CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

“Where do I begin with J29? From their detailed orientated minds, to their sweet personalities you cannot go wrong with hiring the J29 team for any event you may be throwing! I had the pleasure of working alongside the team while helping plan my sister’s wedding. The wedding was nothing short of incredible! The correspondence with the team leading up to the wedding, the walk through meetings we had, rehearsal practice and the wedding day were incredible, and we owe a lot of that to the J29 team. Thank you J29 for taking the pressure off our family to help make the wedding as perfect as it was! It was truly a pleasure to work alongside you guys, I hope that more opportunities present themselves so we are able to do it again. Cheers!”

“Shauna was incredible to work with. We decided to have a destination wedding, booking everything sight-unseen. Shauna put me at ease throughout the whole process and helped weigh-in and direct me while still allowing my aesthetic to come through. She made the entire wedding a cohesive experience which our guests are STILL raving about and in fact, we have two couples who attended, request our vendor names because they enjoyed the wedding so much. It was the best experience and as someone in the event industry who handles events and different vendor personalities frequently, I do not give my endorsement lightly but Shauna and J29 Events have gone above and beyond & absolutely earned it.”

“We worked with Shauna for our elopement and I can’t say enough how grateful I was to have found her. Shauna was always very responsive and extremely patient with me as the venue and date of the elopement changed many times. Shauna had amazing advice and knew how to coordinate services and the day of so that my husband and I didn’t have any stress. Shauna is professional and organized but truly I was left in awe of her talents with design and decor. She took the hodge podge of decor items that I had bought and transformed them into a cohesive and gorgeous venue and dinner space. Shauna saved the day multiple times and helped me get into my wedding dress. Needless to say I recommend J29 events wholeheartedly!”

“Our wedding would not have happened without the dedication, expertise and LOVE of Shauna and her J29 team. If you want to feel confident going into the biggest day of your life, and then have the best day of your life, hire them.

We worked with Shauna for more than a year planning our dream wedding in the Columbia River Gorge. Her recommended vendors and style guidance was top notch, translating our vision into a reality and helping us think through things we never would have on our own.

But just 6 days before our wedding, the Eagle Creek Wildfire began. Three days later, our venue and the town of Hood River where all of our 100+ guests were going to stay, was at risk of evacuation. Shauna, while juggling two other weddings, mobilized not only her team at J29 Events, but her incredible network of vendors to spin up multiple backup options in case we needed to move everything.

Unfortunately, due to hazardous smoke conditions, we did have to relocate—but fortunately, our backup, lined up and executed by Shauna and her team, ended up being the most incredible wedding ever. In less than one week, she moved heaven and earth to recreate what we had planned for more than a year in a totally different location. Her logistical know-how, reputation, and sheer determination turned a nightmare into an absolute fairy tale. But don’t take our word for it: ALL of our guests have said it’s the best wedding they’ve ever been to... Which is no surprise—it was a J29 wedding.”

“Words cannot express how awesome and hardworking Shauna is at J29 events. I worked with her for over a year (full wedding planning service) and she always went above and beyond. She truly is a visionary and is able to give you your dream wedding that you have stuck in your mind but have no idea how to implement.

She also remembers literally everything. Something small I talked about five months, she will remember and ask me about. So that frantic feeling that you are forgetting something is gone when you are working with her. She also just happens to be an incredibly fun and kind person. I really enjoyed brainstorming ideas together.

Even when things get crazy, she stays incredibly calm and you can definitely count on her. One of my buses broke down that was supposed to transport me and my friends to the venue. She handled it with ease and grace. I could not have asked for a better wedding planner and friend throughout the process. Thank you so much, Shauna!”

“Shauna is the best in the industry, and it’s for reasons far past the usual expectations. She is, of course, as creative, resourceful, organized, diligent and professional as you would expect. But she is also as genuine as they come. She truly cared about our love story and she was a friend during a very stressful process.

We came to Shauna with a venue that was a logistical nightmare and we had a very specific vision for our big day and no idea how to make it all come together.
Like most couples we wanted our wedding day to be unique and a true representation of us. This for us meant we wanted a sentimental, elegant, outdoor, ocean view, redwood tree backdrop, tasty food, awesome music, party all night long wedding. And Shauna made it all happen, and I mean ALL OF IT!

Best of all, Shauna took care of everything the day of. This meant we could be fully present with each other, our family and our friends, and immerse ourselves in the moment.

Words cannot express my gratitude for Shauna. I mean it when I say SHAUNA IS THE BEST! I am confident she can handle any couple and any wedding with grace and ease.”

“Shauna and her team are a group of super talented and extremely detail-oriented designers and planners. Their work is exquisitely designed and perfectly executed. I’ve had the pleasure of photographing some of their beautiful work—everything was accomplished without a hitch and every detail was absolutely gorgeous. If you are looking for a planner who will create and implement your wedding day so that it runs smoothly and beautifully, look no further because you’re in good hands! I’m so looking forward to working with them again in the future!”

“Shauna and the team members at J29 Events are thoughtful, precise, and passionate. The idea of wedding planning was very overwhelming for us (My husband and I are major procrastinators and very unorganized), but Shauna was able to break up the massive process into small achievable steps. Having this structure completely changed our experienced from overwhelming and confusing to positive and exciting. Leading up the the wedding date, her structure allowed us to essentially have all tasks completed weeks before our wedding.

Shauna was able to use her design expertise to create a design board that brought all of our various ideas into one cohesive vision. This then allowed us to begin finding the right vendors to bring that vision to life. Shauna’s vast network of vendors and contacts was amazing and so crucial. She has contacts for each element of the planning process (venue, photography, catering, DJ, florals, videographer, signage, decor, etc) and because of that, we were able to connect with vendors that were in our budget, shared our style, and helped fulfill our vision. Having vendors already know and respect Shauna and J29 Events made for smooth communication and execution. Shauna was able to coordinate with all the various vendors on planing and logistics - a HUGE element that reduced our stress throughout this process. She also provided ways for us to stay within our budget but still include all desired elements of our day. Shauna and J29 Events made our entire wedding process easy and amazing. On our wedding day, Shauna was always two steps ahead of us. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect.”
