Jessica and Sean - October 7, 2017

 

Jessica and Sean were married on October 7, 2017 in Schenectady.  They had two ceremonies to celebrate each of their faiths and interests, first with a Catholic ceremony at St. John The Evangelist church then a civil ceremony on the banks of the Mohawk River.  Their second ceremony and their reception were held at River Stone Manor.

I first met Jessica in December of last year and we instantly connected.  Jess has such a big heart and an energetic personality and I was really excited about the fun ideas she had for her wedding.  We narrowed it down to a 40's/50's theme, black and red color palette, and focused the formalities on things that really meant something to them as a couple.  

Jess and Sean's wedding day was so much fun!  Everyone had such great energy it was like there was electricity in the air.  And it was great to see all of the design elements come together for them.  Their wedding was perfectly 'them'.

Thank you Jess for choosing me to be your wedding planner!  I wish you and Sean a lifetime of happiness!

"If I could give Shannon 10 stars I would! Everyone kept telling me that I was the calmest bride they had ever seen. Well I give alot of credit to Shannon. She took care of every single detail from the timeline to meeting the vendors to putting my flip flops under my table. She is very calm and fun and very attentive to our needs. Right before I was getting ready to walk out of my room to the ceremony my veil fell off, I screamed "omg my veil" She came walking through the door and said "I heard you, i'll fix it" I could go on and on and on. Shannon you are top notch and I can't thank you enough for proving the need for you to my husband!"

"I cannot say enough good things about Erin Rossi from Wedding Planning Plus. She was DEFINITELY worth every penny. We hired Erin as a Day of Coordinator. We were unsure if we wanted to hire someone to do this early on because it seemed simple, get people from the church to reception and that's it, right? Wrong. There were so many little details that Erin meticulously planned out and coordinated that made our wedding day run flawlessly. She had a HUGE itinerary of the whole day that really went step-by-step. Having that (even if my bridesmaids mocked me) made me feel a lot more comfortable and made it a lot easier to ensure people were in the right place at the right time. Erin's work with us started about a month before the wedding officially but she was very accessible from the beginning. When we had questions about possible vendors to hire, she was great in providing some insight and helping us out. She also had a very positive attitude and made you feel confident about your decisions. On the wedding day, she was extremely comforting. It was great to have one point person who knew what was going on and how to deal with situations (like getting me a change of shoes). More than once on my wedding day I found myself saying, "just go ask Erin." She stayed the entire night and even helped us clean up afterwards (she even made sure our card box got securely back to our room). Honestly, I cannot recommend her highly enough. If you are not sure if you need a DOC, you do. Pick Wedding Planning Plus. I'm sure that they are all fantastic there!"
