Austin Jackson

Officiant/
Event Coordinator

I am Austin.

I am Shauna's husband. I started working in the wedding industry when I was a teenager. I pretty much taught her everything she knows. (Kidding, she is way better than I ever was.) I am currently a pastor and work full time running aRay of Remodeling. I do enjoy every chance I get working events with my wife and her team.

Courtney

Wedding Planner

Hi, I'm Courtney!

I started off planning events for family and friends, and became a professional wedding coordinator in September 2020. Planning and organizing is truly my happy place! I have known Shauna for over 20 years, and was so excited to be able to work for her when she started her own business. I got married on Halloween in 2016, have two amazing children and two dogs! Most of my days are filled with family, I have a passion for tacos and love to read! I cant wait to help you with your next event!

Meghan

Wedding Planner

Hi, I’m Meghan!

Wifey, Momma of two, and event planning/decorating enthusiast! My love for both started my junior year of high school when I was part of our prom planning committee. Fun Fact: I also attended Shauna's wedding that year! I’m a “planner” by nature and enjoy seeing those plans come together. I’ve always thought of wedding planning as a dream job! Like other brides, I was planning my wedding even before my husband and I started dating. My heart is to serve others by helping both brides and grooms have their special day turn out better than they could have ever imagined!

Taylor

Wedding Coordinator

Hello, I am Taylor.

I started working with the aRay of Events team in 2023. I love decorating and watching every wedding come to life. My favorite part of being a wedding coordinator is listening to the couple say their vows. <3

When I am not working weddings, you can find me reading, camping, kayaking, hunting, hanging out with friends or working on my physical therapy degree.

Kaitlin Ray

Event Planner

Hello, I’m Kaitlin Ray!

I live in Charleston, MO and am the main Wedding Planner for the SEMO Branch of aRay of Events.

I am a cousin of Shauna Ray Jackson. You could say a passion for event coordinating and planning runs in the family. I am a single dog mom of a sweet mini Australian shepherd, G Ray. Her and I love traveling and being outdoors.
