Thank you for sending in your wedding planning questions! We will have Q&A each month, so keep on sending them in. Meet your panel from today. “EVERYONE NEEDS A SHANNON” S.B.Moore Co Shannon Moore spent 20 years in the hospitality industry as a multi unit manager, corporate trainer and proprietor prior to stepping into the wedding scene.  As fate would have it, two sweet friends entrusted her with the management of their historic wedding venue. Having no knowledge of the industry, but incredible work ethic Shannon quickly settled into her role. A natural fit, as she is driven by her desire to help others and fueled by her passion for creativity. Shannon has a unique ability to take your vision and make it a reality. "What would we do without Shannon?", is a sentiment that all her brides and their families share.  After two years working exclusively with Beckendorff Farms, a handful of requests , and a ton of push from clients, family and friends, Shannon decided to start her own business. The idea really sunk in when she was designing a styled shoot with some of her favorite vendors. The calligrapher wrote S.B. on a place setting to honor the venue owners Stacey and Blake. Little did she know S.B. was the name given to Shannon when she worked in New York, as her full maiden name wouldn't fit on her companies business card. Shannon took that as a sign, and loved the idea of paying homage to her sweet friends that started it all. Hence, S.B. Moore.Co was created.  When Shannon is not planning weddings and events she enjoys living her best boy mom life chasing her 5 year old son Brody, and traveling with her family. SB Moore Co Instagram YVETTE VALDEGRO  Pop Up Wedding Houston Pop Up Wedding Houston came from a 10 year span of loving all things Weddings and PEOPLE.  My experience began at Two Be Wed, one of the leading wedding planning companies in Houston.  Gleaning and having Two Be Wed as my backbone in the industry allowed me to meet and work for other highly sought after venues, and catering companies. What a great way to spend my days... designing and planning the most memorable event in couples life.  I aim to be adventurous  and offer an all inclusive personal wedding experience for those looking beyond a basic courthouse wedding.  Keeping the stylish and beautiful look is a must.  Offering a high standard of value to amazing couples  looking for the same thing keeps me driven.  My passion is to provide a quality styled event for everyone, no matter the budget or situation.  Everyone's story is unique and love comes together in many ways and expressions and I desire my clients to have a safe place to express their love.   I am determined to offer an overall experience for my clients that makes 'saying I do' personal and stress free.  Planning, researching, and making a wedding happen can be tiring and demanding when you have other commitments and I've streamlined the process of getting married by doing all the legwork for you.  Teaming with me will connect you with some of the most desired vendors and venues in the Houston area.  These combined  years of experience and connections work together to create your perfect Pop Up Wedding!  We are always looking for ways to improve, add options and benefits for our clients.   PUW Houston Instagram         ​
