iciently shepherded our guests from one area to the next while also keeping engaged. The survey he sent us before the wedding covered all the bases and even gave us ideas for things to do during our wedding we hadn’t thought of, like playing the shoe game. We decided to skip and tweak a few wedding traditions that he smoothly incorporated into our wedding timeline. And most importantly, the dance floor was packed the entire night and Shawn was able to read the room play genres that got the crowd the most engaged. He even took photos and videos of everyone on the dance floor which was much appreciated since we didn’t have a videographer for our reception.
