Hannah was an AMAZING addition to our team on our wedding day. She was organized, attentive and even when things got stressful she was there to help smooth them out. I’m a type A p...
erson so I was nervous to pass on the reigns to someone else but I’m so happy I did. Hannah was great at coordinating everything leading up to the wedding and I felt like she genuinely cared about me and my partner. This company is definitely worth your time and also super affordable! 10/10 recommend!
Hannah was our super hero. She listens and executes flawlessly. Given a challenging venue, the wedding could not have been more perfect. She is charming, professional, a bundle of ...
energy and easy to work with. She ensured we remained confident and relaxed. What a blessing!
Hannah worked so hard to make sure our day was perfect! She got there early to set up and made sure everything happened on time. She is so sweet and easy to work with! We were abl...
e to truly enjoy the evening because we knew she had everything under control. I highly recommend Given Event Co!
Leah was the best and helped the day run smoothly!
Leah is the BEST. I can’t recommend her enough for wedding planning/coordinating. On my wedding day, she made everything run so smoothly and was the sweetest friend and cheerleader...
. She is helpful, supportive, kind, and just incredible to work with. She has your back and truly cares about making your wedding the greatest day. My entire family loves Leah and enjoyed having her there!!!
Given Event Co was great for our wedding! Due to Covid, we had to move the wedding twice and they were understanding and helpful every step of the way. Hannah was our coordinator...
and she made it a seamless day! She was helpful and kind with our families and I was very glad we hired them!
I keep telling people, "I literally don't think anything went wrong on my wedding day. If something did, Leah & Hannah took care of it with ease." It was amazing to have them as pa...
rt of our day and their dedication and attention to detail made the whole day come together.
At first I was hesitant about getting a coordinator but I eventually came to think I did not want to stress about anything at all on my wedding day! So I came across Given Event Co...
and met Leah and Hannah. At first I got into contact with Leah and right off the bat she got right to it! I asked her many questions months before our wedding and she was always responsive when needed! Fast forward to the month of our wedding I finally got to meet Leah and Hannah in person and they are both the kindest and loveliest people! After our first meeting I walked out of there feeling so much better about how our wedding day was gonna go! Hannah was able to make it to our rehearsal and was always attentive to what WE wanted for our wedding. Both Leah and Hannah really made our wedding run so smooth and were so so sweet to our families. They made sure not only did we have enough to eat and drink but always asked us if we were ready to move onto the next event before doing so. At the end of the night all we had to do was pack up our own personal belongings; they had already cleaned and packed up everything else! If you are on the fence about getting a coordinator like I was, just do it! Especially with Given Event Co!
This review took me so long to write because I wanted to be sure to fully express what Leah and Given Event Co. means to me. From the very beginning, though I tried to be the least...
crazy bride, there were so many factors that went into my wedding that Leah rolled with. From almost moving to actually moving to COVID rescheduling and not so nice vendors, Leah was the definition of professional. She fought for me when I tried to reschedule my wedding and the venue was being difficult. She kept me focused.... and was patient with me when I would forget or forever to do something. She calmed me down when I was in a panic, she hyped me up when I was feeling down about the wedding… and when the day came, it was beyond my wildest dream. You always hear about weddings being so stressful on the bride, but mine was so relaxing because of Leah. Everything was handled, everyone was happy, and I can honestly say it was the best day of my life. The best parts of the night were little pockets of time that she planned into the day to give us the opportunity to just be us… Nick and Rebecca. We had a private dinner, a private dance, and still had time to greet ALL of our guests. It was so special. If I could, I would hire Given Event Co. to plan my life. I cannot sing Leah’s praises highly enough. She truly created the best day of my life, and I am so grateful to everything she has given me.
HIRE THESE GIRLS!
Given Event Co. was one of the best decisions I made when planning my wedding. Megan helped run my rehearsal dinner and Leah was there for my wedding day. Both g...
irls were extremely professional, calm and kind. Leah was the calm to my storm on my wedding day. She knew exactly what I was thinking before I even said it out loud. I cannot recommend this company enough. I know weddings can be expensive but they are very reasonably priced and the service that was delivered was FIVE STAR.
Leah and Megan, thank you both for being there for me. I will never forget how amazing of an experience this was. I will forever recommend Given Event Co. to everyone I know.
Leah was an absolute dream to work with! She was our wedding coordinator for our wedding before and during COVID and made everything so easy, especially during a stressful and unpr...
ecedented time such as this. She is about the details, super easy to work with, considerate, and professional. My husband and I got married on October 23rd and Leah made the day run so smoothly that we and our loved ones were able to just enjoy the day. The next day I heard nothing but wonderful things about Leah and how impressed everyone was with how the day went and what a great time they had. Trust me, you need at a minimum a day or month of coordinator so that the details of the day don't fall to you, your mom, or maid of honor, and you need Leah--can't recommend her and Given Event Co. highly enough!
I cannot say enough about Leah and Given Event Co!! They made wedding planning in the midst of a global pandemic a piece of cake! I am a bit of a control freak, so I hired Leah for...
day-of coordinating. I already had a good idea of what I wanted my wedding day to look like and she swooped in and executed my vision with perfection! I can honestly say I didn't have an ounce of anxiety on my wedding day. Leah had been working hard behind the scenes to make sure every detail and every vendor was on the same page the week before our big day. If you are looking to work with someone experienced, organized, and efficient, you have found that and more with Given Event Co!
Our coordinator, Leah Hudson, immediately took all of the pressure off of my fiancé regarding the wedding planning, which in turn greatly improved my life quality of life. She was...
thorough, patient, and was clearly knowledgeable of every aspect of the wedding. It would not have gone as smoothly and we would have had much less fun if she was not there to handle the details and keep the day moving. I would highly recommend her services to anyone.
Leah was absolutely amazing with coordinating our wedding day! We were planning on an outdoor ceremony however, it was raining ALL day. Leah kept calm and collected and had many di...
fferent ideas for creating our dream ceremony inside. It ended up being beautiful and perfect. She was amazing throughout the whole day.
Leah was simply amazing! We greatly appreciate all you did for Courtney. You were so calm during the uncertainty of the weather, and so caring to her. As the family planner, it to...
ok me a minute to realize that I didn’t need to worry about any of the details. You did it all for us - from making sure the vendors arrived and had everything they need, to the last minute change from an outdoor wedding to indoors when the rain started again, to packing up the cake top and everything in between! Thanks for allowing me to relax and enjoy the wedding and reception! I feel like there aren’t enough superlatives to truly express how you served us that day. If a bride is looking a wedding coordinator, I highly recommend Given Event Co!
Leah was an amazing month-of-coordinator!!! She is extremely kind, organized, timely and very knowledgeable about the wedding planning industry. She helped us get organized leading...
up to the wedding and made sure we thought through every detail. She absolutely respected our wishes for how we wanted the day to go and the wedding was absolutely perfect!! She decorated the venue exactly how I wanted and followed the timeline perfectly without making any part of the evening feel rushed. I highly recommend Leah! She made all the difference in the world for me to be able to enjoy my wedding day.
Leah was absolutely outstanding! From our initial consultation up and through the wedding (and after), Leah was professional, attentive, knowledgeable, and provided the best servic...
e a bride could ask for! I was completely lost about how to plan and coordinate my weddings final details until Leah came along. She answered all of my questions and guided us through the process with such ease. Everything went perfectly and I know it's because of Leah. I could not have never asked for a better point of contact on the day of! She received all incoming drop offs, guided our wedding party and still made sure I had a hand in decorating(which was a big thing for me). On a separate note, we have a large, blended family and Leah was able to deal with everyone and coordinate all parties without hesitation. If you're looking for a wedding planning, look no further. Given Event Co is the best around!
Hiring Leah was honestly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! From the first to our last interaction, she was professional, responsive, organized and genuinely cared ...
about getting to know us/making sure that our day exactly what we hoped for.
After initially reaching out to Leah, she responded back within 2 hours to schedule some time for an "intake". During our first call she spent time thoughtfully getting to know me, my husband and I as a couple, current status of the wedding and what was most important to us (all of which she made happen).
Leading up to the big day and on the big day, Leah was incredible and handling every situation with grace and perfection! She made sure everyone was organized, removed me from any stressful situations, kept us to our timeline (only gently stepping in when needed), and made sure everything that was important to us happened. I didn't notice this during the wedding, but she captured so many moments (pics and videos) that she later shared with us that were so special/fun to look at the next day.
Everyone from my bridesmaids to the owner of our venue was so complimentary of her and for good reason. If you're debating on whether you should get a Coordinator or if you should go with Leah - do it! I can't thank her enough for making our day extra special!
Leah and Megan were wonderful to work with! Megan was our senior coordinator for the month of, and she did an amazing job. Both Leah and Megan were calm, organized, and professiona...
l. They also thought through all of the details I didn't realize I needed to decide on! on my actual wedding day, I got to enjoy time with my now husband, wedding party, family and friends. They helped the day go smoothly and kept me calm :)
My husband and I got married earlier this month and quite honestly our wedding would not have been more perfect without the help of Leah from Given Events! She was absolutely a God...
send and helped us from start to finish! She made our wedding day stress free and took care of all the small details that can be a huge headache for most brides and grooms. Leah was very patient, polite, professional, super attentive, and respectful of our needs and wishes. She did a wonderful job communicating with our vendors, made sure everything was on schedule, and checked in on us regularly to ensure we had everything we needed. She even spent a good half an hour or so helping me adjust my dress when I couldn't get it to bustle correctly. We also had lots of our guests come to us afterwards and complement her work! I would definitely recommend her for anyone looking for an event planner or month of coordinator! This was absolutely one of the best choices we made for our wedding!
If you haven’t hired your Wedding Day-of-Coordinator yet, you need to hire Leah! We hired her 3 weeks before our wedding because I knew I needed someone to pull together everything...
for us on our special day (I also started to freak out because I couldn’t handle all of the stress along with responsibilities at work!). Our day ran so smoothly and Leah made sure of it. If you have a vision already and just need someone to put it all together for you, Given Event is the perfect match for you. If you are anything like me and want to plan everything on your own, you are still going to need someone to help you on the day of your wedding. Here are just some things to note that she did that really helped us:
-Directing processional/recessional
- I didn’t have “reserved signs” for the ceremony but we wanted for our immediate family to sit in the first few rows and she directed this for us.
-Set-up of all wedding decor, signage, etc. BEAUTIFULLY! I mean she really went above and beyond and the wedding looked more beautiful than we could have imagined!
-Directed our vendors on the wedding day PERFECTLY!
-Helped us stay on our wedding timeline!!! So important!!!!
-Made sure that we had dinner and a drink at all times!
But most importantly Leah was the sweetest to work with and made us feel so special! Thank you again Leah for making our day so amazing!!!!
Leah and her team were AMAZING!!!
If you are planning a wedding and think you don't need a day-of-coordinator, think again! At first, I thought the same and thought that both fam...
ilies and friends could help out on the day. After giving it much thought I realized I didn't want that added stress on my family and friends. I want them to enjoy the wedding too.
Boy are we glad we hired Leah. She was the best decision I made, besides saying yes to my husband. If there was anything that went wrong that day, we didn't know it. We thought everything went so well and looked beautiful. She was also your friend throughout the entire process. She had words of encouragement and advice for me when I was under a lot of stress. I am so grateful that she was there to run the wedding. Do hire her. You will not regret it.
Moms! Brides! Get a day of coordinator! My daughter was married on 8/10/2019. It was absolutely fabulous. We had great vendors that we spoke with before the wedding and t...
hey knew what we wanted so that was great. During the process, people would ask – do you have a wedding coordinator/day of coordinator? We would say “no”. We had all the major things confirmed: caterer, floral, venue, etc…. – why would we need a day of coordinator? I am a hands on Mom and I know what my daughter/son-in-law wanted, we could put this all together ourselves and save some money. When it was about 7 weeks out and there were so many little details, timelines, who was suppose to do what and what time are they suppose to do it started surfacing – I went in to a bit of panic. I realized then, that the person my daughter would lean on was me and the bridal team – however I was going to feel ultimately responsible for how it unfolded on the day of her wedding. I did not want to be chasing people around, working with the vendors, resolving problems, plugging in bubble machines etc…..I wanted to spend every moment of this time with my daughter and being there for her. All I have to say is get a coordinator!!!
Given Event was referred to my daughter by an up and coming bride. My daughter called her and instantly said “this is the one!”. I also talked with Leah Hudson that day and after a couple of melt downs on the phone with her – I agreed. We met face to face with her the following week and she asked questions, got the vision of what my daughter wanted, talked about timelines and most of the details. The big day came around and all the tubs of stuff we had purchased were now at the venue and once again panic set in – I knew what my daughter wanted so I started to help set things up – but there was so much. Leah came to me and said “Teri – go spend time with Carisa, this is why you hired me!” From that moment – I did – I enjoyed every second with my daughter and knew that Leah was on top of it! When I look back – I think – Wow – I went and said hello to all the vendors we had hired, but on my schedule and it was just to say Hi and thank you for being here. I know everyone of the vendors came in asking questions and needing answers and direction, but to this day I do not know what they were. We later found out that mother nature had destroyed a decoration out on the alter – Leah was obviously quick to resolve the problem without us even knowing about it. I am so thankful that Leah made me go spend time where I was needed the most and that was with my daughter. Not to sound cliché, but this was priceless…. I highly recommend Leah Hudson at Given Event – she is just amazing and knows her business. I would also like to say that I have talked to a couple of other vendors that I had hired and they said the same thing – Leah Hudson was so great to work with – we had hired a great one!!!
We hired Leah and Given Event Co. to help us plan and coordinate a business event. Leah handled every detail that I didn't want to deal with and made sure that every part of it wen...
t exactly as I wanted. Her suggestions throughout planning proved to be helpful and much needed! Having them take over the planning allowed me to focus on the things I needed to prepare. Not only is Leah excellent at what she does, she is an absolute joy to be around! Highly recommend Given Event Co. to help you with an event of any kind!
