eception. We are so happy we found Shindigs Event Solutions! Colleen checked in with us multiple times before the big day and made sure that everything ran smoothly before and during our reception. She was at our reception site to greet and guide our vendors and guests. Parking was something I really stressed about before the big day, but Colleen had everything under control and all guests were parked in an organized manner when we arrived. She set up decor, made sure we had everything we needed, and helped clean up as well. I would recommend Colleen to anyone looking for a coordinator. I knew she had everything covered, and it was such a good feeling to know I could enjoy my wedding day without stressing!
