    John Gandy Events and the TEAM did an Amazing job!!!

    Our daughter was married 2/3/24. We engaged JGE and his team back in April 2023. Since our very first meeting, this team far exceeded our expectations. They guided us through the litany of logistical considerations and decisions that we needed to make. Everything from venue options, catering, flowers, entertainment, decor, weather monitoring and contingencies, etc.....no detail was left unattended. Our designated event coordinator, Allyson DuBose, was extraordinary and truly provided personal attention to all details. She was always accessible, friendly, professional, thoughtful and provide great insight on the decisions we needed to make. As a result of JGE and the team, our daughter's wedding was magnificent. We could have done this without JGE. THANK YOU TO THE ENTIRE JGE TEAM!!!

    Mother of Bride

    Gandy Events staff (especially Emily Pozzoli) provided a seamless, always positive, coordination of our daughter’s wedding 1/13/24. They were very enthusiastic in their efforts to ensure my daughter’s vision for her and her husband-to-be experience with what may be a once in a lifetime event. We couldn’t have Don it without them!

    John Gandy Events's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words! We loved working with you both and it was so much fun and of course beautiful! Again, congratulations!

    Absolutely incredible!

    JGE is the one of the best event companies in the southeast. Emily was my main planner for our wedding and she was everything I could have asked for a more! The whole team took care of EVERYTHING! They are super professional and listened to my opinions and decisions. They helped bring my vision to LIFE and made it the best night of our lives! 100% you need JGE to plan your wedding/event! Cannot compliment and praise them enough!!

    Amazing and Professional!

    I had a wonderful experience with John and his entire staff. They all went above and beyond and I couldn’t be more pleased with how everything turned out. Even with terrible weather the day of the wedding, they still managed to move the ceremony indoors and make it look beautiful.

    Couldn't be more grateful!

    I could not be more grateful for the role that John Gandy Events playing leading up to and on the day of my wedding. They assisted in everything from booking vendors to selecting decor on the planning side. And on the day of, they were beyond helpful. Not only did they set up the entire reception, but also attended to my husband and I all day. From steaming my dress to carrying my train and providing water in between photos, there was a member of the team present at every turn ready to help. I cannot recommend JGE enough!

    John Gandy Events

    I can not say enough about John Gandy Events and his team. They captured our vision beautifully. Everything was exactly how we wanted and they communicated every step of the process with us. We directly worked with Allyson who is incredible! She really got to know us and was able to make design suggestions and suggested fun ideas to incorporate our horses which turned out perfect. Our wedding day was smooth and stress free thanks to the team they provided. We also used the list of suggested vendors they provided, all of which were great to work with.

All of the details were perfect and they asked for our input throughout the entire process. I am so grateful to have had the team there for the big day and could not imagine the day without them.

    I’m not the event planning type. Emily and John made sure everything was taken care of and that I didn’t have to worry about a thing! I couldn’t (and wouldn’t) have done it without them!

    Absolute Perfection!

    As parents of the Bride, the best decision we made was hiring John Gandy Events as our Wedding Planner! John and his entire team were nothing short of absolute perfection. Regardless of the questions, or multiple emails, they always made us feel as if we were their one and only client, which we knew too well, was not the case! Not one single detail was missed, and they made my daughter’s wedding day the most perfect, stress free day we could have ever asked for. If you want a first class team to plan your special event, I highly recommend you hire John Gandy Events! Trust me, like us, it will be the best decision you’ll make!

    Wonderful!!

    John Gandy and his team were absolutely amazing! He and everyone on his team was so quick to respond during the planning process and they were there to keep everything moving the day of the wedding. He made my wedding an absolute dream and such an easy day. My parents, sisters and I had a nice fun day celebrating while his team was on it and took care of everything. If you needed anything or forgot something they had it. All of his vendors he recommend were amazing! I could not be more thankful that he helped me with my wedding, or I should say planned it. I didn’t have to worry about anything. Just got to have fun and enjoy the day. I would highly recommend him for to anyone planning a wedding or any event. He’s the best!

    Fabulous and Breathtaking

    I would highly recommend John for your Wedding Planning needs. He is wonderful and his team is always there for any question or need that arises. Not only do you get his professional planning services, but he has an entire warehouse of furniture, decorations or anything else you could possibly need for the special day. You will not go wrong with John Gandy Events. Everyone knows who he is and he is very respected due to his reputation. You will not go wrong with John and his team who are always just a phone call away.

    John Gandy Events A Must For Your Wedding

    On July 9th, 2022, we celebrated the marriage of our daughter to the love of her life. Alongside the birth of our daughters and our own wedding 30 years ago, it was the happiest day of our lives. A year ago, July 2021, we had just received a request from our now son in law, to meet for dinner in a small Georgia town nearby. Even before he asked permission to marry our daughter at dinner that night, and at the risk of “jumping ahead”, I had my priority list already written for the day following. At the top of my list was one phone call- to our friend, John Gandy.
    Knowing his level of expertise and decades long experience in event planning was only part of our reason for placing him at the top of our priority list. For years we had attended weddings and events John and his team had successfully planned and executed. We then experienced first hand working with him at our own business event in recent months. Everything we had heard about him was validated. He far surpassed our highest expectations.
    His professionalism, eye for beauty, reading his audience, the incredible people he has chosen to surround himself with, and most importantly his integrity in all aspects of his business, are all key components to his success. The respect he has earned throughout our community, and far beyond, is undeniable.

    On the day of our daughter’s wedding, we were able to truly enjoy each moment from the very beginning early that morning all the way through the night …..to the happiest ending. He and his incredible team attended to each detail beautifully, flawlessly.
    The day for the entire McClure/Shenker Family was perfect- knowing we were in such capable hands. We could not imagine any of it without JGE.
    Bob and Julie McClure

    Ahh thank you so much! What an amazing review, Team JGE could not be happier! Your entire family was so sweet and the day was beyond perfection! again, Congratulations!

    Versitile, Incredible, Perfect Planners

    JGE was not our first wedding planner. We had a really nightmare experience with another planner, and 5 months prior to the wedding, a week after attending a wedding on the other side of the state put on by JGE, my FIL called the team and they graciously took on our wedding, last minute with almost zero done (including a cancellation of our venue at the same time). We switched venues to the backyard of. my in-laws, and John Gandy Events made it into the honest-to-goodness wedding of my dreams. To be totally honest, I don't know what their fee was, but I bet the entire family would agree that they were worth every single penny. They gave us the freedom to be as involved or uninvolved as we wanted to be with any given aspect of the wedding. I sent them my vision "romantic, enchanted garden, whimsical, traditional," a photo of the bridesmaids dresses, and a general pinterest photo of a flower arrangement that I loved, and that was it. They made it happen. My MIL had a few preferences as well, and they were amazing to communicate with her and make those things happen as well.
    With their warehouse at our disposal for the wedding, we felt like we got the absolute top of the line most modern, beautiful furniture, table settings, decor, etc. and we didn't have to pick and choose, because we could go directly to them for what we wanted/needed.
    Their network and relationships in the wedding community in North and Central Florida and beyond is the best, so even though it's "the year of weddings," after a 2 year hold because of COVID, they were able to find us vendors that were the absolute best of the best. They also were happy to work with the vendors we chose that they weren't familiar with.
    Troy, Emily, and John were great!! We live about 3 hours south of them, but they were willing to travel down here several time to meet with us, see the back yard, get details in place, etc. My fiance called them regularly and they were always able to answer his questions or take care of anything. They were great to answer my emails ASAP, as well.
    On the day of the wedding, Janice was our "handler." She spent the day quietly fluttering around getting things in order with the bridesmaids. She was stern when she needed to be (about being on time, getting things going, getting things gathered), but oh so kind when I realized I'd forgotten about 10 things in the middle of the night before the wedding. She calmly took the list from me, asked me where they were and who she could talk to to get them, and took care of it all.
    In the end, I appreciate that JGE can work with any style and make it come to life beautifully. They worked hard, but were fun. They made us laugh, were kind to listen to our stories, and were just a joy overall.
    They are the best.

    Professional, yet laid back feel, no pressure.

    I could not have asked for better for my daughter’s wedding. Anna Joy, Stephanie and the whole JGE team rocked! By far was the best money spent of the entire wedding cost.

    The JGE team is simply the BEST!

    The JGE team is THE BEST, hands down! They recommended the best vendors for us, listened to our dream ideas (while on a budget), and made it a reality (that looked as if there were no budget). I truly could not recommend a planner more. Every detail was so gorgeous and thoughtful! Our wedding couldn't have been more perfect and more "us" which meant a lot. We felt so supported by them the entire time. Thank you to the JGE team for giving us the best wedding day and gift of a lifetime. :) We are forever thankful!

    John Gandy and his events team was an INVALUABLE resource for making my niece’s wedding a TREMENDOUS success! From all the preplanning and collaborating with vendors, to the rehearsal dinner and wedding day, they worked tirelessly to ensure every detail was covered. We can't imagine what we would have done without their creativity, flexibility and professionalism. We are so grateful he was available and took us on as a client.

    On the day of the wedding itself, there was no drama or stress for the family, we simply got to be in the moment and enjoy the day, PRICELESS. The events team had everything under control, they come armed with a full itinerary, everything is so well ORGANIZED. After all the beautiful comments about the bride and groom, everyone seemed to be talking about the incredible décor and all the special touches throughout the space. And that was no easy feat, as the venue only allowed for a small window of time for load-in and set-up. No other wedding planning team would have taken on that challenge, but it didn’t even intimidate John Gandy. They are simply AMAZING and exceeded all our expectations.

    If you are looking to make your wedding memorable and BREATHTAKING, settle for nothing less than John Gandy Events.
