Working with Shelby was, without a doubt, the single best decision we made for our wedding. If I could give them ten stars, I would! From our very first consultation, Shelby brought a sense of calm, organization, humor, and incredible expertise to what could have been a very stressful process. She is an absolute professional who handled every detail—from vendor coordination and contract review to timeline management and troubleshooting—with grace and precision. Our vision for the day felt perfectly understood and executed. Shelby didn't just manage the logistics; she elevated the entire aesthetic and atmosphere. Everything ran seamlessly, and my husband and I were truly able to be present and enjoy every moment, knowing that Shelby was expertly handling things behind the scenes. If you are looking for a planner who is organized, creative, communicative, and genuinely dedicated to making your day perfect, look no further. Hiring La Luz Wedding and Events was the best investment we made, and we wholeheartedly recommend them to any couple getting married. Thank you for giving us the wedding of our dreams!

Shelby and her team were the BEST! I am SO glad I hired La Laz for month of and day of planning. Shelby helped me with everything and was by my side every step of the way. 1000% worth every Penny. She was extremely organized and had templates and lists for everything. She ensured that my wedding day was literally the best day of my life!! Whenever I had odd or specific questions she did her best to answer them and always gave me lots of info. Day of she was so essential and did an amazing job making my wedding feel seamless and well planned and so fun!

We are so glad we got help planning our wedding from LLW&E! It was the best investment we could have made to ensure a memorable and stress-free time. The value of the 8-week splendor package was incredible! Courtney was available anytime we had questions, and the planning portal was so well organized and useful. Going into the last 8 weeks before our wedding Courtney worked with our vendors and put together an awesome day of timeline that made everything easy on our end! She was also incredibly attentive and made sure to understand our priorities and made adjustments and suggestions to accommodate! In hindsight it was a no-brainer! Thank you La Luz Weddings and Events!

Working with Shelby from La Luz Weddings and Events was one of the very best decisions we made for our wedding. From our very first conversation, Shelby’s warmth, organization, and genuine passion for what she does shone through. She instantly made me feel like I was in the best hands — and she delivered above and beyond every single step of the way. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, Shelby was a calm and steady presence. She anticipated things before I did, offered thoughtful advice, and handled every little curveball with such grace that I never had to worry. On the day of the wedding, she was an absolute powerhouse — putting out fires quietly and efficiently, keeping everyone on schedule, and somehow doing it all with a smile on her face and positive energy that was contagious. What I appreciated most was that Shelby truly cared. She wasn’t just checking boxes or running through timelines — she took the time to understand what mattered most to us and made sure those moments came to life exactly how we imagined (and better!). She made me feel seen, supported, and completely at ease throughout the entire process. It’s rare to meet someone who is both highly professional and genuinely kind, but that’s Shelby in every way. She’s organized, creative, endlessly patient, and radiates positivity. Our day was perfect because of her — and I can’t imagine it without her steady guidance and heart. If you’re planning a wedding and want someone who will go above and beyond, handle the chaos so you don’t have to, and bring pure light and joy to your day, Shelby and La Luz Weddings and Events are it. She is truly a beautiful person inside and out, and I’m forever grateful for all she did to make our wedding everything we dreamed of.

If we could give more than 5 stars we would! Planning a wedding and on the fence about whether a planner is worth the money? Don’t second guess it- hire Shelby and her team immediately. From the very first time we met with Shelby, she made us feel so taken care of and made our day run so absolutely smooth our guests were complimenting us the entire evening. Shelby has such a detailed oriented perspective and genuinely cares about her couples. We cannot recommend La Luz Event Planning enough. From providing the groom last minute hair spray the day of the wedding to gracefully handling last minute changes with a calming presence- Shelby is an amazing event coordinator and brings so much love and care to her work. We felt like Shelby was family by the end of our wedding. Do yourself a favor and hire this team, it’ll make your day 100X better!
