Hi, I’m Shyh Saenz.
I started Stay Present Events with one simple belief in mind: the most meaningful celebrations are the ones you actually get to experience.
No matter the event—a wedding, fundraiser, corporate gathering, or milestone celebration—you deserve to be fully present with the people around you, not worrying about timelines, vendor questions, or all the little details happening behind the scenes. That's where I come in.
Long before I launched Stay Present Events, creating organized, seamless experiences was something I naturally loved doing through my work. With years of professional event management experience, I've had the opportunity to coordinate events across the country—from throughout California to the Midwest, Washington, D.C., and beyond. Whether managing high-profile events, coordinating vendors, building timelines, overseeing budgets, or bringing together partners and stakeholders, I've always found the most rewarding part is making everything feel effortless for everyone else.
That passion became even stronger while serving as Maid of Honor in one of my closest friend's weddings, when the planner ghosted us just days before the big day. Watching someone I love spend what should have been one of the happiest weeks of her life worrying about logistics reminded me just how valuable dependable event coordination can be. It inspired me to turn something I was already passionate about into Stay Present Events.
Today, I bring that same calm, thoughtful, and detail-oriented approach to every event. Whether I'm coordinating a wedding, nonprofit fundraiser, corporate gathering, or community celebration, my goal is simple: to create an experience where everything runs smoothly, your guests feel taken care of, and you can truly enjoy every moment.
Stay present. I’ll handle the rest.
I'm so glad you're here, and I can't wait to celebrate with you.
