If you’re even thinking about hiring Gabby as your wedding planner, take this as your sign to do it — without hesitation. She was truly our saving grace, and I honestly don’t know how we would have made it through without her.

When I first reached out to Gabby, I was overwhelmed trying to plan a wedding while working full time. After countless tears and breakdowns, my fiancé and family encouraged me to find help. I had come across a few planners, but something about Gabby stood out. I sent her a long, emotional message pouring out all of my frustration, and she responded with so much compassion and reassurance. Even before we officially booked her, she was already offering support — and after our discovery call, I told my fiancé, “We need Gabby.”

We originally hired her for month-of and day-of coordination, but I quickly realized I couldn’t do it all on my own. I reached back out and asked to upgrade to full-service planning. When she said yes, I felt an immediate sense of peace — like I could finally breathe. From that moment on, I was able to enjoy our engagement and trust that we were in the best hands.

Our wedding was intentionally small and intimate (less than 30 guests), and Gabby made it feel just as meaningful and magical as a large-scale celebration. We planned everything in just five months. After walking away from our original venue, Gabby helped us find the perfect space for our ceremony and reception — something that reflected our style, priorities, and budget. Our budget wasn’t very big, but Gabby handled it with so much care and intention. She was incredibly mindful of every dollar spent and made sure we felt confident in every decision without ever feeling limited or discouraged.

Her vendor recommendations were spot-on, and she handled communication and logistics so seamlessly that I didn’t have to stress. Throughout the process, Gabby was incredibly attentive, organized, and thoughtful. Her attention to detail blew me away. She checked in constantly, reassured me during stressful moments, and genuinely cared about how I was doing. She always looked for ways to lift burdens off my shoulders, and I could feel how invested she was in not just the wedding, but us as a couple.

When our big day arrived, the peace I felt knowing Gabby was running the show was indescribable. She and her amazing assistant, Kelsey, were everywhere — making sure things ran smoothly, supporting our families, and taking care of us at every turn. We felt so taken care of, and because of that, we were able to truly be present and soak in the joy of the day.

And let’s talk about Gabby’s design skills — AMAZING. From the initial mood boards to the final setup, everything was timeless, romantic, and breathtaking. She took the vision we had in our hearts and brought it to life with so much artistry and care. Every detail was intentional, and her execution was flawless. Our family and friends still talk about how stunning everything was and how amazing Gabby was.

If I could go back and have Gabby from day one, I would do it in a heartbeat. But we are endlessly grateful we had her for the part of the journey that mattered most. She brought peace, beauty, and joy to our wedding season — and we couldn’t be more thankful.

If you’re looking for a planner who is kind, talented, organized, passionate, and genuinely invested in your happiness, Gabby is everything you could ever hope for — and more. Hiring her was the best decision we made.

Gabby was a God send for me. I knew I wanted to be involved in the planning process and started reaching out to wedding planners/coordinators to hire for my big day. During our first initial phone call I knew I was going to hire her. She immediately sent me her planning website and I was able to log in and find helpful notes and articles and interactive layout generator, table seating planning, list and organizing tools. She answered all my questions and was always available when I needed her, she referred wonderful vendors and was always available to bounce ideas off of and we met and walked the venue several times before the wedding. The day of my wedding I was so calm because I knew she had it handled and we had everything on the planning website that she provided me. Gabby is so talented, professional, efficient and kind. I highly recommend her!

Working with Gabby was one of the best decisions we could've made when planning our wedding. She truly took over every detail, didn't hesitate when questions were asked, and knew how to handle any situation in the wedding planning process. She executed our day perfectly and made sure my husband and I had the most stress-free, enjoyable, and, most importantly, memorable day of our lives. I am so grateful to have found Copper River & Co to plan my wedding and execute the day I had always dreamed of. Gabby will be a forever friend because of all the love, care & detail she put into our day, treating us not just as clients but as friends. Thank you, Gabby, for everything!
