About Stellaluna Events
Stellaluna Events was born out of a passion for creating fulfilling experiences. We don't believe weddings are about choosing certain decor just because its trendy or overspending just to impress your guests. Your wedding or event should be about gathering a group of your favorite people together to celebrate. It's about creating a meaningful memory.
The Stellaluna couple chooses soft seating for their wedding not because it will make great photos, but because it will make their guests comfortable and encourage meaningful conversation. They can't wait for the band to play the perfect ‘get up and dance song’ and doesn't worry over whether the candlesticks are gold versus bronze.
We love couples who throw out tradition. Let us encourage you to do it differently.

Meet Hannah
Hannah has a love for planning and organizing that has carried on throughout her life. In college she dipped her toe into the wedding industry and knew it was the path for her.

Shelby Prins
Event Designer



Meet Shelby
Shelby has always had a love for finding unique ways to be creative and that translated perfectly into the world of weddings. After designing her first wedding she was hooked! She found it very fun learning about each couple and finding creative ways to incorporate who they are into their special day. Fun fact: Shelby's wedding was zero waste! Shelby and her husband try to be as sustainable and environmentally conscious as possible in their day to day. That was a big way they were able to incorporate who they were into their wedding.
In Shelby's free time, she stays busy with toddler twins June and Millie. She loves getting outside, hiking, biking, going up north and traveling around with her husband Jonathan and her girls. When she can find the time, she loves watercolor painting.

Maggie Mutch
Wedding Coordinator

Meet Maggie
Maggie first started her education in event planning at Grand Valley State University in 2019 in the Hospitality and Tourism Management program. Her love for weddings first sparked when she worked her first wedding at a country club. Watching the love spread through the room as the bride made her way down the aisle. Her interest only grew from there to then taking an internship with a local Grand Rapids catering company where she learned more about event planning from a vendor perspective.
When it comes to weddings, she is very detail oriented and looks to make the moments perfect. She wants every bride to have the sweetest experience through the whole process.
In her free time she likes to go hiking near the Lakeshore, set up a hammock, and relax with a good book. She also enjoys a nice night out with friends or family.

"Working with Stellaluna Events was an absolute DREAM. Their whole staff from booking a consultation to the execution of the day was everything I could have hoped for and more. The Stellaluna team was so proactive and communicative that the day went out without a hitch. I felt informed of what was needed from me, by when, what decisions I needed to make, and what the suggestions were. They took my vision and brought it to life. I am forever grateful and HIGHLY recommend them. Happiest day of my life and so grateful Stellaluna helped create that for us."

"Working with Stellaluna Events was one of the best decisions I made during wedding planning! Not only are they on top of every detail and professional - but they were truly so easy to work with and made me feel some comfortable throughout the entire planning process. Always pro-active and ready to help out in anyway that they could. The wedding day could not have gone smoother - I didn't have to think about a single detail because they were always 10 steps ahead and guiding us along! Truly so grateful to have them part of our special day. Would highly recommend!!"
