The people who have trusted us so far
Shon, thanks for everything and for making the events seamless and amazingly personal and fun!
You thought of every single detail that could and did make this an event to be remembered and talked about for years to come. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving these boys and girls the experience of a lifetime. You have an amazing gift for event planning and you’re truly Blessed with a talent for making others feel important.
Totally blessed to have the opportunity to sail with longtime friends, two of whom were sailing for the first time. Shon’s attention to detail put the first-timers at ease as well as the seasoned cruisers. Her meticulous planning for the group’s cruise booking, lodging, pre-board dining experiences, port parking, cruise reception with welcome boxes, group excursion, and the prize and gift opportunities each evening were all executed to true perfection; all signature elements of a Shon Barnwell Event. I anxiously await the next adventure with Shon Barnwell Events.
Over the last 20 years I’ve been to my fair share of international military and social events and without a doubt, Shon Barnwell led events set a standard of excellence few knew existed. I just can’t say enough about her passion, attention to detail, and creative ways to ensure the events are special. When it comes to event planning you can relax knowing you have the MVP – Most Valuable Planner — on your team. For events that matter, she’s my only choice.
Thank you, Shon, for your extraordinary effort in coordinating, communicating and implementing a well-thought-out plan for the volunteers. The event was described by many as being the best ever produced – in large part to your efforts with the volunteer team. It truly was a team effort that delivered such a successful community event. Warner Robins Independence Day Celebration (2016)
You are a consummate professional who anticipates any possible problems. You thought of everything! I will use your services again and recommend you to others.
Shon, thank you again for presenting to the Leadership Robins Region group. The session [on Diversity] was excellent and opened a lot of new lines of dialogue. Thank you for all of your support!
Thank you for coming to HCCA and teaching our students about etiquette! They enjoyed your presentation and learned a great deal!
Thank you again for taking time to spread your knowledge to our Sorority, I really enjoyed it. I liked how it was very interactive. It made me take inventory of myself to ensure I am part of solutions and not problems.
Thanks so much Shon! We couldn’t have done it without you – and I mean that. (2017 Black Enterprise Women of Power Summit)
Please accept my grandest appreciation for the service you gave me, in particular regarding the Juneteenth Cultural Exploration 17 June, 2017. The day was simply extravagant. You gave me the best part of your imagination and I am forever grateful to you. I will not hesitate at my next opportunity to join you in a celebration of the magnitude of my experience. Thank you again. Please know that words cannot express the depth of what I feel right now. You are a truth-servant. Many blessings to you and your family. I also thank my friend, Linda Gray for nominating me in her stead.
We have attended five events by Shon Barnwell and they all have been absolutely amazing! Shon is extremely organized and very easy to work with. Everyone is always mesmerized with how much attention to detail she displays in her events. I’m looking forward to her planning my 50th Birthday event.
Super thanks to Shon Barnwell Events, LLC for planning and executing a phenomenal experience.
Thank you again for speaking with the young ladies in our Delta Academy program this year. They gained valuable insight on how to develop into a great leader.
The experience was tops! I have been on several cruises but this booking exceeded all previous ones.
My husband and I were two of the beautiful souls who joined 12 others on this glorious 7-Night Western Caribbean Cruise. We had the most amazing time… all made possible by Shon Barnwell. If you desire a well planned and organized time away from work/daily life, I highly recommend using Shon Barnwell Events to help you plan your next getaway. You won’t regret it!
Shon, I woke up this morning with an overwhelming sense of gratitude to you for the amazing job you’ve done with my formal invitation! It represents me so well … the words of BETTYE – magnificent; the dress on the cover, the picture of me young and wise, the greeting, gratitude, and all the rest with such clarity for the reader. With tears of joy as I write, thank you again.
Shon, your energy is contagious! On behalf of Family Promise, I would like to thank you for your wonderful Vision Board presentation during our “Moving Forward with Vision” workshop for our guests. We appreciate your time, knowledge, and attention to detail. You have inspired many. We look forward to working with Shon Barnwell Events again the future.
Thank you for joining our on-site team at the inaugural V-WISE IGNITE entrepreneurship training event in Savannah, Georgia. The program was a great success and we could not have done it without you! As a result of your participation, our inaugural IGNITE class will go on to do great things.
Shon Barnwell’s Juneteenth event was an experience I will forever remember. First class, well organized, beautiful venues, and the food was amazing … can’t wait to see next year’s line-up.
I came to know Shon Barnwell on the occasion of a milestone celebration for my mother. Mrs. Barnwell’s superb responsiveness and reliability as the Event Center Manager at Celebrations, made our arrival, set-up and event successful. Mrs. Shon Barnwell is absolutely wonderful!
Shon, you are an awesome Event Planner and just a wonderful person. Your expertise in planning and organizing events really takes the stress off your clients. I know from experience and I thank you always!
Great facilitator! Helpful and effective practical exercises. Real-world scenarios created an interesting training event!
