Kristen Married on 12/07/2019Above and Beyond
Gael exceeded my expectations. I had absolutely no clue how much went into planning and properly executing a wedding, I thought I had everything ready to go and organized and she completely blew my mind (in the best way). I went from thinking I didn't need a coordinator to "what would I have done without one". From the first time we spoke on the phone I knew she was the one! We clicked instantly, and it was like talking to a friend I've known forever. Her attention to all the small details that the average person would never think of are amazing! I kept saying throughout the process that I literally don't know what I would have done without her, especially because we were planning our wedding from across the country. The day went absolutely perfect, and any little hiccups along the way she dealt with such professionalism and made sure it didn't cause any stress on me. From the month before to they day of right before walking down the aisle she put me at complete ease! I can't say enough about Gael and her team. Thank you for everything! -

Natalie D. Married on 15/10/2022Fantastic!
We used Gael for our florals/decor, and day-of coordination and are so glad we did! She was so lovely to work with, did an amazing job with the florals/decor, and was SO much help on the day! There are so many things that I would have missed if she had not been there to stay on top of every detail. She and her assistant really went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Thank you Gael and Fernanda!-

Nikki Married on 03/07/2021Month of Coordination
My now husband and I used Gaels services for our month of coordination but also for florals, decor and also for our cake/cupcakes. From the first meeting Gael was so easy to talk to and provided me with so many different ideas as well as guidance. Despite having to reschedule our date three times due to covid, Gael was so flexible and took so much stress away from us. The timeline Gael created was so detailed and easy to follow and I knew right away that our wedding was going to run smoothly. On the day of Gael and her assistant Lia made our ceremony and reception space look absolutely incredible and everything went on as planned. We were both able just to focus on enjoying the day with our friends and family and I could not have imagined our wedding going any better. I would 150% recommend using Gael for any wedding planning/ coordinating and am so grateful to her and her team. -

Brittany Married on 19/10/2019Absolutely Perfect!
Gael Lobban at True Mate Weddings was the best wedding planner I could've asked for. She went above and beyond in every way. She was the nicest person to work with and she made the whole process easy and enjoyable.
Her vendor contacts were amazing and I would recommend each one.
Gael coordinated everything perfectly every step of the way. She kept everything within budget while staying true to my vision. My guests have been telling me that they're honestly surprised to have actually attended a perfect wedding!

Kendra W. Married on 19/10/2019Incredible!
Having these guys for my wedding was the best decision i could have made. I was always so skeptical about wedding planners, but when i found out i could do a month of i was completely on board. Gael worked with us every step of the way, and made sure that we had a timeline that worked and flowed seamlessly. On the day of we had her amazing assistants Rebecca and ( other name has passed my mind ) coordinating and setting everything up. She was our best friend until the end of the night, and i couldn’t have asked for a better set of ladies for our special day. I was stress free, and loved every second of it. Thank you so much for your services, just like the rest you deserve 100%. -

Janay S. Married on 23/08/2019Most Reliable Day of Coordinator!!
Gael was amazing to work with, I am very type A and super organized and she was so easy to work with, helped to pull pieces together that, despite all of my research, I hadn't even thought of. She honestly saw through every step, every detail of my wedding as if it was her own. She was so easy to talk to and very thorough leading up to attend certain milestones and maintain a high level of communication and openness to ensure we were all on the same page. Her commitment to have to my dream wedding come to life blew me away. You don't feel like a number working with her, you feel like a close friend. Definately recommend Gael and her positive energy 100%. -

Jessica H. Married on 10/08/2019Gael was great!
We hired Gael as our month of coordinator. We had most of the stuff planned but needed help with the final details as well as the day of.
She helped coordinate the rehearsal so everyone was on point. And was very flexible when we needed to meet and go over things.
When she set up our personal decor is was amazing! Exactly how I envisioned it and for that I was thankful. Her assistant on the day of was also great..and for a venue neither one had worked at before you couldn't even tell. They worked well with all of the other vendors and kept everything running smoothly!
She even serenaded a song for us which was an unexpected bonus!
Highly recommend her services. -
