Meet Your Full-Time Planners: The "Boss Babes"

Shelby Wolfe - Founder

Hello there! I'm Shelby Wolfe, the founder of La Luz. With over a decade of experience as a certified international wedding and event planner, I have had the privilege of curating both private and corporate events. My past clients often credit the success of their weddings and events to my personable, enthusiastic, organized, detail-oriented, and creative skill sets. (Don't just take my word for it – read their heartfelt testimonials and discover our five-star reviews on Google, The Knot, and Wedding Wire!)

Consultations may bring us together as strangers, but as we journey through the planning process, a beautiful and natural relationship blossoms. You'll likely receive my family's annual goofy Christmas card by the time your big day arrives.

When I'm not weaving wedding and event magic, you can find me having a PJ dance party with my four little ones (aged 5, 3.5, 2, & 6 months) and my wonderful husband in our cozy living room. I confess to shedding tears during cute animal videos, laughing at fragrance commercials, and hiding under a blanket during scary movies – I absolutely do not watch them. My exercise routine involves Zumba (well, that and keeping up with four little ones). I have a fondness for dry wines, margaritas (on the rocks, no salt, please), and my coffee with just a hint of creamer. Let me buy YOU a drink so we can get to know all about you and your wedding or special event dreams!
