I had the absolute pleasure working with Shirleen Finney! I cannot describe in words how amazing she is as a professional and as a wonderful human being. Shirleen joined us at an extremely busy time.. she worked under pressure, in stressful situations, and always was positive, collaborative, creative and overcame all challenges. My responsibilities are to contract large groups within the corporate market here at a 5-diamond hotel in downtown Boston, Massachusetts. I've worked over 20 years in the hospitality industry in both sales & operations and have not met anyone like Shirleen. She is genuine, always a Team player, has a great sense of humor and exemplifies what is means to be a true hospitality professional. Many of our Team were in tears when Shirleen's assignment came to an end. (After many extensions) We hope she returns to Boston soon! read more

Shirleen is truly following her calling in life and that is to be an amazing event coordinator and wedding planner. I got to really see her do her thing at my friend's wedding and it was amazing to watch her in action. The wedding was incredible and it was on a farm, outside and involved a barn. It was so beautiful and well crafted down to every little detail. She is warm, friendly, professional and just loves what she does...you can see a sparkle in her eye as she leads a team through every section of the wedding and making sure it's all perfectly executed with a smile on her face. I would highly recommend her for any event you want to be amazing and have someone plan it out who really cares about the end result. read more

There is a line Shirleen once said that always stays with me."We can work hard and we can do it while looking good." That line makes me laugh because it is completely spot on. It is also exactly what makes Shirleen stand out. I was lucky to be able to work with Shirleen for a short time and let me tell you, I was impressed with her from day one. I've been working in hospitality for over a decade and it's not very often you come across an individual with such focus and attention to detail, who also manages to look put together 24/7. Seriously, I have seen her work a room after a long day and I do not know where this boundless energy comes from. But here is what I do know - Shirleen is amazing at what she does and I would highly recommend her services to anyone. read more

Shirleen is awesome. She's passionate about what she does, friendly, warm, professional, detail oriented and very helpful in every way! She's more than what I expected. Not only she cares about the logistics, she calms me down and encourages me when I'm stressed out. I wasn't going to hire any wedding coordinator at first, but it was so worth it. I was at peace because she was confident and she constantly reminded me that she'd take care it -that's why she's there. I'm so glad to be able to work with and meet with such a wonderful lady, inside & out. read more

Having Shirleen help plan and be there on the day of our wedding was simply God-sent! She was so easy to work with, a professional and great with people which is what you need on your special day! It's been 16 months since Shirleen helped us and we still think of her fondly and know that because of her we and our family and friends had an amazing day! read more

My wedding was three months ago and I'm still on a silly giggly high from it. The best day of my life so far was brought into being by the grace of Shirleen. She went above and beyond her duties as wedding planner and just dreamed with us. It was all about getting it done in three months (or less!) with ease and she did it so gracefully. I didn't know what to do as a civilian but I tried to set up a few things before turning everything over with sighs of relief to Shirleen. I couldn't recommend her more. I'd give her more stars if I could. My day went by so smoothly and quickly and it all has to do with Shirleen's calm guidance and generous heart. Our face to face meeting was about four hours long and gave me so much insight and clarity! It was full of both practical scheduling fun and real, thoughtful spiritual counseling from Shirleen. Can't say enough about how wonderful she is and how much I want you to give up what [little, perceived] control you have over your event and hand it over to someone so capable and masterful at her craft that you'll be promising her your future baby showers and birthdays and stuff like that... because that's what she inspires from people! Thank you, Shirleen! You're the best and brightest at what you do. read more

Let's Plan It Together - We couldn't be happier with the way Shirleen guided us - physically and emotionally - through the wedding process! - Party & Event Planning Near Me

Shirleen Finney from Let's Plan It Together is the absolute best when it comes to wedding planning. Just from our first consultation meeting Shirleen's passion and knowledge for event planning was evident. Let's be honest on 2 things: 1) Event Planners plan weddings constantly so while it may be your first/only wedding you need to find a planner who is excited about your wedding. 2) At some point during your wedding planning (maybe at many points) we all need a "veteran" to get us through though obstacles and emotionally calm us down. Like many couples planning a wedding, we meet with A LOT of vendors and you can tell the difference between those who are genuinely interested in your event and their job and those who "play along". Shirleen came with excitement for our wedding, the knowledge as a "seasoned" event planner and the wisdom of a married women herself. During the wedding we were able to simply enjoy our celebration. Shirleen kept our schedule on-track, the food coming, the music playing and the celebration going. Thanks Shirleen for helping us plan our amazing wedding! Side Note: At first we thought we would just delegate task to the bridal party/friends to take care of the many wedding day items. DO NOT DO IT. Putting that stress on your family/friends when they should be celebrating with you is not worth it. Call Shirleen or go to the website, get a quote and get a free consultation. The consultation only takes 30 minutes. You will see the difference. read more

Shirleen is truly the real deal! She helped us create a seamless, beautiful wedding in a not so easy environment. The rustic outdoor setting created some issues and she found ways to make them work and look awesome! Without Shirleen's help we would have made the mistake of ordering an undersized dance floor for the amount of people we invited, but she carefully combed through every detail and made sure issues like that did not happen. We are so grateful for her expertise!!! Many thanks and love to the best wedding coordinator! Austin and Jenny Richey read more

Let's Plan It Together - We loved having you coordinate our wedding! - Party & Event Planning Near Me

Shirleen is a gem! I first met her when we were both working at a major convention center near Los Angeles, where Shirleen was in charge of catering and logistics for the many groups that used our facilities. Whether large or small, big budget or tiny, you could expect her clients to rave about the care and attention Shirleen brought to their event. She is blessed with an exceptional sense of style and a personality that's a perfect fit for helping others achieve their dream occasion. I am disappointed that we are no longer working together professionally, but Shirleen will be my first call if I need to plan a wedding, anniversary or any other special event. She is a gifted and remarkable woman. Patty Quiroz read more

Shirleen planned my going away party and it was awesome. She asked my preference in food and even made sure she included my favorite dessert - apple pie! The presentation was wonderful from the beautiful china to the flowers and table decorations. I know that she chose the flowers herself. That's how committed she is to client satisfaction. Everything was color coordinated and very classy. I could tell that she had taken a sincere interest in planning the event. I don't think she missed any details. The party was a hit with all of my guests. Everyone enjoyed a warm comfortable atmosphere for socializing and tasted a variety of delicious food. She had listened to my preferences and carried out my wishes. Shirleen made it work. My party was a great success. What a fitting finale as I said "goodbye" to my company and co-workers. Shirleen is passionate about her clients and event planning. No matter what type of event you want assistance with, lets-plan-it-together is the company you need to contact. read more

Shirleen coordinated my wedding when she worked at the Pasadena Convention Center and my husband and I could not have asked for a more professional, kind, on-top-of-her-stuff person. We clicked with her right away and she listened to all of our concerns and made everything work! On top of that, she knows how crazy expensive the wedding industry can get and came up with beautiful ideas without breaking the bank. I actually remarked that we should just hire her as our wedding coordinator. On the day of the wedding, everything ran beautifully and there was no stress whatsoever. Wedding planning can be very stressful but Shirleen pulls everything together and allows you to enjoy your big day. read more

When planning an event, you need someone reliable with experience, who appreciates every detail. Someone that demonstrates professionalism, enthusiasm and trustworthiness. Shirleen is ALL of these things. Being in the industry for quite some time, I applaud Shirleen. Look at her portfolio, her events have been extraordinary.

Shirleen is incredible. Her enthusiasm and energy are infectious, her work ethic is unrivalled and her attention to detail is outstanding! A colleague and I flew from London to Los angeles to host a business meeting with around 50 guests at the Omni Hotel. Shirleen made us feel extremely welcome - even going as far as booking me in with her amazing hairdresser and inviting me for an evening out with her and her friends- and made sure that everything went as smoothly as possible at the meeting itself. Any task or event - no matter how big or small - will be done to perfection, but the best thing about the whole experience was Shirleen herself. I would not hesitate to recommend her for anyone out there who wants peace of mind. Bess, Client From London read more

If you are looking for a stylish and fashionable planner for your events this is the lady to go to. Shirleen doesn't just specialize in weddings though I do believe that it is her calling. She is one of those amazingly warm and considerate planner- a rare find. When you have a event whether it is a wedding or just a special occasion you need set up, don't look any further. I have referred a few friends to her, and she has been able to get their anxiety under wraps by giving them some really great advice. In all honestly she is able to get their "dream" event into a "real" event that is amazing. She also gives them her honest opinion about what would work, could work, may not work, this is an unusal find for a planner I find, as most would probably just want to say yes to everything so that they could get your $. This is definetely not that type of planner! So, bottom line-make your event a sucess by finding the best one to do it for you. Thank you Shirleen for all the help you have given me! read more

Shirleen is truly great at what she does. I have had the pleasure of having Shirleen as my daughter's day of wedding coordinator. My daughter, being quite particular, knew exactly what she wanted in a planner and Shirleen was just that. She was organized, polite, professional, got the job done well, and all with a fantastic attitude. Both myself and my daughter were more than comfortable turning over the day to Shirleen and completely trusting of her expertise to make sure everything went smoothly. She was a wonderful choice and I highly recommend her to coordinate your big event. read more

Shirleen is the only reason I would do a wedding again! She was calm, organized, polite and yet commanding. There was not ONE thing that went wrong the day of our wedding, which is a miraculous comment for anyone who has plunged into these waters before! I loved her from the first meeting, and it never changed. I trusted her, and that only grew with every encounter along the way. I cannot recommend her highly enough, and I am a high maintenance actress! Thank you, Shirleen, for making my daughter's dream easy and joyful. Love, Dee Wallace read more
