Wedding Works of Art
As someone that has worked in the Greenville wedding industry for quite some time now I found it very easy when it came time to begin planning my wedding. I had the pleasure of working, professionally, with Shelley on other weddings in the past, and knew her eye for design was exactly what I wanted/needed to help bring my wedding day vision to life. Her attention to detail is impeccable and she is truly one of the best in the business. Shelley took all of my little notes, thoughts and ideas and turned them into a true work of art. The best part of working with Shelley is no two weddings will ever be the same for her. It is truly a custom design specific to your wants and needs and a real masterpiece.As someone that has worked in the Greenville wedding industry for quite some time now I found it very easy when it came time to begin planning my wedding.

Best in the business!!
As a full time manager at one of our two wedding venues in Asheville, NC , Shelley made the planning process insanely easy. Shelley planned well in advance, always came prepared and had answers to questions before I asked them ! She made the communication between the client and us very transparent and would recommend Shelley to any and all clients! As a manager of a wedding venue we work with numerous wedding planners from all over and Shelley has surpassed any and all expectations and standards previous wedding planners have set over the past years.As a full time manager at one of our two wedding venues in Asheville, NC , Shelley made the planning process insanely easy.

Hi, Kathy and Team!
Thank you so much! I truly enjoyed working alongside The Ridge Staff for Kaitlin & Joe's amazingly beautiful Fall wedding. Your property options to host ceremony and reception are top notch! You have tailored your craft on offering a luxury service with the best options to customize throughout the day. I was very impressed from the planning stages to day-of and how helpful your staff is on making everyone's day the best! I cannot wait to be back! -

Professional and detailed
As the Food & Beverage Director at Keowee Falls, it was a pleasure working with Shelley to create a memorable Rehearsal Dinner. Shelley is very professional and detailed. Her attention to detail and detailed timeline were what made it a success. She helped setup my team to run a successful event for the couple. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to make their special day even that more special!As the Food & Beverage Director at Keowee Falls, it was a pleasure working with Shelley to create a memorable Rehearsal Dinner.

Highly Recommend
Hiring Shelley to design and plan our wedding was easily the best decision we made. During the planning process, she promptly handled communication with vendors and kept everything moving smoothly. While listening to our vision for the day, she designed a beautiful event that left all of our guests awed. I was so impressed by her attention to detail in design which resulted in adding so many elements to our wedding that I simply couldn’t have imagined. We were looking to plan our wedding in only 60 days after rescheduling due to COVID, and Shelley helped us to find the best vendors and get everything planned in that short time span. Even when a Tropical Storm threatened our plans, she came up with a rain plan that I still felt would be beautiful and special. Most miraculously of all, when our venue lost power the day of the wedding, Shelley kept her cool and got generators onsite and a new caterer all in a matter of hours. I could have been freaking out that we didn’t even have power, but knowing that Shelley was on it put me at ease while getting ready so that al I had to do was get pampered and enjoy the day. Overall, Shelley is great at what she does and I really can’t recommend working with her enough! As a bride who showed up to her wedding venue with no power during a Tropical Storm, trust me that you want to have the reassurance of knowing that your event is in Shelley’s capable hands.Hiring Shelley to design and plan our wedding was easily the best decision we made.

So happy we connected Rebecca and I was available to be there for you and Daniel! This wedding will stay with me as a favorite from planning to design to day-of. You were so great to work with in the 60 days leading up- your organization and personal vision made it so easy and fun for me to plan and design out. Truly a day for the books but in so many memorable ways. Cant have great memories without a few laughs. You and your entire group of friends and family were seriously the best and most gracious of people. I would plan a wedding with no electricity with you any day! All the best to you both - keep posting those photos - you were a stunning bride! -

Full Service Planner
Shelley,
I can't thank you enough for planning our special day. Your attention to detail, professionalism, and patience are unmatched. With me living out of state, it was necessary for me to have a full-service planner. The wedding went off without a hitch, even amidst COVID. You took my vision, ran with it, and executed it even better than I had hoped for. Thank you so much for your services.
Future brides: Choose Shelley--you will not be disappointed!Shelley,

I cannot start this reply without first saying how you have been the sweetest bride to work with. From the beginning, you were onboard to bring me on to assist you with the prettiest vision. We were a great team in making design happen. Thank you for your trust and I truly appreciate choosing me to come in and make some fun and pretty things happen for you and Kevin. You deserve it as there were months of waiting out the pandemic and going through changes in guest list and logistics. You were a trooper! The day was so lovely because you and Kevin went in with the best spirit. Such a fun day! Give me a call any time you come back to Greenville! -

Shelley was the perfect choice for a wedding designer!
We hired Shelley as a wedding designer and had the wedding of our dreams! Shelley was able to take an idea and turn it into exactly what we wanted. She helped with our indecisiveness and gave great professional advice. Shelley took away so much stress and made the planning process a little more fun.

10/10 Would Recommend
Shelley is a freaking all-star coordinator. We only hired her for month-of services, but if we could go back and do it over we would hire her full-time. Though we were only month-of clients, she took the time to answer every email we sent (and the emails began much sooner than one month out!) and every question we asked. When vendors heard who our coordinator was their faces lit up, and that spoke volumes about who we decided to work with. Her attention to detail is unmatched and she made us feel confident and comfortable with all our decisions. Hire this woman! You won't regret it.Shelley is a freaking all-star coordinator.

Hiring Shelley was the best decision we made in planning our wedding!!! Shelley was absolutely amazing with her suggestions, guidance, opinions, and offered up so much assistance. I was not nervous one bit about how everything would pan out on the day of, because I was so confident in Shelley.
She has an amazing eye for design + layout. I put my full trust in her to design the set up for our ceremony + reception, and everyone loved it! The flow of the entire day went over so well! Shelley was such a calm enforcement throughout the day that made everything fall into place.
My father, who was very skeptical about hiring a coordinator, was in absolute awe and beyond thankful for Shelley's efforts in making the day perfect and so easy for all of us! He even agreed hiring Shelley was the best money we spent!!!
If I would do anything differently in the planning process it would be to hire 10 Shelleys - one for each vendor.

We hired Shelley for full service and design and we couldn’t have been happier! I was definitely not a bride with a ‘vision’, but through many drafts and a lot of patience, Shelley helped us create a wedding that was classy, modern and romantic, just what we wanted. She was incredibly responsive and her knowledge of Greenville vendors was especially clutch since my husband and I were both from out of town. She went above and beyond consistently during the planning process including visiting sites for us and taking deliveries. I would definitely recommend her full service since then I knew we were on the same page throughout the planning process and knew I could always reach out to her. However, the best part was knowing that on the wedding day, my family and I didn’t have to worry about anything and could just enjoy our special day together! It goes by so fast already, and I knew that I could focus on my husband, family and friends instead of putting out fires because someone else was on the ball. Can’t recommend Shelley enough, especially if you are a bride who values professionalism, experience, and responsiveness to help you through the stressful wedding planning process!We hired Shelley for full service and design and we couldn’t have been happier!

When I started planning my wedding, my mom and I knew that we would need guidance regarding vendors, the process, vendor management and the small details that make a wedding stand out. Especially as we got closer to the wedding day and to eliminate the need of frequent trips down to Greenville from my mom (who lives 500 miles away) we wanted someone who understood our vision of traditional with a modern twist for the evening in the venue we had booked prior to hiring Shelley. We reached out to discuss where we were in our planning and after the phone call, it was clear that we needed the partial planning package to provide us the peace of mind that our wedding would look great, reflect my personal style, as well as run smoothly. Shelley’s services not only kept our stress levels in check but she was able to ensure that I had the wedding I had always envisioned. We had so many questions and unanswered logistical concerns that Shelley was able to address immediately with so many new ideas! She is not only solutions oriented but has a creative flair that is always adding to the conversations. We admired her calm demeanor, her organization, and simple approach to what seemed to be very complicated issues for us to tackle. Every email or conversation was clear on what we needed to think about next and ways to achieve everything we wanted. On the day of the wedding Shelley was truly our commander in chief and biggest advocate. Everything had its place, flowed well and we were able to enjoy the entire night because Shelley had executed everything from vendors to personal touches during cocktail hour so perfectly. We cannot say enough high praises of how smooth our wedding day went! We would recommend Shelley to anyone and everyone in need to of a wedding planner that is organized, has a variety of inspirations and options for every detail of your reception, and is your biggest cheerleader in every decision you make. Thank you for making our day so special and memorable!When I started planning my wedding, my mom and I knew that we would need guidance regarding vendors, the process, vendor management and the small details that make a wedding stand out.

She is not only solutions oriented but has a creative flair that is always adding to the conversations. We admired her calm demeanor, her organization, and simple approach to what seemed to be very complicated issues for us to tackle. Every email or conversation was clear on what we needed to think about next and ways to achieve everything we wanted. On the day of the wedding Shelley was truly our commander in chief and biggest advocate. Everything had its place, flowed well and we were able to enjoy the entire night because Shelley had executed everything from vendors to personal touches during cocktail hour so perfectly. We cannot say enough high praises of how smooth our wedding day went! We would recommend Shelley to anyone and everyone in need to of a wedding planner that is organized, has a variety of inspirations and options for every detail of your reception, and is your biggest cheerleader in every decision you make. Thank you for making our day so special and memorable!-

If you are searching for a rockstar wedding planner who you could also become great friends with look no further. Shelley is THE. BEST. My {new!!} husband and I are busy engineers living in Atlanta and we knew we wouldn't be able to do everything on our own. Well, I thought I could until I started looking at all of the details involved in planning a wedding from scratch. Boy can things get overwhelming, especially for someone like me who wasn’t entirely sure what I wanted our wedding to look like at first. Along with being a detail-oriented expert, she is also full of great, unique ideas and was able to make our day feel like it truly was OUR DAY. Day of our wedding, Shelley made sure I had almost no responsibilities, and I was able to truly enjoy our entire wedding day from start to finish. The #1 thing I am most grateful to Shelley for is what turned out to be the most special moment of our day – our first look. At first, I didn’t think I wanted to do a first look, but wasn’t really sure why. As Shelley got to know us, somehow she could just tell that Josh and I could use a moment alone before our wedding ceremony for just the two of us. I will be forever grateful to Shelley for laying out the pros and cons of doing a first look (there are really not many cons on that list!) and it was an easy decision to go for it! It is my clearest, most emotional, and meaningful memory from our wedding day. Shelley had a knack for making us so confident in any and all of our “non traditional” wedding moments, and because of Shelley, everything came together beautifully on our best day ever.If you are searching for a rockstar wedding planner who you could also become great friends with look no further.

Hiring Shelley was the best money spent on our wedding. I can honestly say that I don't know how we would have done it without her. She helped take things off our plates when we bit off more than we could chew and more importantly, worked with all of our vendors, especially those who were less professional and less responsive. My wife and I are pretty sure we would have lost our sanity if it weren't for Shelley.
She also has a great eye and took the time to understand our vision and and help put it all together aesthetically. I also want to note her flexibility in working with us when we had a change in heart about specific things like the ceremony setup or the seating arrangements. Because of the wether, we were even have to make changes at the last minute, but she kept the communication open, kept her cool and listened to what we wanted.
Shelley was always professional, courteous and detail oriented. She was a real pleasure to work with.
I have two pieces of advice:
1. Hire a professional wedding coordinator

Our wedding day certainly would not have happened without Shelley! I am in my first year of medical residency and we got married in Spartanburg, which is over 6 hours from where we currently live. So I knew from the beginning I would need a planner. We did full service planning with Shelley and it was certainly the best decision we made! Shelley guided us through every decision and made sure we stayed on track throughout the planning process. She took care of so many of the details that I didn't have the time to take care of and never would have thought about. On our wedding day, I was so floored to see just how beautiful she had made our venue off of just the few inspiration photos I had given her. She took all my ideas and brought them to life in the most gorgeous way! The day went seamlessly and we and our families got to completely enjoy the day without stressing about anything, as Shelley had it all under control! I truly cannot say enough good things about our experience! We are SO grateful to her for making our day such a dream!Our wedding day certainly would not have happened without Shelley!

I seriously could not have done this without Shelley! She was so helpful and made sure every detail was taken care of. She made sure all the vendors were on the same page and made sure everything went as planned. My jaw dropped when she sent me her detailed spreadsheet of all of our info! I couldn't believe how thorough she was! So grateful for her help, I surely would have forgotten a few things had I tried to do this on my own! She undoubtedly helped ease all the stress that comes with wedding planning!! Thank you Shelley!!I seriously could not have done this without Shelley!
