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 Events's reply:
Dear Lisa & Billy -

xoxo,

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 Gatton Events's reply:
Dear A+A,
Thank you SO much for these kind words! What really touches me is that you feel that I heard and respected all of your requests, traditional or untraditional. That is of the utmost importance to me in all of my relationships with my couples. I'm thrilled you had a wonderful wedding day (gorgeous Providence weather!) and send you both all warm wishes as you begin your married journey together. Thank you for choosing me to help bring your big day vision to life!
xoxo,

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 coordinator!
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. -

Sarah F. Sent on 11/10/2018Stephanie 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!! -
Molly Sent on 12/07/2017Jay and I were on the fence about including a wedding planner being the DIY people that we are but WOW! our most incredible wedding decision was hiring Stephanie to oversee the day of coordination. She made everything run seamless while maintaining a smile on her face. What a pleasure it was to work with Stephanie, who made our day special, smooth and peaceful so we could focus on celebrating!
Stephanie Gatton Events's reply:
Dear M+J, thanks so much for the love! Your day was such a delight to be a part of! I thoroughly enjoyed your effervescence and unique ideas on how to make a typical wedding day reflect who you are as a couple. Both the ceremony and lunch at Frankie's 457 and the evening reception at St. Mazie were amazing! Thanks for bringing me on board! xoxo, S -

Lisa P. Sent on 11/03/2017Stephanie was a tremendous help to us and we’d highly recommend her. She’s got a great mix of talents and skills that make her effective and great to work with...and let us start out by saying we didn’t make it easy: we’re 3,000 miles/three timezones away in San Francisco and had a ~320-person wedding at a wedding venue that was untested in the wedding business. Stephanie ended up being the perfect fit and it was as though we were in the same city the entire time. 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!

Lisa + Paul - What beautiful words you have written about your stunning San Francisco wedding! I was truly honored to be a part of your big day - from all of our remote wedding planning sessions, to being with you the day before and day of. I wish you both nothing but happiness and love and thank you for choosing me to be your coordinator! xoxo, S -
