[@mzinformation8602]

HONEY!!! This wedding was beyond beautiful. Ot was romantic and dreamy. The lights gave off dancing under the stars. Gorgeous job 🥰

[@GabbyPinkerton]

Thank you SO much!! We had a blast planning it and the details were important to the couple so we hope we made them proud!

[@CalderoHechicero29]

This wedding was so pretty, you did such a good job!

[@GabbyPinkerton]

Thank you so much, that means a lot!!

[@Tinuviel788]

Thanks a lot for these, love all the videos you post about what it's like to be a wedding planner. Would never have thought a wedding planner needs to clean up the petals afterwards, oh wellXD It came out beautifully, a lovely wedding.

[@GabbyPinkerton]

Thanks so much for your kind words! Haha yup sometimes we have to pick up petals! Other times florists or even the venue crew will clean up but in this case it was me 😊

[@Tinuviel788]

@@GabbyPinkerton That's fascinating to know, haha, really, I'd never have guessed! Looking forward to more videos from you, your channel is such a treasure trove of information and inspiration❤️ Best of luck with your business❤️

I ordinarily don't like anything that is an "outdoor rustic" look or all white (ie: no vibrant colors) but this was so pretty and intimate. I really like how you paid attention to detail, like even covering up the cart with the plastic drop to the food preparers wearing masks and gloves. AT first I thought that the dance floor would be too small but it was the perfect size. 😊 Everything was so well planned, elegant and pretty.

[@GabbyPinkerton]

Oh wow thanks so much! Glad you noticed all those details because sometimes they seem small but make a huge difference!

[@itsyogirlkass8358]

wow this is beautiful

[@slyrhythm6471]

Thank you

[@GabbyPinkerton]

You're welcome! So glad you liked it!

The ending was so sad😂😂😂...beautiful Video

[@GabbyPinkerton]

The flower petals 😭 the reality of being a wedding planner haha

[@melodymartinez7231]

I love the size of the tent , do you know the size ?

[@GabbyPinkerton]

I want to say it was 40x60!

[@rachaelshea133]

Where is the best place to source greenery for hanging in tents ?

[@GabbyPinkerton]

Definitely go through a florist. They will get the best rates from the flower market since they have wholesaler licenses

[@saraorella835]

Beautiful 🎉

[@GabbyPinkerton]

Thanks Sara!

[@saraphillips]

Hey! Do you know what kind of tent this is? What it’s called?

[@GabbyPinkerton]

Its called a pole tent!

[@saraphillips]

@@GabbyPinkerton thank you so much! Really appreciate it!! 🤍

[@jennagudinas6565]

Get stickem for your candles! It’s at Hobby Lobby!

[@GabbyPinkerton]

Oh thank you! I might just throw that in my emergency kit for next time!

[@luisgerardogutierrezbaraja7682]

just watch your video I love the flower, whats the name of the green leaves on the outside of the tent? great job!

[@GabbyPinkerton]

Thanks Luis! Gosh I would have to ask the florist but maybe Ruscus?

[@nikigerrins9007]

Beautiful event! What kind of chandeliers were those?

[@GabbyPinkerton]

Thank you! I can’t remember the exact name but we rented them from White Door Event Rentals and I bet they are still listed on their website.

[@Msam109]

How big was the tent

[@GabbyPinkerton]

I think it was 30x40

[@lanaharrell3256]

Is white door events from Memphis, TN?

[@GabbyPinkerton]

Yes! They have an office here in Nashville too. Have you worked with them?

[@mahakamran5930]

Hi there! What type of lights are you guys using?

[@GabbyPinkerton]

These are bistro lights or “market lights”

[@GabbyPinkerton]

Actually I thought about this question again and I should ask you which lights you were referring to haha? The little lights that cover the ceiling of the tent which I guess I would call a twinkle light blanket or the hanging ones above the dinner tables? Those ones are more like chandelier type lights.

[@marineeg04]

Is there a way you calculate how many feet of lights are needed to do the ceiling of the tent? Looks amazing!

[@GabbyPinkerton]

@marineeg04 great question! This is something I ask my rental team to handle and why we always make sure to do walkthroughs with them!

[@mariahandezra4392]

How much does something like this cost? It’s so beautiful!

[@GabbyPinkerton]

On average we estimate our weddings to be about $1000 per person. Of course that can vary but it’s our best guess when estimating budgets for our clients.

[@sophiasalvati5423]

@@GabbyPinkerton $1000 per wedding guest? Is this a typo?

[@GabbyPinkerton]

Not a typo! Most of our weddings are between $600-$1000 per guest once we add everything up.

[@valsballoonsandbusiness]

@@GabbyPinkerton Makes sense. Even though it was a backyard wedding, it still looked expensive. Beautiful job 😍

[@kyaraella]

Id like to do something very similar to this. Is it possible to do with $20,000?

[@GabbyPinkerton]

I’ll be honest and say I don’t think so. Again it just depends on what you are doing in terms of catering and how many guests you have but the rentals alone I think we’re about 14,000 if I remember correctly.

[@gillianlewis4834]

Honestly I hate to say it but they say the rain in good luck.

[@GabbyPinkerton]

You’re right! I think a little sprinkle doesn’t hurt at all as long as you’re prepared for it :)
