Shelby Your Day Events

repared in time and it went very smoothly the day of.

t we engaged Shelby's services, she immediately put us at ease during what can be the most stressful period of wedding planning. The final month before a wedding is when countless details come together, and having Shelby take the reins was invaluable. She seamlessly stepped in and lifted the entire burden off our shoulders, allowing us to actually enjoy our engagement's final weeks rather than stress about logistics. What truly sets Shelby apart is her established relationships with Santa Fe vendors and her intimate knowledge of the Four Seasons property. She knew exactly who to call, how to coordinate timing between vendors, and understood the unique flow of the venue's spaces. This insider knowledge made everything run like clockwork - from vendor load-ins to the ceremony transition to cocktail hour. On the wedding day itself, Shelby's coordination was flawless. Every moment flowed naturally into the next, and we never had to worry about a single detail. Our vendors all seemed to work in perfect harmony, which we credit to Shelby's excellent communication and coordination skills. She handled everything behind the scenes so professionally that we could focus entirely on celebrating with our loved ones. For any couple planning a wedding at the Four Seasons Santa Fe - or anywhere in the Santa Fe area - we cannot recommend Shelby Your Day Events highly enough. Even if you think you have everything under control, that final month of planning is worth its weight in gold. Shelby's expertise, vendor relationships, and calm professionalism made our wedding day absolutely perfect.

ng day itself, Shelby was calm, organized, and incredibly supportive. She kept everything on track behind the scenes so the couple and all of us could be fully present and enjoy every moment. Thanks to her attention to detail and thoughtful guidance, the day was seamless and truly unforgettable. I highly recommend Shelby to any couple looking for a planner who brings both professionalism and genuine care to every step of the process.

ert Disco, which was a fantastic connection, and helped us fine-tune our schedule to ensure everything flowed smoothly. On wedding day, she adapted quickly, making necessary schedule adjustments to keep things on track. She executed everything efficiently, running around as needed to make sure no detail was overlooked. We only had one small hiccup with a golf cart at the venue, but overall, her support made a huge difference in our day! We appreciated her direct, no-fluff approach—straight to the point and effective. In our planning meeting she asked insightful questions we hadn’t even considered, which helped us plan better. She also provided valuable guidance on tipping—who to tip, how much, and when—which was incredibly helpful. Beyond coordination, she was willing to assist with last-minute pickups and food runs, making the process even smoother. Everything was handled with transparency and professionalism. Highly recommended!

ines and schedules. She was always available for video calls, phone, and email. I cannot recommend her services enough. Her level of detail and helpfulness is unmatched. We had a perfect wedding, and that was all thanks to Shelby.

decisions with us, which was enormously helpful (especially when planning a destination wedding, where we were less familiar). She was so patient and communicative; always responsive and comforting to our hundreds of questions or concerns. Shelby strategizes and executes well. She worked well with the other vendors and took on the bulk of the communication leading up to the wedding, which was so appreciated during this time. I always felt more calm and prepared after working with Shelby. On our wedding day, I have no idea if anything went wrong -- it absolutely could have, but Shelby and April were so calm, organized, and positive, that I could not tell. Their skill allowed my family and I to focus on the celebration of the day without having to think about any details. Shelby and April even went out of their way to prepare taper candles, which are extremely tedious, so that my family did not have to. I am so thankful that we were able to work with Shelby. She is clearly a pro at her job and is amazing to work with. Highly, highly recommend!!

o her personal home before the wedding, to helping execute every little detail on the day of. She did an excellent job communicating with vendors and keeping us updated. We loved working with her and HIGHLY recommend her for as a planner for your next event!

the day. We spent 2 hours with Shelby going over all the last-minute details - some we hadn't yet thought of - and having her in our corner was so worth it. Our day went exactly as planned, and communication was great. As another plus, we hadn't visited our venue in person, but Shelby had done weddings there before, so it was super helpful to know she was familiar with everything. We didn't have to worry about anything, which was such a relief!

dors, creating day of timeline, answering our multitude of questions. Completely professional in all of our interactions. Very organized in doing the rehearsal with a large group of bridesmaids and groomsmen. Day off she was always calm, always on top of everything yet not dominant in our time. She worked seamlessly with the other vendors. She did a magical job with our candles in the ballroom! Highly recommend Shelby and her team.

by asked about aesthetic, design, or theme I paused. I laughed and said something like no drama or chaos, and a chill vibe - is that a design aesthetic? She heartily laughed then responded with a quip about human behavior, weddings, and, if necessary, the “mom voice”. In that moment I knew that I could be myself and our personalities worked well together; it would also complement my now husband’s personality as well. We could face the inevitable unknowns and chaos as a team. Shelby proceeded to ask thoughtful questions to get to know us and understand our style. I was able to tell her more about what we didn’t like/want than what we did. Yet, she was able to suggest a vendor that wasn’t on my radar and perfect for us. By the end of our conversation, it was clear Shelby would introduce levity and humor to the experience (lots of it), expertly navigate our cast of characters (which she definitely did), and keep everything on track (and ahead of schedule when weather threatened). We could not have anticipated how phenomenal Shelby would be the month leading up to our wedding. She far exceeded any expectation or thought we had about the experience. Before our month-out meeting, we shared our planning “binder” with Shelby.She reviewed it in advance of our meeting and arrived with excellent follow-up questions and suggestions. We included a fair number of DIY additions to the decor that came with some design ideas (from n00bs, to be clear), and Shelby was totally on board with making it work. It was important to us that the things we made be included, but she really pulled it all together in a way that worked. We were confident Shelby understood the “vision” and, if there were issues the day of, she would handle it with that vision in mind. We discussed all of the details, including the things we would need to figure out a few days before or the day of our wedding because of family health issues. Shelby was compassionate and supportive, and ready with plans A-Z for whatever happened. And, at the rehearsal, when there were several new ideas or suggestions for family needs, Shelby looked to me. I said that we’d proceed with the original plan and she moved us along to the next step. But, if needed, she was ready to step in and handle the moment. There were several moments throughout the rehearsal where I appreciated our visual check-in and unspoken alignment on how to handle the moment. Shelby’s fantastic communication skills and calm approach really kicked in at this time, and she masterfully handled several challenges and concerns that arose with a vendor. One day a few weeks before the wedding when things started to go sideways with a vendor, my now husband commented “Shelby is already on it, as usual”. Shelby gifted us peace of mind and support when we really needed it. Everything was exquisite the day of the wedding. When the curtains were pulled back in the ballroom, I was overcome with emotion. Shelby and her team attended to every detail and the execution exceeded anything we envisioned. We had a great time without a worry because Shelby was on it. Shelby is as incredible a person as she is an event planner. Your day will be full of joy and happiness if you work with Shelby. We cannot recommend Shelby and Shelby Your Day Events enough.

dings since 2009 and the value of a planner like Shelby is invaluable. You have most likely spent a long time dreaming of what your wedding day is going to be like, you know exactly what you want or need help in completing what you are dreaming about. In talking with couples they imagine laughter, a sense of calm, family and friends relaxing and enjoying what you all have planned and it is a beautiful vision. What couples don't realize is with out a planner like Shelby, all that responsibility is on your family or a venue event manager (That also has 2-5 events happening at the same time or giving tours during your wedding day) or even worse...YOU. I can't imagine that kind of stress. But, sadly, I see the effects of it numerous times a year. Details are forgotten, parts of your day run late and I have seen what it does to those dreams. Shelby is a careful and masterful planner that communicates well with all the wedding pros that support your dreams. She has a creative mind to enhance your vision and make it extra special. She is kind and is focused on your wedding day and she willing takes on all that stress so YOU do not have to and she does it because she enjoys it! Imagine that! Shelby Your Day Events is a WORTHY investment.

letely off and it was such a positive experience. No more stress and I could actually enjoy my engagement. Highly recommend.

aff, to our rental company showing up fifteen minutes before our rehearsal dinner (3 hours late!) to hastily put up lights while our guests were nervously mingling and waiting for them to finish to take their seats for dinner, Shelby met everything with incredible steadiness and aplomb. She solved the problems and kept everything on track. Our wedding day was perfect, with Shelby calmly and quietly steering everything behind the scenes. I can't quite express how grateful my wife and I are for Shelby's exceptional work, and cannot recommend her highly enough!

ndors and ensure we could look forward to the big day without stress. Shelby is unflappable and able to solve complex problems on the fly. She left us feeling secure and enjoying the day with our friends and family. In the end, we had a beautiful wedding and couldn't be happier.

:) would HIGHLY Rec Shelby and her team! 10/10

NOT have had the same amazing wedding experience if it weren't for Shelby Your Day Events. We planned our Santa Fe wedding all the way from the East Coast but the entire process was smooth because of Shelby's helpfulness, organization, and communication. If I needed something measured at our venue - she would visit the location and have the measurements to me within two days. Every month following up to the wedding, she kept us on track with deadlines and to-do's, was the main contact to our vendors, and promptly answered any questions or concerns that we had. She ensures all the details are thought of ahead of time so that we truly got to enjoy our wedding day. Besides being the organized-ying to my ADHD-yang, something I really appreciated about Shelby was the way she handled minor hiccups during the day of our wedding. When something didn't go to plan, Shelby would either A) whisper in my ear to ask if I wanted to change it (like when the speeches were being done in a different location as planned and we quickly rearranged that everything went great), or B) smile and say "its fine" (like when my dad told the flower girl to start walking down the aisle - even though it was not time). Things like this will always pop up during weddings but Shelby's way of handling them was the perfect mix of being proactive & nonchalant that the issues were NEVER a big deal. She laughed with us, she cried with us, but also had no issue telling us when it was time to get it together, lol. She's a true subject matter expert and we could not recommend her enough!

e hesitant about getting a wedding planner, but Shelby offered the perfect blend of services that tailored to our exact needs. I really do not think I would have been able to fully be in the moment and enjoy every second of my wedding without Shelby's help!

It was terrific to work with Shelby and have her by our side throughout the process, especially since we were planning a destination wedding. She helped us hone in on how we wanted Ashley & Charlie's wedding day to feel for them and our guests. Shelby is excellent at problem-solving and helping make decisions when roadblocks popped up. We had no idea what to expect from a wedding planner since this was the first wedding we had planned, Shelby exceeded our expectations and was sensitive to our budget. She was patient, professional, and highly attentive to our wants. For example, Shelby was able to help us execute Ashley's desire to serve her favorite Santa Fe dessert from a local cafe and still have the most beautiful cake table and pictures to resemble a traditional cake cutting. We loved working with her and would highly recommend Shelby to plan any event or wedding. If you like a good communicator and someone who is responsive, SHELBY is hands down the way to go!

so professional, calm, and wonderful to work with. They made sure me and my bride were able to just show up and have a great time on our wedding day. Shelby really knows her stuff and she is so on top of every little detail. We owe her so much for making our wedding day so seamless and wonderful. THANK YOU!!

logistical nightmare, with a remote and non-traditional venue we had booked long before hiring a planner. Through it all, Shelby was steady, clear, efficient, kind, ready with a laugh, ready with some excellent question or suggestion that hadn't occured to us. She saved the day over and over again and gave us the wedding of our dreams. My husband and I absolutely loved working with her and when we next throw an event, she will be our first phonecall.
