One of our guests even requested Yvonne's information for future events. Yvonne arrived promptly at the time we discussed, she set up everything, and picked it all up afterwards. She was very easy to talk to and get in touch with. The china itself was gorgeous, the bride was thrilled and it brought the theme together. Thank you, Yvonne!

I was so excited to have this adorable mobile bar to serve refreshment to our guests before and…read moreafter our wedding ceremony. From the first email, Cindy was great to work with--helpful, kind, with great communication and non-pushy suggestions. Then, in the few days before the wedding, some unexpected and significant challenges arose --and that's when Cindy really proved that she was there for us. When things could have fallen apart, Cindy met each obstacle with determination--for each problem, she came armed with viable solutions. She literally ran from town-to-town, distributor-to-venue, and call-to-call, endlessly. I said this directly to her, and I stand by it: it's easy to have a good business, when everything goes smoothly; but the test of anything and anyone is when things go badly. And Cindy is the person you want on your side when things go badly. So--beyond a beautiful bar car, and DELICIOUS offerings (not only were the adult beverages excellent, but the mocktail options rocked everyone)-- I cannot say enough good things about Cindy and her Bellissimo Bar Company.

The most important thing is she does it all with a smile and always makes her clients feel like they are top priority to her, because they are. Our wedding went off without a hitch thanks to Becky and her amazing service. We truly could not thank her enough and will definitely recommend her to others who are in need of assistance for their big day, whether it's partial or full wedding planning she's THE BEST there is. Thank you so much Becky for all your help and for most importantly being the best person we could have found!

Becky was the Xanax in human form and her organization and communication was such a source of comfort. Becky coordinated seamlessly with our vendors to make sure everyone was on the same page leading up to the event. She created a day of itinerary that was left in a shared google drop box so that any changes were easily added and communicated. As much as we left room for error or delay in our timeline, everything went to smoothly that it almost wasn't necessary. On the day of the wedding, Becky checked in on me to see if I needed anything and reminded me to enjoy my day. I was able to enjoy the day to the fullest due to her preparation and execution. I was extremely stubborn about using a wedding planner and insisted I could plan everything, but was totally kidding myself. Do yourself a favor and get yourself a Becky, my only regret was not hiring her sooner in my planning process.

Choosing Shannon Gale and their wedding planning team was one of the best decisions we made for our…read moreLabor Day weekend Indian-Western wedding. A friend had recommended them with the promise that I would feel completely at ease--and that proved true from the very beginning. Shannon paired us with Cecelia McIntosh, who turned out to be the most exceptional project manager I've ever worked with, not just in the wedding world but across all of my professional experiences. Cecelia's attention to detail was extraordinary. She cataloged every element of our multi-day Indian-Western celebration, managed vendor relationships with grace, secured us excellent deals where she had negotiating power, and offered thoughtful recommendations--like the perfect florals for our mehendi ceremony. She understood the cultural nuances of our events, from the importance of removing shoes at the mandap to the way certain rituals needed to be set up. She took ownership of everything: carrying and setting up décor, assembling seating charts, ensuring plate service was flawless, and keeping the entire wedding running with a level of timing and precision that every single guest commented on. There were moments where Cecelia truly went above and beyond--most memorably when she calmly and safely helped transport a ceremonial fire to an unexpected location, taking control of a situation that could have easily become chaotic. She handled every last-minute request without hesitation, kept our planning calls on schedule, and brought a sense of structure, warmth, and professionalism that made her an absolute dream to work with. As someone who is naturally a very thorough planner, I stepped into my wedding days feeling completely calm, knowing Cecelia had everything handled. Because of her, I was able to be fully present and simply enjoy our celebration. I cannot recommend Shannon Gale and Cecelia more highly--they are truly among the best planners you could ever hire.

Hiring Marie from Shannon Gail Events was hands-down the best decision we made for our wedding…read more From start to finish, Marie was an absolute dream to work with--calm, organized, joyful, and endlessly professional. Her attention to detail, reassuring presence, and ability to handle every situation with grace made the entire planning process not only stress-free, but genuinely enjoyable. Marie took care of everything--from recommending absolutely incredible vendors, to assisting with design choices that brought our vision to life, to managing the many complicated logistics that come with having a wedding in a tent (think: flooring, electricity, bathroom access--you name it, she handled it). She consistently went above and beyond to make sure every element of our wedding weekend was perfect, and she did it all with a warm smile and steady confidence that kept us grounded and excited throughout. Marie brought our vision to life with such care and expertise--it honestly felt like we had a close friend guiding us every step of the way. She even took the time to thoughtfully put together all the welcome bags for our guests and, throughout the entire wedding weekend, handled every single detail so that we didn't have to worry about a thing. We were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment, knowing Marie had it all under control. If you're planning a wedding and want someone who is not only deeply experienced and connected in the wedding world, but also kind, attentive, and truly invested in your day, Marie is it. We love Marie so much that we wish we had another event to plan just so that we could continue to work with her! We are beyond grateful for her and cannot recommend her highly enough!

Again, they did not disappoint. Cindy's attention to detail is remarkable. She recommended the venue and took the reigns. From the flowers, decor and layout it was perfect. She suggested so many fun things...like a s'mores bar for dessert where guests assembled and "cooked" their own!
