Brittani Shepherd Owner /Lead Wedding Planner

Established in 2011

From a young age, I have always had a passion for events. After planning my sister's wedding in 2009, I discovered my love for weddings. In the fall of 2010, I enrolled in Wedding/Event Planning Business school while working as an elementary music assistant, eager to gain more experience in the wedding industry. I began offering to plan as many weddings as I could for free to build my skills. In 2011, I officially launched Making Dreams Come True. By the time I graduated in 2012, I had already planned 10 weddings, including my own. I continued working on 1-3 weddings per year until 2022.

In 2021, I joined Shiraz Garden Venue as an on-site manager, and in the fall of 2022, I became the lead in-house coordinator. Since then, I've had the privilege of assisting over 25 couples at Shiraz. In 2024, I rebranded my company to Cherished Lane Events and am excited to help even more couples bring their dream weddings to life.

I have been happily married to my husband for 11 years, and together, we have 2 sons and 2 fur babies. When I'm not coordinating weddings, I love baking and spending quality time with my family.

We loved working with Brittani as our wedding coordinator - she was amazing! She is very nice, patient, and she really cares about you and all the details for your wedding day.

I had always heard that I should expect something to go wrong on your wedding day because something always does, but that wasn't the case for us thanks to Brittani. She had everything handled just how we wanted and the day went so well. Even with heavy winds and last-minute rainy day decisions, she made sure our opinions were the most important, managed everything seamlessly and kept everything running smoothly - no stress for us! Her knowledge and experience of wedding coordinating really showed. We weren't worried about a thing day of!

If you want your wedding day to be stress-free and as perfect as you imagined, my husband and I highly recommend Brittani. She truly made our day unforgettable!

Brittani did an amazing job coordinating our wedding in Bastrop. On the big day, she knew just what (normal) problems to bring to us and which ones to figure out herself. She handled a last minute dinning arrangement change with grace and understanding and she made our special day truly magical with pulling together our decor and plans and making everything run so smoothly. I would 100% recommend Brittani for your wedding planning needs. She's also a really nice person! :)

We went with Brittani, one of Shiraz Garden’s in house coordinator and we were so grateful we did. She went above and beyond to make the day perfect. We were really able to enjoy the day because of her without worrying about details or timelines. She just told us what we needed to do and what was next and really was able to bring the vision to life. Everyone was asking us why we didn’t seem nervous or stressed, and a big part of it was because Brittani and the Shiraz team really handled everything and we got to enjoy our day.

Throughout the planning process, we had the privilege of working with Brittani, one of the in-house coordinators at Shiraz Garden. From the moment we met her, we knew we were in capable hands. Brittani's patience, professionalism, and genuine care made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. She listened attentively to our vision and offered valuable suggestions.

On our wedding day, Brittani continued to impress us with her exceptional organizational skills and attention to detail. She seamlessly coordinated with the vendors, managed the timing of each event, and ensured that we were comfortable and taken care of throughout the entire celebration. Her calm and reassuring presence allowed us to relax and truly savor every moment of our special day. The staff that worked with Brittani also deserves special recognition for their exceptional service. Their professionalism and dedication truly made a difference and added an extra layer of joy to our celebration.

I chose to go with Brittani the in house coordinator, she is was absolutely incredible. She worked her freaking tail off, anything that was an issue small or big she took care of it with a smile on her face. These two women are incredible, this venue is incredible. You will not regret it!

One of the best decisions we made!! If you are getting married you need Brittani. I didn’t even have a chance to worry about anything because she had it all covered!
