Shannen with Pink Daisies Event was such a blessing to have on my wedding day. She was so thoughtful in her preparation and very professional and caring through all our communication. My venue had a coordinator but I was so thankful that I had Shannen there as well to take care of the little details I would have missed and help with the vendor questions and alternate solutions to keep those worries off my plate and went above and beyond to make sure the day went smoothly and that my husband and I were enjoying ourselves. I would highly recommend Pink Daisies events to anyone!

I am Terri Gilbreath owner and lead planner. I have been working in the wedding industry for over 21 years now. I love a great party and feel your event should reflect your style and personality. We work together to combine the best of our experience with what you want. Our company has become a leader in building from the ground up events (Basically building an event space in the middle of nowhere or home/estate based.)

Terri and the team at G.G. Events were an absolute dream to work with for our wedding! Terri was always just a call or text away, and her communication style was incredibly responsive and attentive. The quality of their work and value was unparalleled - they were efficient, hard working, and determined to make our wedding day absolutely amazing. Terri not only made our wedding day a dream come true, but the entire planning experience was a breeze thanks to her. She made all of our wants happen and then some, smoothing over any hiccups that came up with creative solutions. My whole family loves and appreciates everything G.G. Events did for us - we truly could not have asked for better. My wedding day was the best day of my life, and Terri and her team played a huge part in making all of my wedding dreams come true.

Jacksonville, FL

Events are milestones. A distinct time in one's life where people come together, fall in love, celebrate, congratulate, and often mark the closing of one phase of life and the beginning of another. I started Maebell in 2018 as a way to make extra income to pay for grad school at JU while still working full-time as a School Counselor in Duval. Little did I know that I would find myself living the dream as an Event Coordinator and Small Business Owner. With a background in logistics and a creative knack for detail, I have found my true and authentic self when I am with my clients, couples, and their families.

Allyson was absolutely fantastic! We couldn't have asked for a more knowledgeable, thorough, fun, I-got-this-everyone-go-have-fun-and-don't-think-about-it coordinator! We interviewed a few coordinators local to the venue (Charlotte, NC) and couldn't find anyone as knowledgeable and enjoyable to work with as Allyson. So, we decided it was worth it to pay for her travel expenses and have her execute our big day :). She had the perfect balance of making sure everything was discussed and taken care of while also keeping us calm and avoiding any opportunity to feel overwhelmed. We can't recommend Allyson Reese and Maebell Event Coordinating enough! She went above and beyond, picking up linens, making the flowers look perfect, bringing us our drinks of choice throughout the reception, and hitting the dance floor when everyone needed that extra boost of joy. Allyson - THANK YOU for making the day so seamless and special!!

We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Samantha her SNG team. From start to finish, our wedding weekend was completely seamless, and I genuinely did not have to worry about a single thing. Every detail I imagined was executed absolutely perfectly. Samantha was not only incredibly organized and professional, but also genuinely kind and respectful to our family, guests, and wedding party. Even when giving direction, she did so with warmth and grace—something that was noticed and complimented by many people who have experienced far less respectful planners in the past. SNG was with us every step of the way, from the rehearsal dinner to the welcome party and through the wedding day itself, and everything flowed effortlessly. Multiple vendors went out of their way to compliment Samantha’s communication, professionalism, and responsiveness. I never waited more than 10 minutes for a response to any question (which was a service level my type-A self BEYOND appreciated), and she was always extremely accommodating of my and my husbands busy out of town schedules. If we ever plan another event in the Jacksonville area, SNG will absolutely be our first call. Hiring Samantha was one of the best decisions we made, and we are beyond grateful for the experience she gave us.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Janae. From the moment we connected months before the wedding, I instantly felt a sense of calm and trust. After our first meeting, Michael and I walked away feeling so much more at ease about everything. Wedding planning can be stressful, but with the right support it becomes so much easier—and that’s exactly what Janae provided. Throughout the entire process, she was organized, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in bringing my vision to life. She sent ideas she knew I would love, checked in often, and always made sure we felt prepared for each step. I appreciated how well she understood my style and how patient and reassuring she was through the whole journey. When the wedding day finally arrived, she truly exceeded every expectation. She handled every detail flawlessly and made sure everything ran smoothly—especially important since I wasn’t feeling my best that morning! When I saw the venue for the first time, I was completely in awe. It looked exactly how I dreamed it would, and that was because of her care, talent, and attention to detail. Janae is not only amazing at what she does, but she has such a warm, calming presence that makes the entire experience better.

With over 5 years of experience in the wedding industry, I specialize in turning couple's dreams into unforgettable realities. I am passionate about every detail, I love guiding couples through their big day. One of my favorite parts of the wedding day is sending the bride down the aisle.

I originally wasn’t going to have a wedding coordinator, I had recently quit my job so I thought I wouldn’t need one since I had time to plan, but then I did some research and learned that our wedding day would be less stressful if we hired one. I looked online and found Kaitlyn and I liked her from the first call, she was very polite and kind. We hired her as day of coordinator, but she was available for my questions all the time which was very impressive to me. We had our first meeting with my fiancé and her a little over a month before the wedding and it was always evident to us how organized, professional, and good at planning she is. She also coordinated meetings with the venue, created a perfectly smooth timeline targeted to our preferences, and even shared her expertise when we were making final decisions. We were very pleased working with her until that point, but we really understood how lucky we were to have hired her on our wedding weekend. She organized our rehearsal and our wedding in such a flawless way that we didn’t have one worry in our minds for the whole weekend. She was diligent but kind when organizing our vendors and family members. She coordinated everything so both our venues (ceremony and reception) did everything exactly as we wanted, and she won both my fiancé’s and my family’s hearts with her amazing personality and hard work. We were incredibly pleased with all our vendors, and we wouldn’t have changed anything about our wedding, but our best decision was definitely hiring Kaitlyn. No one had such an immense impact as she did. Words can’t describe all she did for us but to mention some examples: she always had water bottles ready for me and my husband in the ceremony, and when we were taking pictures, she carried my veil while we walked through the St Augustine streets, she BOUGHT US SNACKS from Starbucks after the ceremony and didn’t even want us to venmo her, I was sick and had been losing my voice since the rehearsal dinner and she bought me a tea she had heard about on TikTok that saved my voice in time for the reception, she and her wonderful assistant Sam took the flowers for the grooms family in their car all the way to their Airbnb so they would have them in time for the pre-wedding photos, and they took all the cards and decorations to our hotel room after the reception, and many many other things I wouldn’t have time to finish mentioning. All I can say to finish is that you rarely find people as smart, professional, resourceful, organized, passionate about their work, person as Kaitlyn is, but above all she is a wonderful and kind hearted human being, whom we were tremendously blessed to have had as our wedding coordinator. We couldn’t recommend her enough and we are forever grateful for making our wedding day better than we could have imagined.

Brittany and her staff are beyond amazing. She attended meetings with us, guided us in making decisions, gave us resources to find vendors and items on our own, when needed. She bent over backwards for us, when the industry was coming out of Covid to find venues that would accommodate our needs and wants. She can turn on a dime when faced with an obstacle. There is not enough space here to list the number of reasons that she and her team are incredible at what they do. Sometimes they are slow to respond, but after working with her, rest assured that it is because they are giving another bride the same attention they will give you! 20 out of 10 recommend. - MOB

I'm a new vendor to Zola however I've been planning weddings and events for the past 15 years! It all began when I sharpened my skills in floral arranging, event planning, and luxury hospitality while working at a private estate. During this time, I also opened my wedding planning business which led me to coordinating the majority of my weddings in San Francisco and Napa. Fast forward to 2025 and I've moved across the country from Northern California to Ponte Vedra, Florida and I'm loving the laid back beach lifestyle with my husband and kids! I look forward to assisting new couples with their dream wedding!

About a month and a half before our wedding, we decided to hire Katelyn to be our wedding coordinator. We really needed someone to step in and tie everything together and she was the right person for the job. She dove in head first and took charge! With such short notice and limited time, Katelyn was able to help us finalize our wedding plans. She helped us make final decisions on different aspects of the entire wedding, while coming up with ideas and choices we hadn’t even thought of. Not only did Katelyn ensure that our wedding timeline flowed smoothly, she did all of the flower arrangements, set us up with a DJ, and created the layout for the wedding and reception. She saved the day for me when the bouquets I had ordered turned out horrible. With the extra flowers she had leftover, she was able to create new bouquets that turned out beautiful. Katelyn is a true visionary. She is very ambitious, energetic, artistic, creative, and she provides professional customer service. Katelyn didn’t just treat us like “another client”, but as friends. She truly cared about us and our wedding, wanting to make it a very memorable experience. Anyone who has planned a wedding, or big event for that matter, knows the stress that comes along with it. Katelyn was able to take a majority of that stress off our plates and let us enjoy our big day. For that, we are truly grateful.
