Willow Weddings NYC Wedding planning, design, and coordination in New York City specializing in your personal vision. It all started with a willow tree.

When my family and I planted it, I was eleven years old and the trees was the same height as me. Standing next to the sapling, I told my parents that one day, I would be married underneath it. Twenty years later, my husband and I married beneath its picturesque branches. It was the most magical day of my life and reflected my husband and I as a couple perfectly. We planned each detail together ver

y carefully and took great joy in making it more like a party than a scripted event. My approach to event planning is similar. I am interested in facilitating your personal vision in a meaningful way. I understand that each person, each couple, is different, and your event should reflect your unique experiences. You should also know that my path to event planning was very personal. Growing up, my parents were - and still are - the ultimate hosts, infusing beauty, creativity, and love in to each detail from the moment guests walk through the door. Above all, my family taught me how to make others feel at ease and welcomed at an event. From this creative home I went on to pursue vocal performance at the Eastman School of Music and continued as a freelance performer in New York City. From the theater I bring an understanding of process and preparation necessary to make events run smoothly. Auditioning made me self-motivated and highly organized. Alongside performing, I worked for 4 years as the New York Showroom Concierge and Front Desk Coordinator at Herman Miller. I was surrounded by beautiful design and had the opportunity to plan corporate events hosting some of the top design firms in NYC. Herman Miller rounded out my knowledge with an eye for design and attention to detail. An event can’t run smoothly without someone managing the details. When it comes to your events, I will juggle the overwhelming details, so that you don’t have to. With each taste of event planning I came to love it even more, which led me here, helping others plan their special events. Truly it would be my pleasure to use my experience to help you create a stere-free wedding day that reflects you individually and as a couple.

T I M E is a construct

Anyone having trouble with time management these days?

Under normal circumstances, I am not a particularly “routine” based kind of person. Other than a handful of weekly obligations, I am at the whim of whatever fills in the time. That being said, I like a full schedule and knowing what the day is going to bring!

After a foggy couple of weeks, I went back to my trusty notebook to set intentions for the day outlining a basic schedule and bullet point tasks to accomplish - keeping things very manageable and setting reasonable goals for the day. This also helps for managing a very busy 4yo as well!

How are you managing time?

Puzzle piece es**rt cards was one of my favorite details from Lauren and Shaun’s wedding!

When guests took their seats for dinner, they had to work together with others at the table to put a puzzle together - it would reveal a significant place or aspect of their courtship!

Kind words from L+S! It was a delight to share in their wedding weekend. As ever, I am so grateful for the feedback from clients - we are here for YOU when it comes to your big day!

“Our wedding day was seamless and perfect and there is one person who deserves credit for that: Gillian. Leading up to the wedding she proactively coordinated things behind the scenes without bothering us -- a massive help in the busy weeks before a wedding.

We got married a couple hours from the city, and Gillian spent the entire weekend with us, helping Friday night and Sunday as well as working a very loooong day on Saturday to make sure everything was flawless. She discreetly fixed little issues that came up -- things we didn't notice at the time and only heard about after the fact. If it hadn't been for her (and her awesome assistant Kiah), we would have had to deal with a lot more headaches.

We are incredibly grateful to Gillian for taking care of everything and allowing us to be carefree, relaxed, and overjoyed during our wedding weekend, which was truly the best weekend of our lives.

We interviewed a lot of wedding planners before choosing Gillian. She stood out immediately as super organized and yet completely calming and stress-free. We cannot recommend Gillian enough. She's the only wedding planner we've ever had, obviously, but in comparing notes with friends we are confident she is the best!
