Shannon St.Ours

Owner and Lead Planner


Growing up in New England, I knew from an early age that I had a love for planning and events, especially the intricate details of weddings (who else would ask for post-it notes for Christmas?). After a particularly detailed senior project in high school, I knew for certain I wanted to follow a career path in event planning.

I enjoyed throwing parties and being a hostess in my home, and was often called upon by family, friends, and co-workers to help plan social events.

After seventeen years in operations + project management for a large retail company (hey, gotta pay the bills!), I was at last able to focus on pursuing my dreams and founded SES Events in 2018 in a leap of faith to become a full time entrepreneur. 

I take great pride in my work, and strive to go  above and beyond for each couple to ensure every detail is met with perfection.

When I’m not planning events, I love being with my husband and two boys, traveling, reading, being anywhere by the ocean and in nature, and exploring the decor aisles of my local home goods store!

What is your favorite part of being an event planner?

My favorite part by far is the look of joy and wonder on my client’s faces when they arrive at their event and see how everything has come together, it’s magical and SO rewarding!


What would you be doing if you weren’t doing this?

If I was forced to start a new career tomorrow, I would do a complete 360 and pursue my dream of becoming a forensic psychologist or open a bakery.
