Shauna was amazing from the beginning to the end of our wedding reception. She was very attentive to our needs and her level of professionalism exceeded our expectations. We enjoyed our wedding reception, which was very important to my wife and I. Highly recommended!

Reviews
Shauna and her team were AMAZING!!! We hired them for day of coordination and it would not have gone so well without them! Communication was on point, they kept us on track and made sure all our DIY decor was set up nicely. They know what they are doing!!!A lot of our nerves were gone because we knew they had everything covered as far as the day of timeline ,set up and vendor arrival . They even made our plates when it was time to eat and made sure we ate without being disturbed. BEST COORDINATOR EVER !!
Shauna delivered the most amazing work in decorating our wedding and helping with everything. She’s an absolute angel and I highly recommend her to anyone who’s looking for help for their wedding.
Absolutely beautiful and peaceful wedding! Shauna and her team went above and beyond to ensure that our wedding went smoothly, capture the spirit of us, and take care of us. She was always professional and responsive. We LOVED our wedding and are so blessed we found BrideToBe to coordinate an the pieces so we could focus on enjoying our time.
I would first like to say we absolutely loved our Coordinator for the day, Carrie. She was fantastic! That being said- while nothing disastrous happened, and overall we had a great experience, there are a few areas that I think could have been improved on: 1. Pre-wedding communication. We were told that we would have lots of conversations and access to our coordinator 6 weeks from our wedding. around 4 weeks before, I sent a reminder email asking what the next steps were since we were getting close. After that, the communication was ok, but the back and forth discussion of decorations etc was a bit slower than I had hoped. Also, we were under the impression that the main coordinator (Shaunna) would be at the wedding. We talked about several aspects of the wedding (including mentioning that she and her asst should hang out and dance w everyone and have fun. She said that Carrie probably wouldn't but she sometimes likes to stay and dance), and all details with our decorations (I designed everything myself so I was a bit nervous in how everything would be laid out) went directly through Shaunna. If I had known it would be just Carrie (and a second assistant), I would have made a point to reach out to her directly. Not that big of deal, but a bit stressful showing up at the Rehearsal and noticing that some of the communication got mixed up a bit and Carrie was trying her best to get everything sorted from her notes. 2. Day of communication. The decorations turned out beautifully! Carrie really paid attention to everything we talked about and showed her during the rehearsal. We were super excited with everything decoration wise. The issue came with the music. We were lined up for our intros and the second assistant came back and asked what songs we were having. We had already provided that information that was supposed to be relayed to the DJ, but we went ahead and confirmed the songs, the order, and the names of the party, right before going in. It ended up getting all out of whack and the bridal party came in on the Brides song, the Bridesmen were introduced as the bridesmaids, and the Brides weren't introduced correctly so it was just a bit confusing. This also happened with our walk down songs as it was given to the DJ backwards on the sheet. It was all fine, and it didn't stop everyone from having a blast, it was just a bit frustrating in the moment. Also, the 2nd assistant, while very very sweet, didn't seem to have much experience/knowledge of what was going on so we felt most comfortable working specifically with Carrie, which may have felt like more work for her on her end and we feel badly about that. 3. Payment. This was a bit tricky. And again, this is more of a heads up to help other customers in the future! You do not have to submit your payment until the day before your wedding. Just remember that the day before is extremely hectic, especially if you have a lot of friends and family flying in and are having a rehearsal/rehearsal dinner. We did not get our invoice until that afternoon and totally missed it. I then saw around midnight that the invoice had been updated because it was late and it was an additional $250. I was a little confused, and mentioned that in the morning, and basically got a "this is per contract and without payment we cannot continue service". So, I paid it with the additional cost. Again, this is in the contract, but I think having the invoice sent a week ahead to give people the option to pay early, would be a bit more transparent. The was the last thing our coordinator said to us. Every other vendor we've had reached out for a follow up after the event and so it feels a bit impersonal, but again, that's just our perspective. Overall, our wedding was successful. There were a few things that could have been tweaked, but we had a great day. This review is mostly just a reminder to make sure you are on top of your contract and are vocal with your concerns/questions. Talk with Shaunna early on if you are assuming she will be there day of, so that you can clear that up right away. Email right at the 6 week mark if you want to take advantage of your full 6 weeks. And, set a reminder alarm the day before your wedding to check your email for your invoice so you don't end up with a late fee of $250. Also, make sure to go over the details of your song choices, walk down order etc in full detail at the rehearsal and also make sure that your DJ is in the loop! I will say, Shaunas personality and energy is infectious and Carrie is an absolute rock star! I would recommend them for sure, just thought I'd share some tips to help future Brides/grooms:) Thank you!
Shauna & team, Wow! Thank you for all of the hard work and support in making our wedding a dream come true!! Your attention to detail was so on point and being available all hours for me even when I got on your nerves lol, your patience under pressure was amazing.

My guests are still raving about how wonderful it was an that is all thanks to you and the venue for making it a memorable moment in our life..

B2B was amazing! Shauna made sure the event will go smooth and everything was taken care of. Shauna and her team were responsive and very helpful. I will 100% hire her again and will recommend B2B! As a bride, that really made sure to keep me relaxed on the day of the wedding! She is great with any emergency that may happen. Thank you, Shauna!!!
Shauna and her team were phenomenal from beginning to end. She alone was so thoughtful, super professional, & patient. Her level of expertise was apparent in our initial conversation. I'm so grateful for her helpfulness, she even helped me get alast minute hair stylist and makeup artist in the same week my wedding was about to happen. I had some family drama and Shauna surely came through for me. The professionals she found were very affordable for my wedding. I can't say enough good things about Shauna and her team. Shout out to Cassandra and Cassie, they were excellent to work with. Whoever the next bride is, she won't be disappointed, instead all her needs will be met with this team!!! -Sherita Sparrow
