d professionalism, ensuring that everything went off without a hitch. Allyson, the team captain, was an absolute badass — she ran the rehearsal at the church flawlessly and made sure everything was perfectly coordinated. Her expertise and calm demeanor gave us the confidence to truly enjoy every moment. The attention to detail was exquisite — they thought of everything, and we could not have had such a beautiful, stress-free day without them. Thank you, Gandy team, and especially Allyson, for making our wedding everything we dreamed of and more!

Highly, highly, highly recommend John Gandy Events! If you're getting married, do yourself a favor and work with them. They made wedding planning an absolute breeze, connecting me ...
with the best vendors and bringing all of my visions to life effortlessly. It was truly amazing working with their team, especially Allyson, our coordinator. She completely nailed my vision and somehow always knew exactly what I was thinking—even when I was deep in bridal brain fog!

itially and then mostly with one of his senior staff, Emily. Emily was a genius; she and the team orchestrated the day perfectly like a dance. Every minute and detail had purpose. Our guests were constantly gushing about how it was the most fun wedding they had ever been to. Their smiles are apparent in the photos. Thank you so much for making our day perfect.
Our daughter was married 2/3/24. We engaged JGE and his team back in April 2023. Since our very first meeting, this team far exceeded our expectations. They guided us through the...
litany of logistical considerations and decisions that we needed to make. Everything from venue options, catering, flowers, entertainment, decor, weather monitoring and contingencies, etc.....no detail was left unattended. Our designated event coordinator, Allyson DuBose, was extraordinary and truly provided personal attention to all details. She was always accessible, friendly, professional, thoughtful and provide great insight on the decisions we needed to make. As a result of JGE and the team, our daughter's wedding was magnificent. We could have done this without JGE. THANK YOU TO THE ENTIRE JGE TEAM!!!

thought through and helped us have the most beautiful day. They assisted us with all planning leading up to the big day, along with the rehearsal, day of coordinating, scheduling vendors, and decorating the weekend of the wedding.

On July 9th, 2022, we celebrated the marriage of our daughter to the love of her life. Alongside the birth of our daughters and our own wedding 30 years ago, it was the happiest da...
y of our lives. A year ago, July 2021, we had just received a request from our now son in law to meet for dinner in a small Georgia town nearby. Even before he asked permission to marry our daughter at dinner that night, and at the risk of “jumping ahead”, I had my priority list already written for the day following. At the top of my list was one phone call- to our friend, John Gandy.
Knowing his level of expertise and decades long experience in event planning was only part of our reason for placing him at the top of our priority list. For years we had attended weddings and events John and his team had successfully planned and executed. We then experienced first hand working with him at our own business event in recent months. Everything we had heard about him was validated. He far surpassed our highest expectations.
His professionalism, eye for beauty, reading his audience, the incredible people he has chosen to surround himself with, and most importantly his integrity in all aspects of his business are all key components to his success. The respect he has earned throughout our community, and far beyond, is undeniable.
On the day of our daughter’s wedding, we were able to truly enjoy each moment from the very beginning early that morning all the way through the night …..to the happiest ending. He and his incredible team attended to each detail beautifully, flawlessly.
The day for the entire McClure/Shenker Family was perfect- knowing we were in such capable hands. We could not imagine any of it without JGE.

ay of the wedding. He made my wedding an absolute dream and such an easy day. My parents, sisters and I had a nice fun day celebrating while his team was on it and took care of everything. If you needed anything or forgot something they had it. All of his vendors he recommend were amazing! I could not be more thankful that he helped me with my wedding, or I should say planned it. I didn’t have to worry about anything. Just got to have fun and enjoy the day. I would highly recommend him for to anyone planning a wedding or any event. He’s the best!
John Gandy is the best around. He did a phenomenal job on every aspect from the wedding planning process through the reception. His team did all the decorations and it could not ...
have been better. He took so much pressure off the planning process and was in control and had a solution to any question or issue that arose. His team was very professional and they think of everything and are always available if you need anything. I would highly recommend John for your wedding or any event regardless of location. He truly is the best around, everyone knows him, and he is highly respected. He is also one of the nicest people you will meet.

events and was used to doing it all , but this was my first wedding and trust me JGE exceeded my expectations. They are a "Master" at what they do, as they have perfected all aspects from start to finish , whether it's vendor recommendations, timelines, venues, saving you time and money, attention to every detail, and yes even managing stress! Another bonus to the JGE Team is their phenomenal talent and creativity. They have magnificent resources in their warehouse at your disposal (furniture, linens, décor) as they help you create your own personalized wedding. I love that they want to make your special day about the bride and groom and what is their unique style. When JGE says a team, they mean it and that is so important to have the right team and number of people to execute your plan. JGE absolutely took all the pressure off the rehearsal and the day of the wedding, it was executed seamlessly! As I found out weddings can have many integral parts, emotions, and dynamics , yet because I put my trust in JGE we were able relax, have fun, enjoy every minute, and as I quote my son and daughter in law, “I know why you hired JGE”, “Best Day Ever”, “Redo”, they didn’t want it to end and neither did I !
Cheers to the JGE Team !

e to life, but I am so thankful I choose John Gandy and his team. Even on the day of the wedding I had like 5 people doing EVERYTHING for me (bringing me wine during the reception, tightening my shoes, fixing my dress so I could dance, etc). Highly recommend- nothing went wrong that I know of the day of.
The JGE team is THE BEST, hands down! They recommended the best vendors for us, listened to our dream ideas (while on a budget), and made it a reality (that looked as if there were...
no budget). I truly could not recommend a planner more. Every detail was so gorgeous and thoughtful! Our wedding couldn't have been more perfect and more "us" which meant a lot. We felt so supported by them the entire time. Thank you to the JGE team for giving us the best wedding day and gift of a lifetime. :) We are forever thankful!

professionalism and grace, handling everything in a timely manner with tact and a light touch, but allowing us to fully enjoy our daughter's special day.

Our daughter's wedding was held at The Ritz-Carlton Amelia Island in North Florida with approximately 300 guests. John Gandy Events (JGE) planned an amazing event, work on which ...
began 14 months ago. Through a series of video calls amidst the pandemic, JGE was able to get to know our family and ascertain exactly what our daughter wanted for her special day. Every detail of the wedding, and the events leading up to it, was executed flawlessly with precision and style. Any time that we had a question, emails and phone calls were answered punctually. On the wedding day itself, whenever we turned around, it seemed a JGE staff member was there to address any and every concern. Due to well-earned trust in the JGE team, our daughter, son-in-law and our families were able to focus on enjoying the moment and just having fun. It was remarkable just how calm and composed John and his team remained no matter what situation arose. JGE professionally managed all vendors, coordinating timing and intersectionality such that all aspects of the wedding flowed seamlessly, with numerous guests commenting on how well things went. We simply cannot say enough about this amazing team. I wish that I could offer some constructive criticism, but we really cannot imagine this once-in-a-lifetime event going any better. If there were six stars to give, we would do it! Thank you John, Troy and team!

They handled everything quickly and efficiently, answering every question that I had along the way. I truly could not have asked for a better team, both leading up to our wedding and on the day of. If you are looking for a planner that will exceed your expectations and make your wedding planning process and wedding day magical, then I cannot recommend John Gandy and his team enough!
There are no words to describe the team and their work ethic at John Gandy Events. As corny as it sounds, they really do make your wedding dreams come true. We never once had to st...
ress about a thing because they were always on top of it. My wedding guest book didn't look like it was going to arrive on time, and Troy and John simply said "we've got it." On wedding day I saw a beautiful Thomasville, GA (where we had our reception) "coffee table" type of book laying out for guests to write within, which I thought was so cool and WAY better than a typical guest book you'd just store away somewhere in your house. Now our wedding guest book sits out on display on our coffee table. Something so small, but makes such a difference. JGE doesn't miss a detail. We cannot recommend them enough.
