Stone Event Planning-Gabrielle Stone Reviews

Reviewed On 10/11/2015 by Michelle G
I realized early on in the planning process that I knew absolutely nothing about weddings and I was terrified of messing up and having a bad wedding experience as a result. So, we decided to find a wedding planner. Gabrielle was one of the firs...
t ones I contacted and the first to respond. We clicked with her during our first meeting. She has such a calming manner and her record of beautiful weddings (she showed us a slideshow at the initial meeting) really speaks for itself. Throughout the planning process, she handled all research involved in choosing vendors, leaving us with just a few goods ones to choose from. She then handled all communication with vendors once we selected them, which was so helpful to us. Gabrielle is amazingly organized and able to keep all the myriad moving parts involved in planning a wedding working in perfect harmony. Any time we asked a question, she responded pretty much immediately; we never felt like we weren't her top priority, even though she obviously had other events to work on throughout the year she was planning our wedding. Once the big day came, we found we were not nearly as nervous as we would have expected since we knew Gabrielle and her assistant, Kelly, were making sure all the little details were taken care of. Kelly came to our hotel suite while we were getting ready to make sure we got into our transportation to the venue on time while Gabrielle coordinated set-up at the venue. One of the main reasons I wanted a planner was so that, if something did go wrong the day of, I wouldn't have to worry about it. As far as I know, everything went absolutely perfectly; if something did go wrong, Gabrielle clearly used her extensive experience and know-how to fix it quickly and quietly. Many of our guests pointed out how wonderfully everything worked out and what an enjoyable event it was. I will gladly give much of the credit for everything going so smoothly to Gabrielle and Kelly. My husband and I were able to enjoy ourselves at our wedding and concentrate on spending time with each other and our guests since we didn't have to worry about anything else; this is an invaluable gift for a couple on their wedding day. Gabrielle is certainly not cheap, but you pay for quality. With Gabrielle Stone, you never have to worry that you picked the wrong vendor (she's worked with everyone in the Boston area and knows the best people for every job.) You don't need to deal with every little question vendors have. Gabrielle will meet with you and discuss your wedding requests in depth so she can answer most questions from vendors without ever bothering you. And on your wedding day, Gabrielle will ensure that you are stress-free and can focus on enjoying yourself. I wholeheartedly suggest Gabrielle Stone to anyone who wants a pleasant, stress-free wedding planning experience. You won't regret it!

Gabrielle did an amazing job with our wedding. She was extremely detail oriented and diligent from the beginning of the planning process (which started ~11 months before the actual wedding started) to the actual wedding. She responded quickly (...
usually within a few hours) to countless emails from us over the past 11 months, and met with us and our vendors numerous times in order to ensure every detail was accounted for. She saved us so much time and stress by dealing with all the vendors before the wedding so we didn't have to worry about details such as DJ speaker hook-up at the venue, microphones at the ceremony, etc etc. She also has a Status Report that she updates every few days that guides us to what needs to be done in the short term. This process was highly beneficial for us because it guided us to make decisions on time so we didn't have to stress about last minute tasks and decisions. Instead, we had plenty of time in the days leading up to the wedding to practice our first dance, spend and enjoy time with visiting friends and family, etc. As the bride and groom, we only took off 1-2 days from work total between the two of us which would have been unimaginable without a wedding planner like Gabrielle. Gabrielle also has recommendations for all vendors we needed for our wedding at a range of price points. She even brought a sewing kit to the venue on the day of our wedding, which proved invaluable because the groom's jacket button fell off a few minutes before the ceremony.

We're in the midst of planning our wedding and have been absolutely thrilled with the level of service provided by Gabrielle. She is extremely well-organized and has always been available to talk or email with us at a moments' notice about any...
aspect of our wedding, however small. She has a warm, professional, and trustworthy demeanor, which means that we look forward to our meetings with her. We have been impressed with her efforts to get to know us, so that she can tailor her advice and suggestions to our tastes and preferences. We have been very happy with all of her suggestions. She also has an incredible knack of preempting what we might be concerned about with regard to any particular decision and tries to reassure us, which has considerably reduced the stress of organizing a wedding thousands of miles from our respective families. We couldn't be happier with Gabrielle and recommend her very highly.

Gabrielle was a wonder! Her finely honed organizational skills and ability to work with multiple vendors, venues, and issues simultaneously were enormously helpful and a stress reliever for both the bride and her mother! She was able to keep ...
our plans on a mostly on time track and to keep abreast of all phases of plans--from invitations through seating charts, rehearsals to transportation. Her knowledge of resources in the Boston area was excellent and willingly supplemented by intense research. I was impressed by her willingness to honestly say she didn't know the answer to a specific question and to get back to us with whatever she learned about the issue. She made herself readily and easily available and accessible and I think made good judgments about how she could work best with us. I can really whole heartedly recommend her services. Stone Event Planning made the organizing and running of the wedding a well thought out, well planned, and smoothly run event.

I can't heap enough praise on Gabrielle and her team. As a bit of a type-A bride, Gabrielle truly kept me sane and made wedding planning less stressful than I ever thought it could be. She guided me every step of the way (suggesting vendors, sc...
heduling appointments, keeping me on a timeline) while still leaving plenty of room for me to make decisions and for my husband and I to put our personal stamp on things. Gabrielle is a consummate professional, as are all of her employees (no inexperienced interns here!), but most importantly, she's simply a joy to work with. I can't imagine having gone through this process without her!

My wife and I agree that hiring Gabrielle was the best decision we made in planning our wedding. My wife wanted a planner who was very organized to help her through the planning, and I wanted someone practical who would help us stay within our...
budget. We interviewed half a dozen planners and Gabrielle was the one person we both agreed on without reservations. One of my biggest concerns was that the planner would side with my wife whenever she and I disagreed, but I actually found Gabrielle did a great job of helping us think through decisions and managed to stay neutral. She was able to draw on her experience planning a wide range of other weddings to help us figure out what was right for us. Another big concern for me was that the wedding would get "out of control." Not just the cost, but also the style. I wanted something elegant, but not ostentatious. Gabrielle was great at helping us figure out where to splurge and where to cut costs, so we got the desired effect within our budget. I really can't say enough good things about Gabrielle. She was instrumental in helping us plan a wedding we BOTH really liked, and in keeping us sane during the process.

Gabrielle helped me make my dream wedding come true, and she did it in 4 months! She is incredibly focused, organized, honest, and she gets the job done perfectly. I had a vision and she helped me bring it to life and it turned out to be better...
than I could have imagined. She recommended the best vendors, dealt with all the details that I did not have time for, and she let me be a part of the planning in as much as I wanted to be. She is also personal and will be totally involved each step of the way. To top it all off, she is a pleasure to work with. She is the BEST! You cannot go wrong with Gabrielle and Stone Event Planning.

Gabrielle made wedding planning completely stress free. She is knowledgeable, competent, and a delight to work with. Her vendor recommendations were excellent. She took care of every detail, from setting up appointments to preparing schedule...
s and expediting deliveries. If something had to be redone, she saw to it and made the pick ups herself. A budget was established and she managed to keep within that budget. Gabrielle and a staff were with us on the wedding day, not only at the venue but during preparation at the hotel. They supervised the wedding rehearsal, helped plan the rehearsal dinner, and monitored the guest transportation to and from the wedding venue. I found Gabrielle a very pleasant and easy personality to work with. She went on vendor appointments with us and offered her advice or made suggestions at appropriate times only, often helping us with a difficult decision. If one can afford the luxury of a wedding planner, I definitely recommend using Gabrielle Stone of Stone Event Planning.

“A wedding at a camp? Aren’t you nervous?” my friends would ask. I said, quite honestly, “ No…because I have Gabrielle.” When our daughter and future son-in-law chose a camp in the Berkshires, MA as their venue for a 2-3 day wedding weekend,...
the best decision that I made was to suggest hiring a wedding planner, someone who could help us navigate what felt like a more challenging and complicated wedding. I count my lucky stars for having been referred to Gabrielle Stone of www.stoneeventplanning.com as she turned out to be a great facilitator, mediator, and (gentle) task master when we all needed to turn in work that were reaching its deadlines. Mothers of the bride, Gabrielle is worth her weight in gold!! While I pride myself on being a very detailed person, Gabrielle was even more detailed and kept us to our timelines. We had 178 guests at our wedding and celebratory reception, and I did not find myself worrying about anything over the weekend as I knew that most everything would be well taken care of by Gabrielle and her able assistants. Therefore, after my daughter and now son-in-law and the bridal party walked into the camp’s dining hall after an afternoon of fun camp activities followed by the wedding ceremony, we saw that it got totally transformed into a lovely dinner setting that was elegant though still in keeping with the casualness of the weekend. Stone Event Planning saw to it that all the tables were arranged in the way we asked for and that there was enough dance floor for our guests to dance all night long, which they did. Gabrielle took care of all the vendors’ schedules that weekend and took charge when a change of plans came up unexpectantly three days before the wedding. Gabrielle is not only a total professional, but also a lovely and easy person to work with. She was 100% reliable, responsible, competent, and creative. She made wonderful referrals to a number of vendors whom we all enjoyed working with. You (in one of the biggest days of your life) will be in excellent hands with Gabrielle! Instead of thinking back at all the tasks that had to be done, which were many, I will always look back at our family camp wedding with joyous memories of all the fun and social connections that our two families and guests enjoyed over the course of a full weekend, thanks to all the work that Gabrielle and her team provided for us.

what I can only imagine are the hundreds of details she handled that I will never know about, Gabrielle's attention to detail and calm demeanor made my wedding an event I could truly enjoy without worry about any details. I didn't need to worry about things running smoothly, Gabrielle and her staff had it all under control. She knew to ask me about elements I hadn't thought of, she gently pushed me when I needed to meet deadlines and was incredibly flexible when my crazy schedule required postponments and rescheduling of meetings. Gabrielle was the helping hand I needed and I wanted somene detail-oriented who would solve problems without my input and would be able to judge when to involve me. She knows the market and the vendors who would work for me. My guests still comment how amazing she and her staff were the entire time. As someone who is gluten-free I abandoned the idea of eating cake at my wedding, but Gabrielle did not, she found an amazing pastry chef who made a delicious cake everyone enjoyed. This is one small example of how she worked to make sure I enjoyed my wedding as much as my guests. I highly recommend working with Gabrielle would tell anyone they could trust her with their wedding. I felt as though I was her only client and that my wedding was the most important one. Stone Event Planning was terrifc!

Our wedding is not for another 221 days (but who's counting) and Gabrielle Stone has been invaluable! We are planning a pretty lavish affair with layers of details and vendors I had no idea I even needed to think about (separate linen company ...
anyone?). My mom wants to be very involved but gets stressed easily, and I have no sense of timing or what's involved in getting things actually done well. Gabrielle offers up decisions on a silver platter and then off she goes to make them reality. She is extremely professional, keeping us squarely on task and seems to have great relationships with a number of vendors around Boston and New York and is always happy to make new contacts if you have an idea of someone else you would like to work with. I will definitely post again once we have our glorious day made effortless, stunning and fun by Gabrielle Stone, and of course my excellent choice of groom.

Gabrielle Stone saved us. My husband and I had a very general sense of what we wanted our wedding to be luck but we had neither the time nor the imagination to turn that sense into a reality. We found Gabrielle, who listened so carefully to...
us two fairly clueless guys who nonetheless had strong opinions, and with a lot of patient advice offered no matter what hour of the day we needed it, created a wedding that guests told us was one of the best weddings they've ever been to. (I know, they have to say that, but with Gabrielle helping us I think it may be true.) Gabrielle has exquisite taste, great common sense, patience, perseverance, sensitivity, friendliness, competence, and apparently the ability to predict the future (Everything she predicted would happen actually happened.) She had everything under control: From the flowers ("You know, boys, you can't not have flowers. Here are some ideas.") to the band, to the look of the room ("Don't worry, I can make that ugly orange carpet at the Intercontinental disappear.) And she ran interference with our venue (the Intercontinental Boston), which had great food but bad ideas. Ben and I couldn't recommend her more strongly. Gabrielle Stone and Stone Event Planning are amazing.
