I had the absolute pleasure of working with Gina for a large-scale wedding in September 2026 with about 200 guests. As the Catering Director at Salty’s on Alki, I’ve worked with ma...
ny planners over the years and Gina truly stood out. Working with her was wonderful!
She made the entire planning and event process seamless with her organization, professionalism, and attention to detail. Despite the complexity of hosting the ceremony up north at a beautiful church and the reception at Salty’s, she handled the logistics flawlessly. Gina ensured all décor and setup were completed before guests arrived, and everything looked absolutely stunning.
Her communication, punctuality, and creative eye made the event a joy from start to finish. I was incredibly impressed by her work and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a planner who can bring both beauty and order to a large event.

keep all planning with our venue’s in-house team, we are so grateful we crossed paths with Gina.
We met with her twice, and her expertise, thoughtful feedback, and reassurance were incredibly helpful as we reviewed our venue’s initial proposal and started shaping our vision. She is personable, down to earth, and has a calming presence that immediately puts you at ease.

Gina planned our entire wedding, and I couldn’t be more grateful for her. At the time, she was juggling life bicoastally and had just planned her son’s wedding a month before mine....
Yet, when she heard how stressed I was about my big day, she didn’t hesitate to offer her time, expertise, and kindness to take the load off my shoulders.
I wasn’t the type of girl to dream about my wedding growing up, so I didn’t even have a clear vision of what I wanted. But Gina worked her magic. She asked a few questions, had me share a Pinterest board (I sent it with just four photos), and turned those into the wedding of my dreams—far beyond anything I could have imagined! From the stunning decorations and flowers to the food and music, every detail was flawless.
And here’s the truly remarkable part—Gina accomplished all this while having a torn meniscus and heading into surgery just a week later. Her dedication, creativity, and warmth shone through every step of the way. Gina made my wedding perfect, and I’ll forever be thankful for her.
