The Wedding Connection

confidant, guide, sounding board, and advocate. She listened to every idea (and every worry), offered thoughtful advice, and somehow made even the most complicated logistics feel effortless. Our venue required all brought-in vendors, which made planning incredibly complex. Gab managed multiple teams, timelines, and moving parts with calm precision and total professionalism. Gab, Ashley, and Alyssa were everywhere they needed to be. They anticipated needs, were troubleshooting in real time, and kept the day running flawlessly so that my husband and I could simply enjoy it. Even after the wedding, when a discrepancy came up with another vendor, Gab didn’t hesitate to step in. She coordinated all the conversations, advocated for us directly, and made sure everything was handled fairly. That kind of dedication and care is rare, and it meant the world to us. If you’re considering The Wedding Connection, stop searching and just book them. Gab and her team were the heart of our day and truly the most valuable investment we made. I can’t imagine our wedding without them.

ealized I had forgotten to order the late night food, Gab took care of it. She connected us with amazing vendors like Flowers by Brian and MJ Event Signage, and she worked seamlessly with those we already had signed with. Would absolutely recommend Gab and Ashley and Paige to anyone looking to make their special day a success!

a self) and I honestly cannot say anything- I know something went wrong but Gab and her team handled it without me even knowing. We have a very difficult wedding party to organize and it was organized with ease. Gab was there from day one to be my emotional rock and talk me off the ledge. I am so happy to be married to my husband but so upset I don’t get to talk to Gab weekly about the wedding. I played a 200 person wedding with multiple details without much internal support. Gab really stepped in and helped fill that void. Gab and I are closer on a level I didn’t expect due to she somehow got me in my dress the morning of the wedding when we weren’t sure it was going to close. Words cannot express how thankful I am for the bond I know have and for her being more than a coordinator but someone who made my wedding day come true physically and emotionally! I want to have another wedding to the same husband just to work with Gab and her team again. 🤍

I needed a planner. (Big mistake!) At first, I worked with a catering company that promised an “all-inclusive” package, but it turned out to be a disaster. I was left scrambling and feeling completely overwhelmed, so I reached out to Gab in a complete panic. I sent her the contract and, within minutes, she jumped in and started picking up the pieces that I had no idea how to fix. One thing she said about the contract we were dealing with really stuck with me: “It's like reading a contract in a different language.” When you don’t have experience as a wedding planner, it's so easy to overlook things that could cause huge problems later. Gab’s expertise meant that we avoided all of those pitfalls and ended up with a day that felt seamless. I had hired a day-of team, but they simply wouldn’t have been able to handle the level of coordination and problem-solving Gab brought to the table. Gab didn’t just "manage" the day; she was the calm in the storm that I didn’t know I needed. A big lesson for me was realizing the true value of working with a planner who has relationships with trusted vendors. I had initially thought I was being cost-conscious by choosing the cheapest options, but Gab helped me understand that sometimes, you really do get what you pay for. The days leading up to the wedding, Gab was in constant communication with the catering team, and all my vendors coordinating delivery times, which was a huge relief for me because I couldn’t imagine worrying about those details myself. On the wedding day itself, Gab and her team executed everything flawlessly. I felt like I could relax and enjoy the day because I knew that she had everything under control. Our guests keep raving about how smoothly everything went, and I have Gab to thank for that. She not only got the job done, but she did it with such grace, always taking time to support me individually and make me feel special. As an anxious bride, that constant reassurance and communication was PRICELESS. If you're on the fence about whether or not you need a planner, think about how you want to feel on your wedding day. Do you want to be stressed and running around, or do you want to show up knowing everything has been taken care of? Gab’s work alleviates that stress in a way I never could have imagined. The only thing I would have changed is bringing Gab on board SOONER! Thank you, Gab, for turning what could have been a chaotic situation into a dream wedding. You’re worth every penny, and I’m so grateful for you!

need a coordinator” and I’ve never looked back since hiring Gab and her team. She thought of all the little things that I would have NEVER thought of and never crossed my mind. She put together the most amazing day of packet that had every single thing- load in times, schedule, shot list, and organized all of the communication between all vendors when to be honest a bride doesn’t have the time to do all of that the week or day of the wedding. Hiring a coordinator does not mean you aren’t capable of planning or that you aren’t organized, it’s about having someone whose sole job is to make sure things go smoothly, to think of things you wouldn’t think of, to worry about things that the bride and families of shouldn’t have to worry about and with the wedding connection, you also get a close friend. I had a call with gab the day after the wedding to find out things that went wrong that Gab fixed SO QUICKLY that I never even knew something was wrong. Things will go wrong at your wedding but hiring the wedding connection means it won’t ever be big enough to impact your day. ALSO AMAZING COST!!! They OUT DID themselves and are worth SO MUCH. They are more reasonable than any other coordinators out there and do 10x more than what they are “required” to do. You shouldn’t even question hiring Gab!!! She also had her team of Hayley and Catherine and I’ve never felt more comfortable with women that I just met. All three of them were so professional, helped with family drama, kept me calm when I lost something very important and just helped keep the energy high. I seriously don’t know what I would’ve done without them all.

call, and having Ashley and Paige on board once the planning process started only added to that. My husband and I are not type A individuals, and we massively benefited from the structure that the Wedding Connection team provided. They helped us dream up a wedding day beyond our imagination, and we would not have made it to the wedding day without them. They managed so much that we had little stress throughout the wedding planning process. Best of all, the day of the wedding, Ashley and Paige brought such calm energy and handled every little issue that popped up throughout the day -- my dress strap broke and Paige hand-sewed it back on, and I later heard of minor little hiccups that were managed so swiftly that I had no idea they were happening on day of the wedding. We even had guests of the wedding comment on Ashley and Paige's efficiency and ability to keep things organized, making the day noticeably smooth to our guests! I've had many friends use wedding planners only to be disappointed on the wedding day, and in our circumstance, that couldn't be further from reality. We love this team! They made magic happen and were an invaluable part of our day.

Gab knows everything and everyone it seems in the industry and throughout the entire process she got us the best of everything we could have asked for! She was so great at helping us get the venue of our dreams and she helped us get every detail perfect, even the very many details we did not even think of ourselves. There is so much involved in preparing for the big day but Gab was able to make everything seem less like a chore and more like an exciting part of our wedding journey. Gab is so well organized, prompt, and willing to go above and beyond to help you get your big day perfect. She was so great at making me and my husband feel special and heard throughout the process, and she really did feel more like a friend than a planner towards the end. Throughout the time leading up to the wedding and especially on the big day itself she was so on top of everything and had a solution for every single thing that may have come our way. What made Gab and her team stand out so much was how comfortable, even on the big day while I was a wreck, she made me feel when I would go to her with the many questions I had leading up to the ceremony. At every single step in the process I felt like I could call Gab with any dumb questions or ideas I had and she was ready and willing to genuinely listen and help. Can’t say enough about Gab and her fabulous team and I can’t recommend them enough. There is absolutely nobody else I would have trusted with this special moment in my life.

. The minute Gab came on board she was fixing my timeline issues, recommending vendors and handling coordination across multiple events all while putting me at ease and making me feel comfortable coming to her with anything. From the second Gab arrived at my church rehearsal, she eased any worry or anxiety I had. Though by the time of my wedding, I was anxiety free because the team had helped me think through every little detail for the ceremony ahead of time, counseled me on details as small as our reception entrance and meticulously put together a weekend packet of information to keep everyone on track. On the day of my wedding the team coordinated every aspect of the many moving parts seamlessly. Any little thing I needed or could think of, the girls had or had already handled. At one point I asked for deodorant and mouthwash during my reception and the girls produced both instantly! They bustled my HUGE dress quickly, took it back to the bridal suite and left our meals from the venue in our fridge - what amazing service is that!! I cannot recommend hiring TWC enough. Save yourself future stress and headache and hire the best team in the NYC area.

on FaceTime during the brides bachelorette. I knew right then and there she was more than just someone who helped with the planning and day of organization and flow, but someone who became a friend. So why is the sister leaving a review? Gab left an impact on me for many reasons, but one of the biggest is her help with my kids. Yes, the wedding planner does everything! I have 3 small children who were part of the wedding, and knew they would not last during the remainder of the wedding. I’m not from the Long Island area and Gab found me a babysitting service, she even arraigned the entire thing! Her team even helped before the babysitter arrived, right before the wedding began I knew one of my kids would not be able to walk down the aisle, and Gab and her team took care of him while I was able to enjoy the wedding. Gab and her team made me feel so comfortable in so many ways. My brother and his wife are so lucky they found her, and I truly wish I had her at my own wedding.

dea of planning a wedding felt overwhelming—I worried I wouldn’t know where to start or how to keep everything on track. But from day one, Gab was by our side, making the entire process seamless and stress-free. She handled every deadline, mapped out our planning schedule, and introduced us to the most amazing vendors (seriously, she has the best connections)!! Then, the day before our wedding, unexpected weather forced us to rethink our entire setup—but Gab worked her magic, ensuring that our vision not only stayed intact but turned out even better than we had imagined. Gabrielle is so much more than just a planner; she became my friend, cheerleader, problem-solver, and even an honorary family member. I truly can’t imagine our wedding without her and her phenomenal team! On the big day, Gab, Paige, and Ashley kept everything running smoothly, handled every little hiccup—including saving my dress when it unexpectedly broke—and made sure we soaked in every magical moment. Thanks to them, our wedding was beyond perfect, and I couldn’t be more thankful!

needed help. I WAS DEAD WRONG. You can’t even imagine how many things go wrong the week leading up to the big day. It would’ve been IMPOSSIBLE without this crew!! So if you’re on the fence about a wedding planner— DO IT! That’s first of all. Now let me tell you why TWC is the best in the business. Not only are they super organized, but they cut out all the bulls***. No beating around the bush, no phoniness, Gab knows how to be efficient and get things done. They did everything a wedding planner is supposed to do but it was the way they communicate and how direct they are that me confident we were in the best hands. They put out every fire so we were truly able to ENJOY our special day!!!

est decisions we made for our wedding. From the moment we signed our contract, we weren’t just planning an event—we were stepping into a fully personalized, expertly supported experience. Gabrielle (Gab), Paige, and Ashley make up a team that’s not only knowledgeable but deeply in tune with what truly matters on your wedding day. TWC doesn’t believe in swooping in at the last minute—because, as they rightfully say, no good planner could actually just show up on the “day of.” Instead, they’re there with you from the moment you become a client, helping guide decisions, offering insider resources, and making the entire planning journey feel less overwhelming and a lot more joyful. What sets them apart? It’s their genuine understanding of the wedding industry and how to tailor it to you. Every TWC couple receives a 39-page custom timeline (yes, really), and every detail is meticulously thought through. But more than that, they take the time to truly get to know you and your partner—what lights you up, what stresses you out, and what your vision really is (even if you can’t quite articulate it yet). The sooner you bring them on board, the more you’ll benefit. Even with our event management package, we felt wrapped in support from day one. It’s not just coordination—it’s care. It’s having a steady, capable team who becomes an extension of your family for the months leading up to your big day. And to anyone wondering, “Do I really need a wedding planner?”—my husband would be the first to tell you: yes. 1000 times yes. He now swears that the wedding wouldn’t have been possible without Gab and her team. And there’s nothing better than sitting on your honeymoon, replaying every perfect moment, while your husband keeps saying, “Hiring The Wedding Connection was the smartest thing we did.” Thank you, Gab, Paige, Ashley—you didn’t just make our wedding happen, you made it better than we could have dreamed.

er to make her own decisions for her own wedding (along with her fiancée). Gab helped with many of those decisions, using her expertise with over 60 weddings. The event turned out better than anyone imagined. It was elegant, spectacular, fun, gorgeous and more. I didn't know about any drama or issues until after the wedding. I was able to relax and enjoy the entire day, like a guest at my own daughter's wedding. Gab and her team worked with the vendors and the venue to ensure flawless execution, even though rain forced our huge wedding ceremony indoors. With 21 vendors to corral, plus event staff and those vendors' employees, along with family complexities, she worked magic and delivered! She made it seem easy, by design, to shield us from any stress. I truly love Gabrielle and her amazing style.

l off planning a wedding? A couple months later, we spoke to Gab and immediately that anxiety disappeared. We didn’t even need to speak to anyone else: we knew Gab was the one for the job. She cares so much about her clients and will go above and beyond to make sure they are happy and everything is perfect. Her communication is top notch; she was always there when we needed her. From figuring out our vision, to booking our amazing vendors, ensuring the wedding day ran smoothly, and everything in between, she was by our side, guiding us every step of the way. Some may question if hiring a wedding planner and coordinator for your wedding is worth it, but when you’re hiring The Wedding Connection, it 100000% is. Gab planned and coordinated the most incredible day, and we truly believe there would have been no wedding day without her.

onestly a bit nervous about how everything would come together. However, Gab exceeded every expectation I had. From the very beginning, she was attentive, patient, and truly listened to my vision. She made sure that every single element was in place and perfectly aligned with what I had imagined. Gab's organizational skills are impeccable, and her ability to keep everything running smoothly on the day of the wedding was a true lifesaver. Her attention to detail was outstanding, from the décor to the timing of every event. I never had to worry about a thing because I knew Gab had it all covered. What I loved most was how she made me feel like my ideas and dreams were truly important to her. Gab worked tirelessly to bring everything to life with such grace and professionalism. My wedding day was everything I had hoped for and more, thanks to her. I couldn't have asked for a better planner to guide me through this special journey. Thank you, Gab, for making my dream wedding a reality!

nd organize. The second Gabrielle entered the picture I felt a sense of ease and actually started to enjoy the engagement period. She handled everything down to the smallest detail and executed them perfectly. Even though I am extremely organized, there is no way I would have been able to pull everything off seamlessly and enjoy my big day. She also came up with really great ideas, like having a sketch artist! Gabrielle was very communicative, available day or night, seven days a week. She was so professional and attentive to the smallest detail. I think it is rare for people to say they enjoyed the whole planning process, but Gabrielle made everything so easy and enjoyable, I was sad when it was over. Gabrielle exceeded my expectations and brought my wedding vision to life. I seriously cannot recommend her and her team enough!

ht, and Gabrielle and her team made sure that was possible. From day one the TWC team was on top of vendor coordination and timeline, to ensure everyone (me, my husband and my picky parents) were happy with the schedule and flow of the day. Gab provided unparalleled guidance as we navigated planning the first wedding of the family. TWC was available via phone or text at all times leading up to the wedding, answering questions and giving us important reminders as the day approached. For the day of, Gab brought on additional coordinators to make sure things ran smoothly. The team went above and beyond handling our last minute requests, soothing nerves, and doing those pesky tasks like bustling the dress and fixing my post-veil hair! If there were any issues during the night, I was not aware, because the TWC team handled everything discreetly and efficiently. They allowed not only me and my husband but also my family to be fully present and enjoy the special day! I cannot recommend Gab and her team enough; I only wish we could do it all again!

ing and we had very little signed up and booked by that point. We came across Gab by chance through a florist we found independently and what a blessing that was. Our first conversation was such a relief – she clearly knew her stuff and more than anything, she had the best attitude towards what we all anticipated would be a grueling 2 months. A couple days later I remember we had a long text conversation just getting to know each other and I knew I was in good hands. Gab is the kind of person who learns and understands her clients. She gets to know what your likes and dislikes are and takes a lot of pride in her work. It’s that kind of approach and attitude that shined and helped us through the remainder of the wedding planning process. And we had fun doing it – we had group messages where we’d share ideas and also just chat all day. Gab worked around the clock, reaching out to countless vendors for us and connecting us with her very best people, helping us design every last detail, and reassuring us that we were in good hands and everything would be okay. I also can’t over emphasize just how much work it was – she basically planned an entire wedding within two months and we’re continuing to get amazing reviews from our friends and family saying it was the best wedding they’ve ever attended. On the day of as well, she and her team (thank you Paige and Ashley!) were all over everything. Our venue had tight guidelines and as part of that there was extremely little time for set up and break down – but they got it done and did it beautifully. The Wedding Connection team was balancing helping the wedding party with steaming, photos, making sure we were hydrated and happy, while sprinting through set up downstairs. To this day I still don’t know how they did it. They’re a fantastic group of extremely talented and driven women and they’re also the kind of people you will not want to let go of once your wedding is over!

y pulled everything together. She is very accessible, was happy to answer our million questions, works with outstanding vendors, and is 100% honest and ethical. She took care of absolutely everything and ran the day of the wedding flawlessly with her outstanding and caring team. The highest compliment I can pay is that we all could just relax and enjoy a truly magical event.

nt we started working with them, their professionalism and thoughtfulness were evident which made the entire process so much smoother and stress-free. Their attention to detail is truly unmatched. Whether it was ensuring that our decor & details were displayed perfectly or double-checking the smallest elements of the timeline, Gabrielle and Paige made sure every single detail was accounted for. They consistently went above and beyond to make sure that nothing was overlooked. What really stood out to us was their attentiveness. They were always available to answer our questions, calm our nerves, and respond to last-minute requests. On the wedding day, they were everywhere—managing vendors, handling unexpected changes, and making sure we could fully enjoy our celebration without worrying about a thing. Their seamless coordination, calm demeanor, and creative problem-solving were beyond impressive. Gabrielle and Paige truly made us feel like our wedding was as important to them as it was to us, and that level of care is incredibly rare. They made the day feel effortless, and everything turned out perfectly because of their dedication and hard work. I will be able to thank them enough nor forget all they did to ensure we had the best day. We highly recommend The Wedding Connection, and if you have the chance to work with Gabrielle and Paige, you are in the best hands possible. Their passion for their work shines through in everything they do, and we are beyond grateful for the role they played in making our day unforgettable.

she is on top of everything to make sure she assigns the right person for you on your day. I needed a wedding coordinator just to help me during my big day and Paige from the TWC team was INCREDIBLE. My guests the next day were raving about how on top of every single detail she was, going above and beyond was she was contracted to do the day of. She coordinated everything throughout the day, from managing everyone at my church, delegating everyone's to do's from our musical director to our flowerboy, setting up the venue with flower arrangements, candles and all decor + helping during photo session with our photographer. Paige managed not only my expectations but went above and beyond during my day. My husband was opposed to getting a planner at all, and the day of he was really happy we both had Paige to lean on. They are truly the best team out there and I feel very lucky to have found them. Five stars doesn't measure how emotionally supportive this team is. Best decision we made.

was so worth it. Even though we didn’t hire them for full planning, they were available to help me with any questions along the way and recommend vendors. Two months before the wedding is when they really started contacting vendors and building the timeline. I truly couldn’t imagine having to do all that stuff on top of the rest of the planning stress. They were SO good and on top of everything the whole time. The day of the wedding, they were better than I ever could’ve imagined. They made sure everything was perfect and the day went smooth. They calmed every anxiety I had and did the same for my mom. It honestly feels like they’re your best friends for the day lol. I’m so thankful we had them by our side on our wedding day 🤍

brielle and her team are with you!

Every detail was spectacular and exactly what we wanted. Everyone was always professional, fun and easy to work with. We couldn’t have asked for anybody better and we would recommend you 💯%! You are truly the best! And thank you for sharing our very special day with us! You made our dream come true!

side from my now husband, Gab and Jess were the best decision I could have ever made when it came to planning our wedding. We were going back and forth about whether or not we needed any coordination and I am SO GLAD we chose to do so and even happier we chose TWC. This team was so on top of everything from the moment we booked with them. They really took the time to get to know us and treated myself, my husband and our families like family themselves. Both Gab and Jess are so caring, loving and amicable. They made it clear if I had any questions throughout the process to ask, and I did, and they were always quick to respond. As we got closer to the wedding, they both would consistently send me check lists of things I should be doing and let me know what they can take off of my plate. I really did not have to do much of anything other than send them my inspiration for them to bring to life. In a time that is very stressful for most, I seemed to be the least bit stressed. The only thing I needed to worry about was marrying the love of my life. The TWC team made sure the day ran as smooth as possible; if there were any hiccups I had absolutely zero idea. I left a payment for one of the vendors in our hotel room, and without hesitation they not only went back to the hotel and grabbed the envelope, but cleaned our room so it wasn’t a disaster to come back to given myself and the bridesmaids got ready there. All night they were checking in on us and our families making sure everyone was fed, happy, had a drink, or needed anything at all. And to top it all off, Gab and Jess got INCREDIBLE content of the day of and now I have all of these videos and pictures to look at despite our photos not being ready for weeks. If you need a dream team for your wedding day or any event at all, LOOK NO FURTHER!!!!!

day of coordinator through their instagram contest and was immediately welcomed by Gab. I met with Gab a few times over the phone in the beginning to catch her up about my wedding plans and about 3 months prior to my wedding she introduced me to Jess and Jackie, who would be my 2 day of coordinators. After that, I had a groupchat with the 3 of them that we would text almost daily, we also would facetime to go over all the details and they created a detailed timeline for my day. They also reached out to all my vendors on my behalf the week of the wedding to make sure everything was confirmed and in place. When there was a delay with my signage the week of the wedding, Gab volunteered to pick it up for me and bring it to my venue because I didn’t have the time to. Jess and Jackie are complete angels and were life savers on the day of my wedding. For reference, I am a type A bride, planned everything out, am extremely organized and didn’t think I would need a day of coordinator, but was lucky enough to win them because let me tell you… YOU NEED ONE. Jess and Jackie showed up for my day while we were getting ready at the hotel and immediately took control of everything. You don’t realize how many silly things will happen the day of that you don’t account for or don’t realize will take time and attention. For example, when all 8 groomsmen, plus 2 dads and the Groom were tasked with folding their pocket squares, Jess and Jackie were there to do it (which also included cutting a napkin to make a makeshift pocket square because one was forgotten). They took control of being the liaison with all my vendors that day, like making sure the photographers got every shot on my photo shot list and knew all the important family members by name and made sure our bridal party was always ready and in the right place at the right time. They were basically my bodyguard throughout my wedding and made sure we were running on time and that everything I had told them in advance that I wanted to do, was getting done and that everything was in the right place. There were seriously so many moments that I said to myself that day, “Thank god I have Jess and Jackie.” I would have been so much more stressed and overwhelmed that day if I didn’t have them and I can’t thank them enough for putting their heart and souls into my wedding day.

Gab consistently advocated for me, providing insights and information that I wouldn't have known without her expertise. As someone who is very anxious, having Gab by my side, answering all my texts, and calling me daily with updates was a breath of fresh air that helped calm my nerves immensely. On the wedding day, Gab and her team truly outdid themselves. Words cannot fully capture how phenomenal they were. We had a packed timeline with multiple locations, yet Gab & team handled everything like a well-oiled machine. We were on time TO THE MINUTE for every event, from the first look to the ceremony and the reception. I never had to worry about the clock once. I never had to worry about speaking to a vendor, and I she made sure I was set up for success. I was able to be present and enjoy my day we had planned for so long! That is something so special. The day went off without a hitch, and I know it would not have been possible without Gab's meticulous planning and execution. By choosing Gab, you’re not just gaining an incredible day-of coordinator and a perfect wedding; you're also gaining a friend who genuinely cares so much & is there for you at all times. Gab and her team are an absolute joy to work with and genuinely care about making your day the best night of your life. Our guests are still talking to us about how great our wedding was and how everything ran so smooth - and this is all because of TWC! Thank you for everything. You made our wedding day unforgettable!

made the best first impression from the very beginning. I immediately connected with her, and knew that she understood me and my vision. I ended up picking Gab to be my wedding planner and it was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding! I got married at Westbury Manor on Long Island. My husband was born and raised on Long Island. I was originally from Vancouver, Canada and moved to Los Angeles. I had no connections to Long Island, and had no idea where to start when it came to planning an out of state wedding and had no clue on what vendors to choose. That is where Gab entered and took over! Gab picked the most amazing vendors for me, from the photographer to the live band to the videographer to the florals. She picked the most incredible vendors that brought my vision to life. As I was having an out of state wedding and the reality that all of my wedding guests would be traveling out of state and in some cases even out of the country, Gab took care of it all from handling the wedding block to the Airbnb recommendations! Gab made sure that all of my guests arrived safely and were comfortable for the duration of their stay. She also ensured that I secured a location for my Welcome Dinner/Rehearsal Dinner and that my guests left fed and happy at our Going Away Breakfast the morning after the wedding. Our guests could not stop talking about how amazing the wedding and overall wedding weekend was! Gab thought of every detail big and small! The small, special details are so important to me as I truly believe that’s what makes a wedding and she made sure to deliver. She brought things up that I didn’t even think of or contemplate. Gab was integral to making my wedding day not only beautiful but making sure it was seamless! Not only was Gab my wedding planner, but we also developed a close friendship and still stay in touch to this day. Your wedding day may only last one day but your relationship with Gab will last much longer than that. She genuinely cares for you and will stop at no length to bring your vision to life. If you are looking for a wedding planner not only for your special day but to have a lifelong genuine connection, Gab is the one for you. I could not have had the wedding day I had without Gab. Period! Hire Gab, you won’t regret it and it will be the best decision you make for your wedding day!

to make sure our day was perfect. I knew I wanted everything on the day of to run as smoothly as possible and to just be able to enjoy the day and not have to worry if everything is going exactly how I envisioned. Gabrielle and her team did just that for me. It really helped alleviate stress before the wedding. She helped get my timeline for the day perfect and worked with all my vendors to do that. I was happy to have Gabrielle there and know that any potential issues were handled behind the scenes without us even realizing it.

day itself, they went above and beyond to make everything perfect. First and foremost, their attention to detail was impeccable. They thought of every little thing, from coordinating with vendors to making sure the timeline flowed seamlessly. It took the stress off our shoulders, allowing us to truly enjoy the day. Communication was key, and our coordinator nailed it. They were always available to answer questions, provide updates, and offer guidance. Their friendly and approachable demeanor made the entire process feel like a collaboration, and they genuinely cared about making our wedding vision come to life. On the day of the wedding, their organization and efficiency were impressive. Everything ran like clockwork, and any potential issues were handled behind the scenes without us even realizing it. It allowed us to soak in every moment without worrying about the logistics. What sets The Wedding Connection apart is their passion for what they do. It's clear that they love creating memorable experiences for couples, and that enthusiasm translated into a wedding day that exceeded our expectations. In short, if you're looking for a wedding coordinator who is not only highly skilled but also genuinely cares about making your day special, look no further. I wholeheartedly recommend The Wedding Connection to anyone planning their big day—you won't be disappointed! Some examples that come to mind: 1.) I asked Gab for a recommendation for a transportation vendor and she took it even further and reached out to get me a contract in a day. This left me with one less headache. 2.) Covid/Flu was a factor during this time, one of the girls helping Gab was unable to come due to getting sick. In a minute, Gab had someone else ready to help the day of! (AMAZING)

goes on…. Performance is all that really matters!! From the beginning Gabby, Jessica and Nicole had a vision for Maggie and Tyler. They had their playbook and stuck to their plan with succinct leadership and took positive action. The momentum provided by this team toward the bigger picture clearly begins at the top through the leadership of Gabby and the collaborative work ethic among her colleagues. We were “Wowed” from start to finish with the attention to detail, the constant care toward the bride and groom and their respective families. We highly recommend this trio for all of your future party planning needs.

not say enough good things about them. From day one she listened to my vision and helped me bring it to life. Gab coordinated all of the vendors to assure the timeline was set in stone and I didn’t even have to bat an eye. Jess assured that my reception hall was everything that I wanted and more. Jacklyn stood by my side assuring I had everything I needed at all times. Gab puts her clients first and that is something that does not go unnoticed. We could not be more grateful for her and her team. If you want to do something right for your wedding - book the wedding connection. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

tie, Gab is your person! From day one of planning, she's been by my side, navigating budget negotiations, finding the best vendors, ensuring I had a comprehensive checklist of everything that needed to be done with due dates to keep us on track. This helped us be in the best position a few weeks before the wedding, as time goes by so fast, through the whole process she embraced and focused on every detail of my dream wedding. As a Type A personality, which I discovered I was for sure during this process and struggled to navigate at times, Gab made sure I knew I could trust her and lean on her when needed. I was never afraid to ask questions, never hesitant to speak up when I didn’t like something; she always made sure I knew that I could express how I felt to ensure the planning process went perfectly. She was the voice on the other end of the line at all hours, offering unwavering support through every stress, panic attack, and confusion during any point of the planning process. She came to as many appts as she could, she even spent her birthday coming to my final floral and decor appt. No one prepares you for how many details and to-dos there are when planning a wedding. At one point, I said I was going to plan it all myself, and I am so glad I didn’t try to do that because I would’ve missed so many important things. I am just so glad I found Gab! She is SUPERWOMAN. On the big day, Gab, along with Jess and Jacqueline, somehow came through and put together the most magical night. Dealing with 230 guests seamlessly, handing out the tips I pre-packaged for vendors, setting up flawlessly, and making sure every detail I wanted was perfect, they handled unexpected band issues with patience. From fixing my hair before the reception to ensuring I stayed hydrated, Gab's attention to detail and making sure everyone was calm and staying excited went above and beyond. But beyond the logistics, what truly sets Gab apart is her patience, kindness, and understanding from day one. Gab isn't just a wedding planner; she's a friend for life. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone and everyone. I could write a book about how thankful I am for Gab & her team but I will end this by saying, if you’re thinking about hiring The wedding connection for your wedding, DO IT! You will have ZERO regrets ♥️

have fixed my veil 10000x, moved the ceremony arch back and forth for me, printed my welcome speech, coordinated with all of the vendors, guided the photographers on details to look out for and many more. My day was seamless because of them and I really got to enjoy my own wedding day. One of the feedback I’ve received from brides is that they’re not present at their own wedding because there are so much to coordinate and people turn to you for answers. Gabrielle and Jess did all of the worrying for me so that I don’t have to. Guests have also came up to me to ask for her contact information. They also recognize the amazing work that they do. Needless to say, having them on your special day is absolutely crucial. I will forever appreciate their hard work ❤️

nt out of her way to make sure our day was perfect. She had our back throughout the entire process and protected us from any potential issues that arose with vendors that we had booked before hiring her. She was always available to us and we looked forward to every call with her. We appreciated her calm demeanor leading up to the big day and were impressed by her ability to effectively communicate any last second changes/requests to our venue and vendors. On the day of our wedding she and her team quickly adapted when the weather necessitated some changes in our schedule and she competently handled a complex load in with our band across two separate event spaces. She was so much fun to work with and we cannot recommend her more.

d Gabrielle to help plan our wedding, she continued checking in with my husband and me before the wedding, congratulating us, and asking for pictures. That really stood out that she cares for her clients.

BLE - she really got to know me, my fiancé and my mom to understand our vision and what we wanted for our big day. She just got it! She made it feel like I was planning my wedding with a friend! She was very easy to communicate with, was always available, and was dedicated to us in a way that I don’t think you can find with other planners. 2) DILIGENT & HARD WORKING - She combed through every detail for the day and was on top of any hiccups that came up, allowing me to stay calm. For example, there was an issue with our band signing a contract with our venue, and she immediately contacted colleagues for insight, got a backup band just in case things fell through, AND quickly resolved the issue in a day, meaning we were able to keep our favorite band! It was reassuring that if anything didn’t go as planned, she would take care of it and have a backup plan just in case. She also advocated to lower prices we were quoted. For example, she helped us find the stage we wanted at a discount by going directly to the vendor (vs getting it through the band). 3) GREAT TASTE - My style was simple, classy, and not ‘over-the-top’ and Gabby completely understood. She made sure all vendors understood our vision and handled majority of the design. 4) GREAT LISTENER - She listened to our opinions and what we wanted and, when asked, also helped us make decisions by giving her perspective and insight from working in the industry. Instead of being a cookie cutter wedding, she made it feel personalized and incorporated our requests! 5) COMPREHENSIVE - Gab went above and beyond with every single detail. She helped us come up with unique experiences for our guests and took care of stressful tasks! - My fiancé is British and she located a British phone booth for After The Tone and the Brits thought it was real! - She also helped us find an illustrator who drew portraits of our guests as a souvenir, which was truly a unique experience! - She helped us find a local babysitter for a guest with a newborn (incredible!) - She gave me great suggestions for hotels for our mini moon in the Hamptons/Shelter Island - She helped find a tailor when my first tailor didn’t do a good job. Couldn’t be happier with the outcome and Gab even picked up my dress for me when it was done! - Gab came to our welcome party to pick up items for the wedding (saving me a drive to our venue) and went through the rehearsal with our bridal party. Thanks to Gab and her team, we had a seamless and incredible wedding day! On the day, I didn’t have to think about any of the details, she took care of everything. You will not regret working with Gab and her team! Thanks Gab for everything ❤️

ws this business inside and out to recommend the best crew. Our daughters wedding went seamlessly and was so harmonious and elegant . If anyone needs a wedding planner who knows NYC well I cannot recommend her enough. She came up with an illustrator at the wedding to add something unique for our guests and they all loved it. She listened well to the vibe we wanted and took care of details when necessary as well as provided helpful suggestions and connections to make the wedding unforgettable. We will all miss working with Gabby.

our daughter’s destination wedding and Gabrielle worked with us for many months. We could never have put together such a spectacular weekend without her. Not only did she plan and coordinate the wedding day, she also planned the welcome dinner and reception the night before for all the out of town guests. She planned and coordinated a spectacular and incredibly memorable event. Her attention to detail and professional presentation are nothing less than miraculous. The itinerary she created and provided to all our vendors kept everything running smoothly. There was nothing that we had to do or worry about the entire weekend because Gabrielle had everything handled professionally. She is organized, thoughtful, creative and considerate. She was a great listener, and was able to work creatively with challenging situations. She works with a very talented group of vendors including everything from the florist, photographer, videographer, live band, hair, and makeup. Every vendor she chose was completely out of this world and made our day. Can we just say that the live band was amazing! She is incredibly organized and was so thoughtful to coordinate breakfast and lunch on the “day of” when we were getting ready. It is very clear when you work with Gabrielle that she has a passion and a very sincere kindness that radiates in everything she does. We had a number of guests that traveled from out of state as well as out of the country and she went above and beyond to provide them with an amazing “guest” experience. Overall Gabrielle was truly a gift. She created the whole wedding experience for everyone. Not only is she a true professional, she is kind and caring. We cannot recommend Gabrielle enough. By choosing Gabrielle your day will be as unique as you want it to be!

r millions of questions, coming up with the most amazing ideas (donuts instead of cake) and everything in-between, we honestly could not have gotten married without the Wedding Connection Team. I want to get married all over again just so Gab and I can have our daily phone calls. Aside from marrying my husband, The Wedding Connection was the best decision I've made in my life.

her myself, I know how important it is to make sure the day keeps to its schedule and with so many moving parts and components, it can easily become a hectic day. Not only did Gabrielle bring a completely stress free day to our couple, she did for us vendors as well. She checked in with us, made sure we ate (if you’re a vendor, you know how hard it is to find time to eat), any hiccup that came up, Gabrielle was on top of it and beyond that, she did everything with a smile. Working with Gabrielle was amazing. You can see how much she loves her job and how truly amazing she is at it. It’s hard to come across vendors you can trust and mesh well with, but I would book Gabrielle for my own wedding in a heartbeat. I cannot recommend Gabrielle and The Wedding Connection team enough!

ds, she is nothing short of perfection. Gabrielle and I met many years ago when she was a client for my calligraphy business, fast forward to today we have stayed in touch as she has built her successful wedding planning business and now brings me clients for mine as well. Working with Gabrielle is a joy and I get to see first hand how amazing and passionate she is about her job and every wedding she does. She is truly one of kind, going above and beyond to help your wedding vision come to life. I recommend her to every single client, friend, family member and acquaintance I know and I can not recommend her enough!

of 2023 & the planning has been stressful but Gab has helped that so much. I am an anxious person & struggle with decision making so I knew planning a wedding would be tough for me. Without Gab, I wouldn’t have made it this far. Her communication has been incredible. She truly cares for her clients. She took the time to know me and my fiancé as people and not just clients. She has already proven trust & dedication and that means so much to me. This is just a midpoint review because I need everyone to know they should work with her if they need support. Gab continues to make me excited, hopeful & makes sure I stay in line and realistic at the same time! She is patient and just the best!!!

or we spoke with and we immediately clicked, and after interviewing other vendors, returned to Gabrielle and hired her. We’ve remained friends since. She’s very passionate about making her clients happy and you won’t regret hiring her. I’m excited to see her at my friend’s wedding next year after recommending my friend hire her!
