Geomyra and Veronica made our day wonderful! GLWE did month-of coordination for my husband and me, and we were absolutely thrilled. Most important for us: she and Veronica were a...
delight to work with, and never for even a split-second let on any level of stress. And thankfully, there was never a need to stress! She and Veronica had everything under control. Because of her, my husband and I were able to relax and know that everything was under control. Prior to the wedding, whether it was the comprehensive checklists and info sheets she provided for us a month out or advising us on the order of the ceremony and order of the reception, her knowledge, patience, and skill continually wowed us. I would whole-heartedly recommend the GLWE team.
Geomyra and her team are absolutely amazing! When I got engaged I knew I couldn't get through the planning process without her help and the help of her team.
I had a destination w...
edding in Punta Cana and Geomyra was constantly able to provide me with updates and answers to any questions I had throughout the planning process. Everything was always so organized. The days leading up to the wedding, she constantly checked in with me to make sure I was good and had everything I needed. She kept me calm, cool, and collected if things didn't go as planned. My wedding day was a day I'll never forget and it was all due to her hard work and dedication to making my day special.
I've also had the pleasure of attending a bridal shower that she planned. The decor, location, and personal touches were all breath taking. Geomrya and her team really are talented and I would recommended them to any and every one.
I used Geomyra for partial planning wedding services, which includes help with finding vendors, décor design, and day of coordination. She is amazing and really knows her stuff. Sh...
e's so organized and is the planner who will take care of any issues on your wedding day so you're not even aware of them. Her relationships with local vendors really helped me get better prices and be confident that they were of high quality. During the planning process, she was on top of everything and provided amazing advice and tips that I would have never thought of otherwise. Her staff is also excellent and they are all easily accessible and accommodating. Even the make-up and hair ladies said I was the most calm bride they had worked with - why? - because I knew Geomyra was handling everything at the venue, so it would be perfect.
Geomyra is AWESOME!!!! I planned out my wedding myself, then 3 weeks before the big day I thought, who is going to make sure my big day is executed properly? I can't cut myself in ...
half. So I began researching day-of-coordinators. I received various email quotes from several planners. I chose Geomyra, because of her glowing reviews, plus she is the only planner that discounted her price since she would only have 2 weeks to organize and execute my big day as I had envisioned.
She did so much for me, I don't even know where to begin.
1. The timeline I created for the day was a mess. Times for when vendors were supposed to perform services were unclear, overlapping, or nonexistent. Geomyra created the perfect detailed timeline for me and my vendors to make sure the day ran smoothly.
2. To save money I was going to pick up my bouquet, reception centerpieces, and boutonnieres. Geomyra did this for me. That would have been super crazy for me to attempt that. I'm so glad she saved the day.
3. Geomyra stopped by my house to pick up favors, reception decorations, etc. for the event. Again, I was going to attempt to transport these things. Geomyra saves the day again.
4. I thought I had planned every detail and thought of every decoration idea, but apparently I had missed a few things. Geomyra helped me plan out those little details, for example how to decorate the cake table.
5. Geomyra is very quick about answering phone calls and responding to emails. Any and every question or concern was handled quickly, efficiently and effectively.
6. I ran over time with my photographer, and thought he was going to leave before the cake cutting. Geomyra talked him into staying a little longer to get the shots at no extra charge. None of the guest knew this little hiccup happened either. Geomyra is superwoman for real!
Geomyra's meticulous planning made the day go smoothly, so everything was perfect and better than I had envisioned. THANKS GEOMYRA!!
I worked with Geomyra and her team for my wedding on October 5, 2013 and I couldn't have been happier with the results. I was able to be low-key and lovely with my guests on the we...
dding day (and before) while GWLE set up meetings with vendors, coordinated their arrival times, managed my family during the rehearsal and ceremony, and communicated with all the vendors and key people the day of. I remember thinking as I was getting my hair done "I am so glad I am not outside counting chairs right now." Geomyra and her team did it all with a smile and whenever I turned around to need something (not often) she was there. I was not someone who had dreamed about my day forever and would probably at one point in my more immature life scoff at someone who needed a planner since I regularly plan and execute events for my job. Then, when I got engaged, I heard stories from my friends about the bride being on her cell phone all day before and after the ceremony communicating with vendors, missing talking to her guests to solve problems, telling people where to park, counting chairs. I knew my personality could handle the stress (maybe) but I didn't want to. Hiring Geomyra (AND TEAM) was a great decision and I was able to focus on my husband during the reveal, ceremony, and portraits, and then all my guests during the reception. When you meet with Geomyra, she will wow you with her organizational skills and the tools for making your day perfect. On the day of your wedding, you will not be disappointed.
My entire life, i dreamed of what my wedding day would be.. When it came down to actually planning it, i didnt even know where to begin. Thats when we began looking for a planner. ...
From the moment that we met Geomyra, we new she would be the one to make our dream a reality. We hired her for her full planning services and she stuck by us every step of the way.. even when we changed things at the last minute. I cannot begin to put into words how much we appreciate everythng Geomyra did. She went above and beyond and was even flexible with schduleing and any changes that we wanted to make at the last minute. If you are a bride who needs full planning help, or even for you do-it yourself type of Gals, I want to let you know that Hiring Geomyra and her TEAM (Yes, she even brings a team) was the best investment i made towards my wedding. Good Luck, Brides!
If you want to be stress-free on the day of your wedding (or the month leading up to it), you need to hire Geomyra. I am not convinced that all event planners/coordinators know wha...
t questions to ask, pay attention to detail, have industry contacts, and more importantly, the personality to work with a range of vendors and their personalities (or a Type-A, very anxious bride). Geomyra has all of those characteristics and more. She and her assistant, Veronica, made my entire wedding day special and relaxing-- the way it is supposed to be. If there were any mistakes or small fires to put out, I could not tell as they remained calm and in control throughout the day. And the best part: I feel like I made two new friends.
Geomyra & her team went above and beyond, our expectations on our wedding day (12-17-11) from beginning to end! I don’t know what we would have done without her and her team. She...
had excellent ideas right off the bat and offered me help even before we talked about fees for her services. Geomyra & her team were very calm and organized on the day. She put together a great timeline, and worked with the rest of the vendor team for their input. Can’t believe it’s almost been a year, we still reflect on it and cannot believe how well it turned out!
Geomyra and her team provided "month of" coordination for me and she was great from the beginning. My husband is in the military so we had to move up our wedding quite a bit and I ...
am currently finishing up law school and my wedding came right after my finals. Needless to say I was beyond stressed! Geomyra went out of her way to check-in with me the weeks before my wedding to see if I had any questions or concerns. She also didn't freak out when I sent her my 300 lists, charts etc. since I am a obsessed organizer. On the day of our wedding, everything went so smoothly. I definitely could not have pulled off the whole day myself and kept my sanity. It was really a relief knowing that Geomyra and her staff would be taking care of everything. Even at the end of the night she had already packed up everything we needed and had a cab waiting for us! I would definitely recommend her for anyone looking for a wedding planner in the future. Not only were her and her staff professional but their calm and happy demeanors were a breath of fresh air to a stressed out bride!

ell. I didn't want my mom to have to run around and do everything on my wedding day because I wanted her to enjoy it as much as everyother guest. Geomyra and her team made the night go so smoothly by making sure we stayed to the schedule that she brilliantly created. She coordinated with all of my vendors and was their point of contact so that I didn't have to worry about anything! I completely recommend Exceeding Expecations to anyone planning a wedding, not only are they truely amazing but they are affordable as well!
Geomyra and Co. at Exceeding Expectations were one of my favorite vendors!!! They were so organized and they truly made everything run smoothly on the day of. I wouldn't have wan...
