Meet the owner

Meet Shari Nesbit, a wedding and events planner driven by her love for creating lasting memories. Faith and family are at the core of Shari’s life, and you will experience her love for others, her gentleness, and confidence as she juggles the many tasks in event planning.

Shari has always found great joy in gathering people together and hosting parties. Her journey into event planning began in 2015 when she helped plan her daughter’s wedding. Friends soon began inquiring about helping with their events and before long found she had a passion for helping others create memories that are cherished for years to come.

When she's not busy throwing a good party, Shari loves to indulge in her hobbies – exploring new destinations, soaking up the sun on the beach with a good book in hand, or spending quality time with her family and adorable grand-babies, whom she affectionately refers to as the cutest EVER!!

Love Notes

  • "Shari was the biggest blessing for our wedding day! We had no idea where to start planning a ceremony and party for 325 guests. Shari took charge of the big picture planning and organization, as well as the many small details I never would have thought of (or had any capacity to think of). Her authoritative, reliable, and calming presence before and during our wedding day will never be forgotten. We can’t recommend her enough."

    MIKAYLA ALLENDER

  • "We wanted our daughter’s wedding to be an authentic expression of gratitude for the Lord’s blessing AND a celebration of this marriage. But all the practical logistics threatened my joy and sanity. Shari even asked for a list of close friends and family who were willing to pitch in! She acted as "command central." My daughter and I were free to fully embrace the moment, resting in complete confidence that everything was taken care of. We love Shari and would never plan another wedding without her!"

    PAULA OSBORN

  • “Shari was a highlight of our wedding and the planning process. She made it easy and fun to plan a wedding—no easy feat! Shari's bright smile, encouragement, and organization helped to make our wedding the most perfect day. She made me feel like my wedding was the most important thing to her. She is peace in the midst of the beautiful chaos of a wedding.”
