 5 Star Review- posted 7/19/2018 by Amanda K (updated 7/20/2018) on The Knot.com

My husband and I highly recommend using Shari. We utilized her for full service wedding planning. From the start she was thorough, professional, experienced, and very affordable. We received quotes from other wedding planners in the area that offered pretty much the same services and Events by Wise was much more reasonable. Shari has connections with local vendors including caterers, event rental companies, DJs, photographers, and wedding cake designers whom she has built a report. Shari also has a plethora of wedding décor that she offers to her customers to use at their wedding! Again, my husband and I highly recommend using Events by Wise if your looking for wedding planning services!!

Overwhelmed with gratitude... Shari Wise of Events by Wise. Thank you for turning our dreams of a perfect wedding into reality. The entire day went seamlessly and we were able to relax and just enjoy the day! You and your team were so much fun to work with. I didn’t have to worry about a single thing during the rehearsal as you ran everything and I was able to take in the moment. You also managed our entire bridal party with kindness and respect. So very grateful to you and I will always refer anyone to you!!!!

Shari was the coordinator for my daughters wedding on April 28th and we could not have been happier with her services. She was always available to answer any questions and offer good advice on any wedding subject. We purchased her Month of Wedding package and Shari took over all planning duties one month before the actual wedding, making sure all vendors knew where to be and at what time on the day of the wedding. Shari's contacts in the wedding industry were also very helpful in securing the services of other vendors as well as getting us additional discounts on their services when applicable. Shari's organizational skills and experience are what kept us on schedule and able to take care of each task timely so nothing was forgotten or left to chance. She was able to coordinate everything for the rehearsal as well as the wedding day. Shari and her staff took care of all vendors so our family only needed to enjoy what became a very special day for our family. Any Bride would be luck to have Shari and her staff take care of them on their wedding day as well.

This review is long overdue but still so well deserved! Shari and her team executed my attempts of being a DIY bride beautifully. My husband and I are pretty laid back and had some non-traditional wedding plans set out and Shari embraced all of our ideas, executing them to a T, all from across the country (we live in MD but had our wedding in Woodland)! Our wedding day was flawless (truly). I could not recommend Events by Wise enough and even enjoy following them on Insta to see all of the beautiful events they are a part of.

5 Star Review from Mark on Yelp 9/24/2017
This weekend, I had the pleasure of attending a beautiful Quinceañera. It was extremely thought out and it was wonderful to speak with the mother of the Guest of Honor who gave such high recognition to the event planner. She stated that the vision she had for this "once in a lifetime experience" was created by Events by Wise. As a guest of an event that was just so beautiful, it was nice to hear that an Event Coordinator was so diverse in her plannings. She not only specialized in Wedding coordination but specializes in ALL events that people request. I have been to quite a bit of weddings and Shari was the first coordinator that I saw that was along side her staff helping them. She wasn't just standing around, watching people or directing staff, or the vendors but she was BUSSING tables, picking up trash, organizing the dances, scrapping food of the plates, taking trash out. It was so nice to see an owner of a business helping staff. Shari was so attentive to the guests and their needs throughout the entire event to include before and after care. When there was a delay for the dinner to start, Events By Wise owner quickly rearranged the itinerary to accommodate the Guest of Honor, family, & guests to ensure that the event ran smoothly and that the other vendors there were not off schedule & the parents got their money's worth from every vendor. Shari Wise was cool and calm under pressure, made smart decisions on the fly, & kept the parents at ease. Overall, I am extremely impressed with Events By Wise and highly recommend them for any and events needed. I will definitely be calling Shari for our upcoming events!

Alisha - Shari and her daughter Dani coordinated my daughter's wedding at the Yolanda Ranch on 8/6/16 and did an awesome job! The day went as smooth as we hoped for and they kept us on track and on time! I don't know how we would have done it without them!

Carol - Shari Wise was our wedding day coordinator for my daughter's wedding on May 28, 2011. This was planned as an outdoor event. "Events by Wise" coordinated the rehearsal and wedding ceremony, and helped in decorating for the reception. For the buffet dinner, they provided staff to bus the tables since we didn't have a full service caterer. They also provided parking attendants, child care for the kid's activity table, and road signs. The outdoor reception turned indoors when an unexpected storm came through 3 1/2 hours prior to the wedding ceremony. Shari took charge and had her crew and a group of family and friends move the entire reception indoors. This included over 30 tables, linens, glassware, vases, candles, etc., into the groom's parents car showroom. This meant the showroom has to be quickly emptied of up to 18 vehicles. "Events by Wise" did an wonderful job. Shari went beyond  what she was being paid for. I highly recommend them for any event you are planning. They were organized, efficient and courteous. They will do an excellent job for you
