Gerad Floyd Events

Best decision we made about our wedding! Gerad made everything easy. He has every checklist, makes sure every vendor knows where to be, and is 100% the best match to our personalities. He kept everything running smoothly, and we're still so happy every time we hear his name... 7 months later. Talk to him, I'm sure you'll agree

Gerad was the wedding coordinator for a wedding I was in and he was AMAZING! Very professional, organized, and wrangled a wedding party that was more akin to a herd of cats!

My husband and I had to completely replan our wedding two weeks before the big day. We found Gerad and he immediately stepped in and helped pull it all together. He was so kind and had so much poise. He kept everything running smoothly, was efficient, and everyone loved him! I would highly recommend Gerad to anyone in need of a wedding coordinator!

Our best asset and trusted partner from start to finish! Gerad was our rock, our trusted partner, and our best asset in achieving our goals for our wedding. We loved working with Gerad from the moment we met him. He was a swiss army knife from start to finish. He just has that magic touch: the right amount of being going deep with you when it matters and that ability to steer you clear of a mistake or going too far down a rabbit hole. We selected a month-of coordination services package that included a few advanced planning meetings. Frankly, Gerad was involved from day 1 all the way through to our wedding day--well beyond the scope of duty. Prior to the month of our wedding, he made himself available for wisdom and institutional knowledge via email. He was open to answer any question, even before his “month of” duties started. This availability helped us make smart decisions and helped reduce his work during the month of the wedding when he took over. Everybody won. The month of our wedding arrived, and Gerad transitioned from trusted advisor and collaborator to director and orchestrator. We began texting, and he really stepped in- we knew he had it all under control. At our ceremony rehearsal, Gerad had the perfect command of the crowd. His sharp wit, ability to get people to focus, and mastery of highlighting the important parts of the ceremony really assisted. Finally, on the day of our wedding he was a master. Armed with a satchel of wedding day emergency items-- you could count on him to get people to the right places, orchestrate every one of the vendors, re-hang a light or fan, lay out flowers and decor, shift a cake table, field a tent emergency, place things in the right rooms, or herd family members. He was always in the right place at the right time. Oh count the many ways Gerad was awesome. Beyond this all he really made us feel so special on our day. He was our best hire. You won't be disappointed!

I cannot recommend Gerad enough!! He took so much of the stress out of wedding planning and made sure everything ran smoothly. He gave great recommendations on vendors and helped with all of the coordination. On the wedding day itself, his help really allowed me and my husband to be present during the wedding and enjoy our day without having to worry about everything else. He went above and beyond and truly made the wedding better than I could have imagined!

I hired Gerad as the wedding planner for my daughter and fiancée's wedding. He was wonderful for all of us to work with planning and executing the details of the wedding. He was extremely organized, managed the timeline and the vendors well, not missing any detail, and very helpful when we forgot things. Their wedding day ran smoothly and was absolutely wonderful!

Gerad was invaluable during the wedding planning process. He kept us on track and on time when making all of our decisions. He was patient and professional every step of the way. On the day of the wedding, I did not have to worry about a thing. He kept the day moving seamlessly. Thank you so much, Gerad!

My husband and I hired Gerad to help us in the month leading up to our wedding back in April of 2022 and he was an absolute godsend! Bringing Gerad on board immediately decreased our stress and anxiety around the whole process. He brought so much valuable industry experience to the table and was able to easily explain everything to us in order to pull together a seamless timeline for the event and wrangle difficult vendors. My husband and I had always heard that the week leading up to and the day off of the wedding were incredibly stressful….but with Gerad, it was blissfully stress free and that was testament to all of his hard work. On the actual day of the wedding, I was able to fully rely on Gerad to keep everything organized and on time. He always kept us in the loop and made it feel like we were partners in putting on the event. We didn’t have any big issues or hiccups during the event and if there were any, Gerad handled them so smoothly that I didn’t know they happened. We received multiple compliments on Gerad throughout the day and afterwards, and we could not recommend him more.

Worth every penny! I met with Gerad nine months before my wedding in February 2020 to discuss ideas, size, and budget for the event. Through those nine months and to the day of he planned, organized, and executed everything from flowers, cake, and drapery to drinks, a DJ, food and anything in between. With his attention to detail, time management, communication, and follow through, Gerad turned my dream wedding into a reality and I hardly had to lift a finger! I look back on that wonderful day thankful for Gerad’s help because I don’t know how it would have happened without him.

I would give Gerad TEN stars if it was an option! My husband and I were over-the-top impressed with Gerad! He is extremely organized and communicates with everyone involved VERY well. He really took the bull by the horns and took the stress away for what we all know can be a very stressful day. I couldn't be more thankful for him!!

GERAD IS AMAZING! He was so incredible on the day of our wedding multiple people commented on how great he was. He was calm and confident when handling situations/ changes in wedding arrangements the week of our wedding. He made us feel at ease through the whole process leading up to the wedding and especially on our wedding day. Our wedding day would not have been as great as it was without him! Everyone needs Gerad as their coordinator!!

Gerad was fantastic! We retained him about nine months before our wedding, and throughout the process Gerad was responsive to any and all questions we had and provided great advice to us regarding things ranging from wedding-day decor to potential vendors. Importantly, he really paid attention to the choices we made (or were trying to make). At one point, he saved us from a potential photography nightmare by interceding when we almost went a bad direction with a potential vendor. Gerad was also exceptionally well organized, providing us clear information concerning pending steps and the payments due to our vendors. Most importantly, on the big day itself Gerad was invaluable. He assisted with decorations, took care of communications with the vendors and site, and made sure we timely made the rounds during the reception so that we stuck somewhat to our original wedding-day timeline. Gerad, thank you for everything you did for us!

My husband is amazing and all, but this guy MADE MY WEDDING! For those trying to make a decision about a wedding planner, look no further. Gerad was EVERYTHING we could have asked for and more. We credit him for the success of our event more than anyone else. We had amazing photographers and videographers, perfect makeup artists, a top notch florist, but the event would have likely been choppy and confusing were it not for him. He left no detail unconsidered and was the professional advisor, cat-herder, and real-time problem solver. I asked for the world and he delivered. Truth be told, my wedding was complicated and I threw a lot at him last minute: unusual ceremony venue, change of location to a reception on a BOAT, PLUS! it rained, adding kinks to both the outdoor ceremony and outdoor reception. Gerad handled everything so I could relax and enjoy my special day. When you meet him, you can just sense that you are in good hands. (And you'll probably also feel like you will want to be friends with him after the event.) He gave so much professional energy and attention throughout the entirely of the wedding and was collected, calm, and poised through it all. We even had observant family members comment about how awesome he was. I am forever grateful. THANK YOU GERAD! I will be recommending you to ALL of my friends!

Stop the search. You've found your guy. Gerad will take care of you. In a sea of five star reviews, please read below on why this man is so special. We came to Gerad under some challenging circumstances: we had a wedding originally planned in New Orleans (in September) which was canceled due to Hurricane Ida. We were discouraged, but decided that we really wanted to get married by the end of the year and ended up trying to plan something in Austin, TX, as we had a friend who had some wedding connections there. Our friend introduced us to Gerad, and we were no longer discouraged. Gerad single-handedly helped us plan a wedding from scratch in under three months. He opened up his little black book and recommended a full suite of A-list vendors that made our day absolutely perfect. He meticulously went through every detail of the schedule, creative things, and kept us excited throughout the entire process. He is the most caring, professional, and loving individual we've had the pleasure of working with when planning our wedding. We can confidently say, without Gerad, our wedding weekend wouldn't have been as full of joy, love, and excitement as it was. We are sad that our time together has come to an end, but hope that people looking for a planner can experience all this man has to offer.
