Double G Events, Planning + Design

without her. She kept us calm, updated and most of all supported. Our wedding day finally came and ... let's just say I cried tears of joy when we walked into our tent. It was beautiful and everything I ever imagined, wanted and more! Maggie and her whole vendor team worked so hard and I am so grateful to have them be a part of our wedding!

d gratitude to your team as well!! They were great! Our day would not have been as perfect as it was if it was not for your team! Thank you so so much again! We plan to continue posting pictures on social media when our album is in and tagging you in it! We also plan to pass your name along to all of our friends/family in need!! We wish you the best of luck and thank you very much again!!

eded. I finally had my perfect day May 29, 2021 and it is really all thanks to this team. If you’re looking for a wedding planner, please do yourself a favor and look no further than Maggie.

a timeline and prioritize what tasks needed to be done when. Then Covid hit, so we decided to hit the pause button. Fast forward to about 5 months before our wedding... guidelines were changing but the uncertainty around them felt unnerving to us. Maggie listened to us and helped us navigate through everything seamlessly. About 3 months before the wedding we finally decided on a plan that felt safe. Our original 140 person 8 hr wedding turned into a weekend long celebration with the 20 people we love most in this world, and it couldn’t have been more “us.” It was, by far, the most beautiful wedding I’ve ever been to in my entire life. I would recommend Maggie hands down, with the utmost sincerity. She brings with her personalization, professionalism, and a team of vendors that are absolutely superb. So wether you’re planning a year out or are altering plans completely due to an unforeseen pandemic, my husband and I couldn’t recommend her more.

ole planning process and what we loved about her most was her out of the box ideas and guidance without being pushy. Our family and friends are still talking about how "authentically us" our wedding was! With three events in one weekend, I'm sure not all went smoothly, but we never heard or knew anything that went wrong, nor did we ever see Maggie or any of her team members break a sweat or look stressed. They always had a smile and were close by with anything we needed. Thank you all so much, it was a weekend to remember because of you and your team! Best investment ever and we would hire and recommend you ten million times!

gined.

my vision come to life, I could not have done it without her! A huge thank you to Maggie and the entire DGE team for helping to give us the perfect dream day!

enjoy it! I was most worried that my mom would not be able to take off her planner hat but she had the best time, did not worry about one thing and that was the most important to me. Thank you so much and we will refer you to everyone we know! :)

appreciated when you pushed back on ideas that you knew wouldn't work out or wouldn't be right for us. You were fun to work with, honest and always felt that you had our backs. Our wedding was the best ever, thanks to you and your team!

bride that was not paying them and that courtesy was just amazing and very professional. If that is how they treat a non-client I bet their services are spectacular. Thank you, Catherine

ou!

ding planning process easier and more manageable in every possible way. Every interaction we had with the team was warm, friendly, and best of all—productive! I appreciated having Maggie to bounce ideas off of and give us a reality check anytime we got too overwhelmed by the process. She and her team were always ready to help us figure out how to bring our ideas to life, but they also weren’t afraid to speak up and make their own recommendations. Our wedding truly would not have been the same without their support, guidance, and commitment to quality customer service. Hiring Maggie and her rockstar team of Amanda, Ashley, and Ashley is by far one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding!

in her abilities. Maggie's relaxed personality and easy going nature makes working with her feel like you are having a great day out with a friend! Her knowledge, vision, attention to detail and extreme organization made the wedding planning process fun and enjoyable. Having her and her team by our side made me confident in every choice we made. She was able to see my vision for our wedding and make it a reality, with no small detail overlooked. Her entire team (especially Ashley!) was amazing and having them by my side for the entire wedding day made me feel calm and comfortable in every situation. Ashley was on top of anything and everything we needed and truly made the day of a dream for us. Maggie and her team are true professionals and experts in their field. Thank you for everything! Love Kim + Reid

edding. I was originally so overwhelmed with the decision making that we hired DoubleG to help out. It ended up feeling like I was planning the wedding with one of my friends. Maggie is so chill you never feel like the planning is a chore or a job. All of her vendor recommendations were amazing. She gave just enough direction so that I didn't feel like her ideas were overpowering, but she let me know what would work best. She also gave me her honest opinion on vendors and which ones would work best with our style and budget. I am still getting messages from people saying that they had never been to a wedding as cool that the one we had and we owe that all to Maggie and her team. They took all our jumbled ideas and made them into an amazing cohesive event. We never could have thrown such a perfect wedding without them. Seriously, hire them! You won't regret it

is originally from but had no idea where to start. From our first conversation, Maggie was friendly, informative, empathetic and funny! We felt comfortable with her right away. Maggie and Ashley were always very communicative throughout the whole planning process, checking in with us and making sure we were on schedule with planning, payments, etc. She has a great list of vendors to choose from and she always guided us to the ones the fit our style the best without being pushy. On the day of our wedding, we didn't have to lift a finger or think any thoughts. There was always someone from the Double G team close by to assist with anything we needed. We're so happy with Maggie and Double G. They are most definitely worth the investment and peace of mind a bride needs during times of stress. I highly recommend them to anyone.

ing a dual wedding long-distance was no simple task! Maggie was flexible with her hours and made it easy to hop on a call as needed, despite the 3 hour time difference and our hectic work schedules. I did not have a clear vision of what I wanted from the outset, and Maggie was not only patient with me as I narrowed things down (and occasionally changed my mind on things), but was also helpful in guiding me through all the options. She picked up on my style right away and designed something that was out of a fairytale. Every one of our guests commented on how beautiful everything was and how smooth everything went. I didn’t have to worry about a thing on our wedding day and we were both able to just enjoy every moment. I could never have imagined a more perfect wedding! Thank you Maggie!

ceed our expectations.  We also both work full-time, so having an involved wedding planner was very important for us.  Maggie and her team coordinated with the venue, the band, the florist, the photographer and videographer, the transportation, and the hotels for us, as well as worked with us on things we hadn’t initially considered, like wedding favors (which she and her team put together for us) and charger plates.  Also, Maggie’s day-of wedding assistant Rhonda is fantastic!  On the day of the wedding, Rhonda kept everything running incredibly smoothly, shepherding everyone to where they needed to go and keeping everyone calm.  Everyone is still raving about how tasteful and well-organized our wedding was; we couldn’t have pulled it off without Double G. Most importantly, Maggie is very personable and passionate about her work. She is also very funny and make the environment very easy going, which is great because during wedding planning we were very stressed. We always had weekly phone calls for status updates. So, there was always constant communication every week. Maggie is more than just a wedding planner. She is a friend, who was there with us in our time of need. Grabbing coffee and discussing the wedding, etc…We recommend Double G to every wedding couple that is looking for a planner. They are awesome.

ear during the first meeting and the rehearsal ensuring every detail, many of which we hadn’t considered, was addressed. The day-of, Amanda made sure everything ran smoothly and gracefully handled what could have been a major transportation disaster. On top of all that, she even helped wash my feet after our sunset photo shoot on the beach, such a lifesaver! We would absolutely recommend Amanda and Double G Events to anyone!

hout the help of a planner. Knowing all the ins and outs is overwhelming and hiring Double G was the best investment we made! We spoke with a bunch of other planners in the area, but Maggie was by far the friendliest and most honest. She told us about her "full disclosure" clause right from the start and we immediately felt comfortable and confident with her and her team. During the planning process, Maggie referred the best vendors that fit what we were looking for and put together a wedding dream team. She was always responsive with any questions or concerns we had and I know our wedding day would not have been the same without them. I looked through most of their reviews and it seems all of their clients have had very positive experiences with them with only one negative. While I can't speak for that bride and do feel badly, we never once had a negative experience with the Double G team! I guess there is always going to be that one bad Yelp review. We would hire them ten times over and are so happy they were a part of such an important day. Thank you so much!

l of my successes thus far to her and want to thank her for everything she has been able to teach me. Her passion for the industry shows in every move she makes and as a future bride myself she provides advice and support with every decision I make. Maggie is always there at every turn and I cannot wait to see what else she has in store for me throughout this journey as both her lead planner and a bride to be!

recommended, and it's clear many others have had great experiences with them. We got off to a good start. However, we soon noticed Maggie slipping on details - such as accidentally CCing our concerns with the venue staff to the venue staff. Our experience with Maggie and the Double G team went downhill from there. Some highlights: * The week of our wedding, the venue considered not allowing our band to play (a complicated miscommunication). Maggie thought this was “entertaining”, and let the groom figure out how to resolve the issue. *2 days before, Double G asked me to miss a lunch with 40 out of town guests the day of our rehearsal to accommodate THEIR schedule for having a handoff. They were inconvenienced by the drive to our venue and unwilling to arrive any other time. * DoubleG committed to staff the wedding with 4 people and arrived with 2. They explained the day of the rehearsal (irritated when we asked) the other 2 staff would show up for the main event only (news to us!) * We arrived early, prepped the venue, unloaded and labeled all the decorations. Catering would do the rest. When the Double G team arrived for the handoff, we had 2 remaining tasks. But they asked us: “So, who’s going to do that?” The tasks were not unreasonable, and I assumed they would take on responsibility at the handoff. But the implication was clear: they weren't going to do it, and the burden was on me - the bride - to or miss a pre-wedding family gathering to finish prepping. A friend had to convince them to help. There was no attempt on their part to problem solve. * An hour into our rehearsal, the Double G team approached me and said they “were going to be done for the night.” Yes: they left an event they were supposed to be running. Our family and friends helped us clean up decorations. * On the day of our wedding, no one checked in on me or the bridal party until I was already dressed and pictures were about to start. * The DoubleG team was at our hotel venue but did not show up to finalize decorations for the reception. Perhaps they planned to get to it later, but family and friends agains jumped in to take care of it as we got to within an hour. * During our reception, the groom asked for a plate of appetizers (which should have already been made for us). We probably weren't popular with their team at this point, but the DoubleG team member actually rolled her eyes at him and walked away. A friend eventually got us the food. * The entire Double G team strolled into our wedding brunch on Sunday into their pajamas - bra straps showing, slippers on. Several of our guests commented on this. Incredibly unprofessional. It was unclear to me if our wedding was too far away, too complex, or not worth enough money for DoubleG to care about. Perhaps they arrived and it was more work than they thought it should have been. However, ultimately the responsibility falls to the professional team to address miscommunications and try align our expectations with theirs, and they utterly failed to do this. I was upset at their rudeness and genuinely lacked confidence things would get done - and what do you hire a planner for if not to give you confidence things will be taken care of? I regret hiring Double G, and hope others consider this experience seriously before hiring them.

ou really were a life saver! Mark and I enjoyed you and your team and I couldn’t have imagined the day without you all. Thank you so much again! Kimberly

ection, we were guided through and felt involved in every detail. She brought everything together more than we could have imagined. She listened to me and pulled the vision together. I loved the look and feel of my wedding day so much and for that, I am so grateful. We also worked with Ashley during much of the planning process, who was amazing as well! The entire DGE team is great to work with. Maggie is direct, confident, flexible, and very good at what she does. Thank you so so much!!

month, the ceremony went smoothly and my sanity was saved!! My daughter's wedding was in Scenic GLP, CT , June 16, 2018 , The ceremony was on my sisters beautiful back yard overlooking the water. The reception was at a hall down the lagoon- and much of those details were taken care of by the caterer and the decorator. A month before we realized we could really use help with the pre ceremony and ceremony details. One of my other daughters was the officiant and could not be the task master of all the details of the weekend, nor could I. By the time I reached out to Maggie we were 2 weeks out. I met with Amanda the week before to go thru what we envisioned for the day, including the transportation details, a trolley from the hotel, the quartet , photographer and videotographer. She provided such great advice and support , and her calming personality put everyone at ease. The day of the wedding our trolley made one trip successfully and then got lost going back for the remaining 15 guests. If Amanda had not been there to handle this major hiccup I would have gone insane. She was so calm and professional. Then my husband got stabbed by the pin in his boutonniere as a result of a very aggressive hug by a guest- resulting in his very white shirt being blood stained right before family pictures- Amanda to the rescue- bleach stick and blow dryer and he was picture ready in 5 minutes. And then Amanda stayed for cocktail hour and introductions at the reception. She was an absolute pleasure to work with!!!! If I had to do this over again I would have hired Double G a year ago!!!

of a June 2019 wedding. That is, until we decided to move it WAY UP to May 2018. Maggie didn't even bat an eye. In just 6 months, she was able to plan & design the wedding of my dreams. She helped me choose every detail along the way- and there was a LOT! From the big stuff: venue, caterer, florist, photographer, videographer, dress... to the smaller details: day-of signage, glam squad, linens, cutlery, lighting, floor plan, tables... the list was never ending. Also, the AislePlanner portal she uses for her clients was HUGE for staying organized with my guest list, RSVPS, table assignments, and personal checklist. If I thought she was irreplaceable during the planning process, she and her team absolutely sealed the deal on the day-of. Everything was planned down to the minute and went off without a hitch. I knew I was in the best possible hands and was able to totally relax and just ENJOY my wedding day when it finally arrived. I've heard from friends and family that it was the most beautiful, organized, and fun wedding they have ever been to. The tent & Maggie's design took everyone's breath away, and I received so many compliments about what a professional and organized team I had to support me on my wedding day. I would hire Maggie 10x over if I could- worth literally every penny and then some. Thank you thank you thank you again to the dream team: Maggie, Ashley, Ashley, and Jackie!!

o hopefully are planning their wedding for the only child, their daughter, who would be marrying her longtime boyfriend whom she met at St. Andrew’s in Scotland, a wonderful school. Maggie, all I hear is how the whole event was perfect down to the last detail. But the perfect thing about the wedding was YOU! I know that I am incredibly spacey, and you hung in there with me and forgave me for everything I managed to muddle up! But my distractions aside, you picked wonderful people in terms of every single vendor. It truly was the wedding of my dreams and you did it all. I don’t know how you do your job so perfectly, but I will tell you that just going to Compo Flower Shop to order three centerpieces for the rehearsal dinner and remembering to pick them up two hours later, and then transporting them to Bailey’s nearly put me around the bend!! You were truly a joy to work with, your competent and kind demeanor really clicked with me as well. I can’t thank you enough, Maggie. No words are adequate. You are superb! I forgot to mention the staff, who were uniformly gracious. That sweet Ashley: so helpful. I kept asking her to run back downstairs because the centerpieces by the pool were continually on their sides and it was driving me nuts, as my windows look right down at the pool. I might have been a little obsessive about this, but Sweet Ashley never batted an eye. She just kept cheerfully running back down to tell “someone”. Every single person more than earned their gratuities. I certainly didn’t spend an adequate time thanking them, which I regret deeply. Love, Sara

ny without one. Maggie was incredibly helpful with last minute arrangements and details and made sure the event ran smoothly and was enjoyable for everyone, including us! I would definitely recommend hiring a wedding planner and using Maggie and her team to any couple out there planning a wedding!

ble to pull off my vision for a backyard wedding on our farm singlehandedly. Little did I know just how useful Maggie and her team would prove to be! They planned and executed the most perfect day with every single detail accounted for and transformed an empty field into a beautiful, luxurious event space! Maggie and her team are true professionals—they know the wedding industry inside and out and provided me with the most helpful guidance and connections along the way. I met nearly all of my vendors through Double G and know without a doubt that I would not have found such high quality vendors on my own. Maggie also knows what works and what absolutely does not and was not afraid to tell me when one of my wacky ideas was way off base. With that said, though, I never felt like the plan for the day wasn’t mine—it was as if she took my vision, tweaked it, made it more doable and ultimately so much better! Maggie and Ashley were also always available to me—this was the best reason to go with the Full Planning package—whenever I had a question or was freaking out about something, they would email or call right away. Ashley’s emails were always encouraging and enthusiastic which was so appreciated especially toward the end when I was just wishing the planning would be over. Maggie met me all over the state for in-person consultations and accompanied me to every vendor meeting which made me feel like I was in such good hands. On the day of the wedding, I didn’t worry about a single thing—I knew that it was all going to be taken care of by my Double G ladies! Everyone remarked at how gorgeous and unique the day was and kept saying it was the best wedding they had ever been to. So much of this is due to Double G! Their beautiful design and flawless execution made the day simply perfect. I think back and truly cannot believe that this extraordinary wedding was mine!

and it was a pleasure working with you guys. Amanda did such a great job coordinating the day and was so calm and collected that it made us feel like everything was under control. She dealt with my crazy family very well. Thanks again Maggie & Amanda. Best of luck with everything!

n it was the best wedding they ever attended. Maggie and her team are very detail oriented. They do amazing work!

. I did not have to worry about anything on our special day and it was truly perfect. Ashley was with us from the start and managed a wedding party of 16!! Thank you!

months before, Maggie and her team stepped in and took care of everything without burdening us! They are very professional and were dedicated to making sure my daughter and I had a stress free wedding! Having the gals with us before and on the wedding day let us enjoy every bit of the wedding weekend. Can't recommend them enough!!!!

ped keep the stress down. The wedding was amazing thanks to her design and all the great vendors she recommended us to work with. . A+. Thank you! Thank you!

onversation with Maggie I felt like I had a best friend who was going to look out for me and kick ass ;) I had so many ideas (overwhelming!) and Maggie was able to help me keep it focused and would give her honest opinion/advice. I really appreciated that as I can really be all over the place ;) She kept me on a timeline and was always available to me via email or phone if I needed. She made the whole process fun, exciting, organic and doable! The result of working with Maggie was I got my dream wedding. She was able to bring it all to life. We got so many wonderful compliments on every detail of the wedding. My favorite one was that the wedding was so "us". My husband and I loved that. Along with Maggie we also had the chance to work with her assistant Danielle who was equally amazing and helpful. I would HIGHLY recommend hiring Double G to plan your wedding. It was a real treat!

amazing! Throughout the process Maggie and Ashley always responded within 24 hours and kept us at ease. They had the best advice, helped contact vendors for us, and took so much stress off of us. With their help we were actually able to relax and enjoy the weeks leading up to our wedding. They helped with every single detail and were with us every step of the way. On the day of the wedding they made sure that we had everything we needed and made sure to check in with us throughout the night. They set up all of our details, directed our guests, and packed everything up at the end of the night. They made sure we were on schedule throughout the night and helped make such a memorable wedding. We are so happy that they were a part of our wedding.

From start to finish, the planning to the bouquet toss, it was flawless and beyond my expectations. I highly recommend Double G Events. Maggie and her team made my experience planning my daughter's wedding a true joy. Not stressful. Just fun and easy. If I have another wedding or anyone I know does, we will most definitely hire Maggie and her team again.

You made the day so much better. Thanks so much.

fessional, funny and kind. I felt very comfortable calling and emailing her with any questions and concerns I had. The week of the wedding I felt great knowing that I was in great hands with Maggie and her team. 110% recommend!

hly to help with finding a babysitter last minute and the shuttle! We really appreciate your patience and I don't think we could've done it all without you and your team! Both you, Ashley and Danielle were always so quick to get back to us with any questions we had and the tables and room were decorated beautifully! We also really appreciate that your staff was so attentive to Bjørnulf and I the day of our wedding and made sure we had food and drinks or whatever else we needed.

to get it, but wanted to completely enjoy my day and be 100% hands off. Not only did Maggie give me the greatest advice during the few walk-throughs and conversations we had, she was supportive of my entire vision. Ronda was a dream as my support the day of the wedding... making sure I was where I needed to be without ANY stress... and when I walked into the venue IT WAS BEAUTIFUL. Maggie and her team had taken my vision and made it beyond anything I could have ever imagined. You CAN NOT GO WRONG. The amazing job and team and experience with Double G was PRICELESS. I couldn't be any more happy with my experience!

She was able to find us incredible people to work with and helped us to determine what was important to us and what we could do without to stay within our budget. Maggie clarified my vision for the design of the wedding and made everything look seamless and beautiful. It was such a relief having her to answer all of our questions along the way (and we had a LOT of questions!). She was a mediator, sounding-board, and amazing partner for planning the most beautiful day of our lives! As an overly anxious person, it was such a blessing to be able to completely relax on my wedding day and know that everything would be taken care of. I cannot thank Maggie and the team enough. You will not regret booking her!
