BEHIND
the BRAND

Shannon Leahy — pronounced “Lay-hee.” Whether it’s a vineyard in Napa or a villa in Provence, Shannon is the cool under pressure, creative force behind ALL OUR unforgettable CELEBRATIONS.

 Whether I’m dancing to vinyl records with my husband and kids or designing extraordinary weddings, my approach is always rooted in joy, authenticity, and a sprinkle of magic.

With an interior designer mother, my love for detail and design started early. I blend neoclassical elegance with modern art to create timeless, boundary-pushing celebrations that reflect each couple’s unique story.

I believe wedding planning should be seamless and joyful, with every couple feeling truly understood. Guiding them with care and creativity, I craft weddings that feel like living works of art—full of meaning, connection, and unforgettable memories.
