Rachel S. Sent on 12/13/2023Best Wedding Planner & Team Hands Down!
Hiring Kelly & her team was the BEST decision I ever made. She made sure my wedding day ran flawlessly. Everything was on time. She was in contact with the vendors months ahead to make sure they knew the correct times to arrive for the wedding day. She was their direct contact when they came to the venue all questions went through her it just made my day so much more enjoyable! I literally had nothing to worry about. Best money spent! -

Chelsea Sent on 12/16/2022We'd hire Gifted Events again without thinking twice.
Kelly and Chia were simply an extension of our bridal party, venue staff, hair and makeup team, florist, photographer, and DJ on our wedding day. They had it all covered from top to bottom and never left our side. We were always comfortable, on time, camera ready and just overall well taken care of. They were extremely organized, regimented, and always professional. With all of the planning and prep we did leading up to our wedding, my wife and I still agree (2 months later) that we don’t know what we would have done without Kelly and Chia on the day-of. Leading up to our Kelly especially made herself available for calls with us and calls with vendors, multiple visits to the venue, and over text. This gave us the peace of mind that she was going to get the job done...and she certainly did. If we could do it all again (which we wish we could) we would hire Kelly, Chia, and Gifted Events without thinking twice. -

I highly recommend Gifted Events! Kelly and her team are professional, detail oriented and made my the wedding day go seamless! There are just so many things that need attention and coordination on a wedding day, so I was so thankful to have Michelle and Chia there with me to help with anything I needed.I was a able to relax and be in the moment and that is PRICELESS. If you are planning a wedding, do not hesitate to reach out to Gifted Events, they are the best in the business! -

Ashley M. Sent on 07/19/2022Cannot Recommend Gifted Events Enough!
We LOVED working with Gifted Events! We booked Kelly as our full time wedding planner and it was one of the best decisions we made! We live in Los Angeles and were having our wedding in New Jersey so when the wedding planning started, I had no idea where to begin. A few weeks later, we met via Zoom with Kelly and we clicked immediately. She understood our vision for the wedding, which is so important when hiring a wedding planner, and really put our minds at ease! She scheduled meetings with venues and vendors and asked all the right questions, recommended the best vendors to fit our vision, made sure we were on top of our wedding checklist and created a wedding timeline the day of our wedding. After almost 2 years of working together on this wedding, the wedding day finally came and Kelly went above and beyond which wasn’t surprising since the planning process was so smooth! The wedding day was perfect and we didn’t have a worry in the world because we knew Kelly was on top of it. She truly cares about the couples she works with and we can’t recommend her enough! -

Danielle G. Sent on 07/15/2022You NEED Kelly and her team!!
Kelly is everything!!! She did my best friends wedding a few years back and I knew she was essential and I needed her. Kelly and her team are ON IT. You don’t even have to ask, they just know what to do. My vendors were all on time and everything went smoothly because of Kelly and her partnership with The Mill. She’s such a great person to have around you the day of your wedding, her calm and composed energy definitely helps set the tone!! -

Deanna D. Sent on 10/06/2021You NEED Gifted Events for your wedding!!
We hired gifted events as our day of coordinator and it was one of the best decisions we have ever made. Where do I even begin?? I cannot express how VITAL hiring a day of coordinator is, especially one with Gifted Events. Kelly and Amanda were both a pleasure to work with, listened to all of our needs and made sure everything went as smoothly as possible. From the seamless day of timeline, coordination with vendors and day-of getting ready tips, their expertise is unmatched. My bridal party is still calling Kelly and Amanda the “angels” of day :) Gifted Events went above and beyond and truly, our wedding day wouldn’t have been as amazing as it was, if it weren’t for Gifted Events!! I cannot recommend Gifted Events enough!! -

Best Day of Coordinator ever!!!
I met with Kelly very early in my wedding planning process, but decided to wait on booking because I was hesitant about how necessary a day of coordinator would be and if it would be worth the money. After a few months and planning through a pandemic I realized I definitely needed someone to help me and make sure things go as smoothly as possible, so I reached out to Kelly again. Unfortunately she wasn't available anymore for my wedding date but she was able to assign another coordinator, Carla, as my day of coordinator. I cannot express enough how VITAL Carla and Kelly were in making sure I was as stress free as possible during the weeks leading up to and on my wedding day. There wasn't a single time I was bothered by an issue with a vendor or any other part of the wedding day. I was able to enjoy my day, party and not have a worry in the world. Carla was there every second to make sure we were on time, everyone in the bridal party was where they were supposed to be, to fix my train or hair, and just let me breathe and enjoy the day. My advice if you are hesitant/unsure if you really need a DOC, book one NOW (and use Gifted Events), because YOU 100% DO NEED ONE and you will not regret it! I'm so thankful to Gifted Events for all their help and expertise, including giving me vendor recommendations, coming up with a flawless day of timeline and everything in between. My wedding day wouldn't have been as magical and perfect as it was without them! -

Kelly was so great to work with. She was very organized. Steph and Jacky from her team were with me for the day of. They were on top of everything that I had gone over with Kelly. They made sure our ceremony started on time and kept the videographer and photographer on schedule. At one point during reception I went down to the bridal suite to use the bathroom and Jacky just appeared to make sure I was okay and to check if I needed anything. Kelly contacted all of my vendors to make sure what time they would be arriving and helped to make a timeline for day of. I know that a day of coordinator is not on everyone’s top priority list but I definitely recommend having one if you can squeeze it in. We had a tight timeline for our vendors to come in and setup and to take pictures before the ceremony and they really helped to make sure things ran smoothly. -

Our venue had an assistant for both of us, and yours probably does too- and NO that's not enough. How I can best explain it is.. you don't realize how much you need a day of coordinator.... till its the day of. Our day started off by getting ready at a hotel. My blessing of a coordinator, Michelle, took all the things I needed from the hotel and brought them to the venue ahead of time so my photographer could get started on details. That way we could start on us when we arrived so there was no delay in the schedule. When my drink was empty and the venue coordinator was no where to be found.. Michelle was there. When I needed to use to restroom Michelle took me out of my dress and put me back in. Michelle was my right hand. When i wanted a list of things to be set up, my maid of honor didn't have to leave hair and makeup to help. Michelle did it. When the venue coordinator was holding up my train to walk across the estate for photos.. Michelle held my flowers. Michelle was always there. Its impossible to explain, but the day is hectic.. & Michelle was one reason it felt seamless. Gifted events is owned by Kelly whom was busy that day but helped me throughout the process. They are both phenomenal and organized. They do this for a living and it shows. I had a schedule in my mind and they outlined it for me. I wasn't happy with the schedule that the photographer had given me as "hair and makeup getting ready photos" were not important to me and I wanted more glam shots in my robe and dress.. These ladies made that happen. People seem to forget ITS YOUR DAY. there is NO RULE. besides you actually getting married. These vendors are hired by you. I wanted an assistant who was there ON MY TEAM. & saw MY vision. . and i got that with GIFTED EVENTS!

Hire Kelly! I can definitively say that Kelly made our wedding day come to life! We moved our wedding date due to Covid, so we ended up reaching out to Kelly a few weeks before our new date for her day of coordinator services. To start, Kelly is responsive, flexible, and a consummate professional. She responded to my inquiry very quickly, and as I walked her through our vision and needs, she provided plenty of ideas and also walked me through her process. She is incredibly organized, and from the moment we first spoke began drafting various spreadsheets and documents of everything you could think of. She also shared great resources with us right after we retained her, including a really wonderful seamstress and a great tux/suit shop. Shortly after our first conversation, Kelly met with us at our wedding site, walked with us through the vision, took notes, measurements, etc., and helped us visualize the day. Later that same day, she sent us a detailed document of all of the notes, photos, and things we wanted to make sure we remembered. Over the next few weeks, Kelly coordinated our vendors, kept updated on all of our (somewhat complicated) ceremony details, and continued to update her various spreadsheets/documents. Fast forward to the day of, Kelly and Jacky were our superheroes. All the vendors arrived on time, and Kelly and Jacky were working hard to pull all of the details together. They provided ceremony and reception setup and executed our vision exactly how we dreamed about it. They went above and beyond – making sure we had water while we took photos, helping with my dress and veil, and really just making our day as seamless as possible. Kelly also saved us at the end of the day by helping with a huge oversight! Definitely hire Kelly and Gifted Events – they will help bring your dreams to life! -

Danielle O. Sent on 09/24/2020Well worth it!!
Due to covid, I booked a new venue 4.5 weeks before our wedding date. Things that I hadn’t anticipated with this new venue kept coming up and I soon realized I needed more help. My only regret is not hiring them when I first booked. I truly think it would have saved me a lot of stress and headache. I hired Gifted Events a week before my wedding and they were worth every cent. Stephanie was my main coordinator day of and she was amazing. Her assistant was equally as great! Stephanie did a walk through with me the evening before my wedding and she heard out all my concerns and I knew right from there I was in good hands. Honestly, I’m sure Stephanie was there troubleshooting more problems than I even knew about, which made me feel like I made the right decision in hiring them. The day moved effortlessly along as far as I knew and I’m truly very happy with their service! -

The best ever.
Kelly is THE best. I am an event planner myself and I honestly can't imagine pulling off my wedding without her. There was no task too big or too small and you can tell she truly cares about your wedding and you as a person. I had a fully outdoor wedding with lots of moving pieces and set up and she handled it all flawlessly. Kelly never missed a call or an appointment and went above and beyond to make sure I enjoyed my wedding day. She's now planning one of my bridesmaid's weddings, too! Best decision I made.Gifted Events's reply:
Thank you so much, Nora! It was truly a pleasure! I loved being part of your day. I know you will have a beautiful ever after together. -

We used gifted events for our small backyard wedding during COVID when everything was limited. Kelly made my dream wedding come true in a small space in our yard. We had the time of our lives. Everything was stress free, and incredible. Highly recommend using gifted events for your special day. Her attention to detail is impeccable and we got so many wonderful compliments. Kelly and gifted events thank you so much for making this the best day of my life ❤️😇 -
