Kelly is a dream

I cannot express how amazing the Shannon Gail wedding experience is. We worked with Kelly O'Bryan as a day-of coordinator, and we began working with her a few months before the wedding. Our weekly check-ins were the perfect way to gear up for the big day, and unwind from the stress of planning.
On the day-of, I honestly could not have been more grateful for Kelly, Joanna, and our other Shannon Gail assistants. This team is incredible, and are worth every penny. I felt like a queen all day due to the exceptional planning, coordination and efforts provided by Kelly and her team.

Shannon Gail for the win!

Where to begin? From day one working with Shannon Gail, our planner, Haven, had our minds at ease. We had over 200 people at our wedding and her quarterbacking every single detail into existence was truly a work of art. She kept us calm and on-track the whole way. We can't recommend working with her and Shannon Gail enough!

Best money spent!

Collaborating with SHANNON GAIL proved to be the most valuable investment in our wedding planning journey. Kelly O’Bryan, in particular, orchestrated our day flawlessly. Prior to the wedding, Kelly met with my mom and me weekly, diligently ensuring we stayed on track with both time and budget. Her creative insights allowed us to achieve our desired look and feel for our special day, while staying within budget. Kelly's established rapport with our vendors facilitated a smooth process from start to finish. Even when our cake fell through a week before the wedding, she swiftly provided a backup solution. Not to mention, Kelly even brought a faux fur dog bed on the wedding day so our dog, Honey, could be comfortable. Kelly went above and beyond, and we are forever grateful for her exceptional care and attention to every detail, making our special day truly unforgettable.
