  Truly amazing

  This was the best day of my life thanks to Shari and her staff! They were truly amazing and made my day and myself feel so special. I would highly recommend using them as your coordinators. I had Shari tie up all last minute things during the process and let me tell you she made it look so easy. She had so many amazing ideas and really helped my dream to come true!!!

  Megan, thank you for taking the time to write this review! When you called in July for a November 5th wedding I thought ok! Let's get this done! You made it possible by being focused on getting married and enjoying your family! Your wedding came together quickly and it was a beautiful union of two families! I am glad we could be a part of it! Have a great married life! -Shari

  Shari is a wedding planning lifesaver!

  We can’t say enough about how phenomenal Shari is! We initially decided to purchase a full-service wedding planning package because we live out of state and were looking for guidance planning our wedding at The Maples. From our first conversation, Shari was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also enthusiastic about bringing our unique vision to life.
  
  We had regular Zoom meetings throughout the months leading up to our wedding. Shari was always incredibly prepared and patient with us when we changed our minds on details. (We left every single call feeling more excited and somehow not stressed at all!) One thing we loved was that whenever we brought Shari ideas or inspo photos, she was able to translate those into tangible ideas/vendors and gather all of the pricing and logistical info for us to make a final decision. She made the daunting work of planning a big event feel EASY.
  
  Our wedding came together beautifully and was truly the best day of our lives. Because we had so much trust and respect for Shari, we didn’t worry about a single detail other than being in the moment and enjoying the day. In fact—we only found out later that our bakery forgot(!) to deliver our wedding cake. She handled that situation behind the scenes like an absolute pro and before we knew anything was amiss, the cake was in place.
  
  We recommend working with Events by Wise to all couples who are looking for a supportive, creative, and reliable wedding planner. Shari became a trusted friend to us throughout the planning process and we are so grateful for her!

  Amazing bar rental

  I had the most wonderful experience working with Events by Wise. I booked the horse trailer for the bar and had two other events staff working during our wedding at the Lone Wulff Ranch. We had the most AMAZING time! The bar was incredible and we loved our bartenders and the staff! They were all smiles, super helpful and were laughing with our guests and just having themselves a great time! Shari was also super helpful when I had questions about vendors recommendations and last minute details concerning the wedding. I HIGHLY recommend working with Events by Wise for your wedding or any other celebrations!

  Events By Wise is amazing!!

  Shari and her team are amazing! I have nothing but good things to say about Events By Wise! I reached out to Shari almost exactly a year before our wedding to see if she was available. One of the things that instantly drew me to Shari was her warm personality and her obvious love for weddings. I didn’t feel like just another client, but that I met with someone who genuinely wanted our wedding day to go as smoothly as possible.
  
  I hired her as our Month of Coordinator almost immediately after meeting with her. She provided us with all the tools necessary to set us up for wedding planning success and even reached out about COVID restrictions throughout the planning. She was extremely easy to get a hold of and got back to all of our questions quickly.
  
  Unfortunately, Shari wasn’t able to join us due to another wedding commitment (we missed celebrating with you!), but left us in the hands of Lindsey, who flawlessly executed all the plans that I had discussed with Shari. Lindsey was always on the move, making sure that things were going smoothly, and that we had everything we needed. Thank you to the whole Events By Wise team! We truly couldn’t have done it without you.

  Amazing Service!

  One of the best things we did for our wedding day was hire Shari from Events by Wise. Events by Wise had a variety of services to offer. I’m a pretty organized person so all I needed was someone I could trust to handle our big wedding guest list of 300. We hired Shari for Day of Coordination. I initially booked Shari a few months before my late summer wedding (September 2016). We meet with her numerous times before the wedding and were able to bounce ideas off each other. She understood perfectly what we needed from her and made everything happen. Four days before my wedding, tragedy struck my family and we lost my grandfather unexpectedly. It was a huge loss to my family and the wedding was immediately postponed. Because of this, Shari took on contacting all our vendors to postpone their services for us so we didn’t have to. This was a huge relief so I could focus on my family’s needs. When the grieving passed we contacted Shari about rescheduling her for an April 2017 Wedding. We were happy and grateful to hear that she was available for our new day. Our April wedding came and Shari, with her staff, did a phenomenal job! They were friendly, thoughtful, professional, and capable. She made our wedding day feel like the breeziest day of our lives. We might have been the biggest wedding she’s coordinated but it didn’t show, so for that, 5+ stars for the incredible attention to detail, ease and timeliness of communication, and genuine commitment to ensuring everything was taken care of behind the scenes. One of the advantages to booking her is that Shari has props and materials that she made available to us. We needed a backdrop for our sweetheart table and she offered her vintage doors and ladder. This was the perfect look I wanted. We can't emphasize enough how impressed we were with Shari, and how grateful we were to have found her. We would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone.

  Shari and her team went above and beyond to make our wedding a day to remember. She paid special attention to each and every detail whether they were small or big. From helping find our vendors, designing our flower arrangements and coming up with a time schedule for the wedding day itself her team truly was a blessing. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend Events by Wise to anyone planning a wedding or special event. Shari and her amazing team will not disappoint!

  Not as promised

  We hired Shari as our month of coordinator for our May wedding. In the beginning, she seemed great. She met us for a venue walk through and promised to make our event outstanding. We had our month of meeting with her once we paid in full. We talked about all the details and laid out what our day would look like. Shari promised us a beautiful dessert display and made us believe she would exclusively be coordinating our wedding. Three days before our wedding, she informed us that two of her employees would be taking over. They had never been at any of the meetings and Shari wasn't even able to provide me with their information. I was unable to contact them until the day of the rehearsal.
  This was a new venue for both coordinators. They seemed lost, disorganized, and had to keep referring to the notes provided for them. The owners of the venue said they would not use the walkie talkies provided. This caused me to be a half hour late due to miscommunication.
  Luckily, I decorated most of the venue myself. The guestbook table was thrown together, and the dessert table was nothing as promised. The flower girl basket my daughter was supposed to walk down the aisle with (and had sentimental value) was never provided by the coordinators.
  We had numerous complaints from vendors, especially about the timeline not being followed. We were rushed through the cake cutting because the coordinators failed to start the speeches on time.
  They did a great job cleaning up and did the best they could with the limited time they had to prepare. If Shari were to include her employees in the lead up meetings, it would help events run a lot smoother.

  This review is shocking and very disappointing. Their wedding was handled with as much time and attention (if not more) as all of our weddings. I never promise any particular team member to any couple because we never know what life is going to deal us. The lead planner did in fact join us on the venue walk-through and was introduced to the bride, mother & sister of the bride. In fact, this was the first time our company had worked at this venue and the bride was aware of this prior to booking. Which, this really doesn't matter because we work at new venues all the time without any problem! In speaking with my team after the wedding they told me that they found the venue issued walkies a benefit since the venue is so spread out and it made it so easy to communicate with the venue team! I also received responses from other vendors regarding how smoothly and efficiently our team executed their wedding. Here is a quote from another vendor, "Wanted to let you know how impressed I was with your company and how well Erin and Shae did throughout the ceremony and reception. I don't always have planners that are so on it. Pleasure working with such a great team! First Class!! Regarding the dessert display...I actually have some very beautiful photos of the dessert display and it showcased the amazing desserts! The only delay I was aware of for this event was the rehearsal. My team arrived on time and instead of a 1 hr rehearsal it ended up being 2 hrs, because the bride was almost 1 hr late to the rehearsal! A good planner/coordinator always has their notes with during a wedding to make sure they are following every detail perfectly! I am very glad to hear that my team had their notes with them at all times!! When I am working a wedding I am never without my clipboard/notes! My team was highly prepared for this wedding even though the bride was still making changes up to the morning of the wedding! I always recommend that final details are set 2 weeks prior to your wedding, not the morning of! The only details that we hope to change the day of are based on unforeseen occurrences not a bride changing her mind! I stand behind my team and at the end of the day I know that we did a great job!
