Gavin Esham Events

ent she arrived, quickly getting up to speed on all of our plans, coordinating with our venue and vendors, and making sure everything was moving smoothly. Her support became even more invaluable when the Nor’easter forced us to pivot our entire wedding at the last minute. What had been planned as a fully outdoor wedding including our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception dinner suddenly had to be moved completely indoors. Through all of those changes, Vicky helped coordinate between the venue and our vendors to make sure our original vision still came to life, just in entirely different spaces than we had planned. She handled so many of the moving pieces behind the scenes and remained calm and composed throughout all of the last-minute changes. Even with everything happening around us, she never made the situation feel stressful or chaotic. Having Vicky there meant I could finally step away from the logistics, trust that things were being handled, and focus on actually experiencing and enjoying our wedding day. She took initiative and stepped in where she was needed without me having to constantly provide direction or manage what was happening behind the scenes. Beyond being incredibly helpful, Vicky was also such a pleasure to work with. While my fiancé (now husband!) and I were getting ready in two different locations, she helped coordinate between the two of us throughout the day, while also regularly checking in on me to make sure I had everything I needed. She distributed our personal florals to both of our families and was constantly stepping in wherever she could be helpful. We felt incredibly supported on a day when so much had to change unexpectedly. Vicky was calm, pleasant, proactive, and willing to jump in wherever needed, and we are so thankful she was part of our wedding day. We would absolutely recommend Vicky to any couple looking for someone who can step in, take initiative, coordinate all of the moving pieces, and help make sure they can actually be present and enjoy their wedding day.

. Between balancing our schedules and running into frustrating communication hurdles with our venue (which, while gorgeous, presented its fair share of logistical headaches), the joy of planning was quickly turning into stress. That’s when our best friends, Lindsay and Maria—who had both worked with Gavin in the past—insisted, "Just call Gavin right now." So we did. From our very first phone call, we instantly connected with him. He was exceptionally kind, responsive, and reassuring. When we met in person, it was even better. We felt an immediate sense of ease and knew we could completely trust him to bring the vision in our heads to life. And he didn't just meet our expectations—he went above and beyond in every single way. Not only did he seamlessly steer us through some tricky venue dynamics, but he also supported us with design concepts and all the personal touches that made our day truly ours. On the wedding day itself, Gavin was everywhere at once, handling every detail with total grace and expertise. Because of him, we were actually able to sit back, relax, and have the absolute best time of our lives. When we walked into our reception room and saw it fully set up, it was an exactly what we had dreamed up—we never could have pulled it off without him by our side. If you have the chance to work with him, treat yourself to the Gavin Esham experience. He truly is the magic man!   

at the reception layout. He went above and beyond to make sure the day went smoothly. Gavin ensured we had built in extra time into the day so that we didn't feel rushed during the photos. We had a Jewish wedding ceremony which involved some additional bells and whistles and Gavin leaned in to make sure he understood and executed those details. While I have only planned my own wedding, our other vendors attend weddings all the time, and our photographer let us know he was the most thorough day-of coordinator he had ever worked with, while our makeup artist said she loved him and asked how we found him. The day of the wedding went very smoothly. I don’t think Gavin arranged for the weather to be so nice, but if he had, we wouldn’t be surprised! Gavin, thanks for taking on the final details and ensuring it was a truly special day.

rwhelmed. Gavin stepped in with calm, kindness, and incredible organizational skills that made everything fall into place. Thanks to him, I could actually enjoy my engagement and wedding instead of drowning in stress. He’s professional, compassionate, and truly gifted at what he does. I can’t recommend him enough!

a designer and planner, transforming our family estate into a breathtaking wonderland. Gavin’s design sensibilities are exceptional; every detail was thoughtfully curated to reflect our personalities. The elegant floral arrangements, stunning table settings, and ambient lighting created an atmosphere that was both romantic and enchanting. Guests were in awe of the aesthetic, and many remarked that it felt like a fairy tale. One of the standout aspects of working with Gavin was his attention to personal touches. He made it a point to incorporate elements that were meaningful to us, which truly made our wedding feel unique and special. The timeline Gavin created was nothing short of miraculous. Every moment flowed seamlessly, allowing us to enjoy each part of the day without any stress. However, the real testament to his talent shone through when an unexpected mishap occurred: my wedding dress was stepped on and got muddy right before I was supposed to walk down the aisle. In what felt like a moment of panic, Gavin swooped in like a superhero and worked his magic. He managed to fix it swiftly, ensuring that not a single guest realized anything had gone amiss. I walked down the aisle feeling confident and beautiful, thanks to his quick thinking! Overall, Gavin Esham Events exceeded all our expectations, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. If you are looking for a planner who combines creativity, professionalism, and genuine care for your special day, look no further. Thank you, Gavin, for making our wedding unforgettable!

r ‘add on’ anything that was out of our budget. He was very real and upfront every step of the way. He offered awesome alternatives to ideas we had that saved us money, and made our wedding day go so smoothly. He reeled us back in when we were straying too far off the path! Our wedding went off without a hitch and we never knew if anything went wrong. He made connections with his contacts to help us pull some last minute decor things together and became a beautiful friend by the end of the process. He bowed out gracefully at the end of the night and has remained the top person I have recommended to people (everyone I know or meet) over the years. Whether you’re looking for full fledged wedding/event planning or just someone to help guide you through the process- Gavin is definitely your guy!

ting chart, and coming up with our timeline for the best day of my life. About 6 weeks before my wedding, I panicked in the midst of all of my documents and tote bins full of decor. I realized I could not do this all myself AND have a stressed and care-free day. This is where Gavin came in- ready to save my perfect day. He knew what I needed and delivered it without stress or panic, despite the tight timeline we had at that point. He immediately put my mind at ease. He helped orchestrate the perfect timeline, walked us through our rehearsal, and made sure our day ran with the utmost grace. He worked with my vendors that day and helped set up my decor so that the venue looked like my dreams coming to life. I cannot recommend Gavin Esham Events enough, to all of the brides and grooms searching for a seamless and perfect day. You can trust him with all of your visions, worries, and “musts”- he will deliver it all, and then some 🤍

ze stress on the big day. Well, with Gavin, there was no stress at all! I didn’t have to worry about a single thing because I knew based on how thorough and organized he was from the beginning, he would handle everything we needed to make sure the day went smoothly. I can still remember getting ready when Gavin came in and said the florist couldn’t find the boxes I dropped off. After confirming what I gave the florist, he said “Don’t worry, I’m on it” and I knew I didn’t even have to give it another thought. From setting up at the venue, coordinating with vendors, keeping the day to the timeline, and even helping to bustle my dress - he does it all - and so well! From a very type A bride, I truly couldn’t recommend him enough.
