When should we hire a wedding or event planner?

We recommend reaching out as early as possible, especially for weddings and large-scale events in Bend and Central Oregon where venues and vendors book quickly. Most clients inquire 9–18 months in advance, but we are happy to accommodate shorter timelines when availability allows.

What planning services do you offer?

Shine Events offers a range of services including full-service planning, partial planning, event management, destination management services, in-house floral design, corporate retreats, social events, and celebration of life gatherings.

Do you work only in Bend and Central Oregon?

While Bend and Central Oregon are our home base, we also travel for destination weddings and events. Please contact us for availability and custom travel proposals.

What is the difference between full planning, partial planning, and event management?

Full planning provides comprehensive support from start to finish, including design, vendor coordination, logistics, and overall event management. Partial planning offers guidance and assistance throughout select parts of the planning process, while event management focuses on final details and seamless execution leading up to and on the event day.

Do you offer floral services?

Yes. We proudly offer in-house floral design services for weddings and events. By combining planning and floral design under one team, we help simplify the process while creating a cohesive and elevated overall experience.

How much do your services cost?

Because every event is unique, pricing varies depending on guest count, service level, design scope, location, and logistics. After learning more about your vision and needs, we provide a custom proposal tailored specifically to your event.

Can we still use our own vendors?

Absolutely. We are happy to collaborate with your preferred vendors whenever possible. We can also provide trusted recommendations from our network of experienced Central Oregon event professionals.

Do you help with destination weddings and guest experiences?

Yes. Our destination management services can include guest accommodations, transportation, welcome gifts, curated excursions, group activities, vendor coordination, and personalized experiences designed to showcase the best of Central Oregon.

How involved will we need to be in the planning process?

That depends entirely on your preferences and the level of service selected. Some clients want hands-on collaboration, while others prefer to step back and trust us with the details. Our goal is to create a planning experience that feels supportive, organized, and enjoyable for you.

How do we get started?

The first step is reaching out through our contact form to tell us more about your wedding or event. From there, we’ll schedule a consultation to learn about your vision, priorities, and planning needs to determine the best fit for your celebration.
