I’ll admit—I was initially hesitant to hire a wedding coordinator. As an event planner myself, I thought I could handle it all. But after talking with friends, I realized the last ...thing I wanted was to be in “event mode” on my wedding day when the inevitable happens—someone forgets a bouquet, the groom is hard to reach, or you suddenly realize you’re starving.
Hiring April Gladieux was one of the best decisions we made. From start to finish, she made the day flow seamlessly and handled every detail with calm professionalism. Having both her and her team member there was such a game-changer—you really do need two people on the day-of. One of my favorite parts was having an attendant who made sure we always had food, drinks, and time to breathe—it made the whole day feel easy and joyful.
April also has an incredible vendor list. Our DJ and photographer were outstanding, and it was clear she has strong, trusting relationships in the industry. On top of that, she was tactful and kind when navigating those inevitable wedding-day complications (and guests), handling everything with grace so I never had to worry.
My husband and I are an international couple and had two weddings, one with April and one without a coordinator. Both were beautiful and meaningful in their own ways. But the difference was clear: with April, we didn’t have to think twice about logistics, and we felt completely cared for every step of the way.
She truly went above and beyond, and we’re so grateful for her. If you’re considering hiring a coordinator, I wholeheartedly recommend April and her team. They’ll make your day stress-free, seamless, and full of joy.
