I began organizing our wedding two years ago when my husband was away on deployment and I needed assistance with the planning. I heard about Events by Dragonfly and Gretchen through our venue. Before reaching out to her, I contacted a few other vendors in alphabetical order, but none of them seemed like the right fit for us. However, from the first chat with Gretchen, I had a feeling she was the one! Not only is she incredibly professional, but she also became like an older sister, a friend, a bridesmaid, a maid of honor, and a best friend all rolled into one at times! She took on multiple roles for me during the wedding planning and on the big day that I'll never forget.

With Gretchen, you don't have to worry about a thing! If you have a concern or question, she's already got it covered! I hired her for a partial package, and we collaborated on various vendors and tasks. She kept me organized, even in areas where I had to take the lead in hiring vendors. Gretchen is super professional, always on time, on top of things, and a great communicator. She's a total boss lady! She's your advocate and an expert in her field, which is a huge help for stressed-out brides like me who were balancing full-time school, work, and wedding planning.

Gretchen led us through the entire planning process, ensuring everything ran smoothly. She handled all the coordination in the best way possible, answering all our questions and reminding me if I forgot something. Gretchen assisted us in selecting vendors, reviewing contracts to protect us, offering design input, and taking charge of our day-of wedding planning and florals. She excels at what she does and is a valuable resource.

Gretchen is a fantastic team player who knows how to handle stressful situations discreetly, ensuring that neither the couple nor the guests are aware of any hiccups. She's the best, and I can't recommend her enough. She was there for me when I needed her the most, like when my dress zipper got stuck, and she fixed it within seconds. She even had spare lipstick in her pocket for me when I couldn't find mine. On the wedding day, she'll be your guiding hand, thinking and planning on your behalf to ensure everything goes smoothly. I can't stress enough what a blessing she is—look no further!

Gretchen and her team were AMAZING. We simply would not have had a successful wedding without her help, on the day of as well as the months beforehand. On the day of, I didn't worry about a single logistical thing. If I needed anything, Gretchen was there after one text. They set up all of our DIYs/decorations even BETTER than I envisioned. We also used this company for florals, and they turned out gorgeous. The colors matched PERFECTLY with the bridesmaids dresses/our wedding colors. I squealed when I saw it all put together!! I'm so glad that we hired Gretchen/Dragonfly/Nova Florals for our wedding.

Gretchen was our day of coordinator at our wedding at Morais Vineyards this August. She was absolutely amazing!!!!! She is so organized, supportive, detail oriented and was just the best person to have with us to make our whole wedding day run like a well oiled machine. She was also our florist (with her company Nova Florals)… and it goes without saying how absolutely gorgeous and exquisite her floral arrangements and decorations were. We didn’t have to worry at all on our wedding day about timeline, flow, minute details, or guests’ needs. She took care of everything. She even helped bustle my dress and carry my veil during photos! look no further if you want your wedding day to be amazing
