Throughout every stage of our wedding planning process, Kate was there for us - we were planning from out of town, and her local knowledge of the city and vendors was invaluable. She was available anytime we needed her (which felt like a lot), ...
and she was always happy to talk to us. She handled everything from vendor communication, to day of coordination, to helping us with the smallest of details that came up throughout the days leading up. Her calm demeanor and ability to stay on top of all of our personal details and deadlines was not only impressive but exactly what we needed. Kate was truly our best friend throughout the whole experience, we put our full trust in her and she made us feel great about our wedding every step of the way. We simply can’t recommend her enough!

Thank you, Claire! We did have lots of fun. I'll see ya on your next visit to New Orleans. : )
Kate from Gabrielle James Events was spectacular! We are from Wisconsin planning a destination wedding in the French Quarter. After our ceremony plans fell though, we were beyond lost. That was when Kate was recommended to us. Her knowledge of...
the area provided us with options we never would have known about, and her connections to other vendors helped us tremendously. We couldn’t have done it without her and cannot properly express our gratitude. Thank you, Kate, for being awesome!!!!
Kate was my wedding planner and it was the best decision I ever made! She is extremely organized, professional, easy to work with, & thinks about the small details you may overlook. One thing that stands out in particular was the detailed and e...
asy to follow schedule she put together that was shared with everyone from vendors, to the bridal party so everyone knew what was going on. I had many bridesmaids mention how awesome it was to know exactly what the plan was leading up to the event! I can't recommend her enough for an event!
Response from the Vendor on 02/11/2022
Thank you Allison! It was great spending the weekend at your family home. Hope to see you and doggie Gus soon.
I cannot recommend Kate enough. We hired her for a month of service because we enjoyed planning/organizing things at the outset. At the time we hired her, we were a little overwhelmed but I am not sure we realized how important having someone a...
s professional as Kate would become in those final weeks leading up to the big day. Kate was crisis control--she handled all sorts of last minute failures from a bailing caterer to a flaky band to a resurgence of COVID with Omicron. Most issues that came up she didn't even fill us in on (so that we wouldn't stress)...or she rotated contacting myself or my partner to divide up the stressful last minute decision-making. I was most impressed by how Kate thought of details that I had totally overlooked (she even brought me a pair of flats to change into at the party). Also, she is very knowledgeable about New Orleans vendors and works well with everyone! Seriously, you will not regret using Gabrielle James Events! Thank you, Kate!
Kate was flat out incredible for helping us plan and coordinate everything for our wedding. She was on top of vendor communication for load in/load out, schedule creation for our party, making sure the video we wanted to show was set up and rea...
dy to play, and managing all of the vendor deliveries on the day of. She then went above and beyond in every single aspect for us with what seemed to be nonstop chaos with managing issues that came up last minute for our band (several issues throughout the month and week leading up to our wedding), the security company we hired that initially just didn’t show up to chase down a replacement as the event was starting, an ever-changing guest list because of Covid concerns, finding last minute catering because the original catering that fell through for our welcome party the night before our event, and even helped us to save some leftover cake so it wasn’t thrown away so we were able to have as little stress as possible leading up to our event and then able to enjoy everything with the trust and security that everything was properly managed.
Beyond all of that, Kate is just an awesome person and great to be around. We couldn’t recommend her highly enough as a planner/coordinator. 6/5 stars and would happily hire her again for another event.
Would give more starts if I could!! Kate was so wonderful to work with and our wedding would not have been as amazing as it was without her. She went above and beyond to make sure every detail was exactly what we wanted. She was so helpful and ...
supportive when we had to move wedding locations from New Orleans to the Northshore (due to covid) and made sure everything was communicated to all of the other vendors. Her experience in the hotel industry is a huge advantage and she is super knowledgeable about everything. So trustworthy and helpful throughout the entire process! Very thankful we had her!!
Kate from Gabrielle James Events was our hero on wedding day! We had Kate as our month of coordinator, and I only wish we had her plan the whole wedding. For us, Kate managed vendor communications and ensured that everything was organized and...
went smoothly. She also helped us make some design decisions as well, and she has a great eye. Leading up to the wedding, she was on top of everything and made us feel like we were in great hands and could relax a bit. My mom, who is extremely picky, immediately took to Kate and trusted her to make any decision. Kate’s familiarity with local vendors was extremely helpful, and it was immediately clear that we probably should have had her help from the beginning of the planning process. We got married at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, and Kate saved us. She used her contacts in New Orleans to closely monitor the situation and keep us informed, and she found us an amazing photographer when ours cancelled the night before. Honestly, I can’t express how crucial Kate was to our wedding. On top of being amazing at her job, Kate’s calming demeanor and honest opinions were invaluable. Book Gabrielle James Events, and have Kate do the entire wedding! If you do only do the month of, she’ll do great work for you, but you’ll wish you had her sooner.
Kate was so wonderful to work with. Her calming presence allowed me to enjoy my day totally relaxed. She is very organized, proactive and on top of everything. From sending out itineraries to fielding calls from everyone to dealing with little ...
crises that pop up, she is a true professional. She helped me create the wedding of my dreams and we were able to enjoy every moment of our day. We are forever grateful.
Kate is the best. She is incredibly organized, creative, and made the entire wedding planning process joyful. If you are looking for a wedding planner, I HIGHLY recommend Kate.
Can't say enough about Kate! She is awesome. Very thorough,organized and super sweet to boot! She handled everything! Can't say enough good things about her!
Thank you Kate
Kate went above and beyond for my wedding. She was helpful to me every step of the way and did things I would've never known to do. She carefully reviewed all of my contracts and made sure things were exactly as they should be. She was so much ...
fun to work with. She made sure I didn't have to worry about anything the week of my wedding. She came to my house at 7 am to make flower arrangements with flowers she got at Trader Joe's for my bridesmaid luncheon I hosted at my house. They were BEAUTIFUL! She's smart, creative, and hard-working. Highly recommend using her- don't make wedding planing any more stressful on yourself!
