Gabriela Pilar Events

awlessly helped us bring to life. We always felt so supported and heard by Gabi. After the wedding, I was genuinely sad when I realized I wouldn’t be interacting with her as often as we were while planning! She is damn good at her job and truly just a really great person. Our guests are still raving about how it was the best wedding they have ever been to. We cannot recommend Gabi enough. Hire her and her team!

credibly organized, insightful and skilled and she made sure all of our questions were answered quickly and with authority. My husband and I keep joking that we wish we could have been guests at our own wedding, because Gabi made our big day an absolute dream for all of our guests. If you're looking for a wedding coordinator, look no further! HIRE GABI! I miss working with her and I'm thankful to have made a friend for life.

e wedding. On the day of the wedding, she had a complete crew, impeccably dressed, wearing headsets. Each person was assigned to a particular task and/or person. She made sure the event ran smoothly and my husband and I enjoyed our special day. No detail was left unnoticed. Gabi also helped us incorporate our pets into the wedding. She even grabbed the pups during the ceremony after they walked us down the aisle. (I highly recommend a pet sitter for the day of the event as well.) Gabi really is the event coordinator extraordinaire! Gabi also did our floral design for the wedding. We had our wedding at Carondelet House and Gabi was familiar with the location and knew right away what worked best in terms of design. Her vision within our budget was extraordinary. I would highly recommend Gabi.

pletely calm. Hiring her to coordinate was one of the best vendor decisions we made. She made everything perfect and was able to execute and decorate to make our vision come to life with minimal direction.

ble bumps in the road arose, she handled them with grace, all while remaining unflappable. 6 star service - rest easy knowing you’re in the best of hands.

ganized and scheduled things as early as possible which minimized stress during the planning process. She is a total wedding professional and often provided solutions for crucial small details that we would have otherwise missed. Her positive energy and calming presence were very much appreciated, especially on the big day! She totally got our vision and executed on the wedding design flawlessly. Every detail was beautiful and all of the vendors she suggested knocked it out of the park.

good sense of humor and is very dependable and responsive. I highly recommend her services!

e out how convey in words just how great she is. It’s not possible! All I can say... is that I wouldn’t have been able to do any of it without her. And if you think you have all your wedding plans dialed in... I promise you that you don’t. There are a lot of details to think about, such as timelines, family photo shot lists, venue logistics, etc. and you DO NOT want to be running around on your wedding day trying to help your vendors. She made sure that Braden and I enjoyed every second of our wedding day. If you want to truly experience your wedding day and be in the moment... HIRE GABI. Her assistance is worth any amount of money. What she gave back to us (a day that we will remember forever) is priceless.

sion-makers, we couldn't help but feel that we were making Gabi's job harder--wrong! She was very patient and guided us every step of the way. My family loved her professionalism and even received compliments from guests for the overall atmosphere, aesthetics, and flower arrangements. Weddings give me anxiety--especially my own, but we would definitely do it all over again if it meant we got to work with Gabi. Thanks again!!

beyond grateful for everything her and her team did. The Bridezilla team was there to help me every step of the way. Venue prep, dress fluffed, veil holder, they made sure we ate and drank enough water, made sure marriage license was signed, coordinated the timeline and all vendors, they did everything and made sure everything went flawlessly. Every person I saw that night commented on how amazing my flowers and arbor were. I cannot thank them enough for making my wedding one of the best days of my life!

our daughters wedding and all the joys that come with seeing your daughter get married! And there is no price you can put on that! Gabi was on top of everything, making sure all the details (and there are so many more than you can imagine!) were managed not only on the day of the wedding but for the 3 months before. She kept us on time and organized in all the details, worked with all the vendors and was priceless the day of the wedding. At one point I noticed the cake topper had fallen off the top of the cake (it was too heavy) and broke. I showed it to Gabi and next thing I knew I saw it back on the table, glued like it was never broken! Because of her experience she is prepared for it all. You will not be sorry if you hire Gabi as she will help make your wedding day as magical as it should be!!

e call we had with her started with a check-in about how we were feeling about everything and then we would dive into the details after that! As two notorious procrastinators, Sean and I were thankful to have Gabi to keep us accountable for deadlines and tasks that needed to be done in a timely manner. Gabi was so organized and made the whole wedding planning process stress-free! She is also very knowledgeable about all things wedding-related and gave us great advice on florals, vendor gratuity, linens and more. She also made a trip down to San Diego to walk through the church and the venue together beforehand. Gabi made sure that she understood our hopes for the vibe and vision for the day and it could not have been executed more perfectly. I walked into the reception venue and I was blown away!! Everything was perfect beyond my imagination thanks to Gabi and her team! Aside from the amazing decor, it was also so freeing to not worry about checking in with every single vendor on the day of the wedding. I truly felt thatSean and I, my parents, and our bridal party were all able to really just be present to each other on the day of the wedding and totally soak all the little moments of the day up without worrying about all of the event details. Gabi created a timeline for the day to keep everything running smoothly, but was flexible when things needed to be adjusted last minute and I really appreciated her adaptability. I would 100% recommend Bridezilla events to any of my friends who are getting married . We can't thank Gabi and her team enough for everything they did to make our wedding the best day ever! Jessica & Sean

d us accountable to deadlines and work within our budget. We also wanted someone with a good eye, that could help us with our wedding design and mix traditional with non-traditional elements in a seamless way. Gabi was everything we could have wanted and more. She took the time to understand our vision and she executed it flawlessly. On top of that, she kept us calm throughout the whole process. Our original wedding venue was destroyed in a wild fire the same day we planned to send out save the dates. Within 48 hours, Gabi had a list of new venues for us to look at and had been in contact with all of our vendors to check their availability in case our date needed to change. It did, and we only lost one vendor total that Gabi found a replacement option for within days. On our wedding day, we didn't have to worry about a thing and were able to enjoy every moment of it. Gabi - Thank you SO much for planning us our dream wedding. You're the best. - Amanda & Daniel

hen it came to my vision for the wedding. It also made me really happy to support a woman in her growing business because we need more of them! Can I get a heck yea! I enlisted Gabi with coordination from 8 weeks out (includes day of), plus design, plus florals! She was my right hand almost the entire planning process and I LOVED working with her on a really special day. It’s so so important to pick someone like Gabi who will be reliable, deliver beautifully, tell you kindly her real opinion so you don’t get stuck down the Pinterest rabbit hole, AND be more orangized than you could hope for! Our wedding turned out beautifully! The day of I didn’t worry about a thing! Gabi and her team took care of everything! We used the ceremony space for the reception so the flip during cocktail hour was a big undertaking but Gabi made sure my dream came to life! I could not recommend Gabi enough to be there for you during this special moment of your life.

of our concerns was the budget we had. She made sure to offer a great package based on our needs and our budget. She was available to us all the time and sent us weekly emails to make sure we didn't miss anything. Needless to say, our wedding day was perfect, magical, and memorable! Stress free for sure and ALL thanks to Bridezilla Events! An event this large is very demanding, but Gabriela made sure we had a worry free, wedding day! We HIGHLY recommend Bridezilla Events for wedding coordination! We are EXTREMELY thankful for her services

day of, the only regret I have was not having her from the start! From the very first meeting she was warm, welcoming, funny, and understanding. I was about to lose my mind trying to tie everything together and she just looked at me smiled and said “Don’t worry I got it”. She really took the time to hear our story, paid attention to our vision, and like the fairy godmother she is brought it all to life. Leading up to the wedding she responded quickly to the millions of questions I had , eased every worry , and kept my husband and I sane. The day of I can honestly say I didn’t have a single worry, not an ounce of stress. We had a large and pretty rowdy wedding party (18) and she was able to keep everyone on track and ready at all times. Everything went so smooth and according to plan. If there was ever anything to worry about, before I could even begin to worry, she’d look at me and say “No, don’t worry, I’ll take care of it.” And she did! Gabriela/ Bridezilla Events truly made our special day that much better. We were in the best hands with her. No one else compares. Thank you Gabriela for making sure our day was everything we had wished and more.

up the wedding, and everything went off with ease. I think Gabriela had her first taste of a 'Groomzilla' working with me, but she handled everything with patience and grace, and if it wasn't for her I would have ultimately lost my mind. My vendors loved working with her, our venue loved her, our wedding party love and respected her. A HUGE plus is that she does florals as well. Listen - a wedding is a very exciting time, but it IS going to be stressful, and I would 110% recommend Gabriela to help alleviate that stress so you can sleep at night with ease.

T EVER! I cannot recommend her enough. you will not be disappointed! She is a person that truly loves what she does and is very talented. Very professional from beginning to the end!

over, because we clicked and she was instantly helpful/knowledgeable. Leading up to the wedding, Gabby was gave me wedding 101 (I was clueless), helped piece together missing pieces/vendors, provided insightful answers/solutions to questions & roadblocks and created and ensured I was set up for a stress-free, smooth day. The day of our wedding, I was blown away. She coordinated every detail and design element beautifully, and made the whole vibe magical. She truly delivered beyond my expectations, and can't imagine what I would of done with out her!

shared her ideas we began to talk about Gabi’s other role as event planner. This discussion then lead to what she would do as a “day of coordinator”. I thought that is just what I need; I wanted to enjoy the day just as much as everyone else and sure didn’t want to be “that mother of the bride”. I knew my husband and I made the right choice. Meetings along the way Gabi was calm and informative; giving her suggestions whenever we asked, and she guided us along the way so gently and sweetly. Gabi was a rock star during the rehearsal dinner and even though we knew the reception set up wasn’t going to be started until 3:00 the day of the wedding (and the wedding was at 3:00) she dashed away from the church and headed with her crew to finish the florals. No sign of stress and anxiety. The day of the wedding was the true tale of what Gabi was! REMARKABLE!!! Everything went off without a hitch! My daughter and son in law spent a lot of time taking fabulous pictures but soon my daughter had the “hangry” thing going on. When we got to the reception, Gabi already had the word from the photographer and had plates of food ready for the couple! The reception was nothing more than beautiful. The details were breathtaking, and I know the day will forever be thought of fondly in many ways. Gabi and her team were the icing on the cake! Thank you, thank you, thank you! You bonded with our family and will forever be considered a dear friend! You can’t trust just anyone with the most important day for your daughter and I’m so glad that you were the one we chose and trusted!

y. She was also very accepting and open to our ideas and it was obvious that her goal was to make us happy and give us the wedding we imagined.

ing, etc. The whole day of experience was flawless - literally, our dream come true. We were so impressed with everything Gabriela was able to help us with, we would have been totally lost without her. We also worked with Gabriela for some of our table centerpieces, ceremony decor and corsages/boutonnières which were gorgeous. She was able to execute our whole vision perfectly. We cannot recommend her enough.

first to want to call me back out of the five or so planners I had emailed. She took both of mine and my husband's ideas and made them a beautiful reality. She worked with both of us on our nontraditional destination wedding and always was available to answer any questions or concerns we had. She made the wedding day go smoothly and everyone said it was the best wedding they had ever been to. To top it off, she also did the florals for the wedding and they were so beautiful and amazing. If you want to have your dream wedding come true, hire Gabi and she will make it happen!!

ny problems. Having a trustworthy and savvy wedding planner such as Gabriela brought peace of mind to us on our wedding day because we had to worry about nothing! Gabriela was there every step of the way to make sure our wedding ran smoothly and we got to enjoy our special day without a worry.

throughout the whole planning process, and was there giving us guidance and helping us the entire time. And the day came out absolutely gorgeous, breathtaking, and so very special, all thanks to her amazing coordination and planning. Alll the details I had wanted and we had talked about during our vision meeting came to life and looked FLAWLESS!! This company offers all the coordination, styling & planning that you need to have the wedding of your dreams!!! Thank you Gabi!!
