On top of every detail

Stephanie was recommended to us by the events manager at our reception venue, and we are so glad she helped us coordinate our wedding. After having to postpone and then cancel our Italian wedding this year, we reached out to Stephanie only 6 weeks from our newly planned wedding date to help get the ball rolling and keep us sane. She thought of every single detail (including delivery and return of rental linens) and created an amazing master schedule for us, our family, and our vendors that I could not have imagined creating myself. With just a few weeks to plan our COVID wedding, Stephanie looked into every safety requirement and made sure that we felt comfortable and supported as we approached, and during, our special day. Stephanie was essential to helping our wedding run smoothly and I highly recommend her to any couple who needs a coordinator or planner who will go above and beyond (and ensure you think of everything!) for your wedding.

wedding day pro

Thankfully Stephanie agreed on very short notice to step in and help with our October 2020 wedding, acting as day-of coordinator so we could finally relax and better enjoy our wedding day. It worked!! She is very friendly and well organized, and directed the ceremony and reception like a pro so all the pieces happened on time and without a hitch. We knew that we could rely on her to get the details right, and she did. If we could do it over again, we probably would have hired her sooner!

The best!!!!

I chose Stephanies services for our wedding & we couldn’t have been more happy! Stephanie wasn’t available the actual day of our wedding so Anne stepped in & was SO amazing to work with!

I used Stephanie’s “oh shit” package. We spent so much time planning my wedding and We wanted to be able to enjoy it the day of. Anne & Stephanie made that a possibility with their amazing organization skills & communication between us & our vendors. I could not say enough great things about the both of them! Thank you guys so much for being a part of making our wedding a dream come true!

Stephanie is the best!

As the mother of a bride who lives on the other coast, I needed some major organizational help. Stephanie was amazing. She not only broke down all the details that needed sorting in a timely way, but also on the day of the wedding when we had to adjust for torrential rain, she saved my life. Stephanie was, calm, organized and creative so that in the end, the drama of the rain storm added to the magic of the evening. She and her helper/husband, who is a master electrician, took care of every last detail with calm professionalism. Our guests told us it was one of the most fabulous events they'd ever attended. Stephanie is the BEST.

Stephanie Gatton For President

We honestly would not have survived the planning process without Stephanie's guidance and expertise. My husband and I had a fairly eclectic view of how we wanted the day to go- traditional ceremony but untraditional and casual after-party- and Stephanie heard and respected all of our requests. On our wedding day she really shined. She helped us navigate difficult family members, a disaster parking situation, and a million moving pieces, all in a city she did not know! Despite the chaos, we remember our wedding as easy, laid back, and one of the best days of our life. Work with Stephanie! It will be the best money you spend on your wedding.

The Best Planner We Could Have Chosen!

Stephanie is an amazing planner and we highly recommend that anyone planning a wedding seek her out! She was so warm and friendly, super organized, and consistently available whenever we had questions or a problem came up in the planning stages. Stephanie has great relationships with amazing vendors and helped us plan our dream winter wedding at the Greenpoint Loft with the best food, photography, flowers, and so much more for our big day. Stephanie was an absolute pro on the day of the wedding, coordinating all the moving pieces, and shielding us from the stress of surprise cancellations and plus ones. We couldn't have pulled off a wedding half as fantastic as ours turned out to be without Stephanie!

We can't recommend Stephanie highly enough!!

We decided to do a DIY wedding, but realized early on that we would need a coordinator for the day-of to keep everything on track and manage all the moving parts. We can’t tell you how glad we are that we found Stephanie, as she did this and so much more! From our first phone call with her it was clear we were in good hands: she made us feel that it was possible for us to achieve our vision for our DIY wedding, while giving us a much-needed plan for the months leading up to it and things we needed to keep in mind for the day-of. We immediately felt like we were in good hands and that we could trust her to answer ANY question, but more often than not she would spot a potential question or problem coming even before we did, and already have the solution for it. She is extremely experienced in event planning and wedding production, and whether you’re doing DIY or full service she will absolutely have your back.

While she gave us a sense of security in the months leading up to the wedding, she blew us away on our actual wedding day! She completely exceeded our expectations as far as how efficient, organized, and on top of every detail she was. She completely understood our vision and executed it perfectly. One thing we were especially stressed about was the timing of the music during our ceremony, since we didn’t have a DJ but had several music changes. With her background in theater production, Stephanie handled this as though it were nothing at all. We really were able to enjoy the wedding and time with our guests, without having to worry about if we were on time or if the music was going to be cued at the right moment or if the people involved in the day knew their cues. If you want someone who will run your wedding like a tight ship and take care of details you didn’t even realize needed to be taken care of, Stephanie offers a total peace of mind. We cannot recommend her highly enough!!

Stephanie is a godsend!

Stephanie was an absolute godsend in helping me bring together my wedding. I chose the "Oh Shit!" Package and got married in October 2018. After seeing great reviews online, I contacted Stephanie for a consultation and by the end of the call I was basically asking her to take my money. Once you book her services she provides super super helpful wedding "cheat sheets" that aid all things planning (timeline, guest list, tipping sheet, etc.). Stephanie is professional, thorough, collaborative, and so sweet. Stephanie is very responsive and brings great ideas to the table if you struggle with indecisiveness (like me). I had most of my vendors booked by the time I consulted with her and really needed support in day of coordination. And Stephanie. Brought. It. Not only did the day of timeline go smoothly, the venue looked AMAZING and she was the point person for the vendors. I am so glad I chose Stephanie because I did not once feel worried on my wedding day and was actually able to enjoy it! I would definitely recommend Stephanie Gatton!

Stephanie is hands-down, the greatest!

Stephanie is absolutely wonderful! We connected with her instantly, and working with her is one of the best wedding planning choices we made! Stephanie completely understood what our priorities were for our wedding and helped us to stay focused on what was most important to us throughout the planning process. She had great resources and suggestions, and she thought of every single detail. (Stephanie has a background as a stage manager, and it shows! She keeps every single thing organized.) Stephanie was enthusiastic about our decision to have a whole weekend celebration at our rustic summer camp and helped us think through logistics. There were a lot of logistics, as events were in various buildings throughout camp with separate plans for rain and sun, and half of our guests were staying in cabins without running water or electricity.

Stephanie was warm and encouraging, very easy to communicate with, and ultimately made our wedding weekend feel completely seamless. It was so, so wonderful to be able to immerse ourselves in enjoying the wedding and not worry about any of the vendors or details once it was happening. Many aspects of our wedding were non-traditional, and Stephanie had a lot of ideas to offer to us about how to make them work. Our families loved Stephanie, too, and she did a fantastic job helping to manage them as well. Honestly, we can't say enough great things about Stephanie!!

Stepanie Gattone is THE BEST!! You NEED her.

RUN, DON'T WALK to Stephanie Gatton. She is a consummate professional. She made my wedding planning and the day itself a huge, huge success. I cannot say enough great things about her. I came to Stephanie with my 'hair on fire' - trying to plan a wedding when my fiancé was recovering from a heart attack. Stephanie literally got me organized, focused, recommended the BEST vendors that I used and loved, and believed in my vision and took my dreams and made them a reality! On the day of the wedding, she is so on the ball - literally 'running the show' for you so all you have to do is sit back, relax and relish the moments. With Stephanie as your wedding planner, you CANNOT GO WRONG. Quite honestly, I cannot imagine an event without Stephanie. She is your girl. You won't be disappointed.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I had the tremendous pleasure of working with Stephanie Gatton at a wedding at the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors followed by a reception at the Roundhouse in Beacon. She, quite simply, nailed it. Due to extraordinary circumstances with the weather, the ceremony location changed a total of three times in 24 hours. Watching her update each and every vendor as the day unfolded was inspiring. She kept the stress off of the bride and groom while keeping track of every detail. It was downright impressive. The bride and groom are artists and theater professionals who poured their hearts into their wedding details. They built a custom escort card display that was essentially an art installation that matched their die-cut invitation design and the actual icing on their cake, which coordinated with their uplighting. All couples have something that is very important to them on their wedding day, but for DIY couples make their decor by hand, EVERYTHING matters. Stephanie knew that and didn't miss a beat. This made it possible for me to deliver a set of photos that the clients loved. You can trust her with your vision.
