Gwen was incredible to work with! We had weekly check-ins starting 6 weeks before the wedding to make sure we were on track. She offered thoughtful suggestions to help enhance our special day and was so friendly with all of our family and friends. During our wedding weekend she kept all the stress off of our plates, and made sure we stayed on schedule and were fed. We were able to have a stress-free, absolutely beautiful wedding weekend because of Gwen's hard work. Could not recommend working with her enough!

We were definitely the types to wonder if we needed a day-of coordinator. Our wedding was at my parents' home and we enjoyed dealing in details ourselves. But all the reviews I read said that we would find out we needed one, and we wanted to try to relieve hosting pressure on my parents. Enter Gwen of Fiddleheads and Finery. She can plan everything for you, or she can swoop in at the last minute to take care of all the details you didn't realize you even needed to think of until the week-of. Gwen did the latter for us, and she did it with a smile, ease, kindness, and confidence that put us at ease, too. Oh, that's right. I didn't want to lead people through the ceremony rehearsal myself. Nor would I have time to be setting out name cards and flower arrangements in my dress, or wiping down chairs at the ceremony site after a thunderstorm swept through, or saving the photographer's camera gear from said thunderstorm. I also wouldn't want to buy table name stands or find-your-seat easels, or replenish our stock of wedding favors throughout the night. Nor would I have the capacity to coordinate shuttle van drivers and make sure guests got where they needed to go and take care of all the other needs that popped up for guests over the course of the night. Gwen and her assistant, Mayda, took care of all of this. Knowing that someone who had supported dozens of weddings was there with an eye to filling in all the gaps that appeared was reassuring and allowed us to simply enjoy ourselves. So, do please consider heeding the advice of those who recommend a day-of coordinator even if you think you might be able to manage without, and definitely hire Gwen if your wedding is in New England. She'll be there for and with you in just the way you want her to be, and allow you to be in the moment and take advantage of all the work you have done leading up to your big day.

We would definitely recommend Gwen! She was a great guiding resource during the wedding planning process. She was always available and replied promptly to any questions we had. She had strong relationships with our vendors which made us feel like coordinating was easy and that we were in good hands. Her support setting up the venue and day of wedding was so appreciated and helpful. We and our family could truly enjoy the day. If you are on the fence at all let this be your sign to hire Gwen. I don't know how we would have done this without her!
