I cannot recommend Gifted Events enough! From the moment we started planning our wedding, Kelly made the entire process feel effortless. She guided us every step of the way, answer...
ed every question, and took so much stress off our shoulders. Her knowledge, organization, and attention to detail are truly unmatched.Kelly recommended the most incredible vendors, and every single one exceeded our expectations. Because of her expertise and guidance, our wedding turned out even more beautiful and perfect than we could have ever imagined.
One moment that really showed how exceptional Kelly is was when we unexpectedly ran into an issue with one of the venue's vendors, who could no longer provide a service we had originally agreed upon. Kelly immediately stepped in, found an amazing solution, and made sure everything came together perfectly. She truly goes above and beyond for her couples.
I also have to give a huge thank you to her amazing team, AnnMarie and Daniella. They were absolutely incredible on the wedding day. They made sure everything ran seamlessly, handled every detail behind the scenes, and allowed us to truly enjoy every moment without worrying about a thing.
Our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more, and we genuinely couldn't have done it without Kelly and the Gifted Events team. They are professional, thoughtful, incredibly hardworking, and genuinely care about making your day perfect. Thank you for giving us the wedding of our dreams, we will be forever grateful! ❤️
Kelly is the best of the best!!! Kelly came early on in my wedding planning journey and it was one of the best decisions I could've possibly made. She gave me guidance on vendors t...
o book that aligned with my price point but also that matched me and my fiancé's vibes (which is way more important than you would realize in the wedding planning process) She is so knowledgeable, professional, organized, such a good eye for design, so so detailed oriented, sweet and every other vendor I booked also had such lovely things to say about her and how easy she is to work with. I don't know how I would have survived wedding planning without her - she kept me on track with what I should be doing each month as well as keep track of budget and all invoices, and also gave me creative ideas for cute little touches and details for my wedding that I wouldn't of thought of myself. We created an entire mood board for the wedding and really helped me figure out the vision and was such a huge help in finalizing what our florals were going to look like. She was also a great sounding board for professional advice at times when I was being indecisive. She attended meetings with me and my mom towards the end of planning and asked all the important questions and tidbits that wouldn't have even run through my mind. On wedding day, Kelly & Annemarie were phenomenal and such a great support system for not just me but my entire bridal party. From the minute they arrived they were getting stuff done!!! Annemarie steamed my veil and kept track of my laundry list of family photos (which is no easy task keeping my family members attention)!! I knew they were there and it was just a huge sigh of relief - Kelly kept everyone organized and on-time according to the day of schedule she created and ensured that all my decor and everything I envisioned was exactly how I wanted it. I know venues tell you that you don't need a planner because you have your attendants and their team to assist but it is just not comparable. My venue staff was amazing as well but without Kelly and her team it would definitely have been a bit more chaotic on wedding day! I truly don't know how couples don't hire a wedding planner, it is truly worth the invest and worth every single penny!! If you can, I can not recommend Kelly enough!!! Our wedding day was a dream come true and everything I ever wanted and so so much of that is thanks to Kelly for executing it so beautifully. SHE IS AMAZING!!! If she's available for your wedding date, run-don't walk to book her!!! WE LOVE YOU KELLY and thank you thank you thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You're so exceptional at what you do!!!
Kelly and the rest of her team at gifted events are the best in the industry. Kelly stepped in after things did not work out with our original planner, and truly saved the day and ...
made the wedding planning process fun and stress free.
Prior to the wedding Kelly was extremely responsive and amazing with communication. She provided amazing vendor recommendations and set up check ins to make sure everything was running smoothly. She also took the time to get to know my husband and I and it made the experience much more personable.
On the day of, Ann Marie and Gabby from the team were on site ant the venue. They did an amazing job, making sure the day ran as smooth as possible and really made it a dream come true.
I will definitely keep them in mind for future events and recommend gifted events to our newly engaged friends, truly cannot thank them enough!
Kelly is truly the best of the best!!! I had my wedding at Shadowbrook at Shrewsbury on October 25. She was extremely organized and excellent with communication, and I truly apprec...
iate how much she went above and beyond for my wedding to make sure it ran smoothly. She is so down to earth and her knowledge of the industry is unmatched. She has so many connections and was able to make my dream wedding come true! As an anxious person, I really appreciated how much she took care of me and eased any worries I had about my wedding day. She was there for me for everything and I sincerely cannot thank her enough. She became a friend by the end of this and I sincerely cannot recommend her enough!! She will take such good care of you and make sure you have the wedding of your dreams.
Kelly and the team at gifted events are so skilled and so professional, it made all the difference on my wedding day. I got married September 21, 2024 and the gifted events team ma...
de the day run so seamlessly. Of course things went wrong behind the scenes, but they had quick solutions and really were on top of every little detail throughout the day. This allowed my husband and I, and our families, to enjoy the wedding day because we knew Kelly had everything under control. We also had a large wedding with 273 guests and it was really the most perfect day all thanks to the giftedevents team. I would recommend them to anyone that’s planning any kind of gathering or celebration because they are so knowledgeable and have all the contacts in the industry to help make your celebration 10/10. We even needed two last min vendors and Kelly had people on speed dial to help us on our day.
Kelly from Gifted Events was an huge part of making our dream wedding at The Estate at Florentine Gardens come true, flawlessly. Her attention to detail, professionalism, and AMAZI...
NG organization ensured that every moment was perfect from start to finish. From planning to execution, Kelly exceeded our expectations. Without hesitation, I highly recommend Gifted Events to anyone seeking a truly amazing wedding planner and coordinator. We went with the month of coordinator and I highly suggest that, Kelly became a friend of mine by the end of the month because of how much we spoke! She joined all the final meetings she could, and truly was great to work with! XOXO!!
Kelly was my wedding planner from the very beginning which was the full service wedding planning. Without her I honestly would have been lost. She was professional, but made me fee...
l comfortable talking with her, bouncing ideas back and forth, and helped ease the wedding planning stress. I knew all along how valuable she was to me, but this really showed on the wedding day. Everything flowed seamlessly and there was not one hiccup throughout the day. So many of my family members even said they noticed how she didn’t miss a beat and was on top of everything throughout the day. If you’re looking for design help/vendor suggestions/ organization/ good communication/ and a seamless wedding day look no further and work with Kelly at Gifted Events !
Had my wedding in Feb 2024 at The Park Savoy and it would not have went as smoothly and amazing if it wasn’t for Kelly and Gifted Events. She pays the closest attention to detail a...
nd is with you every step of the way from planning until the day of. Always answered all of my questions and gave the best advice/ insight and is such an amazing, kind, easy going person. The day of the wedding I did not have to worry about a thing. All of my family, friends, bridesmaids and guests were in awe of how amazing and attentive Kelly and her team was. I cannot recommend Kelly and Gifted Events more!
Hiring Kelly & her team was the BEST decision I ever made. She made sure my wedding day ran flawlessly. Everything was on time. She was in contact with the vendors months ahead to ...
make sure they knew the correct times to arrive for the wedding day. She was their direct contact when they came to the venue all questions went through her it just made my day so much more enjoyable! I literally had nothing to worry about. Best money spent!
The ladies at Gifted Events are beyond professional to work with! I hired them for our day of coordination and I am sooo happy that I did! Everything went absolutely perfect. I was...
always told “something will go wrong, but don’t sweat it” on my wedding day and I am here to confidently say NOTHING went wrong. Michelle is so detailed oriented and made sure everything went perfect for our day, she truly was so amazing to work with, as was Ann Marie and Rhiana! Kelly came to every big vendor meeting we had leading up to our big day and she kept everything so organized and truly was on top of anything I wanted to change. There is a big difference between attendants at the venue and your own wedding planner/day of coordinator and I can say Kelly and her team are worth every penny. We can’t thank you ladies enough!
Love,
Alexa and Devin
I can not put into words just how amazing the gifted events team is ! I was blessed to have both Kelly and Michelle with me on my wedding day and to say I couldn’t have made it thr...
ough my day without them is an understatement. They made sure every single detail was perfect and if anything went wrong on my day I most definitely didn’t know. They thought of things well before I did and made sure my busy day went as smooth as possible. They kept me on time without causing any kind of stress, kept all of my vendors in line and made sure my husband and I had the time of our lives. They didn’t miss a beat from the planning process until the very end of the event. There wasnt a detail that wasn’t thought about extensively and there was a plan b and c for everything. I have recommended them to every single future bride I know and will continue to recommend them. We love you guys ! Love danielle and alen nikezic
Kelly and Chia were simply an extension of our bridal party, venue staff, hair and makeup team, florist, photographer, and DJ on our wedding day. They had it all covered from top t...
o bottom and never left our side. We were always comfortable, on time, camera ready and just overall well taken care of. They were extremely organized, regimented, and always professional. With all of the planning and prep we did leading up to our wedding, my wife and I still agree (2 months later) that we don’t know what we would have done without Kelly and Chia on the day-of. Leading up to our Kelly especially made herself available for calls with us and calls with vendors, multiple visits to the venue, and over text. This gave us the peace of mind that she was going to get the job done...and she certainly did. If we could do it all again (which we wish we could) we would hire Kelly, Chia, and Gifted Events without thinking twice.
I highly recommend Gifted Events! Kelly and her team are professional, detail oriented and made my the wedding day go seamless! There are just so many things that need attention a...
nd coordination on a wedding day, so I was so thankful to have Michelle and Chia there with me to help with anything I needed.I was a able to relax and be in the moment and that is PRICELESS. If you are planning a wedding, do not hesitate to reach out to Gifted Events, they are the best in the business!
Absolutely the best choice I made during this process. Kelly was a life saver throughout my bridal journey but she was really put up to the challenge when on our rehearsal day our ...
officiant and best man caught covid and would not longer be a part of our wedding. I contacted Kelly immediately and we found a solution just hours before our big day. On the day of, both Kelly and chia were FANTASTIC. They made sure the day was seamless. There were quite a few things that went and they both handled things without issue. I actually saw Kelly bolt out the door when there was a larger issue in my husbands suite. Chia steamed all our dresses, organized all of our items for transport. She was my advocate the whole day. When I needed a break she immediately let someone know. If I was unhappy with something she immediately made sure it was handled. I can’t thank them enough. Absolutely choose gifted events for your wedding needs.
*MUST HAVE*! Kelly, Jacky, and Ann Marie. These women ran the entire show and carried this wedding on their back. I am super organized and planned everything to a T (or so I thoug...
ht). I thought hiring a day of coordinator was just adding another layer of security to my already airtight timeline and day. I was soooo wrong. If we didn’t have these girls, it would have been a sht show! These women helped me with EVERYTHING. From morning prep making sure everything was ready for photos, to ensuring my gown and bridesmaids dresses were steamed and ready, to sewing a dress mishap and SAVING THE DAY. They made sure everyone at the church was there and tucked us away before and after so we could be on time for photos. Kelly coordinated with the venue to ensure all of my requests we’re done correctly and discreetly handled any and all issues. Like I probably don’t even know 90% of the situations she handled!! From making sure my photo booth was inside the ballroom, putting our welcome sign in the correct spot, the list goes on. Jacky fluffed my dress between EVERY SINGLE pose during the photos. I really really really could not imagine our day without them. Like. Wow. Wow. Wow. 10000/10
Gifted events was hands-down the best decision I made during the entire wedding process. I had my consultation with Kelly and decided on the month of wedding coordination. During t...
hat time, Kelly compiled all of the details and ensured all my vendors had a thorough timeline. On the day of, Michelle and Jacky were my coordinators and I can’t even begin to explain how incredible they are. I’d say I’m a pretty organized person, but on the day of your wedding things are bound to happen and it’s inevitable that you’ll forget something. Anything my bridesmaids or I needed they had ready in a moments notice. I know there were a million behind the scenes things they handled which allowed me to be present the day of my wedding. I’m so grateful for the girls at Gifted Events!
We LOVED working with Gifted Events! We booked Kelly as our full time wedding planner and it was one of the best decisions we made! We live in Los Angeles and were having our weddi...
ng in New Jersey so when the wedding planning started, I had no idea where to begin. A few weeks later, we met via Zoom with Kelly and we clicked immediately. She understood our vision for the wedding, which is so important when hiring a wedding planner, and really put our minds at ease! She scheduled meetings with venues and vendors and asked all the right questions, recommended the best vendors to fit our vision, made sure we were on top of our wedding checklist and created a wedding timeline the day of our wedding. After almost 2 years of working together on this wedding, the wedding day finally came and Kelly went above and beyond which wasn’t surprising since the planning process was so smooth! The wedding day was perfect and we didn’t have a worry in the world because we knew Kelly was on top of it. She truly cares about the couples she works with and we can’t recommend her enough!
Kelly is everything!!! She did my best friends wedding a few years back and I knew she was essential and I needed her. Kelly and her team are ON IT. You don’t even have to ask, th...
ey just know what to do. My vendors were all on time and everything went smoothly because of Kelly and her partnership with The Mill. She’s such a great person to have around you the day of your wedding, her calm and composed energy definitely helps set the tone!!
Everyone always says things will go wrong on your wedding day, but I guess they don’t know about Gifted Events! I am someone who pays great attention to detail- I have very high ex...
pectations and want everything to go as perfectly as planned. My wedding day went EXACTLY as I had hoped and dreamed it would, and I know I owe that in part to Kelly and Michelle. From our first conversation, I knew I wanted to work with Gifted Events for wedding coordination, and I’m so glad I did. We had the pleasure of having both Kelly and Michelle as coordinators for our big day. They were attentive, helpful, and very detail-oriented. They were exactly what I needed as a “type A” bride who planned my own wedding but needed help executing the details on the big day. We had a very in-depth call to go over the timeline and intricacies of the day, and Kelly made things happen by coordinating some things with the reception venue for me! We had a great walkthrough of the venue before the big day where Kelly knew all the little details of our day, which really impressed and reassured me! I felt so calm on the wedding day thanks to Kelly and Michelle. They kept my bridesmaids in order, kept everyone where they were supposed to be, they continued to monitor the time, ensured I got my must-have photos, and helped to alleviate the normal stresses of the day! Anyone getting married would be incredibly lucky to work with Gifted Events for their wedding.
I could not have got through my wedding day without Kelly from Gifted Events. She truly became my friend throughout the wedding planning process. On my wedding day, Kelly (and Chia...
) were so calm and always one step ahead of me. Kelly knew the wedding day schedule and was always making sure everyone was on time. If there was an issue, I was not aware because Kelly took care of it! She was amazing. She kept my calm. I thought a curl in my hair was falling out so she whipped out a mini curling iron. My bustle was coming undone so she whipped out safety pins. Anything I needed, she had. I could not have gotten through the day without Kelly, truly! I would recommend Kelly and her team at Gifted Events over and over!!!
Kelly and Michelle helped our day run so smoothly! They pay attention to the smallest details. Michelle reminded my parents to lock my house before we left, Kelly delivered my husb...
and’s boutonnière when there was a mix up. They took the time to meet with us and know our vision for the day. The peace of mind I had that day was worth every penny. Thank you ❤️
We hired Gifted Events for our day of wedding coordination. Jacky and Kelly were absolute angels, they were so on top of everything the entire day! There are so many things that yo...
u don' think of, and I felt so calm the whole day with these ladies by my side. Not only were they attentive to me and my husband, but also my family and the whole bridal party. They really made the day flow so well and always had back-up ideas, for example when it rained after the ceremony and we had to change our timeline a bit for pictures. They made sure everything ran on time and the day could not have been more perfect. I can' thank Kelly and Jacky enough! They also got some great pictures of us that I was able to share from our wedding. Gifted Events went above and beyond to make our wedding day so special!
We worked with gifted for their day of coordinator package. Kelly relieved a lot of my stress the month leading up to the wedding by touching base with our vendors and answering qu...
estions. We also met our day of coordinator, Jacky, for a walk through about a month out, and it was SO helpful. We had the best day with Jacky and Chia by our sides. They made sure everything was absolutely perfect, which it was. I also enjoyed having them fix my veil or dress at times, which I was not expecting. I felt a great sense of comfort having them around for my wedding day. I truly did not have to worry about anything and had full confidence in them. They really know what they are doing. Thanks so much Kelly, Jacky, and Chia.
We hired gifted events as our day of coordinator and it was one of the best decisions we have ever made. Where do I even begin?? I cannot express how VITAL hiring a day of coordina...
tor is, especially one with Gifted Events. Kelly and Amanda were both a pleasure to work with, listened to all of our needs and made sure everything went as smoothly as possible. From the seamless day of timeline, coordination with vendors and day-of getting ready tips, their expertise is unmatched. My bridal party is still calling Kelly and Amanda the “angels” of day :) Gifted Events went above and beyond and truly, our wedding day wouldn’t have been as amazing as it was, if it weren’t for Gifted Events!! I cannot recommend Gifted Events enough!!
Michelle and Kelly were incredible day of planners. They helped me pull off a complicated event with various vendors and moving parts. They were extremely professional and kind - c...
ame prepared and organized and were lovely to be around. They helped keep me and my bridal party calm cool and collected while supporting the venue to make sure all elements of the wedding were completed in a timely manner. I highly recommend this company and using this duo (Michele and Kelly) as they really helped to ensure I felt prepared and comfortable 1 month prior and totally executed day of to make my wedding day spectacular. THANK YOU!!!!
I met with Kelly very early in my wedding planning process, but decided to wait on booking because I was hesitant about how necessary a day of coordinator would be and if it would ...
be worth the money. After a few months and planning through a pandemic I realized I definitely needed someone to help me and make sure things go as smoothly as possible, so I reached out to Kelly again. Unfortunately she wasn't available anymore for my wedding date but she was able to assign another coordinator, Carla, as my day of coordinator. I cannot express enough how VITAL Carla and Kelly were in making sure I was as stress free as possible during the weeks leading up to and on my wedding day. There wasn't a single time I was bothered by an issue with a vendor or any other part of the wedding day. I was able to enjoy my day, party and not have a worry in the world. Carla was there every second to make sure we were on time, everyone in the bridal party was where they were supposed to be, to fix my train or hair, and just let me breathe and enjoy the day. My advice if you are hesitant/unsure if you really need a DOC, book one NOW (and use Gifted Events), because YOU 100% DO NEED ONE and you will not regret it! I'm so thankful to Gifted Events for all their help and expertise, including giving me vendor recommendations, coming up with a flawless day of timeline and everything in between. My wedding day wouldn't have been as magical and perfect as it was without them!
Omg where do I begin with Kelly & Jacky! They were literally my wedding superheroes!! Kelly was a pleasure to work with and made planning my wedding so effortless. I hired them as ...
my DOC and they exceeded my expectations. Not only did they make sure everyone was on schedule the entire day, they solved any issues that arose without me even knowing. We were short a bouquet and Kelly made sure the bouquet company brought another one. A groomsmen shoe broke before the ceremony and Jacky drove to Men’s Warehouse to replace them. A bridesmaid’s dress was too long, they hemmed it right there!! Jacky even blotted my makeup in the heat while we were taking pictures outside. I seriously can not thank them enough for making my wedding day unforgettable. I will definitely recommend them to anyone having a wedding. If you’re debating whether you need a day of coordinator or not, you need Kelly and her team!!
I hired Kelly for coordination and I am so happy I did! The best advice I received from my photographer was to pick a vendor that you like as a person, because they'll be with you ...
all day. With that, I knew I was going to go with Kelly from out first meeting. Besides being a great person, she is so knowledgeable about the industry and the vendors, very responsive and overall she has a sense of calmness and ease about her and how she handles the day that is so important to have during a high stress day like a wedding. Kelly allowed me to have the best day every because I knew I didn't have anything to worry about. Without a doubt I recommend booking Gifted Events! My one regret is that I didn't book Gifted Events for planning from the start, it would have made my life so much easier and the planning process so much less stressful if I did.
I hired Kelly as our partial wedding planner for our July wedding at Battello in Jersey City. Kelly helped me find vendors, schedule appointments, and made sure we were on track wi...
th every detail leading up to the wedding.
On the day of the wedding, she made sure every detail was perfect! If any family member or guest had a question, Kelly was there to help in every way. She made sure we were on track with our timeline the entire day! Before I could even think of something that needed to be done, she was telling me it was already done.
Kelly made sure I felt no stress the day of my wedding and took care of all the little details. She also made sure that the wedding party and family didn't have to help with any setting up or cleaning up.
I cant recommend Kelly enough- I still have guests from the wedding telling me how helpful she was on our wedding day!!!!
Kelly and her team is absolutely the best!!! If you are thinking of hiring a wedding planner, go with Gifted Events! Kelly and Chia made sure everything was on track the day of my ...
wedding and I don't know what I would of done without them! Kelly contacted all of my vendors, made amazing spreadsheets and most important made my wedding day timeline! They say brides are stressed the day of their wedding and because of kelly & her team I was never stressed on the most important day of my life. THANKS TO GIFTED EVENTS!!!!!!!
Kelly was so great to work with. She was very organized. Steph and Jacky from her team were with me for the day of. They were on top of everything that I had gone over with Kell...
y. They made sure our ceremony started on time and kept the videographer and photographer on schedule. At one point during reception I went down to the bridal suite to use the bathroom and Jacky just appeared to make sure I was okay and to check if I needed anything. Kelly contacted all of my vendors to make sure what time they would be arriving and helped to make a timeline for day of. I know that a day of coordinator is not on everyone’s top priority list but I definitely recommend having one if you can squeeze it in. We had a tight timeline for our vendors to come in and setup and to take pictures before the ceremony and they really helped to make sure things ran smoothly.
If you are debating getting a day of coordinator because your venue already has one think again. For larger weddings especially those that have a church in between I HIGHLY recomme...
nd Kelly. She helped keep the day on track, made sure I was always taken care of, and even got the Tux place to send my husband new pants when his ripped the day of. They truly just add so much peace of mind to the day for what I think is a very affordable price!
We hired Kelly to be our day of coordinator for our wedding on 4/9/2021. Kelly was absolutely amazing, not only helping me out but my whole bridal party from the second she got the...
re to the second she left. Whenever I said I would get something or do something she would tell me to sit and relax, she would handle it. She had an emergency kit with things we needed that I would not have had if she wasn’t there and saved the day! I highly recommend booking Kelly for your special day, she relieves so much stress!
I made the best decision ever hiring Kelly & Michelle for our wedding this past Sunday 10/25/20. I honestly don’t know what I would of done without them. The days leading up to t...
he wedding Kelly was so organized making sure I had everything written out in a perfect timeline. The day of my wedding ? I don’t even know where to begin. LIFESAVER. It ended up raining out of no where during our pictures and we had to move the ceremony inside. Since it is the middle of a pandemic I wanted to freak out but I didn’t feel one ounce of stress thanks to them. They honestly don’t charge enough for their services! They deserve so much. A staple to any brides wedding day. If you haven’t hired them yet do yourself a favor and DO IT. I felt like they were my best friends !! 100000000 Stars!! 🌟
Hire Kelly! I can definitively say that Kelly made our wedding day come to life! We moved our wedding date due to Covid, so we ended up reaching out to Kelly a few weeks before our...
actual date for her day of coordinator services. To start, Kelly is responsive, flexible and a consummate professional. She responded to my inquiry very quickly, and as I walked her through our vision and needs, she provided plenty of ideas and walked me through her process. She is incredibly organized, and from the moment we first spoke began drafting various spreadsheets and documents of everything you could think of. She also shared great resources with us right after we retained her, including a really wonderful seamstress and a great tux/suit shop. Shortly after our first conversation, Kelly met with us at our wedding site, walked with us through the vision, took notes, measurements, etc., and helped us visualize the day. Later that same day, she sent us a detailed document of all of the notes, photos and things we wanted to make sure we remembered. Over the next few weeks, Kelly coordinated our vendors, kept updated on all of our (somewhat complicated) ceremony details, and continued to update her various spreadsheets/documents. Fast forward to the day of, Kelly and Jacky were our superheros. All the vendors arrived on time, and Kelly and Jacky were working hard to pull all of the details together. They provided ceremony and reception setup and executed our vision exactly how we dreamed about it. They went above and beyond – making sure we had water while we took photos, helping with my dress and veil, and really just making our day as seamless as possible. Kelly also saved us at the end of the day by helping with a huge oversight! Definitely hire Kelly and Gifted Events – they will help bring your dreams to life!
I cannot begin to express my gratitude for Kelly and Jacky. My husband and I were subject to COVID's wrath and found ourselves scrambling last minute in July when we realized our o...
riginal venue did not have an outdoor reception option. We ended up changing our venue and needed to reconfigure our vision. I quickly realized we couldn't do this on our own. I sent Kelly a panic email at 11:00pm on a Tuesday night (approx. a month and a half from our new wedding date). She got back to me within minutes and next thing I knew we were on the phone the next day for an hour. Any time I sat on my couch thinking of the million and one things that needed to get done or situated - I would call or text Kelly and she was there for me. Although I haven't known Kelly for a long time I felt like I had a best friend helping me along the way. Kelly and Jacky dealt with my crazy (and loud) family and friends, worked with all my vendors, and helped make the details look beautiful. Everyone needs a Kelly in their lives and on their wedding day. You will not be disappointed!
Kelly and Michelle were AMAZING. My day was absolutely perfect! They were prepared, attentive and on point. If anything did come up, I wouldn't even know because they took care of ...
it all. They are amazing at what they do, very personable, reliable and professional. I would (and have) recommended Gifted Events NJ to all my soon to be brides! If you are looking for a planner or a day of coordinator do not hesitate to contact them! It's like planning a wedding with your best friends! Thank you again for helping my dream wedding come to life!
Gifted Events (Kelly) went above and beyond for me while planning the wedding. In the weeks leading up to the wedding she was prepared and on it- helping us through everything duri...
ng a very hectic time. On the day of, she was like a magician, everything we needed or wanted she pulled out of a hat, she kept everyone (vendors and bridal party) on time and in check. On top of that she really cares about the people she works with. She reaches out all the time and was super supportive and kind during the entire process. If I could do it again I’d hire gifted events every time.
If you aren't signing your contract with Kelly, you're doing it all wrong! From the second I sat with her a couple of months prior to our wedding, I knew that she was the one we n...
eeded for day of coordination. Her personality was calm, she was knowledgeable, responsive, and I could tell that she TRULY loved what she does. I had spoke with Kelly's competition, within the same time frame and that solidified the decision for me. Kelly does not treat you like another business transaction. She treats you like a friend that she has had for years. She goes above and beyond to make sure that you have all you need to make your special day everything that you want and more. Kelly knows that you only get one chance at it, and she takes the time to organize a detailed timeline, confirm with vendors, and ensure everyone is on the same page. Seeing her that morning provided comfort for me. I knew that no matter WHAT happened that day, everything would be okay because Kelly would make sure of it. I am actually sad that I won't have to speak with her frequently for planning purposes. I enjoyed our talks and it was truly a pleasure working alongside of her. I wish Kelly nothing but the best in all that the future holds for her because she truly deserves it.
Kelly TRULY went above and beyond for us, starting from our first meeting. At the time I was balancing wedding planning, working full time and spending my days off visiting my gran...
dmother in the hospital. Kelly was sweet enough to come to me after already waiting a few hours to meet at a nearby cafe. (Thank you so much!) Toward the end of my wedding planning I felt overwhelmed with all of the details and sorting out certain things so I knew I needed someone to help but also someone I could trust and that was an instant thing with Kelly. From the second we organized all of the details and plannings she was able to take over for me and my stress could finally go to rest. I was able to enjoy my wedding day and had absolutely no idea of any obstacles that aroused because they were quickly taken cared of by Kelly. All in all I’d 100% recommend her to all brides, your wedding day should be spent in full enjoyment and while you do have bridesmaids, there’s NOTHING like having someone there for you every second of the day. Kelly you were amazing and kept me so calm, thank you so much for all that you did!!! I can’t even put into words how much was done lol Thank you for allowing me to have the best day of my life.
ATTENTION BRIDES!!! I cannot rave enough about Kelly Seca. This is a person who genuinely went above and beyond. I was so calm knowing kelly had everything in control. I texted her...
late nights when I would randomly remember things and she had already done it! She made my wedding day so easy. 10/10 for sure
Kelly is 10000% the most wonderful person I have ever worked with. She was my day of coordinator for my wedding in the beginning of November. She was always on time, always ready t...
o go, organized, well spoken, and always taking notes or giving good advice. Kelly was with me for every detail of my day, accommodating to my friends and family. We had a minor mishap with another vendor and she personally drove my stepmom to the mall to get her makeup done while I was getting ready, no questions asked. We even lost power at our hotel and she was immediately on the phone looking for solutions! She is THE BEST. She eased any bit of stress I had, and made sure every single thing I wanted was done correctly. She is worth every penny. My family and friends complimented her hard work all night and for weeks after. If you are looking for any type of wedding or party coordinator, SHE IS YOUR GIRL!
I didn’t even realize how much I needed Kelly until she began working with us the month leading up to our wedding! (To put things into perspective, I have an obsessive planning per...
sonality with color coded everything and a spreadsheet for all things imaginable, yet I still couldn't have done it without her.) Kelly went above and beyond in everything she did - from going to see the venue on her own time, to noticing little things I had mentioned to vendors in emails she was CC'ed on and taking care of them herself, to blotting sweat off me after a wild dance set at the wedding, ha, and that’s just to name a few. She was so proactive in tying up loose ends which I LOVED, and shows that she really knows what she's doing. The day of the wedding, I anticipated chaos and rush but it was the most fun, relaxing and positive day ever. I don’t know how she managed to stay on top of me, the bridal party, my husband and all the men (we got ready at separate locations about 30 min away from one another), and then all the vendors on top of that, but she did - and never hesitated when I asked a question. Not only did she keep the day flowing, on time, and everyone happy and in the know, she was so calm, collected, and professional the entire time. Always behind the scenes, yet somehow there whenever I needed her. If she has your date available, BOOK HER NOW, before someone else snatches her up... trust me. She will make sure you have the best, most stress free wedding ever.
When my now husband and I, made the decision to hire a coordinator, we narrowed our search down to 3 reputable NJ wedding planners and set some time to interview with all 3. While ...
I was left a little iffy through my conversations with the others, the second we sat down with Kelly, we knew that she was the missing piece to our team.
Kelly, from the very beginning was super personable and easy to talk to. She seemed more like a friend rather than just another vendor. Although we hired her for day of coordination, I was able to reach out to Kelly with any questions I had throughout the planning process. She handled all of our vendors during the final weeks leading to our wedding day, confirmed our timeline with them 2 times!!! and even attended a few vendor meetings with us. Day of, she arrived on time and acted professionally throughout the whole day, and ensured that everything was running smoothly and on time. She even brought my wedding dress down to the venue, as I didn't want to carry it around with me everywhere!
If there were any mishaps on our day, I didn't know of any of them! Kelly handled everything flawlessly and was always super organized! We have a rowdy group of friends, and Kelly was able to handle them with ease; even they acknowledged how amazing she was! A few of my bridesmaids are newly engaged and after seeing how she handled my day, are reaching out to her to hire her as well. Hiring Kelly was the best decision that we made!!!!
Kelly is THE best. I am an event planner myself and I honestly can't imagine pulling off my wedding without her. There was no task too big or too small and you can tell she truly c...
ares about your wedding and you as a person. I had a fully outdoor wedding with lots of moving pieces and set up and she handled it all flawlessly. Kelly never missed a call or an appointment and went above and beyond to make sure I enjoyed my wedding day. She's now planning one of my bridesmaid's weddings, too! Best decision I made.
Kelly was a complete life saver on our wedding day. Even from before and to after it was over she made sure everything was handled. She took away sooo much stress from myself and m...
y bridal party to the point where we had nothing to worry about and had the time of our lives. The day went on perfectly without a single problem because Kelly made sure of it. It was the best decision we made to hire her to take care of everything on our special day and we will forever be so so grateful for her!!!!!
Absolutely amazing above expectations.
Kelly!! I cannot thank you enough for everything you did for my husband, my family and my self! Honestly we all don’t know what we would have...
done without you it’s been about a week now and we still can’t stop talking about how lost we would have been without you. Thank you for keeping us all sane and letting us enjoy the wedding day to the fullest! Thank you for keep my husband and I calm all day! Thank you for taking care of my parents and letting them enjoy every second of the day. We are so grateful for you and everything you have done! ❤️❤️❤️ thank you for being our superwoman!!
Kelly is an amazing person! Very professional & organized, responds quickly to e-mails or texts. From the very first time I reached out to her, she was very responsive and creative...
. I shared my ideas with her and she made an inspiration board of all my favorites. She goes above and beyond for her clients and expects nothing less than perfection. Yesterday, everything I imagined and loved was right in front of me. From the delicious desserts to the table decor. If you are looking to book a baby shower, bridal shower, wedding, graduation party, or any other event Gifted Event Planning is the way to go.
We hired GEP for our wedding and they did a great job! We had an all [day] event starting at 10am with a Hindu Ceremony followed by lunch. Then we had a break and Catholic Ceremony...
. Finally we had our reception which ended sometime after 12am. Kelly & Cloe were able to keep our vendors on the timeline. They were really helpful with the venue and keeping GM for the hall in check as the venue staff was extremely unorganized! Kelly & Cloe jumped in & took control for what the venue staff lacked in organization. We were very pleased with their service.
Kelly Ann was absolutely flawless in everything she did! She made my wedding planning process so smooth! She was always available for appointments, she gave great recommendations a...
nd she was super patient with me! she is extremely knowledgeable and professional! All our other vendors kept complimenting her work and how our day just ran so smooth with out a hitch!!! Every bride to be needs Kelly by their side!!!
