Cannot say enough good things about Collen Gibson! She was the coordinator I chose for my wedding day in Seattle. We hired her for day-of services, and she exceeded expectations in every way. She was organized, hands on, had great tips to keep us on track, and worked great with all my vendors. My family runs a floral business and we work with a lot of coordinators for other events--- she's the best we've seen and I'm so thankful she was there for me on my big day! Would 100% recommend to all brides.

We hired Colleen for our June 2024 wedding with 100 guests to be our Day of Coordinator. She was a GODSEND! From the very first time we spoke through the end of our wedding day, she was absolutely wonderful! She was so helpful throughout the process, even though we only had her as our Day of Coordinator, answering any questions and just so lovely. We could not have done it without her. She helped with rehearsal, all the set up and tear down, and helped keep us both calm and on track all day. She really made it possible for us and our family to truly enjoy our day, rather than being stressed with timelines/logistics/etc. Colleen is absolutely amazing and I will always recommend her for any coordinating/planning anyone could ever need! You will not be disappointed with her! I legitimately cannot say enough good things about her and wish her the absolute best because she absolutely deserves it!! 100000000/10 would recommend!!! I would give her 1000 starts if possible!!!! <3

Had the pleasure of working with Colleen a few days ago at a wedding at Thornewood Castle. As a fellow wedding vendor (photographer), I know how important it is to have a good coordinator. Colleen made the events of the day run smoothly from a client and vendor perspective as well as take on some extra responsibilities throughout the day. I would highly recommend her and am excited to add her to my vendor recommendations.

Colleen was a pleasure to work with. Our entire team had great feedback. We look forward to working with Colleen again!

I was originally not planning on having a wedding coordinator but after talking to a few friends whose daughters were recently married, I am really happy that I did. Colleen was amazing to work with. Very easy to talk to, organized, pro-active in communicating with the vendors and myself. She always responded quickly to questions that I had and provided thoughtful insight to wedding day decisions that needed to be made. She arrived early on the wedding day and had everything set up in time and the ceremony and reception went on without any issues at all. Thanks to Colleen I had a stress free wedding day and I highly recommend her for your wedding day! She is the best!

My husband and I had Colleen as our day-of wedding coordinator in July of 2021, down in Oregon City, when there was a pocket of Covid freedom and we were permitted to have as many guests as we desired. Having a destination wedding, at a newer venue that required we oversee all set-up and take down, was a detail that I totally missed as the Bride. Thankfully, Colleen "wrangled" necessary family members and delegated out tasks with ease. Both set-up and take-down were seamless and the feedback I received from my fam/friends who helped were that Colleen was direct, kind, and everyone understood she was in charge! As the Bride, it was a relief to walk in and see that my vision had come to life, without me even being there. It allowed me more freedom to just enjoy the day, stress-free. My husband and I appreciated Colleen's professionalism and execution of our "wants" but the real bonus is that she's also lovely to work with. At the end of your wedding, you're going to have a friend who treated your event with actual care and investment, not just as a "job." I've already had 1 friend hire Colleen via a referral (and who she met at our wedding!) and will continue to recommend her to anyone looking for a FAB day-of coordinator!

My wedding date was August 25th, 2012. When I started planning my wedding, about a year before, I thought I had everything figured out as far as the day of set up, but I was a complete mess for the week leading up to my wedding. When Colleen said she would be happy to help me for day of coordination, I knew I needed to take her up on it, so I hired her! I cannot even begin to describe the weight that was instantly removed from my shoulders. She pretty much just took the reins and ran with it. She made sure the caterers went where they were supposed to, made sure all the final decorations were properly arranged, etc. She didn't even need to ask me what I needed help with, she just knew what needed to be done, and did it. On top of that, she did it exactly how I would have done it! My day would not have gone as smoothly as it did if it wasn't for Colleen. I would recommend her in a heartbeat. She's a sweetheart, extremely patient, and just amazing at what she does. I cannot thank her enough!! xo!!

I was married in July of 2018 and Colleen was absolutely amazing. She thought of things I didn’t even think of and I was unaware of a catering fiasco until days later! She is worth every penny!

We hired Colleen as our day-of coordinator for our 150 person wedding in July 2021 and it was the best decision! She did everything from the timing of the wedding ceremony, leading my aunts with the table decor and even helping groomsmen pin on their boutonnières (pictured). If I would have had to manage all of the day-of little changes that Colleen did (such as the weather starting to sprinkle even though it was 90 degrees and the caterer being 30 minutes late) I wouldn’t have been able to be fully present. With her help, I was! Everyone needs a Colleen on their wedding day! Her professionalism, sense of urgency and hard working yet joyful personality were what we liked best. We genuinely had no complaints and refer her to all of our friends and family!

I could not recommend Colleen more as your day of coordinator. She is the embodiment of professionalism and I could trust I was in good hands. Colleen met with me a couple weeks prior to my wedding in September (‘21) and I was so impressed by her attention to detail. Planning your wedding is stressful and it was such a relief to work with someone who took that on for me on my wedding day! She handled all the fire drills day of and I didn’t have to worry about a single thing at my wedding other than my husband, friends and family, which is exactly how it should be! If you are considering hiring her, DO IT. You will not regret it!

We used Colleen at both of our daughter's weddings. She is absolutely the best. Colleen is very easy to work with and communicate with. Her top priority at the wedding was taking care of everything so the bride and groom could have the best possible day. She is very diligent in making sure she knows exactly what you want done. Once you tell Colleen to do something, you can cross it off your list and not worry about it. I highly recommend her and cannot say enough good about her!

Having Colleen as the day of coordinator for my wedding was a dream come true. I’m an event planner myself and my biggest fear was that I would spend my wedding day running around with a clipboard. All it took was one meeting with Colleen and an email of details - the weight was lifted from my shoulders. On wedding day, Colleen was on it! She was on point with the timeline, set up, vendors, wrangling groomsman, and making sure key people were where they were supposed to be. The only thing I had to worry about was making it down the aisle without tripping - and after we said ‘I do’ she brought me a cocktail. Such a gem! I was able to relax and enjoy my day because I had Colleen. She truly went above and beyond what I could have ever imagined and I am so grateful for everything she did. She has the ability to stay calm with people pulling her in many different directions. all. day. long. And she does it with a smile on her face!

I’d highly recommend Colleen! She made our wedding day come together seamlessly. We were able to enjoy our day and not have to worry about any of the details or the timeline and truly be in the moment. From coordinating with vendors, anssembling our decorations, managing the timeline, to ensuring we got moments alone to soak it all in. We couldn’t have done it without her!

2023-05-14T18:14:36.104Z

I literally could not have pulled off my wedding without Colleen. She was so calm and collected and made sure our special day ran flawlessly. Like a good wedding photographer captures moments without you realizing they are even there, the same is true of Colleen. She quietly pulls off the unexpected and I didn't have to think about a single detail all day long. I highly recommend hiring Colleen to make your life the day of your wedding stress free!

Hiring Colleen was the best decision I made when my daughter got married. We hired Colleen for day-of coordinating and she seamlessly managed all the details. She coordinated with all the vendors, and gave me the ability to enjoy the day with my daughter and her bridal party. She was professional and kind and took away my stress. She even had an emergency kit to help the bridesmaids with any odds and ends they had forgotten to get through the day. I highly recommend Colleen and would hire her again tomorrow!

Colleen was my wedding day of coordinator who took care of everything at the reception venue; every detail from setup to keeping us on time, picking up garbage and leaving the venue how it was expected to be left. No matter the task, Colleen rolled up her sleeves and dove right in. She went over and beyond what was expected. This service was hands down the best wedding decision I made. Colleen was the most hardworking and made sure my wedding reception was the best it could be for me and my guests. My husband and I met with Colleen at the venue about 4-6 weeks before the wedding but we had communicated via text and email plenty before and after to ensure we were prepared/on the same page. Colleen was a great resource to us as she has done this before and understands what works and what doesn’t. Get a day of coordinator, hire Colleen.
