Love Notes
If you’re getting married in the Okanagan area this is who you need for all your wedding planning!!! Shawna is so amazing at what she does, I was very laid back with the whole process but she nailed every single detail from the moment I walked down the aisle all the way until the end of the night. I had the biggest smile on my face the whole day and couldn’t get rid of it. Thank you so much Shawna for everything!

Shawna was awesome! She gave us the tools to put ourselves at ease throughout the process making sure we were on track. If I ever started feeling lost or unsure, she always answered her phone and put me at ease. All I can say is we did not have one thing go wrong and I truly believe Shawna had a lot to do with that!

When it comes to wedding coordinators, we could not recommend Shawna enough. She is utterly composed, has keen attention to detail, and manages to solve problems without us ever knowing they were there in the first place. If you’re looking for someone to help you plan your day - a day that will be more significant than any other - look no further.
