Exceeded expectations from start to finish! We originally thought we could plan our wedding ourselves, but hiring Sylver Weddings & Events was the best decision we made. They took so much off our plate and helped keep things organized, calm, and fun. On the day of, they had everything under control -- from the timeline to setup to managing vendors. Our wedding went off without a hitch! read more

DO NOT BOOK STACY SHAW TO OFFICIATE YOUR WEDDING!!!! Honestly should have trusted my gut from our first meeting with her and backed out. She was very cold and seemingly trying to get through our virtual meetings as fast as possible. Our ceremony was fine- very short and simple which was what we wanted and she left right after. After our wedding day we were so happy to just finally be married after a COVID postponement and done with all the planning and then we got a letter in the mail from the county clerk saying that they NEVER RECEIVED OUR MARRIAGE LICENSE!!! I emailed her immediately asking her what happened - no response. I called my planner to see if she could reach out to her cuz I never got her phone number. She got Stacy on the phone and she said that she had responded to my email, had mailed the license in and it must have gotten lost in the mail but that she had scanned a copy, would pay for any fees for a replacement, and was going to confirm with the county clerk and get back to me. A week passed and nothing - I send her more emails with no response. I finally get her on the phone and she said she's waiting for them to get back to her and should know if a few days. Another week passes, I try calling her back and am sent straight to voicemail. I call the county clerk- they answer very quickly and tell me that they never got my license and that the deadline is in two days. They tell me the process for a lost license is actually pretty easy- I just need the witnesses and the officiant to sign off on the new one and pay the fee! I've been desperately trying to get in touch with Stacy and she's just blatantly ignoring me at this point. She's blocked my number and I'm pretty sure she's a pathological liar. No idea why she can't just help fix this MASSIVE problem she created, especially when its such an easy fix. We're extremely saddened by this situation and so angry that we paid her almost $500 for essentially, nothing. We're having to make an appointment to get get remarried at the courthouse. read more

I was referred to Stacy Shaw through LadyMarry, where I was able to select between 2 Wedding Day of Coordinators with only knowing their background and no names so I was unable to search reviews. I decided to go with Stacy because she said she had 5 years experience. Below are reasons why I have given her 1 star for my review: 1. She was late in sending my wedding timeline and said it was sent to the "incorrect e-mail". Once the timeline was approved by me and supposedly sent to my vendors, they unfortunately were not. My photographer, caterer and DJ had to e-mail requesting the timeline and Stacy said the "timeline apparently didn't go out correctly to most vendor's". I believe the timeline never went out in the first place as I never had issues with communicating with the vendors. 2. I was not reminded of any vendor payments leading me to be late in paying some of my vendors even though this was stated in my contract that Stacy would remind me. I had sent out every contract to Stacy at least 6-10 months prior to the wedding so she was aware of all of the dates. 3. During the day of the wedding I asked her to help light candles during cocktail hour, unfortunately once I was up there, none of the candles were lit. I made sure to ask that the candles during dinner were lit incase those were forgotten as well. 4. Before the wedding, I handed her all the menus and table numbers. I told my bridesmaid to check that all the table numbers were placed correctly before all the guests headed to dinner and NONE were placed, my bridesmaid had to remind Stacy. During dinner I noticed NO menu's were placed on each guests table setting, and I had to tell my bridesmaid to run and inform Stacy, and that's when she handed each guest a menu. I would like to state that my wedding still went smoothly with the help of all my bridesmaids, but this review is to warn you that no bride would need to pay for these awful services. Despite my best efforts in trying to help coordinate, I was still disappointed because I feel like I could have done without a coordinator at all with these services i received. read more

Stacy has a spitfire personality and when we first corresponded, I knew we would get along well. She informed me she was a very "hands on" coordinator and she did not exaggerate. Stacy was literally on her hands and knees helping me with my train that unfortunately was ripped out of its bustle. Fear not, she would hand sew it on, pin it, anything to ensure I was comfortable in my dress. Coordination wise, the day of went flawlessly; not that there weren't hiccups, but Stacy made sure our timeline went smoothly, even when we were a little behind d/t circumstances that were out of our control. I didn't want or need for anything and what makes it even better, I was able to ENJOY my wedding. Please consider her when looking for a planner/coordinator. Stacy and her team are all sweethearts. read more

I hired Stacy to do weekend-of coordination for my insane-over-the-top-weekend-long-burning-man-style wedding in May of 2019. It was three days of craziness at a summer camp, but Stacy assured me she could handle it. Turns out she couldn't. Stacy promised me three assistants for the duration of the weekend - which turned out to be one actual grown person who did this kind of work professionally for a living and Stacy's two minor children. These kids spent most of their time either goofing off until someone came and told them to do a task, whining about the amount of work, or arguing with mom. They required insane amounts of babysitting and actually distracted Stacy from her work. Stacy's children have neither the maturity nor the training and professional demeanor required for this industry - and they were a completely inappropriate staffing choice for an event of this size and magnitude. There were also some pretty egregious regulatory violations committed by Stacy's staff. At one point the first day, I caught two of her folks SMOKING on site -- a MASSIVE legal infringement (in a national forest in a state that has been catching fire every 15 minutes over the past couple of years) that could have gotten her entire staff kicked off the property for the weekend and landed us with a $10,000 fine from the national park service! I also witnessed her son handling bagels and rolls (and her daughter serving pizza to my guests) with their BARE HANDS! I provided Stacy with DETAILED descriptions of what I wanted in terms of décor, food service, the activities to occur during each segment of the weekend. However, any planning was made irrelevant when much of my instruction disregarded the actual wedding weekend. I kept finding jobs left undone, decorations I had provided which were never put out, reception food laid out according to specification, and my eyeball jello shots meant for our toast randomly sitting out with the buffet food. Of course our biggest complaint was how much of our time we had to devote to doing Stacy's job. When we hired her, we were told that we just needed to show up and enjoy the weekend. Instead, we had to devote half the day Friday to decorating the reception hall (when it was supposed to be done mid-afternoon and by 3PM it was maybe a quarter finished and no one was taking any steps to get it completed), a big chunk of Saturday morning to setting up the ceremony site (when it was also not done and there was no activity in that direction even after breakfast ended), and a large part of Sunday morning helping break down/pack up. Stacy's "coordinating" of events was also not in line with what she assured us of when we contracted with her. As a bride, I shouldn't have to come ASK my coordinator what the procedure is for getting me down the aisle - that should have been something she prepped me on well before the actual ceremony. (Stacy didn't.) I shouldn't have to tell my coordinator that she was sending the flower girl and ring bearer down the aisle to the wrong music (which Stacy did) - she should be so familiar with our ceremony that she knows exactly what's happening at each point along the way. (Stacy was barely present for our rehearsal - screwing around on her phone and not paying attention while I led the run-through.) I shouldn't have to tell my reception emcee "Hey, we're supposed to do the cake pops and toast" or "Hey we're supposed to have a garter/bouquet toss" followed by "but Stacy hasn't said anything to me about how that's going to work and I don't see her setting anything up, so can you please go find out?" But the best part came late in the reception evening when I found out that Stacy had thrown away $800-$1000 worth of catering food, not only without either Ben's or my permission, but in direct contradiction of my verbal and written instructions. At a wedding where I've told my wedding coordinator that I want to take any uneaten food home (and where we've got "zero-muthaflippin' food waste" signs everywhere), she made an executive decision to toss the leftovers WITHOUT EVER SPEAKING TO ME ABOUT IT. Her justification when I confronted her about this of "we weren't going to have access to the kitchen after 7AM" was nowhere near acceptable - if she'd come to me and told me that beforehand, I would have said that I would be happy to get up at 7 and get the food out of the fridge myself. And Ben confided that Stacy asked him about throwing away the food and he told her specifically not to. As far as we're concerned, that's the equivalent of destroying our personal property. To add insult to injury, when I contacted Stacy about these concerns and asked for fair compensation for the thrown-out food, as well as the level of service that we were promised and did not receive -- Stacy did nothing. I didn't want to have to leave this review - but Stacy has given me no choice. If you're thinking about hiring her for your event, caveat emptor. read more

I was referred to Stacy on a Facebook group when, just 2 weeks before my wedding, both my officiant and back-up officiant fell through! I contacted her and she was beyond helpful and present. Then a cousin proposed being our officiant and, since we really wanted family to do it, we thanked her and passed. One week later HE FELL THROUGH! Man, I was so embarrassed to call Stacy again, just one week before the wedding. But we did call her and I am so glad that we did. Stacy rearranged her schedule for us to make it work. We had a GREAT phone call with her where we talked for probably an hour (I'm a talker, I'm sure you don't HAVE to talk that long, haha!) about everything from how we met to the embarrassing things we have done together drunkenly. It was such a fun phone call and at the end of it I knew she really understood our spirit. She had the ceremony written in just a few days and sent it to us for approval, she came to rehearsal, on our wedding day she dressed to match our all-white/pastel wedding, and the ceremony was just the most magical --I cried through the WHOLE thing! My entire wedding was gorgeous and, honestly, the happiest day of my life. So many people told me that my wedding was the most beautiful they had ever been to, and almost every one of them mentioned the ceremony and how much they loved the officiant. We were so dumb to wait so long to get an officiant, but SO lucky it worked out absolutely perfectly and we got Stacy. I couldn't recommend her more! I had wanted family to officiate our marriage, and by the end, she was exactly that. Thank you eternally, Stacy. read more

Absolutely fantastic! Stacy Everett wrote the ceremony and Charles Shaw was our officiant and we received SO MANY compliments on his service. He was short and sweet and direct to the point, Stacy had requested a little bio about our life since we were renewing our vows, everything came out Perfect, perfect, perfect experience! read more

Stacy was a great find for our civil ceremony inPalm Springs. I hired her over the phone from out of state and did not meet her until she married me!!! She has great communication skills and did exactly what I needed. I was having a hard time finding someone without having to pay for a lot of extra stuff we did not need. read more

Stacy was such a wonderful officiant for my November 2020 wedding. I really lucked out in finding her through the SBSN Facebook group. She has a warm, funny and upbeat personality. She's extremely flexible and we are very grateful for her role in our wedding day!! read more

I had the pleasure to work with Stacy at Pala Mesa recently. Not only she was on top of everything but she helped us with so many details on our wedding day. She was wonderful to work with. I highly recommend Stacy and her services! read more

I hired Stacy for my best friend's wedding. Everything turned out to be magical! She did an amazing job with everything she was involved in. She went above and beyond every step of the way.. all the details were addressed and handled. It allowed the bride and groom to enjoy their fantasy without the added burdens that a wedding brings. I shall always be deeply grateful for everything Stacy did.. We had an amazing event that has truly been a day and night to remember! Thank you, from the bottom of my heart! read more

I am a professional floral designer and had the pleasure of working with Stacy about 2 years ago at a wedding event. Stacy was nothing but professional, always making sure every vendor, guest and most importantly her clients had everything they needed. I am not friends with Stacey nor do we hang out but after reading that silly review from the unhappy client that gave Stacey the lowball review I felt I wanted to give my prospective. I would gladly work with Stacey again. Respectfully, Mary M. read more

Stacy was our Officiant she did an amazing job. Stacy has a lot of ceremony packages to choose from. We had a short ceremony that's what we wanted. We met her two days before our wedding. After our meeting we knew we pick the right Officiant. read more

I will refer her to everyone!!!! She is so reasonably price too for being such a rock star coordinator. HIRE STACY! I love her! read more

DO NOT FILTER THIS (my 2nd) REVIEW, or you'll be a poor sport. Apparently Stacy is confused. She posted two responses to my 1st review. Stacy's first response to my original review is the following: "I'm sorry that Tigerlove felt the need to try to force us to refund her money, however, 6 months after the wedding is too late to make such a request. If you would like to see her handwritten note given right after the event, please see our photo's. We added one of her Thank You note, that told us how much she appreciated our work. This review is a FALSE review that is intended to assist a bride who spent more than her budget allowed and is now trying to recoup her finances. Unfortunately, SYLVER WEDDINGS was ONLY hired for COORDINATION, and not PLANNING services. Please check out our filtered reviews here on Yelp, or the ones on Wedding Wire, which are a far more accurate representation of our services." Stacy's second response to my original review (URL: http://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=Yr9vNMrztS3VV1q2bsz2Ag) is the following: "I wanted to write out what the reviewer Tigerlove initially wrote to me. I'm adding a picture of the actual Thank You note she sent. She loved my work, had no problems, until 6 months after her wedding, when she experienced what I feel is called "buyers remorse". She realized she overspent, on a whole, and is trying to force vendor's to refund money. Looking at her reviews as a whole, she has NEVER been happy with anyone as far as Yelp Reviews. Anyway, here's the note: 'Hi Stacy, Thank you so very much for your help with everything. We are so blessed and grateful that you were able to help with things while at the wedding. A million times, Thank you! J & M'" ^If you're paying attention to details on Stacy's 2nd response (via the URL link above), it seems as though she wrote her comment from her personal profile to the Sylver Weddings profile with a 5 star rating. Did you all catch that? It's certainly 1 way to take advantage of the system to up her Yelp rating for the Sylver Wedding's profile instead of mending anything. Anyway, you have got to be kidding me! Stacy clearly wasn't paying attention already bc my review was posted 3 months after our wedding, not 6 months - her response to my review is 6 months later (do the math and look at the posted dates). Also, my review is not "false" as it is providing our experience, nor is my review even relevant to "assist a bride who spent more than her allowed budget and is trying to recoup her finances." Again, the review is based on the experience and Stacy's performance during my wedding through our eyes. Its not an attempt to "force" Sylver Weddings for a refund (Yelp isn't a small claims court). We did not reach out to attempt or inquire for a refund after our event on purpose (see 1st review). Also, Stacy was never involved with our budget therefore she has no idea what she's talking about. And to ensure she didn't have any involvement in our budget, we blacked out any dollar amount on all copies of our contracts on purpose so that she couldn't calculate anything ($$ amounts have nothing to do with coordinating the day of only service). Therefore there is no "buyers remorse" and a "force to vendors to refund money" is another irrelevant subject in her argument. The only remorse we have is not going with our initial gut feeling (see 1st review) bc the only vendor we had a problem with was Stacy, which is why we decided to post our review based on our experience and her performance with us. Additionally for the record, we maintained/matched our budget and did not need to use a credit card because we saved enough. But nice try on the attempt to make herself look as though she has no faults found here. Moving on, due to the venue's choice of coordinators, we did hire Stacy with high hopes, however as you can read in my 1st review her services were pretty sloppy when it came down to being appropriate and professional. In regards to the posted photo of the "handwritten thank you note" to Stacy after the event, that could be anyone's note to Stacy, therefore that photo is neither here nor there. And if you read it the posted photo of the card, it says "thank your for your help" and "we appreciate your help" - no where on that card did it say anything about absolutely loving her work (theres a fine line of help vs work). In the end we did sign a thank card because saying thank you in some way, shape, or form is always appropriate at the very least. Either way, clearly as you can read Stacy's responses to our review, her unprofessional standards speak loudly as she is trying to point fingers instead of acknowledging her unnecessary behavior and taking accountability of the bad experience we encountered with her on our wedding day. So rather than learning from her mistakes, it clearly seems as though her main concern is not for the client, but is only out to save herself. We wish you the best of luck. End of story. read more

I was the Maid of Honor at a wedding that was coordinated by Stacy, and she did such an amazing job I felt a positive review of her skills and services was ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. She is very well organized, personable, and reliable. She made sure that sure that everything went as smoothly as possible, I don't think we could have pulled it off without her. read more

I used sylver weddings services two years ago to marry my husband. I had been searching for months trying to find the right officiant, but didn't get much luck. I then stumbled across this website and am very grateful for that. She was very professional and easy going with my requests. Also punctual to every meeting we had and handled everything in a timely manner. I am very pleased with her services. The fact that she was in a part of our pictures is fine with me. She did join us together. read more
