Shay Brown Events

I found Shay Brown Events through Style Me Pretty and she is not only incredibly gifted at wedding planning but she became my friend and confidant through the planning process. We picked Bald Head Island for our destination wedding weekend. The fact that it's an island crated a series of obvious tactical issues but Shay didn't flinch. She exuded a calm confidence that I wouldn't have survived that process without. Shay Brown turned my blush, romantic and intimate wedding vision into a reality. From the first time I talked to her until the last little hug before I walked down the isle, she was essential and irreplaceable. She made me feel relaxed and confident which as a bride in the midst of wedding planning seemed nearly unattainable. She is very creative and understands exactly how to translate the vision of your wedding into a picturesque beautiful reality. Just by sending her a few pictures of what inspired me she knew precisely how to accomplish it. The table linens, the chair covers, the candle holders, the custom made columns for the arrangements down the isle, the flowers, the petals, the centerpieces, the timelines, the schedules and the overall exacting attention to detail were all done flawlessly. When I finally saw all the elements that we had created and designed come together at the Bald Island Club it literally took my breath away. It mirrored my imagination and as I think back to that evening I am overjoyed that I had Shay and her experienced team. She was extraordinary in her ability to make me feel relaxed and unstressed while taking care of all the little details and taking on any issue I needed help with. My dress is a blush color and has a romantic soft feel that we wanted to be reflected throughout all the elements. The flowers were done by Shay's recommended vendor Bobby and Mark Designs and I couldn't have been happier. They were stunningly beautiful, incorporating blush pinks, shades of white and a deep blue that really made the pink pop. They worked tirelessly to create exactly what I wanted. Shay and her assistant Amy were a dream to work with and they paid attention to every detail. They were always there smiling and reassuring me throughout the whole weekend. They rose to every challenge and when hosting an event every night for a destination wedding weekend, there are always unforeseen issues. I was able to completely trust them to help me create my dream wedding, and couldn't have done it without Shay Brown Events. Having a talented, creative, personable and endearing team of people helping me allowed me to ultimately enjoy my wedding and to really be in the moment and not overwhelmed with all the logistics that come with a wedding. For that reason alone, to look back on your wedding and feel like you savored the moments that can never be recreated I can not recommend a better partner and planner than Shay Brown.

Shay and her staff were absolutely wonderful to work with, they were very friendly and helpful. Shay and her assistant made my wedding party, family and myself feel very comfortable the whole wekend. Shay is familiar with a lot of vendors in the Asheville area and made planning my wedding a breeze! Highly recomended.

The Best In The Business!!! I don't think I could have planned and organized a wedding without your help. I loved having all the little details taken care of. Our families adored you. Our wedding could not have been better. Jennifer & Mark Smith Homewood Estate

I do not have enough words or time to express how amazing Shay and her staff at Shay Brown Events are! My husband and I live in Philadelphia and decided to marry in Asheville, NC. We found Shay online and on our first trip to Asheville met with her to begin the planning process. Shay radiates warmth and sincerity, which immediately made us feel comfortable. Neither my husband or myself had specifics we could give to Shay as to what we wanted our wedding to look or feel like but that didn't stand in her way of making our wedding day the best day of our lives! Shay was very in tune to us and our personality,our needs, and our budget. We would not have been able to pull off the wedding weekend we did if it weren't for SBE. Shay made the planning process incredibly easy, especially since we were planning from 600 miles away. She and her entire staff were always available to answer questions and help with all aspects of the planning process. We were in Asheville a total of 3 times before the wedding and able to plan everything in those visits! I was quite intimidated by horror stories I've heard from friends during their wedding planning but working with SBE was a dream; it could not have been easier. Our wedding came off without flaw! Love Shay Brown!!

She was always available and responded quickly to any e-mails that I sent with questions or concerns. She made the wedding and the reception looks flawless. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone who needs a wedding/event planner! Shay Brown is not only a fantastic wedding/event planner, but is also an absolutely fabulous person!"
