Weddings are beautiful, emotional, and… a lot. Between the countless decisions, unpredictable logistics, and high-stakes emotions, having the right coordinator isn’t just helpful it’s essential. You need someone who can anticipate the unspoken, solve the unseen, and center joy in the whirlwind. For me, that person was Shojuana Mertz.


From the beginning, Shojuana intuitively anticipated our needs, including things I hadn’t even thought to ask for. She was meticulously organized, and when the unexpected happened (as it always does), she handled everything smoothly and discreetly. I was able to stay present in the moment because I knew Shojuana was behind the scenes making magic happen.


One moment that truly touched me was during a dedicated bouquet toss for my mom. Without being asked, Shojuana stood beside her, gently took her phone so she could be fully present and enjoy the moment as she was called up. That kind of thoughtfulness seeing what others need before they know they need it is rare and speaks volumes about who Shojuana is, both professionally and personally.


Her calm energy made even the busiest moments feel joyful, and her excitement was contagious. I felt celebrated, seen, and supported throughout the entire day, and that’s something I’ll always treasure.


If you’re looking for someone who leads with intention, cares deeply, and has an incredible instinct for what truly matters on your big day, Shojuana Mertz is the coordinator you want by your side.​

I am unsure where to begin regarding our experience with Vivid Moments. From my very first conversation with Shojuana I felt reassured and supported in navigating the complexities of wedding planning. She was happy and capable to lead where we needed it, while still inviting us to take charge of where we felt comfortable. She kept us committed to the 6 month, 3 month, and even day of schedules, without being pushy or frantic. Shojuana was a welcome calm presence in the franticness of wedding planning. Shojuana worked within our schedules, budgets, and vision to make sure that we had the perfect day.
As a gay couple, it can be intimidating to connect with wedding planners who may be more comfortable with the traditional wedding than other styles, but Shojuana used her personal and professional tastes, experiences, and intuition to guide us in building the ceremony and reception we truly wanted. We cannot thank Vivid Moments enough for helping us create our perfect wedding day!
