Perfectly Planned by Shari - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I can't say enough about our experience working with Shari! She thought of everything for our big event, easing the burden on us and providing clear lines of communication between the family and vendors. I never thought I'd be able to actually *enjoy* the day of the event, but I did (and so did all of our guests), thanks to Shari.

Beyond her professionalism and clear communication, the event itself turned out beautifully. The vendors that Shari recommended were not just professional - they were also fun! Decor was beautiful and exceeded our expectations.

If you are hesitating on booking a planner, look no farther. Shari is here!

We decided to seek planning assistance as soon as we set the date for our daugther’s bat mitzvah celebration about a year before the big day. Having been acquainted with her for many years, and seeing her work both in person and through social media, Shari was our first (and only) call. While we knew we wanted expert help, we weren’t certain how much we probably needed until we started thinking about what was possible. While we initially thought we might want to be more involved in some of the details, we soon came to the realization that our family would be best served making the big directional choices presented by Shari and allowing her to handle the details. The result was a weekend that our family and friends will not soon forget. Our first of two weekend events planned by Shari had barely begun before we received our first compliment from guests. By the end of the second event, we had lost count of the people expressing how grateful they were to have been a part of such a meaningful event full of memorable moments. Planning successful large events requires thorough planning. Shari and her team offer the experience, relationships, and professionalism to provide the right amount of assistance to deliver the experience you want to create. We cannot express enough gratitude for the work that Shari and her team at Perfectly Planned did for our daughter's bat mitzvah. From the moment we hired her, we knew we were in good hands. Shari's guidance and attention to detail made the planning process stress-free and enjoyable. We give Perfectly Planned by Shari our highest recommendation and will be using their services for future events. Thank you, Shari, for making our daughter's bat mitzvah an unforgettable and truly special day.

Working with Shari was incredible! Her attention to detail was particularly helpful to ensure a smooth wedding day as well as all of the appointments and coordination leading up to my big day. She gave me advice based on her years of experience when needed, but also listened to my opinions and preferences and protected my “vision.” If you want things to go smoothly during wedding planning and for your wedding day, definitely go with Shari!

We had our wedding on in March of 2018, and I can say without hesitation it would not have been the wedding of our dreams without Shari. She is not only truly full service - made recommendations for every vendor, attended every vendor meeting and gave her amazing advice on everything but she was just a wonderful person as well. We really do miss her! It is so important to trust your planner and we not only trusted Shari but were so appreciative of her feedback. Her background in design was helpful beyond belief. We were not an easy couple/family to help please with a lot of different tastes and opinions and again she helped make everything so lovely and flowing so that our wedding truly was the best day of our lives. I can truly give her my 100% recommendation! Below are just a couple of pictures from our photographer Joey Kennedy, another recommendation from Shari 🙂

Shari did an amazing job as the party planner for our wedding! She communicated with everyone involved in the planning process and was super quick to make any adjustments and act when our plans changed. She is super organized and makes everything flow so nicely. She paid attention to the smallest details, like a floral wrap for the dance floor, making our wedding so beautiful and magical. She made good and quick decisions as the weather changed. Having Shari as the planner allowed us to focus on what is important at the wedding: family, friends, and love.

Shari listened to my daughter’s vision very carefully and negotiated with vendors to make it possible with our budget. The party was loved by everyone who attended and I really appreciated Shari’s guidance and vendor connections all the way up to the event day. Thanks so much for a wonderful party!

Shari helped me plan a celebration of life gathering for my late wife at my home for 50+ people. The primary plan was to have the gathering outdoors, but Shari helped me set things up so that we had a fallback in case of rain. As it turned out, the weather was uncertain the day of the event; we ended up using a hybrid of the two plans (the rain ultimately held off) and it worked perfectly. I couldn’t be more pleased with how it went. Catering, setup, valet parking, audiovisual support - she saw to every detail. I highly recommend working with Shari; she’s a consummate professional.

Shari helped us plan our daughter’s Bat Mitzvah in November 2022. She was an amazing guide and partner throughout the whole planning process. Shari’s attention to detail and her ability to create and execute on a vision are exceptional. She truly listens and clearly has a gift for understanding, articulating, and implementing what her clients want. The vendors she recommended were professional, friendly, and talented. Everything really was Perfectly Planned By Shari. I couldn’t have hoped for a more wonderful celebration for our family. Thank you to Shari and her staff for making our daughter’s Bat Mitzvah a truly special and memorable experience.
