Meet Your Planner
Gillian is the founder of Grand & Wells Events.
When you’re planning one of the most meaningful days of your life, you deserve more than someone who manages a checklist.
You deserve a trusted advisor, a calm presence, and someone who notices the details before anyone else does.
That’s why I founded Grand & Wells Events.
With a background spanning ballet, advertising, consulting, retail, and event planning, I bring a unique combination of creativity, organization, and precision to every celebration. My approach is rooted in thoughtful planning, intentional design, and creating work-life-wedding harmony.
Whether you’re planning an intimate gathering or a full wedding weekend, my goal is simple: to ensure you feel completely present throughout your engagement and every meaningful moment of your wedding day.
