FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS
WHEN SHOULD I HIRE A WEDDING PLANNER?
Most couples hire a wedding planner 12–18 months before their wedding day, especially if they want support with vendor selection, design direction, and overall organization. However, we also work with couples at many stages of planning and can step in wherever guidance is needed most.
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FULL PLANNING & EVENT MANAGEMENT?
Full planning means we guide you through the entire planning process — from vendor recommendations and design decisions to timelines and logistics. Event management focuses on executing plans you’ve already made, ensuring everything runs smoothly in the final weeks and on the wedding day itself.
DO YOU ONLY PLAN RICHMOND BASED WEDDINGS?
While we are based in Richmond, VA, we plan weddings throughout Virginia and surrounding areas. We frequently work at venues across Central Virginia and are happy to travel for celebrations that align with our couples and planning style.
DO YOU HAVE PREFERRED VENDORS YOU LIKE WORKING WITH?
Yes — after years of planning weddings in the Richmond area, we’ve built trusted relationships with talented vendors we know and love. We provide recommendations tailored to your style, priorities, and budget while always supporting your freedom to choose the team that feels right to you.
WHAT MAKES SHELBY LYNN EVENTS DIFFERENT?
We combine thoughtful guidance with a calm, organized approach that helps couples feel confident throughout the planning process. Our focus is not only creating a beautiful wedding day, but also ensuring you genuinely enjoy the experience leading up to it.
WHAT DOES A WEDDING PLANNER ACTUALLY DO ON THE WEDDING DAY?
I'm so glad you asked! We manage timelines, oversee vendors, coordinate setup, troubleshoot behind the scenes, and ensure everything flows smoothly — allowing you, your family, and your wedding party to fully enjoy the day without worrying about logistics.
