Best Wedding Planner Out There!

Gillian and her team were absolutely amazing. We did the partial planning package and it was perfect. There were so many moving parts to our day - lots of surprise performances and 250+ Guests...she handled this day and everything leading up to this day perfectly. She gave great advice, she helped with vendors, and her rentals were reasonable and so cute! Can't reccomend her and her team enough!

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!

Wedding Planner for our October wedding

Gillian and her team are the whole package. We dreamed up our day and they made it even more beautiful than we could have imagined. The whole process from the initial call to details calls and walkthroughs were so detailed and organized. All of our information could be referenced in a Google Drive which I loved. I thought I had considered all of the details until we got on our calls, and I quickly realized I had not, but Gillian and her team had. They truly think of every little thing and make sure it is perfect and planned out. We had a few "non-traditional" components in our wedding day (worship song during the ceremony, live music performances during cocktail hour, and a line dancing lesson to name a few) and they ran with them all and made sure everything flowed seamlessly. Every vendor Gillian recommended was absolutely wonderful to work with and got our vision. We were able to just enjoy our entire wedding day and be present because we knew we were in good hands. Our family and wedding guests are still complementing our wedding day for how beautiful the details were and how personal it was. Could not recommend Gillian and her team more for your big day!
