Gabby was the reason our wedding day went perfectly! We were so nervous planning our wedding from afar that we would miss something and have something go wrong the day of. She thought of every detail, gave the best advice and put mine and my family’s mind at ease. I strongly recommend working with Gabby because her and her husband truly know this industry like the back of their hand. Even throughout the reception they made sure we were happy and did everything in their power to make the day beautiful.

Simply not enough amazing words to describe Gabby and her assistant Emily! She has a true passion for what she does and carries herself with grace!
She made everything flow smoothly and when issues arose I didn't even know because she was already handling them! Hiring Gabby was the most wonderful decision we've ever made! She is professional, knowledgeable, flexible, patient, kind and genuine! If I had advice for anyone please, please, please hire Gabby to assist in what generally is a very stressful time planning a wedding! SO much love to Gabby and Emily!!!!

I cannot begin to describe what a great experience my husband and I had working with Gabby and After 5 Events for our wedding day in June 2017. We keep saying that hiring Gabby was easily the best decision we made in planning this wedding. Gabby is reliable, honest, kind, knowledgeable and a true pleasure to work with. I am so grateful for all she did and she really went above and beyond to make our entire weekend run smoothly. We encountered a number of stressful issues with other vendors throughout the planning process but Gabby always remained calm, provided us with sound advice and took the issues into her own hands to find solutions.

She was an incredible resource to have in picking wedding invitations, selecting reception decor, working with our caterer, floral arrangements and making overall planning decisions. She has an impeccable sense of style and would be an asset to have in any big event. I would HIGHLY recommend Gabby for any event and hope to work with her again in the future!

I can't give enough gold stars to After 5 Events. Gabby met and exceeded my expectations from start to finish. Gabby met with my parents and I before booking her services to have our questions answered and get some more information about day of consulting services. We were all impressed by her knowledge and professionalism; she asked great questions about us and our vision to truly get a sense of what we were hoping to walk into at our wedding reception. Gabby made several site visits (both with us and on her own), she reached out to vendors to coordinate the schedule of deliveries and setup, she dotted every "i" and crossed every "t" along the way, and she kept us in the loop via email or phone call so we always knew what to expect, or if anything was needed from us. I trusted Gabby completely to deliver our vision on our wedding day, and our reception was even more beautiful than I expected. She kept a close eye on all the facets of our reception, and someone from her team even left during the reception to get more mixers for our bar when we were running low ! She kept in contact with the vendors to be sure all deliveries would run smoothly, she kept the flow of the day going right on schedule, she checked in with me and my husband throughout the day/evening to be sure we were happy and didn't need anything, and she organized the venue clean-up like a pro. I have recommended Gabby to my friends and family five times over and will continue to do so in the future. Thank you, Gabby !!

Gabby helped make everything we could have dreamed of, googled, pinterested, etc come to life and then some! She helped us with every step of our decision making, searching, and putting everything together. She is a wealth of knowledge and for sure an expert at what she does. There was no idea that ever stumped her. She literally made anything we wanted happen. There is no way we would have pulled our day off without her.!! I would recommend Gabby to anyone who wants their day to be flawless and perfect!

Stop reading this now and call Gabby to help make your day amazing! She has the experience to guide you to the right vendors and takes the time to get to know you and your husband style. I was a out of town bride and an extreme type A person gabby was able to help us make informed decisions and helped make sure everything was perfect for our wedding. I didn't want our bridal party or parents to have to lift a finger and gabby was able to make that happen. If you are an out of town or in town just starting this process we would highly recommend you hire gabby right away. Also she is just one of the nicest people and will make you feel like you have know her for years! Buffalo brides do yourself a favor and call her!

We are so grateful for all that Gabby did to make our wedding weekend so special. She is incredibly sweet, thoughtful, knowledgeable and understanding... We trusted her with many details, timing & scheduling and it was such a relief to have her to rely on. She went above and beyond throughout the entire process, making wedding planning from North Carolina to New York seamless. I can't recommend After 5 Events enough! Her husband, Matt, assisted her throughout the weekend and they make an incredible team! Thank you guys! We loved working with you!!

Gabby and her husband Matt at After 5 made the entire wedding planning process so much more enjoyable than I ever thought possible. Having them on our team allowed my husband, parents, and myself to relax and enjoy our day knowing they were behind the scenes pulling it all together! I pride myself on being very organized and a planner at heart, and although I may not have thought having a planner was necessary at first I was truly won over by Gabby and wouldn't have wanted to try to navigate wedding planning without her! Not only are they reasonably priced but in the end I believe their recommendations and knowledge of the options in Buffalo actually saved us money.

As we were planning the wedding from out of town, having Gabby was invaluable as she was able to set up and facilitate meetings with vendors around our schedule, even planning tastings for us over a holiday weekend. Every idea that popped into our head during the planning process she seamlessly made a reality, often priced much more reasonably that what I would have found on my own. Gabby was also both flexible and patient, dealing with all of the logistics as my mother and I changed our opinions several times on many different details!

As it came closer to the day of Gabby continued to go above and beyond including printing all of our wedding programs for us to save money, assembling and delivering hotel bags for our guests, and calling all of our vendors to confirm details for the day of. When I walked into our reception I was blown away at how she pulled everything together and our guests could not stop raving about all the little details she made possible! The whole night long Gabby was there checking in and accommodating what popped up from moving our head table to allow for more dancing space to refilling our drinks. I am able to look back on planning as enjoyable and had nothing but fun at our wedding because of her efforts. Thank you again for everything Gabby and Matt!

Gabby and Matt are an amazing team who provide outstanding wedding planning and day of service.
From the first meeting right up until they helped load wedding gifts into our hotel room, they were true professionals and always there when you needed them. Gabby is creative, resourceful, flexible and has the patience of a saint. She guided us gracefully through each and every decision and put it all together into one fabulous event. Matt is great. He helped direct rehearsal and also got us all into church and down the aisle on time and in good order. He also provided great suggestions for wine with dinner.
After 5 Events made my daughter's wedding everything she dreamed of and they provided the services I needed to relax and enjoy all the planning. I would recommend them without reservation.

I can honestly say that I could not have made it through planning my wedding without Gabby and Matt. Being an out-of-state bride, I did not know where to start with vendors and did not have the time to travel to Buffalo visiting vendors. Right from the start, Gabby was extremely organized and mapped out a game plan. 99% of the vendors I hired came recommended by Gabby and they all did a spectacular job. Gabby has great attention to detail and was extremely responsive to my calls and emails. She went above and beyond to ensure that everything went off without a hitch and brought the picture of my wedding that I had in my head to fruition. The reception area looked incredible, and I literally said "Wowww" when I first peaked inside. The ceremony and reception went off seamlessly. Matt was there every step of the way on the day of my wedding, and just knowing he was there to handle anything, no matter how big or small, was a huge stress relief and really allowed me to relax and have a blast on my wedding day. He even got a needle and thread so one of my bridesmaids could sew my bustle after a hook fell off in between the ceremony and reception! Not only are Gabby and Matt phenomenal at what they do, they are wonderful people. If you are contemplating whether to hire a wedding planner, I can't recommend After 5 Events enough. Thank you for making my wedding day perfect!

I love working with Gabby on calligraphy jobs! She always anticipates what I'll need, gives me the right info I need to work with a client, and gets the supplies I need (envelopes, place cards) to me in a timely fashion. If I have any questions, she gets back to me quickly. I'm positive this absolute professionalism carries through in all of her wedding and other event planning - Gabby and After Five Events are gems!!

Rev. Sue Ellen Samuels Rev. Sue Ellen Samuels Wedding Officiants

As a wedding officiant, I have arrived at a rehearsal with the bride and groom assuming that I will be performing the rehearsal. That is not my expertise! I have very limited knowledge of the finer details and I do feel bad when I see them at a loss for answers. I see many brides that think they can handle everything on their own...but when they have their arm wrapped around their father...waiting to walk down that isle...they have no idea...no control over what is going on with the order of the wedding party, the groomsman's positions, bridal party flowers, the timing of the music, or any of the other last minute details. Gabby and Matt are so wonderful to work with. Their extensive knowledge, expertise, and experience is always the calming force in any situation. I have had the pleasure of working with them many times, and even in some very chaotic situations, they always stay unbelievably cool, calm and collected! They take charge and stays in charge...carrying through until each and every detail is dealt with to the total satisfaction and delight of the bride, groom, and their families. Why not reduce your anxiety...enjoy your day!!! Your excitement should always out way your stress!! Put your trust in AFTER 5 EVENTS!! I would recommend their services to everyone who is planning a wedding. You will be so very happy you did!!
