Working with Joanna P was, without a doubt, the best decision we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, I put my full faith in her to plan our entire celebration. I initially had a vague vision of a destination wedding somewhere tropical in Europe, and Joanna immediately delivered by sending us an incredible variety of options and venues.
Ultimately, we landed on the Algarve in Portugal, and every single detail turned out even better than we could have ever expected.
Joanna is the definition of a true professional: she is exceptionally reliable, deeply talented, and an absolute master of her craft. Her attention to detail is unmatched. On the big day, she genuinely… read full review

We worked with Joanna Pirszel from Shannon Gail for our September 2026 wedding. We were able to enjoy every single moment of our day to the fullest and not worry about anything thanks to Joanna (and SG assistant Isabella, too).

Hire Shannon Gail to make your wedding dreams come true!
From our very first interaction, it was clear why Shannon Gail has a reputation for having some of the best wedding planners in the city.

As a Type A bride with approximately one million questions, I always felt supported and never felt like just another wedding on the calendar.
Christine was absolutely phenomenal. She is the perfect combination of… read full review
