KIND WORDS
“We interviewed several event planners, and Shenella immediately stood out by a long shot. Her professionalism, confidence, and attention to detail were evident from our very first conversation, paired with an energy that instantly put us at ease. We knew she could bring our vision to life—and she did far more than that. She exceeded every expectation and elevated our event in ways we didn’t even know were possible.
Throughout the planning process, Shenella’s guidance was invaluable. Her expertise is clear, her advice is trustworthy, and her relationships with vendors added incredible value. On the day of our event, she was an exceptional lead—handling logistics seamlessly, managing timelines and guests, and stepping in wherever support was needed. What truly sets her apart is the warmth and care she brings to everything she does. She leads with a genuine smile and makes you feel fully supported every step of the way.”
