She was super communicative from day 1, was genuinely interested in learning about us as individuals, and making sure that we (a gay nonbinary interfaith couple... a little bit of everything, you could say!) felt included and seen in our ceremony. We even got to pick some of our own flowers from her garden! She is incredibly multi-talented, and I have the absolute highest of recommendations for her in all categories - I can't think of any way in which it could've been a better experience.

We have been to many weddings where the photographers are constantly blocking guests views and just seem to be in the way. People said they hardly even noticed Jaclyn.

Jaclyn was the most reasonable photographer we spoke with, and her package included different types of photo albums or canvas prints, in addition to free downloads for our guests, and rights to the pictures for us. We have been nothing but happy with her.

We planned our wedding in Plattsburgh (at Valcour) from Los Angeles, which could have been very stressful, but Kyle was always available to speak with via email or phone.

We used their clear tent and outside dance floor set up, and it turned out beautifully--even better than what we had imagined. Their service was also amazing! The actual wedding day was very windy and two of our tent chandeliers' power cords came loose, so Kyle and the Fosters' team drove up to the venue and fixed everything seamlessly and without second thought -- it was truly exceptional service! We are so happy with our choice in Fosters' and highly recommend them for anyone planning a Plattsburgh wedding!

Danielle took ALL of that stress away and delivered the most amazing day. I didn't have to worry about finding vendors and interviewing/getting quotes, she was able to help me with that which was so appreciated. Trying to plan this day from states away would have been near impossible without the help from Grandest Gatherings. Danielle has such style and a mind for design and colors. I wanted to be surprised the day of and she completely delivered. Our picnic was stunning, she thought of every little detail even down to having a sleeping pad under the blanket to make sure we were comfortable. As if having someone plan out your elopement and hiking about 3 miles round trip while lugging a charcuterie board and pillows wasn't enough, she's such a friendly bubbly person! I felt like we were friends right away. I'm currently looking for reasons to have her plan another event because it was that magical.

For more details as to why Danielle is one of the best humans around, please read on... After our wedding was postponed due to the pandemic, and our first attempt at an international elopement was canceled, we decided to elope in the Catskills.  With six weeks notice, Danielle was able to help us coordinate and design an incredible elopement, including the ceremony, brunch, and dinner.  Leading up to our elopement, we were in close communication with Danielle, discussing our priorities and what type of design we were looking for.  We went back and forth on design elements, and she welcomed our input.  Danielle was able to curate an elopement based on our budget and wants and was genuinely excited during the entire process.  She wanted this day to be just as memorable as we did.   Danielle coordinated with vendors on our behalf, coordinating a greenery runner for dinner with the existing florist that we were already working with for our bouquet and boutonniere. She found vendor options for brunch and dinner, taking into account our food preferences, and presented us with a wide range to choose from based on our budget.  She was also able to use her network to find us the perfect charcuterie board to compliment our dinner.   The day before our elopement, Danielle and our photographer scouted for the perfect brunch location.  We're told that she cleaned algae and pools of water off of the designated brunch rock at the waterfall so that it would be dry the next day (it had rained the day before).  The day of our elopement, Danielle lugged everything for brunch down to the waterfall (she's a beast!) and had it all set up for us when we arrived after our mountain ceremony.  She also kindly shooed people away from the spot that she had so meticulously picked out the day before.  Danielle was in constant communication with our photographer, so that she knew exactly when we would be arriving.   While the design of our brunch was absolutely stunning (plating of food, candles, pillows, blankets, even a comfy pad to sit on), it was the little touches that really impressed us.  Danielle got us fresh coffee when the existing coffee from our brunch vendor had just sat out too long and had some additional surprises in store.  She picked out a location that gave us the most amazing view of the waterfall while enjoying chicken and waffles and prosecco.  A few hours after brunch, Danielle arrived at our Airbnb to start arranging everything for our dinner.  We left for a sunset hike and Danielle went to work.  She completely redesigned the patio of our Airbnb (with the host's permission) for the most intimate and perfect elopement dinner, including moving a very large gas grill, table, patio furniture, etc.  She even restrung the host's bistro lights so that it was a continuous line of lit bulbs with the burned out lights out of view! Danielle ordered our dinner for us on our elopement day and helped us pivot when the original restaurant closed for the day unexpectedly.  I can't forget to mention that Danielle is a serious fire whisperer!  She started fires for us the night before our elopement and the night of and took over maintaining it on our elopement so that we could relax and enjoy the evening.  She can seriously do it all. While we had a schedule of events for the day, the communication between Danielle and our photographer allowed for the timeline to shift so that to us, everything seemed to occur seamlessly even when we were "off schedule" by an hour, which I know is no easy task.  Danielle surprised us with so many additional touches on our elopement day, surprises that I feel I shouldn't list so that future clients get to experience the same joy that we did when we discovered the additional touches. I'm betting that she also did so many additional little things that we had no idea about. And it honestly felt like we were hanging out with a friend that was busting their butt to give us the most amazing elopement day.  Seriously. Danielle is absolutely amazing and made our elopement so incredibly special and memorable.  Stop reading this review and go book Grandest Gatherings for your next event NOW! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!?
