Hi. Itâs me. The human behind Copper River + Co. and your rock through the wedding planning process.
Iâm a former corporate girlie (arenât we all), that healed from the soul sucking industry that is healthcare administration.
I worked as a Project Manager and Practice Administrator for over 6 years. So l guess itâs no surprise that I have an affinity for reviewing contracts, creating/executing project plans, standing up new systems, training departments and building out SOPs. I loved what I did. Truly. But I was lacking a sense of purpose, didnât feel fulfilled creatively, and was tired of being surrounded by people that were solely driven by money.
I tossed around the idea of starting a full service wedding planning and design firm, but in true enneagram 6 fashion, there was no way I was giving up the financial security that corporate job offered. Until I had a really, and I mean really, bad day at work. My husband told me to quit and said that if being a wedding planner would make me happy, then he was 100% on board (love that support for me).
And we made it happen. We got this biz legal and celebrated our very first couple over a year and a half ago. Iâm happy to share that I finally found a career and industry that I love.
When you book Copper River + Co., you get ME. Every step of the way. Working with my couples one on one and creating a genuine connection is what fills my cup. And I pour back into them by crafting an unforgettable wedding experience that is intentional and true to who they are.
In case you are still unsure about who you are booking when you book me, here are a few more facts:
âą Sour gummies are my kryptonite. No joke, I told my SIL that she could pay me in gummies and energy drinks to plan her wedding
âą I have a degree in Marine Biology and I had no intention of ever using it
âą I was a vet tech all through college and found that I thrive under pressure and in emergencies
âą Iâve made my love for National Parks my personality
Anyway, thanks for being here and supporting this dream of mine đ€
Lots of love,
Gabby
