About

Hello, I’m Sydney.

Sydney Shepherd, founder and lead planner of Golden Hour Weddings & Events

Founder & Lead Planner

Planning that feels calm, from start to finish.

I’m a wedding and event planner with a passion for turning special moments into unforgettable experiences. I thrive on organization, creativity, and staying calm under pressure, so every detail is handled with care from the first consultation to the final send-off.

Whether it’s a timeless wedding, an elegant celebration, or a meaningful milestone, I bring your vision to life with a balance of beauty, precision, and intention. My goal is a planning process that feels stress-free and genuinely enjoyable, so you can be fully present for the moments that matter most.
