Shelly Fortune Event Design

Shelly Fortune Event Design Wedding & Event planner based in Lexington, Kentucky. MANIFESTO

I believe in…
The art of communication. I believe in meeting face to face.

I believe in listening,
in finding out who you are. I believe in developing relationships. I believe in community,
in supporting local talent. I believe that every person
is different and unique. Weddings should reflect the couple – not a trend. I believe in underselling and over delivering. I believe in going beyond expectations. I believe in love, and in marriage. It takes dedication, and it’s w

orth it. I believe in hard work. I believe that on your wedding day you should
share love with family,
create memories with friends,
and leave hard work to professionals,
leave that to us…

I believe in you, in your event,
and in making it perfect.

And that’s a wrap on 2021 ✨This year was one for the record books. We are so grateful to all our amazing clients this year for trusting us with their life celebrations and allowing us to be a part of their story. We would never be where we are without our incredible community of vendors we work with week after week and our weekend event staff, who keep things running smoothly.

Now time for some rest and family time and we’ll see everybody in 2022 🗓 Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

We love when we get to show a bride her vision come to life before guests arrive. After all the months of planning & dreaming, this moment - where she gets to see it all come together - makes it all worthwhile.

We always spend this time of year designing & creating for our Spring / Summer clients. It's one of our favorite parts of planning events, especially because each design is so unique to our couples. We take cues from them to create a warm, inviting space reflective of our clients. And seeing the end result come together - details set, napkins placed, chairs straightened, & candles lit - is pure magic.

Hi everyone, Beth here ()! I’m currently in Chicago with family, but wanted to continue our ! Here are a few facts about me:
- I have been with the SF team since 2015. Before that, I was a graphic designer for !
- I love what I do now, because it still lets me be creative, but I also get to meet with people & do a variety of different tasks throughout the day.
- My favorite part of a wedding day is watching the First Look. I cry almost every time. 😂
- I have two cats, Berlioz & Enzo. They are the best.
- My husband, Sam, & I LOVE to travel. If I wasn’t doing this, I would love to be a travel / food writer.
- Things I love: Star Wars, reading good books, watching UK basketball, big cities, baking, & working out (never thought I’d type that - this is a recent development).

Wanted to do some today & finally show our faces for those of you who may not know us. Our team of 3 is busy working behind the scenes on our 2020 events & don't often have the time to share about ourselves - but thanks to these new headshots we wanted to change that!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For the next three Fridays we'll be sharing a bit more about each of us - be sure to check back then & say hi! - Beth, Shelly, & Sara
