Thank You Shannon!

Shannon was so easy to chat with, accessible for any and all questions we had leading up (including with venue hiccups), and on the day of swooped in with her assistant Kristina and helped everything run perfectly. We worked with her as our month of coordinator as we had already identified all the vendors and booked things, but when others brought in chaotic energy, Shannon de-stressed and de-escalated everything so we were totally chill for our big day. She was a dream partner!

Wedding Day At Ease

Hiring Wedding Planning Plus for our wedding day was by far one of the best decisions we could have made! We were really on the fence of even hiring a day of coordinator and boy are we glad we did. The day would not have gone so smoothly without Eliza and the rest of the team we had for our special day. Eliza was tentative to everything we could have needed throughout our day and for the most part a head of it all. Everything from the wedding day nerves to fixing my dress, having shoes available to me immediately (We hiked a mountain for our ceremony) Eliza was there. All of our wishes throughout the day that we made clear we wanted to happen.. happened. There was no stress for any part of the process and everything we worried about prior Eliza ensured it would be taken care of.

You NEED this team!

Eliza was an absolute dream to work with! Our wedding day was truly better than we could have ever imagined and that would not have been possible without Wedding Planning Plus! No question was ever to big or small and no middle of the night panic email was ever too much! I can truly say that the wedding planning process was enjoyable because of the team. You will not regret having WPP at the center of your vendor team!

Shannon Whitney Anson
Founder and Principal Planner

Hi, I'm Shannon! Upstate New York has been my home for my entire adult life. I’m so grateful to live and work in such a beautiful part of the country. I grew up right near Lake George and currently live outside Albany with my husband and our three rescue pups. I have run 15 marathons (and counting), love East Coast IPA's, and my iPod is stocked full of music from my favorite band (Phish!).

I started planning weddings in 2007 and during the last 13+ years I have seen more and more couples looking to break the cookie cutter mold and plan a completely unique celebration for their family and friends. That’s why I love getting to know my couples and building them a special event that is expertly crafted and authentically them.

It’s one of the most important days of your life, shouldn’t it feel authentically yours?

Shannon's right-hand-woman and our team's wedding planner extraordinaire. Alex's extensive background in catering, along with her infectiously relaxed nature, help keep all of our couples well supported from the day she starts working with them until the encore is finished at the end of each bash. Everyone needs an Alex in their life.

Eliza is our young/old soul who brings her own signature energy to all of her couples' events. She will crack you up while keeping stress and fears down, probably bringing you into her fold recalling a story about her family and her dog, and will in the end make sure your day is set up for the most brilliant success.
