A Paradigm Shift Event, LLC

cts of weddings. We experienced the Full Service Wedding Planning & Design package, and it was a lifesaver as we are both busy professionals and hardly had time to add anything more to our to-do lists! Jocelyn was excellent at communicating with us throughout the process. We had a few in-person meetings, monthly Skype sessions, and she was available by and responsive to our many calls, texts, and emails. Jocelyn did thorough research for the venue and all vendors for our wedding, and always presented us with multiple options including the pros and cons of each choice. When asked, she would give her professional opinion, and always respected our choices. In the beginning, we had vague ideas of what we wanted for our wedding. Jocelyn shaped our ideas into reality, making them authentic to our personalities, interests, and desires. In the end, the rehearsal, the wedding, and the reception all ran smoothly, without a hitch! (Even *if* there was a mishap, we had NO clue because Jocelyn & her team made sure everything was handled by them on the wedding day.) My husband and I (and our guests) had a BLAST! Our special day was so well-planned out that it was hassle-free and worry-free for both of us—which is how a wedding SHOULD be for the bride and groom! It has been 6 months since the wedding and we are STILL getting compliments about how cute our customized save-the-dates, invitations, and wedding programs were; how well the wedding, cocktail hour, and reception events “flowed seamlessly”; how the theme of our wedding suited us perfectly; and how much fun everyone had! A lot of our family commented about how Jocelyn was such a “sweet young woman” who was on top of things and always cordial. The venue’s staff even made remarks about how impressed they were with the professionalism and organization of Jocelyn and her team throughout the process and especially on the wedding day. (Jocelyn’s creativity, ingenuity, experience, and keen sense of logistics provided the venue staff with ideas for future weddings and receptions at their venue.) Even our photographers and videographer commented on how easy it was to working with Jocelyn. Oh, and we live in Maryland and the wedding was here, too. So, Jocelyn was able to give us ALL of this top-notch service from North Carolina! (She did travel to meet with us a few times in person, especially for venue visits.) Side note: My fiancé and I had seen Jocelyn/APSE's work as a “day of” coordinator at a wedding where we were guests. Both of us agreed it was the best wedding we had ever attended—started on time; reception ran smoothly/no “boring” moments, etc. We KNEW that we wanted her to coordinate our wedding!

oo glad we did!!! We were planning our wedding from out of state, but Jocelyn made the planning process so easy. Throughout the entire year leading up to the wedding, everyone kept saying how calm I was as the bride, and my response was always, “it’s all because of Jocelyn!!” One of the things I was most impressed with aside from her professionalism and attention to detail was how quickly she learned me as the bride. Her vendor recommendations and decor selections were always on point!!! She made it so easy for me (an extreme Type A bride) to trust her vision. Our guests are still talking about how beautiful our wedding day was and we owe so much of that to the A Paradigm Shift Event team. I highly recommend them!

ccomplishment in my daughter’s life. Jocelyn was simply amazing in helping me organize my thoughts and ideas for the celebration. She leveraged resources which helped me stay on task amidst competing priorities, and she provided design options that helped me balance the “must haves” with my personal budget contraints. My daughter’s college graduation celebration was absolutely magical in every aspect. If you’re thinking A Paradigm Shift Event is limited to weddings, please do not place them in a box. Jocelyn is amazing and her design style is very adaptable. She is well connected with the right vendors to bring an event together that is truly seamless. I can’t say enough about A Paradigm Shift Event, Jocelyn and her team. Do yourself a favor and let a professional ensure your event represents you well without the unnecessary stress. At the end of the evening I felt like my mission was successfully accomplished. Thank you Jocelyn and team for making it magical!!
