The Gardner Effect

Adrienne was our day of coordinator, and having her be part of our day is what allowed our families to actually enjoy the day. She executed all of our set up dreams perfectly, was so flexible with the coordination of dropping off centerpieces and supplies. The ceremony was beautifully and calmly rehearsed. Best of all, by the end of the night everything was neatly tucked away in cars as planned and everyone was able to keep celebrating. Having Adrienne be a part of our day made it a celebration instead of work. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone!

We got a month-of-coordinator for our wedding, as our venue required at least a day-of coordinator. When I reached out to TGE I had a great conversation with Lauren Wiltshire who was able to ease all of my anxieties and tell me about how their process works. I wish I had looked into a coordinator sooner, and I love how TGE offers a package for people newly engaged just trying to figure out the best options for them! My one suggestion to people is to hire a planner! Definitely got our moneys worth.

We were supposed to get our coordinator assigned 90 days out, but I unfortunately had to email them before getting this information. The coordinator we had initially been paired with lacked good communication, and my husband and I were worried about how the big day was going to go. Four days after we had our final walk-through with our coordinator, she was either fired or quit and we got a message from Adrienne Gardner (the president) that she would be taking over. Honestly this was such a blessing! Adrienne called us immediately to discuss our wedding plans and what we were envisioning for our big day. She got all of the details organized, made great suggestions for the day of, and contacted all of our vendors.
I am so incredibly happy with how everything turned out. We also had an incident during dinner where we had to call 911. Adrienne was incredibly quick to respond, and kept the night moving as planned, making quick decisions on moving the guests to the other room, finishing speeches, and moving into dances and cake cutting. Although it was a scary thing for one of our guests to be carried out on a stretcher, Adrienne kept everyone calm and the night was far from ruined! I would HIGHLY recommend TGE. They made the entire rehearsal, day of, and wedding perfect!

Seriously tho, best ever! Leading up to the big day, TGE, was easy to get in contact with, had great advice and were helpful with calming the nerves.

As for the wedding weekend, it was PERFECT!!! I am so grateful for Kelly's calm, and ability to corral the madness (that surely was happening behind the scenes but I didn't see once!) She really gave me the ability to be completely present and focused on one true love!
