Testimonials

  • Kathryn + Matthew

    “Gabby is an absolute gem. I got diagnosed with cancer half way through planning and the wedding simply could not have happened without her! She kept everything on track during my treatments, and created a beautiful wedding straight out of my dreams all on her own. Her communication and professionalism is unmatched and her relationship with local vendors ensures a smooth wedding day.”

    Olivia & Carter

    “Where do I even begin? The only reason that I didn’t back out of having a wedding was because of Gabby. She knew exactly when I was feeling overwhelmed and needed her to take the wheel. Our venue was not a structured wedding venue so we had to plan every single detail and rent every single part of the wedding. Gabby made sure that everything was done ahead of time. She always encouraged my wacky ideas and we found ways to make everything work out the way that I had hoped it would. We had a wedding with 230 guests and she made the organization process so easy and simple. She is unbelievably organized and scheduled every vendor meeting and gave us tips and ideas throughout the whole process. She gracefully handled any issues with our vendors and venue. I was texting her almost every single night in the months leading up to our wedding. She set up a huge tent exactly how I had imagined it would. Gabby is an angel in disguise!”

    “Gabby and her team were amazing! My wedding day flowed so smoothly thanks to her. Everything was on time and my decor was a dream (and I didn’t give her much to work with.) She is a natural at her job and would recommend to anyone!”

    “Gabby and McKenna were amazing for our day of wedding coordination! Gabby is so skilled and our wedding felt pretty seamless despite some unprecedented weather.

    Kelsey & Matt

    “If you are looking for a wedding coordinator or event planner, hire Gabby! She is extremely professional with amazing attention to details. Her communication was great and she helped to keep me calm and organized from start to finish. She had so many ideas, it was as if she was reading my mind. The decor the day of the wedding was better than I could have imagined and I would have been totally lost without her. You can tell she absolutely loves what she does and really takes the time to get to know you and your style. She made my entire wedding planning process so easy and stress free. I cannot recommend her enough!”

    Kate & Jason

    “My wife and I 100% recommend retaining Gabby for your event! We collaborated with Gabby on our wedding (May '23) - she is a joy to work with, and helped us to create a wedding that really felt like "us" - an event we'll remember for a lifetime. Gabby made us feel confident every step of the way - the way she organized the vendors was seamless, and Gabby had fantastic insights and ideas, no doubt drawn from her considerable experience, that helped us to solve challenges and make the celebration even better. On the day-of, Gabby was constantly connected with key folks, and took on some activities herself where needed; she ensured everything ran smoothly, which gave us the peace of mind to really enjoy the day. We wanted to take this opportunity to thank Gabby, and encourage everyone reading to give her a call!”

    “Hiring Gabby Roush of Empire Events was the best decision I could have made for my daughter’s recent wedding. From the very beginning, Gabby worked with us on every aspect of the wedding. She had a great eye for design, theme, color, decor and activities.
    She provided all vendors with a timeline that worked out perfectly.
    Gabby maintained contact with vendors throughout the process and throughout the wedding day. Gabby allowed us to sit back and soak in everything the day of the wedding.”
