About Shannon Combs

Lux Events was a dream finally turned reality when I took a leap of faith and decided to follow my passion of creating amazing events. My interest peaked ten years ago after I 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." ​ I began planning corporate events for Christopher Newport University's Academic Centers Office in the start of January 2016. My love for events and marketing flourished as I 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 owning my own event planning company, Lux Events, LLC I have really grown to thrive on the excitement of planning my own large scale events and festivals as well as working with numerous non-profit organizations. ​ "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!"
