HI! I'm Leann! I have lived in Bend Oregon since 1997. Originally from the Boston area, I am a diehard "everything to do with New England" sports fan! I began my career in the event industry in 2011. One day, I was asked help coordinate a wedding and I was hooked! For the next 6 years I continued to follow my passion as a wedding and event coordinator. In 2014 I decided to start my own business, Shine Events! Relationships are a priority with us. We take the time to get to know you and your passions. You can trust us to guide you and support you along this wonderful journey to marriage!

Leann at Shine events is incredible! We had an absolute wonderful time working with her. She and her team listened to what we were hoping for on our special day and they made it happen! We worked with her to get the vendors we wanted and Leann and her team made sure on our day they knew what to do and how we wanted it done. We had an incredible wedding day, with all the pieces falling into place without a glitch. We are so grateful for the time, effort, and care Leann and her team put into every detail.
I can't say enough how amazing it was to have Shine Events take our stress away so we could focus on being together and being with our family and friends.
Thank you thank you thank you Leann and Shine Events we are so grateful!

We loved having Leann and her team work with us for our wedding! As soon as I spoke with Leann during our first consultation meeting I knew I'd want her with us during our wedding. She is friendly and prepared, she is calm and professional. On the day of the wedding there was no stress whatsoever and she made us feel supported the whole time. Meetings with her were easy and efficient, and she really helped our vision come to life. We can't speak highly enough of Leann Schoales and her team!

We have been working with the everysteady Leann for a year and a half now. It has been particularly challenging planning for a wedding in these strange times we find ourselves in. There has been a great need for pivots, plan b's, plan c's, etc. Throughout every step - forwards, sideways and sometimes backwards, Leann has been right there with us, bringing her never-ending patience, optimism and professionalism. She has gone above and beyond to help navigate us through these unprecedented times and we trust her wholly and implicitly to see our wedding vision through, down to the minute details, for our special day. Thank you, Leann for being such a solid rock during this craziness. We're so blessed to have you leading our team. The Eastland-Quinn families so appreciate you..!!

We started planning our dream wedding in January of 2019, and were quickly overwhelmed by the balancing act of navigating so many vendors and details! While we had been able to take on the early stages of planning ourselves, we wanted to bring in a professional for at least the day-of, so we could enjoy every moment of the wedding with our loved ones, stress-free. We sought out Leann's services in July of that year, with the intention that she would be our "Day-Of" coordinator for our July 2020 wedding. Fast forward to March 2020, and everything changed. To say that Leann has gone above and beyond would be an understatement. While a certain level of stress can be expected with wedding planning, the events of the past year have been, and continue to be extraordinarily difficult. Leann has been with us every step of the way during this unprecedented chapter. When we made the decision to postpone, Leann handled every detail, with professionalism and proficiency. She contacted every vendor, including our venue, and reported back to us so we could make informed decisions, without the overwhelm of the back and forth correspondence. This speaks to her organized, detail-oriented nature, and creative approach to problem solving that we have experienced. To every meeting, Leann has brought savvy expertise, guidance, compassion, empathy, and most valued, a sense of calm. She validates every feeling, answers every question, and truly understands our needs. My fiancé and I have now made the difficult decision to postpone our wedding again. While this has resulted in personal feelings of disappointment and heartache, Leann has never let us lose sight of our "why". She is there to remind us that our day WILL happen, and WILL be filled with the joy, excitement, and fun that we have always envisioned. And, once again, she has taken care of every behind the scenes detail. Throughout this process - Leann has taken the time to get to know my fiancé and I, and our families, and leads every meeting with our wishes, hopes, and dreams at the center. She has been both a listening ear and a steadfast advocate. Leann truly cares about her clients, and you feel this every step of the way. We truly cannot recommend Leann and her team at Shine Events enough - this was by far the best decision we could have made (aside from the day that we FINALLY get to say “I Do” 😊).

Hiring Leann and her team at Shine Events to be part of our big day was hands down the BEST decision I made throughout my year long planning journey. Leann is the best. She goes above and beyond to help you out, asks all the questions (that despite my best planning efforts had forgotten to ask), and made sure every little detail came together perfectly on the day of the wedding. I didn't have to worry about a thing which allowed me to just enjoy all the people who came to the wedding! The Shine Events Team are true professionals and very experienced - don't hesitate to hire them!

Hiring Leann with Shine Events for our wedding was the best decision we made. She was so easy to work with. The first time we met she composed a wedding timeline rough draft. Huge relief and weight off my shoulders! She always returned my emails so fast and was always so eager to answer any questions along the way. I really enjoyed her down to earth easy going personality. She made my wedding flow without a single flaw. Highly recommend her!
