Shelby Your Day Events

     

Our month-of coordinator Shelby was incredibly well-organized and handled our vendors with ease—even securing some last-minute ones when needed. She introduced us to Roger from Desert Disco, which was a fantastic connection, and helped us fine-tune our schedule to ensure everything flowed smoothly.

On wedding day, she adapted quickly, making necessary schedule adjustments to keep things on track. She executed everything efficiently, running around as needed to make sure no detail was overlooked. We only had one small hiccup with a golf cart at the venue, but overall, her support made a huge difference in our day!

We appreciated her direct, no-fluff approach—straight to the point and effective. In our planning meeting she asked insightful questions we hadn’t even considered, which helped us plan better. She also provided valuable guidance on tipping—who to tip, how much, and when—which was incredibly helpful. Beyond coordination, she was willing to assist with last-minute pickups and food runs, making the process even smoother. Everything was handled with transparency and professionalism.

Highly recommended!

     

Where do we even begin? Shelby with Shelby Your Day Events was truly the heart and soul of our wedding. From the very beginning, she brought patience, professionalism, and such a calming presence that made the entire planning process seamless and stress-free. As a type-A bride with a big vision, I know I had lofty ideas, but Shelby not only embraced them, she brought them to life in the most magical way. She handled every detail with grace and precision, making sure everything was absolutely perfect.

Even throughout her maternity journey, Shelby was unwavering in her commitment to us. We never felt like we were “just another wedding,” but rather that we were her top priority. She worked tirelessly behind the scenes, not only managing our vision but also orchestrating the coordination with all of our vendors, which alleviated so much stress and worry on our part. It was clear she was always thinking ahead, anticipating needs and ensuring everything went smoothly.

On our wedding day, Shelby handled the hundreds of little details with ease, allowing my husband and I to truly soak in every moment. The way she coordinated the day’s timeline and seamlessly handled any challenges that arose gave us the gift of a stress-free celebration. We were able to be fully present, enjoying our day without having to worry about a single thing.

Every element – from the grandest ideas to the smallest touches – was executed to perfection, all thanks to Shelby’s unwavering dedication, expertise, and love for what she does. She didn’t just create a wedding day; she gave us a flawless experience that we’ll cherish forever. We couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful planner or a better person to be by our side.

Shelby, you are not just a wedding planner; you were a true friend throughout the process, an incredible professional, and the magic behind making a wedding day perfect. Thank you for making our wedding feel so effortless, beautiful, and meaningful. We are forever grateful for everything you did to make our dream wedding come to life.

     

I knew from the start of our introductory conversation that Shelby was right for us. We had already selected our venue and date so I could answer those initial questions. When Shelby asked about aesthetic, design, or theme I paused. I laughed and said something like no drama or chaos, and a chill vibe - is that a design aesthetic? She heartily laughed then responded with a quip about human behavior, weddings, and, if necessary, the “mom voice”. In that moment I knew that I could be myself and our personalities worked well together; it would also complement my now husband’s personality as well. We could face the inevitable unknowns and chaos as a team.

Shelby proceeded to ask thoughtful questions to get to know us and understand our style. I was able to tell her more about what we didn’t like/want than what we did. Yet, she was able to suggest a vendor that wasn’t on my radar and perfect for us. By the end of our conversation, it was clear Shelby would introduce levity and humor to the experience (lots of it), expertly navigate our cast of characters (which she definitely did), and keep everything on track (and ahead of schedule when weather threatened).

We could not have anticipated how phenomenal Shelby would be the month leading up to our wedding. She far exceeded any expectation or thought we had about the experience. Before our month-out meeting, we shared our planning “binder” with Shelby.She reviewed it in advance of our meeting and arrived with excellent follow-up questions and suggestions. We included a fair number of DIY additions to the decor that came with some design ideas (from n00bs, to be clear), and Shelby was totally on board with making it work. It was important to us that the things we made be included, but she really pulled it all together in a way that worked. We were confident Shelby understood the “vision” and, if there were issues the day of, she would handle it with that vision in mind. We discussed all of the details, including the things we would need to figure out a few days before or the day of our wedding because of family health issues. Shelby was compassionate and supportive, and ready with plans A-Z for whatever happened. And, at the rehearsal, when there were several new ideas or suggestions for family needs, Shelby looked to me. I said that we’d proceed with the original plan and she moved us along to the next step. But, if needed, she was ready to step in and handle the moment. There were several moments throughout the rehearsal where I appreciated our visual check-in and unspoken alignment on how to handle the moment.

Shelby’s fantastic communication skills and calm approach really kicked in at this time, and she masterfully handled several challenges and concerns that arose with a vendor. One day a few weeks before the wedding when things started to go sideways with a vendor, my now husband commented “Shelby is already on it, as usual”. Shelby gifted us peace of mind and support when we really needed it.

Everything was exquisite the day of the wedding. When the curtains were pulled back in the ballroom, I was overcome with emotion. The room was enchanting, perfect. Shelby and her team attended to every detail and the execution exceeded anything we envisioned. We had a great time without a worry because Shelby was on it.

Shelby is as incredible a person as she is an event planner. Your day will be full of joy and happiness if you work with Shelby. We cannot recommend Shelby and Shelby Your Day Events enough.

     

Shelby did such a great job helping us plan our wedding and her day-of planning and organization allowed us to totally enjoy the day and not worry about every little detail. We were hesitant about getting a wedding planner, but Shelby offered the perfect blend of services that tailored to our exact needs. I really do not think I would have been able to fully be in the moment and enjoy every second of my wedding without Shelby's help!

     

I was on the fence about whether or not a wedding coordinator was worth it. If you are, too, hire Shelby!!! She was worth every penny. She and her assistant, Ann Erika were so professional, calm, and wonderful to work with. They made sure me and my bride were able to just show up and have a great time on our wedding day. Shelby really knows her stuff and she is so on top of every little detail. We owe her so much for making our wedding day so seamless and wonderful. THANK YOU!!
