Bridal Super Heroes!

Kelly and Michelle were AMAZING. My day was absolutely perfect! They were prepared, attentive and on point. If anything did come up, I wouldn't even know because they took care of it all. They are amazing at what they do, very personable, reliable and professional. I would (and have) recommended Gifted Events NJ to all my soon to be brides! If you are looking for a planner or a day of coordinator do not hesitate to contact them! It's like planning a wedding with your best friends! Thank you again for helping my dream wedding come to life!

You need Kelly & her team!!!!

Kelly is the best of the best!!! Kelly came early on in my wedding planning journey and it was one of the best decisions I could've possibly made. She gave me guidance on vendors to book that aligned with my price point but also that matched me and my fiancé's vibes (which is way more important than you would realize in the wedding planning process) She is so knowledgeable, professional, organized, such a good eye for design, so so detailed oriented, sweet and every other vendor I booked also had such lovely things to say about her and how easy she is to work with. I don't know how I would have survived wedding planning without her - she kept me on track with what I should be doing each month as well as keep track of budget and all invoices, and also gave me creative ideas for cute little touches and details for my wedding that I wouldn't of thought of myself. We created an entire mood board for the wedding and really helped me figure out the vision and was such a huge help in finalizing what our florals were going to look like. She was also a great sounding board for professional advice at times when I was being indecisive. She attended meetings with me and my mom towards the end of planning and asked all the important questions and tidbits that wouldn't have even run through my mind. On wedding day, Kelly & Annemarie were phenomenal and such a great support system for not just me but my entire bridal party. From the minute they arrived they were getting stuff done!!! Annemarie steamed my veil and kept track of my laundry list of family photos (which is no easy task keeping my family members attention)!! I knew they were there and it was just a huge sigh of relief - Kelly kept everyone organized and on-time according to the day of schedule she created and ensured that all my decor and everything I envisioned was exactly how I wanted it. I know venues tell you that you don't need a planner because you have your attendants and their team to assist but it is just not comparable. My venue staff was amazing as well but without Kelly and her team it would definitely have been a bit more chaotic on wedding day! I truly don't know how couples don't hire a wedding planner, it is truly worth the invest and worth every single penny!! If you can, I can not recommend Kelly enough!!! Our wedding day was a dream come true and everything I ever wanted and so so much of that is thanks to Kelly for executing it so beautifully. SHE IS AMAZING!!! If she's available for your wedding date, run-don't walk to book her!!! WE LOVE YOU KELLY and thank you thank you thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You're so exceptional at what you do!!!

Cannot recommend enough

Kelly and the rest of her team at gifted events are the best in the industry. Kelly stepped in after things did not work out with our original planner, and truly saved the day and made the wedding planning process fun and stress free.

Prior to the wedding Kelly was extremely responsive and amazing with communication. She provided amazing vendor recommendations and set up check ins to make sure everything was running smoothly. She also took the time to get to know my husband and I and it made the experience much more personable. Gifted has amazing vendor relationships as well who were already familiar with our venue as well, which helped tremendously when planning day of logistics.

On the day of, Ann Marie and Gabby from the team were on site ant the venue. They did an amazing job, making sure the day ran as smooth as possible and really made it a dream come true.

I will definitely keep them in mind for future events and recommend gifted events to our newly engaged friends, truly cannot thank them enough!

so professional and helpful- couldn’t imagine my wedding day without them.

Kelly and the team at gifted events are so skilled and so professional, it made all the difference on my wedding day. I got married September 21, 2024 and the gifted events team made the day run so seamlessly. Of course things went wrong behind the scenes, but they had quick solutions and really were on top of every little detail throughout the day. This allowed my husband and I, and our families, to enjoy the wedding day because we knew Kelly had everything under control. We also had a large wedding with 273 guests and it was really the most perfect day all thanks to the giftedevents team. I would recommend them to anyone that’s planning any kind of gathering or celebration because they are so knowledgeable and have all the contacts in the industry to help make your celebration 10/10

Kelly and Gifted Events

Kelly was my wedding planner from the very beginning which was the full service wedding planning. Without her I honestly would have been lost. She was professional, but made me feel comfortable talking with her, bouncing ideas back and forth, and helped ease the wedding planning stress. I knew all along how valuable she was to me, but this really showed on the wedding day. Everything flowed seamlessly and there was not one hiccup throughout the day. So many of my family members even said they noticed how she didn’t miss a beat and was on top of everything throughout the day. If you’re looking for design help/vendor suggestions/ organization/ good communication/ and a seamless wedding day look no further and work with Kelly at Gifted Events !

A must have

Had my wedding in Feb 2024 at The Park Savoy and it would not have went as smoothly and amazing if it wasn’t for Kelly and Gifted Events. She pays the closest attention to detail and is with you every step of the way from planning until the day of. Always answered all of my questions and gave the best advice/ insight and is such an amazing, kind, easy going person. The day of the wedding I did not have to worry about a thing. All of my family, friends, bridesmaids and guests were in awe of how amazing and attentive Kelly and her team was. I cannot recommend Kelly and Gifted Events more!

Best Wedding Planner & Team Hands Down!

Hiring Kelly & her team was the BEST decision I ever made. She made sure my wedding day ran flawlessly. Everything was on time. She was in contact with the vendors months ahead to make sure they knew the correct times to arrive for the wedding day. She was their direct contact when they came to the venue all questions went through her it just made my day so much more enjoyable! I literally had nothing to worry about. Best money spent!
