Shalen’s Occasions

08/18/2024

Today was beyond special! When Melody Ray approached me during our day job at the Healing Patch if I could coordinate her daughter’s wedding, I was so so honored! Samantha and Reece’s wedding day was full of so many unique touches, from their centerpieces, the large light-up letters, karaoke, and the several little surprises they had for eachother throughout the day. I want to wish the new Mr. & Mrs. Decker a lifetime of love and happiness! Thanks so much for trusting me with your day. ❤️

The vendor team today was phenomenal!

Congratulations to the Joneses! This was a first for me—two receptions in one day, each with totally different styles. Emily and Dave wanted to have an intimate dinner reception at Nemacolin Country Club, followed by a party all night long with 400+ people at the Croatian Club… and we made it happen!

Did I mention there were shots as guests left the ceremony, followed by a Croatian ceremony to congratulate the couple as newlyweds?!

And have you ever seen a bigger cookie table??😍😍😍

The vendor team for this event was incredible, all working together to make their vision come to life.

I had the absolute pleasure of coordinating the wedding of Alyssa and André this past weekend! I loved the uniqueness of this wedding— downtown Bellefonte in the background of the ceremony, saying their vows during the first look, a Speakeasy for rehearsal dinner and cocktail hour, including their pup Gus in the ceremony and having a statue of him as the cake topper, repurposing bridesmaid bouquets as centerpieces, a black and white checkered dance floor, and so much more. It was a beautiful day to celebrate the union of two even more beautiful families! Thanks for including me in your big day!

Thank you to Amanda with Timber Tie Estate for inviting me to tour this gorgeous venue! Some of my favorite things about this place are…

This is a raw space venue, meaning you have limitless potential to create your dream wedding!

It is located in Tipton in a quiet neighborhood, yet still centrally located between larger towns.

The couple gets one free night stay at the Tipton Run Lodge (pictured). The bathroom even has a heated towel rack! 😮 The kitchen is very modern— the couple can have their rehearsal dinner there if desired. The lodge sleeps up to 6. When not being used for weddings, the lodge is available to the public on AirBnB: https://abnb.me/XAf14yYSpBb

Photo opportunities are endless!!

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out, and I’ll try to point you in the right direction if I don’t have an answer.

Hi Friends! I was a little too busy having a baby and chasing a toddler around last year, so I couldn't adequately advertise my services, but I'm BACK and have several 2023 dates still available. I am offering 20% off both of my wedding coordinating packages for all weddings that are booked with me by the end of June.

I'll knock an additional 5% off for weddings that are located at Springfield Estates , Rolling Rails Lodge, Coal Country Brewing LLC, and Yinzer Valley Farms (some of my most favorite venues 😉)!

Couldn’t have said it any better myself. There’s no place for discrimination in this world. Be KIND to one another. 🌈 💜

I just saw this post in one of my wedding planning groups. Such a neat concept and makes so much more sense! 💃
