Copper River + Co.

Gabby was the biggest help of our day. She is truly a knight in shining armor when it comes to the wedding world. Not only is she cool calm and collected but she is always looking out for the best interest of her couple. She excels at organization, prioritization, and time management. She’s creative and really melds her vision to that of the couple. She becomes not only your biggest cheerleader day of but she becomes a friend. It’s almost more de esta ting that the day is over because it means less time with the incredible Gabby! If you are looking for a pro with heart, you could not be in better hands.

Gabby is amazing. I worked with her for about 1.5 years planning my destination wedding and the entire experience was wonderful. Gabby made me feel so comfortable with the process and confident that the day would flow well. She made the vendor selection process so easy for me. Her suggestions were all great and she took care of all of the vendor communications and contact leading into the event. She was attentive to our budget and very helpful in finding ways to make what we wanted work within that number. The planning process was so fun with her! Leading into the day, I was able to have fun with my friends and family and I was honestly not worried about anything regarding the logistics or flow of our wedding day. And everything went perfectly. Gabby was professional, kind, attentive, and so on top of everything. I enjoyed every second of our wedding day and I’m so grateful for her. You shouldn’t have any hesitation in hiring Gabby. I couldn’t imagine a better wedding planner or better, more enjoyable person to go through this process with. SHE IS AMAZING. I am forever grateful to her for making our day everything that we dreamed of.

Gabby is such an incredible planner to work with! She is so professional yet still personal, and really efficient on the wedding day. She ensures that every vendor is prepped before the wedding and is always around helping to support everyone on the wedding day so they can do their jobs well!

If you’re looking for someone to help bring your wedding together, offer great ideas, take the stress out of planning, and make it feel fun along the way - book Gabby!! Ever since my first phone call with Gabby, it felt like we found the missing piece to make our dream wedding become a reality! We had most of our big vendors booked but felt overwhelmed with so many moving pieces and little details left. We opted for the Event Management package which covered vendor communications starting a couple months out, timeline and floor plan design, day-of coordination and so much more! Gabby was available for all our questions, to bounce ideas around, and most importantly kept me on track which gave me peace of mind throughout the process! It seriously felt like a huge weight off my shoulders once we booked her. Gabby set us up on Aisle Planner which was such a helpful and easy to use tool to keep track of our checklist, vendors, payment schedule, and included helpful tips and guides about wedding stationary, gratuity for vendors, music, photo shot lists, etc. She always came to me with amazing ideas and talked things through with me without ever making me feel overwhelmed. There were so many planning aspects that I didn’t consider (or had never even heard of) and Gabby was there every step of the way offering her advice and guidance. We had a Friday the 13th wedding in October and had a spooky theme throughout. That’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but Gabby was so supportive and jumped right onboard with the theme and made everything feel so personalized. Before our wedding even took place, one of my friends booked Gabby for her wedding next year after hearing me rave about her. During our rehearsal and throughout the wedding day our family and friends were so impressed with Gabby’s organization and ability to thrive in this (sometimes hectic) environment. I was so thankful to be able to relax and enjoy my wedding day (and have our whole wedding party enjoy the day) because Gabby had everything handled. I’m honestly bummed that wedding planning is over because I miss working with Gabby already!!

Hiring Gabby & Copper River was easily the best decision we made during our wedding process. Having her expertise and guidance made our wedding day, and entire wedding process much more enjoyable and successful. Whenever we felt worried or stressed about anything, we would schedule a call with Gabby and instantly felt better about the situation. She was always available whenever we needed anything, and whether it was a two-hour long meeting, or a quick phone call, she always had productive solutions, recommendations, and a positive attitude. Our wedding day itself could not have gone any smoother and was everything we could have hoped for, and we have Gabby to thank for all of it! She handled everything that needed to be done which allowed us, and our families, to enjoy our big day from start to finish without any worries. Gabby was so attentive throughout the night, members of our wedding party have booked Copper River for their upcoming weddings. That’s one of the truest testaments to Gabby’s work, and we can’t be more excited to be able to see her again in the future! There is not a single thing we would change about our wedding and gaining Gabby as a friend throughout the process made it even more special.

I would recommend Copper River + Co. to all of my family and friends a million times over. And that is no joke. Gabby truly went beyond means to give my husband and I our wedding vision, our sanity, and our best interest at heart. She was extremely responsive to any concerns, questions or opinions (and I needed a LOT of opinions) I asked of her throughout our 16 month journey with Copper River + Co. No one tells you how difficult and specific the details of planning a wedding are. Luckily for us, we didn't have to worry about any of those details because of Gabby. Her natural instinct of wedding planning was such a pleasure to watch and learn from. She is honest, pays such close attention to detail, and doesn't let you feel like you are doing this alone. If you are reading this and considering hiring her, my husband and I can absolutely promise you will have the wedding of your dreams working with her. We walked into our engagement with a wedding coordinator and have left with a true friend. Thank you Gabby and Copper River + Co. for giving us the gift of our best day. We could have NEVER done it without you!

We met Gabby through a close friend when working on our wedding catering. She was an absolute dream to work with, extremely professional, responsive, organized, and kind. She kept our catering budget in mind while also getting us even more than we asked. Could not recommend more. Amazing.

Copper River + Co. made planning our wedding so easy, I never felt stressed. We did the Summit package and it was totally worth it. I never had to worry about logistics for the day of the wedding, or anything leading up to our big day for that matter. We got to enjoy the planning process because Gabby made finding and connecting with the vendors we wanted simple and fun. On the day of, it was comforting to also know my bride got to enjoy the day as much as I did because we both knew we were in good hands. That was one of the most important parts of the day to me - that my bride wasn't stressed all day and could live in the moment with me. It was so reassuring to see how confident and structured Gabby was throughout the whole experience. She really makes you feel valued and seen as a unique couple, while staying on top of all details, big and small. I'd recommend Copper River + Co. to anyone who wants to wedding planning and your wedding day to be fun, easy, beautiful, and tailored to your story. 10 out of a possible 10 Goldblums.

Copper River + Co. was my planner for our destination wedding in St. Augustine, Florida. When we got engaged, all we knew was wanted to get married in January in St. Augustine during the Nights of Lights. And being newly engaged with 10 months to put our special day together, I had no idea where to start – and honestly how much goes into planning a wedding. But as the realization of how much I had to do hit me, I fortunately connected with Gabby of Copper River + Co. And we have her to thank for creating the wedding beyond our dreams. Gabby instantly made us feel at ease from the start of our planning. She’s an endless source of wedding knowledge, a wealth of design insights and an organizational master. We decided to go with the full planning Summit package, and we are so thankful that we had her full services and guidance on hand through the entire planning process and on the big day. Through designing our wedding vision with Gabby, we felt that every detail for our wedding was intricately crafted around who we are. When choosing a location, it was Gabby who helped us find the perfect place, one that reflected us as a couple in the city we loved. Both the ceremony site and reception spots were wonderfully unique to us, making our day feel like no one else’s. No detail, big or small, falls through the cracks with Gabby. Things I knew we needed to take care of – transportation, catering, DJ, flowers, etc. – she was on top of finding. And the things I had no idea we needed to think about, she guided us through. She provided comprehensive lists of vendors for us to look at and once we chose our preferred vendors, she managed dealings with them. She arranged phone calls and meets with vendors, managed contracts, dealt with any questions we had for vendors and handled all of the day of coordination with vendors. And after the wedding, every single vendor had the same compliment about Copper River + Co.; they had never worked with a wedding planner who made their job so organized, easy, and fun. For the day of coordination, we didn’t have to worry about a thing. I woke up in the morning and knew it was going to be the perfect day. I knew where to be, I knew who I’d be with and when throughout the day, and I knew the order of events to expect. Gabby’s master timeline that she builds for your day is a bride’s dream. And anything that could possibly come up on the wedding, Gabby has handled. Because I didn’t have to worry about any of the logistics for the day, solve any problems and do any last-minute planning, I was able to simply enjoy every moment of our day. From the first vendor inquiry to your reception exit, when you choose the Summit package, you get full planning and dedication into every moment for your special day. When we got engaged, it felt like so many brides warned us how stressful and difficult the planning process is - it sounded like this time was one to dread. And our experience on the way to the alter was nothing short of amazing. Because of Gabby, we get to say our planning was actually fun and was filled with memories we will treasure. She made every stage and part of planning feel easy. She made it about us and our unique experience. And ultimately, she made it about our wedding dreams coming to life. We can say, without a doubt, our wedding day was the best day of our lives, and we have Copper River + Co. to thank for designing the most beautiful wedding day we could have imagined.

Where do I even start? Gabby of Copper River + Co. was by far simply amazing. My fiancé and I got engaged a little over a year ago and we thought we wouldn’t need a wedding planner or coordinator, until we met Gabby. When we met her we knew she would be the one to help us and plan one of our most special days. She made us feel relaxed from the start of planning up until our wedding day. She was so reliable, professional, and organized. No detail to big or too small went unnoticed or forgotten, she was on top of everything the whole time from start to finish. Gabby loves what she does, she has so much wedding knowledge and especially an eye for design. She brought to our attention so many things we would’ve never even thought of without her insight to the wedding world. We have her to thank for making our wedding day a day that we will never ever forget! We got so many compliments from our families and friends how great and smoothly the day went, thanks to Gabby of course. We are so grateful for her and wouldn’t have been able to do it without her. If you or anyone you know is looking for a wedding planner/ coordinator, Gabby of Copper River + Co. is a must!!!
