About Gwen's Candlelight Weddings
Gwen's Candlelight Weddings
My name is Gwendolyn Shields. I'm a professional with a degree in Marriage Ministries and a degree from the New York Institute of Art And Design for wedding planning. I assist with the design, planning and management of your wedding. I'm a wedding minister / wedding planner / and a wedding coordinator for over 25 years. I have performed weddings from, elegant church weddings, intimate small weddings, beach weddings to same sex weddings. I've coordinated and planned over 200 weddings from start to finish, eliminating the hard work and stress from the bride and groom.
The passion to make this wedding the greatest day of the bride and groom's life. Listening to their goal and dreams then making them come true. Communication, daily conversation on ideas and questions that may arise. Always adding in unique ideas to create choices and improvements. Alleviate all stressful matters that may occur. At the end of a wedding day, I'm proud of all the hard work I, my staff, and the bride and groom have accomplished to make this day the greatest day of the bride and groom's life
In three words: Creative, Innovative, Organized

Awesome!
Very professional. Gwen was amazing. Would HIGHLY recommend!!!!
Perfect out of town beach wedding
Working with Gwen was awesome! She did so much to help coordinate and plan our perfect out of town beach wedding. We couldn't have done it without her. She listened to what my vision was and made it happen. She coordinated and planned everything from the dinner, chair and table rentals, to arch, drapes, cake, photography and more. She even went the extra mile to make it successful when the storm blew in. She was so easy and fun to work with. Highly recommend her services.
simplicity
We did not realize all that went into planning a wedding. Mrs Shields was there for us from start to finish. She alleviated the stress, always making suggestions on bettering the outcome of our wedding. She worked very closely with us, listened, and communicated with us on a daily basis. Our wedding and reception was picture perfect. she was amazing.
