Love Notes

  • I hired Shelley to be my wedding planner and it was the best decision I made! I was extremely overwhelmed thinking I could do it on my own, but once I hired her on, everything went smoothly. She really helped with vendors and the execution of my wedding board on her part was perfect!!! Also, day of the wedding, I did not have to worry about a thing, she took care of everything and it really allowed me to enjoy getting ready with my bridesmaids! Thankful for her hard work and talent!

  • I could not recommend Shelley more. Planning my wedding from across the county, working full time, and running a business was just not going to be possible for me. I gave her my vision for our day and a couple of vendors who I liked their work and she took the reigns from there, getting me quotes, doing all the behind-the-scenes chatting, and communicating with me effectively and efficiently. Not only did she do an amazing day at pulling together our dream day, but the execution day off was nothing but perfection. She made sure every little detail was spot on, we had the perfect timeline, and stayed on time! She is beyond amazing, the nicest and so understanding, you will not regret working with Shelley! Like I said, I could not recommend more!

  • I have no words to express my gratitude to shelley. She is the sole reason my wedding day felt and looked like a fairytale. The minute we hired shelley I knew we were working with a professional who has years of experience behind her. In addition, I instantly noticed her passion for her craft and her ability to build relationships . She has a calming presence that displays a subtle confidence that is carried throughout the planning process, this calming nature helped me as a bride feel assured and affirmed that my day was going to be executed perfectly. As someone who is an anxious bride, shelley was my rock and confidant when I needed her. Shelley is detail oriented, she is prompt and timely, she is efficient, she gets to known her couples and families, and I promise she will give you 110%. Shelley builds long term relationships with her couples and vendors. She maintains those relationships. Her interpersonal skills and her ability to connect with people is evident. Everyone who attended our wedding explained how every detail was accounted for. The timelines she set up was perfect, every transition was easy and allowed us to be in the moment and present. Shelley is a wedding planner/coordinator but she feels like family. She goes above and beyond for her clients.There was not one time that I didn’t feel like a priority to her. Any questions or concern I had she addressed and offered her insight. If there is one component of our wedding that I could not have done without, it would be shelley albanese.

  • Shelley was amazing!!!!! We cannot thank her enough for helping us both through the months leading up to the wedding and the day of. She paid attention to every detail that was important to us and both sides of our families. She was attentive to all of the cultures that were coming together that day and was kind to all of our guests. Every time we needed something she was magically right behind us. I don’t know how she did it but we are forever grateful. The day ran so smoothly and was hugely thanks to her. Thank you Shelley!!!

  • My husband Todd and I had the pleasure of working with Shelley for our wedding this past August in Tehachapi, CA, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the experience. From start to finish, Shelley made our wedding planning process effortless and enjoyable. Her relaxed and friendly demeanor put us at ease right away. Shelley has a remarkable ability to handle every detail with grace and efficiency, which allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the joy of our special day without any stress. Her attention to detail and creative vision were truly impressive, turning our dream wedding into a beautiful reality. Shelley's warmth and professionalism were evident in every interaction, and her dedication to ensuring everything went smoothly was second to none. She went above and beyond to make sure that every aspect of our wedding was perfect, and we felt completely confident and supported throughout the entire process! We can't thank her enough for making our wedding day so memorable and magical!

  • Shelley was an absolute dream to work with and made our wedding planning experience truly wonderful! From the very beginning, her friendly demeanor, organization, and extensive knowledge made what could have been a stressful process incredibly smooth and stress-free. She provided us with valuable insights into many of the vendors we ended up choosing, ensuring we had the best team for our special day. Shelley was so thoughtful and patient throughout the entire planning journey. However, it was on the day of our wedding that she truly shined. Shelley was in her element when pulling together and executing the wedding day game plan, ensuring everything ran on time and smoothly - all with a smile on her face! She handled all the day of coordination with family and vendors, so that we could relax and fully enjoy our day without any hassle. Now that our wedding is over, we're not only sad that the day has passed but also because we won't get to work with Shelley anymore. We couldn't recommend her enough for anyone planning their wedding! Thank you, Shelley, for making our day perfect!!
