La Luz Weddings & Events

After being recommended Shelby by friends, contracting with her was the first (and best) decision we made for planning our wedding. We ended up going with her Month Of Plus+ package. She shared planning timelines for us for the year leading up to our wedding, which were so helpful! Following her checklists made planning on our end so simple. Her vendor recommendations were flawless, as well. Once we hit the 8 week mark, she completely took over. She always referred to us for final decisions, but contacted all of our vendors and arranged everything perfectly. Shelby did everything in her power to keep us as least stressed as possible. On our big day, everything was seamless and so organized. We received so many compliments on how the day flowed so well and on the lack of hiccups. All of this was thanks to Shelby!She is a true master event planner. She is professional, but also warm and funny and kind. She had every minute detail accounted for, and our wedding day was perfect as a result.I am SO glad we hired Shelby to help plan our wedding. I will be forever grateful to her for helping us have the best day ever!

Shelby and her team are fantastic! There are so many details, especially the last couple of days prior to the wedding, it's nerve-racking to think of all the things we would have missed if Shelby had not been our daughter's wedding coordinator. She thought of things we never would have even considered. She was right there whenever we needed her, she and her team took care of everything, flawlessly. She always answered her emails, even after the wedding. They worked seamlessly with the venue and were our trusted source of information. I'll have to think up another event some day and ask her to handle it, too. Thanks, Shelby, you're the best!!Marcie Jordan

Not enough words to express how amazing Shelby and Virginia of La Luz Wedding & Events are. Shelby and team were the wedding coordinator for my daughter/son-in-law's wedding at the Taos Ski Valley on 6/24/23. She was instrumental in guiding Teresa and Evan through the process for the 4-6 weeks before the wedding but absolutely invaluable the entire weekend of the wedding. Not only did she work what I expect to be her normal magic of executing all of the details the bride and groom where hoping for, keeping the bridal party informed and being where they needed to be when they needed to be there all the while keeping them calm and happy, but she also had to contend with extreme unexpected hitches including loss of electricity, loss of cell/text capabilities and at one point, loss of water (not to mention dealing with both mothers of the bride and groom). Aside from the electricity going out while the bridal party was getting ready, my daughter and the bridal party had no idea about all of the other issues going on, demonstrating what an amazing professional Shelby and her team are!Shelby also, not only assured the bridal party was fully and lovingly taken care of through each detail of the weekend, but she continuously checked in with the parents of the bride and groom asking what she could do for us. She coordinated all of the venders and assured the last payments/tips were passed onto the vendors so the families/bridal party did not need to worry about anything during the weekend, and she worked seamlessly with the venue coordinator. And all of this was completed with a smile and feeling of calmness the entire time! What a true professional as well as amazing person!Shelby, you and La Luz Wedding & Events are a true gem and I am so very grateful to you for making Teresa and Evan's day so perfectly amazing!With gratitude,Sharon Inzano
