Our wedding was absolutely magical in every way that we could have wanted, and Shannon was a major reason it went that well. We’re two people who had never envisioned our future wedding and were not looking forward to planning one, but we ended up with very specific ideas about what we wanted, some of which were pretty unconventional. Shannon never said no to any of our crazy ideas, and encouraged us to have the wedding that was right for us. She worked with us to refine our vision into a practical event design, and then executed it all and made it look effortless and beautiful. She understood the vibe we were after and got both the decor and the flow of the weekend exactly how we had imagined it. Day-of, Shannon was on top of everything and really allowed us, and our friends and family, to relax and fully participate stress-free. We absolutely could not have done it without her, and we feel like we made a friend along the way! Ask her about the wedding with the circus act, we’re sure it’ll be a good story!

Shannon, thank you for everything, and know that we appreciate your help and hard work more than we can fit into words!

Words cannot express the gratitude and love we have for Shannon and her team at SES Events! Not only is Shannon an incredible, experienced, and detailed wedding planner, she is also a true friend and wonderful human being! We are so lucky to have worked with Shannon all of the days leading up to our wedding and the entire wedding weekend. Shannon took care of every single detail, worked seamlessly with our vendors and brought our vision to life. Shannon truly goes above and beyond for her clients, always available for a call, zoom or email catch up, with so much care in everything she does. I already miss working with Shannon, so happy to call her a friend for life! XO

Hiring Shannon as our wedding planner was an awesome decision! She was extremely professional, well organized, and very responsive to any and all of our questions. She has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to all things wedding related, and took the time to really understand our vision and help bring it to life. She was incredibly helpful when it came to selecting vendors, coordinating different meetings and site visits, and managing all wedding weekend details. On our wedding day, Shannon and her team made sure everything ran as expected. It was perfect! We truly don't know how we would have been able to pull off the wedding of our dreams without Shannon!

Shannon was simply the best. She was the second best decision we made, after choosing to get married!

She adds value every step of the way. Organization and clear communication throughout the entire process. She knows all the best vendors and will help guide your decision making.

We loved all the extra effort she put in for us and would use her again in a heartbeat

As our day-of coordinator, Shannon was the glue that held our wedding together! From our first consultation with her right up until our big day, she brought structure and experience that allowed us to feel prepared to enjoy every moment of our wedding. During our first meeting, we told Shannon that we had two main goals: 1. We wanted all of the different parts of our day to feel manageable so that we could be fully "present" for the entirety of our wedding, and 2. We wanted to build in time to *actually* eat our meals and take in the experience that we worked so hard for. Shannon really listened and she delivered on all of these goals and so much more. Hiring Shannon was absolutely the best decision we made for our wedding day! We will forever recommend her to any engaged couple. We truly can't express enough how much you need to have Shannon involved in your wedding - whether it be for full wedding planning, or as a day of coordinator (like we did)! Shannon makes it her mission to make sure you ENJOY your wedding.

Shannon was absolutely INCREDIBLE to work with. The best decision of my life was choosing to marry my husband; the second best decision was hiring her! I interviewed six other planners before hiring her, and I know 1000% I made the right decision. From the start, she was organized, efficient, and kept us on track. We're not from Newport, RI where our wedding was, so we wanted someone who knew the area and could recommend vendors. We had the BEST vendor team based on Shannon's recommendations and guidance. She was there for us every single step of the way - from the big decisions like DJ vs Band to the small ones like where to place the seating chart sign, she was on top of it all. When our printer missed a whole table of notes we'd written, she printed them out the night before - this is just one example of her making our wedding a seamless, magical experience for us. Also, just as importantly, she was a joy to work with. Before, during, and after our wedding, I was so happy she was the one who was there for us. Our parents both commented on how amazing she was, and our wedding party was so thankful they had her to go to. My one regret is that I only plan to get married once, so unfortunately, I won't have the chance to work with her again. THANK YOU SHANNON!

Shannon was my biggest cheerleader, advocate, and saving grace leading up to and on my wedding day--she is what I would so endearingly refer to as a wedding fairy godmother. Just look at her in this picture expressing GENUINE excitement for us. Your wedding is one of the most meaningful days of your lifetime and it can be stressful to commit to different vendors and wonder if they will truly care as much as you do, but look no further if you are searching for planning & coordination help because Shannon is the real deal and will have your back and care about your event like she is your family or best friend. She went above and beyond my expectations and made me feel supported as I navigated an otherwise seemingly isolated and stressful planning experience. She is well worth the investment and I could not have sat back and enjoyed/relaxed on my day without her there.

Hiring Shannon was the best decision I made throughout the wedding planning process! We hired her for day-of coordination and some help with details, and she was a powerhouse throughout the whole process. She was super professional, always available to answer questions, offer guidance, and genuinely made us feel so taken care of. She was also incredibly fun to work with! My biggest regret was not hiring her to do even more - she truly made the process so seamless and stress free. We had the absolute best wedding day and I credit most of that to Shannon! She totally took over all of our vendor communication, helped everyone stay on track, and helped put out fires that, frankly, I didn't even know about until after the fact (she's that good). All we had to do was get married and enjoy ourselves! Thank you again, Shannon & the entire team for everything!
