Best Wedding Planning/Coordination

You NEED to hire Gillian for your wedding day! We had partial planning and she went above and beyond many times while working with us! I am a super type A person, but I really wanted a professional who I absolutely trusted to be able to take over for me on our day. We wanted the true stress-free experience to be able to completely enjoy our day without worrying or micromanaging all the details. Gillian allowed us to be totally in the moment and enjoy the special day with our family and friends. If there were any mishaps, I had absolutely no idea. To me, the entire day was perfect! Her style is also amazing and the rentals were the perfect addition!

Beyond Wow

When our original wedding planner closed her business, Gillian McSherry of Events by Gillian & Co. stepped in and absolutely saved the day. From the moment she joined our planning process, she went above and beyond every expectation. We had the partial planning package, but Gillian made it feel like full-service care in every way.

She immediately understood our vision — she just got our vibe — and brought every detail to life with incredible precision and creativity. Her attention to detail is unmatched, and her calm professionalism made the entire experience stress-free.

What truly made the day so special was how flawlessly everything came together. As the mother of the bride, I was able to spend every precious moment with my daughter on her fairy-tale day without a single worry. Walking out to see everything exactly as we had dreamed — it took my breath away. Our guests are still raving about how stunning the ceremony, venue, and reception were.

I cannot recommend Gillian and her team highly enough for any event. She is a true professional, an absolute class act, and someone who will make your vision come to life more beautifully than you could imagine.

Gillian & her team are the BEST planners!

When looking for wedding planners for our June 2024 wedding, I immediately clicked with Gillian and hired her after our first meeting for her partial planning services. Gillian was AMAZING to work with! She spent a lot of time making sure she understood our vision for our big day and was always in communication with us and all our other vendors. I cannot emphasize how amazing her design guides are; she completely visualized our day for us in a way we didn't know was possible! Which, as a very visual person, made planning so much less stressful as I could literally see our design ideas and décor laid out at our venue and church. Gillian is so incredibly organized, detailed, responsive and kind. I loved working with her so much that my sister hired her for her wedding four months later! I could not recommend Gillian and her team enough; if you are looking for a planner that will bring your Pinterest board to life, help you visualize your day and make your day stress-free, look no further!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
