Our Reviews
Posted on Google Stephanie Nelson26 May 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Planning a surprise birthday weekend for my husband in Bend and quickly realized I was in over my head. Partnering with Leann and Shine Events was the smartest thing I could do! Leann’s deep relationships with local and regional vendors, her attention to detail, her responsiveness, and her calm and relaxed demeanor meant that not only was I not stressed in the lead up to the party - I was actually able to enjoy my own event! Highly recommend Leann and her team - and don’t forget to make use of Jill, her in house florist who put together stunning and affordable arrangements our guests are still talking about. Thank you so much Shine Events!!!Posted on Google Pieter van den Berg20 August 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Leann assisted with the planning and execution of our charity gala. Thanks to her connections and expertise she was able to handle much of the minutia leading up to the event and the day of organizing, allowing me to focus on the big picture, donor and sponsor relations, etc. She was a huge help and played a big role in making it our most successful gala ever!Posted on Google Marianne Cox20 August 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We hired Leann to help us with our gala for my non profit Street Dog Hero. We had never used an event planner before but boy was it worth the money. She was so communicative, responsive, helpful thru the entire process and honestly fit right in as one of our team members. She offered many suggestions (that we used) and had contacts we didn’t have that we were able to use as well. Day of event was stress free allowing my team to relax and get ready for the evening vs working and stressing all day till r guests arrived. Thank you Leann. 5 star service from beg to end and will def use again!Posted on Google Lauren Minet29 June 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We absolutely ADORED working with Leann. She was everything we could have wanted in a coordinator- calm, professional, knowledgeable, experienced, the list goes on. Our one and only regret in hiring Shine events is that we only hired Leann for the Month of Coordination package and didn't go with the full wedding planning package. Had we known then what we know now- we would have 100% had Leann plan the full wedding. The value she brings is priceless. She made us feel completely at ease. We knew without a doubt that she had everything under control. I cannot recommend Leann highly enough!Posted on Google Addi Mercer14 June 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Leann was such a gift!! We had all our vendors and just needed help coordinating all the little moving pieces leading up to the day. She made it so easy for us and took care of all the check boxes. She was present and helpful the day of but also blended into the background - to our knowledge nothing went wrong, and if it did we had no idea! The ideal wedding planner! Jill, the in house florist, also did a terrific job creating beautiful arrangements from a very vague vision direction from me haha. Would recommend to anyone!Posted on Google Peter Wright12 April 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Can't say enough about the great experience LeeAnne provided at Shine Events. As our wedding planner, she did a terrific job. We relied on her in so many ways and she delivered on all of that. Most importantly, LeeAnne brough a calmness to the planning process that was much needed and appreciated. We highly recommend LeeAnne for your event.Posted on Google Will Zolna21 March 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Leann and her team for our wedding was such an enjoyable and easy experience. Not only did she keep us organized and on track during the planning process, she was able to recommend preferred local vendors which was important since we live out of town. Thanks to Shine's strong relationships with area businesses, we were even able to create some unique experiences for the wedding itself and our guests. We had unique vision for what we wanted for our wedding, and Leann and her team hit it out of the park! Planning a wedding from far away can be a challenge, and Leann was always available to help and answer questions - we just never felt stressed in the weeks leading up to the wedding because we felt so at ease with Shine's services and professionalism. Our wedding day went off without a hitch with Shine handling every detail for us, so that we could just enjoy the day and the ceremony and reception. Without question we'd work with Shine for another event in Bend!Posted on Google Maureen Quinn5 August 2022Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Leann has stuck with us through covid cancellations, changes and finally the beautiful event. We thank you so much for your hard work, the attention you paid to the details and working seamlessly behind the scenes. You will not find anyone better than Leann.Posted on Google Kyeli Quinn14 March 2021Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We started planning our dream wedding in January of 2019, and were quickly overwhelmed by the balancing act of navigating so many vendors and details! While we had been able to take on the early stages of planning ourselves, we wanted to bring in a professional for at least the day-of, so we could enjoy every moment of the wedding with our loved ones, stress-free. We sought out Leann's services in July of that year, with the intention that she would be our "Day-Of" coordinator for our July 2020 wedding. Fast forward to March 2020, and everything changed. To say that Leann has gone above and beyond would be an understatement. While a certain level of stress can be expected with wedding planning, the events of the past year have been, and continue to be extraordinarily difficult. Leann has been with us every step of the way during this unprecedented chapter. When we made the decision to postpone, Leann handled every detail, with professionalism and proficiency. She contacted every vendor, including our venue, and reported back to us so we could make informed decisions, without the overwhelm of the back and forth correspondence. This speaks to her organized, detail-oriented nature, and creative approach to problem solving that we have experienced. To every meeting, Leann has brought savvy expertise, guidance, compassion, empathy, and most valued, a sense of calm. She validates every feeling, answers every question, and truly understands our needs. My fiancé and I have now made the difficult decision to postpone our wedding again. While this has resulted in personal feelings of disappointment and heartache, Leann has never let us lose sight of our "why". She is there to remind us that our day WILL happen, and WILL be filled with the joy, excitement, and fun that we have always envisioned. And, once again, she has taken care of every behind the scenes detail. Throughout this process - Leann has taken the time to get to know my fiancé and I, and our families, and leads every meeting with our wishes, hopes, and dreams at the center. She has been both a listening ear and a steadfast advocate. Leann truly cares about her clients, and you feel this every step of the way. We truly cannot recommend Leann and her team at Shine Events enough - this was by far the best decision we could have made (aside from the day that we FINALLY get to say “I Do” 😊).Posted on Google r e3 March 2021Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have been working with the everysteady Leann for a year and a half now. It has been particularly challenging planning for a wedding in these strange times we find ourselves in. There has been a great need for pivots, plan b's, plan c's, etc. Throughout every step - forwards, sideways and sometimes backwards, Leann has been right there with us, bringing her never-ending patience, optimism and professionalism. She has gone above and beyond to help navigate us through these unprecedented times and we trust her wholly and implicitly to see our wedding vision through, down to the minute details, for our special day. Thank you, Leann for being such a solid rock during this craziness. We're so blessed to have you leading our team. The Eastland-Quinn families so appreciate you..!!
