Kind Words
Sitting nearly 6 months after our Wedding, I can wholeheartedly say Shannon and Periwinkle Events are what made our planning process—and flawless execution day-of—an absolute dream. Shannon’s expertise, particularly of the Portland+ area and vendors, helped us make well-informed decisions about our celebration. She completely alleviated our planning anxiety and truly enabled us to be “in the moment” during the day. Hiring Shannon was the first planning decision we made (and is up there for most impactful decision, too) and we couldn’t be happier with how our planning went together and how well the day was executed. Shannon truly heard our vision of and how we wanted it to feel for our guests and really nailed it. Thank you once again Shannon!
Shannon is an INCREDIBLE wedding planner!! We planned our wedding from across the country and she somehow made us completely forget this aspect. Shannon spends SO much time with you as a couple to understand exactly what you want and is easily accessible and responsive via email, zoom calls and by phone if needed. She truly made the planning process so easy and I can’t express how important it was having her on the actual day of the wedding. I felt incredibly calm knowing that she was in charge due to the fact that she handled literally everything from decor to timeline to dessert table to organizing our send off to clean up afterwards. When I say this woman puts her heart and soul into this business and into ensuring you have the perfect day, that is an understatement. 12/10 would recommend hiring Shannon as your wedding planner, you will not regret it! Thank you, Shannon for all that you do!!
I cannot share enough about how wonderful Shannon is as a person, and how special she made our fall wedding in October 2021. My husband and I met Shannon when touring our future wedding venue and knew pretty immediately that we needed her to help us organize and manage our wedding as we planned from two different states and during a 3 month engagement! I could talk about how kind Shannon was throughout the planning process, the ideas she gave us to cut costs while still delivering a beautiful experience for our guests, or how organized she was in thinking of literally EVERYTHING that needed to get done for the big day, but what I appreciated most of all was Shannon’s fairy magic touch on the ceremony and reception. While I thought that we had gone over every detail, discussed every tea candle, mapped every flower that would go on every table, and then some… I realized that Shannon did so much more than we ever discussed. There were small details I noticed throughout that special day that were never discussed or planned, and I knew Shannon was the one to make it happen. When reflecting back on our wedding, my memories Shannon are of how special she made me feel (as if she doesn’t see a hundred brides and make them all feel equally special), but also of her working so hard to make it perfect - filling the vases with water for our centerpieces, bringing me a cocktail because she knew I wasn’t able to run to the bar, and packing up the decorations while the rest of us danced the night away. My husband and I felt that our meeting Shannon was divinely orchestrated, and we still remember her so fondly a year and a half later! Thank you, Shannon, for all that you did to make the best day of our lives absolutely perfect.
My husband and I had an absolutely incredible experience with Shannon at Periwinkle Events NW. Shannon was our wedding coordinator. Her help and insights did not just happen the day of, but she was so important in helping us in the months leading up to the event. She consistently thought of big things that would not have occurred to me, but that were extremely important. She saved the day in so many ways. Shannon has a naturally effervescent personality. Her sense of humor helps lighten any pre-wedding stress, and her confident knowledge of events and weddings in particular was a huge asset.
My husband and I have many siblings and close friends, so Shannon also gracefully managed our large wedding party. She and her assistant were excellent in managing a big (and sometimes hyper) group.
Our wedding day ran so smoothly and it was because of Shannon's hard work. We loved working with her and highly recommend her.

Shannon is by far one of the BEST people I’ve ever met. My, now husband, & I hired her as our day of coordinator. While planning my wedding, I was REALLY worried and stressed out when it came to vendors. But she was the best decision I made for my wedding. I’ve never met someone more amazing at their job than her. She is so caring, passionate, kind, loving, and so energetic. She did everything we needed and so much more. Like SO MUCH MORE. she made sure my entire wedding day was perfect. All of the behind the scenes mishaps or crazy events that happened, I had NO idea about. I was incredibly stress free and happy all day. She made sure I had time to sit down and eat & always ensured I was doing okay and happy throughout the day. It was so special to me that she even stepped away with me & took a moment with me when I wanted to take it all in. She helped make our entire day so it was special to have her sitting there with me in awe of the whole day. She unexpectedly brought extra decor pieces just in case my stuff clashed or didn’t fit & it was so amazing because we needed it. We LOVE Shannon. Our day was perfect because of her. I would recommend her to EVERY engaged couple I come across for their wedding. Please hire her. Your whole day will go so much better than you had hoped and she’s totally worth every cent!

Shannon went above and beyond our expectations for a wedding planner! She was extremely proficient in all steps of planning and day of execution. We had a few over the top design requests which Shannon handled with ease, she made multiple google docs and spreadsheets to keep track of everything. She was in constant communication with us and all of our vendors, including rehearsal dinner. She made our wedding day the most magical and special day! If your searching for a wedding planner Shannon is the best and your search should end here!
