Best wedding coordinator ever!

Hiring Brittney at GLEP was one of the best wedding choices my husband and I made for our wedding day. I truly don't know what I would have done without Brittney. In addition to our usual monthly check in meetings, she was always available by text or email for anything I needed. I leaned on Brittney for everything - big concerns about the day of, and little concerns as small as where should I put my card box. She stood by my side through everything and I was SO much less stressed and was really put at ease having Brittney by my side. We had our wedding reception in a bank so we had to bring in everything from coat racks to tables and chairs to napkins. As you can imagine there were a LOT of people to hire, coordinate with, and plan for. Leading up to the wedding, Brittney made sure I was on track and not missing anything with my planning. She also created our entire wedding day timeline for us. Closer to the wedding, she confirmed all of my contracts for me and became the point person of contact. We held a special cultural ceremony during our reception and she even coordinated meeting up with our parents to pick up supplies and brought them with her the day of. The day of the wedding Brittney did SO MUCH! She made sure we stayed on track to our timeline, that all of the vendors were coordinated getting in/out of the bank in their certain timeslot, and that things ran smoothly. If something did go wrong on my wedding day, I don't even know about it because Brittney must have handled it! She was there with me from the beginning of the day to the end of the night. She truly became my friend during the wedding planning process and made it such an easy, stress free, fun time!! She even does these beautiful flower walls that I cannot wait to have for my next event. I CANNOT RECOMMEND BRITTNEY ENOUGH! HIRE HER IF YOU WANT A BEAUTIFULLY PLANNED WEDDING AND A FUN STRESS FREE WEDDING DAY!

The most beautiful pampas backdrop for our wedding!

We used the pampas wall as the backdrop for our photobooth and it was absolutely stunning. Brittney was SO responsive and so amazing to work with. If you are contemplating renting a backdrop for your wedding or event - DO IT! You won’t regret it and Brittney is the best! Thank you so much again!

Couldn't do it without Brittney!

Brittney was absolutely amazing as our day-of wedding coordinator! She was so on top of everything and we didn't need to worry about a thing on our wedding day. Many people tend to give their to-do list or tasks list to a family member or friend... why make your guests worry about getting things done at your wedding, instead your guests should be enjoying themselves! So give your to-do list to Brittney and she will have it done for you and will most definitely go above and beyond your expectations! Brittney was so organized and experienced with running a wedding, she helped with our rehearsal, ceremony, and reception! Also while we were in the planning stages, she was also a great help with her vendor connections.
