Nice to meet you! My name is Mia, and I'm so glad you're here. After completing law school and spending a few years at a large firm, I found myself craving a more creative career—one that blended my experience in deal coordination and research with my type-A personality (I thrive on a well-organized spreadsheet), my passion for creating beautiful events, my love for collaboration, and my deep desire to bring joy to others. I'm a wife, mom, oldest sister, former dancer, reality TV binger, and proud cat lady. ​If you think I could be a good fit for your big day, reach out! I'd love to learn how I could help make your dream day come true.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had the pleasure of having Mia as our wedding officiant and honestly, she was amazing. From the very beginning, she was warm, professional, and super easy to work with. She took the time to create a ceremony that felt personal and genuine. On the big day, she delivered everything perfectly — calm, confident, and with just the right touch of emotion and joy. She truly made the moment special for us. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to marry us. Thank you, Mia, for being such an important part of our day. Highly recommend!

Awarded Best of Zola
Hands down, the best investment we could have made for our wedding was hiring SEG. Especially since we were trying to plan a wedding in Chicago from Florida, we were lost in starting this journey. Alex instantly made everything easier and had us on the correct path the whole time. She went above and beyond any expectations that we had and always made sure that we were aware of any action items on a monthly basis so that we wouldn't miss out on anything. You could instantly tell that she has a passion for wedding planning. From providing her expert insights into design or cultivating the perfect vibe that we were aiming for, we couldn't have asked for more. The attention to detail that was given on the actual day and the curated timeline made it all seamless and gave us the opportunity to actually take in and enjoy the whole day with family and friends! We could write a book about how magical and perfect every aspect of the wedding turned out, how valued we felt over the planning process, or even how Alex went out of her way to make sure that the little details happened that you look back on now and deeply appreciate but it still wouldn't be enough to repay her for curating the wedding that we dreamed of.

Awarded Best of Zola
Shawfield Events is THE best at wedding planning and coordinating! My husband and I had worked with Corinne over the last year planning and preparing for our September 2025 wedding whilst living out of state. There was NOTHING Corinne couldn't do and her advocacy for us in the times we needed her when dealing with other vendors was so meaningful and a huge stress reliever. Corinne and Meghan both are extremely detail oriented, extremely thorough, and communicate with their couples promptly. Their ability to manage and exceed our expectations while providing insight and recommendations about things we never thought of were next level and greatly appreciated. Having Shawfield Events be present for our Wedding Rehearsal, overseeing set up at the reception venue, and being present with us the day of our wedding was the best investment we made during our wedding planning process.

Congratulations, you’re engaged! We are so honored to work with couples from all walks of life to create a day that is uniquely you. On your wedding day, you’ll have a team to advocate for you, be by your side and help you pull off a celebration that’s one to remember.

We hired Michelle Knutson for our November 2025 Palm Springs wedding and truly could not be happier with our experience. We had a fairly small event, so we went with the day-of-coordinator package. Michelle truly went above and beyond just the day-of coordinating. She coordinated a couple intros zooms, got in touch with our venue and all of our vendors beforehand and brought us solutions when we realized we were going to be rained on. The day of she was a straight shooter - direct and ran a tight ship. But she was also warm, friendly and upbeat. Her assistant even took care of my dog for me and made sure he was fed and walked! We are forever grateful to her and her team for making our day so special. 10/10 recommend!

Alex was extremely easy to work with and her team was even. Easier to work with. She made sure that our vendors had all the info they needed. When one vendor was eating with our guests inappropriately, she documented that for me to help with getting a refund. She made sure that our vendors also got food too. The way that her team moved efficiently to set up the event was amazing and they were thorough enough to make sure that we didn't get a cleaning invoice. Something that apparently always happens at our venue.

Alexa is a true professional with her work and I knew from the moment we spoke to her that she was the one we wanted to work with. We interviewed several planners that did not come close to Alexa’s level of expertise and ability to make you feel calm and in good hands. If I was able to re-do my wedding again, I may change a few vendors, but Alexa is someone we would lock down over and over again! Hands down the best decision we made! Alexa is reliable, professional, friendly, and most importantly organized! We immediately had a guide on where to start and where we should be with our process each month. Alexa was available to us for any questions or doubts we might have, and made the most stressful months leading up to our wedding stress free. She always asked questions we didn’t think to ask. She took the lead with our vendors and ensuring we never missed a step, but most importantly Alexa was always positive, kind, and composed during every meeting we had. She made me feel at ease and relaxed, which says a lot when someone is planning a wedding. The day of our wedding we always knew what was going to happen next and even when something unexpected would come up, Alexa was quick to resolve it. Not only did my husband and I feel thankful for hiring Monarch, but my family was also left impressed and thankful for Alexa. Hiring a wedding planner is the best decision you can make, but if you hire Monarch, they will make it possible for you to be stress free leading up to your wedding and allow you to focus on being present in the moment. Thank you Alexa and Monarch!! You made the impossible possible and allowed us to enjoy our wedding stress free!

Awarded Best of Zola
From the very beginning, Jen brought a sense of calm and confidence to our wedding planning process. While she was technically our day-of coordinator, she jumped in to support us a full month before the wedding — helping with logistics, vendor coordination, and keeping everything organized and on track. On the big day, she was so attentive, perceptive, and incredibly grounded. She understood the nuances of our family dynamics without needing much direction and handled every moment with grace. I was completely comfortable handing off all vendor communication to her, which allowed me to truly enjoy the day. She listened carefully, wrote things down, and followed through — often within minutes. Her assistants were kind, proactive, and professional, which only added to the sense of trust and ease. Everything felt seamless and intentional. Her communication was clear and efficient, and I genuinely appreciated her adaptability, warmth, and thoughtful attention to all the details — even the ones I didn’t know I needed help with. She didn’t just help us execute a timeline — she helped bring our vision to life. We couldn't imagine our day without her.
