"We were lucky enough to work with Kate for Day of Coordinating services. To say there were a lot of moving parts to our wedding is an understatement. Our venue was a blank slate and we brought in essentially every component; from chairs, linens, plates and flatware to the stove and grill for the caterer. To complicate things further, our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception were all at different locations. We had separate vendors for flowers, lighting, transportation, rentals, and catering but also had many personal items we brought in to customize the spaces. Lastly, my fiance and I were planning our upstate NY wedding from Washington, DC. I was a little worried we were going to scare Kate off during our first call, but she took it all in stride and continued to throughout the process. Like many couples, we assumed we had thought of everything. "Kate will take care of it," became a constant refrain (and somewhat of a running joke) whenever we thought of something new. Her list grew longer and longer but she graciously and professionally handled each and every item. On more than one occasion, I would shoot her a frantic text about the most minute detail and knew I didn't have to think of it again. She was organized, diligent, and thorough. It was important for us to work with someone who could take our months of planning and execute our vision in the final weeks leading up to the wedding. After over a year of exchanging hundreds of emails with vendors and creating too many checklists to count, we wanted someone else to be the point person so we could really enjoy our wedding without distractions. Thanks to Kate, we were able to do just that! She worked extremely hard to ensure we had a stress-free and amazing day. We always felt like her number one priority and thoroughly enjoyed our time working with her. Choosing Kate and WPP to help us with our coordinating needs was one of the best decisions we made and we wouldn't hesitate recommending them!"

Booked In Two Days - Review For Shannon Just Posted


Photo by Rob Spring Photography


Michelle and Bradley hired me just two days (!!) before their wedding looking for my last minute help with day-of wedding coordination.  They were married on September 30th at the brand new Renaissance Albany Hotel and were a joy to work with.  I wish I had gotten a chance to know them longer!  I was thrilled to be able to give them the help they needed, and thrilled that they just left me this sweet review.

"We required some last minute help before our wedding and I am so lucky I came across Shannon's services. In a pinch she was able to get up to speed and dive right in. Having her help that day allowed me to enjoy every single moment of the day. She was attentive, kind, and professional, everything I could have asked for!"

Two Planners, One Great Review!

Katie and Kevin were married at The Mansion Inn on October 15th and they worked with not one WPP planner but two!  Shannon was their wedding planner helping them put the details together for their event and Kate coordinated their day to make sure everything was perfect from start to finish.  Katie left this review sharing her experience with both planners.  Thank you Katie!

"I booked Shannon as our wedding planner before we were "officially" engaged (gasp) - I had a phone call with her and instantly knew I wanted to work with her. Although email responses weren't always timely (I also work in client service), I can truthfully say I would not haveworked with half of my wonderful vendors if it weren't for Shannon. From being in the wedding industry for so long, she has an endless supply of vendor contacts within every budget. She also took care of reviewing every contract before each vendor was booked. I pride myself on saying I only had two truly bridezilla moments - once was when my original make up artist fell through and once the week before the wedding regarding a flower disaster. Shannon provided more alternative make up vendors than I could have imagined, especially keeping in mind my preferred style and budget. And then the flower disaster...Shannon was ON VACATION and when I emailed her frantically panicking a week before the wedding, she solved my problem within 24 hours. If you want a wedding planner who will be there when things get hairy, Wedding Planning Plus is your answer. I also had the extreme pleasure of working with Kate, a junior wedding planner, as my day of coordinator. I CANNOT imagine my wedding day without her there. I didn't have to worry about ANYTHING. I'm, by nature, an extremely detail oriented person and Kate answered what felt like an exhaustive list of my questions right up until the wedding day. She took care of coordinating all vendor arrivals and set up down to the minute, really anything and everything on our wedding day. Even if you don't go with a wedding planner, I 150% recommend investing in a day of coordinator, especially with WPP!! Thank you to Shannon and Kate for always calming my nerves and making my wedding day AMAZING!!!"

"Shannon at Wedding Planning Plus is the best. She helped us to not only plan our wedding, but keep our sanity. Sometimes I swear she's a therapist in addition to wedding planner... She helped us to choose vendors, answered our stupid questions, planned the day of from a to z with utmost precision, and helped settle family "disputes" - all with charm, grace, and unending patience. The day of our wedding, no matter what was happening, I could feel calm knowing that Shannon was around to handle any and all situations that arose (and, of course, there were situations that arose!). She always had a level head and helped us all keep our cool throughout it all. Our wedding was INCREDIBLE, and without Shannon there, my family and I would have had so much more to deal with and worry about. We loved her, and her colleague Erin, and would highly recommend to all brides and grooms, no matter the style or size of your wedding. You can't go wrong with Shannon or WPP!"
