The Best Day Ever !!!

Working with The Wedding Connection was one of the best decisions we made. Gab and her team went above and beyond to bring our vision to life in the most seamless and beautiful way.

Every detail was thoughtfully executed, and the timeline was flawless — everything ran on schedule, allowing us to truly enjoy every moment. Communication with the venue wasn’t always easy, but Gab handled everything behind the scenes and made sure it was all completely on point. Destination weddings aren’t easy given sometimes there are language barriers, and Gabrielle took on every single task and handled It with ease. I am the biggest worrier, and she answered every question I had and had patience with me from the very beginning. She always made me feel like I was heard when I had new ideas or concerns.

Our guests are still talking about it — so many said it was the most beautiful wedding they’ve ever been to and also the most fun. The pictures speak for themselves! The colors, the flowers, the list goes on!!! They also said there was NOTHING we didn’t think of! These are the best compliments since so much planning went behind this day!

Beyond everything, I truly feel like I made a lifelong friend in Gab, which made the entire experience even more special. I hope to stay in touch and whenever someone asks me for a recommendation it’s her name that comes to mind first. She is genuine, sweet, and hilarious and exactly the person you want on your side for your big day. She will do whatever It takes to make your vision come to life!

We are incredibly grateful for Gab!! If you want a stunning, stress-free wedding, The Wedding Connection is it. LOOK NO FURTHER!!!

Above and beyond in every way

There truly aren’t enough words to describe how incredible Gab and The Wedding Connection Team are. She is an absolute MUST for any couple planning a wedding—especially on a 6 month timeline. I’m very type B, and there is no way I could have pulled off the wedding we had without her.

Gab was so much more than an event coordinator—she was my go-to person and saving grace throughout the entire process. She is knowledgeable, professional, approachable, and genuinely an amazing human. She was always one step ahead, thinking of details I hadn’t even considered. She checked in after every appointment, trial, and fitting, helped map out every transition, and handled last-minute changes—like adding vendors the week of and planning for a family member with mobility concerns walking down the aisle—with total ease.

On the wedding day, she handled everything flawlessly, even navigating a difficult church team so I could stay calm and fully present. When one of my flower girls didn’t make it down the aisle, Gab had bubbles ready to keep her entertained during the ceremony—just one example of how prepared and thoughtful she is.

You truly feel like family working with TWC. Because of their hard work, we were able to fully enjoy every moment of our day. My only regret is not hiring Gab sooner and letting her plan the entire wedding.

TWC saved my wedding day

I truly will never be able to adequately thank the entire TWC team for everything they did before, during, and after our wedding day to make it perfect. When we arrived at our venue, we were shocked to see that our ceremony had been set up indoors, despite planning for an outdoor ceremony. The weather was absolutely beautiful, yet for some reason, our venue had our ceremony set up in a dark, cramped room that didn’t even have enough seating for our guests.

Before I could even begin to panic, Gab and Paige stepped in with such calm, professionalism. Within just hours of our guests arriving, they coordinated and moved our entire ceremony outdoors- giant flower arch and all. They quite literally saved our wedding day.

But what they did goes beyond that- they made our wedding day feel seamless, joyful, and perfect.

I would also be remiss not to highlight the incredible work Ashley did in the months leading up to our wedding. As a paralegal, I’m extremely detail oriented and have difficult relinquishing control of projects, our wedding being the most important “project” of my life. But from the moment Ashley stepped in, I felt an immediate sense of relief. She handled and organized absolutely everything with precision and care. Her level of organization is unmatched, and it ensured that every detail came together flawlessly.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Gab, Paige, and Ashley. We would hire TWC a million times over without hesitation.

The best of the best!

I hired Gab and her team in December 2025 ahead of my March 2026 wedding, and as a Type A, control-loving bride, I truly thought I had everything handled and didn’t need a coordinator—turns out, I couldn’t have been more wrong. The final three months before the wedding are easily the most overwhelming, with vendors reconnecting after nearly a year, but Gab and her team were completely on top of it all. Even when vendors reached out to me directly, all I had to do was loop Gab in and it was immediately handled.

Ashley’s quick responses and seamless communication with vendors gave me total peace of mind that everyone was aligned. Gab’s weekly check-ins—just to remind me she was there for anything—meant so much, and her support on the wedding day was truly invaluable. Allie and Emily made sure my husband and I could be fully present, soaking in every moment without worrying about a single detail.

I’m beyond grateful to Gab and the TWC team for taking such incredible care of us and delivering exactly what they promised: the most perfect wedding day.

Simply the Best

Gabrielle and her company, The Wedding Connection, were incredible from start to finish. We truly weren’t sure what kind of wedding we wanted, which meant Gabrielle explored many different avenues with us—and she did so patiently and without hesitation. She completely held our hand through the process, helping us weigh pros and cons, and I really appreciated that she wasn’t afraid to offer her honest opinion and guidance when we needed it.
We were definitely indecisive at times and not always the easiest clients, but Gabrielle never wavered. She stuck with us, supported us, and helped us confidently come to decisions. Anytime I felt stressed, overwhelmed, or unsure about timing or next steps, she was always just a phone call away. She truly acts like a therapist during those high-stress wedding moments, which was invaluable.
One of the biggest reliefs was not having to start from zero. Wedding planning is stressful enough, and Gabrielle handled so much of the legwork—reaching out to vendors, gathering pricing, and even negotiating on our behalf. Every vendor she connected us with was wonderful to work with, genuinely kind people, and respectful of our budget.
I can’t stress enough how amazing it was not to worry about the countless details that come with planning such a huge event. Because of Gabrielle and her incredible network, we were able to be fully present and truly enjoy our favorite day. Thank you so much, Gab—we couldn’t have done this without you!!!

Bride’s wing woman!

As the MOB I heard my daughter speak about all the research she did to find the most affordable Vendors.
When discussing Wedding day plans, she wanted someone to oversee & make sure her vision was executed. As her voice of reason, I admit having doubts in spending money on unnecessary things. I stand corrected. The value Gabi brought to my daughter’s Wedding Day was beyond worth the investment.
The amount of time dedicated to details, getting to know the Bride & Groom’s dream day, is valued at an imeasurable amount of money. From the minute Gabi walked in to the Bridal Suite, my daughter completely changed into a calm Bride who knew her day was about to be perfect having her Wing Woman next to her, walking her through the day & making sure we all were in sync with the time line of the day. I highly recommend Gabi & her team whether you are taking notes at the Weddings you are attending or already started planning your dream Wedding. Thank you Gabi! Every detail was BEYOND my imagination 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

The Wedding Connection is the best

Gabby and the whole team were amazing. They were invaluable assets being that I’m a guy and had no idea what to do. They took care of everything leading up to and on the day of the wedding which was the single greatest day of my life. Thanks Gab! You’re a rockstar. 10/10 two thumbs up. Would eat here again.

The BEST of the best.

I was a bride that thought I could do it all myself but the day of your wedding you do not want to have to worry. Things will go wrong no matter how much planning you’ve done, and that’s just one of the many reasons working with Gab was the best decisions we ever made. People are still telling us how perfect the night was planned out, how they can’t believe how much we danced even with a pasta course… little would they know we actually had to pivot from the timeline in real time.. all because of Gabs work behind the scenes to ensure everything ran as smoothly as possible. She is the most hardworking person I know and gave me so much reassurance from our very first phone call. You’re not just hiring a business when you hire TWC, you’re hiring someone who wants your day to be as perfect as you do and she puts her EVERYTHING into it. You literally need Gab.. no questions asked. Just trust me!!

Twc is a must

As a self-proclaimed Type A bride, I went into wedding planning wanting every detail to be perfect — timelines, décor, vendors, you name it. From our very first conversation, Gab & Ashley completely put me at ease. They were organized, proactive, and always one step ahead, anticipating things I hadn’t even thought of. On the wedding day, they made everything flow so seamlessly. Every vendor knew exactly where to be, every detail was executed flawlessly, and any potential hiccups were handled.

Because of The Wedding Connection, my husband and I were able to be truly present — laughing, dancing, and celebrating with our loved ones without an ounce of stress. It was the greatest gift we could have asked for on the happiest day of our lives.

If you’re a detail-oriented bride who wants to actually enjoy your wedding day, do yourself a favor and hire TWC.

Love,
The Purnhagens

A Perfect NYC Wedding Thanks to TWC!

We hired Gabrielle and TWC team as our 3-month coordinator for our October wedding in New York City. To put it simply: this wedding would not have been so perfect, smooth and beautiful without their tremendous help. Hands down the best decision we made in wedding planning was hiring TWC.

Gabrielle took charge in every instance - from the weeks leading up to the wedding and throughout our wonderful day. Although a handful of issues arose with our unique venue (a yacht traveling around NYC), Gabrielle and her team were able to find a perfect solution to each, which enabled us to truly enjoy the day and not worry about our vision coming to life.

Her feedback and advice leading up was incredibly helpful, and we cannot thank Gabrielle and her team for being there for us every step of the way -- they really went above and beyond.

Gabrielle & the TWC team truly delivered perfection. We would recommend them to anyone and everyone getting married!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
