Hiring SHE was hands down one of the best decisions we made in our entire wedding planning journey. From start to finish, Shayla brought such a perfect mix of professionalism, creativity, and calm reassurance that made the whole process not only seamless but actually enjoyable. She has this amazing ability to truly see your vision and then bring it to life in a way that feels even more magical than you imagined. What really stood out was how she handled every bump in the road. Weddings naturally come with unexpected twists, but every time something came up, she addressed it so quickly and efficiently that it never felt like a problem at all. We never had to stress, because we knew she was already two steps ahead with a solution. That level of confidence and trust is priceless. She was also incredible when it came to vendors. Her recommendations were spot on, and she managed all the moving parts like an absolute pro. We felt like we had the dream team because she curated the right people and made sure everyone worked together flawlessly. Beyond her organization and expertise, what makes her truly special is how much she genuinely cares about her couples. We never felt like “just another client.” She wanted us to feel at ease, supported, and celebrated every step of the way. Her warmth, thoughtfulness, and dedication made us feel so taken care of. On the wedding weekend itself, everything was executed to perfection. We were able to be fully present and soak in the joy of the weekend, knowing Shayla and her team, Meredith, and Sequoyah were behind the scenes orchestrating every detail. She is truly the best in the business. A total boss, a creative genius, and someone who pours her heart into her work. We cannot recommend her enough to any couple looking for not just a planner, but a partner who will go above and beyond to make their dream wedding a reality!!!

Working with Shayla for out July 2025 wedding was the absolute best decision we made throughout our entire wedding planning process. From the very first conversation over a year and a half ago, we felt completely at ease knowing we had someone so kind, talented, and experienced in our corner. Planning a wedding can feel overwhelming, but Shayla made every single step feel manageable, exciting, and fun. She has an incredible ability to take your ideas—no matter how vague—and turn them into something more beautiful and thoughtful than you ever could have imagined. Literally bringing your Pinterest board to life! Throughout our planning journey, Shayla was organized, responsive, and so deeply invested in making sure our day was exactly what we envisioned. She handled every detail with care and professionalism, and made us feel so supported the entire time. Our venue did not make it easy for her, but she was able to execute everything in a way we could have only imagined! On the actual wedding day, she and her team executed everything flawlessly. The timeline ran like clockwork, the decor was breathtaking, and every little moment felt perfectly curated. My fiance and I were able to be completely present and enjoy every second of our day, and we owe that entirely to Shayla. But more than her talent and professionalism, what makes Shayla so special is the heart she brings to her work. She genuinely cares about her couples and treats your wedding like it’s her own. I trusted her with absolutely everything, and she never let us down—not once. She’s thoughtful, calming, detail-oriented, and has a true gift for what she does. Even the groomsmen at our wedding were complimenting her and said she was the nicest wedding planner they have ever met! I truly cannot imagine having gone through this process without her by our side. If you are lucky enough to work with Shayla, you’ll not only end up with the wedding of your dreams—you’ll also gain a planner who feels like a friend for life. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

There are truly no words big enough to capture the depth of our gratitude for Shayla Hawkins Events—but we’ll try. Working with Shayla was one of the greatest blessings of our entire wedding journey. From day one, she brought unmatched attention to detail, incredible project management, and a sense of calm, care, and creativity that carried us through every single moment—from the first conversation to every last detail and the stories we’ll tell for years to come. Shayla has an extraordinary eye for beauty and design, but even more rare is her genuine heart and the personal investment she makes in every couple she works with. She didn’t just plan a wedding—she created an experience that was completely unique to us, filled with thoughtful touches, joyful surprises, and intentional moments that made our day feel like an absolute dream come true. Her recommendations were always spot on—elevated, elegant, and totally in line with our vision. We felt so cared for, so seen, and so supported through every step of the process. Shayla is not just a planner—she is a visionary, a steady hand, and a forever friend. We would choose her a million times over without hesitation, and feel so lucky and beyond blessed to have had her by our side. We also want to give a huge, heartfelt shoutout to Sequoia and Meredith, who were incredible throughout the entire process. Their constant support, love, and positivity made everything feel seamless. It was truly a dream team, and we will forever be grateful. Thank you, Shayla, for turning our dreams into reality and for being the kind of person and planner that every couple hopes to find. You’ll always be part of our love story.

We got married in April of 2025 and hiring SHE was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding! From the very beginning, Meredith was incredibly patient, responsive, and truly listened to our vision—then made it all come to life flawlessly. She was always available to answer questions, offer guidance, and keep everything moving smoothly. On the wedding day, she was an absolute rockstar. I didn’t have to worry about a single thing—she kept everyone on schedule, handled every little detail with care, and made sure everything was organized and stress-free. Because of her and the SHE team, my husband and I were able to fully enjoy our day without any distractions or stress. I cannot recommend them enough! They are true professionals and an amazing team to have by your side.
