As all the other reviews state, Gray is a 5 star class act I’d recommend to friends and family without hesitation. With that out of the way, here’s the story of how Gary saved our wedding:
My wife and I decided to have our wedding on a cruise s...hip in Boston. We worked with RCG (a 3rd party company) who booked the wedding package and took payment, then the wedding was with Royal Caribbean, and then Gary Fine and crew coordinated the whole thing that day and made it happen. Full disclosure, we did not choose Gary, he was assigned by RCG/Royal Caribbean. Importantly, the RCG folks did not put us in contact with Gary until October 8, 2019, only 5 days (!!) before the 10/13 wedding. My wife and I were at our wits end dealing with the RCG and Royal. We were getting very little, detailed, “day of the wedding” information and conflicting answers when we got any.
When I was finally put in touch with Gary, he was well aware the wedding was less than a week away. I told Gary immediately that the cruise folks had left us lost and unclear as to how everything was going to go. The first thing Gary did was suggest a call with my wife and I that night. No waiting, no I’ll call you back, no tomorrow; he took time to meet with us that very night. He was so empathetic with our situation; he knew we were frustrated. We had a soo many questions. Gary, who has done this a million times, started the first call by asking my wife to “ask away”. Not for one moment did Gary become impatient with her, he just kept telling her to ask more questions, he was so patient.
Prior to talking to Gary, we couldn’t even imagine the wedding happening, never mind being happy with the outcome. After talking to Gary that first night, we could see it happening, how it would go, and we finally began to wrap our head around it. The next night, we had another meeting with Gary, this time even longer. Long story short, on October 7 we had no clue how it was even going to happen at all, and my wife was totally freaking out. By October 10, after a few longggg calls, we finally got the feeling that this is going to happen, without a hitch, and be something special and memorable. I give Gary full credit for saving our wedding. The thing about Gary: he knows what he’s doing. He picked up the “pieces” that Royal Caribbean and RCG left (including a confused and frustrated bride/groom), and put us back together, then pulled off the wedding absolutely 100% flawlessly.
You can read the other reviews too, I agree with them all: 5 stars, perfect, beautiful, intimate, excellent, etc etc but I really wanted to tell the story of our experience with Gary saving the day. Yes, I’m sure he is excellent if he works with you for months in advance. But in our case, Gary had only 5 days from our first contact to “I do” and wow did he come through for us. You really see people’s true colors under pressure; and Gary is professional, an expert in his field, and works extremely well under pressure. I'd say he thrives under pressure actually, and in our situation Gary is exactly who we were hoping for.
