Thanks to recommendations from couples on The Knot
G&N Events is a wedding and event planning company based in Washington, DC. We help plan weddings in Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia. G&N Events is a woman-owned and mother-daughter founded company. We know firsthand how stressful wedding planning can be from the perspectives of both you and your family, and we are here to make your planning experience as stress-free and happy as possible.
Our goal is for our clients to feel heard and for them to have a resource throughout the entire planning process. Our month-of, partial, and full planning clients all get access to the G&N Events team from the day their contract is signed through the day of the wedding. We aim to know all of our clients’ wedding day concerns, address them head-on, and make our couples’ vision come to life on their big day.
G&N Events offers full planning, partial planning, month-of coordination, and consulting services. Aside from our consulting services, which are available for couples that just need a little bit of guidance, the smallest package we offer is month-of coordination since our involvement in planning (reaching out to our clients and their vendor teams to make sure everything runs smoothly on the day-of, creating the day-of timeline, and so much more!) really does start a month before the wedding. Couples that work with us in a full or partial planning capacity get everything that is in the month-of coordination package in addition to our assistance sourcing vendors and quotes and attending vendor-related meetings, if necessary.
Together, Giulia & Nora (G&N!) have planned weddings, both as cross-cultural events and as non-denominational ceremonies, from backyard gatherings to hotel receptions, and everything in between. If you are stressing about wedding planning, we would love to hear from you and to help make the wedding of your dreams a reality.

Hi, I'm Giulia! When I started planning my own wedding, I was quickly overwhelmed by opinions, decisions, and options. My mom saw how stressed I was and offered to help me plan everything. With her help, I fell in love with wedding planning. We realized that wedding planning should not be as overwhelming for others as it initially was for me, so we joined forces once again and G&N Events was born! We know how stressful wedding planning can be from the perspectives of both you and your family, and we are here to make your planning experience as stress-free and happy as possible :)

Giulia and her team at G&N events are INCREDIBLE! As a Type A bride, working with Giulia was a dream. She always looped me into her process, incorporated my thoughts and inspiration, and collaborated with me to make sure that the wedding was exactly what my husband and I envisioned. While we hired her for month-of coordination, she was responsive to every email and question I had from the day we contracted until the day of the wedding. She made sure we got a venue that suited all our needs, worked with other incredible vendors, and assuaged every anxiety and answered every concern. The wedding day itself was perfect - at least from my perspective! I am sure something was happening behind the scenes but I have no idea what that would be because Giulia took care of everything seamlessly. I cannot recommend her highly enough for her professionalism and skill, but I would be remiss to not mention how kind, supportive, and understanding she is. We absolutely love Giulia and are so grateful she lent her talents to our wedding. Thank you!

We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding planner than Giulia. From our first messages, I could feel Giulia's warmth radiate through my screen and I knew I would be in good hands if I had the chance to work with her.
Giulia’s timely responses were an absolute lifesaver throughout the planning process. No matter how small or urgent our questions were, she always made us feel like her top priority. She was quick to hop on a call and always found meeting times that worked for our busy travel schedules.
Aside from her incredible organizational skills, Giulia has the empathy and steady hand that we needed when there were bumps in the road. Three weeks before the wedding, we did a final walkthrough of the botanical gardens where we were getting married and found that unbeknownst to us the Park Service has started setting up a holiday light celebration weeks earlier than anticipated and that it was scheduled to start the day of our wedding. My husband and I naturally freaked out and Giulia was an absolute god-send with helping us draft a response to the venue to come up with a resolution so that the light show didn't impact our ceremony.
If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond to make your wedding perfect, Giulia is the one! We are forever grateful for her and her assistant, Emma for making our day so magical. We can’t recommend them enough.

Giulia did a fantastic job helping us coordinate our wedding from start to finish! We hired her for a partial planning package, and it felt like she was with us every step of the way. We were initially very overwhelmed by the large magnitude of tasks associated with planning a wedding, and her interactive taskmaster spreadsheet and frequent Zoom calls helped us immensely. We relied on her previous connections to book our florist and photographer, who were both great. In the 2 months leading up to our wedding, she masterfully corralled our vendors to ensure no balls were dropped. She was like having a very organized and competent big sister! Our wedding day went very smoothly, and Giulia saved the day when my bustle came undone on the dance floor. We highly recommend booking Giulia to ensure you have a beautiful and seamless wedding.

I wish I could give Giulia 10 stars... where do I even start?! First of all, Giulia is one of the KINDEST and most thoughtful people I've ever met. I can be a little neurotic at times (and definitely had times of panic throughout the planning process as many brides do...) and Giulia was literally my rock every single time. There is no detail or piece of advice she did not think of. She was also always incredibly responsive and so thorough in her replies. I am pretty particular about things and she exceeded expectations every single time.
I am not exaggerating at all when I say our wedding would not have been possible without her. Although I'm relieved the planning process is over, I am so sad to not be working with Giulia anymore - she is absolutely incredible and will make your wedding vision come to life. Giulia, I am so so thankful our paths crossed and wish you the absolute best!!

Guilia made me feel comfortable right off the bat. She was honest with me about not being able to take an additional full service wedding planning package but could do month of coordinating. September 1st rolled around (our wedding was 9/30) and I emailed her a few questions. I got an out of office from her. She was on vacation for the next 2 weeks. I was caught off guard. She did respond to emails here and there but I did feel like she was not as available as originally expected because of her vacation for two weeks right before my wedding. The girl who was there on the wedding day coordinating was lovely and did a great job but I feel like the lack of communication really made things difficult and not run as smoothly as it could have gone.
response 01/30/2024
Holly, I am so glad that I made you feel comfortable right off the bat, but I am so sorry ...
if things didn't go as smoothly as you had expected. I value honesty and transparency in my relationships with my clients, and I feel awful if you feel that any of that transparency didn't meet your expectations.
I am sorry that you felt caught off guard by my out of office email. I always provide clients with notice if I am going to be out of town, and I tried to do so with you by letting you know at your walkthrough, and based on that conversation, I was under the impression that you were ok with this. While I wish that you had let me know about your concerns earlier so that I could address them in the moment, I completely understand if another reminder or chat about this would have been useful.
Regardless, I always make a point to be available for clients with upcoming weddings, even if I am on vacation. I made an effort to respond to your and your vendors' emails as soon as possible. Please know that I continued to work on your timeline and vendor coordination while I was away, and all emails and questions did get answered within 48 hours. I know I was, unfortunately, unable to take calls while I was away, and I had hoped providing you with the option to text me at any time would be helpful. I know that I am typically more responsive and more available for calls than that, so I can see where your concern was coming from.
I am glad that you thought Natale did a great job on the day-of your wedding! I always introduce the lead day-of coordinator to clients either at their walkthrough or their rehearsal, and I hope that helped with the transfer of information from me to her.
I am always striving to improve, so I appreciate your feedback and will take all of your comments into consideration moving forward.

Giulia not only met but exceeded our expectations as a wedding planner. Her exceptional organizational skills and quick decision-making ensured that we not only stayed within our budget but also made our dream wedding a reality. What truly sets her apart is her unwavering support for every creative idea we had and her responsiveness to emails. Even when she was on vacation - she consistently responded within 24 hours.
Every vendor Giulia recommended turned out to be exceptional. She even helped us navigate concerns with a vendor I had chosen independently, creating a plan to ensure everything went smoothly on our wedding day. Thanks to Giulia, our wedding day was a seamless, stress-free experience. I didn't feel stressed for a moment, and I credit her for that. If you're considering working with G&N Events, don't hesitate – you won't regret it.

Giulia made us feel so much calmer in the weeks leading up to our wedding, and facilitated all the moving parts of the day beautifully! She was exactly the type of person we were hoping to hire as a coordinator: responsible, organized, proactive, calm under pressure, and incredibly warm. We had some last minute pivots on our wedding day - including moving the entire ceremony inside due to rain - and Giulia took everything in stride, checking in with my husband and me throughout the day and coming to us with solutions to problems that arose. She was so prepared for anything - she even had white safety pins with her, which came in handy when the threads holding up the bustle in my dress broke and we needed to pin it! The day turned out better than I could have even imagined, and it was so reassuring to have Giulia there running point. Highly recommend her to others looking for day-of coordination services!!

We are eternally grateful for her and would recommend her for anyone looking for an amazing (and affordable!) coordinator!

Hiring Giulia was one of the first and best decisions we made when planning our wedding and we're so glad we did! She did some initial work to make sure we had considered everything in our budget, and was available to help us think through how to move some big rocks that came up throughout the planning process.
When her month-of coordination started, she immediately took over our vendor communications, reviewing the contracts we executed to make sure they provided what we had asked for, and took care of getting their vendor meals sorted and helping make sure they arrived at the venue at the times they needed.
When the wedding weekend came, Giulia was a steady, calming presence always there to make sure we had what we needed! She was at the rehearsal and talked through everything with my nervous mother and (then) future MIL. Day-of, she and her assistant made sure all of our stuff was set up exactly as we wanted, served as a first barrier for any stresses that came up during the day, and pinch hit as my expert bustler since none of my family attended my final dress fitting.
Thank you to Giulia and all of G&N events for your spectacular management of our day.

Giulia is THE BEST OF THE BEST!!!!! She is amazing in every way and I simply cannot say enough about how great it is to work with her. Thanks to Giulia, we had the most magical, perfect, fun, and stress-free wedding day. Her bright and positive personality and the calming presence she brought to each interaction we had, made the process of planning a wedding fun and stress-free. My husband and I are a bit older than most brides and grooms, have very busy careers, and have teenage kids who keep us extremely busy. On top of that, we are both perfectionists and very detailed oriented. I can honestly say that from the very first moment we met, we knew Giulia was the perfect fit for us. Giulia listened to our wishes and concerns and far exceeded any expectations we had. She has great attention to detail, is knowledgeable, proactive, organized, and highly professional. Knowing each detail was always taken care of on time was such a huge relief for us. She kept us organized and calm through every step of the way. To say that Giulia went above and beyond, is an understatement. Giulia actually ended up coordinating two weddings with us. Five days before our wedding day, my husband got Covid and we had to cancel the wedding. As always, Giulia was on top of it. She immediately worked through all the details with us and with each of our wedding vendors. Within a few days, everything was rescheduled. Throughout the next few months, Giulia again kept us organized and calm. And finally, when our wedding day arrived, it was everything we hoped for. Thanks to Giulia, we were able to really be in the moment and enjoy the whole day. It was like having a friend there who took care of every little detail. Giulia was with us from the time we started getting ready to the very end. She kept everyone on schedule, managing every vendor and detail, all with a genuine, positive, fun and professional attitude. We feel so fortunate that Giulia was our friend and partner in the wedding planning process and on our big day. It truly wouldn’t have been the same without her.
Giulia is the perfect partner to plan and execute the most important day of your life. It is with great gratitude and ease that we highly recommend her for your big day!!

Giulia was so awesome to work with! I am so happy we chose her to be our wedding planner. It was our third attempt organizing the wedding due to Covid and I was (as you can imagine) extremely extremely anxious bride - simply couldnt afford to reschedule. Giulia way prior to the event helped us make key decisions (is my vendor worthy? within our price range?) and most importantly, help us organize the event flawlessly. Zero complaint from our guests and of course, from us! Dear Giulia, once again thank you so much for working with us on our special day! We are so happy how it turned out!

Weddings are stressful but she made the process fun. On our wedding day she drove around the DC area to make sure things went smoothly and she was the last to leave the venue to tie up all the loose ends. We highly recommended her to our friends that have already booked her for their future wedding. A++

I attended a wedding coordinated by G&N events last year. Due to capacity limits the staff was limited, so Giulia and the other vendors really stepped up to make sure that everything ran seamlessly. They were constantly handing out food, arranging tables, and directing guests where to go next. Giulia was friendly to all the guests and made sure everyone felt safe with the precautions being taken. I was so impressed by the extra effort she put in to make sure my friends and all their guests enjoyed their day no matter what!

The wedding planner, Giulia, was lovely and gracious to all of those who were working, as well as the guests. She took time to mingle with the guests as she went from one task to another (which she did seamlessly). I would recommend any couple planning a wedding to hire G&N Events!

I was also able to bounce ideas off her to make sure I didn't miss anything! She truly made sure that things went smoothly day-of. She was always there when we needed her but was not intrusive.

I don’t think we fully understood the vast benefits of having a wedding planner involved for our big day, until we sat down and actually began to attempt to organize things. While I admittedly didn’t have to do much of the legwork myself, my fiancée (at the time) is probably the most OCD person I know. She spent hours reviewing every last detail down to the placement of the jam favors in a perfectly even pyramid, and seemed to find no relief from anywhere other than G&N events. And where she found relief, we ALL did! We cannot thank Giulia enough for her diligence and her willingness to go above and beyond to make sure everything fell into place beautifully as we approached the day of. She came in earlier than anticipated, dropped her things, said hello and got right to work. She had things managed and planned like a well-oiled machine, and not a single thing was out of place. Not only was I so impressed with the organizational and planning support she was able to give every step of the way, but I also recognized that the true mark of a great planner is someone who can instill so much confidence into the bride and groom that they themselves can rest entirely easy knowing everything is under control on the day of. My wife was calm and collected, solely because she knew she could rely entirely on Giulia to make sure her vision came to life. We could focus on being in the moment, and we owe that to G&N. It doesn’t get any superior than G&N events and we so look forward to re-engaging as we look ahead to our reception next year! G&N – thank you for everything!

G&N Events are absolutely top-notch. I honestly could not recommend them more highly. They worked with us to execute a complicated and cross-cultural wedding - a Sikh ceremony at a Gurdwara in the morning, followed by a traditional evening reception. They are highly responsive and clear in their communications, and extremely detail oriented. They will do whatever it takes to make your wedding a success. In addition, they are highly professional, friendly, graceful and competent. They handled a number of mini 'crises' with ease on our big day, and allowed us the precious gift of relaxing and enjoying our wedding, knowing that everything was in excellent hands. They were so terrific, we even had our guests and family members asking us about them and telling us how wonderful they were!

When I was planning my wedding, my family was not close by to help and advise me and so I turned to Nora who happened to be a family friend at that time. She helped and guided me with her years of wisdom and experience and even came wedding gown shopping with me – the results were phenomenal. I am so happy that she and her daughter, Giulia, have decided to do this professionally! I know they will give the same attention to any event they help to organize.

Words can’t fully express the relief, ease and peace of mind this team has brought to the start of my journey to plan our wedding. Though it’s a little over a year out from now, I know time will fly and my head began to spin at the thought of the whirlwind that’s to come. Not knowing where to begin, I turned to G&N to help me start to put the pieces together and they’ve been nothing short of a God-send! In the preliminary stages, all I needed was some guidance and without any commitment to additional services, they served as an encyclopedia of resources for me to explore. Instead of feeling stressed, pressured and overwhelmed, I’ve felt that I have things organized and under control – I don’t know what I’d do without them! Since I was a little girl, I’ve collected fragments of a vision of how I’d like things to be and now that the time is drawing near, I’ve struggled to articulate the ideas I’ve had my whole life; the G&N mother-daughter duo have understood me, better than I’ve understood myself! They continue to anticipate my needs, organize the mess of questions I have in my mind, provide answers to the queries I haven’t even thought to consider, adapt to my schedule and go above and beyond to find what I don’t even know I’ve set out to look for. I am so looking forward to continuing to work with this professional, friendly and knowledgeable team – they’ve made me feel confident that all my dreams, are well within my reach and my budget! Thank you for everything, G&N – here’s to this next year working with you!
