Where do you even begin trying to describe the excellence that is Shayla Hawkins and the SHE team? We immediately clicked upon our first meeting with Shayla. My now husband, who prior to the meeting didn’t think we needed a wedding planner, was... immediately impressed by Shayla. She explained to us how she would help us through the entire process, from managing countless vendors, tracking our budget, and making it the most stylish event of our dreams.
We hired Shayla pre-COVID, and not only did she help and guide us through our postponement, but she ended up working with us for a total of 3 years to plan our wedding. To say that hiring her was one of the best decisions we made would be an understatement. She helped us step by step and guided us through the planning process, when we did not even know where to start . She helped us to hand pick vendors that matched our style and vision. We had countless vendor meetings with her, in which she made every decision and step easy. We went from being confused and overwhelmed, to actually enjoying the process. Shayla was in constant communication with us. We always felt as if we were her only clients, because of the amount of personalized attention we received.
Shayla literally took our dreams and made them into a reality. Our wedding was the best day of our lives, and the entire day was so stress free thanks to her and her team. My husband, family, and I were able to actually enjoy the day and live in the moment. We have received countless compliments and praise from our guests. She has the ability to take ideas and thoughts, elevate them to a new level, then execute them. Shayla would remember small details of things that I mentioned that I liked (string lights for example) and somehow find a way to incorporate them so beautifully into the wedding. Anyone who looks at photos of our wedding can see its beauty, but what isn't seen is the professionalism, organization, time, care, and effort that Shayla put into the day.
Working with Shayla was a blessing, and she truly turned into family for us. We can’t imagine the day without her and could not recommend her enough to any engaged couples looking to make their wedding spectacular, memorable and stress free.
