Lux Events LLC

Lux Events was a dream finally turned reality when Shannon took a leap of faith and decided to follow her passion of creating amazing events. Her interest peaked ten years ago after she began hosting various private events and dinner parties for friends and family.

"I really just loved to get people together. I love to eat too! So I found myself planning community events, trips, dinner parties, reunions, birthdays, baby showers, Easter egg hunt cook outs, I mean my ideas were endless and I just enjoyed planning every detail and hosting them."

Shannon began planning corporate events for Christopher Newport University's Academic Centers Office in the start of January 2016. Her love for events and marketing flourished as she assisted with guest lectures, conferences, workshops, panels, and an awards luncheon.

"Work was not work when an event was coming up! My desk was never clear. I really enjoyed the process of having to make sure every detail, minor or large, had to be planned for. I loved the challenge!"​

Now with the day to day of managing Lux Events, she has grown to thrive on the excitement of planning her own events and parties.

"It has been an absolute pleasure! I get so excited thinking about how awesome I'm going to make an event! I'm a people pleaser and I love connecting and collaborating ideas with the client, vendors, and event contributors for a customized experience. I literally have met some amazing people and gained a lot of great friendships along the way!"
