The best!!!!

I chose Stephanies services for our wedding & we couldn’t have been more happy! Stephanie wasn’t available the actual day of our wedding so Anne stepped in & was SO amazing to work with!

I used Stephanie’s “oh shit” package. We spent so much time planning my wedding and We wanted to be able to enjoy it the day of. Anne & Stephanie made that a possibility with their amazing organization skills & communication between us & our vendors. I could not say enough great things about the both of them! Thank you guys so much for being a part of making our wedding a dream come true!

Stephanie Gatton For President

We honestly would not have survived the planning process without Stephanie's guidance and expertise. My husband and I had a fairly eclectic view of how we wanted the day to go- traditional ceremony but untraditional and casual after-party- and Stephanie heard and respected all of our requests. On our wedding day she really shined. She helped us navigate difficult family members, a disaster parking situation, and a million moving pieces, all in a city she did not know! Despite the chaos, we remember our wedding as easy, laid back, and one of the best days of our life. Work with Stephanie! It will be the best money you spend on your wedding.

Stephanie is hands-down, the greatest!

Stephanie is absolutely wonderful! We connected with her instantly, and working with her is one of the best wedding planning choices we made! Stephanie completely understood what our priorities were for our wedding and helped us to stay focused on what was most important to us throughout the planning process. She had great resources and suggestions, and she thought of every single detail. (Stephanie has a background as a stage manager, and it shows! She keeps every single thing organized.)

Stephanie was enthusiastic about our decision to have a whole weekend celebration at our rustic summer camp and helped us think through logistics. There were a lot of logistics, as events were in various buildings throughout camp with separate plans for rain and sun, and half of our guests were staying in cabins without running water or electricity.

Stephanie was warm and encouraging, very easy to communicate with, and ultimately made our wedding weekend feel completely seamless. It was so, so wonderful to be able to immerse ourselves in enjoying the wedding and not worry about any of the vendors or details once it was happening. Many aspects of our wedding were non-traditional, and Stephanie had a lot of ideas to offer to us about how to make them work. Our families loved Stephanie, too, and she did a fantastic job helping to manage them as well. Honestly, we can't say enough great things about Stephanie!!

Stephanie Gatton is the best!

There wasn't a whole lot my husband and I knew for sure during the initial stages of planning our wedding. Do we want a big party or an intimate gathering? Kids welcome or adults only? In the city, or in the country? We didn't want a full-on "wedding planner" as we'd both produced and directed before professionally, and were excited by the prospect of designing everything ourselves. But following just a few meetings with caterers, we acknowledged we'd bitten off a bit more than we could chew. So as soon as we'd finished FaceTiming with Stephanie during our introductory meeting, we jumped for joy and celebrated the first thing we knew with absolute certainty - we'd found our wedding...

Stephanie Gatton was a referral to us from our DJ, 74 Events. It was love at first meeting. She shared with us her extensive experience as a stage manager and we connected over our shared love of the theatre, baseball, dogs, and matrimony (yay!). Stephanie was indispensable to us throughout the entire planning process, from that first virtual meeting to making sure we had all the wedding cake we wanted before leaving the venue. She made sure we remained on track with everything and was was consistently responsive, professional, organized and just plain lovely.

We wish we could hire her again! Do yourself a favor and get Stephanie to help plan and run your wedding. You'll be so glad you did.

In the early months of our engagement we had decided that we would not be hiring a Month-Of Coordinator. We were trying to find ways to cut costs and figured it would be nearly impossible for someone to be more familiar with our wedding than we were. That decision changed when I went to my best friend's wedding and saw the benefits of having someone who could "handle" the day so that you could enjoy it. Our search began and we ended up with a coordinator (not Stephanie...our road to her was a little bumpy) around October of 2016. Our wedding was in March 2017 so we felt really great and proactive.

In the early months of our engagement we had decided that we would not be hiring a Month-Of Coordinator. We were trying to find ways to cut costs and figured it would be nearly impossible for someone to be more familiar with our wedding than we were. That decision changed when I went to my best friend's wedding and saw the benefits of having someone who could "handle" the day so that you could enjoy it. Our search began and we ended up with a coordinator (not Stephanie...our road to her was a little bumpy) around October of 2016. Our wedding was in March 2017 so we felt really great and proactive. In January our original coordinator could no longer work our wedding and we of course were freaking out. She handled the whole situation wonderfully and sent over a list of people who she thought would be a good fit for us; one of the name's on the list was Stephanie Gatton. As soon as I saw that she used to be a Stage Manager (I'm an Actress) I was sold and she was the only person we contacted. We met with her and our respect and affection for her was instant. In the month leading up to our wedding Stephanie designed our floor plan from scratch, dealt with all of our vendors, met us at very unusual times to accommodate my show schedule AND ended up doing the calligraphy for our place cards (they were gorgeous). As soon as we hired Stephanie it was hard to imagine ever working with anyone else or that we had ever considered doing this on our own. Our wedding day was truly the best day of our lives and Stephanie made sure that that happened. We were supposed to have her the whole time and even though getting to her was a little hairy, we are so grateful that we did. Cut out all of the middle men and just hire her first! You'll be happy you did!

On top of every detail

Stephanie was recommended to us by the events manager at our reception venue, and we are so glad she helped us coordinate our wedding. After having to postpone and then cancel our Italian wedding this year, we reached out to Stephanie only 6 weeks from our newly planned wedding date to help get the ball rolling and keep us sane. She thought of every single detail (including delivery and return of rental linens) and created an amazing master schedule for us, our family, and our vendors that I could not have imagined creating myself. With just a few weeks to plan our COVID wedding, Stephanie looked into every safety requirement and made sure that we felt comfortable and supported...

Stephanie was essential to helping our wedding run smoothly and I highly recommend her to any couple who needs a coordinator or planner who will go above and beyond (and ensure you think of everything!) for your wedding.

wedding day pro

Thankfully Stephanie agreed on very short notice to step in and help with our October 2020 wedding, acting as day-of coordinator so we could finally relax and better enjoy our wedding day. It worked!! She is very friendly and well organized, and directed the ceremony and reception like a pro so all the pieces happened on time and without a hitch. We knew that we could rely on her to get the details right, and she did. If we could do it over again, we probably would have hired her sooner!

Stephanie is the best!

As the mother of a bride who lives on the other coast, I needed some major organizational help. Stephanie was amazing. She not only broke down all the details that needed sorting in a timely way, but also on the day of the wedding when we had to adjust for torrential rain, she saved my life. Stephanie was, calm, organized and creative so that in the end, the drama of the rain storm added to the magic of the evening. She and her helper/husband, who is a master electrician, took care of every last detail with calm professionalism. Our guests told us it was one of the most fabulous events they'd ever attended. Stephanie is the BEST.

The Best Planner We Could Have Chosen!

Stephanie is an amazing planner and we highly recommend that anyone planning a wedding seek her out! She was so warm and friendly, super organized, and consistently available whenever we had questions or a problem came up in the planning stages. Stephanie has great relationships with amazing vendors and helped us plan our dream winter wedding at the Greenpoint Loft with the best food, photography, flowers, and so much more for our big day. Stephanie was an absolute pro on the day of the wedding, coordinating all the moving pieces, and shielding us from the stress of surprise cancellations and plus ones. We couldn't have pulled off a wedding half as fantastic as ours turned out to be without Stephanie!

We can't recommend Stephanie highly enough!!

We decided to do a DIY wedding, but realized early on that we would need a coordinator for the day-of to keep everything on track and manage all the moving parts. We can’t tell you how glad we are that we found Stephanie, as she did this and so much more! From our first phone call with her it was clear we were in good hands: she made us feel that it was possible for us to achieve our vision for our DIY wedding, while giving us a much-needed plan for the months leading up to it and things we needed to keep in mind for the day-of.

From our first phone call with her it was clear we were in good hands: she made us feel that it was possible for us to achieve our vision for our DIY wedding, while giving us a much-needed plan for the months leading up to it and things we needed to keep in mind for the day-of. We immediately felt like we were in good hands and that we could trust her to answer ANY question, but more often than not she would spot a potential question or problem coming even before we did, and already have the solution for it. She is extremely experienced in event planning and wedding production, and whether you’re doing DIY or full service she will absolutely have your back.

While she gave us a sense of security in the months leading up to the wedding, she blew us away on our actual wedding day! She completely exceeded our expectations as far as how efficient, organized, and on top of every detail she was. She completely understood our vision and executed it perfectly. One thing we were especially stressed about was the timing of the music during our ceremony, since we didn’t have a DJ but had several music changes. With her background in theater production, Stephanie handled this as though it were nothing at all. We really were able to enjoy the wedding and time with our guests, without having to worry about if we were on time or if the music was going to be cued at the right moment or if the people involved in the day knew their cues. If you want someone who will run your wedding like a tight ship and take care of details you didn’t even realize needed to be taken care of, Stephanie offers a total peace of mind. We cannot recommend her highly enough!!

Stephanie is a godsend!

Stephanie was an absolute godsend in helping me bring together my wedding. I chose the "Oh Shit!" Package and got married in October 2018. After seeing great reviews online, I contacted Stephanie for a consultation and by the end of the call I was basically asking her to take my money. Once you book her services she provides super super helpful wedding "cheat sheets" that aid all things planning (timeline, guest list, tipping sheet, etc.). Stephanie is professional, thorough, collaborative, and so sweet. Stephanie is very responsive and brings great ideas to the table if you struggle with indecisiveness (like me). I had most of my vendors booked by the time I consulted with her and really needed support...

Not only did the day of timeline go smoothly, the venue looked AMAZING and she was the point person for the vendors. I am so glad I chose Stephanie because I did not once feel worried on my wedding day and was actually able to enjoy it! I would definitely recommend Stephanie Gatton!

Stephanie was an absolute pleasure to work with. A true professional, she both leveraged her expertise when needed but also made sure I felt heard and understood in the decision making process. She offered her advice and reassurances and truly put me at ease. The day was absolutely seamless thanks to her and I felt like I could relax and enjoy as opposed to worrying about the details!

I cannot recommend Stephanie enough, she is truly exceptional. My wife and I got married in July 2018 and our wedding could not have been better thanks to her. It goes without saying that planning a wedding can be a daunting task, and one of the best choices we made was hiring Stephanie. She is tremendously hard working, responsive, and on top of every single detail. She ensured our wedding was absolutely perfect and made every step of the way completely seamless. She truly goes above and beyond for her clients, so much so that we jokingly told her she should be charging us more after we saw just how hard she worked for us. Thank you for everything Stephanie!

Hiring Stephanie was the best wedding decision we made! Her organizational and planning skills made the event run so smoothly that we could focus entirely on having the best day of our lives. She was extremely accommodating to the fact that we wanted to DIY some aspects of the event, and never made us feel guilty for doing so. We could not have imagined a better day!

To quote our photographer: “There need to be more Stephanie’s in the world”.

We could not have been happier that we chose Stephanie to help us with our wedding! She was incredibly professional, extremely organized, really quick to respond to email, and overall very easy to work with. We were feeling a bit stressed with the wedding approaching, but once we started working with Stephanie she did everything she could to take things off of our plate and make us feel more at ease. Our caterers were not the easiest to work with, and Stephanie completely took over communicating with them and sorted everything out so we wouldn't have to. She even came up with a genius trick for arranging the flowers on our cake. What a rock star! We highly recommend her!

Our wedding would absolutely not have been the perfect day it was without Stephanie. We hired her for her month-of coordination, as well as to help us find our other vendors. Even though Stephanie is based in New York and we live in/got married in Philadelphia, we never felt there was any issue in her being out of town. Having never planned a wedding before, we had no idea who we needed, and what to look for. Stephanie was invaluable in helping find our equally amazing photographers, DJ, and florist.

She even made sure to meet me to chat in person when I was in New York for a weekend. During the last “month-of” Stephanie delt with all final arrangements, made schedules for all the vendors and coordinated their arrivals at the venue. When we had surprise rain storms pop up on the forecast a few days before, Stephanie helped take care of everything we needed to make sure our wedding stayed dry. On the day of, I never felt nervous about the events of the day, or making sure that things went as planned, because I knew they would! I would have Stephanie plan my daily life if that were possible.

It was not my wedding (I was the sister of the Groom/"Best Lady") and Stephanie came highly recommend. Groom was skeptical that they needed a day-of planner, but Stephanie completely converted him. She is a total pro - was anticipating things we didn't even think about. Direct quote: "hiring her was the best money we spent." I can't imagine what the day would have been like without her, but with her, it was perfect. I cannot thank her enough!

Stephanie helped us identify the perfect caterer for our wedding. We were looking for something different from typical wedding food and Stephanie connected us with a wonderful caterer who provided us with fabulous food.

Stephanie was extremely easy to work with over the entire process of planning and having our wedding. She was very flexible about meeting times and locations and was always available when we needed her. Stephanie was always responsive to all of our questions (even the pointless ones that were really just anxiety talking, and she went further and realized the root of the problem).

The timeline that she created for the wedding really helped keep us and our families on track. On the day of our wedding, Stephanie took care of every detail and issue that arose. There was a potentially disastrous issue that was seamlessly fixed (with many trips to the hardware store) and we never knew.

The process of planning the wedding with Stephanie's help meant that she knew exactly what decision we'd make on the day of without needing to ask us. Stephanie thought of things that wouldn't have occurred to us, like renting a high chair for a toddler. Stephanie also identified someone in the wedding party who could assist her to take care of things when she couldn't be in two places at once. This was really helpful and took the pressure off of us on the day of the wedding.

After talking with Stephanie for 5 minutes we could tell right away that we were in good hands for our wedding at Sleepy Hollow Country Club. From the first day we spoke through the wedding day itself, Stephanie made sure our wedding was planned for and executed seamlessly. My wife and I knew that anything she was involved with would run smoothly. She limited the thinking and worrying we needed to do and made sure the things that were important to us were taken care of. Her contributions allowed us to truly enjoy our wedding day without worrying about the execution of the wedding itself.

Our first meeting (Google Hangout) showed her sensible and thorough approach as she sought to understand our vision, likes/dislikes, constraints, what we had done to date, etc. Out of that she produced a logical, thoughtful proposal. Everything Stephanie does is transparent, and she’s open to changes in direction (like when we’d forget to mention something important or fail to tell her about a certain constraint we had). She's highly collaborative. We appreciated her creative and helpful ideas as well as her communications style very much: a nice balance of listening to understand what we wanted and didn’t want, and offering ideas/suggestions when we were unsure or her experience told her there was a better way. When debating whether to have a cake vs. dessert table, she came back to us almost immediately with great ideas. When we decided to go cake table, but supplement with ice cream sandwiches, Stephanie’s ideas were abundant and helpful including options of where to get the treats and how to display them and ensure they didn’t melt! When the inevitable anxiety crept in about three weeks out, Stephanie helped us to take a breath and break things up into manageable pieces and prioritize. Her calm, organized, proactive, and positive approach was absolutely critical in getting us over the finish line. Finally, Stephanie is the perfect blend of meticulously prepared but also cool and calm when things go awry—and, yes, something's not going to go perfectly—so that combo is like gold. Thank you, Stephanie!

Stephanie Gatton made it a lot easier for everyone involved in planning our son’s wedding at Sleepy Hollow Country Club, graciously and effectively coordinating with the bride and groom, parents, vendors, and venue. She was part of our team three months in advance of the wedding and I wish that we had found her sooner. The wedding was beautiful and we were all able to enjoy it fully because Stephanie was there.

Stephanie was the ultimate dream coordinator. She was extremely organized, accessible and on-top-of-it! I couldn't have asked for anyone better to handle my big day. Stephanie took care of everything from creating maps of my ever-changing seating chart and following up with my vendors, to texting my sister a gentle reminder that I should be getting into my dress when it was that time on the day-of (I had obviously gotten very distracted so I distinctly remember being very grateful at that moment that someone was keeping us on schedule!). I am so very happy I left things in her very capable hands.
