raves
TO MY CLIENTS
I have been fortunate to work with clients who keep me excited about what I do. They are ideal in that they had a wedding that was true to who they are as a couple, incorporating all the elements in their wedding that represented them and overall they were a ton of fun.
Some of the highlights for me have been a wedding that was based around a Kenyan Safari that took place at the African Lion’s Safari in Cambridge. Along with elephants and a chance for the guests to go on a safari ride, there were also African dancers and incredible food.
One of my first events took place just outside Peggy’s Cove, Nova Scotia. As a weekend event it drew people from long distances to come celebrate with the bride and groom. They were a genuine couple, with wonderful friends. There was lots of love and the most stunning of backdrops as they were married right by the ocean.
These weddings along with many others that I have had to privilege to coordinate are what make what I do fulfilling. Thanks and best wishes to all my clients!

We never doubted for a second that having Shelley at the wedding was the best decision we made! As the wedding drew nearer, all the little logistical details started to get overwhelming. As the stress was mounting, we realized that Shelley was going to do all those things!! We could relax knowing that everything would get set up properly at the reception, and no friends or family would have to spend their day doing anything except get ready for the wedding.
Shelley kept track of the schedule the whole night, reminding us when it was time for speeches, cake cutting, and the first dance. It was an unbelievable relief to sit down to our dinner and not worry about a thing. On top of all that, we could rest assured that no matter which table we put Shelley at, our guests would have fun because she is such a delight.
Thank you Shelley for everything…we couldn’t have done it without you!

Overall, our wedding day held at the African Lion Safari was a phenomenal success, a party like no other our friends and family have ever been to… one that they raved about for weeks after the big day… and we could not have pulled it off without the help and expertise of Shell Design Weddings!

After the first five minutes of knowing Shelley, we knew we wanted to hire her to coordinate our wedding day. She is professional, detail-orientated and extremely organized. Seeing her wedding SOS kit won us over immediately. Shelley was very knowledgeable about local vendors and was the one who recommended our venue to us. She strove to understand the vision we had for our wedding and worked very hard to help us achieve what we wanted.
Our wedding involved many different vendors and Shelley took care of everything and made sure we didn’t have to worry about anything on our wedding day. As a result, our wedding flowed seamlessly and was enjoyable (and stress-free) for us and all our guests.
We wouldn’t have been able to have the day we wanted without her help. Thank you, Shelley, for loving what you do and for all your hard work.

Shelley,
Thank you for making our dream wedding come true. You really helped us out with the reception. We didn’t know what to do with speeches and what order certain people should speak, but you looked after everything perfectly. The decorating was beautiful and everything was stress free.
Thank you again Shelley. We love you very much.

Shelley,
We want to thank you so much for all of your support and great ideas that helped to make our day absolutely perfect. It would not have come together so smoothly and beautifully without your assistance. There was a peace of mind that came with having you there right from the start, and in the end, the weekend of our wedding was completely stress-free (imagine that!). We were able to relax and truly celebrate our special time with family and friends. That is exactly what we dreamed our wedding would be and it would not have happened without you. Thank you for your part in making our dreams come true!
