Nazanin Ilkhani – July 2015 – Wedding @ Parkwood Golf Club, Gold Coast

I seriously cannot rave enough about Sharon and the work she did creating an absolutely stunning fairy light draped ceiling and decor for our wedding. She is super friendly and once you meet her, you will instantly get the feeling that she is not in for the money like most people in the industry. She is great at what she does and her prices are very reasonable. Thank you for all your hard work.

Megan & Chris Hetherington – April 2015 – Wedding @ New Farm Park

My husband and I were extremely thrilled with how Sharon and her team at Eloquent Weddings and Events styled our ceremony at the New Farm Park rotunda. Every detail was exactly as we had planned and discussed with Sharon. It all came together beautifully and we couldn’t be happier. We highly recommend Sharon and the team at Eloquent Weddings and Events. Thank you so much again for all your help on our special day.

Amy Sigley – April 2015 – Wedding @ Manly

We had our wedding at Manly in April, and Sharon did the ceremony styling. Sharon was absolutely fabulous. I felt very comfortable with Sharon doing the styling, and had full trust in her. She did a wonderful job. I found her to be very patient with me, quick in her communication, and very thorough. In addition, she is a really lovely person, and her prices are competitive. I highly recommend Sharon for wedding styling!

Justin & Amie Bexon – April 2015 – Wedding @ Sunshine Coast

Sharon at Eloquent Wedding and Events has been the most lovely, helpful, accommodating and honest and professional wedding vendor anyone could hope for! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone wanting to have a party or wedding decorated. The quality of the products and styling was top notch, outstanding! She is full of suggestions if you are unsure of anything and if there is an idea you want to create she has the knowledge and tools to make it possible. She made our dream wedding a reality and at an affordable price. Thank you so so very much for making our day even more perfect than I ever imagined!

Ina Fafejta – April 2015 – Wedding @ West End

I came across eloquent weddings after going through what seemed like a tonne of wedding planners who weren’t on the same page as me or just were very aggressive in there planning, once I met Sharon it was like breath of fresh air. All my wedding stresses and worries she understood and made them disappear. My partner and I are so appreciative of the amount of time and effort that went into our wedding. We had planned for an outdoor wedding but it rained on the day and like a guardian angel Sharon managed to still make everything absolutely beautiful in our reception venue, I was so overwhelmed walking into my wedding every where I looked just made me cry even more happy tears of course. What Sharon and her team delivered on the day exceeded our expectations by far and we will forever be grateful for them making our day the most magical day in the world. Friendly, affordable, amazing, easy going, are only a few words that come to mind when describing the work ethic of Sharon definitely have her for all your events you won’t be disappointed. Thank you so much for everything from the newly-weds.

Kylie & Brandt Pronk – March 2015 – Wedding @ Roma Street Parkland

Jessica Sermak – March 2015 – Wedding @ Gold Coast

Just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for all the effort and time you put into my wedding you really did give me the wedding of my dreams!!!

Thank you so very much it was amazing and I will cherish those memories forever!

Lauren & Andrew McDonnell – January 2015 – Wedding @ Roma Street Parkland

A massive thank you to Sharon and her team, you managed to pull together an amazing style for us. In a 36 degree day, your drinks station was a huge hit and the guests were definitely grateful! We really do appreciate your level of planning and input to make sure our Ceremony was picture perfect – I was absolutely impressed when I saw the pillars with flowers and top, our dressed arbour, and our guests using your parasols – each of your little touches made it perfect. I can’t thank you enough; you took all the stress away from the Ceremony planning!

Marieka & Michael Beilby – January 2015 – Wedding @ Newstead Park

Sharon was such a lovely person to work with and was flexible and assisted with any last minute changes. She made our wedding ceremony preparation easy and worry free. Thank you for making our wedding day feel so special Sharon! We are truly thankful Sharon, our wedding day was so amazing and you did a fantastic job.

2014

Jay & Belinda Klein – December 2014 – Wedding @ Newstead Park

It’s hard to put into words just how pleased Belinda and I were with Eloquent Weddings & Events. After our engagement, we decided to get married right away (9 weeks!) and needed to quickly put together a venue and a reception. I had some mates in the wedding industry whom I first contacted about attaining the appropriate items (chairs, runners, other decorations, etc.). Out of due diligence, I also contacted Sharon at Eloquent Weddings & Events. Sharon wowed us with her suggestions and her inventory even suggesting items that we hadn’t thought of for the ceremony. We are SO thankful we got the americana chairs, aisle runner, parasols, water station, chair sash and other decorations and her prices were not only competitive, but beat the ‘mates rates’ I received from my connections! Sharon arrived in plenty of time before our guests, and stuck around to take photos of the ceremony which she later sent on CD!To say Sharon went ‘above and beyond’ our expectations is the understatement of our wedding day. She was professional and amazing to work with and we would recommend her to anyone planning an eloquent event, especially a wedding! A 10 out of 10! A 100 out of 100!

Niki Teljega – Oct 2014 – Lolly Buffet @ Fashion Launch Party

It was lovely to meet you tonight at my Ready To Wear Fashion Launch Party. Thank you so much for all your help. All I heard all night was everyone saying how good the lolly buffet was … It was amazing… Thank you again.

Kathy Pane – Sept 2014 – Wedding Renewal Decoration

Want to thank both Sharon and Alec for making our day so very special! Your decorations were stunning and made our house look spectacular. The chandelier, the arbor, the chairs with bows…all fantastic! Nothing was a trouble, and it was just an absolute pleasure to work with both of you! THANK YOU! Can highly recommend Sharon to style any special event, knowing you will get good service, great ideas and good quality decorations.

Tayte Armstrong – Sept 2014 – Wedding Arbour

A huge thank you to Sharon and Eloquent Weddings for their professional and reliable service on our wedding day. The single arbour with hanging chandelier was beautifully set up and complimented the ceremony area perfectly. I will definitely recommend Sharon and Eloquent Weddings to any friends or family getting married! Thank you.

Mathew & Terry Hosking – June 2014 – Kilcoy

What an awesome day, Eloquent Weddings, what an amazing family & company. Made our day perfect from start to finish & the after care to make sure our day was perfect was amazing. We had a country side wedding through creeks & bush & there is no place these people will not go to make your day perfect. We want to thank Sharon, her husband & company for making our day so amazing & would recommend them to everybody for their genuine amazing service.

Danielle Duncan – June 2014 – McLeod Country Golf Club

I worked with Sharon from Eloquent Weddings and Events on a number of projects during my role as Event Sales Coordinator at McLeod Country Golf Club. Sharon was a delight to deal with, her friendly nature, brilliant ideas, attention to detail and personalised service made our events a success. Sharon is hard working, always willing to help out with a smile and nothing is ever too difficult for her to arrange. Eloquent Weddings and Events offer quality products at reasonable prices. I hope I have the chance to work together again on future projects.

Christel Davies – May 2014 – Wedding

Words cannot really do justice for the gratitude that Brendan and I have for Sharon. Winning the decor package was the best thing that happened for us during our wedding planning. It has been a huge saving and stress relief for us! Sharon went above and beyond with everything. We felt so comfortable talking with Sharon and she understood exactly what we were after with the look of our wedding. People often roll their eyes when the bride gets excited about her wedding and talks and talks, but Sharon got just as excited about our wedding as me. She has provided the best advice and was more than happy to come along to any supplier meetings. Sharon was there for us on the day, providing us with wedding day co-ordination and it was a great comfort to know she was there if we needed anything. When things were looking a bit pear shaped and the stress started overwhelming me, Sharon was there to reassure me that everything was going to be OK and she would take care of it. When I walked down the aisle and into the reception on the day, everything was how it was supposed to be and I know this was because of Sharon’s dedication and hard work. When I look and think back on everything now, how perfect everything was and how smooth the day went, I thank Sharon in my head because I know that without her, my wedding would not have turned out to be the most beautiful, amazing day of my life.

Renee Berry – April 2014 – Wedding Decorations

Sharon is highly reliable and organised, and nothing is too much trouble! She knows where to find anything you could possibly want for your wedding, and takes all the stress out of sourcing it. She takes time to listen and understand your theme for your event, and is full of ideas! I can’t recommend Sharon highly enough – an amazing lady who will go above and beyond to make your big day perfect!

Cal & Courtney Brunton – March 2014 – Brunton Wedding

Sharon was extremely organised and only too happy to assist with any requests. Our special day was a thousand times easier and less stressful knowing that Eloquent Weddings were taking care of all of the finer details for our ceremony. Set up, decorations and pack up were streamlined and the location looked all that much more divine because of the care and diligence taken by Sharon. We would recommend this business to anyone getting married, regardless of the size and grandeur of the wedding. We can’t thank Eloquent Weddings enough.

Leah Sing – March 2014 – Wedding Reception & Lolly Buffet

Thank you so much for everything you did to make Holly’s 18th Birthday so very special. It was lovely to work with you and I feel very lucky to have found such a professional, capable and reliable business owner, not to mention, a lovely person. Your attention to detail was something I truly appreciate and it all came together to make Holly’s birthday celebration perfect and extra special. It was lovely working with you and I look forward to recommending you to others and working with you again.

Laura Borserio – November 2013 – Beaumont Wedding

From the moment I spoke to Sharon from Eloquent Weddings, she had a professional, friendly and ‘can-do’ attitude. Sharon was constantly helping us and doing anything she could to attend to our individual wants and needs. I would recommend anyone I know to come to Eloquent Weddings because the service is professional, the rental products are lovely and clean and well presented. Thank you Sharon for all your hard work for our wedding!

Susan Colley – October 2013 – Cliff Wedding

 

 We would like to thank Sharon from Eloquent Weddings for making our day so special, beautiful and perfect! Sharon’s ideas and additions made the park and reception look so much more beautiful, than we could have imagined. We would recommend Eloquent Weddings to any upcoming brides, as they take a load of stress off you and we promise, you will be blown away as we were when we entered the reception. All our guests commented on how beautiful the reception looked. Once again, thank you so much for making our day special!

Kathryn Fulton – October 2013 – Lanham Wedding

Cassandra Dean – September 2013 – Wedding Planning

Thank you Sharon for taking the stress out of planning our wedding! I had started researching venues and obtaining quotes but quickly realised that there were countless options to consider and became very overwhelmed. A friend referred me to Eloquent Weddings and I couldn’t be more grateful. I simply gave Sharon the concept of what I wanted and she sorted out all of quotes and provided them back to me in a great comparative table. It has saved me so much money and I have the perfect venue. As if that wasn’t enough, she has continued to go above and beyond my expectations and has sent me so many other ideas and specials on related costs for the wedding that are going to save me even more money. I don’t know what I would have done without you Sharon! Thank you!

Michelle Sorensen – August 2013 – Hardy Wedding

Craig and I wanted to thank you for the beautiful wedding ceremony setup you did for us last Saturday.

We are more than happy for you to use any photos or this thank you in any of your advertising material or website.

Lena Taylor – January 2013 – Taylor Wedding

Brayden and I would like to say thank you so much for all your help with our wedding ceremony and all your help leading up to our wedding day. The ceremony setup was absolutely perfect. I must say how nice it was to have someone that was very helpful and who was happy to answer our questions any time. Your suggestions were very helpful and your standard of service was exceptional. I would be happy to recommend your services.

2012

Eileen Iese – November 2012 – Iese Wedding

When we started planning our wedding, I began finding it difficult to have an elegant and unique wedding because I was overwhelmed with the amount of details and work necessary to carry it out, but using Sharon’s services was the best decision we ever made! Sharon, from Eloquent Weddings took the time to understand what kind of wedding we wanted and helped us achieve the most perfect wedding day. Sharon helped us with all aspects of the wedding from designing the invitations, researching and attending supplier meetings and helping us keep within our budget. We always felt so comfortable speaking to her because she portrayed empathy, love, and just so much care for weddings and for us the bride and groom. Sharon is a creative, elegant, and a unique woman who listened to our ideas and always gave us excellent advice. Sharon always took care of each detail with class and professionalism. Sharon made stressful situations and apprehensive moments lighter and she always knew how to make me calm and ultimately focus on the bright side of things. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect and everything ran smoothly all because of Sharon’s dedication and care. We have no hesitation recommending Sharon to our friends and family who want to have a stress-free wedding or party.

Janice Black – May 2012 – Lewis Party

I was a guest at this 70th Birthday & 50th Wedding Anniversary Party. Sharon Shabanz, Eloquent Weddings & Events turned this very special celebration into a day of magical colour and amazing memories. Sharon’s attention to every detail was outstanding from the glamorous table settings to the glistening hanging crystals. Planning these special occasions can often be rather stressful why not let a professional take care of things so you can relax and enjoy the day. I would highly recommend Eloquent Weddings & Events and know who I will be trusting to organise all my future special occasions for my family and business events.

Dale Lewis – May 2012 – Lewis Party

My husband & I wanted to thank you for creating a wonderful atmosphere for our special celebration. The attention to detail, colour and elegant theming had our guests talking! If you have a special occasion or event coming up I would highly recommend using Eloquent Weddings & Events!
