When I first began to plan our wedding I had visions of glitz, glam and classic elegance. I knew I was creative and could handle a lot of the planning myself, but I also knew I would need help pulling everything together, checking my list twice and executing the wedding of my dreams. I also realized that the day of our wedding should be completely stress free for my husband and I and in that final week leading up to our big day the last thing I wanted to do was pull together vendor list, confirmations etc., etc., etc... With that said, I sought out the help of a professional wedding planner who could truly see my vision and help me bring it into reality. I had the chance to meet with a couple other planners in the Buffalo area and for lack of a better word they were boring and quite typical for this town...basically exactly what I wasn't looking for. I needed someone who was just as fabulous as myself and could handle the craziness a wedding can bring in the final month. So when I met Gabby I fell for her immediately! Gabby is such a beautiful person- inside and out! She went above and beyond her role as our month of coordinator. She is professional at ALL times, super personable, organized, punctual, thoughtful and full of AMAZING ideas! She has the connections and referrals you will need to take your wedding to the next level. If you are searching for a wedding planner that's reasonably priced, knowledgeable about all things wedding and an all around fabulous woman to help guide you to the alter...look no further, Gabrielle Pagano is your girl!!! Wedding date: September 20th 2014 Ceremony: Delaware Avenue Baptist Church Reception Venue: The Mansion on Delaware Ave. Guest count: 170

I can not say enough good things about Gabby & Matt at After Five Events. They made my day run so smoothly and everything came out wonderfully. We had day of coordination services, but I felt as I had a full wedding planner all the way through. Gabby checked in with me each month and offered to help how ever she could. She made final calls to all vendors and made sure everyone was on track. She and Matt are highly professional & a joy to work with and honestly I hesitate to even use the word work as it wasn't work at all if that makes sense. My father in law was raving about how well they treated him and how well everything ran. They even successfully tackled a bustle on my dress from h*ll and did so with a smile. They helped coordinate everything from ceremony to our sparkler exit at the end of the night. Thanks to all their hard work I really got to enjoy our wedding day stress free. Thank you Gabby & Matt!!

After 5 Events is the best!!! They helped make the best day of our lives even more special and beautiful than I could have ever imagined. Throughout our whole wedding planning process, Gabby was there to guide us and meet with vendors, consistently checked in with us, and was always there when we needed her to answer questions or offer suggestions. She helped make our vision come to life in a way that I never could have done on my own. Most importantly, I always felt comforted and relaxed knowing that she was there for us.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
I would advise a customer to go with your gut. You will be spending a significant amount of time with your wedding planner and it is important that you understand and trust each other. When you hire After 5 Events we basically become your new best friend! I would also make sure that your wedding planner is licensed and insured by their operating state (NY), and that you have a formal written contract. Lastly, sit back and relax. Your planner is there to make you feel stress free and pampered. Hiring a wedding planner allows you to enjoy every detail of your wedding day and feel like a guest at your own event!
What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?
I wish that customers realized truly how many hours go into planning a wedding. As the owner of a wedding planning boutique I literally work every single day early morning to late at night piecing your perfect day together. This doesn't even include the rehearsal, wedding ceremony, and reception. It is common for me to work 20 hours straight on a clients wedding day. It is what I love though so I am very happy to do it :)
