Day Dream Events by Shawna Reviews

I cannot say enough about how absolutely wonderful Shawna is as a wedding planner. Not only did she help me with vendors and go on appointments with me, she set up the reception venue, orchestrated all events during the ceremony, made sure eve...
rything was perfect and on time and according to schedule at the reception hall. The next morning... Shawna was at the reception hall at 8am, tearing down decorations, collecting linens, boxing up items and helping us pack up everything and get it into the truck! Do wedding planners even do this? Guests raved about her personable service, professionalism and how she was so cool, no pressure, no hiccups--this is just what she does. And she made it look effortless. Shawna also officiated our wedding, helped us with vows to make it personalized and charming. If you are getting married...you need a best friend. My best friend was, without a doubt, Shawna! Weddings can be stressful, but I had the luxury of drinking mimosas and visiting with bridal party, guests, etc. because I had no worries-- nothing to stress over except the calories in the cake! If you have the opportunity to hire Shawna--do it! You will not be disappointed!! I'd give 50 stars if it would let me. She's a gem.

ding me from point A to point B while being in contact with the vendors and the wedding party. She kept me hydrated and fed, and she always knew where my things were when I needed them. Our wedding was at Whitney Peak, and set up was a breeze. All our family had to do was drop the decor off to to Shawna, and she handled all the rest. She also took care of our gifts and special decorations after the wedding. Everything was waiting for us neatly in our hotel suite. It was the perfect day and we have Shawna to thank for so much of that!
