St. Louis Wedding Consultants

Do you really need a wedding coordinator? That’s the question I kept asking myself as my wedding day was slowly approaching. I mean c’mon I had basically picked all of my vendors, I was a planning machine and had most of my ducks in a row, what more could a weekend planner provide?! As I went back and forth on whether to book a planner and time began to run out I finally figured I might as well be safe rather than sorry. So, after much research and after speaking with my other vendors (who highly recommended Shayna Laiderman) I hired St. Louis Wedding Consultants. My expectation was that Shayna would be there as a “just in case” person if anything were to go wrong so that I wouldn’t have to deal with any last minute hassles. I never expected the level of service that Shayna brought. Hands down the BEST money I spent throughout this entire wedding was on hiring St. Louis Wedding Consultants. I had no idea how valuable having Shayna there would be. I literally could not have done it without her. Shayna and I spoke in the few weeks heading up to the wedding. She called all of my vendors and confirmed arrival times, she made a detailed timeline for the entire wedding weekend including the golf outing for the boys, nail appointments for the girls, hair and makeup times, lunch times, the entire reception timeline with first dance, all the toasts, wedding party intro’s, you name it she covered it. Shayna conducted the rehearsal the day before the wedding and I knew then that I was in good hands! I had to ask for NOTHING the day of the wedding. EVERYTHING was done for me, even things that I never thought of. Shayna and her assistant were so on the ball it was ridiculous. They arrived early to the hotel, kept everyone on schedule – including my groom and the groomsmen which were all but clueless. Nothing was left unattended to and no detail was forgotten. Shayna took my placecards, programs, table numbers, wedding favors, etc…and went early to both the reception site and ceremony site and made sure that everything was in its place and properly set up. Shayna calmed my nerves and made me feel so comfortable before the ceremony. She got everyone lined up cued the musicians and the officiant, fixed my dress, tacked down the runner, lined up the groomsmen, and the list goes on and on. Once we got to the reception Shayna continued to keep everything on schedule, she checked with me several times to make sure that everything was to my liking. My parent’s car was packed with gifts, guestbook, my veil, cake top, etc…during the reception without anyone asking. My groom, my in-laws, my parents, and the entire wedding party all complimented Shayna and how much work she put into making sure everything ran smoothly. I seriously cannot stress enough how much Shayna was crucial element of my wedding going perfectly. She was fun, professional, efficient and covered all the bases. I actually miss her. I would stress to any bride the importance of hiring a planner even if just for the weekend!! I would 100%, without a doubt recommend St. Louis Wedding Consultants. In fact I wish Shayna could come home with me and plan my life after the wedding 

Shayna did so much, from beginning to end, to make our daughters wedding something she will always remember.

Everything went as planned, and the job was done well, just at times I felt as if the wedding planner was going through the motions rather than fawning over us.

Everything was so amazing! There is no way my wedding day would have even happened without Shayna. I couldn't be more pleased with the way everything turned out. I had some ideas of how I wanted things to look and Shayna made it happen even better than I could have imagined. I would definitely recommend St. Louis Wedding Consultants to anyone getting married!!

Every mother-of-the-bride needs a "mother-of-the-bride", and for me, Shayna was perfect! She was the person I could turn to and lean on for all the little things that "pop-up". It was wonderful having her to rely on. She was always concerned that things were going the way we planned. She was truly a delight to work with!

Stellar! Hire Shayna! 100% service!

As promised, Shayna provided a stress-free wedding day. She recommended incredible vendors and had great ideas for everything from the schedule to favors and quickly and brilliantly solved several last-minute minor snafus (inevitable at any wedding.) Shayna is very flexible, very calm and humorous in the face of stress. Only issues: over the course of the year we worked with her we never really felt like a priority. We know that wedding planners are often working on dozens of weddings at a time, but it's essential to make every couple feel special, to make them feel like their wedding is one in a million (even if it's a bit of a lie.) Some questions and concerns also went unanswered, and we wish we could have had a better idea of how the planning process would work (when/if we'd get a day-of schedule for our wedding party, etc.) Perhaps providing couples with more written materials/information would be beneficial. But overall, Shayna was a great help to us. We really don't know what we would have done without her! And our wedding was incredible from start to finish.

Shayna is very professional and her attention to detail is unparalleled. She really knew what areas to focus on and saved us a lot of time in finding vendors. We couldn't have done it without her!

Shanya did a great job -- was responsive to our ideas and very good at planning.

They provided a worry free day and would recomend them for your wedding day!
