Peacock + Papaya

Our wedding ceremony was planned by WeddingsByShan.com and we experienced a personable wedding planner in Ms. Khleif, who removed all the stress of our wedding planning by taking care of every aspect of the wedding to include vendor arraignments, service provider options, a wedding checklist and structured timeline. We found Shantel to be exceptionally easy to communicate with who offered help at every turn, listened to our concerns, was friendly and caring toward us, and a pleasure to work with. All vendor arraignments and special wedding planning was on a detailed schedule wedding planner checklist so that all our required activities were made known to us well in advance and met in a timely manor which was planned well within our busy schedule prior to the wedding ceremony. The wedding ceremony (a choice of several wedding packages) was conducted on the Spirit of Chicago cruise ship, with a staff that treated us like celebrities, under a sunny Chicago sky, on the beautiful waters of Lake Michigan which made the wedding a unique and memorable occasion for us. We will certainly be using the services of WeddingsByShan for all of our event planning in Chicago in the near future. Larry & Belle Mastel P.S. Shan was able to deliver well below our allowed wedding budget by negotiating the best deals with vendors and suppliers. We could not have been happier!

You can't imagine how many things you have to deal with to have your dreamed wedding until the day of your own. The most worth money I spent on my wedding was what I paid to Shantel as my wedding planner. She is creative, responsible, organized, professional... Neither my husband nor I is living in Chicago but we had our wedding there with Shantel's help. I had very tight time (2 months) and budget to plan my wedding but Shantel did it for me. She found great places for our ceremony and reception. All our guests were amazed not only by the places but also the services and food. I am also very satisfied with all other venders she found for me. The most important thing is that they are all within my tight budget. It was also very comfortable to work with Shantel. She is so sweet and flexible. She definitely respects to your opinions but also gives you ideas when you need it. We worked like a team to make my dreamed wedding become true. There are so many great things with Shantel. Thank you, thank you Shantel. My wedding wouldn't be so great without you.
