Reviews

  • “I worked with Shi during her dog fashion show and my pup and I had the best time! It was so magical to see everything come together. Shi’s passion and dedication to every event and person involved is just beautiful!!”

    —Jordan, Dog Model’s Parent

  • “I recently went to a dog fashion show and Event planner Shi gave us the best experience. It was well organized and my daughter fell in love with every model dog. It was a great experience for being the first time going to one. Event planner Shi know how to make you have an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend her for your next event.”

    —Andrea, Attendee

  • “I was a vendor at Shi’s Dog Fashion Show, and I was so impressed with the event! From the vendor point of view, she supplied A table, linens, and a chair, and was great about answering questions (And I always have a lot of questions!) She was very organized beforehand, keeping everybody up-to-date on what was going on and arranging things so that no one had any direct competition. She even had our logos going up on the big screen before the event started and during lunch!

    As a guest, I was impressed with the quality of everything. It was set up so anyone could see the stage wherever you were, the MC was entertaining, and everything ran smoothly. There were snacks and a chance to browse all the goodies that people brought. Given the quality of her work, I would hire her for an event anytime!”

    —Jenna, Vendor

  • “I’ve had the pleasure of attending three events planned by Shi, and every single one has left me genuinely impressed. Shi is incredibly organized, detail-oriented, and brings an unmatched level of passion to her work. Whether it’s a large community gathering or something as unique as a dog fashion show, Shi pours her heart into every event and makes it meaningful, thoughtful, and unforgettable.

    You can truly feel how much she loves what she does. Her ability to turn ideas into experiences—and to create a welcoming, intentional atmosphere—sets her apart. I highly recommend Event Planner Shi for anyone looking to host a purpose-driven event with care and excellence at every step.”

    —Chone, Attendee
