Luxury Wedding Planner in Park City Featured in MSN

Every now and then, this career gives me a moment to pause and reflect, and being featured in MSN as a leading luxury wedding planner in Park City was one of those moments. After more than two decades in this industry, it’s incredibly meaningful to see the values I care about most recognized on such a big stage!

How My Love for Entertaining Became a Career as a Luxury Wedding Planner in Park City

People are often surprised when I tell them that my journey didn’t start with elaborate weddings or destination celebrations. It began much more simply with a love for hosting. Bringing people together around a table, watching friendships spark, and seeing joy in the details lit a fire in me.

That passion grew quickly, and before long, I found myself planning gatherings far beyond my own home. What started small has now grown into hundreds of weddings and milestone events across the country, from the mountains of Park City to celebrations around the world.

The Three Values That Guide Every Event We Plan

When MSN described me as someone known for artistry, precision, and heartfelt service, it resonated deeply because those words are the lens through which I approach every event.

Artistry means weaving beauty and story into each detail. Precision means the logistics are seamless, so the focus stays on joy. Heartfelt service means treating every event like it matters as much to me as it does to the family I’m serving.

It’s easy to focus on the flowers or the menu (and those are important), but for me, it’s the feeling guests carry home with them that matters most.

The Future of Shellie Ferrer Events

The future of Shellie Ferrer Events is something I’m excited about! Destination celebrations are becoming a bigger part of our work and I love the way travel allows us to blend cultures, traditions, and new perspectives into a couple’s story. My vision is to continue bringing our signature balance of elegance and precision to weddings and events worldwide.

Planning Your Luxury Wedding in Park City (and Beyond)

My team and I are here to create an unforgettable experience whether in the mountains of Utah or a destination abroad. Get in touch and and let’s make magic!
