Wedding Planning Plus

The best choice for our wedding was hiring Shannon! As a wedding photographer, I was very picky and opinionated about the look, feel, and flow of our wedding. We wanted someone who was going to say YES we can make that happen rather than NO we can't do that and I feel like Shannon and her team did that and more. She navigated many difficult issues with grace and made sure that nothing got in the way of us enjoying our day. Do yourself a favor and hire Wedding Planning Plus now!!! They are kind, hardworking, and organized and will make your wedding vision a gorgeous reality without the stress!

I'm not even sure where to begin. Shannon and her team were amazing.We decided to work with Shannon in October 2019 for our October 2020 wedding. Well.. the pandemic happened and there were a lot of unknowns but Shannon was encouraging, realistic and committed to our vision.We decided we would postpone it to May 2021. With most of our other vendors we had to go through their calendars to match up availability. With Shannon, we pretty much let her know the date we had in mind and she said she would have staff available. After postponing, the event guidelines changed multiple times. We were so thankful we had Shannon by our side to navigate through the situation.Our wedding day couldn't have run more flawlessly if we tried. We felt so relaxed and comfortable knowing that our wedding was essentially in the hands of Shannon, Alex and Jennifer. We loved that we didn't have to really deal" with any issues the day of.I would 100% recommend Shannon and her team with full confidence and I promise you would not regret it."

I had the privilege of working with Eliza to help plan my wedding and also for my day of coordination and I cannot recommend WPP enough. They made the planning process so much better for me and were always there to answer my questions and ease my mind. Not only was the planning process made so much better by them but the day of coordination was immaculate. They handled everything and made sure that everyone and everything was where they were supposed to be. I had a relaxing and stress free day knowing that I was in good hands. Our wedding was perfect and I give them most of the credit for it. If you're looking for the perfect planner, you've found them!

I seriously mean it when I say I could NOT have planned my wedding without this team! I worked the most with Alex and she was AWESOME!! Very friendly, professional, and always made me feel at ease. I feel like my stress level in planning a wedding was at an all time low because of Alex. She’s simply the best!! Thank you thank you thank you!!

Hiring Shannon was the best wedding planning decision we made! Because we live in Washington, DC, but got married in Lake George, we relied on Shannon for local knowledge as well as her general wedding expertise. From helping us find vendors (including our photographer and DJ, who we also loved!) to a seamless wedding day, Shannon kept us organized, focused, and calm.I first met Shannon when she planned and coordinated a friend’s wedding in which I was a bridesmaid. I was blown away by her professionalism, calm demeanor, and how easy she was to get along with. At that wedding, I told my then-boyfriend - “If we get married in upstate New York, we are definitely calling Shannon!” When we got engaged a year later, Shannon was the first vendor we reached out to after we found our venue and date. We hired her to help us find vendors and for day of coordination and she delivered big time on both fronts.At one of our final planning meetings, my now-husband said “I don’t know how anyone does this without a planner!” Having a wedding planner helped us make sure we were organized to host the biggest party of our lives, but working with Shannon specifically was so reassuring and fun. We felt completely comfortable - and grateful! - turning everything over to Shannon and relying on her to make sure our big day ran smoothly.

Shannon and her team are absolutely fantastic at what they do. We worked with Shannon for the month leading up to our wedding in Germantown, NY and she was a pleasure to work with in the run-up and on the day. We had several Zoom calls to run through the planning and logistics and Shannon thought of all of the details and helped us make decisions by offering thoughtful advice. On the day, Shannon and her team ensured everyone knew what they were doing and where to be. Our venue required us to hire everything from a caterer and florist to rentals, shuttles, golf carts, and a band and having someone to coordinate with all of the vendors and create a timetable was a lifesaver. We moved 150 people to three different sites on the venue throughout the day but everything worked like clockwork. Highly recommend Shannon and the Wedding Planning Plus team!

I was an event planner myself for years, so I hope it bears the weight intended when I say that our Wedding Planning Plus engagement was the best and most important money we spent on our wedding! Shannon and her team are incredibly well organized and thorough. I can’t overstate the quality of communication. Shannon is super responsive, and if she’ll be out of pocket for a wedding on a given weekend she always gives you PLENTY of advance warning so you can get any time-sensitive questions in first. They think of EVERYTHING and will make you feel so confident at every turn. What stands out in particular is how much Shannon helped with the collection and relocation of our gifts and speciality items at the end of the wedding, which I admit I had not thought about myself.In the weeks and months after the wedding, every time we reminisced on the weekend with our families, our parents ALWAYS mentioned how impressed they were with Wedding Planning Plus. They all felt like they were treated as specially as the bride and groom, with their every need seen to before they even had to ask! On a day that often feels as big and important for the parents as for the couple, that meant a lot to both us and our parents.Shannon has been doing this for years, and it shows! Her professionalism blew us away and she quickly became an important resource and sounding board for us throughout the planning process. I could not recommend her more highly!!

Shannon was nothing short of amazing! Our day went off without a hitch due to her excellent organizational skills and calm demeanor. I had debated hiring a wedding coordinator, and now I can't imagine how I could have done it without her. I was an editor at a wedding magazine for a few years, but nothing fully prepares you for the amount of planning that goes in. From our first phone call to discuss my Saratoga Springs wedding for 120 guests that we were putting together in just six months, I knew we were in great hands. We were the first wedding being held at our venue, and were planning on an outdoor ceremony, tented dinner reception, followed by dancing with a band in the barn. It was a exactly what I was hoping for, but I knew it meant a ton of moving parts and set-up to be done in a short time. Shannon laid out a detailed itinerary in her online planning program that we could easily access, and it had literally every part of the day listed with a time and details. She contacted all of our vendors and made sure they were up to speed and prepared. There was a threat of rain the week before (which I was a wreck over), and she logically talked us through our options, ensuring that we had a solid plan for the rehearsal dinner and ceremony. The day-of, she kept us right on schedule and managed every detail, right down to bringing the gifts into the house and making sure I had my espadrilles to change into. Our families and wedding party kept commenting how awesome she was, and how the day went so perfectly. My husband and I truly enjoyed every moment of our wedding, and were able to be present to take it all in. We cannot thank Shannon enough for this!!

Choosing Wedding Planning Plus to help us plan our wedding was one of the best decisions we made during the wedding process. I had the pleasure of working with Shannon and Alex and it was truly a dream. From the very first day, I felt more at ease. Shannon has an incredible ability to connect with her brides and grooms – she just gets it! I was so impressed by how well she understood us, helped us craft our vision, and turned that into a reality. A few highlights from our experience:1) Shannon will take the time to talk to you through the options of any scenario calmly, patiently and informatively. Being a COVID bride, we hit some rough patches which included us needing to change our reception venue less than two months before the wedding. Shannon helped us weigh the pros and cons at length until we were comfortable with our decision. She took the lead on researching other venues quickly and made all necessary adjustments with our vendors.2) Speaking of vendors - Shannon has a vast circle of killer vendor recommendations. People are still talking about our vendors and many have mentioned they were some of the best they had ever experienced at a wedding. And when working with each vendor you can tell how much they respect and are excited to work with Shannon again. If you don’t believe me, take it from the multiple vendors that told us Shannon is the best wedding planner they have ever worked with!3) The wedding weekend was absolutely flawless. I felt so confident knowing Shannon and Alex were there thinking through every detail. I was really able to sit back, relax, and just enjoy the day. And that’s a lot coming from my husband and I – we are both very detail oriented and are perfectionist with party planning, so this is very hard for us to do at times!Do yourself a favor and hire Wedding Planning Plus! You will not be disappointed and your wedding experience (and that of your guests) will be better because of it!!

Choosing Wedding Planning Plus to coordinate our July 2021 wedding at Blenheim Hill Farm was HANDS DOWN the best decision we made in the entire wedding process. Alex and Shannon were godsends. They communicated and coordinated with all of the vendors so that everything flowed seamlessly! They also really made sure to listen to our feedback so that we were really happy with the flow of the day, no matter how many emails we sent! Though we quickly realized the best approach was to just let them handle it! On the day of our wedding, Alex and Shannon had everything planned perfectly such that we had no worries about where we were supposed to be or what we were supposed to be doing! We and our families were just able to completely enjoy the day knowing that they were taking care of everything! They were even able to coordinate with my parents for some surprises and find an amazing last minute replacement vendor. Like I said, above and beyond!! The day was absolutely the best day of our lives and would not have been so if we hadn’t made the decision to hire Wedding Planning Plus. Long story short – HIRE SHANNON AND HER TEAM!! You will not regret it!
