Weddings and Events created especially for you
Thank you for meeting with me at Panera regarding the planning of your special day!
As the owner of Sharondipity, my experience consists of planning and coordinating weddings, engagement parties, graduations, bridal showers and company events.
While raising 3 children, I was drawn to various social events and felt as though I had a knack for party planning. My sons friends started getting married and I saw a need to help guide them with planning the perfect wedding or event on a specific budget. As I realized how much I enjoyed helping other people in creating their special events, I decided to attend University of La Verne and receive my certification from the Wedding Planning Institute.
I will walk along side you in finding the perfect venue & theme, along with all the details and extra special touches created just for you. You will get to enjoy your special day with no stress when using my services. Your special occasion will be brought to you with a joyful, energetic attitude in getting the job done!
I have enclosed some information regarding the services I provide along with some sample theme ideas. Please look everything over at your leisure and let me know if you have any questions! I will be following up with you in the next few weeks to go over any unanswered questions you may have.
Quality and efficiency is my main priority in bringing your event to life. Besides getting to know you better, I look forward to working with you in creating and celebrating your dream wedding!
Sincerely,
Sharon Morey
Owner of Sharondipity
