Christine and Brad, Chicago, IL

October 13, 2014

“We had the absolute pleasure of working with Shannon Gonzalez on our October wedding.  We hired Shannon to be our day-of coordinator, and my fiance and I agreed, hands-down, that it was the best decision that we made in the entire planning process and for our wedding (with the exception, maybe, of the decision to say “I do”… ).  We had a couple of meetings with Shannon in the couple of months leading up to the big day, where she collected a TON of detail about our family, wedding party, plans/desires for photos, ceremony, processional, reception.  You name it, she thought of it.  While I knew she was super organized and could see it would be helpful to have her there, I didn’t realize just how critical she was to the day until that day.  She and her assistant Sarah made everything flow seamlessly, and shuffled people from place to place just as we had planned.  I didn’t have to think about ANYTHING — she even brought me my cowboy boots immediately after I was done with our first dance, because I had planned to change to be more comfortable.  And she did all of this with grace and a huge smile.

It really was a great experience to work with Shannon, and I would recommend her to anyone who asks.  Or anyone who doesn’t ask.”
