Nine years ago, Shannon and AJ founded Integrity Events & Design, driven by a shared passion for creating unforgettable celebrations. What they didn’t expect was how deeply they would become woven into the love stories of so many couples. “I’d been in the event planning space for years and always dreamed of owning my own business,” Shannon says. “AJ came from the hospitality world, so once we got married, it felt natural to combine our strengths and go all in.” Today, as co-owners, they pour their hearts into every celebration, crafting personalized experiences and one-of-a-kind designs that make each wedding as meaningful and unique as the couple at its center.
When Sumi and Jesal reached out to Integrity Events & Design, they had a clear vision and needed the right team to help bring it to life. Shannon and her team stepped in to fine-tune the logistics and ensure every detail ran smoothly across their multi-day celebration. “I love being able to create different themes and aesthetics for each event we plan,” Shannon shares. “We partnered with Sumi and Jesal to bring their vision to life, ensuring every moment felt intentional, personal, and exactly as they dreamed it would.”
To ensure each day felt distinct yet cohesive, Shannon and her team helped weave a narrative through every detail. “The couple and I got along great,” she says. “Bringing their vision to life down to the smallest touch was a priority. We wanted every event to feel personal, yet seamlessly connected across the weekend.”
Integrity Events & Design offers a range of packages tailored to each couple’s needs. Sumi and Jesal selected Shannon and her team to play a key role in creating timelines and floor plans, managing vendor payments, and coordinating the rehearsal, ceremony, and reception. The Integrity team helped transform all the planning into a weekend that felt seamless, personal, and true to the couple’s style. “Connecting couples with top-tier local vendors is one of the most rewarding parts of what we do. Fort Worth has such an incredible creative community, and I love collaborating with them,” Shannon shares.
While Shannon leads the charge on planning, design, and coordination, AJ and his team of mixologists add their own layer of magic behind the bar by curating unforgettable cocktail experiences that feel just as thoughtful as the rest of the celebration. “When couples include our bar service, they’re not just getting drinks, they’re getting a custom experience,” AJ says. “From private tastings to bar menu design that ties into their vibe and vision, it’s one more way we make sure every detail feels intentional.”
During Sumi and Jesal’s Sangeet—a vibrant pre-wedding celebration—AJ and his team delivered a bespoke cocktail experience at the CR Smith Museum in Fort Worth. Guests sipped signature drinks while enjoying lively music and dance performances, setting the tone for a weekend full of joy, culture, and connection.
The day of the ceremony was equally unforgettable. Surrounded by loved ones beneath a stunning floral arch, Sumi and Jesal said their vows in a light and airy ceremony. Later, the celebration shifted to a speakeasy-inspired reception, where every detail echoed the couple’s personality and style. “Each element told its own story,” Shannon says. “We love bringing a couple’s vision to life in a way that feels meaningful and intentional.”
For Shannon and AJ, it’s never just about planning weddings; it’s about creating meaningful moments. “From start to finish, we’re all in,” Shannon says. “We take pride in our work because every couple deserves to feel like their celebration was made just for them, with heart, intention, and a whole lot of love.”
