    I can't say enough about these two wonderful ladies at SDEP! I was looking for an event stylist to take my tables up a notch/and the vibe of my event space. What I loved about SDEP was they will carve their services to your needs. I did not need a full blown event planner, I only needed certain things and they delivered! From intake to day of event, they took great care of me, sourced all of the table décor, checked in often and evolved my tables beautifully. Both Shannon and Dana are absolutely wonderful, consummate professionals and I would not hesitate to recommend or use them again! Thank you Ladies!

    We worked with Shannon McQuade to plan my parents' 60th wedding anniversary celebration, and I truly cannot imagine pulling it off without her. From our first meeting, Shannon was warm, organized, and thoughtful. She met with us multiple times over Zoom and in person, always making time to understand our vision and adjust to our (sometimes far-fetched!) requests. She helped us plan three events over the weekend, and handled everything from vendor coordination to sourcing flowers, décor, makeup artists, and more. Every vendor she brought on board was professional and excellent. But what really stood out was her patience and openness to feedback. She was never flustered, always found solutions, and made sure every detail was meaningful and beautiful. If you are looking for a planner who is organized, responsive, kind, and a true joy to work with, I recommend Shannon. I recommend her and her company without hesitation.

    Please PLEASE get a coordinator, they're worth their weight in gold. Shannon McQuade was no exception! From start to finish (a 16 month time frame on our end), Shannon was there coordinating her heart out to assist with contract reviews, spreadsheets (I see you, type A brides!), vendor management and even being willing to be personal security/"the bad cop" wherever needed, handling all things with confidence, even dispute resolution after the wedding with vendors. She truly is a miracle worker, and I'm happy to now also call her a friend. We hired her for partial planning and I am SO GLAD we did, even an organized person like me would've collapsed without her (and probably would've just ran away to elope instead). She even went out of her way to personally pick up a few things for me before the rehearsal since I was so unbelievably slammed, and saved me an extra trip when we'd had people flying in/staying with us. THANK YOU SHANNON for all you've done for Sean and I (and my dad); we are so grateful to you! You helped make our dream wedding day a reality.

    Dana made my wedding day so memorable, easy, and stress-free! Her hard-work, generosity, patience, & kindness gave us the most perfect wedding we could ever imagine! At the beginning of my wedding planning, I thought I could handle it without a wedding coordinator because my venue included a day-of coordinator. Rookie mistake. Last minute Dana was able to save the day, help organize and decorate, get all the boys in check, and ease all my stress! Thank you, Dana! You're a life saver!

    I had the pleasure of working with Shannon & her team for a wedding where my team and I were the hired photographer & videographer. I would like to share my experience working with SD Events. A few weeks before our couple's wedding, Shannon had reached out to me as well as the rest of the vendor team. She introduced herself and provided details such as the locations, phone numbers and the wedding day timeline. She was amazing to communicate with via email in the weeks & days leading up to the wedding. On the actual wedding day, my team and I were greeted by Shannon and she showed us where everything was in the venue and introduced us to the couple. She was such a huge help on the day of! She assisted us during the gettin ready photos and the first look. She kept a very good eye on the timeline and made sure we weren't falling behind. Overall, it was a pleasure to work with Shannon and her team! I will 100% recommend her to my couple's in need of a planner. Thank you Shannon for all your help and for a super smooth wedding day!!

    The amazing Shannon Mcquade of SD Event Production, and me on my wedding day!

    See all

    Here's the revised version:…read more The owner contacted me and offered a free event, which I declined, requesting a refund instead. She then offered a 20% refund and asked me to change my review, which I again declined. She claimed that despite paying for full event planning services, the event was subpar because I hadn't been involved in planning it. They didn't call. They didn't ask me to go their warehouse. They didn't do anything until the week of the event, when they tried to fit me into their random available times to walk them through my space via FaceTime. To clarify, I paid $2,000 for someone to plan and orchestrate an event. What I received was maybe a $200-$300 setup, and it's apparently my fault for not planning the event I paid someone to plan. She argued that I should have requested changes during the setup. However, I wasn't home at the time. The whole point of hiring this service was to arrive at a fully set-up event with my guests. When I arrived, they were still setting up as my guests were arriving (even though they were supposed to have been gone by then). So, there wasn't time to make changes, and it would have been an awkward conversation anyway. Instead of blaming me, they should have done the job they were paid to do or not sold the package in the first place. To add insult to injury, she compared this situation to eating a pizza and then requesting a refund. This was over $2k. It's not even close to ordering a pizza and asking for a refund. She ripped me off. I stand by my request for a full refund. She should have offered that refund on her own. This event was pitiful. I will never use their services again or recommend them to anyone.

Right away Kirin was extremely collaborative, answering our questions about the venue and big picture items. About two months before our wedding, our lead planner Katey got involved and you could immediately tell how much of an expert she was helping us coordinate communications between vendors and giving us recommendations on layouts and day-of timelines. The actual day we could not have imagined anything better from the team. Katey kept the day flowing and was so proactive in coordinating all our vendors and friends that had important roles for the wedding. Throughout the day she was constantly keeping things moving while maintaining such a positive and fun attitude that big or small thing she needed us to do felt so exciting to us. There were so many things going on that day, it was so great to be able to trust Katey to know when and where we had to be. If you're looking for any level of wedding planning definitely go with TLC!

They helped with the design and the less fun details like rentals contracts, lighting and staying within budget. During the event itself, they took care of tons of details behind the scenes so we wouldn't have to, and checked in regularly to see how they could support us. They were also kind, fun, and thoughtful. I'd recommend working with them to anyone looking for support in planning their wedding.

Throughout the entire selection/planning process, each member of Wild Thyme was professional and quick to respond, which made it that much easier for us. Guests continue to rave about the food that Wild Thyme provided, noting that it was some of the best food at a wedding they have ever had.

I asked a friend who is a chef and she said she used to work for Wild Thyme, I spoke to Sophie in the office and she quickly suggested a lunch menu of salads and sandwiches with cake and macarons for dessert. I asked to make changes and it was not a problem. She coordinated delivery of tables, chairs, and umbrellas on Friday. The catering team of Sasha and Sam arrived at 10:30 Sunday for 1 pm start. They used the garage as a staging area, Then they put out the tablecloths and paused so I could add the wreath centerpiece then put in the umbrellas. The buffet tables for, lunch, beverage station, and dessert were lined up and decorated along the side of the yard. They wrapped black tablecloths around our trash and recycling cans and bused the tables. We had coolers with beer and sodas but judging by the leftovers we could have gotten by with their tea and lemonade. This was like having a restaurant in the backyard. It is expensive but top quality and eliminates a lot of worry. I would do it again.
