Michelle and Bryan Review WPP!



Michelle and Bryan just left a wonderful review of my services on Wedding Wire.  Thank you guys so much for taking the time to leave such kind words!!

To read the rest of our Wedding Wire reviews CLICK HERE.


I can't say enough about how wonderful it was working with Shannon for coordinating our wedding day. From the start, Shannon was there to answer our questions and ensure that our day would be exactly the way we wanted it to be. The week and day of our wedding we were able to relax and enjoy everything because we knew Shannon had everything under control and taken care of. We were so incredibly pleased with how smoothly our wedding day went. Without her, I don't think that our day would have been as perfect for us as it was!

Running To The Altar


You are invited to join the group

"Running To The Altar"

A running group designed for area brides and their girls to share wedding ideas with 
Wedding Planning Plus wedding planners and each other while getting fit and having fun.


Wedding Planning Plus owner Shannon Whitney has two passions in life:  Working with amazing couples planning and coordinating the biggest day in their lives, and distance running.
It is the combination of these two things that sparked the idea for Shannon to create this running group.  

The concept is simple:  Brides, bridesmaids, their moms, and their friends join up with Shannon and the planners of Wedding Planning Plus to get outdoors, get fit, and to share their wedding planning stories, ideas, and questions.

Think of it as getting free wedding planning advice while you work out!

Group runs will be taking place weekly in and around Albany.  All ability levels are welcome, and distances and paces will vary per run.  

Go to the "Running To The Altar" Facebook page for more information and to sign up for upcoming group runs.

(And did we mention that Shannon is training for her 8th marathon?  Not a bad opportunity to get some good running advice while you're at it!)

So grab your girls and your running shoes and let's get you 'wedding dress ready'!

Introducing Our Newest WPP Intern Lauren!



I am excited to introduce the newest member of our WPP team, Lauren Montesano.  Lauren joins us in the role of intern for this 2013 season to learn all of the behind the scenes tricks and tips to becoming an expert wedding planner and coordinator.  She brings a wealth of experience in the sales field, and customer service, professional communication, and a personal passion for party planning are her strong suits.  Many of our upcoming summer couples will have the chance to meet and work with Lauren, and I can say she has a great future in wedding planning ahead of her.

Welcome Lauren!!
