Thanks so much for all the awesome tools and gifts you sent us home with to keep the fire burning and us learning! Truly enjoyed the teachable moments to stay as one. We highly recommend this workshop for other couples!

Shon Barnwell Events, LLC is the premiere event planning company in the Middle Georgia area. My husband and I attended a marriage seminar hosted by Shon and were blown away by the level of detail, care and effort that went into every aspect of the event. Shon embodies excellence in all she does, from the welcome materials and execution of the event down to the feeling (and swag) she sends you home with. We were blown away by both the event and the professionals she brought together to make for an insightful, impact filled day with many new friends in the community. When you hire Shon for your event, whether personal or professional, you can rest assured that you have a planner who will put her absolute best into every detail!
We cannot thank you enough for your tremendous commitment, time and energy in helping our NCDE Cohort refine their pitches. Your dedication, insight and delivery of “lovingly critical’ feedback galvanized the cohort, as they work to prepare for our November 19th, 1st-ever, PitchFest Competition. We look forward to staying connected and again, we are thrilled to have you join with NCDE to advance the disability entrepreneurship movement! With deepest gratitude!
I have been to multiple events planned by Shon and just recently booked a cruise with her. The events I attended were planned amazingly and so extremely elegant. I couldn’t imagine anything better. Then I had the absolute pleasure of learning what an incredible travel planner she is. Unfortunately, our cruise was cancelled due to COVID-19 but she made the past year waiting for this cruise so special. Fun games were mailed to us, amazing tips, positive and encouraging notes were sent to us, a box full of goodies that was VERY unexpected and so much more. I can’t imagine what our cruise experience would have been like. I can’t wait to go on the next adventure with Shon. She is an amazing business woman!!!

Wow, I am overwhelmed and about to cry over the love I feel from you. I received my package and I’m sitting here looking at everything. Thank you, thank you, thank you so much. You are truly a class act. I already knew that though. I can not wait until we can set sail, safely. Much love and hugs going your way. Shon Barnwell Events, LLC is the best!
“I submitted endless resumes for positions with local Contractors at Robins Air Force Base with no success. Shon’s intake process captured my goals; properly detailed my capabilities; and matched my experiences with current vacancies. I posted my resume on a popular job site and in 10 days, I was offered a position with a local contractor! Shon, thank you for my “homework” sessions and for sharing your knowledge. Your attention to detail and dedication to talent development is exceptional! I am referring everyone in search of career services to Shon.”
Extremely impressed! Thank you so much to Shon for the over the top execution at our events. We used Shon at our last two work events as our planner and could not speak more highly of the professionalism and attention to detail that were provided to us. Shon was there early and stayed late to make sure every part of the plan was accomplished. Shon also interacted and engaged with agents and clients alike make all our guest felt well taken care of. Thank you again Shon!
We will never forget the professional work Shon Barnwell Events did for both of our graduates’ special day! She made our life easier and provided a memento that we will always cherish!
Shon did a amazing job with my daughter’s Sweet 16 party! She took our vision and made it a reality, I felt like I stepped back into the 90s. All the additional touches were spot on! I would definitely have Shon plan any other event in the future! I can’t wait to sail to Alaska with her next year. Don’t hesitate at all, Shon is THE BEST!!! You WILL NOT be disappointed!
Shon, thanks for everything and for making the events seamless and amazingly personal and fun!
Shon, our cruise was in one word – AMAZING! We appreciated every detail and all the love you put in this effort to create a wonderful occasion. We will never forget the wonderful time we had. From the youngest to the eldest, the cruise was full of fun for everyone. We enjoyed each and every guest that came along – it made the trip worth it. Our hats off to you!
I have had the pleasure of partnering with Shon Barnwell Events on several occasions. If five stars is considered the gold standard Shon gets SIX! Always professional, ever ready to put a touch of class and elegance on your event. If you’re looking for a coordinator, look no further than Shon!”
Shon, from the atmosphere, to the family, to the food, to the drinks, and to the entertainment it was a great pleasure working with you. Whenever you need us, you now know where to find us.

As a result, guests are delighted and our Team Members are consistently exposed to superbly planned and stress-free events. Looking forward to our next partnership!
I can’t even begin to express the gratitude my family and I feel for ALL the hard work you put into Mom’s event. Most could have gotten the large details right – renting the hall, food, etc – but it’s the small details that really make an event special. You, Ms. Shon, took this event over-the-top! You treated my Mom as if she were yours. Her people are still singing about that go-go. Love you.
Shon has outdone herself once again. Her events are always premier! I’m so glad I was able to witness another first class event.
Thank you so much for sharing your inspiring story with our students!
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.
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.

The experience was tops! I have been on several cruises but this booking exceeded all previous ones.
Your planning and services are outstanding from beginning to end!
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, 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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
Thanks so much Shon! We couldn’t have done it without you – and I mean that. (2017 Black Enterprise Women of Power Summit)
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, 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.
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.

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!
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!
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.
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.
Super thanks to Shon Barnwell Events, LLC for planning and executing a phenomenal experience.

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.
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.
