Introduction: Nice to meet you! I'm Shelby, the Creative Director of Shine Event Design. I founded this company to help people like you celebrate every great moment in life. We provide a full spectrum of event planning services that consistently win rave reviews from our clients and their guests. From wedding days to intimate dinner parties and every celebration in between, we love making each event completely unique for the people being celebrated. In addition to planning and coordination, our studio provides boutique floral design services that are uniquely designed for your celebration. We offer these services separate from our planning services or in combination- as it best fits your needs. Our clients tell us that their guests are still raving about their event (even months after it has happened)! I've been party planning for my entire life. As a child, I threw the best parties in the land and, as a professional, I continue to exceed my client's expectations for their big days and life milestones. When selecting venues together, developing floral design, brainstorming thoughtful gifts for guests, selecting the perfect dessert, or building a vendor dream team for your event, I have a great time getting to better know my clients and suggesting small ways to leave a lasting impression on the guests at their wedding, celebration or party. Give my studio a ring or drop us a note. I'd love to chat with you about what you have planned for your big day already, what help you're looking for. (And, don't forget to introduce yourself on instagram, say hello on twitter and view some of the inspiration boards on pinterest we're working on with current clients!)

Shelby was simply amazing from the first day we met her all the way through our wedding day. She didn’t miss a beat and helped make sure our wedding day went off without a hitch. During the planning process, she did a great job keeping us sane when issues would arise, and calmly helped develop mitigation plans to keep things on track. We would recommend her 100 times out of 100 to plan any event and are so thankful that we found her. Thanks so much Shelby for everything you did! R & K

I can't say enough good things about Shelby at Shine Event Design. Let's just say...I already miss our daily chats as we planned my wedding! Shelby is professional and thinks about every little detail. She knows how to listen to a clients ideas and make them a reality. When I walked into our venue on my wedding day I was in tears....it was everything I imagined. We planned everything long distance and there was NO way I could have pulled off such an elegant and elaborate wedding at Chambers Bay Golf course without her help. I would highly recommend Shelby for any wedding or occasion that could use an amazing planner. Thank you Shelby! -Elizabeth

Thank you so much, Elizabeth! I absolutely loved working with you as well (and also miss our almost daily chats!). Truly one of my favorite moments was walking into the tent with you for our "reception reveal." I loved seeing you enjoy all of the little details we worked so hard on together. Enjoy being a newlywed and then call me anytime and we'll chat about the next big party in your life! xo, Shelby

Is there a character limit to these reviews? Because I simply cannot say enough great things about Shelby! We were one of the many couples who had to postpone our April 2020 wedding because of covid, and we were finally able to have it on April 30th, 2022. Shelby worked with us the entire time without fail, and through the reschedules we had to make, as well as a venue change since our first venue shut down at the end of 2021. She was absolutely instrumental in the planning of our wedding and the execution of the day itself. As far as my POV was concerned, she is magic - things just happened, flowed, were entirely perfect. She flawlessly took care of coordinating everything that day, handled our vendors, got what minimal decorations we did have put in place. She even found a really cool display thing to put our wedding favors in that happened to be at the venue! She also had my back when our (amazing!) photographers and videographer were getting a bit intense and checked in with me to make sure I wasn't getting too overwhelmed. She is so incredibly kind, caring, thorough, flexible; just amazing. She was a huge key part in making our day happen at all and making it just wonderful for us. I almost wish I could have another wedding to work with her again! I can't recommend her services enough; you will absolutely NOT be disappointed one bit working with Shelby. Thank you so much, it was just awesome working with you!!

Shelby at Shine Event Design is the real deal! You will not find anyone more intelligent, organized, well networked, caring, skillful, observant, and deeply experienced to work on one of the most important events of your life. My partner and I needed help to plan and execute a party/reception at a local park to celebrate our marriage. We wanted something unique to our relationship and values. It was difficult to find a wedding planner who wasnt awash in heteronormative notions and practices to help us. (Though she could pull off any type of event.) Shelby kept apace of our meticulous needs and wants. Since we had been in Seattle a short time, she was a literal gold mine of resources. She knew who to call and how to negotiate with vendors. She was excellent with both the macro overlook of the Gathering and the micro details, including financial considerations. Everyone she connected us to were amazing people and skilled professionals. Our Gathering was magic! It ran smoothly: the food and entertainment was excellent, the tables were elegant in a rustic setting, the day of program was devised smartly to provide a predictable event structure that opened up the space for an abundance of FUN and real connectivity between our guests, (most of whom were from out-of-town and had not met before.). The JOY of the day lives on in our memories, the intensely positive feedback from our guests resonates in our hearts, and the continued enhanced connection we had with our loved ones will last a lifetime. Thank you Shelby for your grace, sparkle in the eye, incredible skill, and thorough commitment.
