What They Say

  • Over the years, she has helped with many projects from small scale (balloons) to hosting large fundraiser events for me. Every time she has knocked it out of the park. Additionally, I’ve recommended Shannan and her team to friends multiple times and everyone has wonderful experiences.

    Katelynn Henry

  • Shannan was amazing to work with. Planning a wedding is so stressful, especially when you and your husband are both full time at your jobs and many vendors don't have weekend availability to meet. Shannan made it so easy and got us connected with many of our vendors... The day of the wedding, I couldn't have done it without her and the Countdown Events team. I didn't have to lift a finger all day and got to enjoy my family, friends and most importantly my new husband.

    Heather Powers 

  • Countdown Events was the perfect fit for us. Matt & I wanted a rustic but elegant themed wedding. Also being a member of the Baptist community, we went the non-church route so we could have a dance floor to celebrate with all of our friends and family!! Countdown Events did 90% of the work which relieved stress from my family and fiancé.

    Matt & Annie Kirk

  • Shannan and her team took the stress out of planning my son's graduation party. They were creative and easy to work with. The day of the event they were well prepared and helped solve the few issues that did arise. I would highly recommend them!

    Lisa Dionisio 
    Owner of PAXUS

  • I recently was the DJ for an event with Countdown Events. When I first met Shannan and the staff, I knew they were something special and vice versa, so I just fit right in with their system of servicing their clients. The professionalism of Shannan and her business partner is amazing! They are beyond extraordinary people to work with. I could go on and on about how many last minute changes come their way and they never skip a beat.

    DJ Red Foxx

  • Shannan and her team are super awesome to work with. They make the vendors and guests feel welcome and always accommodate the needs of each individual event. Always a great experience! Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ​
