    Truly The Best.

    Maryam, Justine, and Margaret did an absolutely phenomenal job planning and coordinating our wedding. We cannot recommend them enough. They anticipated every minuscule detail, managed all of our vendors, and synchronized the entire day flawlessly (including bringing us both glasses of water throughout the night). They were calm, confident, and organized, which allowed us to truly enjoy the momentous day.

    I was skeptical of working with professional planners when we started planning our wedding (I consider myself pretty good at planning events, and I'm also somewhat frugal), but I can safely say that working with GGE was the best wedding decision we made.

    Maryam enthusiastically embraced all of our (sometimes strange) wedding ideas, while simultaneously keeping us grounded and sane. She kept us on track in the months leading up to the wedding, and provided us with invaluable guidance and perspective along each phase of the process. These are wonderful humans.

    Best Team Ever!

    Cannot recommend Greater Good/Together Event enough. We had a last minute change of plans to our wedding day and they accommodated our change of location, date, full-service venue to tented event at home, etc. We worked with Justine prior to the change of plans and she was so helpful at giving us guidance leading up to our original date. When plans changed, Sam was assigned as our month-of-coordinator and the day just could not have come together as it did without hers and Sharan's help! They are conscious, kind and so professional!

    Such an amazing time

    Working with GGE was beyond amazing. We had Sam (and Katie!) as our coordinator, and I feel embarrassed by how much I felt like they were just amazingly competent friends. Their extreme professionalism mixed with their general kindness and sense of humor made the day completely stress free.
    We're at a bit of loss for words to describe the thanks we have for them on literally the most perfect day.
    All I can say is, if you're thinking of hiring someone, do it! Having GGE allowed us to be wholly present in our event, and now I couldn't picture it any other way.
    (It helps Sam likes cats as much as we do 😹)
