Watters & Co

htly it could have been a complete logistical nightmare and a hot mess. Gabby worked with us through meetings, travelled to our reception space at our house while we were out of state to pull together a plan that would work for us and all of our vendors (and she saved our asses and fixed some pretty serious mistakes we made more than once!) She was able to pivot so quickly to accommodate all of our needs and did it with such a sweet and uplifting attitude! We would not have been able to have our day the way we envisioned it if it wasn't for her and we truly value and are so grateful to have found her! If you're looking for a wedding planner who cares, who will recommend vendors and be there for you in times of wedding crisis, and who will make your wedding dreams come to life we can only recommend Gabby and Watters and Co. Thank you Gabby, we will forever be grateful for all your hard work! <3 - Lilah and Jeremiah

how we would have made it through without her. When I first reached out to Gabby, I was overwhelmed trying to plan a wedding while working full time. After countless tears and breakdowns, my fiancé and family encouraged me to find help. I had come across a few planners, but something about Gabby stood out. I sent her a long, emotional message pouring out all of my frustration, and she responded with so much compassion and reassurance. Even before we officially booked her, she was already offering support — and after our discovery call, I told my fiancé, “We need Gabby.” We originally hired her for month-of and day-of coordination, but I quickly realized I couldn’t do it all on my own. I reached back out and asked to upgrade to full-service planning. When she said yes, I felt an immediate sense of peace — like I could finally breathe. From that moment on, I was able to enjoy our engagement and trust that we were in the best hands. Our wedding was intentionally small and intimate (less than 30 guests), and Gabby made it feel just as meaningful and magical as a large-scale celebration. We planned everything in just five months. After walking away from our original venue, Gabby helped us find the perfect space for our ceremony and reception — something that reflected our style, priorities, and budget. Our budget wasn’t very big, but Gabby handled it with so much care and intention. She was incredibly mindful of every dollar spent and made sure we felt confident in every decision without ever feeling limited or discouraged. Her vendor recommendations were spot-on, and she handled communication and logistics so seamlessly that I didn’t have to stress. Throughout the process, Gabby was incredibly attentive, organized, and thoughtful. Her attention to detail blew me away. She checked in constantly, reassured me during stressful moments, and genuinely cared about how I was doing. She always looked for ways to lift burdens off my shoulders, and I could feel how invested she was in not just the wedding, but us as a couple. When our big day arrived, the peace I felt knowing Gabby was running the show was indescribable. She and her amazing assistant, Kelsey, were everywhere — making sure things ran smoothly, supporting our families, and taking care of us at every turn. We felt so taken care of, and because of that, we were able to truly be present and soak in the joy of the day. And let’s talk about Gabby’s design skills — AMAZING. From the initial mood boards to the final setup, everything was timeless, romantic, and breathtaking. She took the vision we had in our hearts and brought it to life with so much artistry and care. Every detail was intentional, and her execution was flawless. Our family and friends still talk about how stunning everything was and how amazing Gabby was. If I could go back and have Gabby from day one, I would do it in a heartbeat. But we are endlessly grateful we had her for the part of the journey that mattered most. She brought peace, beauty, and joy to our wedding season — and we couldn’t be more thankful. If you’re looking for a planner who is kind, talented, organized, passionate, and genuinely invested in your happiness, Gabby is everything you could ever hope for — and more. Hiring her was the best decision we made.

upcoming tours I had scheduled, and she actually followed up afterward to see how they went — before I was even officially her client. That small, thoughtful gesture instantly made me feel seen and cared for, and it showed just how attentive she is, even without any obligation. From that moment on, I knew she was the one for us. Throughout the entire planning process, Gabby became so much more than our planner — she became a friend and truly felt like family. Her attention to detail is unmatched. She’s incredibly talented, organized, thorough, and genuinely kind. Communication was always effortless and reassuring, and I never once felt like I was doing anything alone. She kept us on track with detailed timelines and checklists, making everything feel manageable and smooth from start to finish. On our wedding day, everything ran seamlessly. Gabby brought our dream to life in every way. Our room reveal brought tears to our eyes and left our jaws on the floor — it was everything we hoped for and more. She’s not afraid to speak up or run a tight ship to make sure your day goes perfectly — and trust me, you’ll be so grateful she does! Honestly, I’m sad the wedding is over because planning with Gabby was such a joy. But now, I have a forever friend, and I’m so thankful for that. Gabby is truly a blessing, and her talent speaks for itself. Choosing Watters & Co means putting your big day in the best hands possible. 1000/10 recommend!!!!

remely kind, gracious and an overall amazing human but she is also so driven, organized, professional and excited to deliver the best wedding for her clients. From the very beginning she could see our vision (even if it wasn't always clear to us). I only gave her a few Pinterest images to go off of and she design my perfect wedding. She knew when to reel me in but also when to push me. Our least favorite topic was obviously budget but she did a great job of making that subject approachable. When it came to the day of the wedding, I couldn't have asked for a better person by my side besides my husband :). My whole wedding party loved her and respected her because she was professional but approachable. If you are looking for a planner, look no further!!!!! She is the best thing we spent our money on for the wedding and would use her 10x again (hopefully we don't have a need for a wedding planning again though LOL)!! She will be your biggest champion!!

wedding in a 9 month window, fully intending to do everything on my own. After a couple (lots) of breakdowns, I reached out to a friend who was a few months out from her wedding. She seemed so calm and had the answer to every question I threw at her before sharing her best kept secret with me...Gabby! I never envisioned hiring a wedding planner for my wedding but it was the BEST decision I could have ever made. Not only did Gabby take the stress out of wedding planning, but she genuinely cared about every moment, detail, and conversation we had leading up to and during the big day. Whether it was a recommendation for a vendor, a barrage of late-night texts, or a phone call to ease my anxiety, Gabby was right there. Gabby had no trouble taming our bridal party and keeping everyone engaged from the moment we started rehearsal until our wedding send-off. She navigated issues that presented during our wedding that I didn't even know were problems. Multiple guests commented on how impressed they were with how smooth everything went and Gabby deserves ALL the credit for that. I can't say enough good things about how happy I was to work with Gabby and her crew (shout out to Kelsey for being an absolute rockstar). It was such an incredible feeling walking into the venue and seeing all of our ideas come to fruition. Honestly the best part of working with Gabby was the gift of being able to enjoy your day FULLY without worrying about anything. I can truly say that not once during our wedding did I worry or stress or care about anything other than having an awesome time. If you're still here, reading this review, stop searching and book Copper River + Co... I promise you won't regret it.

anning process, Gabby went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect. On the day of the wedding, her team handled any unexpected issues with ease, allowing us to relax and enjoy our day to the fullest. If you're looking for a wedding planner who truly cares and delivers beyond expectations, look no further than Gabby!

ed me organize my thoughts and provided very detailed information that helped me with planning my wedding. Throughout the process she was easy to get a hold of, answered questions, provided recommendations on vendors, met with me several times prior to the wedding and really went above and beyond. I felt SO CALM the day of because I knew she had it handled. I don't know how people can have a wedding without a planner/coordinator because it was 1000% necessary to have her guidance and help. I would hire her again for any major event I throw in the future.

e my first phone call with Gabby, it felt like we found the missing piece to make our dream wedding become a reality! We had most of our big vendors booked but felt overwhelmed with so many moving pieces and little details left. We opted for the Event Management package which covered vendor communications starting a couple months out, timeline and floor plan design, day-of coordination and so much more! Gabby was available for all our questions, to bounce ideas around, and most importantly kept me on track which gave me peace of mind throughout the process! It seriously felt like a huge weight off my shoulders once we booked her. Gabby set us up on Aisle Planner which was such a helpful and easy to use tool to keep track of our checklist, vendors, payment schedule, and included helpful tips and guides about wedding stationary, gratuity for vendors, music, photo shot lists, etc. She always came to me with amazing ideas and talked things through with me without ever making me feel overwhelmed. There were so many planning aspects that I didn’t consider (or had never even heard of) and Gabby was there every step of the way offering her advice and guidance. We had a Friday the 13th wedding in October and had a spooky theme throughout. That’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but Gabby was so supportive and jumped right onboard with the theme and made everything feel so personalized. Before our wedding even took place, one of my friends booked Gabby for her wedding next year after hearing me rave about her. During our rehearsal and throughout the wedding day our family and friends were so impressed with Gabby’s organization and ability to thrive in this (sometimes hectic) environment. I was so thankful to be able to relax and enjoy my wedding day (and have our whole wedding party enjoy the day) because Gabby had everything handled. I’m honestly bummed that wedding planning is over because I miss working with Gabby already!!
