Impeccable!

Ellen truly took our vision and went ABOVE AND BEYOND on executing an amazing wedding and event through postponement and a global pandemic! I had so much fun "creating" an even with Ellen that truly left an impression on our guests. I was hopeful I'd be able to find a wedding planner that would be able to envision exactly what I had in mind, and Ellen was just that! I cannot recommend her enough!

Fantastic Experience

Ellen and her team were amazing throughout the entire planning process. Ellen's experience and knowledge helped us to make the best decisions possible and in turn create the most magical night of our lives. No detailed was spared. We could not have done this without the help of her and her team. We were able to enjoy every minute of the day/night without worrying about the details.

Highly recommend Shafox for any upcoming events or weddings in your life.
