieved such a successful day without her! When we were planning our wedding, we tried to do it on our own and were successful to find incredible vendors. However, there came a point in the planning process that we began to be engrossed in a world of overwhelming details and questions. We were truly lost and defeated. So much so that it was easier to avoid the wedding planning all together. As our date was approaching, it was clear we needed help. Stephanie was truly our knight in shinning armor!! Looking back, I wish I would have reached out to her sooner! Not only did she help organize and perfect every detail, but she took the time to answer every question, ease every moment of panic, and brought joy back into the wedding process. The day of our wedding went SO smoothly and without a glitch. Our guests have continued to comment and rave about how beautiful our day was, which truly is a testament to Stephanie and Shh Events! Cannot recommend her enough!!!
Absolute need for your wedding day
I am very type a planning, but let me tell you even being that way you need a wedding coordinator, and you need Stephanie. For all the things you may forget, she’s got. For all the things that go wrong, because trust me, they do, she’s got. For example it downpoured on my wedding day, but never once did anyone come to me with any plan changes or anything because Stephanie handled everything without me knowing a thing. Every time I had a random question or concern Steph answered me almost right away. Even my husband said I do not know how people plan weddings without a hired coordinator. He said no way would we ever do it without her. I could do on and on about how wonderful and helpful she was but just trust me, and book her. Plus, if your venue isn’t on the ball like mine was not, your coordinator has your back. You want your day to be magical, Stephanie helped make that happen for me and my husband!
