Jackie B. Sent on 03/14/2024Book Abby with BOE ASAP
Let me tell you. Look no further than hiring Abby immediately if you’re in need of a wedding planner. She is ON POINT with absolutely everything. I’m talking soup to nuts from the cocktail napkins to the logistical layouts of where the cake stand is going during reception. She leaves no stone unturned and truly knows what she’s doing when it comes to weddings. She has ample experience which in turn gives her soooo many connections which allowed her to assist flawlessly with my wedding I just had. She’s super organized as well as responsive and doesn’t leave you stressed at all. I mean at all. Her and her team on game day were professional and on top of everything, made adaptions when she saw fit, and most importantly made sure I was taken care of as the bride. So go book Abby 5 minutes ago! Not sure what you’re waiting for :) -

Abby is amazing at what she does. I will forever be thankful to my friend who recommended her to me. My mom and I literally high-fived after our first phone call with Abby- we knew we hit the jackpot! She was the only planner who actually laid out her process for us so we could understand. We felt so comfortable with her. She is obviously very experienced and since my mom and I can be very indecisive sometimes we really appreciated Abby always giving us her honest opinion so we could make a decision. Also, what stuck out most to me about Abby is how she always put us first no matter what. We had lots of difficulties with our venue and Abby always made sure she did whatever it took to put us first, which I feel like many other vendors would have put themselves first because most care about their status with venues. I appreciated that she always made us a priority. We were always so impressed with how professionally she dealt with everything. When it came to the wedding day I was so stress free because I knew Abby would have everything under control. Even when my hair and makeup was running an hour late, Abby called me to tell me not to worry that everything was on track. If I didn’t have Abby as my planner I know this would have caused so many issues for our day. She made everything run so smoothly. I am seriously so impressed by Abby and will recommend her to all my friends. Abby, my mom and I will forever be appreciative to you. Thank you for everything. -

We are so happy we chose Blue Orchid Events for our wedding coordination. We planned our South Florida wedding while living in Rhode Island and both of us working 80-hour work weeks, and we knew we were going to need a lot of help. We also didn't have a super clear idea of what design we wanted for our wedding so we were going to need a lot of direction. Abby really came through for us! She is incredibly professional, responsive, and experienced. She helped us budget and stay on track with the mountain of tasks that needed to be done. With Abby, we found every single one of our vendors including the venue space, and every vendor we used exceeded our expectations. She met with us and the vendors over Zoom, working with our hectic schedules, and she also met with us a few times personally when we were in town. When we were lost about what to do with our wedding design, Abby gave us some amazing suggestions and it all came out beautifully at the wedding. A few days before the wedding, our hotel where we were supposed to get ready cancelled because of a hurricane, and Abby stayed on top of communicating to all the vendors about the last minute change in plans. On the day of, she and her assistant helped us stay on time and were on standby, always looking to us if we needed anything. It's clear that Abby loves what she does because it shows in her work! We highly recommend Blue Orchid Events for any couple that wants a seamless wedding planning experience :) -

I'm so glad we found Blue Orchid to help plan our wedding! Abby was amazing in helping us find all the right vendors, since we planned our wedding from out of state. She gave us great introductions, and we would never have found our amazing venue without her. She was incredibly patient and kind, guiding us through the process and keeping us on track, since we only had an 8 month engagement. On the day of, her answer to everything was "no problem." She and her team worked so hard to make sure everything was running on time and in the proper place, so that we didn't have to worry. We couldn't have done it without her! -

Out of this world!!
It's hard to put into words how much we appreciate Abby and her team. We hired Abby after already having a lot of changes to our wedding and then covid happened and multiple postponements later, we were finally able to have our big day. She stuck through it with us and helped us keep almost every vendor through each date change. She was literally my savior through this planning process, kept all the details organized and my anxiety at ease. If there is one person you need by your side during your big day (aside from your spouse) it's her. She handles everything like a boss and I couldn't be more pleased with how our day turned out. She worked with our vendors to make sure our day was exactly how we wanted it and I could not be more grateful! -

Rachel K. Sent on 02/15/2022It'll be the best day of your life
If you want your wedding day to *actually* be the best day of your life, and you don't want to be crazy stressed out during the planning process, hire Blue Orchid.
Abby Gallagher, the owner of Blue Orchid Events & Design, is extremely competent, highly organized, incredibly responsive, wonderfully creative, and a natural problem solver. From the big picture all the way down to the smallest details, Abby makes planning a wedding simple and stress-free. I selected our date, found our venue, and then hired Blue Orchid for their partial planning package. Blue Orchid gave us a short list of vendors for each open category (catering, photography, stylist, florals, etc) and the ones we selected from their list were equally on-point. Not only was the planning process a breeze, but when it all came together on the day-of... it was spectacular. Abby and her team truly love what they do, and it shows every step along the way, in addition to the day-of.
The best decision I made regarding my marriage was saying 'yes' to my now husband when he asked me to marry him, and the second best decision I made was hiring Blue Orchid to plan our wedding. -

Ali Sent on 12/08/2021Key piece of our wedding experience
I am not from Florida originally and was really worried about planning my wedding and didn’t know where to start or who to trust. I did not necessarily go into wedding planning thinking I would hire a planner and I am BEYOND glad that we had Abby. There is a reason she has so many 5 star reviews! She came on to help us for day of in what was an incredibly stressful work/life/wedding planning tornado and from our first interaction made my husband and I feel incredibly comfortable and taken care of. She is amazing and I genuinely don’t know what I would have done those weeks before the wedding without her. To know that I could go into my wedding day absolutely knowing everything was taken care of was priceless. -

Lacey S. Sent on 11/28/2021Incredible devotion and reliability
Our wedding would have been good without Abby, but she is the one that made it spectacular. We hired Abby as a “day of” planner and she started working with us 1-2 months out from our wedding day. It was at that time that things started to get very stressful in the wedding planning process and Abby was there to step in, take most of the tasks off our plate, and tie it all together. She is incredibly good at what she does. She is extremely organized, professional, reliable, flexible, easygoing, fun, creative, and compassionate. She communicates so well with all of the vendors and is efficient in making a day-of timeline that works for everyone. Abby was critical in helping to solve conflicts and miscommunications between us and the vendors when issues arose. She took extra time out of her schedule to help resolve them because she wanted our day to be perfect. Abby also was the one who led us to some of our most amazing vendors based on her recommendations. She is respectful and is a great listener - she genuinely wants your day to be exactly how YOU want it to be. Abby was always available to speak with me and answer any questions I had throughout the whole process without any form of judgment and made us feel like her only client. She brings only positive vibes to your day and her compassionate, fun energy is palpable. I cannot recommend Blue Orchid enough for your wedding day - we owe so much of our magical day to her! -

Best decision we made!
Let me start by saying this is a very overdue review, but I cannot thank Abby and her team for making our wedding day a dream come true! After a rough start to wedding planning with a different planner, we found Abby and immediately knew that she would be able to give us the guidance we were looking for. Her organization, recommendations, and professionalism gave me peace of mind and helped bring the entire wedding vision to life. Being a type A person and an out-of-town bride, I worried a lot about forgetting or missing things during the wedding planning process, especially planning a wedding from a different state. Abby covered absolutely EVERYTHING which helped me relax in the months leading up to our wedding knowing that Abby would bring anything to our attention that needed to be taken care of. On the day of, Abby and her team made everything run so smoothly even when our timeline was off due to hair and makeup taking longer than expected. I have no doubt that our wedding would not have been the same without Blue Orchid Events and we can't thank them enough! -

Abby is the best event planner of all time!! Everything so so seamless and done with a smile. Our wedding was beyond perfect and the event coordinator at the hotel even told us that Abby is the best planner she has ever worked with!! We absolutely could not have done it without her. Thank you sooo much! Worth every penny and then some. -

Kate T. Sent on 01/15/2020Absolutely essential to our big day.
I cannot rave enough about Abby and her team. From the moment my husband and I got engaged, I immediately became overwhelmed by the amount of options, websites, and ideas that are out there. Abby was the first planner I met with that was not only professional and knowledgeable, but was clearly going to be a resource and ally to help me navigate floral arrangements, photography choices, and more decisions that I ever could have imagined. From day one she helped turn my chaotic brainstorm into a picture perfect reality, creating a wedding that was more beautiful than I ever could have imagined. I say with zero exaggeration that there is no way I could have walked down the isle without her. -

Natalie F. Sent on 06/21/2021Best money spent on the whole wedding
There aren’t enough words to describe how amazing Abby is. My husband and I live in Michigan and planned our Florida wedding during a literal pandemic. Abby made everything feel easy and smooth and normal. People asked me throughout the process if I was so stressed and honestly I couldn’t have been more calm, all thanks to Abby’s guidance. She kept me focused on getting things decided with plenty of time, and reminded me when I had upcoming deadlines. She had excellent vendor recommendations and helped us negotiate pricing to stay within our budget. Not to mention the fact that she is a delight of a person. I would highly recommend everyone use a planner for their wedding, and Abby was a rockstar. So grateful to have found her at the beginning of our wedding journey! -

Abby and her team at Blue Orchid Events made my wedding day the best day of my life. I know that sounds cliche but it is true. I couldn't have been happier. She saved me money, organized everything, and made the day really special. What surprised me was how relaxed I was on the wedding day. I got to eat and enjoy my friends and family. I don't think many brides can say that. I worked with Abby on my wedding for a year and enjoyed every minute of it. I would highly recommend Blue Orchid Events to anyone who is looking for an amazing wedding planner in the Ft. Lauderdale/Miami area. -

I cannot fully express how grateful I am to have met Abby from Blue Orchid Events & Design. We had the most pleasant and outstanding experience in hiring this company, knowing that they would make our wedding dreams a reality. We met Abby & her team at the Fort Lauderdale Wedding Expo shortly after our engagement. We were looking for a full wedding planning service because we needed a professional to help make our day beautiful, allow us to enjoy the planning experience, and were overwhelmed with the enormous amount of details. I knew from the moment I met Abby that she was the right person for the job. Abby has been professional, organized, kind, helpful, trustworthy, communicative, supportive, and just incredible. She helped us every step of the way and provided us with great references for other vendors. Abby smoothly sailed over every bumpy wave and answered all of our questions. Abby designed the most incredible ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception space. Everything came out better than I could have imagined, we were blown away! Our wedding day was just magical. We are eternally grateful to Abby & her team. I highly recommend Blue Orchid Events & Design!! I will forever cherish the memories from my magical day thanks to Abby.
