    The Best Day Ever !!!

    Working with The Wedding Connection was one of the best decisions we made. Gab and her team went above and beyond to bring our vision to life in the most seamless and beautiful way.

    Every detail was thoughtfully executed, and the timeline was flawless — everything ran on schedule, allowing us to truly enjoy every moment. Communication with the venue wasn’t always easy, but Gab handled everything behind the scenes and made sure it was all completely on point. Destination weddings aren’t easy given sometimes there are language barriers, and Gabrielle took on every single task and handled It with ease. I am the biggest worrier, and she answered every question I had and had patience with me from the very beginning. She always made me feel like I was heard when I had new ideas or concerns.

    Our guests are still talking about it — so many said it was the most beautiful wedding they’ve ever been to and also the most fun. The pictures speak for themselves! The colors, the flowers, the list goes on!!! They also said there was NOTHING we didn’t think of! These are the best compliments since so much planning went behind this day!

    Beyond everything, I truly feel like I made a lifelong friend in Gab, which made the entire experience even more special. I hope to stay in touch and whenever someone asks me for a recommendation it’s her name that comes to mind first. She is genuine, sweet, and hilarious and exactly the person you want on your side for your big day. She will do whatever It takes to make your vision come to life!

    We are incredibly grateful for Gab!! If you want a stunning, stress-free wedding, The Wedding Connection is it. LOOK NO FURTHER!!!

    Above and beyond in every way

    There truly aren’t enough words to describe how incredible Gab and The Wedding Connection Team are. She is an absolute MUST for any couple planning a wedding—especially on a 6 month timeline. I’m very type B, and there is no way I could have pulled off the wedding we had without her.

    Gab was so much more than an event coordinator—she was my go-to person and saving grace throughout the entire process. She is knowledgeable, professional, approachable, and genuinely an amazing human. She was always one step ahead, thinking of details I hadn’t even considered. She checked in after every appointment, trial, and fitting, helped map out every transition, and handled last-minute changes—like adding vendors the week of and planning for a family member with mobility concerns walking down the aisle—with total ease.

    On the wedding day, she handled everything flawlessly, even navigating a difficult church team so I could stay calm and fully present. When one of my flower girls didn’t make it down the aisle, Gab had bubbles ready to keep her entertained during the ceremony—just one example of how prepared and thoughtful she is.

    You truly feel like family working with TWC. Because of their hard work, we were able to fully enjoy every moment of our day. My only regret is not hiring Gab sooner and letting her plan the entire wedding.

    TWC saved my wedding day

    I truly will never be able to adequately thank the entire TWC team for everything they did before, during, and after our wedding day to make it perfect. When we arrived at our venue, we were shocked to see that our ceremony had been set up indoors, despite planning for an outdoor ceremony. The weather was absolutely beautiful, yet for some reason, our venue had our ceremony set up in a dark, cramped room that didn’t even have enough seating for our guests.

    Before I could even begin to panic, Gab and Paige stepped in with such calm, professionalism. Within just hours of our guests arriving, they coordinated and moved our entire ceremony outdoors- giant flower arch and all. They quite literally saved our wedding day.

    But what they did goes beyond that- they made our wedding day feel seamless, joyful, and perfect.

    I would also be remiss not to highlight the incredible work Ashley did in the months leading up to our wedding. As a paralegal, I’m extremely detail oriented and have difficult relinquishing control of projects, our wedding being the most important “project” of my life. But from the moment Ashley stepped in, I felt an immediate sense of relief. She handled and organized absolutely everything with precision and care. Her level of organization is unmatched, and it ensured that every detail came together flawlessly.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you, Gab, Paige, and Ashley. We would hire TWC a million times over without hesitation.

    The best of the best!

    I hired Gab and her team in December 2025 ahead of my March 2026 wedding, and as a Type A, control-loving bride, I truly thought I had everything handled and didn’t need a coordinator—turns out, I couldn’t have been more wrong. The final three months before the wedding are easily the most overwhelming, with vendors reconnecting after nearly a year, but Gab and her team were completely on top of it all. Even when vendors reached out to me directly, all I had to do was loop Gab in and it was immediately handled.

    Ashley’s quick responses and seamless communication with vendors gave me total peace of mind that everyone was aligned. Gab’s weekly check-ins—just to remind me she was there for anything—meant so much, and her support on the wedding day was truly invaluable. Allie and Emily made sure my husband and I could be fully present, soaking in every moment without worrying about a single detail.

    I’m beyond grateful to Gab and the TWC team for taking such incredible care of us and delivering exactly what they promised: the most perfect wedding day.

    Simply the Best

    Gabrielle and her company, The Wedding Connection, were incredible from start to finish. We truly weren’t sure what kind of wedding we wanted, which meant Gabrielle explored many different avenues with us—and she did so patiently and without hesitation. She completely held our hand through the process, helping us weigh pros and cons, and I really appreciated that she wasn’t afraid to offer her honest opinion and guidance when we needed it.
    We were definitely indecisive at times and not always the easiest clients, but Gabrielle never wavered. She stuck with us, supported us, and helped us confidently come to decisions. Anytime I felt stressed, overwhelmed, or unsure about timing or next steps, she was always just a phone call away. She truly acts like a therapist during those high-stress wedding moments, which was invaluable.
    One of the biggest reliefs was not having to start from zero. Wedding planning is stressful enough, and Gabrielle handled so much of the legwork—reaching out to vendors, gathering pricing, and even negotiating on our behalf. Every vendor she connected us with was wonderful to work with, genuinely kind people, and respectful of our budget.
    I can’t stress enough how amazing it was not to worry about the countless details that come with planning such a huge event. Because of Gabrielle and her incredible network, we were able to be fully present and truly enjoy our favorite day. Thank you so much, Gab—we couldn’t have done this without you!!!

    Bride’s wing woman!

    As the MOB I heard my daughter speak about all the research she did to find the most affordable Vendors.
    When discussing Wedding day plans, she wanted someone to oversee & make sure her vision was executed. As her voice of reason, I admit having doubts in spending money on unnecessary things. I stand corrected. The value Gabi brought to my daughter’s Wedding Day was beyond worth the investment.
    The amount of time dedicated to details, getting to know the Bride & Groom’s dream day, is valued at an imeasurable amount of money. From the minute Gabi walked in to the Bridal Suite, my daughter completely changed into a calm Bride who knew her day was about to be perfect having her Wing Woman next to her, walking her through the day & making sure we all were in sync with the time line of the day. I highly recommend Gabi & her team whether you are taking notes at the Weddings you are attending or already started planning your dream Wedding. Thank you Gabi! Every detail was BEYOND my imagination 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

    The Wedding Connection is the best

    Gabby and the whole team were amazing. They were invaluable assets being that I’m a guy and had no idea what to do. They took care of everything leading up to and on the day of the wedding which was the single greatest day of my life. Thanks Gab! You’re a rockstar. 10/10 two thumbs up. Would eat here again.

    The BEST of the best.

    I was a bride that thought I could do it all myself but the day of your wedding you do not want to have to worry. Things will go wrong no matter how much planning you’ve done, and that’s just one of the many reasons working with Gab was the best decisions we ever made. People are still telling us how perfect the night was planned out, how they can’t believe how much we danced even with a pasta course… little would they know we actually had to pivot from the timeline in real time.. all because of Gabs work behind the scenes to ensure everything ran as smoothly as possible. She is the most hardworking person I know and gave me so much reassurance from our very first phone call. You’re not just hiring a business when you hire TWC, you’re hiring someone who wants your day to be as perfect as you do and she puts her EVERYTHING into it. You literally need Gab.. no questions asked. Just trust me!!

    Twc is a must

    As a self-proclaimed Type A bride, I went into wedding planning wanting every detail to be perfect — timelines, décor, vendors, you name it. From our very first conversation, Gab & Ashley completely put me at ease. They were organized, proactive, and always one step ahead, anticipating things I hadn’t even thought of. On the wedding day, they made everything flow so seamlessly. Every vendor knew exactly where to be, every detail was executed flawlessly, and any potential hiccups were handled.

    Because of The Wedding Connection, my husband and I were able to be truly present — laughing, dancing, and celebrating with our loved ones without an ounce of stress. It was the greatest gift we could have asked for on the happiest day of our lives.

    If you’re a detail-oriented bride who wants to actually enjoy your wedding day, do yourself a favor and hire TWC.

    Love,
    The Purnhagens

    A Perfect NYC Wedding Thanks to TWC!

    We hired Gabrielle and TWC team as our 3-month coordinator for our October wedding in New York City. To put it simply: this wedding would not have been so perfect, smooth and beautiful without their tremendous help. Hands down the best decision we made in wedding planning was hiring TWC.

    Gabrielle took charge in every instance - from the weeks leading up to the wedding and throughout our wonderful day. Although a handful of issues arose with our unique venue (a yacht traveling around NYC), Gabrielle and her team were able to find a perfect solution to each, which enabled us to truly enjoy the day and not worry about our vision coming to life.

    Her feedback and advice leading up was incredibly helpful, and we cannot thank Gabrielle and her team for being there for us every step of the way -- they really went above and beyond.

    Gabrielle & the TWC team truly delivered perfection. We would recommend them to anyone and everyone getting married!!

    Can't recommend TWC enough!!!!

    Can't recommend Gab and her team enough!!! We went the non-traditional route and separated out our ceremony and celebration by a few weeks. After doing some research many people recommended a day of coordinator, which led us to TWC. Even though we only worked on "day of coordination" Gab and Ashley went way above that. Their attention to detail is unmatched, and they provided updates/info on things before they were even asked. It was such a blessing to be able to enjoy the celebration and not have to worry about anything. Would work with Gab and her team again in a heartbeat!!!

    Manhattan Summer Wedding 2025

    Gabrielle and her team were amazing. We had them as a partial planning/coordinating crew and they went above and beyond. They made sure things ran smoothly the day of, and when I realized I had forgotten to order the late night food, Gab took care of it. She connected us with amazing vendors like Flowers by Brian and MJ Event Signage, and she worked seamlessly with those we already had signed with. Would absolutely recommend Gab and Ashley and Paige to anyone looking to make their special day a success!

    Twc is a must for your wedding

    TWC IS A ABSOLUTE BEYOND MUST FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS THEIR WEDDING DAY TO BE LEGIT THE DEFINITION OF PERFECTLY SEAMLESS. i'm the most type A bride there was, and originally refused to have a coordinator because i thought i could do it myself and that was not the case. i cant even write in this space given what TWC did for my wedding bc it was any and everything. the amount of behind the scenes tasks that that needed to be done that i had no idea about, GOT DONE. my wedding truly would not have been what it was without them. the service was 100/10 the way they cared about my wedding was an amazing feeling. i will never forget one specific moment i had with Gab the owner of TWC, i said to her " i feel like you care about my wedding like it's your wedding" she said "i do, because every wedding i do is my wedding and i want the best for everyone" and it showed from the minute i booked to the end of the wedding

    You need a wedding planner and TWC!

    Hiring The Wedding Connection was, without a doubt, the BEST decision I made for our wedding. To give you some context: I thought I could plan everything on my own and didn't think I needed a planner. (Big mistake!) At first, I worked with a catering company that promised an “all-inclusive” package, but it turned out to be a disaster. I was left scrambling and feeling completely overwhelmed, so I reached out to Gab in a complete panic. I sent her the contract and, within minutes, she jumped in and started picking up the pieces that I had no idea how to fix. One thing she said about the contract we were dealing with really stuck with me: “It's like reading a contract in a different language.” When you don’t have experience as a wedding planner, it's so easy to overlook things that could cause huge problems later. Gab’s expertise meant that we avoided all of those pitfalls and ended up with a day that felt seamless. I had hired a day-of team, but they simply wouldn’t have been able to handle the level of coordination and problem-solving Gab brought to the table. Gab didn’t just "manage" the day; she was the calm in the storm that I didn’t know I needed. A big lesson for me was realizing the true value of working with a planner who has relationships with trusted vendors. I had initially thought I was being cost-conscious by choosing the cheapest options, but Gab helped me understand that sometimes, you really do get what you pay for. The days leading up to the wedding, Gab was in constant communication with the catering team, and all my vendors coordinating delivery times, which was a huge relief for me because I couldn’t imagine worrying about those details myself. On the wedding day itself, Gab and her team executed everything flawlessly. I felt like I could relax and enjoy the day because I knew that she had everything under control. Our guests keep raving about how smoothly everything went, and I have Gab to thank for that. She not only got the job done, but she did it with such grace, always taking time to support me individually and make me feel special. As an anxious bride, that constant reassurance and communication was PRICELESS. If you're on the fence about whether or not you need a planner, think about how you want to feel on your wedding day. Do you want to be stressed and running around, or do you want to show up knowing everything has been taken care of? Gab’s work alleviates that stress in a way I never could have imagined. The only thing I would have changed is bringing Gab on board SOONER! Thank you, Gab, for turning what could have been a chaotic situation into a dream wedding. You’re worth every penny, and I’m so grateful for you!

    From a type A planner bride, you still NEED gab!

    I am a very type A person who wanted to pick out all my vendors myself and had the excel spreadsheet with the budgets and all the planning stuff and for a second thought, “why do I need a coordinator” and I’ve never looked back since hiring Gab and her team. She thought of all the little things that I would have NEVER thought of and never crossed my mind. She put together the most amazing day of packet that had every single thing- load in times, schedule, shot list, and organized all of the communication between all vendors when to be honest a bride doesn’t have the time to do all of that the week or day of the wedding. Hiring a coordinator does not mean you aren’t capable of planning or that you aren’t organized, it’s about having someone whose sole job is to make sure things go smoothly, to think of things you wouldn’t think of, to worry about things that the bride and families of shouldn’t have to worry about and with the wedding connection, you also get a close friend. I had a call with gab the day after the wedding to find out things that went wrong that Gab fixed SO QUICKLY that I never even knew something was wrong. Things will go wrong at your wedding but hiring the wedding connection means it won’t ever be big enough to impact your day.
    ALSO AMAZING COST!!! They OUT DID themselves and are worth SO MUCH. They are more reasonable than any other coordinators out there and do 10x more than what they are “required” to do.
    You shouldn’t even question hiring Gab!!! She also had her team of Hayley and Catherine and I’ve never felt more comfortable with women that I just met. All three of them were so professional, helped with family drama, kept me calm when I lost something very important and just helped keep the energy high. I seriously don’t know what I would’ve done without them all.

    Invaluable!!!!!

    Hiring The Wedding Connection team for our wedding day was the best decision in the wedding planning process. Gabby made us feel so at ease and taken care of from the first phone call, and having Ashley and Paige on board once the planning process started only added to that. My husband and I are not type A individuals, and we massively benefited from the structure that the Wedding Connection team provided. They helped us dream up a wedding day beyond our imagination, and we would not have made it to the wedding day without them. They managed so much that we had little stress throughout the wedding planning process. Best of all, the day of the wedding, Ashley and Paige brought such calm energy and handled every little issue that popped up throughout the day -- my dress strap broke and Paige hand-sewed it back on, and I later heard of minor little hiccups that were managed so swiftly that I had no idea they were happening on day of the wedding. We even had guests of the wedding comment on Ashley and Paige's efficiency and ability to keep things organized, making the day noticeably smooth to our guests! I've had many friends use wedding planners only to be disappointed on the wedding day, and in our circumstance, that couldn't be further from reality. We love this team! They made magic happen and were an invaluable part of our day.

    Best Decision Ever

    Gab and her team are absolutely must haves for your wedding. Every step of the way she was there to not only listen to our vision but she knew exactly how to make it come to life. Gab knows everything and everyone it seems in the industry and throughout the entire process she got us the best of everything we could have asked for! She was so great at helping us get the venue of our dreams and she helped us get every detail perfect, even the very many details we did not even think of ourselves. There is so much involved in preparing for the big day but Gab was able to make everything seem less like a chore and more like an exciting part of our wedding journey.

    Gab is so well organized, prompt, and willing to go above and beyond to help you get your big day perfect. She was so great at making me and my husband feel special and heard throughout the process, and she really did feel more like a friend than a planner towards the end. Throughout the time leading up to the wedding and especially on the big day itself she was so on top of everything and had a solution for every single thing that may have come our way.

    What made Gab and her team stand out so much was how comfortable, even on the big day while I was a wreck, she made me feel when I would go to her with the many questions I had leading up to the ceremony. At every single step in the process I felt like I could call Gab with any dumb questions or ideas I had and she was ready and willing to genuinely listen and help.

    Can’t say enough about Gab and her fabulous team and I can’t recommend them enough. There is absolutely nobody else I would have trusted with this special moment in my life.

    Hire Gab and TWC ASAP!!

    I am nearly unable to find the words to explain how grateful I am to Gab, Ash and Paige. I truly do not think my wedding day would have been half as amazing without them by my side.

    The minute Gab came on board she was fixing my timeline issues, recommending vendors and handling coordination across multiple events all while putting me at ease and making me feel comfortable coming to her with anything.

    From the second Gab arrived at my church rehearsal, she eased any worry or anxiety I had. Though by the time of my wedding, I was anxiety free because the team had helped me think through every little detail for the ceremony ahead of time, counseled me on details as small as our reception entrance and meticulously put together a weekend packet of information to keep everyone on track. On the day of my wedding the team coordinated every aspect of the many moving parts seamlessly. Any little thing I needed or could think of, the girls had or had already handled. At one point I asked for deodorant and mouthwash during my reception and the girls produced both instantly! They bustled my HUGE dress quickly, took it back to the bridal suite and left our meals from the venue in our fridge - what amazing service is that!!

    I cannot recommend hiring TWC enough. Save yourself future stress and headache and hire the best team in the NYC area.

    Outstanding Wedding Planner

    We cannot say enough wonderful things about Gab and her team. She helped plan our son’s wedding and the entire experience was nothing short of exceptional. The wedding was supposed to be outdoors on the water, but the weather didn’t cooperate. Gab, Ashely and Paige made sure that the last minute indoor ceremony was beyond incredible!!! It was clear that they wanted the day to be perfect and it truly was. Gab was a pleasure to work with and made the entire planning process stress-free for our family!!! We can’t thank her enough.

    Gabrielle & The Wedding Connection—The Best Decision We Made!

    Choosing Gabrielle was, without a doubt, the best decision we made during the entire wedding planning journey! I am beyond grateful for her and her incredible team. At first, the idea of planning a wedding felt overwhelming—I worried I wouldn’t know where to start or how to keep everything on track. But from day one, Gab was by our side, making the entire process seamless and stress-free. She handled every deadline, mapped out our planning schedule, and introduced us to the most amazing vendors (seriously, she has the best connections)!!
    Then, the day before our wedding, unexpected weather forced us to rethink our entire setup—but Gab worked her magic, ensuring that our vision not only stayed intact but turned out even better than we had imagined. Gabrielle is so much more than just a planner; she became my friend, cheerleader, problem-solver, and even an honorary family member. I truly can’t imagine our wedding without her and her phenomenal team! On the big day, Gab, Paige, and Ashley kept everything running smoothly, handled every little hiccup—including saving my dress when it unexpectedly broke—and made sure we soaked in every magical moment. Thanks to them, our wedding was beyond perfect, and I couldn’t be more thankful!

    Don’t Think Twice – Hire The Wedding Connection

    Deciding to hire Gabrielle from The Wedding Connection was the best decision my wife and I made. As soon as Gabrielle ["Gab"] entered the picture, we felt a sense of stress release and began to enjoy the engagement wedding planning period. She handled everything down to the smallest detail with meticulousness and in a timely manner. Even though we are extremely thorough and organized, there is no way I would have been able to pull everything off seamlessly and enjoy our daughter’s big day to the degree that we did. Gabrielle and Ashley came up with really great ideas and recommendations, treated us like royalty and were very proactive. Gabrielle was very communicative, available day or night, seven days a week. She was always professional and attentive to the smallest of details. I think it is rare for people to say they enjoyed the whole planning process, but Gabrielle made everything much easier and enjoyable. Gabrielle and Ashley, our Dream Team, exceeded all of our expectations and brought our wedding vision to life and then some. Don’t think twice, as they significantly reduce the stress away on the big wedding day and are worth every penny!! This is a “no brainer decision”- hire them for your wedding…you will not be disappointed.

    Obsessed with Gab, Ashley and TWC

    I have to start off by saying I was totally on the fence about working with a wedding planner. I had been such a control freak throughout the planning process that I didn’t think I needed help. I WAS DEAD WRONG. You can’t even imagine how many things go wrong the week leading up to the big day. It would’ve been IMPOSSIBLE without this crew!! So if you’re on the fence about a wedding planner— DO IT! That’s first of all. Now let me tell you why TWC is the best in the business. Not only are they super organized, but they cut out all the bulls***. No beating around the bush, no phoniness, Gab knows how to be efficient and get things done. They did everything a wedding planner is supposed to do but it was the way they communicate and how direct they are that me confident we were in the best hands. They put out every fire so we were truly able to ENJOY our special day!!!

    The Wedding Connection (TWC) – A Dream Team of Wedding Magic

    Hiring The Wedding Connection for event management (their elevated approach to “day-of coordination”) was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the moment we signed our contract, we weren’t just planning an event—we were stepping into a fully personalized, expertly supported experience.

    Gabrielle (Gab), Paige, and Ashley make up a team that’s not only knowledgeable but deeply in tune with what truly matters on your wedding day. TWC doesn’t believe in swooping in at the last minute—because, as they rightfully say, no good planner could actually just show up on the “day of.” Instead, they’re there with you from the moment you become a client, helping guide decisions, offering insider resources, and making the entire planning journey feel less overwhelming and a lot more joyful.

    What sets them apart? It’s their genuine understanding of the wedding industry and how to tailor it to you. Every TWC couple receives a 39-page custom timeline (yes, really), and every detail is meticulously thought through. But more than that, they take the time to truly get to know you and your partner—what lights you up, what stresses you out, and what your vision really is (even if you can’t quite articulate it yet).

    The sooner you bring them on board, the more you’ll benefit. Even with our event management package, we felt wrapped in support from day one. It’s not just coordination—it’s care. It’s having a steady, capable team who becomes an extension of your family for the months leading up to your big day.

    And to anyone wondering, “Do I really need a wedding planner?”—my husband would be the first to tell you: yes. 1000 times yes. He now swears that the wedding wouldn’t have been possible without Gab and her team. And there’s nothing better than sitting on your honeymoon, replaying every perfect moment, while your husband keeps saying, “Hiring The Wedding Connection was the smartest thing we did.”

    Thank you, Gab, Paige, Ashley—you didn’t just make our wedding happen, you made it better than we could have dreamed.

    Greatest wedding planner ever

    I am the father of the bride.
    I did not have much to do with any planning of the event.
    About two weeks before the big day, I had some questions about something on the bill from the venue.
    I called Gabrielle for the first time.
    She could not have been more accommodating and explained everything very clearly.
    I had no idea how much a planner does, until the day of.
    We had 243 guests coming.
    There were 11 groomsmen and 8 bridesmaids.
    There are so many moving parts to the day.
    Gabrielle had two other women with her the day of, you need them all.
    They keep everything moving and on time.
    You can imagine just how many photos there were.
    Every vendor that she helped my daughter pick, were exceptional.
    The build outs were gorgeous, the food over the top.
    The band was amazing.
    Gabrielle and her people put in 18 hours on wedding day.
    My daughter’s wedding would not have been as wonderful without Gab and her team.
    Best money spent .
    If you think you don’t need a planner, think again.
    Gabrielle was so amazing, we have made her part of the family.

    Best Decision Ever!

    You NEED Gab and The Wedding Connection! I don’t even think words can truly convey how thankful we are for her. The second we got engaged; the anxiety hit. How were we going to pull off planning a wedding? A couple months later, we spoke to Gab and immediately that anxiety disappeared. We didn’t even need to speak to anyone else: we knew Gab was the one for the job. She cares so much about her clients and will go above and beyond to make sure they are happy and everything is perfect. Her communication is top notch; she was always there when we needed her. From figuring out our vision, to booking our amazing vendors, ensuring the wedding day ran smoothly, and everything in between, she was by our side, guiding us every step of the way. Some may question if hiring a wedding planner and coordinator for your wedding is worth it, but when you’re hiring The Wedding Connection, it 100000% is. Gab planned and coordinated the most incredible day, and we truly believe there would have been no wedding day without her.

    Gab was a lifesaver!

    Gab was a lifesaver. Living in Florida and planning a wedding in New York, Gab helped in making the process much easier than it would have been. She was there every step of the way guiding my daughter and her future husband to choose the venue, band, florist, etc, all within our specified budget. She was always there when needed, and at times she seemed like one of our family. The wedding turned out to be A++ and I wouldn't have changed a thing. We will miss our regular conversations regarding wedding planning. I highly recommend that you hire her for your wedding planning. I guarantee you will not be sorry.

    The Wedding Connection Review

    I had the pleasure of working with Gab for my intimate wedding at Fouquet's New York, and I cannot recommend her enough! I tend to be very particular about the details, and I was honestly a bit nervous about how everything would come together. However, Gab exceeded every expectation I had. From the very beginning, she was attentive, patient, and truly listened to my vision. She made sure that every single element was in place and perfectly aligned with what I had imagined.

    Gab's organizational skills are impeccable, and her ability to keep everything running smoothly on the day of the wedding was a true lifesaver. Her attention to detail was outstanding, from the decor to the timing of every event. I never had to worry about a thing because I knew Gab had it all covered.

    What I loved most was how she made me feel like my ideas and dreams were truly important to her. Gab worked tirelessly to bring everything to life with such grace and professionalism. My wedding day was everything I had hoped for and more, thanks to her. I couldn't have asked for a better planner to guide me through this special journey. Thank you, Gab, for making my dream wedding a reality!

    Best investment EVER

    Deciding to hire Gabrielle from The Wedding Connection was the best decision I have ever made. After we got engaged, I was crippled with anxiety of all the things I had to choose and organize. The second Gabrielle entered the picture I felt a sense of ease and actually started to enjoy the engagement period. She handled everything down to the smallest detail and executed them perfectly. Even though I am extremely organized, there is no way I would have been able to pull everything off seamlessly and enjoy my big day. She also came up with really great ideas, like having a sketch artist! Gabrielle was very communicative, available day or night, seven days a week. She was so professional and attentive to the smallest detail. I think it is rare for people to say they enjoyed the whole planning process, but Gabrielle made everything so easy and enjoyable, I was sad when it was over. Gabrielle exceeded my expectations and brought my wedding vision to life. I seriously cannot recommend her and her team enough!

    Dream Team!

    We cannot express enough how grateful we are for Gabrielle and The Wedding Connection!! Throughout the wedding process our #1 goal was to have an enjoyable, stress-free day and night, and Gabrielle and her team made sure that was possible.

    From day one the TWC team was on top of vendor coordination and timeline, to ensure everyone (me, my husband and my picky parents) were happy with the schedule and flow of the day. Gab provided unparalleled guidance as we navigated planning the first wedding of the family.

    TWC was available via phone or text at all times leading up to the wedding, answering questions and giving us important reminders as the day approached. For the day of, Gab brought on additional coordinators to make sure things ran smoothly. The team went above and beyond handling our last minute requests, soothing nerves, and doing those pesky tasks like bustling the dress and fixing my post-veil hair! If there were any issues during the night, I was not aware, because the TWC team handled everything discreetly and efficiently. They allowed not only me and my husband but also my family to be fully present and enjoy the special day!

    I cannot recommend Gab and her team enough; I only wish we could do it all again!

    Gabrielle and her team are my personal heroes.

    Gabrielle and her team are my personal heroes. My wedding was at serious risk when we had a nightmare scenario with a different planner. We had just under 2 months left to the wedding and we had very little signed up and booked by that point. We came across Gab by chance through a florist we found independently and what a blessing that was. Our first conversation was such a relief – she clearly knew her stuff and more than anything, she had the best attitude towards what we all anticipated would be a grueling 2 months. A couple days later I remember we had a long text conversation just getting to know each other and I knew I was in good hands. Gab is the kind of person who learns and understands her clients. She gets to know what your likes and dislikes are and takes a lot of pride in her work. It’s that kind of approach and attitude that shined and helped us through the remainder of the wedding planning process. And we had fun doing it – we had group messages where we’d share ideas and also just chat all day. Gab worked around the clock, reaching out to countless vendors for us and connecting us with her very best people, helping us design every last detail, and reassuring us that we were in good hands and everything would be okay. I also can’t over emphasize just how much work it was – she basically planned an entire wedding within two months and we’re continuing to get amazing reviews from our friends and family saying it was the best wedding they’ve ever attended. On the day of as well, she and her team (thank you Paige and Ashley!) were all over everything. Our venue had tight guidelines and as part of that there was extremely little time for set up and break down – but they got it done and did it beautifully. The Wedding Connection team was balancing helping the wedding party with steaming, photos, making sure we were hydrated and happy, while sprinting through set up downstairs. To this day I still don’t know how they did it. They’re a fantastic group of extremely talented and driven women and they’re also the kind of people you will not want to let go of once your wedding is over!

    Great wedding planner

    I own a wedding entertainment company in NYC and recently worked with Gabrielle. She was awesome and had a team with her. Great attention to detail. Throughout the night we were in constant contact. The night went from one [art to the next with everything happening as it was planned. I recommend you hire her.

    Blessed to have found you

    Gabrielle
    
You were a superstar at keeping us calm and organized (even with the madness) , making sure every detail was perfect. You were like a miracle worker - so prepared – the stars were not perfectly aligned but you and your team made sure it went perfectly!!! Our guests were so impressed with you and loved interacting with you. Both as a planner and also as a friend, you really went aboveeeee and beyond. 
    We are grateful we were guided towards you when we were in a tough spot. It’s amazing to look back this last month and half and see what we all have accomplished together.
    Wishing you all the success in your future ventures.

    Best Wedding Day Decision!

    If you are going to use a wedding planner or a wedding coordinator for the day of, I couldn't recommend The Wedding Connection enough. Gabrielle is not only incredibly responsive, she is on top of everything to make sure she assigns the right person for you on your day. I needed a wedding coordinator just to help me during my big day and Paige from the TWC team was INCREDIBLE. My guests the next day were raving about how on top of every single detail she was, going above and beyond was she was contracted to do the day of. She coordinated everything throughout the day, from managing everyone at the church, delegating everyone's to do's from our musical director to our flowerboy, setting up the venue with flower arrangements, candles and all decor + helping during photo session with our photographer. Paige managed not only my expectations but went above and beyond during my day. My husband was opposed to getting a planner at all, and the day of he was really happy we both had Paige to lean on. They are truly the best team out there and I feel very lucky to have found them. Five stars doesn't measure how emotionally supportive this team is. Best decision we made.

    A Wedding Day Game-Changer

    We are so incredibly grateful to have hired Gabrielle. From the very beginning, she and her team were a beacon of organization, calm, and professionalism. Our wedding day was a whirlwind of emotions and excitement, and we truly wouldn't have survived it without their incredible support.

    If you have any doubts about hiring a coordinator, make the investment. It is impossible to predict the things you will forget or the things that won’t go as planned. Having the support of someone like Gab and her staff on hand in those moments was truly invaluable.

    We also worked closely with Jessica leading up to the big day - together, they internalized our vision down to the smallest details, advocated on our behalf and made sure everything looked and went according to plan.

    We are so thankful for their dedication and hard work. Our wedding was everything we dreamed of, and it’s all thanks to the work of The Wedding Connection. We wholeheartedly recommend them to any couple looking for a wedding coordinator who goes above and beyond.

    Thank you, Gab, Jess and the whole team, for making our day unforgettable!

    The BEST wedding coordinators - life savers!!!

    If you are going to have one takeaway from my review, PLEASE listen to me when I say The Wedding Connection was the BEST thing to happen to me for my wedding. I actually won a free day of coordinator through their instagram contest and was immediately welcomed by Gab. I met with Gab a few times over the phone in the beginning to catch her up about my wedding plans and about 3 months prior to my wedding she introduced me to Jess and Jackie, who would be my 2 day of coordinators. After that, I had a groupchat with the 3 of them that we would text almost daily, we also would facetime to go over all the details and they created a detailed timeline for my day. They also reached out to all my vendors on my behalf the week of the wedding to make sure everything was confirmed and in place. When there was a delay with my signage the week of the wedding, Gab volunteered to pick it up for me and bring it to my venue because I didn’t have the time to. Jess and Jackie are complete angels and were life savers on the day of my wedding. For reference, I am a type A bride, planned everything out, am extremely organized and didn’t think I would need a day of coordinator, but was lucky enough to win them because let me tell you… YOU NEED ONE. Jess and Jackie showed up for my day while we were getting ready at the hotel and immediately took control of everything. You don’t realize how many silly things will happen the day of that you don’t account for or don’t realize will take time and attention. For example, when all 8 groomsmen, plus 2 dads and the Groom were tasked with folding their pocket squares, Jess and Jackie were there to do it (which also included cutting a napkin to make a makeshift pocket square because one was forgotten). They took control of being the liaison with all my vendors that day, like making sure the photographers got every shot on my photo shot list and knew all the important family members by name and made sure our bridal party was always ready and in the right place at the right time. They were basically my bodyguard throughout my wedding and made sure we were running on time and that everything I had told them in advance that I wanted to do, was getting done and that everything was in the right place. There were seriously so many moments that I said to myself that day, “Thank god I have Jess and Jackie.” I would have been so much more stressed and overwhelmed that day if I didn’t have them and I can’t thank them enough for putting their heart and souls into my wedding day.

    Best DOC out there!

    I cannot express how incredible Gab was as my day-of coordinator for my wedding on 5/25/24. She began assisting me three months before the big day, and her support was invaluable. Gab consistently advocated for me, providing insights and information that I wouldn't have known without her expertise. As someone who is very anxious, having Gab by my side, answering all my texts, and calling me daily with updates was a breath of fresh air that helped calm my nerves immensely.

    On the wedding day, Gab and her team truly outdid themselves. Words cannot fully capture how phenomenal they were. We had a packed timeline with multiple locations, yet Gab & team handled everything like a well-oiled machine. We were on time TO THE MINUTE for every event, from the first look to the ceremony and the reception. I never had to worry about the clock once.

    The day went off without a hitch, and I know it would not have been possible without Gab's meticulous planning and execution. By choosing Gab, you’re not just gaining an incredible day-of coordinator and a perfect wedding; you're also gaining a friend. Gab and her team are an absolute joy to work with and genuinely care about making your day the best night of your life.

    Our guests are still talking to us about how great our wedding was and how everything ran so smooth - and this is all because of TWC!

    Thank you for everything. You made our wedding day unforgettable!

    Hire Gab! It will be the best decision you make for your wedding!

    Hire Gab! I can’t say that enough times. Gab and I connected from the very beginning. As I began the process of looking for a wedding planner, I interviewed 10+ individuals and Gab made the best first impression from the very beginning. I immediately connected with her, and knew that she understood me and my vision. I ended up picking Gab to be my wedding planner and it was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding!

    I got married at Westbury Manor on Long Island. My husband was born and raised on Long Island. I was originally from Vancouver, Canada and moved to Los Angeles. I had no connections to Long Island, and had no idea where to start when it came to planning an out of state wedding and had no clue on what vendors to choose. That is where Gab entered and took over! Gab picked the most amazing vendors for me, from the photographer to the live band to the videographer to the florals. She picked the most incredible vendors that brought my vision to life.

    As I was having an out of state wedding and the reality that all of my wedding guests would be traveling out of state and in some cases even out of the country, Gab took care of it all from handling the wedding block to the Airbnb recommendations! Gab made sure that all of my guests arrived safely and were comfortable for the duration of their stay. She also ensured that I secured a location for my Welcome Dinner/Rehearsal Dinner and that my guests left fed and happy at our Going Away Breakfast the morning after the wedding.

    Our guests could not stop talking about how amazing the wedding and overall wedding weekend was!

    Gab thought of every detail big and small! The small, special details are so important to me as I truly believe that’s what makes a wedding and she made sure to deliver. She brought things up that I didn’t even think of or contemplate. Gab was integral to making my wedding day not only beautiful but making sure it was seamless!

    Not only was Gab my wedding planner, but we also developed a close friendship and still stay in touch to this day. Your wedding day may only last one day but your relationship with Gab will last much longer than that. She genuinely cares for you and will stop at no length to bring your vision to life. If you are looking for a wedding planner not only for your special day but to have a lifelong genuine connection, Gab is the one for you.

    I could not have had the wedding day I had without Gab. Period! Hire Gab, you won’t regret it and it will be the best decision you make for your wedding day!

    Great Day-Of-Coordinator

    I hired Gabrielle and the Wedding Connection team as my day-of-coordinator for my September wedding! Gabrielle was very professional and detail oriented and she went out of her way to make sure our day was perfect. I knew I wanted everything on the day of to run as smoothly as possible and to just be able to enjoy the day and not have to worry if everything is going exactly how I envisioned. Gabrielle and her team did just that for me. It really helped alleviate stress before the wedding. She helped get my timeline for the day perfect and worked with all my vendors to do that. I was happy to have Gabrielle there and know that any potential issues were handled behind the scenes without us even realizing it.

    Best Decision I Made

    I recently had the pleasure of working with The Wedding Connection (Gab and her team), and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment we started planning to the big day itself, they went above and beyond to make everything perfect.

    First and foremost, their attention to detail was impeccable. They thought of every little thing, from coordinating with vendors to making sure the timeline flowed seamlessly. It took the stress off our shoulders, allowing us to truly enjoy the day.

    Communication was key, and our coordinator nailed it. They were always available to answer questions, provide updates, and offer guidance. Their friendly and approachable demeanor made the entire process feel like a collaboration, and they genuinely cared about making our wedding vision come to life.

    On the day of the wedding, their organization and efficiency were impressive. Everything ran like clockwork, and any potential issues were handled behind the scenes without us even realizing it. It allowed us to soak in every moment without worrying about the logistics.

    What sets The Wedding Connection apart is their passion for what they do. It's clear that they love creating memorable experiences for couples, and that enthusiasm translated into a wedding day that exceeded our expectations.

    In short, if you're looking for a wedding coordinator who is not only highly skilled but also genuinely cares about making your day special, look no further. I wholeheartedly recommend The Wedding Connection to anyone planning their big day—you won't be disappointed!

    Some examples that come to mind:
    1.) I asked Gab for a recommendation for a transportation vendor and she took it even further and reached out to get me a contract in a day. This left me with one less headache.

    2.) Covid/Flu was a factor during this time, one of the girls helping Gab was unable to come due to getting sick. In a minute, Gab had someone else ready to help the day of! (AMAZING)

    Outstanding business partner

    The Wedding Connection headed by Gabby is no joke. In a world where we are measured by metrics; how many likes, how many comments, how many friends, how many followers and the list goes on…. Performance is all that really matters!! From the beginning Gabby, Jessica and Nicole had a vision for Maggie and Tyler. They had their playbook and stuck to their plan with succinct leadership and took positive action. The momentum provided by this team toward the bigger picture clearly begins at the top through the leadership of Gabby and the collaborative work ethic among her colleagues. We were “Wowed” from start to finish with the attention to detail, the constant care toward the bride and groom and their respective families. We highly recommend this trio for all of your future party planning needs.

    Book them!

    Gabrielle and her team, Jess and Jacklyn honestly deserve it all. Gab and I go way back to 2018 and when I got engaged I knew that I need her by my side on my wedding day. I could not say enough good things about them. From day one she listened to my vision and helped me bring it to life. Gab coordinated all of the vendors to assure the timeline was set in stone and I didn’t even have to bat an eye. Jess assured that my reception hall was everything that I wanted and more. Jacklyn stood by my side assuring I had everything I needed at all times. Gab puts her clients first and that is something that does not go unnoticed. We could not be more grateful for her and her team. If you want to do something right for your wedding - book the wedding connection. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

    Magical & Professional


    Blessed doesn't even begin to describe my experience with Gab and The Wedding Connection. If you're searching for a full-service wedding planner, day-of coordinator, and a new bestie, Gab is your person! From day one of planning, she's been by my side, navigating budget negotiations, finding the best vendors, ensuring I had a comprehensive checklist of everything that needed to be done with due dates to keep us on track. This helped us be in the best position a few weeks before the wedding, as time goes by so fast, through the whole process she embraced and focused on every detail of my dream wedding.

    As a Type A personality, which I discovered I was for sure during this process and struggled to navigate at times, Gab made sure I knew I could trust her and lean on her when needed. I was never afraid to ask questions, never hesitant to speak up when I didn’t like something; she always made sure I knew that I could express how I felt to ensure the planning process went perfectly. She was the voice on the other end of the line at all hours, offering unwavering support through every stress, panic attack, and confusion during any point of the planning process. She came to as many appts as she could, she even spent her birthday coming to my final floral and decor appt. No one prepares you for how many details and to-dos there are when planning a wedding. At one point, I said I was going to plan it all myself, and I am so glad I didn’t try to do that because I would’ve missed so many important things. I am just so glad I found Gab! She is SUPERWOMAN.

    On the big day, Gab, along with Jess and Jacqueline, somehow came through and put together the most magical night. Dealing with 230 guests seamlessly, handing out the tips I pre-packaged for vendors, setting up flawlessly, and making sure every detail I wanted was perfect, they handled unexpected band issues with patience. From fixing my hair before the reception to ensuring I stayed hydrated, Gab's attention to detail and making sure everyone was calm and staying excited went above and beyond.

    But beyond the logistics, what truly sets Gab apart is her patience, kindness, and understanding from day one. Gab isn't just a wedding planner; she's a friend for life. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone and everyone. I could write a book about how thankful I am for Gab & her team but I will end this by saying, if you’re thinking about hiring
    The wedding connection for your wedding, DO IT! You will have ZERO regrets ♥️

    Gabrielle and Jess truly does it all

    Gabrielle and Jess were phenomenal at my wedding. Their deep expertise in this field truly shows as they anticipated what the bride, family, bridal/groom party and guests need. They have fixed my veil 10000x, moved the ceremony arch back and forth for me, printed my welcome speech, coordinated with all of the vendors, guided the photographers on details to look out for and many more. My day was seamless because of them and I really got to enjoy my own wedding day. One of the feedback I’ve received from brides is that they’re not present at their own wedding because there are so much to coordinate and people turn to you for answers. Gabrielle and Jess did all of the worrying for me so that I don’t have to. Guests were coming up to me asking for Gab’s contact information because they recognize the amazing work that she does. Needless to say, having them on your special day is absolutely crucial. I will forever appreciate their hard work ❤️ PS Jess also makes Instagram reels for you

    Gabrielle is amazing!

    Hiring Gabrielle and The Wedding Connection team was the single best thing we did throughout our wedding planning process. Gabrielle was professional and detail oriented and she went out of her way to make sure our day was perfect. She had our back throughout the entire process and protected us from any potential issues that arose with vendors that we had booked before hiring her. She was always available to us and we looked forward to every call with her. We appreciated her calm demeanor leading up to the big day and were impressed by her ability to effectively communicate any last second changes/requests to our venue and vendors. On the day of our wedding she and her team quickly adapted when the weather necessitated some changes in our schedule and she competently handled a complex load in with our band across two separate event spaces. She was so much fun to work with and we cannot recommend her more.

    Wedding planning

    Gabrielle deserves recognition for truly going above and beyond. Gabrielle is an absolute dream and professional. Gabrielle was integral in our planning process. Even though we used Gabrielle to help plan our wedding, she continued checking in with my husband and me before the wedding, congratulating us, and asking for pictures. That really stood out that she cares for her clients.

    Like planning your wedding with a best friend!

    I am unbelievably thankful and grateful for Gab and her team for planning an incredible wedding! She goes above and beyond! Things that stood out when working with Gab:

    1) PERSONABLE - she really got to know me, my fiancé and my mom to understand our vision and what we wanted for our big day. She just got it! She made it feel like I was planning my wedding with a friend! She was very easy to communicate with, was always available, and was dedicated to us in a way that I don’t think you can find with other planners.

    2) DILIGENT & HARD WORKING - She combed through every detail for the day and was on top of any hiccups that came up, allowing me to stay calm. For example, there was an issue with our band signing a contract with our venue, and she immediately contacted colleagues for insight, got a backup band just in case things fell through, AND quickly resolved the issue in a day, meaning we were able to keep our favorite band! It was reassuring that if anything didn’t go as planned, she would take care of it and have a backup plan just in case. She also advocated to lower prices we were quoted. For example, she helped us find the stage we wanted at a discount by going directly to the vendor (vs getting it through the band).

    3) GREAT TASTE - My style was simple, classy, and not ‘over-the-top’ and Gabby completely understood. She made sure all vendors understood our vision and handled majority of the design.

    4) GREAT LISTENER - She listened to our opinions and what we wanted and, when asked, also helped us make decisions by giving her perspective and insight from working in the industry. Instead of being a cookie cutter wedding, she made it feel personalized and incorporated our requests!

    5) COMPREHENSIVE - Gab went above and beyond with every single detail. She helped us come up with unique experiences for our guests and took care of stressful tasks!
    - My fiancé is British and she located a British phone booth for After The Tone and the Brits thought it was real!
    - She also helped us find an illustrator who drew portraits of our guests as a souvenir, which was truly a unique experience!
    - She helped us find a local babysitter for a guest with a newborn (incredible!)
    - She gave me great suggestions for hotels for our mini moon in the Hamptons/Shelter Island
    - She helped find a tailor when my first tailor didn’t do a good job. Couldn’t be happier with the outcome and Gab even picked up my dress for me when it was done!
    - Gab came to our welcome party to pick up items for the wedding (saving me a drive to our venue) and went through the rehearsal with our bridal party.

    Thanks to Gab and her team, we had a seamless and incredible wedding day! On the day, I didn’t have to think about any of the details, she took care of everything.

    You will not regret working with Gab and her team! Thanks Gab for everything ❤️

    Wedding Connection is the best

    As MOB I want to leave a high recommendation for Gabby and her team who went above and beyond making our wedding experience an absolute class A act. Gabby is personable, professional and knows this business inside and out to recommend the best crew. Our daughter's wedding went seamlessly and was so harmonious and elegant. If anyone needs a wedding planner who knows NYC well, I cannot recommend her enough. She came up with an illustrator at the wedding to add something unique for our guests and they all loved it. She listened well to the vibe we wanted and took care of details when necessary as well as provided helpful suggestions and connections to make the wedding unforgettable. Anyone who hires Gabby will enjoy working with her and can trust she will execute well to have the wedding you desire with all attention to details tended to. It is so evident she pours her heart and soul into every event to make each wedding the very best. We will all miss working with Gabby.

    Truly Amazing

    The Wedding Connection and Gabrielle Marisola were a true gift. She was absolutely exceptional from start to finish. She is an incredibly gifted wedding planner. We were planning our daughter’s destination wedding and Gabrielle worked with us for many months. We could never have put together such a spectacular weekend without her. Not only did she plan and coordinate the wedding day, she also planned the welcome dinner and reception the night before for all the out of town guests. She planned and coordinated a spectacular and incredibly memorable event. Her attention to detail and professional presentation are nothing less than miraculous.
    The itinerary she created and provided to all our vendors kept everything running smoothly. There was nothing that we had to do or worry about the entire weekend because Gabrielle had everything handled professionally.
    She is organized, thoughtful, creative and considerate. She was a great listener, and was able to work creatively with challenging situations.
    She works with a very talented group of vendors including everything from the florist, photographer, videographer, live band, hair, and makeup. Every vendor she chose was completely out of this world and made our day. Can we just say that the live band was amazing! She is incredibly organized and was so thoughtful to coordinate breakfast and lunch on the “day of” when we were getting ready.
    It is very clear when you work with Gabrielle that she has a passion and a very sincere kindness that radiates in everything she does.
    We had a number of guests that traveled from out of state as well as out of the country and she went above and beyond to provide them with an amazing “guest” experience.
    Overall Gabrielle was truly a gift. She created the whole wedding experience for everyone. Not only is she a true professional, she is kind and caring.
    We cannot recommend Gabrielle enough. By choosing Gabrielle your day will be as unique as you want it to be!

    Amazing experience

    Gabrielle and her team were so amazing & thoughtful. They went ABOVE AND BEYOND to make our wedding special. From finding a new hair stylist 1 week before our wedding, answering our millions of questions, coming up with the most amazing ideas (donuts instead of cake) and everything in-between, we honestly could not have gotten married without the Wedding Connection Team. I want to get married all over again just so Gab and I can have our daily phone calls.
    Aside from marrying my husband, The Wedding Connection was the best decision I've made in my life.

    Gabrielle + The Wedding Connection for everything wedding!

    In short, since I could go on forever, during my initial conversation with Gabrielle, my husband and I were sold! Gabrielle is so full of life, and her enthusiasm for what she does makes it impossible not to want to hire her. Attention to detail is an understatement. Gabrielle didn’t treat us like a client, but more like family. She got to know my husband and I, and not just what we wanted and checked off boxes. She personally made sure every minute of our wedding this Saturday 3/18/2023 ran perfect. There were a few hiccups on the vendor’s blame that we didn’t find out about until after our wedding day because Gabrielle ironed them out before we became privy. My whole wedding party absolutely loved her as well, to the extent she was hired by one of them after my wedding for their own wedding next year! Extremely professional, but so much fun! I am a very anxious person, and the weight was completely taken off my shoulders so I could truly enjoy my day with my husband and loved ones. I truly can’t thank her enough.

    A true gem!

    You’re in the right hands! Gabrielle of the Wedding Connection is a gem! Talented, listens to her clients, detail oriented, kind, thorough, organized and on top of it all.

    Truly would be lost without Gab!

    Where do I even begin! I contacted Gab a month after getting engaged because I knew I needed support with wedding planning since I work two different jobs. My wedding is in October of 2023 & the planning has been stressful but Gab has helped that so much. I am an anxious person & struggle with decision making so I knew planning a wedding would be tough for me. Without Gab, I wouldn’t have made it this far. Her communication has been incredible. She truly cares for her clients. She took the time to know me and my fiancé as people and not just clients. She has already proven trust & dedication and that means so much to me. This is just a midpoint review because I need everyone to know they should work with her if they need support. Gab continues to make me excited, hopeful & makes sure I stay in line and realistic at the same time! She is patient and just the best!!!

    So happy I picked Gabrielle!

    I’m so happy I picked Gabrielle as my day-of coordinator! I was on the fence about hiring one but I am relieved I did. There was no task she couldn’t handle. She was the first vendor we spoke with and we immediately clicked, and after interviewing other vendors, returned to Gabrielle and hired her. We’ve remained friends since. She’s very passionate about making her clients happy and you won’t regret hiring her. I’m excited to see her at my friend’s wedding next year after recommending my friend hire her!

    Wedding perfection

    I hired Gabby as a wedding planner and a DOC she was absolutely everything I needed before I even knew I needed it. She exceeded all my expectations and more. For planning the wedding I had just started a new job and had very little free time especially during business hours. She did all of my research, countless phone calls and was always available to talk to me and give me her honest opinion. For DOC I had a backyard wedding that she helped build from the ground up and she was on top of everything, making sure all vendors were present, sticking to the timeline and always making sure I had everything I needed. There was not a time during the day where I needed something and she wasn’t there in almost an instant to help me with whatever it is I needed. She handled everything and made sure none of it fell on me so that I could have the most perfect day. We owe our perfect day to Gabby!

    She really went above and beyond for us

    We used Gabrielle for full planning and we cannot recommend her enough! The attention she paid to everything I wanted and every concern I had was truly amazing. Gabrielle found all of our vendors for us along with my wedding venue which I had honestly given up hope on finding one I’d really love but she really came through. I knew I could go to her with any question or concern I had and it would be addressed before I could overthink it enough to make myself crazy. As if planning out full wedding wasn’t enough, Gabrielle always made herself available to listen to me vent. She was there with me when I said yes to my dress and made sure I stayed true to what I really wanted. She is the best I really could go on and on.
