Testimonials
We enlisted Events by Gayle to oversee our Fund for Women and Girls Annual Celebration, entrusting her with the role of event planner and project manager. This year posed a unique challenge as we transitioned from a luncheon format, which had been the tradition for 25 years, to a cocktail party held at the Greenwich Country Club. With finesse and expertise, Gayle navigated through our objectives, carefully analyzing our budget, fundraising targets, and attendee expectations. Her strategic guidance led us to a triumphant event, where we exceeded our fundraising goal.
Beyond her core responsibilities in event planning, Gayle took charge of vendor negotiations, coordinated seamlessly with the venue, and collaborated effectively with our contracted partners supporting the event. She helped lead planning committee meetings, ensuring clear communication and alignment of objectives. Additionally, Gayle meticulously reviewed and refined all marketing and print materials, ensuring a cohesive presentation of our event.​

My bride and I came to you with a very long list of highly unique requests, for our multi-tented wedding to be held at home in connecticut. With a unique setting, some humorous parking challenges, 80+ guests, live music, and a host of other complexities, you orchestrated a masterful event, where every guest left raving about the experience. For this and so much more, THANK YOU!

We would like to... acknowledge Gayle and the amazing work she did for us. In a nutshell, our company put on a rather large, 3-day event for our customers from around the world in Greenwich, CT this spring. It required a tremendous amount of planning, details, and logistics. No easy task. Gayle went above and beyond the call of duty. She was a mission critical piece of the puzzle in ensuring that this big event went off without a hitch. The feedback we received from our attendees was overwhelmingly, off-the-charts, positive. Gayle is a consummate professional—intelligent, calm and focused with laser like precision on getting the job done right. Gayle did such a remarkable job that we’re working with her again on the same event next year!

What can I say about Gayle, wonderful, amazing, a hero! Honestly words are not enough. Gayle was our wedding month- of- coordinator. We wanted a smaller (100ppl) back yard- type wedding, very "diy". How hard can that be right? We thought we had it all together until the moment we sat down with Gayle and realized we weren't quite there. The amount of behind the scenes work, moving parts, and machinery that goes into making a wedding happen takes an army, for our wedding. that was Gayle and her partner. Not only did she provide a timeline, endless communication between our vendors, supplies, and decor but her and her partner provided the love and labor to piece our day together. She went above and beyond our expectations. 10/10 recommend!

Gayle is amazing!!! She has hosted two events for me, and my clients and I were nothing other than thrilled! Gayle has a real attention to detail. She's very creative & engaging and puts her all into everything she does. She researches thoroughly and she comes up with the least expensive options possible, and gives you plenty of choice: The end result is WOW! I have been so pleased with the results that I have already added a third Events by Gayle event to the calendar: Hire Gayle, you won't be disappointed!

I love working with Gayle from Events by Gayle. She has done so many events at our Pavilions, but one that stands out in my mind is Callen & Rich's Wedding at Jacky Durrell Pavilion. Gayle totally transformed our pavilion to fit these guests's specifications and the results were truly beautiful. Gayle can walk into an empty event space and has no problem envisioning beautiful parties, that can be as low-key or glamorous as you like! Easy to work with, prompt and professional... looking forward to many future events with Events by Gayle!

Gayle has been instrumental in helping me and my fiancé plan our destination wedding in April 2017. We are from the New York area and I knew I wanted a beach wedding. I originally set my sights on NC and tried to reach out myself. I soon found myself overwhelmeed and reached out to Gayle for help. She helped us find venues that suited our taste, while also showing us options that we hadn't considered before. We finally settled on a wonderful location in Jacksonville, FL and I could not be more thrilled. So far we have taken one trip to Florida to secure the venue and other vendors. Gayle made appointments for us and sent us an itinerary that made the whole process seamless and left us more time to enjoy the sunshine! As we finish up the remaining details, I look forward to continuing to work with Gayle to plan the perfect wedding. Gayle is friendly, flexible and accomodating, with an abundance of resources and great ideas! I would highly recommend her to anyone for both local and destination events!

Gayle Szuchman is an amazing event planner! You can see photos of my event (on Facebook), of my son's Bar Mitzvah, with the Fedora hat logo that Gayle helped create. It was a magical party with no detail missed and went off without a single hitch, incredible for an event of such a size and so many things to be included. I don't know why I haven't used her for everything I have ever planned. Organized, thoughtful, helpful, Big Giant Wow!

She also made some great suggestions while always being respectful of my ideas. My party was a great success and I give a lot of the credit to Gayle!!
