About Me

Hi I'm Shanna! I'm a 30 year old Buffalo native, full-time Medical Speech Pathologist and Mom.  I also have 2 fur babies and love reading, starting puzzles (that I rarely finish), lounging at home or adding to my travel bucket list!

​

In 2022, I got married to my amazing husband Shane. We just celebrated 10 years together and I can honestly say I found my better half in this world. I planned my entire wedding solo and lost many nights of sleep due to the stress and anxiety it caused. After helping my sister with her wedding in 2023, I realized that I truly enjoyed wedding coordinating and planning. I loved that it allowed me to help other couples eliminate stress on their wedding day. I believe that no couple should have to worry about the little things on one of the most important days of their life. 

​

Working in the medical field for the past six years, I was craving a creative outlet that was FUN and rewarding too. I'm truly just a type-A girly who lives for organization, design, spreadsheets, Pinterest boards and inspiration from trendy styles! 

​

Though my passion began as a wedding planner and coordinator, I have evolved to also include special events services as well. Whatever your needs, I will do my best to accommodate them.

The Small Details

As a former bride, I can relate to you, offer advice or be the person you vent to. 

My one and only goal is to help couples enjoy their day and be a guest at their own event. Whether you are planning a small and cozy elopement, a lavish party or anything in between, I'm here to help!

 

I can offer assistance with wedding/special event planning, design, day-of logistics, setup and clean up.
