Best investment ever!

If you’re even thinking about it, just do it! Shing Weddings was by far the best decision we made for our wedding. Weddings can be costly - specifically when you think of not only the money you spend but the time intensive process of planning it all. Eva was our lead planner for our wedding (process - and it was a process!). The amount of dedication, time and work she put into it was amazing. I plan events for work and like to think that I am good at what I do, however, after seeing the level of detail and organization Eva had, I realized I need to implement more of that into my life! There are so many little details that you don’t think of until someone else brings it up, from pens for signing to card boxes to who is going to do what and when. Eva made the entire process of planning a wedding (almost) stress free! She took our budget and ran with it, and we did not go over budget at all - even with all the last minute details we decided to add in. She organized not only all the vendors, but helped create a script for my friend / MC and all of our wedding party. Eva helped to manage all the little details - even when it came to our families and the surprises they threw our way. After watching other friends plan weddings and the stress they had, I can honestly say that I felt completely at ease and felt like I only needed to make the big decisions and the rest was handled for us.
On our actual wedding day, we had Eva, Lisa and Alex help to navigate the day and again, keep us stress free (as well as hydrated and pampered!) We are immensely grateful that we were fully able to be present at and enjoy every moment of our wedding day without having to worry about any of the details. They handled all the surprises from our family with ease and the entire day went by what seemed to be seamlessly! Not to mention they kept us on time, at ease and hydrated throughout the day. There are so many things Eva and team did for us not only on our wedding day, but before, and AFTER was well! I cannot imagine having to go through this process without them. I cannot recommend Eva and Shing Weddings enough! Again, if you’re even contemplating them, don’t think twice. It is 100% worth the investment and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone I know who is getting married!

The BEST wedding planning team ever!

From our first meeting with Michelle, we knew that we would be in good hands. We booked Michelle and her team from Shing Weddings a year in advance of our wedding, and it was worth every penny. My husband and I both live in the Bay Area and are super busy with work, so we needed someone we could depend on and who could recommend good vendors for us. We booked the full wedding planning package for our 90+ guest wedding, and we're so thankful that we did.

From the start, Michelle was warm, communicative, and knowledgeable. She recommended great vendors and organized everything into spreadsheets, and she sent frequent reminders throughout the year for us to complete our "homework" items. It's clear that Shing Weddings has an amazing reputation in the wedding industry, as all of our vendors were very happy to work with them. Michelle is fluent in both Mandarin and English, which was very helpful for our bilingual wedding, and she guided us through the traditional Chinese tea ceremony as well. She was super responsive and patient with our questions, and we felt like we were in great hands leading up to the wedding.

The day of the wedding far exceeded our wildest dreams thanks to the Shing Weddings team. Michelle, Lisa, Eva, and Jon were there to pamper us throughout the day, and we didn't have to lift a finger. The schedule proceeded flawlessly, perfectly on time, and we didn't feel a single moment of stress! The Shing Weddings team made sure we were hydrated, well fed, and well dressed at all times, and they are the primary reason that we were able to kick back and completely enjoy our wedding day with our family and friends. Our guests were blown away by how smoothly the day proceeded, and we got so many compliments for the Shing Weddings team.

If you're thinking of hiring a wedding planner, look no further!! Shing Weddings is one of the best investments we've made, and we cannot recommend Michelle and the entire team strongly enough. Thank you so much for making our wedding the best day ever!

They really are the best!!

We can’t say enough great things about Shing Weddings! From the very first meeting, their team impressed us with their professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail. They took our vision and turned it into reality - maybe even better than we had imagined!

On the day our wedding, everything went flawlessly. The team was super organized, calm, and really on top of everything, which made us feel so relaxed. We felt flow of events and venue was perfectly planned - and do

Shing Weddings is hands down the best! We loved having their awesome energy with us on our big day—it made everything so much more fun!

Just hire Shing Weddings!

Highly highly highly recommend Shing Weddings for your wedding day! We did the full service planning and it was so worth it; we keep ourselves busy (travels, job changes) and are based in NYC so we knew we needed someone we could trust for our 240 person wedding. We didn’t feel stressed during the planning process and always looked forward to our calls with Eva! The vendor selection process went smoothly as we were presented just a few but great options based on their experience. Eva rolled with all of the last minute changes and on the day, we felt so taken care of by Eva, Lisa, Erika, Sarah, and Jon. Our guests kept commenting on the great food (Fairmont Pacific Rim), decor, DJ, quartet, lion dancers, Photo Booth, and how nice our photographers were. I could tell the vendors liked working with Shing Weddings as well! We would change nothing about our wedding day and Eva even stepped into organize our morning after brunch the next day. Just choose Shing Weddings for your day!

Best in the Business

Planning a wedding is never easy, but having Eva, our principal planner, we immediately knew we would be in good hands.

Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts for all your hard work and for making us enjoy our wedding. We could not have done it without Eva, Lisa and the rest of the team. We are truly going to miss the wedding planning process now that it’s over!

Love,
Jessica & Tam

words cannot express my gratitude and appreciation to Lisa and her team for helping me plan, execute, and bring my wedding to life! Eva was also super amazing as well! They TRULY care and I felt this the DAY of my wedding they thought of every single detail before I even had a chance to ask they had it taken care of. The day of, the entire team always checked in on us made sure we had food, was hydrated and looked after our family as well including walk my parents to their Uber! They really listen to what you want and she really takes initiative in planning everything out! They suggested the best vendors and I LOVED dream soda they took my engagement and wedding photos and I’m super grateful for them !

ShingWeddings is a MUST - best of the best!

I first saw Shing Weddings team in action when our friends got married and l was already blown away by the team's efficiency and had never seen a wedding so organized and calm, ever. Having witnessed that, when it came time for my own wedding, l didn't want anyone else to be our wedding planner. Throughout the planning process, Michelle went above and beyond to help us with all our concerns and issues and if our proposed plan for some things sounded ridiculous (like the music with separate audio system from a third party company, no DJ and play music from spotify etc), Michelle would politely and honestly tell us it's probably not a good idea and suggested way better things, which we really appreciate. Not only that, Michelle recommended some vendors for us that were also just as amazing to communicate with as the SW team to help make our day smoother. Every time l tell our other vendors that ShingWeddings is our wedding planner, we would always hear "oh then you do not need to worry at all, Lisa and Michelle are absolutely amazing and are our favorite vendor to work with".

On the wedding day, there was a team of 4 - Lisa/Michelle/Eva/Jon and as soon as they arrived, they got to work right away. We had a problem with the flower arch and Michelle asked what l wanted to do and she told me not to worry, she will oversee to the problem and told me to rest for another 10min before lunch is ready. We had a bit of time so we went to peek at the decor and was going to set up some fairy lights on the guest table and Jon ran over and told us to let him take care of it and we should rest in the lounge downstairs to wait for lunch before things start to get busy for us. To be honest, l think there were probably other little things that the team dealt with that we didn't even know about.

The team (Lisa/Michelle/Eva/Jon) was constantly 3 steps ahead of us, even the tiniest details, like me taking breaks wearing my runners instead of heels during photos. Eva always had my runners near her and l never had to once ask for it and she was also constantly making sure l was hydrated enough. The team also had an earpiece and intercom system between the 4 of them and whenever the 2 of us and my MOH and bestman left their sight even for just a minute, they communicate to each other right away where they are going so they knew exactly where we were in case we were needed somewhere. Just as l'm wondering what's next, Eva or Michelle would tell us right now "A" is happening, in a bit "B" will be next. I had a big extended family so all the group photo sessions would have been a nightmare if we didn't have one of them hurdle the group together, another posing everybody properly then giving our photographer the ok, photographer snaps the pictures, gives us the thumbs up and by then, the team already had the next group ready to go.

There were some extra groups for photos after the ceremony or extra groups we added for the chinese tea ceremony and even with all these changes, the team embraced the changes so calmly and we still stayed right on time and l am still shocked 3 days after the wedding that we weren't delayed and ALL our relatives and guests commented that Shing Weddings' team was very professional. The wedding planning process definitely is part of the value with ShingWeddings but to be able to execute the actual day according to the timeline takes a mastermind, if not mastermindS.

We were so taken care of the second the team arrived and all our parents, relatives and guests were also blown away by your team's efficiency, we cannot thank you enough. I was shocked that we got to sit and rest in between here and there. The day went very smoothly, we will always remember this day as relaxing and enjoyable, not chaotic as we expected our big day to be. You guys have such a tough job and the whole team did such a fabulous job and with such ease, l will absolutely recommend your team to any of my friends that is planning a wedding. Your team was worth every single penny and l am so glad ShingWeddings was part of our day!

Beyond Expectations

We can't say enough great things about Shing Weddings!! Lisa helped us through the entire process and was always receptive to all our crazy ideas and worked with us to make the wedding of our dreams. From our first meeting, Lisa was not only the most friendly and happy of the planners we interviewed, but she also inspired confidence that she can deliver the wedding of our dreams.

Her attention to detail and experience in the wedding industry meant her entire team anticipated and delivered from morning to night. From making boutonnieres when they got lost, to making take home flower arrangements for the guests at the end of the night from our decor, her team went over and above to make the smoothest wedding day possible.
