After a 2.5 year engagement including a rescheduled wedding date, we were finally able to have our dream wedding and we couldn't have done it without Shannon Gail's planners Kelly and Emma. If you read no further just know that not only are the...y polished and amazing at their jobs, they are even more wonderful people - the kind that you actually want to spend time with (which is no small feat during the stress of wedding planning!), and who you can entrust with one of the most important days of your life.
As our primary planner along the way, Kelly went above and beyond to accommodate every request, concern, wrangle every detail, and always make herself available for a last minute chat, especially to discuss new requests or challenges! I truly felt like I had a partner in my corner looking out for my best interest and sharing in the vision so that I could truly let go and enjoy the day. As a "covid bride," dealing with the postponement, loss of original vendors, and hearing stories of friends' wedding day blunders, it felt like something was destined to "go wrong" day-of, BUT I am so happy to say that wasn't the case, and I attribute that to Kelly and her planning and management of the flow of the day and everyone involved. Even my father and bridesmaids commented how amazing Kelly was, and how pivotal she was to making the day as carefree, smooth, and enjoyable as it was for all of us. We were all able to enjoy the day, be present, and not worry about a single thing.
And Emma! I'm so grateful to have had Emma with us day-of. She came with us for bridal party photos before the ceremony and not only was she reassuring from a logistics perspective, but her demeanor was so calming and positive that she helped cast a positive vibe for everyone! She was extremely attentive, proactive, aware, and could sense what was needed/what needed to be done before anyone even realized it. For example, while we were taking photos at one location, she noticed a proposal was happening nearby and she went over to take candid photos and send them to the couple who had just gotten engaged - what a sweet thing to do. Even though Emma was only with us day-of, I felt like I had known her all along - was so comfortable with her, and trusted that she had everything under control, and she did!
My husband and I are so grateful to have had Kelly and Emma with us for our wedding - from the planning to the day itself to the memories we will cherish forever. Working with them was undoubtedly one of the best decisions we made.
