Please hire these women you will not regret it!!

I have been thinking about what I wanted to say in this review ever since my wedding day on 10/24/26 because I genuinely don't think there are enough words to express how amazing Ashley and Genna were throughout the entire experience.
I worked primarily with Ashley during the wedding planning process, and I can confidently say she is one of the most organized people I have ever met, and I aspire to be as organized as she is! Even my vendors commented on how organized everything was and how clear and detailed the instructions were regarding their arrival times and expectations for the wedding day. Ashley made sure every single detail was taken care of, from our church rehearsal to the wedding day itself. Her organization, reassurance, and constant support made the entire planning process so much easier. I honestly don't know how we would have gotten through it without her.
At the church rehearsal, Ashley made sure everything was perfectly organized and ready to go, and that level of care continued into the wedding day. Both Ashley and Genna went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly and stayed on schedule. They were constantly by our sides, helping with my veil and dress, guiding us through every moment, and making sure we never had to worry about a thing. They were not only incredibly professional but also so much fun to be around. You can genuinely tell how much they love what they do, and that passion shines through in every aspect of their work.
I also have to mention how much my bridesmaids loved them! Everyone was so impressed by how wonderful they were and how seamlessly the entire day came together. We had so many people tell us that our wedding was one of the best they had ever attended, and I truly believe Ashley and Genna played a huge part in making that possible.
Honestly, I miss them! They were such a comforting presence throughout the entire process, and I cannot thank them enough for everything they did to make our wedding so special. They are truly amazing at what they do and worth every single penny.
If you are on the fence about hiring a wedding planner because you think you can manage everything yourself (which was exactly how I felt initially), PLEASE hire them. I promise you will not regret it for a single second. Having Ashley and Genna by our side was one of the best investments we made for our wedding, and I cannot recommend them enough!

So thankful for the wedding connection!

I can’t put into the words how amazing Gab and her team was! As a type A bride I was hesitant to bring any sort of planner on board. However, I couldn’t be more thankful to have worked with the wedding connection. Gab made herself available to us throughout the months leading up to the wedding, offering advice, guidance and even just a listening ear! Ashley was absolutely amazing working with us on the timeline to make sure everything went smoothly. The day of, Gab Ashley and Lindsey made our wedding day completely stress free and ensured we had the best day! They were also just a joy to work with and such positive and fun people to have around us on our biggest day! I couldn’t recommend the wedding connection enough!

Truly the best

We could not be happier that we hired TWC for our wedding! My husband and I got married in August, and we still talk about how incredible Gab and Ashley were on our wedding day. They truly went above and beyond to make sure everything ran as smoothly as possible, and we cannot thank them enough!

Throughout the entire planning process, Gab was so helpful, responsive, and reassuring. She always made me feel like everything was under control, and I knew I could count on her for absolutely anything. On our wedding day, Gab and Ashley were AMAZING. They were organized, dependable, attentive, and always one step ahead. They handled every little detail behind the scenes so that my husband and I could truly relax, be present, and enjoy every second of our day. If anything went wrong, we certainly never knew about it!

It is so clear how much Gab and Ashley genuinely care about their couples and the work they do. They made us feel so taken care of, and having them there gave us such peace of mind. Hiring TWC was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We are beyond grateful for everything they did to make our day so special and cannot recommend them enough!!

Don't even know where to begin - THANK YOU!

Our wedding weekend was AN INSANE AMOUNT OF WORK. ~200 guests, tented reception in Montauk, NY, a massive vendor team, and Gab, Ashley and Genna handled EVERY single aspect perfectly. There were very strong personalities involved, many opinions, same-day changes, and last minute requests. Somehow, these three handled every bit of it without ever making us feel the stress happening behind the scenes. Gab was our go-to throughout the process; she understood the vision, the extremely complicated timeline, and pushed back when she knew she needed to. She very quickly understood us and our families, which was just as important as our wedding weekend. She knew when we needed honest advice, when to step in to handle an issue, and when we just needed someone to tell us not to worry. The amount of work that Gab did behind the scenes was insane. She lit a fire under every vendor that needed a push, she coordinated timelines, vendors, logistics, rentals, transportation, photo/video, content creation, setup, deliveries, and fielded approximately one million phone calls from us and our families. Ashley and Genna were right there with her all weekend and throughout the planning process, running the floor so smoothly that we only found out about half the fires afterward, and even then only because we asked. Every setup detail was exactly as we’d pictured it, every transition happened on time, and every one of our 200 guests had someone to turn to the second they needed anything. What we appreciated most is that Gab never just told us what we wanted to hear. She gave us real opinions when the timeline didn’t work, when a vendor needed to be replaced, and when we were overthinking something that didn’t matter. That honesty is why we trusted her completely by the time the weekend arrived, and why Nicole and I were able to actually be present at our own wedding instead of managing it. If you’re planning a big, complicated, high-opinion wedding (or frankly any wedding), The only place you need to look is to The Wedding Connection- Gab, Ashley & Genna are absolutely fantastic, work together seamlessly...& we truly can’t recommend them highly enough... we will be telling anyone who asks for years to come!

Cannot get married without Gab (and Paige!)

Gab and her team- Paige and Ashley went above and beyond. There were truly no words to express my gratitude for these girls. From the day we booked them, up until the wedding and beyond, they have been beyond helpful, calming, resourceful, and able to help with everything wedding related. I have referred them to so many friends did already, and truly do not know how people get married without Gab. The weeks leading up to the wedding and the day of she was so helpful and dealt with any issue that came her way. She is responsive, accommodating, knowledgeable, and a good fricken time!!! We love Gab and her team. Xoxo Kali and Joe

Ponce Wedding 7.18.26

We cannot thank you enough from the bottom of our hearts for everything you did to make our wedding day so incredible! You two are truly the best, and we honestly don’t know how anyone gets married without you by their side. Anything we needed throughout the day you guys were on it and made me feel so taken care of. From the very beginning, every phone call and text was met with reassurance, support, and kindness. You always made us feel so calm and relieved, even when we were stressed or overwhelmed. My husband kept telling me how comfortable you guys made him feel throughout the day. You went above and beyond in every way, and all of the time, effort, and care you put into our wedding truly showed. Everything came together so beautifully, and we know that wouldn’t have been possible without you. You made sure every detail was taken care of and allowed us to truly enjoy our day without worrying about a thing. Our wedding day was truly the best day of our lives, and we will always be so grateful for everything you did to make it so special and perfect. We could not recommend you two enough! Anyone getting married is so lucky to have you by their side🤍

I don’t know what I would’ve done without Ashley!

Ashley and her team made such a huge difference on our wedding day. We did a full restaurant buyout instead of a traditional wedding venue, so there were a lot of extra logistics and moving parts to figure out. Ashley had a solution or answer for basically everything that came up, things I honestly would not have known how to handle without her.

I had a very specific vision and like to be in control of every detail, but she kept everything on track without making me feel like I had to manage a thing. It became a running joke that anytime I went to ask for something, Ashley was already handling it.

The day flowed exactly how we hoped, and I was actually able to be present and enjoy it instead of worrying about what was happening behind the scenes. One of my friends who attended the wedding already booked The Wedding Connection for her own wedding after seeing Ashley in action. We’re so grateful to the team for helping make the day feel seamless and so us.

Spectacular Job!

Gab, Genna and Ashley were truly spectacular. They brought every detail of our daughter’s wedding vision to life—even the ideas that seemed impossible. Their creativity, dedication, organization, and attention to detail were beyond anything we could have imagined.

Every challenge was handled calmly and seamlessly, even when it wasn’t easy. They went above and beyond. The wedding was absolutely magical, and that was largely because of these ladies and the incredible team. We will forever be grateful for the love, care, and tireless effort they put into making our daughter’s dream wedding a reality. We could not recommend them more highly!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
