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 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!!

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!!
