Fantastic!

Gurley Events did a fantastic job at making my dream wedding come to life, and more importantly allowing me to have a total stress free wedding day. I myself am a pretty detailed person and a big planner however with the venue I choose and the amount of vendors and details involved in this wedding I knew I would need someone extremely organized to make sure everything came together on my big day. I gave all my trust to Gurley Events in making this happen and I cannot thank them enough for all their hard work and for being able to pull it off perfectly and exactly how I had envisioned. I would highly recommend Gurley Events for all your wedding planning and coordination needs :)

My husband and I had the honor of working with Gurley Events to plan our wedding day 04.09.16.There are no words to truly describe how grateful I am for Melissa and Assunta! They helped to make our dream day reality. From day one they put my fears at ease; ready to tackle any battle that came our way. They answered all of our questions and even those we didn't think we had! On the day of, I was brought to tears when I saw how beautiful everything looked. We can not say THANK YOU enough for all of your hard work and dedication! Thank you Thank you!!

Having a day of planner made the day run smoothly and I was able to enjoy the day. I felt at peace that someone was with my other vendors making sure everything was how it was to be. Also having them help with the last minute details and contacting all the vendors a week before gave me time to myself. All I can say is it was the best thing I did for my wedding. I talk about it all the time to other people how its a must to have.

Jessica from Gurley Events was outstanding! I have no idea what we would have done without her. She took care of everything the day of our wedding. She was always available via e-mail, text or phone and she gave us so many great ideas that made planning so much easier for us. The last thing you want to do at your wedding is stress out with little things, and Jessica made sure that she took care of everything. She was there for all our guests, she made sure that if anything did come up she would take care of it. Our wedding day was the most beautiful and stress-free day because of Jessica. She is extremely professional and she has such a passion for this. She was there for our rehearsal and she made sure that we were keeping up to date with our wedding plans.

During the wedding, my cake vendor forgot the cake topper for our wedding cake. Jessica was on top of that and she called them and made sure that they delivered it before the cake cutting. Anytime you need anything she gets it. It was amazing!

You will not be disappointed with Gurley Events and you will realize that it was the probably the best choice you made for your wedding day! AMAZING SERVICE!!!!

Don't know what we would have done without them!

We worked with Assunta (mostly) and Melissa from Gurley Events for our October wedding- and we don't know what we would have done without them! We used them for the Month and Day of Coordinating. From the beginning, Assunta was very professional and let me know exactly what I had to do. For the month of October, she was on top of everything and met us for some meetings and the rehearsal. On the day of, Assunta and Melissa were both very organized, made sure the Bridal Party was happy and also let us know what was happening next. They contacted all of our vendors so that everyone was on the same page, and they made a very detailed and organized timeline for our day. I also used them for some decor - and their linens and candles were a beautiful addition to our flowers. They are highly recommended from me!

Hiring Gurley Events for the decor at our wedding was the best choice we could have made. From day one Assunta made us feel comfortable and relaxed. We gave her our ideas and her vision took it to the next level. She is quick to respond to inquiries and pleasant to deal with. I would recommend Gurley Events to everyone I know. Assunta was amazing and we are so happy with the outcome. She made a beautiful day even more beautiful and memorable.

We hired Gurley Events for our wedding on August 14th at the kortright centre and worked closely with Assunta. Assunta was flexible professional and responsive and was very easy to work with. even our bridal party which was large liked her quite a bit. assunta also made great recommendations around the hiring of other vendors.

everything went smoothly and if something didn't I didn't know about it. assunta arrived on time and we had a lot of DIY Decor she met us at the hotel and brought it to the venue to set up. everything looked great. it was helpful that assunta had also made a very detailed schedule.

I would highly recommend Gurley events and I am glad that I made assunta and her assistant part of our day.

Poonam and Ashunta did an excellent job in making sure my day went smoothly! Poonam was very easy to meet with and accommodating, she made sure everything was where it needed to be day of. Our meetings were very organized and put me at ease and I even brought all the decor items to her house and she loaded her car to ensure everything fit! Any problems that arose she was there to fix them and deal with them so I didn't have to! Our rehearsal Poonam and her assistant ensured everyone knew what to do and where to go! Poonam was a pleasure to work with and I would recommend her to any future Brides!

We hired Gurley Events to do the floral and decor for our wedding on July 23rd 2016. From day one Melissa was quick to respond, helpful and always had amazing suggestions. As a busy bride, the quick replies and responsiveness, meant a lot- I had a million things to do/worry about, but Melissa took the floral/decor piece off my list. We had a ~1.5 year engagement and Melissa and team were accommodating and respectful for every little detail change (must have been 20+ changes we made throughout the year) On the day of the wedding, Gurley Events superseded our every expectations and desire! It was beyond anything we could have imaged. The attention to detail and skill transferred into a beautiful church ceremony and gorgeous Atlantis reception. The floral pieces were well beyond what we could have ever asked for and to this day our friends and family still rave about their work. Thank you so much for all your fabulous-ness and class Melissa and team.
