Shannon is doing my Sepember 21, 2024 wedding and she has already blown me away! Her attention to detail is beyond words and she has taken all my anxiety away. If you have any doubts about hiring her, she is worth every penny and more!
Shannon was amazing from start to finish and our day wouldn't have been the same without her and her team!
We booked Shannon primarily to have a day of coordinator and she did that and helped us in the months before with our final details and bringing everything together into a cohesive event. Her and her staff are excellent people to have in your corner so you dont have to worry about everything being as good as you imagined.
Working with Events by Shannon for the past three years, I have witnessed countless weddings and events with finesse and beautiful execution. Shannon goes above and beyond for her clients. She puts her entire heart into what she does. HIRE EVENTS BY SHANNON!!
In August 2022 I had a baby shower that Shannon had decorated for me! Even though it was a baby shower and not a wedding her attention to details, even the little ones, were still a big priority! She has so many options of decorations, colors, and even things for food tables, dessert tables, and drink tables. She’s full of suggestions and creating the perfect plan with you! Everything turned out beautiful and on time. I had the best shower because of her! All my pictures with the balloon arch background were beautiful! Shannon has also done weddings for a lot of people that I know personally and I have attended those weddings. As always, everything is stunning! Very very thankful for her and everything she did for me the day of my baby shower!
I have attended several events that Shannon has orchestrated. Each one was beautiful, professional, and memorable.
Shannon we exceptional. Everything we needed was done. Kind, efficient, caring and knowledgeable. Definitely would recommend.
Shannon has gone ABOVE AND BEYOND for my husband and I. We had a two year engagement and hired her on with the intention of being a day of coordinator. When I say she did more than we could of dreamed of I wouldn't be lying. During this process, our original venue burnt down. She quickly helped us find a new place to get married. We also had issues with a photographer and she helped us manage how to get out of our contract and find someone else.
Additionally, she has a great resource of having some of her own decor. She has helped make this so seamless and I have given her full trust and control of this process. HIRE HER! SHE WILL NOT DISAPPOINT
Shannon is incredible. Where do I begin? As a bride who lives abroad, Shannon was kind, accommodating, supportive, and went above and beyond. From setting up video calls throughout the planning process, to checking in on the timeline, to providing so many resources, to all the materials she and her team have to make your day beautiful— working with her and her team was the best decision of my entire planning process. She is an incredibly talented, experienced, and insightful.
Shannon made my whole wedding possible! She was able to recommend vendors and helped plan every detail of my wedding. Her and her team did all the set up and tear down for our wedding and made the whole day run smoothly. Without her my wedding day would have been super stressful and I don’t think I would have it enjoyed it as much. Shannon is super knowledgeable and knows how to really be there for you when you need a helping hand. She comes highly recommended from me!
I cannot say enough positive things about Shannon as our Wedding Planner. As mother of the bride with a daughter in medical school in New Hampshire, I was lost until I spoke with Shannon and hired her as my daughter’s wedding planner. She worked with us throughout Covid. The wedding had to be postponed and rescheduled. She helped us with vendor loses that needed to be replaced due to the pandemic.
Shannon met with us regularly for almost two years. She was willing to do virtual meetings with my daughter. She met with us several times at our venue working with their representative. She walked us through their contract which was quite extensive. Even though she works full time, she answered any all all of our emails and texts in a timely manor. She was constantly reassuring.
Shannon is extremely cost conscious. She constantly sent us information of sales and cost reductions. Her venders were extremely reasonable. Her creativity is absolutely amazing. She supplied much of the wedding decor from her own personal resources. This not only saved us in cost but also in time.
She provided us a wedding schedule that kept us on tract for everything from ordering and mailing invitations and up to the rehearsal. She gives you a wedding day schedule so everyone is adequately prepared and knows what to expect. Shannon and her crew were at the venue the entire day. They did not leave until all the venues demands had been met. Our deposit was fully refunded,
In my first interview with Shannon, I shared some problems we had with my older daughter’s wedding. Her reply was “If anything goes wrong you will never know.” I knew I had the right person. Thank you Shannon. Her day was perfect.
Shannon was AMAZING! She thinks of the smallest details that a new bride couldn’t possibly think of or come up with. The day of our wedding she took care of everything, even packed up our food/cake and went above and beyond! One of her staff members even drove to my APARTMENT right before the ceremony to get something we forgot. All in all, we would 100% hire Shannon and her team again. If you’re thinking about it, go with Shannon! You won’t regret it.
I was not pleased with this wedding planner. The execution of services rendered left a lot to be desired. My daughter hired Events by Shannon for her wedding and entered into a contract.
This is the last item in the contract for this vendor, which deters any mixed reviews:
"Character and/or Defamation Agreement. The parties agree that neither planner nor client will either verbally, in writing or in and/or on any social media and/or online platforms negatively speak on the other party (client’s or planner’s) character."
I'm not certain this clause is even legal:
https://privacyandiplawblog.com/2017/04/new-law-prohibits-non-disparagement-provisions-in-form-consumer-contracts/
Had a phone consultation scheduled for 09/05/2022 at noon, received a text message at 11:32 am stating she cancelled due to a schedule conflict and to choose a different time. I rescheduled for the following day 09/06/2022 same time, received my email confirmation and never received the phone call. Not a very professional way to run a business.
As a DJ, working with a great wedding planner makes the big day so much smoother. Events by Shannon delivers a knockout service every single time! I've worked with Shannon and her crew for several weddings, and they have set a lovely tone for each one. From paying attention to the little details and helping the couples plan each step of the day to transforming the venue into a picturesque display, Events by Shannon is an amazing choice for a wedding planner!
I highly recommend Shannon as your wedding planner! She was wonderful! She has lots of inventory to choose from so that you don't have to worry about renting lots of stuff! The day of the wedding ran so smoothly with her and I don't know how anyone ever has a wedding without a planner! Shannon was helpful to everyone who had questions and I can't thank her enough for all her help!
Shannon was beyond amazing! She was super responsive and made planning so easy! She has tons of vendor recommendations and is a life saver for decor items. It doesn’t matter what your theme is that you’re going for. Classic, modern, rustic, bohemian- she has decor for all of it. I can’t imagine my wedding without her
Shannon is the best wedding planner anyone could ask for! She made mine and Alex’s day so perfect. She is very knowledgeable and she’ll make sure you get the wedding of your dreams! I cannot say enough amazing things about her and her team!
I can’t say enough good things about Shannon and her team. From our first planning meetings, to the very end of our wedding, Shannon made sure each detail was executed to the highest level. She thought of everything, and made sure everything ran smoothly. Her team is professional, and courteous. Anyone would be lucky to have Shannon be a part of your day. She made sure everything was taken care of after the wedding, and were able to just enjoy our day. Hiring Shannon was by far the best decision I could have made in planning our wedding. She has such a warm heart and personality, and overall was a joy to work with.
OMGGG!!! Shannon and her crew are seriously AMAZING!! My fiancé and I got married on 12/31/21 and they made our New Year's Eve wedding everything and more!! I am so glad I hired her.. It was seriously the best decision we made!! She is so prepared, kind and knowledgeable!! I literally could not have asked for anything more!!
We hired Shannon and her team a little over a month before our big day. I was overwhelmed with a few things, but had a bulk of the planning done. Shannon's ability to put together a timeline and understand my vision for decor for our big day was unmatched. On the day of, Alicia went above and beyond to make sure our day went off without a hitch. I would recommend Shannon and her team over and over again to anyone looking for a planner/coordinator. My only regret is that I didn't hire her sooner. Thanks Shannon and Alicia!
There are not enough adjective to describe how wonderful Shannon Burton is! Shannon has vast experience that she shared with us to make our wedding day more amazing than we could have ever imagined. Her attention to detail and calm demeaner helped to keep me focused on what needed to be done and keep my stress under control. On the day of the wedding, the outdoor ceremony we had planned for almost a year was converted to an indoor ceremony due to weather. Shannon had worked with the event staff and converted the reception room into an intimate area that was perfect for our ceremony.
I highly recommend Shannon if you are looking for a down to earth professional that will listen to your vision and make it come to life. Thank you is not adequate for all of the amazing help Shannon provided.
Like many brides during this time, my husband and I had a small wedding during Covid (15 people). After planning and decorating that very small wedding by myself, I quickly realized I needed some help if I was going to need some help if we were going to have 150 people at our reception. If I could go back and tell myself anything from my wedding, it would be to budget for a planner (which I might add, Shannon is affordable and worth every penny). From day one, Shannon has been nothing shy of amazing. We spoke on the phone initially and she let me know of her services. Moving forward, she as available whenever I had questions and offered assistance in the planning process. She has an online scheduling program which is easy to use and we met up several times before the wedding. Okay, fast forward to wedding day and WOW! words cannot describe how grateful I am for Shannon and her team. When I say our wedding wouldn't have come together with out Shannon, I mean it. Her team was on time, professional, and attentive to what I wanted. The space looked phenomenal. When I came down from getting my hair and makeup done, I almost cried! Everyone commented all night on how great everything looked, including the venue itself. Also, she kept everything flowing and was right there when I needed help (request from the DJ, help with my bustle, photographers needed us for pictures outside etc.). Do yourself a favor right now, drop everything you are doing, and hire this team!
We had the best experience with Shannon! She was so easy to work with & made our wedding look absolutely beautiful! Shannon made sure that there was no stress for us & took care of anything we needed! I would definitely recommend Shannon to anyone who is considering her!
About two months before our big day I started to realize I needed a Day of Coordinator to help with timeline, setup, and all the little things on the wedding day. I searched for Day of Coordinators on The Knot and stumbled upon Events by Shannon. We hired her last minute and it was by far the best decision we made in the 1.5 years of wedding planning!! Shannon helped make all of our wedding dreams come true! She sent me checklists leading up to the wedding to ensure I was fully prepared for the big day. On our wedding day...WOW! She was a lifesaver. She did all of the decorating, kept a wedding party of 21 on track (that is a feat in and of itself), coordinated all of our vendors, ensured my husband and I got fed and took a few minutes to ourselves to relax prior to the reception (which was a Godsend and much needed!), cleaned up and did everything in between! Thank you is not enough for all that she did to make our wedding day perfect! The only thing I would have changed is hiring her SOONER in the planning process! She has so many tips/tricks and decor to help you save money and time which are very precious when planning a wedding. I have already recommended her to other brides and I will continue to every chance I get! Hire Events by Shannon and you will not be disappointed! ♥️
As a photographer working with Shannon was a dream come true! She helped up keep everything on time as well as she had backup plans A-Z! She was such an incredible help and so wonderful to talk to and get to know, if you get you work with her your day is going to be such a breeze, as a vendor or as a bride and groom I 100% recommend workign with this incredible human being! SHE IS THE BEST!
HIRE EVENTS BY SHANNON!!! Hiring Shannon and her team was the best decision we made while planning our wedding! She decorates, plans, coordinates, and goes above and beyond to make sure your day is perfect! We had a venue that wasn’t working out for us and we decided less than three weeks before the wedding to change venues. Shannon was calm and reassuring that we’d be fine and supported our decision and found a venue that very same night that we told her! With two weeks to go she hopped on phone calls, contacted vendors, and rearranged her whole decorating plan! She knew that I wasn’t going to have my other venue and vision I had with it, so she went the extra mile to bring that vision to our new venue. It was GORGEOUS!! Aside from the decorating, she made our rehearsal run smooth, she came by the day of and made sure all was well, and our wedding day was PERFECT! I didn’t have to worry about anything! My friends and family were so impressed by Shannon and other vendors were even asking for her information! I could go on and on about how amazing her and her team are. Hiring Events By Shannon will be the best decision for your wedding! ❤️
Shannon did a fabulous job! She completely took all the stress out of the wedding day! She does amazing and beautiful work! I recommend her to all new engaged couples!!
We hired Shannon around 2 months prior to our wedding. Hiring her was the best decision we could have made. She took our vision and ran with it, from coordinating with all the vendors, decorating our venue and even having a plate of food for us when pictures were all done so we didn't have to go thru the line and our guests were not waiting to eat. She thought of every little thing and was amazing to work with. Our vendors even remarked on well her schedule of the order of the day was so well planned. Being able to not have to worry about decorating the venue or tearing down after a long day was the best. Shannon even went trudging thru the snow to hold my dress so we could get the sunset pictures I'm the snow! There is nothing she won't do to make your day perfect.
Shannon made my daughter's wedding absolutely perfect. Every detail was taken care off. The wedding and reception was beautiful! She was so well organized and completely professional. She took all the stress and worry from me and even made sure all the other vendors had what they needed to make the day perfect. Hire Shannon!
Shannon is amazing!!!! If you are looking for someone who will treat your event as if it were their own, look no further!!! My son's wedding a day reception had such elegant details and was just beautiful!!!! I highly recommend Events by Shannon!!!
I cannot put into words how amazing this woman is. My husband and I have had literally anything and everything go wrong up until our wedding day. Shannon made our day absolutely perfect. She is so selfless and caring. Shannon is beyond sweet and has a VERY strong attention to detail. She took my vision and made it a reality and then some. Everything was perfect from start to finish. I cannot put into words how thankful we are for Shannon and her team. If you are planning on having a wedding YOU NEED HER. She is not as expensive as most local wedding coordinators (she is worth SO MUCH MORE), but she does 10 times more for you than any wedding coordinator we spoke to (which was probably 5 or more). She went above and beyond for us and we are incredibly grateful.
THANK YOU Shannon for EVERYTHING. I honestly have no idea what we would have done without you ♥️
Working along side Shannon I know it’s going to be an amazing day! She truly makes the vision of the bride and groom come alive for their big day. From start to finish, every detail is intricately thought of and executed. Not only the physical details but in the timeline for the day as well. She thinks of anything and everything and makes sure if you want it, it’s going to happen!
We hired Shannon a month before my granddaughter’s wedding. My only regret was we should have hired her earlier! She took our basic plan for a rustic wedding and created a beautiful event with her creative touches. She managed all the details for the rehearsal, vendors, wedding day. The best decision we ever made!
Shannon is an absolutely amazing wedding planner and coordinator. Her attention to time and detail keeps things running smoothly on wedding day. I would highly recommend her to family and friends.
We have just started the planning process with Shannon and she has been absolutely great! I feel so much relief and she really knows what my vision is. Our first meeting lasted almost 2 hours as she went through every detail and she set up a mock view of the reception tables before we even put down a deposit!
Shannon is WONDERFUL to work with. She is professional and makes planning so much easier. She makes planning stress free! I highly recommend Events by Shannon.
