Love Notes
“Stephanie was an absolute dream planner turned friend to work with! From the moment we had begun talking with her about having her plan our wedding, we knew she was the one for us! Her upbeat personality and calm demeanour will have you even more excited to attend your own wedding than you ever thought possible! We had the BEST and most chill time at our wedding with absolutely no stress. Never been happier and it’s because of her and the Sweetheart Events team executing the day flawlessly! More importantly, she constantly reminds you that even though this is your wedding and it’s going to be the best day ever, to take time for each other through the process and still build that relationship because it’s the marriage afterwards that really matters.”

After meeting with several wedding coordinators I finally met Shawna. It was like love at first sight! Shawna removed all my stress and made planning my wedding a relaxing and exciting experience. She broke all our tasks down and made it very manageable to juggle work, life and planning. Her vast knowledge of amazing vendors made for quick work to select the best companies for our wedding cake, decor and rentals. I loved that I would pitch out an idea to Shawna (no matter how crazy!) and she would get back to me promptly with an A, B and C option. I honestly can not say enough good things about her! When our wedding day finally arrived I was a bundle of butterflies and Shawna went above and beyond to make sure I was relaxed and enjoying the moment. Her and her team worked so hard to bring my vision to life and it truly was the greatest day ever!”

Fun facts

What do you consider your style to be?

My wedding style is West Coast, organic and simplistic. Planned with intention with details that share a story of your love together. My personal style - t-shirt, jeans, jeans, leather jacket and a scarf...always. I have an obsession!

Where do you find your design inspiration?

I find a lot of my design inspiration from my couples. It's how they dress, what they like to do, and how they decorate their homes. I want their wedding to truly reflect them.

What are your favorite kinds of couples to work with?

My favourite kind of couples to work with are those that truly want a wedding experience. They value and put emphasis on the ceremony and hire a planner to not only guide them through the process but to gift them time so they can be truly present and enjoy the day with their loved ones. Personality is key in choosing your planner and I often become friends with my couples after.

What is your favorite part of a wedding?

I have so many favourites of a wedding but I will narrow it down to two. The first being the processional, those moments where I hug my couple just before they get married and the moment of this is really happening and also watching the groom and his emotions as their partner is walking towards them. I find so many people look at the bride (as they should) but I love catching a glimpse of the groom during the processional. The second being when my couple walks into the room for the first time and sees all the hours of planning come together. Allowing them to be present and enjoy the day with their family and loved ones brings me so much joy and accomplishment.
