Picture your perfect event with all of the colors, food, decor, and emotions that go along with it. Now visualize that event going off without a hitch and being executed flawlessly so that every last detail you envisioned was brought to life. My name is Shannon, and I founded Citrus City Events to help you do just that!

Once upon a time, Riverside, surrounded by 20,000 acres of Washington Navel orange groves, was one of the most popular winter resort communities in the nation. Riverside, continues to captivate visitors with the scent of orange blossoms, tree lined avenues, snow capped mountain views, lush citrus groves, and charming Main Street. As an Inland Empire transplant and self-proclaimed “Carolina-Cali” girl who spent a good portion of her life living in North Carolina, I’m here to transform your visions into reality through industry knowledge, California flare, and Southern hospitality.

I’m a proud momma of the sweetest baby girl, a dog lover, and wife to my amazing husband. My mission is to share my love and passion by crafting one-of-a kind experiences that will leave guests eager to return to the picturesque city we call home.  

Offering award winning event planning experience, some of my past prominent clients include Ford Motors, Coca-Cola, Herbal Life, and The New York Times. I’ve planned everything from small social gatherings to Fortune 500 corporate events, and want to share my skills cultivated over the years with the community so near and dear to my heart.

I’m not just an event planner, but consider myself to be an experience maker, logistical expert, storyteller, and another member of your team.

Let’s acknowledge something: planning an event can be overwhelming, especially if you don’t have the time to focus on it. That’s where I come in. Whether it’s a wedding, corporate event, or a get together, I’ll handle all of the details along with trusted industry partners and experts so you don’t have to stress.

Leave the vendors and logistics to me, and let me help you craft an unforgettable event so you can enjoy yourself during this exciting time!
