💗 MEET THE OWNER OF LARGER THAN LIFE EVENT PLANNING  AND POLK COUNTY WHO’S WHO IN BUSINESS 💛

Hello! I’m Shaquilla Williams Shannon, Founder and CEO of Larger Than Life Event Planning, Custom Designs & Treats.

I’m a luxury floral and event designer, global educator, business mentor, speaker and proud U.S. Navy veteran. I’m also a wife, mother of three and a woman of faith who believes in serving with purpose and creating with excellence.

Celebrating 10 years in business, I’ve had the privilege of transforming spaces, celebrating life’s milestones and helping aspiring entrepreneurs grow their creativity into businesses.

My approach starts with listening to your vision—how you want your celebration to look, feel and be remembered. From the first conversation to the finishing touches, I bring creativity, thoughtful planning and attention to detail.

✨ HOW WE CAN WORK TOGETHER ✨

🌸 Wedding planning, floral design and décor
🎈 Baby showers, children’s parties and birthdays
🥂 Corporate events and special celebrations
✨ Balloons, draping, tablescapes and full room transformations
🍰 Custom treats and dessert table styling
🎓 Hands-on floral and event design workshops
💼 Business mentorship and creative education

Beyond designing events, I’m passionate about helping others build confidence, sharpen their skills and pursue their goals. Through workshops, mentorship and my work as a Central Florida SCORE mentor, I share practical lessons from my own entrepreneurial journey.

My heart behind everything I do is simple:
“Luxury isn’t just aesthetics—it’s how you make your clients feel.”

Based in Polk County, Florida, I serve Lakeland, Winter Haven, Tampa, Clearwater, Orlando and beyond.

Whether you’re planning a celebration or ready to invest in your creative future, I’d love to connect!

Ten years in business taught me that talent may get people’s attention, but systems, professionalism and consistency build a lasting brand.

Beautiful designs matter—but so do contracts, pricing, communication, preparation and delivering the experience you promised.

What is one business lesson you had to learn the hard way?

Talent gets attention. Systems build longevity.

After 10 years in business, I know that beautiful work is only part of the assignment. Professionalism, preparation, pricing and client experience matter just as much.

What lesson has business taught you?

This is what happens when vision, technique, and business knowledge come together. ✨🌸
