If you are going to use a wedding planner or a wedding coordinator for the day of, I couldn't recommend The Wedding Connection enough. Gabrielle is not only incredibly responsive, 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 the 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.

The Wedding Connection (TWC) – A Dream Team of Wedding Magic
Hiring The Wedding Connection for event management (their elevated approach to “day-of coordination”) was one of the best 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.

You NEED Gab and The Wedding Connection! I don’t even think words can truly convey how thankful we are for her. The second we got engaged; the anxiety hit. How were we going to pull 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.

Gab and her team are absolutely must haves for your wedding. Every step of the way she was there to not only listen to our vision but she knew exactly how to make it come to life. 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.

Choosing Gabrielle was, without a doubt, the best decision we made during the entire wedding planning journey! I am beyond grateful for her and her incredible team. At first, the idea 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!
