New Orleans wedding planner
It was great working with Kate. As a laid-back bride who was dreading wedding planning, she met me where I was. She set up regular check-ins to make sure that we were staying on top of planning. She is very knowledgeable in the New Orleans wedding scene and is able to make recs on vendors, decor, etc. She made the day of the wedding a breeze. I don't think we could have done it without her. I would recommend her to anyone!

Creative, resourceful, responsive. Couldn't have asked for more!
I'm so thankful for Kate from Gabrielle James Events! She made everything about planning our LARGE wedding feel easy. Even when the weather couldn't make up it's mind on our wedding day, she made sure that everything was set up to run smoothly and beautifully.
We wanted to go a non-traditional route, but Kate was never thrown off by our unique requests. She found so many ways to make our special day fit our vision perfectly! Our friends and family are still raving about the event, saying how it just felt like US.
Kate was also incredibly reliable and responsive, which took all the stress out of the process. We knew every step of the way that we could count on her. Thank you, Kate, for making our wedding the best day of our lives!!

Downing Tassey Review of Gabrielle James
Kate offers packages which allows the couple to decide how much responsibility to accept and how much help they will need. We did some of the work and Kate was always available to help us navigate the process. She provided references to vendors with her opinion as to their fit for our wedding. The process left us to interview the vendors which was very helpful. We selected the venue, caterer, band, florist and photographer from Kate's vendor network. The result was that our wedding impressed all of our guests, who never stopped showering us with compliments. Our wedding went off without any problems, something I understand rarely occurs. This was a result of Kate's extensive resources and experience.

Graduation Party
Kate was referred to me through a local florist. I was hosting a graduation party for my husband, and needed help picking out food/drink, decor, flowers, etc. She was able to set up the venue perfectly and all of her decor suggestions came together beautifully. The flow of the party was seamless and I was really able to enjoy the planning process as well as the party. Kate has a ton of contacts and all of the vendors were fantastic. Her attention to detail is incredible. I would absolutely work with her again!

Could't have done it without Kate!
We seriously feel so lucky to have found Kate for our wedding! We initially interviewed a few other planners, but was immediately drawn to Kate because she was very calm and seemed to really understand our vision/ have similar taste. She was also extremely fair cost wise and always had our budget in mind. She was a pleasure to work with and to have around on our big day- felt more like a friend!! Our wedding completely exceeded our expectations and I was able to relax because I knew everything was taken care of. We could not recommend Kate enough!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
