I would highly recommend Shanna as a wedding planner / coordinator - she and her team excel at what they do! Our wedding was in Sept 2025, and we selected Shanna’s partial planning package. We had several helpful planning meetings throughout the year leading up to the Big Day. Shanna was always professional, on-time, and willing to dig into the details! She put together a timeline that was easy to follow. Although we sourced our vendors -- she took over communication as the event approached and also day-of. Everything flowed seamlessly. When curveballs came up, Shanna was quick to flex and find a solution. Whether it was finding a safety pin, taking things and gifts that guests were handing me, running point with the Emcee or Caterer, Shanna was always nearby to take charge. Her team also managed set-up and strike down for the event. Since she had been part of the planning process since the beginning, the vision was understood and executed well. My wedding also had several cross-cultural and religious elements, and she was definitely able to work to help make them happen. Most importantly, having Shanna allowed the bride to have FUN at the wedding rather than sweat the details. It was a pleasure working with Shanna, no regrets!

A Note from Shanna Lee

As the heart behind Meaningful Experience, I pour my energy, creativity, and care into every couple I work with. This isn’t just a job to me—it’s personal. I believe that every love story deserves to be honored with intention, organization, and beauty. I’m not here to just check boxes; I’m here to walk with you through the emotions, decisions, and moments that matter most.

I give each couple my full attention, honest guidance, and a calm, steady presence—because your wedding day should feel like a reflection of you, not a production you’re managing. My goal is simple: to help you feel confident, supported, and present—so you can soak in every meaningful moment, knowing that I’m taking care of the rest.

You’re not just hiring a planner. You’re gaining a partner who genuinely cares.
