Shawfield Events & Design 

5.0

  • Offers 3 services
  • Starts at $1,800
  • Serves Manchester, IL

Shawfield Events & Design is a full-service event planning company based in Springfield, Illinois serving Central Illinois and beyond. Owners/Coordinators Meghan and Corinne are dedicated to organizing distinctive and stylish events of any size and budget and together with clients, strive to reimagine spaces and craft timeless experiences.

I bumped into Corinne and Meghan working at a friend’s wedding a few years ago. The wedding was beautiful and ran so smoothly. I kept their business cards handy because I knew they were the exact team I needed to help me execute my big day. They were one of the first emails I sent after I became engaged and hired them to be my day of coordinator. I worked with Corinne and she was amazing from the get-go. She was so great with communication through calls and emails right from the beginning and made sure that I was on target to have everything done before the big weekend. She made sure no detail, no matter how small, didn’t slip through the cracks. The big day went so smoothly and I have Corinne and Shawfield to thank. All I had to do was make sure the linens were on the table and Corinne did the rest to set up the reception area. The most meaningful request of the evening came when I ripped my bustle while making our grand entrance at the reception. I panicked internally, but Corinne came to the rescue and spent time hand stitching the dress back together to make sure it was comfortable the rest of the evening. When I tell you that she went above and beyond, I truly mean that. You can’t hire a better duo to help with your big day.

Before You Say I Do 

5.0

  • Offers 5 services
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Manchester, IL

Hello, my lovely couples! My name is Annie and I have started my business at the beginning of 2023 and so far I've had clients from all over the East Coast. I am focused on Partial, Full time Wedding planning, Elopements and A-la carte. My goal is to help my clients and make sure that their wedding goes by the plan that they created.

Annie from Before You Say I Do was an exceptional day-of-coordinator for our special day. Her communication style was frequent, clear, thoughtful, timely, and she was quick to respond to all of our questions and needs. The quality of her work and the value she provided was excellent-- she is hard-working and was incredibly considerate throughout the entire process. She went above and beyond, offering to bring additional decorations and even showing up the day before to assist with our traditional Vietnamese Tea Ceremony, which was not even on the same day as our official wedding. We had only hired her for her day-of coordination package, but even so, she was a consistent voice and helping hand for us for months leading up to the wedding. I can only imaging if we would have booked her whole wedding planning service, our wedding probably would have somehow been even more perfect than it already was. We are so grateful for her dedication and attention to detail in making our wedding day perfect. I highly recommend booking Annie!

Awarded Best of Zola
I had the best experience with The Venlist. I was fortunate to work with two great planners, first Kyra, and then Brittany. Kyra really understood what I was going for and was excellent at helping me plan, so I was bummed when she left. However, Brittany is absolutely amazing. She’s the absolute best at what she does. She goes above and beyond for you and she will definitely deal with any vendor issues you may have. Brittany is the main reason why my wedding vision was properly executed and brought to life. The Notion platform was perfect in keeping track of all things wedding, and I loved the style of it. Brittany is such a great person and easy to connect with. I will definitely keep in touch with her even after my wedding.

I found Alexa on the Knot and booked her for Monarch’s full wedding planning package as my husband & I were planning a wedding outside of Chicago in an unconventional venue, 9 months away, and lived in another state. It was a big challenge but from the initial consultation, we loved Alexa’s energy, organization, commitment and just knew we could trust her with our once in a lifetime event. The planning process was extremely organized, thorough and well-paced. She matched my attention to detail, tackled unplanned challenges with ferocity (which included a limited selection of vendors given the location of our venue) and was as dedicated to bringing my very specific vision to life as I was. She brought great vendor recommendations and connections and did countless hours of research on new vendors. Details were well-documented and thoroughly discussed to ensure all parties were aligned. Even though our venue was farther outside Chicago (Indiana), she ran several venue walkthroughs in-person, attended vendor visits with me, and always accommodated my husband and I’s busy schedule. As Alexa started to step away for her maternity leave (which started right before our wedding date), she did an amazing job ensuring her team was fully prepared to handle last minute preparations and day-of responsibilities. The day-of team of 3 were awesome with completely handling all details A-Z so I didn’t have to worry about anything, even despite some last minute changes due to weather! Due to the complexity of our venue, its location, short timeline, and being from out-of-state, we are SO GLAD we booked Monarch for their full planning package and had the privilege of working with Alexa! It was sincerely our pleasure to have her bring our special day to life, she was a joy to work with and get to know. If I were getting married again, I’d book her services again no question! Thank you Alexa!!

Not to mention the day of the wedding she was such a gem. I was able to relax and enjoy my morning while she made my vision come to life on the venue floor. She didn’t stop there though we did constant check ins, if I needed anything at any point she was right there for us. Our day truly could not have gone off as smooth as it did without her right there to keep us on track. We would recommend her to any couple looking for wedding coordinating; any day!
