Molly D. Sent on 06/10/2024Seamless Wedding Planning with Shannon at SES Events
It is with immense pleasure and heartfelt gratitude that I write this glowing recommendation for Shannon at SES Events. From the moment we began planning our wedding, Shannon's exceptional expertise, dedication, and warmth shone through, transforming our special day into a truly magical and unforgettable experience. Brides working with Shannon will be the best decision you ever make!
Shannon’s meticulous attention to detail and creative vision ensured that every aspect of our wedding was nothing short of perfection. From the stunning floral arrangements to seamless coordination, she exceeded our expectations in every way. Shannon took the time to understand our unique style and preferences, infusing her professional insight to craft a celebration that was beautifully tailored to us.
One of the most remarkable qualities Shannon possesses is her ability to make the entire planning process stress-free and enjoyable. Her organizational skills and calm demeanor reassured us every step of the way, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the joy of the occasion without a single worry. She handled every challenge with grace and efficiency, ensuring that everything ran smoothly on the big day. This allowed us to fully enjoy the day because we could completely trust Shannon had it covered (and she did!!) This had a noticeable impact as countless family and friends congratulated me on being a "chill" bride again full credit to Shannon.
Beyond her exceptional skills as a wedding planner, Shannon is a genuinely wonderful person. Her friendly and approachable nature made working with her an absolute delight. She took the time to build a personal connection with us, and we are so grateful to now consider her a friend. Shannon’s warmth and positivity radiate in everything she does, making her an invaluable presence in the wedding planning process.
Thanks to Shannon and SES Events, our wedding day was a dream come true, filled with love, laughter, and so much FUN! We cannot recommend Shannon highly enough to anyone seeking a wedding planner who will go above and beyond to create a beautiful, perfect, and stress-free celebration. Thank you, Shannon, for making our wedding day everything we envisioned and more!SES Events, LLC's reply:
Thank you SO much Molly!! Your wedding was absolutely beautiful and the love you + Steve share was visible throughout the celebrations. Looking forward to following your journey as husband + wife, and keeping in touch - beyond grateful for you both XO -

Shannon and her team are quite literally the BEST. She made my wedding day run smoothly, triaging problems that I didn't even know existed, and allowing me to enjoy my special day worry-free.
Even though we hired Shannon for day-of coordination, she made herself available to answer questions and support us months out. Over six months out from the wedding, she jumped in to help resolve issues with our hotel, and provided useful recommendations and tips that weren't even on our radar. Definitely above and beyond the call of duty! As we got closer to the wedding, she plugged in completely, and knew all of the details better than we knew them ourselves. Her helpful emails and check-ins ensured we stayed organized and on track in the final crunch weeks.
The real magic happened on the week and day of the wedding. We had a number of last minute guest changes, some that I wasn't even aware of until I was walking down the aisle! She took care of everything - Reorganizing seating and working with the caterer, so that everything was fixed before I even knew there was an issue. Throughout the night, she made sure our vendors were where they needed to be, things were running on time, and logistics were in play, allowing us to kick back, talk to our guests, and dance the night away. She also handled all of the set up and break down - Something that I surely would not have wanted to do, or had time to do!
We thought the prices were completely reasonable, and in reflecting on the wedding, have said that SES Events is the best money we spent all wedding. I would recommend Shannon and her team in a heartbeat. -

Shannon is the best!
RUN don't walk to hire Shannon for your wedding day. We had the absolute pleasure of working with Shannon for our wedding on 9/9/2023. We hired Shannon for her Day of Coordinator package; however, she was so much more than a day-of- coordinator. From the minute we hired Shannon (about a year before our wedding) she made herself available to answer any of our questions. About three months before our big day, she was all ours :). We had several calls, a site visit, and many text messages leading up to the big day. Shannon handled everything from communication between my vendors (huge help having her take this off my plate, no bride wants to answer a million questions before their wedding day), managing our rehearsal, keeping my thoughts positive while the forecast showed nothing but rain for the day of, assistance with day-of set-up, day-of questions/headaches, ensuring everything ran on schedule, and most importantly, she was there to make sure my husband and I had the most amazing day. Plus, so much more! Shannon was such a delight to work with, we can't recommend her enough. I promise, this could be the best investment you make for your big day! -

Julia R. Sent on 08/28/2023Fabulous and flexible wedding planner!
Shannon is a lifesaver and a delight. I HIGHLY recommend her as a wedding planner, and as a lovely person! We had a lot of moving parts to our wedding celebration, as we had an intimate family ceremony in Dec. and then a 200+ person reception in July. Shannon was infinitely patient with us as we kept changing our ideas about when our reception would be, and also incredibly helpful in narrowing and directing our ideas about reception venue--she totally nailed our style. One of my favorite parts of working with Shannon is that she only tells you about a problem once she's found a solution--and she can change plans on a dime without (seemingly) breaking a sweat (for example--she found us a new welcome party venue a month out from the event). She also has a fabulous way of representing you to your vendors, and making sure everyone has all the information and details they need! Definitely work with Shannon! -

I wish there were more than 5 stars to give
I would recommend Shannon in any capacity to plan any event you may be hosting.
I really don't know how to begin to put into words what a godsend Shannon is. From the very minute we met, she had such a strong sense of calm, humor, and care. I knew we would be in great hands working together, but I really can't express how perfect our day was- all because of Shannon.
We selected Shannon's full planning package. She anticipated each and every step in our wedding planning process. She approached every person and situation with professionalism, from initial vendor quotes, to set up and breakdown the night of. Shannon kept us organized and on time, from budget tracking to timelines and checklists. Her time management and organization is bar none- and she makes it look second nature! She offered design suggestions and helped with our layout, but made sure we had input every step of the way to make our wedding day a true reflection of us.
She made sure we were able to be fully present and enjoy our day with family and friends, which was such a priceless gift. I am so happy planning our wedding brought Shannon to us- I will forever be thankful for her and think of her as a special, lifelong friend! -

I have no words for how amazing Shannon is!!
We truly have no words to express our full gratitude to Shannon for her assistance with our wedding planning. I'll start with a bit of context because I found it helpful when reading other reviews and selecting vendors for our wedding - I am a (somewhat neurotic), hyper-type-A personality with high expectations and attention to detail. We brought Shannon on as a month-of planner when we began running into issues with our venue as it was a new venue and they were still in the process of figuring many things out. Shannon was nothing short of a miracle. Relatively quickly after meeting Shannon, we upgraded our package to rely more on Shannon's expertise with a more hands-on planning package and, boy, are we glad we did! Shannon is meticulous, super responsive, kind, and honest. She advocated for us and was our biggest supporter in the planning process. She coordinated all of our vendors, worked with us to create an amazing timeline and STUCK TO IT! Bonus, she somehow manifested 70 degree sunshine in mid-November in New England. Shannon truly was the best thing to happen to us during our wedding. Do not think twice about hiring her!! -

Cassidy S. Sent on 06/27/2021The MVP, the GOAT -- SES Events is simply the BEST!!!
I wish I could shout from the rooftops just how incredible Shannon St. Ours of SES Events is and how she truly made the wedding of our dreams possible, but posting online will have to do. I had worked with Shannon previously to plan my sister's baby shower and she contacted me shortly after we got engaged to see if we'd be interested in working together for our wedding. This was still in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, so not only were we not sure if a wedding would be possible any time soon, we weren't sure if we'd be able to work with Shannon as we'd already decided to get married in New Hampshire where we live to help limit our travel. The two-state distance was not a hurdle as far as Shannon was concerned, and after she presented us with an incredibly detailed proposal and very reasonable quote, we decided to hire her as our wedding planner.
My husband and I easily agree that hiring SES Events was the best thing we did in planning our June 2021 wedding. We both work full-time and my mom has passed away, and when you throw a global pandemic into that already less-than-ideal scenario, planning a wedding seemed impossible. Shannon made herself totally accessible from Day One and set right to work familiarizing herself with the area where we were getting married (Concord, NH, about two hours from her home base in Warwick, RI), finding the best vendors in our area and reaching out to them on our behalf, and taking our half-baked ideas and inspirations and making them into a beautiful, cohesive, attainable wedding plan. Most of all, she was able to stay within our budget, coming up with creative fixes along the way to cut costs without sacrificing our vision. I had my heart set on having an open bar for our guests, even though this can be a costly variable, and I'll be damned if the final bar tab wasn't almost exactly on the nose of what Shannon projected and it fit into our budget just right. She is a magician and a genius. I don't know how she does it all, but she makes it look easy! She even talked me down off the ledge in a few bride crises along the way. ;)
The end result of working with Shannon was a beautiful wedding, a rockin' good party people are still talking about two weeks later, memories we and our loved ones will cherish forever, and a treasured friendship we now have with Shannon. We would recommend her to absolutely anyone planning an event in the New England area. Big or small, regardless of your budget, SES Events will help you create an event unlike any other.
All the best,
Cassidy & Eric Smith -
