Gala brought our wedding celebration design to life perfectly!! We used her for production and day of installation but she did way more than that as, at the last minute, our wedding designer had a sad emergency. She stepped up and helped us finalize our design and bring it to life. We absolutely loved how it turned out and it really brought our NYE glam vibe to life. Our guests were so impressed how a rooftop bar in Bushwick was transformed into a NYE cocktail party.
We loved working with her. She has a calm but decisive style - exactly what we needed for last minute decisions and day of execution. She is very communicative and reliable. She is an extremely hard worker and did some awesome installation work in a very short timeframe. She is detail oriented in all the best ways. She does a great job balancing getting our perspective while ultimately helping us make the best decisions and steering us in the right direction. We highly recommend her to any couple and feel lucky to feel like we found a friend.
I found Gala on Instagram and saw all of the invitations she did and was immediately obsessed! The first time we spoke Gala was super kind and excited about my ideas, and because of her excited and the Brain storming session we had I knew she would be the perfect person to design the stationary for my wedding. We worked together for months and the entire time was just so fun! I feel like I learned a lot and ultimately the designs Gala came up with for our Invitation suite was magical. We ended up adding on day of stationery like menus and table numbers for our wedding date. I am so excited to see everything come to life. Our guest have started to get their letterpressed invitation suites and everyone is obsessed!
Gala was responsible for the decor and overall design at my daughter’s wedding. It was a south asian wedding spread across two days. It was truly a pleasure to work with Gala. She listenned to what my daughter and her fiancé wanted and was able to design a magical space for their wedding. We had the same space for multiple ceremonies and she was able to transform the space into a new wonderful setting suited to each event. She was completely involved in the project and was there whenever we had any questions and was ready to step in whenever we needed help.
Working with Gala, Maria and the rest of her team was great for the large wedding we were a part of in Newport. She made sure every floral detail of what the bride & groom wanted was discussed and brought to life. It was a big team effort to ensure everything was perfect, and her team was informed and helpful throughout the event.
Gala saved my life! She came swooping in to get my invitations in order. Her attention to detail and creativity is like no other that I’ve seen. For example I was just going to do regular invitations but gala presented letter pressing and it made such a difference! Absolutely stunning and I was amazed! Took it to the next level. She captured my ideas perfectly. She is incredibly knowledgeable and even invited us to go and see the process first hand. I have so much respect for her and the time she puts in. 10/10 would use her again and recommend!
Gala did the designs for my wedding- her designs are incredibly detailed and she made my special day more than perfect. Her attention to detail is incredible and she is amazing to work with as well. She quickly feels like your best friend and works really hard to understand exactly what you want. She had an amazing eye for unique vendors that fit my theme and my budget. Thank you for everything again you’re incredible!!!!
