Perfectly Planned by Shari

It was truly a privilege for me to work with Shari as she helped to plan our daughter's wedding- Shari was with us right from the start, before the date had even been set, and helped in every aspect of the details and planning. It was a PERFECT day in every way, and something our family will remember fondly for the rest of our lives. Shari was very organized and on top of every little detail, and very methodically helped us get through the planning step by step- she was open to hear all of our ideas and suggestions, and was a wonderful sounding board for all of the things we were hoping to incorporate into the wedding. She ALWAYS responded promptly and courtesously, and was a wealth of information. A day of "no worries" for us, and a wedding like "no other"- AMAZING!

We hired Shari shortly after we got engaged to help us with planning our wedding. Shari presented as extremely professional, personable, and organized. We had several ideas that we wanted to incorporate into our wedding day and she helped make everything possible. She introduced us to wonderful vendors around Pittsburgh and was involved in every part of the planning. Shari was always available and prompt to respond to our questions. She helped coordinate appointments and helped us communicate our ideas to our vendors. The day of the wedding, Shari was absolutely amazing! She made sure everything ran smoothly and we did not have to worry about anything! It was such a comforting feeling knowing that she was there to make everything happen as planned. I would highly recommend Shari's wedding planning to services to any soon-to-be bride and groom and can't thank her enough for helping to make our wedding day so special!

As the wedding guru of the family (think "27 Dresses") nearly every question in the planning process was thrown my way. Shari saved my sanity by taking care of so many details that would have otherwise fallen to me. She was present at the wedding, but not in the way; made sure things stayed on track, but wasn't pushy. Anything I asked her about had already been taken care of or was resolved so quickly that I forgot the question had ever come up. My family and I were able to enjoy the wedding rather than running around making sure things got done. By the end of my sister's wedding my father, who was completely resistant to the idea of a wedding planner in the first place, said that in retrospect he would have hired Shari for the whole event rather than just the day of. Thanks for everything!-- Alexis M. (Maid of Honor/Sister of a Bride)

I hired Shari for "day of" planning services. I had some hesitation at the beginning because it seemed like an expensive service, but in retrospect I see it was well worth the expense. Shari met with me several times before the wedding, helping me with the parts of wedding planning I found most intimidating -- specifically, the "flow" of the day, knowing how long it takes to do everything, MAKING A SCHEDULE for the wedding and reception. She arranged for a rehearsal and was very patient and thorough in explaining what was going to happen. She never tried to pressure me into a more formal or expensive event that I wanted. She listened to what I said and planned accordingly. She responded to emails and phone calls right away. Then, on the actual day, she oversaw the ceremony and party. I felt confident and relaxed. I'm glad I hired Shari for the event and would recommend her to others who are looking for a wedding planner.

Shari was the best thing to ever happen to the world of wedding planning! I cannot imagine having to plan our wedding without her. Shari made every effort to make sure our wedding was exactly what we wanted it to be and we truly felt that she was 100% dedicated to making our wedding perfect. The amount of work, enthusiasm and care Shari put into our event was priceless. We are constantly getting compliments on how amazing our wedding was even now nearly 2 months after our wedding date! I would recommend Perfectly Planned By Shari to anyone planning any sort of event. Shari will make your event all that you want it to be and much, much more!

really came through. Did a lot of going beyond the call of duty. Very appreciated. Extremely well organized
