    5 Star Wedding Coordinator

    Gillian is absolutely wonderful. She is so sweet, genuine, and professional. We cannot imagine our wedding day without her.
    We hired Gillian for day of coordination. I was able to meet with her/ask her any questions throughout my planning process, which was fantastic. Her answers were always very prompt. Gillian was honest and gave her opinion about what she thought would work best, which we appreciated.

    On our wedding day, a huge storm rolled in right before the ceremony. She was calm, cool and collected and navigated the situation seamlessly! We love Gillian and definitely recommend hiring her to make you wedding day stress free!

    Surpassed all of our expectations

    Gillian went above and beyond to make sure our day went exactly how we envisioned. She was intentional, driven, and professional. She made it a priority to get to know us better as individuals and as a couple. She is meticulous, has a brilliant vision, and has a great relationship with many other vendors. Not only did Gillian go above and beyond the months leading up to the wedding, but the day of she handled everything so my husband and I could enjoy our day. Her passion and skill set is something that comes naturally; however, her drive to invest her time into learning how to build her company is something that didn’t go unnoticed. As she worked on planning her own wedding, not once did I feel she was putting our wedding on the back burner. Going into my wedding day there was an overwhelming feeling of comfort knowing that Gillian was there - she worked tirelessly to make sure we had the details in order. Without Gillian, there is a lot of things that would have easily fell through the cracks. Her experience is evident as she organizes and asks you specific detailed questions that help curate and create your dream day! We cannot speak higher of Gillian and will absolutely be using her in the future.

    10 Stars!!!

    Where do I even start with how awesome Gillian was to work with!? I guess I should start at the beginning. From the very first interaction with Gillian, she was prompt with responding to set up a time to chat via zoom about our wedding plans. From that conversation plus scrolling her beautiful website & social media accounts, we knew she was the one!
    We hired Gillian for partial planning & it was pretty much smooth sailing from there. From her inquisitive questionnaires and deciphering my mile long Pinterest page, Gillian created a design guide that literally made me tear up upon reviewing. That design guide helped us hone in on what we needed to focus on to make our dreams a reality. The day of, it really felt like the design guide came to life!
    Even with the insane wedding schedule that has occurred in the last 2 years (plus planning her own wedding!) Gillian was always able to respond within a day or 2. She was able to suggest venues, vendors & made sure we were getting the information we needed from them.
    The day of truly felt like a dream! We had walkthroughs & detail sessions lead by Gillian that helped make that possible. As far as we know, the day came & went without a hitch. Gillian & her assistant for the day, Karen handled everything with ease, grace & a constant smile. We never had to think about anything other than being together, with our friends & family. It was a perfect day!
    I know you aren’t supposed to give others wedding advise but I cannot suggest Gillian & her team enough! I truly admire this woman & I cannot wait to see what becomes of her future endeavors. I’d give Gillian 10 stars if I could!
