PEAR Planning

Shannon Loch is the genius behind PEAR Planning — and she is just wonderful. While this review is much overdue (we were married in May), it is in no means a measure of how great a job Shannon does. Shannon met with us after a disastrous experience with our first wedding planner. She quickly picked up the pieces of our scattered wedding, made everything cohesive, and went out of her way to make the day perfect. Neither my husband nor I are into event planning or details, and Shannon sat with us every step of the way — from the flowers, to the hall décor, to literally where to set up the DJ — to make sure we understood the process, understood the value (in money, time, and resources), and were completely happy with our choices. While she does not make choices for you, she does have this knack for understanding who you are and what your vision is and can often guide you to options that are perfect for your event. Not to mention, her roster of contacts is impressive and she comes very highly recommended from many, many vendors.
On the day of the wedding, Shannon is worth every penny — she was a tour de force. She managed to make me feel calm, put together, and in control of everything going on. She made my groom feel confident, and even more difficult, made our parents feel comfortable, feel like an important part of the wedding, and confident in how everything would play out. She managed every detail so my groom and I didn’t have to think about anything outside of our special day. I would recommend her without any reservations — you’d be in fantastic hands with PEAR Planning.

Shannon and her team were amazing from start to finish! Easy to communicate with, everything was clear from the start, leaving me with no questions and no doubt in my mind that everything would go off smoothly.
The event was absolutely stunning and a huge success!
I absolutely hope to work with them again in the future!
