Must Needed Wedding Coordinator

Where do I even begin? Gillian - you need her in your life if you are planning a wedding. She single handedly was the best vendor I invested in for my wedding. I hired her as my day of coordinator and she saved the day MULTIPLE times. She was worth every single penny I paid, for her and her talents. I had several meetings with her leading up to the wedding as she helped me plan the wedding down to minutes. I also rented all of my decor from her rental collection, which was so convenient as she set everything up and tore everything down at the end of the night. I did not have the stress of packing things up, taking them to the wedding, and setting it all up the morning of. Her and her team did all of that for me, plus it looked AMAZING! She is so attentive and detailed oriented, that I wouldn’t have known how to handle the stress of wedding planning without her. I could go on and on about how helpful she was, but to bore you with all of the little details, just take my word and HIRE HER! You will not be disappointed at all. Multiple things happened the days leading up to the wedding that she solved so quickly, and helped things run so smoothly the day of the wedding. Her and her team were lifesavers the actual day of the wedding too - from helping with a floral disaster, to overseeing my other vendors, to even helping me when my bustle broke (which lead to them helping me cut my train off hahaha), Gillian, Renee, and Kathy - you are all amazing. I loved having them apart of our special day. It would not have been anywhere near as amazing without them. I will forever recommend Gillian and her team to anyone and everyone getting married. You need them more than you know! Thank you again!!!

Hire Gillian ASAP

Gillian was a DREAM to work with. She was so communicative and always on top of everything! My now husband and I even work in the wedding industry and she still thought of things that never even crossed our minds. She was always so prepared and on top of things. To say that her and her team brought our dream wedding vision to life would be an understatement. Everything was even more beautiful than I could have imagined. I am a very type A person and to feel comfortable enough to fully trust Gillian and the fact that she would make sure everything was ok and turned out beautifully was so reassuring. Along with all of that, she is one of the nicest and sweetest people I have ever met. I will 1000% be referring her to everyone!

Gillian is a lifesaver!

Gillian was everything I could have asked for and more! She is so professional, organized, experienced and so sweet!
I booked the “Partial Planning Package” because I am NOT a planner. She helped with finding vendors/providing recs within my budget and vision, creating a budget excel sheet, communicating with vendors, walkthroughs of the venue, floor plan creation, design guide creation, coordinating drop offs/pick ups of decor for day of and so much more - I am FOREVER grateful! Her opinion was huge to me on basically everything leading up to the day of my wedding - so many times I was asking what she thought/what she would recommend on many different aspects. She is so knowledgeable about the wedding industry and knows exactly how your day should flow. The venue I used did not have any all inclusive packages and was on the 3rd floor of a residential building. Any issues that arose Gillian immediately had a solution, so I never had any regrets picking my venue (it was my dream venue!). She helped me with so many details that I would have NEVER thought of and her timeline was a lifesaver day of.
There was some hitches day of including other vendors (issues with table/chair delivery & no linens came!) and I had NO CLUE anything was going on, Gillian had everything under control and she only told me because I made her LOL! Otherwise I would have had no clue that anything went wrong at all.
My wedding day was literally a dream and my Pinterest board came to life. Gillian was a dream to work with and she made a VERY anxious bride feel excited and less stressed! I can’t recommend her enough!
