Featured Coordinator

While multiple Marryment coordinators may support the Northern Illinois, Southern Wisconsin, and Rockford area, Shannon is our expert in the area!

Shannon Dudzik

Role: Wedding Planner (aka Wedding BFF)

Favorite Part Of A Wedding Day: When her couples get to see each other for the first time. Whether it's a first look or walking down the aisle, that's the moment when you can physically feel the unique love shared between them. Nothing tops the look of true love! (Though Shannon is also a sucker for dancing, so you’ll catch her on the corner of every dance floor - either tearing up during the first dance or busting a move when the dance floor opens.)

Pre-Wedding Rituals: Morning prayer for her couple, dance party with her daughter (you know, to get the vibes up!), and the most unhealthy drive thru meal to fuel her for the day.

Shannon Loves: Escaping into the fantasy world of a good book, taking bike rides with her daughter, perfecting her amateur cake decorating skills, and trying to convince her husband that they need another trip to Disney World.

Pathway to Marryment: From fashion to dental, no matter the world she’s in, Shannon has always delivered remarkable customer service and the wedding world is no different!

What Others Have To Say About Shannon: Couples know Shannon doesn’t just coordinate weddings - she takes care of the people at the heart of them.

Client Testimonial

"Hiring Shannon from Marryment was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

Although we hired her for month-of coordination, Shannon became a resource and support far beyond what we expected. For the three months leading up to our wedding, she was responsive, proactive, and always available to answer questions, offer guidance, and help us think through details we hadn’t even considered.

We came into the process fairly well organized and had planned much of the wedding ourselves, but Shannon immediately added value by asking thoughtful questions, identifying potential issues before they became problems, and helping us create a seamless plan for our entire wedding weekend. She wasn’t just there to execute a plan—she made the plan better.

During the wedding weekend, Shannon was exceptional. She expertly managed our rehearsal, coordinated with every vendor, kept everyone on schedule, served as a resource for our guests, and handled countless behind-the-scenes logistics. Just as importantly, she brought a calm, reassuring presence. Whenever stress started to build—for us, our families, or our wedding party—Shannon helped everyone stay grounded and focused on what mattered most.

We had completed much of the wedding setup before she arrived, but Shannon somehow elevated everything she touched. She refined displays, adjusted details, and made every space feel more polished, cohesive, and beautiful. She has an incredible eye for presentation and didn’t just execute our vision—she made it even better.

One moment that truly demonstrated who Shannon is happened when a member of our wedding party experienced a medical issue. Shannon quietly stepped in, made sure they were cared for, and handled the situation without ever interrupting our day or adding to our stress. In fact, we didn’t even realize what had happened until afterward. That level of professionalism, compassion, and composure is extraordinary. She didn’t just take care of us—she took care of the people we love. That was far beyond anything we expected and speaks volumes about the kind of person she is.

Because of Shannon, we were able to truly experience our wedding day instead of managing it. We never had to think about timelines, vendors, setup, or logistics. We were simply able to be fully present with our family and friends, soak in every moment, and trust that everything was under control.

At the end of the night, that trust never wavered. While we enjoyed the final moments of our wedding, Shannon seamlessly coordinated teardown with our family and friends, ensured everything was packed correctly, and even loaded our personal items directly into my sister’s car. We left knowing everything was in good hands, allowing us to simply enjoy the end of an unforgettable day.

Shannon is organized, professional, kind, detail-oriented, incredibly capable, and genuinely invested in the people she works with. She made our wedding day feel effortless, even though we know an enormous amount of work was happening behind the scenes.

One of the biggest surprises was how many of our guests commented on how amazing she was. Family, friends, and vendors alike noticed her professionalism, warmth, calm demeanor, and ability to keep everything running smoothly. She wasn’t just our coordinator—she became a trusted resource for everyone throughout the weekend.Shannon’s services accounted for just over 4% of our wedding budget, yet if we had to do it all over again, she’d be one of the first vendors we’d book. No other investment had a greater impact on our ability to relax, be present, and fully enjoy our wedding day. The peace of mind she provided was truly priceless.

We cannot recommend Shannon highly enough. Every couple hopes their coordinator will keep the day on schedule. Shannon did that and so much more—she elevated our vision, cared for our loved ones, protected our experience, and gave us the priceless gift of simply being the bride and groom. If Shannon is available for your wedding, hire her. You won’t regret it!"
