We decided that we were in need of a wedding day coordinator late into our wedding planning process. With that being said we found Gigi and Sandy, and we are so glad that we did! F...
rom our very first meeting they were kind, knowledgeable, and proved to be just who we needed to help our wedding day run smoothly. And they did just that! We couldn’t imagine how our day would have went without them, and how many things we would have had to worry about or forgotten if it wasn’t for their hard work and assistance. We would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for help nailing down those final details, coordinating between vendors, setting a timeline, helping to set up decor, and just in need of someone to have your back through the day to problem solve and help things run smoothly. Thank you Gigi & Sandy for all you have done for us! We are so grateful!

Our experience with Gigi was both extremely professional and extremely personal. From the start of planning what was in some ways an overwhelming experience, Gigi and Sandy put at ...
ease that everything was under control. From dealing with multiple vendors to laisoning with our venue, Bottino (also amazing!), GK Events had it covered.
Our event was very hands-on with much of the set and design made in-house, all of which was delivered and assembled precisely to spec without a hiccup.
Gigi and Sandy were also very helpful in the logistics of handling the schedule of events and developing a precise plan for all the wheres and whens. The trains ran on time!
The personal touch made all the difference to us. They weren't just seamlessly running our wedding they were truly a part of it all which made it very special. Our needs were their needs and our satisfaction was their only goal, one which was achieved in full. Our only wish was we had more events so we could work with them again. Five stars!

Gigi & Sandy were truly incredible- it will be very difficult to sum up all of the ways in which they helped us on our big day. To start, they are both wonderfully kind and enjoyab...
le to talk to. All of our pre-wedding meetings were so pleasant because they brought such a cheerful and excitable attitude to every conversation. The pre-wedding meetings were thorough, insightful and detail oriented. They both asked great questions that my spouse and I had not considered and really helped steer us through all decisions we had to make. With the pre-wedding meetings we felt that our vision and overall wants, dreams, desires for the day were completely understood. Gigi & Sandy knew the ins and outs of our wedding better than us come the big day and it was very reassuring to feel so well taken care of. Leading up to the wedding the communication with them was so open and they were very quick to respond. Something else I want to note is that we did not have a big, fancy wedding. It was very DIY w/ friends and family filling in roles of photographer and and DJ- Gigi & Sandy were incredibly supportive which we both really appreciated. We are from the west coast and had an east coast wedding to be near family- there were a lot of small details we couldn't iron out since we couldn't frequent the wedding venue. During the rehearsal we still weren't sure where tables, food, dancing, photo op where exactly all going to go. Gigi & Sandy's ability to assess a venue the day before the wedding and plan out where the wedding party will walk from for the ceremony, where the bride will come from, where decorations, tables, etc. will go was truly phenomenal. They lead our rehearsal effectively to make sure everyone understood the task at hand for the following day. They made a thorough schedule starting the morning of the wedding day so the wedding party could all stay on track. They checked in on both my husband and I before the ceremony. During set-up they were able to come up with quick and easy solutions. Truly, their problem solving capabilities blew us all away. They were made for this line of work. They absolutely transformed our venue into exactly what we had pictured. During the wedding we were absolutely baby-ed by them. We did not have to lift a finger! Food was prepared for us and they made sure we ate, wedding party and family were gathered for photos before we requested it, AC turned down when it got a little stuffy from dancing. We are both so fortunate to say that we truly did not stress about a single detail on the day of our wedding. We just got to enjoy our day and have fun and be in love with each other. We could not imagine our wedding day without them. They made our special day the most fun day of our lives. We would recommend their services to anyone getting married and I would even go so far as to recommend our friends on the west coast get married on the east coast in order to use their services. They are an absolutely delightful team who put their all into making sure your day is special. We are forever thankful for them!

port their wedding planning and wedding day. We had several planning calls before the wedding, during which Gigi and Sandy helped us to think of so many details (we weren't Type A planners) that supported the planning process. They reached out to all of our vendors beforehand, and generously gave of their time even before the wedding itself. When our wedding rolled around, they were with us behind the scenes for the entire day. They met us at our hotel, went early to the venue, set up some of our personal touches, ensured everything was running smoothly and on time, and really worked to make the day so amazing for us, and our family and friends! They were very organized and timely when it came to setting up meetings, following up on emails, and connecting with anyone they wanted to be in touch with beforehand. They handled everything with SO much care, and we are so grateful. We loved working with them!!!

planner, but really wanted to be present/mindful on my wedding day and wanted coordinators there I could trust and take over for me. Gigi and Sandy are those people! We had several meetings with them leading up to our wedding and Gigi even came to our venue with our final walk through with our Maitre'D and venue staff. They setup all the details I wanted, came up a very detailed timeline, and communicated with all our vendors beforehand and day of. Everything ran so smooth on our wedding day and we had no issues. It was such a beautiful and fun day. My husband and I highly recommend GK Events!

Wonderful people who supported us and were on our side every step of the way of the wedding.

ut of the park with their planning and organization, aesthetic that they matched to our vision, and their being respectful toward our budget. The care they have toward their business and their clients shines through in their work, and the fact that they did a follow-up meeting even after the wedding really emphasizes that.
Their combination of friendliness and professionalism, even toward unexpected and hectic circumstances, kept us calm and reassured that everything would go well. By far the highlight of all our wedding vendors, and wishing them all the success in the future!

Gigi and Sandy were really like our wedding fairy godmothers. They listen, give advice, are personable and honest women. We had a farm wedding, which we built and designed from the...
ground up. Our wedding was on May 18, 2024 and we hired them in March, so they stepped into our planning process once our vision was already set. They were able to catch on easily and help it come alive. From the moment they started with us, they got to work! Every single thing that was brought in was rented or created by us. They began by getting in contact with all of our vendors and verifying everything we have rented or booked. Made sure that our vendors knew who they were and who to contact. They were available to chat as needed (alongside our scheduled/ included meeting times). They also traveled to the farm for site visits 2 times before our wedding weekend. On the night before the wedding, they stayed at the farm until all vendors dropped off the rentals and the property was cleaned up. Then, on the day of.. WOW. The farm owner failed us in many ways, but thanks to Gigi and Sandy they were our voices and made sure EVERYTHING went as smoothly as it could go. From setting up tables and chairs, to decorating, and managing the bridal party and guests as they arrived. We had a guest list of 212 people and not one of them knew any of the behind the scenes mishaps, thanks to them. We truly do not know what we would have done without Gigi and Sandy being on OUR team. Because of the amount of vendors and the farm owner being all separate entities, we needed someone who would be team Bride and Groom, make decisions when we couldn’t, and be our voices. We would and will be recommending them to any one who is ever in need of event planning. 5 stars all the way!

re everything was just right. As a DIY bride, I was nervous about relinquishing control, but Sandy and Gigi not only put me at ease but also made my vision come true. Their professionalism and attention to detail was unmatched, and I couldn't have asked for a smoother, more stress-free day, all thanks to them. I am forever grateful for their expertise and dedication to making our wedding day perfect.
