    A Lifelong Dream Come True

    Shawn is Absolutely Amazing! We have used her twice now for both of our daughter's weddings. Most recently was on Sept 28th of this year. I can honestly say that both of my girls weddings were more beautiful than I could have ever imagined and a day that will forever be etched in our minds. Shawn was very helpful to us leading up to their wedding day, she kept us on schedule, she was always available to answer questions and she made sure that all of our vendors were in place. She took so much stress off of me the day of the wedding knowing that she was working behind the scenes to make sure all the little details came together. This allowed us to enjoy the day and take in every moment that we could with our daughter and family/friends. I completely trust Shawn and her staff and would not hesitate to recommend them. She is honest and assertive and she will make sure your day unfolds exactly how you have always dreamed it would.

    A day we will always cherish

    We couldn’t have had a better experience with Shawn and her team. She was attentive to our requests during the planning process, gave great guidance when we struggled with decisions, and was flexible in the days leading up to and day of the wedding. When we made some last minute changes to the reception, she adapted graciously and executed exactly what we requested. She also did a great job of handling small but important details with the reception floor plan, the ceremony timeline, and wedding party preparation before the ceremony. Most importantly, she cared for us so well and was kind to family members and guests. We would absolutely recommend Shawn Schindler Events to anyone who wants a wedding day to remember and cherish!

    My saving grace

    My wedding was planned over a few years while I juggled graduate school and my fiancé and I traveling/being long distance from each other and our planners. Shawn Schindler Events, our planner Brooke, and all those involved were highly flexible and kept everything extremely organized and the way Austin and I wanted for the big day. I am so grateful for their service and help for our day.

    Shawn Schindler Events's reply:

    Thank you so much Jessica! Brooke and Sarah enjoyed being a part of your special day! We wish you and Austin a life of love and happiness!

    Best Wedding Planner

    I was lucky enough to meet Shawn and Jaycee at a wedding show, and I knew as soon as I talked with them, what a perfect fit they would be for helping plan our wedding. Jaycee made all of our wedding visions come true, and was extremely valuable when helping us plan during corona. This team is worth their weight in gold! They are truly the best wedding planners and they help with event design as well.

    Shawn Schindler Events's reply:

    Olivia, Thank you so much for the kind words! Jaycee is awesome and we ar so blessed to have her on the SSE team!

    Total Perfection

    We had the pleasure of working with Shawn from the very beginning of the planning process of our wedding which was inevitably impacted by the Coronavirus. Shawn is amazing, she kept us informed and calm throughout the entire process, including rescheduling the wedding. She was an absolute lifesaver, and truly went above and beyond. It was such a joy to work with her and Brooke. We will always be grateful to them. Our wedding was so special and we received numerous compliments of how beautiful it all was. I highly recommend Shawn Schindler Events!

    Shawn Schindler Events's reply:

    Thank you sweet Alexis! We loved every minute of working with you and Cole and can not wait until January to celebrate!

    The best ever

    Absolute best experience ever. Her and her staff made sure the day was everything we ever wanted. Shawn went out of her way to make sure it was the way asked for it to be. Her assistant Alex ran back up for me right before the ceremony to get my veil that we had forgotten. HIGHLY RECOMMEND USING HER! So pleased with how everything turned out and we couldn’t thank you enough 💕

    Shawn Schindler Events's reply:

    Thank you so much Savannah and Peanut! We loved every minute working with you and your wedding weekend!

    Taylor Williams

    I can’t say enough about Taylor Williams and Shawn Schindler Events! Taylor was so professional and competent. She ran this huge affair with grace and ease, made sure that all the hosts wishes were meticulously followed and created an environment where the hosts were completely free to enjoy their party. Bravo Taylor!

    Great experience working with Shawn Schindler Events!

    Best money we spent on our daughter's wedding was hiring Shawn Schindler Events! I am very detail-oriented and like to be in control. Alex Watkins assured me she had it! AND SHE DID! Everything was exactly like we wanted and the schedule ran like a well-oiled machine. She and her assistant Swell were AMAZING and an absolute JOY to work with! One of the highlights of the services SSE offers...they pack up everything for you and load it into your car! Thank you both for being such an important part of Erica Nunn Eveld and Tommy Evelds day!

    Shawn and her team were THE BEST! Not only did she handle one bride, but TWO brides with our wedding and she did so with a professionalism that was simply unmatched. With our busy schedules, we probably weren't the easiest clients, but Shawn made everything so smooth and understood our vision helping us to execute it flawlessly. On the day of, we found ourselves thanking our lucky stars for Shawn and her team. We would recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing planner!

    Making the decision to work with Shawn Schindler Events was one of the best decisions we made during the process of planning our wedding! Alex Watkins was a huge blessing for us!! From the moment we had our first meeting I knew this was going to be easy with Alex! She answered all questions we had along the way! As we got closer she made all the stress and worry go away. Alex made everything run sooo smooth the day of and made sure every detail was taken care of! Alex is the absolute best!! Shawn Schindler Events is a must!

    I had the pleasure of working with Shawn from SSE as our day of coordinator for our wedding and I am so thankful I did!!! The moment she became our day of coordinator, I was able to ask her questions and recommendations and she responded immediately and all of the recommendations she gave were also awesome! As we got closer, she was sure to reach out and see if there was anything I needed and reassuring me everything was being handled. Between her communicating with all the vendors to make sure everything was taken care of and then her telling us all exactly what needed to be done at the rehearsal, I felt absolutely no stress going into the day of the wedding. I knew Shawn had everything taken care of and if anything came up, she would handle it, definitely a good feeling to start your wedding day stress free!! ! I would recommend Shawn and SSE to everyone!

    Words cannot convey how thankful I am for Shawn and her team, and the amazing experience they gave me and my husband on our wedding day. Shawn was with us every step of the way in our wedding planning journey from touring venues, meetings over coffee, and seeing us off from the reception the night of our wedding. She managed and coordinated so many details, and put so much effort and thought into all of them. She has so many great relationships with so many great professionals in her industry - and I am so happy to have worked with them all. I will forever remember spending my wedding day with my husband, family and friends, knowing that I could trust Shawn and her team infinitely.

    I can't say enough good things about our wedding planner/coordinator, Alex, from Shawn Schindler events! She was truly a professional from day one and worked closely with us and all of our vendors to ensure the entire wedding day ran smoothly and that we had the best day of our lives. She was extremely detail-oriented, thoughtful, and organized throughout the wedding planning process. She eliminated stress in the final weeks leading up to the wedding and the day of our wedding. When issues arose, she handled them quietly and swiftly so we didn't have to worry about a thing! I highly recommend this company. They do a fantastic job and you will be so thankful to have worked with them! Our wedding could not have turned out better thanks to Alex at Shawn Schindler!

    Shawn did an outstanding job for our wedding September 2017! As the bride, after meeting with her, I felt so much better about the wedding planning process. I was stressed and she did a great job of taking the stress off and planning from right then till the end. I didn’t have to worry about a thing and my wedding went so smoothly!! I had unique requests for my wedding that weren’t exactly the norm and Shawn took my ideas and ran with them to make the most unique, perfect ceremony I could ask for. She knows anything and everything about weddings and I would highly recommend you take advantage of her expertise! Thanks so much, Shawn!!

    Shawn Schindler was the name that we heard over and over as we spoke with vendors when we started planning my daughter's wedding last year. Each one said that she is the best in the business. She was the first planner that we called to meet and discuss her services. My daughter and I met Shawn and discussed our ideas. It was like meeting with an old friend and we knew that everything we had heard about Shawn was spot on and there was no need to look any further. Shawn was available and responsive throughout the planning process to give suggestions and guidance. A month out from the August wedding, we turned everything over to Shawn and she took over finalizing everything with the vendors and assuring that everything that we had spent months planning came to fruition. The day of the wedding was perfect. Shawn and her assistant took over and made sure that the day went as planned and that everything was coordinated perfectly. If you are looking for a wedding coordinator that is highly regarded in the wedding industry, professional, has a great attention to detail and strives to meet the needs of the bride then Shawn and her staff are the perfect choice for that special day.

    I highly recommend Shawn Schindler and SSE for any event you may have!! My daughter got married July 8, 2017, with the ceremony at our church and reception at JC Raulston Arboretum. Shawn and SSE made the day completely worry-free! She was at the rehearsal along with her staff and gave instructions to everyone how and when everything would happen. From the time we got to the church on Saturday to the end of the night, she and her staff took care of everything! I couldn't have asked for things to run smoother! You will not regret one minute hiring Shawn and SSE!! She is professional and so caring, she truly made my daughter's wedding a dream come true!!

    I was a guest for my best friend's daughters wedding on May 21st, 2017 and was able to watch how Shawn and her team created such a stress free weddIng day for Erica. They took care of all the little and big details, made sure everything was just perfect and set a tone for the entire day that allowed the bride and her family to enjoy the day without feeling rushed or stressed whatsoever. I would highly recommend Shawn Schindler Events to anyone who wants to enjoy their day and be assured that it will be everything they imagined and more!

    My daughter just got married on May 21, 2017, and we only had 6 months to plan the wedding. Hiring Shawn and SSE was the first and best decision we made during our planning process. Her vendor recommendations and expert knowledge of the Triangle and surrounding area saved us time and unnecessary stress. Shawn saw to every detail of the entire weekend from the rehearsal to the reception, and I was able to relax and enjoy each moment with my daughter, our family and friends. Thank you Shawn!

    I cannot say enough good things about working with Alex Watkins of SSE. She did a wonderful job on every aspect of our wedding. She's organized, attentive, full of great advice, and fun to work with. There was nothing too big or small- she did it all! Our wedding was PERFECT thanks to Alex. I would highly recommend SSE and Alex to anyone!

    I was the mother of the bride and very satisfied with Shawn. She took all the headache out of the wedding and took care of every little detail. You cannot go wrong hiring Shawn. My daughter's wedding was perfect and Shawn was responsible for that. No regrets hiring her.

    I cannot begin to express my gratitude for all of Alex's hard work. I was worried during our engagement that the wedding planning would start to get stressful the closer we got. That never happened with Alex's help. I never had to worry about set-up, making sure all of the knick-knacks were in place, making sure everyone was where they were supposed to be, nothing. Our wedding day was so smooth and easy, and that's entirely because Alex was there running the show. I could text, call, and email at any time of day with questions and concerns, and Alex would handle everything. Her level of detail and organization was more than I could have ever wanted for our wedding day. Shawn Schindler Events is worth every penny you will spend for a wedding planner!

    Alex was the coordinator we worked with from this company and she was a lifesaver! I bought the simplest package, because I figured most of the decisions leading up to the wedding were largely opinion-based, so my fiancé and I would do that part. However, Alex came with us to our CE Rental appointment and really helped us figure out our linens when we got stuck! Our venue also fell through 5 months before the wedding and Alex helped us find a new one, and went to tour venues with us and ask pertinent questions that I would've never thought of! She was great! She was always available by phone call, text, or email if I got hung up on anything and needed advice! And the weeks leading up to the wedding, I don't know what I would've done without her! She organized all the contracts and contacted every vendor to coordinate their times, created a time line for the wedding party on the day of, basically anything that needed to be done leading up to the wedding, she did it. It was SUCH a weight off my shoulders! She and her assistant came to the rehearsal to make sure everyone knew what they were doing, and on the day of they were running around like mad women to make sure everything was perfect! If anything went wrong, I have no idea, it flowed so smoothly thanks to her! Definitely would recommend this company and Alex to everyone! She works wonders! ?

    The Shawn Schindler Events team is simply amazing. After my first conversation with Shawn where she listened to my vision for our wedding day and described it as “simple elegance”, I knew she was the one for the job! Shawn helped connect me to the best vendors, gave me great advice on etiquette and décor and truly brought our dream wedding day to life. Throughout the planning process she was always professional, responsive and made sure we felt comfortable with each decision. We were able to enjoy every moment of our special day absolutely stress free because Shawn and her team were running the show. We will always be grateful to Shawn Schindler Events for creating our beautiful wedding day and for the memories we will cherish forever!

    Shawn coordinated our wedding the day of and I will say she is a must use! We are so greatfull to her and her team for making our wedding day a day we wish we could relive. She made sure everything flowed smoothly, to where we were able to relax & just enjoy our day. Your wedding day is a day you don't want to have to worry about, and without Shawn and her team I know there would've been last minute problems, I as a bride would not have wanted to deal with. Shawn made sure everyone knew what he or she was doing as apart of our wedding, she made sure the time line stayed on track, as well as flipped our space (from the ceremony to the reception) in the most organized and quickest way possible (which was our biggest worry going into the day). This team is the best, I strongly encourage anyone looking for a wedding planner to use them!
