Chelsea M. Sent on 12/31/2023The greatest investment!
Wedding planning was immediately overwhelming for me, and finding Shay + Harken Event Company was the greatest blessing. A support system was immediately in place that enabled me to keep my sanity + provide me the structure to maintain a healthy progressive timeline throughout the entire planning process.
The day of was an absolute breeze, Shay and her team's experience really showed, and she was prepared for anything! (Which I did test, like spraining my ankle at my reception)
My wedding was beautiful, and it never would have come together like it did without Harken Event Co. Not only did Shay make the day run as smoothly as possible, but she also helped so incredibly much with the details. I procrastinated too much on my signs for the day of, and she took care of it all! Walking around, taking in all of the decor I didn't have to worry about setting up, such a dream. Truly, the best thing I ever did was hire Harken Event Co! 11/10 -

May R. Sent on 12/29/2023Harken Events & Shay, the key to your stress-free dream wedding
From the first day we started planning our wedding, we knew we wanted a coordinator to help make the day stress-free — but we couldn't have anticipated just how invaluable Shay, our wedding coordinator from Harken Events, would be in making our dream a reality. Investing $3,000 in her services was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.
Shay's role extended far beyond what we expected from a so-called "month of" wedding coordinator. Starting from about three months out, Shay became our go-to person for everything wedding related. Her responses to our emails were extremely quick, and our regular Zoom meetings were always productive and reassuring, no matter what challenges or complications we brought to her. Shay's presence at all the final vendor meetings leading up to the wedding also turned out to be critical, as she was able to clarify and correct numerous details that we surely would have missed without her meticulous efforts.
The documents and plans Shay put together for our wedding were also extremely helpful. She crafted a detailed timeline for our day, organized all the logistical aspects with our vendors seamlessly, and helped us put together our perfect ceremony. Shay was great at incorporating all the unconventional touches and personal preferences we expressed to her, but also offered gentle guidance in areas where we were confused or uncertain.
On the day of our wedding, we were able to immerse ourselves fully in the joy and love of the occasion, knowing that Shay had everything under control. Her execution was perfect, and it allowed us to enjoy our special day without any stress or worry. She was somehow able to be everywhere at once, all while stepping into the background and remaining practically invisible to guests. Her attentions on the day even extended to picking up a lunch order for our wedding party while we were all getting ready, so that no one else has to miss even a minute.
As you can probably tell, Harken Events was a pivotal part of making our wedding a success. Shay's dedication, skill, and passion for her work were evident in every interaction we had with her, and it shone through in making our wedding day feel truly magical. If you're looking for a coordinator, or even if you aren't sure you need one, you should reach out to Shay and Harken Events right now. You will not regret putting your wedding day into their incredibly capable hands! -

Shay is a rockstar. Not only did I enjoy our entire planning process by working with her but the way she handled a situation for us is worth more than gold! Our photographer was two hours late (even though Shay had a detailed timeline he was given) She handled that disaster with grace and professionalism. She kept the flow going for my husband and I. Her team did a beautiful job at the venue decorating and clean up!! Thank you Shay, I would get married again to hire you again! Thank you!! -

I truly do not have enough words to describe how incredible Shay was to work with. She made the entire planning process so much smoother and easier. Her knowledge and organizational skills are unmatched. Seriously! She did not miss a single detail of things we asked for. And on top of it all, she managed to juggle all of our crazy family dynamics and truly plan the perfect wedding weekend for us.
Throughout the whole planning process she was thorough and hard working, extremely communicative, and a comforting and reassuring mediator. On the wedding day, she never stopped moving. My husband and I work on movies and we joked all day that we felt like Shay was our director on set. She made sure everything happened that we asked for and never missed a beat.
I truly feel blessed that we found Shay. I know our wedding day was 10x better than it would have ever been had we not hired her. She is the most diligent, thoughtful, and kind person. I will be forever grateful for her help in planning our big day. -

I was on the fence about needing a planner and on-site coordinator, but Shay turned out to be the best decision! She was such an amazing help with details and planning leading up to our wedding and even did a site visit for us (we’re out of state) and put together an entire packet of the layout and different areas to get ready, take pictures, etc. She was a direct line for all of our vendors, which took so much stress off of us before and during our wedding. Shay and her assistant also added so much value on the day of, with managing discussions with the band when the set list went in a direction we hadn’t discussed, setting up decor (which they even helped source!), providing extra cups when the bar ran out, down to the small details like helping get makeup off my husband’s suit before taking pictures. I would choose Shay and her team a million times over, book her!! -

I can’t even begin to describe how thankful I am for Shay & Harken events! Shay is amazing and absolutely went above and beyond to make my decor visions come to life. I began working with her in the beginning of the year in January, but then with COVID-19 we were undecided on what to do for awhile. Once we decided on a smaller backyard wedding only about a month before the date, Shay and I picked back up and she truly made the last minute planning way less stressful. I wouldn’t of been able to pull it off without her. I’m adding a few photos of the decor I currently have, but can’t wait to see all the professional pictures. Thank you for everything Shay! You most definitely helped make my wedding one to remember forever! -

Planning a wedding involves so many details that can be challenging at times for a bride. So I reached out to Harken Events a few months before my wedding because I needed help coordinating our big day. My now-husband and I met with Shay, and within the first 5 minutes of discussing our wedding, I knew we were in good hands, and my mind was at ease after the meeting. Shay had great suggestions and ideas, was very organized, and I could tell she has a lot of experience planning events and weddings.
My husband and I were among the many couples that had to postpone our wedding due to COVID. I was beyond stressed, and Shay went above and beyond reaching out to vendors, and she was exceptional at following up and checking in with everyone.
I highly recommend Harken Events! Not only for their professionalism but for their caring team, too!

If you want someone who knows what they're doing when it comes to event planning, this company will work wonders for you. From offering up a variety of options from their own array of decorations, to putting the decorations together for you, to being onsite at the event to provide back-end help without ever knowing they are there so things run smoothly, then this is the company you want to have at your event. -
