We had a fantastic time working with Shari from Events by Wise for our wedding. We utilized her bar car services with Dixie, the horse trailer bar car. After working together to create a menu, we purchased all the alcohol and delivered it to the venue. The rest was all organized by Shari and she made it a breeze! Everyone commented on how much they loved the drinks, the friendliness of the staff working at the bar, and the design of the horse trailer bar car. We would happily recommend Shari to anyone for this service!

Shari and her team are truly amazing! My fiancé and I had this insane idea of planning an engagement party at Hidden Grove in just a month and Shari was incredibly helpful and guided us through the whole process. We informed her from the beginning that we had no idea what we were doing and she was so patient and understanding. Even with such short notice, she was able to put together a waitstaff team for our event and handled a lot of coordination with the venue manager and vendors on our behalf.

We highly recommend Events by Wise if you’re looking for a team that is organized, friendly, and passionate about helping others plan any event!

Just had Shari help with the planning of my wedding on October 13th. We had her help us with planning for the month of the wedding, and I truly can't imagine not having her there. She helped us stay organized, presented us with great new ideas, and left us with the freedom we wanted to keep in specific areas. Her team was also helpful, I felt that everything went so smoothly the day of our wedding. Since we had a backyard wedding, there were a lot of little details to keep track of. So thankful for Shari and her team!

Shari and her team did such an amazing job for our May 2024 wedding (we hired her for month of coordination and used her waitstaff team as well)! From our first communication with Shari, she was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, easily accessible, and truly went above and beyond. When we faced a crisis with one of our vendors (to no fault of Shari at all), she stepped in to help us navigate the next steps, providing excellent recommendations for new vendors. She also offered recommendations for any other vendors we still needed to book, always responding promptly and in an organized manner.

Shari also has an inventory of different items (signs, dessert platters/stands, etc.) that you are free to use, which was very helpful to us. She also gives you access to a wedding planning tool, Aisle Planner, which was extremely useful in the planning process. It kept our vendors, budget, guest list, seating chart, and more organized, making the planning process much smoother. Shari was proactive in finding ways to save us money, offering discounts with Minted and the rental company, and even adjusting delivery and pickup days to save us a few hundred dollars. Her assistant, Brittany, was amazing as well and we loved working with her! She was very attentive to our needs and overall a joy to work with.

I wholeheartedly recommend Shari and her team to anyone! We fully trusted her to execute our vision and make any game-day decisions necessary. Several of our guests commented that this was the most well-planned and organized wedding they had ever attended. The entire Events by Wise team provided an all-around great experience, making us confident in their professional and experienced service.

Shari and her EBW team were phenomenal and I cannot recommend them enough. She is the venue coordinator for Lone Wulff Ranch in Davis (our venue) as well. She was attentive, very responsive, well organized, and overall made planning a wedding much less stressful. During our wedding, Shari and her staff were always checking in on us and making sure we had our drinks filled. They were friendly and always had a smile on their faces. I would highly recommend EBW for any of your life events! Also, the Dixie Horse Trailer (our bar) was super cute and such a fun touch to our wedding.

We can’t say enough about how phenomenal Shari is! We initially decided to purchase a full-service wedding planning package because we live out of state and were looking for guidance planning our wedding at The Maples. From our first conversation, Shari was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also enthusiastic about bringing our unique vision to life.

We had regular Zoom meetings throughout the months leading up to our wedding. Shari was always incredibly prepared and patient with us when we changed our minds on details. (We left every single call feeling more excited and somehow not stressed at all!) One thing we loved was that whenever we brought Shari ideas or inspo photos, she was able to translate those into tangible ideas/vendors and gather all of the pricing and logistical info for us to make a final decision. She made the daunting work of planning a big event feel EASY.

Our wedding came together beautifully and was truly the best day of our lives. Because we had so much trust and respect for Shari, we didn’t worry about a single detail other than being in the moment and enjoying the day. In fact—we only found out later that our bakery forgot(!) to deliver our wedding cake. She handled that situation behind the scenes like an absolute pro and before we knew anything was amiss, the cake was in place.

We recommend working with Events by Wise to all couples who are looking for a supportive, creative, and reliable wedding planner. Shari became a trusted friend to us throughout the planning process and we are so grateful for her!

I had the most wonderful experience working with Events by Wise. I booked the horse trailer for the bar and had two other events staff working during our wedding at the Lone Wulff Ranch. We had the most AMAZING time! The bar was incredible and we loved our bartenders and the staff! They were all smiles, super helpful and were laughing with our guests and just having themselves a great time! Shari was also super helpful when I had questions about vendors recommendations and last minute details concerning the wedding. I HIGHLY recommend working with Events by Wise for your wedding or any other celebrations!

We used the Events by Wise team for our bartenders and wait staff at my daughter's wedding at Lone Wulff Ranch. We rented the mobile bar, Dixie, which was a wonderful addition to the wedding.
The team was wonderful - very friendly and attentive to everyone. We highly recommend them for whatever event you are considering!
