Simply put: Gina is phenomenal!
We found lucid events through our venue's list of recommended vendors. Right off the bat, our consultation phone call with Gina was nothing but good vibes. She was upfront about what she felt like we needed and didn't need from her and it was refreshing to have someone give it to us straight and honest. We ended up choosing her month-of-coordination package.
They advertise themselves as your wedding day bestie and they are exactly that. Gina was super responsive to our calls and texts leading up to the wedding and gave us great recommendations for our vendors as well. Everyone complimented us on being so calm the week of the wedding but it is really because we knew that Gina could solve any disaster that could come our way.
Day of our wedding, Gina and her assistant were there bright and early to help manage set up. She also took some really fun behind the scenes videos for us! At our church ceremony, my veil fell out of my head and Gina was right there with pins to help me discreetly reattach it. Everything went off without a hitch thanks to Lucid Events. I will be recommending them to everyone I know! Thank you Gina and team for an unforgettable experience! Love yall <3

We hired Gina and her team at Lucid Events for full wedding planning for our March 2025 wedding. Gina was an absolute god send throughout the planning process, whether it was sourcing vendors or just calming my bridal anxiety. She was very communicative and always available to us when we needed anything. She was such a great resource to have and helped execute the most beautiful wedding day for us. We had a lot of last minute changes within the last three months leading up to the day and she helped make sure everything transitioned flawlessly. Her vendor recommendations were also 10/10 leading everything to come together absolutely perfectly. I would 100% recommend Gina and her team for wedding or event planning. She helps you create your vision, make sure you have a great vendor team, and is there running point for any and every possible situation that comes up. 100000/10

Hands down Gina was THE best. She was on top of everything, super organized, all while being so nice and easy to work with. I hired her simply over how her vibe and personality came through over text message! She was the best to deal with and so easy to talk to. Gina was always available to talk and was so good at handling the most ridiculous situations that came up during my wedding planning. Her calm demeanor but also able to take care of any situation ( like getting us out of an awful vendor contract 30 days prior to our wedding) makes her amazing . She has personal relationships with all the vendors down here which helped us so much aka having to then find a new florist a month before our wedding day. All in all I would use Gina again 100 times over! It’s so important to have a planner who not only is good at their job BUT is also easy to have a relationship. Gina was that and more!

THIS WOMAN HAS 71*** 5 STAR REVIEWS FOR A REASON!!!!! because she treats he clients like her best friend. My experience was nothing less than absolute perfection. She was there with me since day one - through all the ups and downs AND CRAZINESS the most important day of your life entails….. she was my trusted go-to FOR EVERYTHING!!! photography, video, DJ, you name it - she has the best of the best. At the pricing you need it to be. Before I could finish asking a question she already had the answer. I couldn’t imagine my day without her. I am SO GRATEFUL I FOUND GINA!!!!! and if you’re reading this - you will be too. So attentive, responsive and knowledgeable in her work, the best of the best doesn’t even come close to describing her.
The only thing I told her was she should be charging 10x the price of what she charges for her services because her work is unmatched. 🙌
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Gina, I love you, you’re an angel from the heavens. Thank you for getting me & PAPA b to the chuppah!!!!!!

where to even begin...literally the best day of our lives and so much of what made it absolutely PERFECT goes out to Gina Damato and her crew at LUCID EVENTS.
Gina gave above and beyond service, is so likeable and cool and fun, and there is 0 reason you should even consider anywhere else.
Let me give you a quick example why Gina is so dope and how much value you get for your money (beyond fair pricing if you ask me); Gina scheduled month out meetings with all of our vendors so we could fine tune everything with them. She went over all of our contracts with the vendors and insured that nothing was out of place (there were like 7 contracts to go over just to give you an idea).
She'll be your best friend for the day and ensure you've got everything you need, and she knows how to read a room/crowd perfectly. Getting you a drink when you need one, grabbing those random wedding items you need from your room. She make sure you stick to the timeline that she created for you months in advance.
Gina, thank you so much for making our day the best it could've possibly been. You are amazing and I hope we can stay in touch!

We found Gina through a family friend. We immediately called her and asked her the typical I don’t know what I’m doing here questions and she reassured us that if we went through her that she would make everything seamless and let us focus on our big day while she took care of the other stuff. Once we hired her I got the honor of seeing Gina work a wedding since I was in my family friends wedding party. Once I saw Gina work that wedding I knew she was the one for our wedding so we hired her right away. Throughout the whole time leading up to the wedding Gina was always just a phone call away. I do admit it was hard at first letting Gina make phone calls and schedule meetings since I am so used to being in control but once I have her 100% of the control she made it easier for me and my wife to plan the small details. On the wedding day she was there right next to us throughout the whole night asking us if we needed anything and making sure the wedding went off without a hitch. Thank you Gina for everything. 10/10 recommend

Hey there! Just had my wedding a couple days ago & I got to say, Gina has been absolutely incredible throughout the whole process. The moment we hired her she had been so present and was able to guide us through it all! I couldn’t have asked for a better day of coordinator, she absolutely went above and beyond for us! Wedding day went so smoothly, she dealt with all the vendors, guests, helped calm my nerves as a bride, helped set up decorations ( which by the way she didn’t need to do that at all) she even went above and beyond to take content behind the scenes throughout the day so that we would have something to leave with! As a bride I didn’t have to worry about anything at all during my wedding day, which was such a relief! Definitely would recommend her 1000x to anyone! Gina thank you so much for everything you have done for us! We really appreciate it!

Gina is absolutely top notch and fantastic at what she does. I just recently had my wedding and in my ignorance I remember telling my wife why would we need to pay for a coordinator/planner, it can’t be that hard, is it really necessary? I’m telling you now Gina literally became the best and most valuable vendor I hired for the whole wedding. She made the whole process so smooth and went above and beyond what she needed to do. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone in need. 10/10!

She seamlessly coordinated most of our vendors, ensured the schedule ran like clockwork, and made sure every guest felt cared for. Whether it was handling last-minute changes or keeping us calm throughout the day, she went above and beyond. We didn’t have to worry about a thing and were able to fully enjoy our special day. If you’re looking for someone who will make your wedding stress-free and unforgettable, Gina from Lucid Events is the one!

I’ve worked with a lot of wedding planners, but Gina from Lucid Events is truly one of a kind. From the moment I arrived, it was obvious she had everything planned out perfectly. She’s so organized, calm, and great at keeping things on track, which made my job so much easier. The whole day flowed so smoothly, and Gina made sure everyone – vendors and guests – felt taken care of.
I can’t recommend her enough. If you’re looking for a planner who’s not only amazing at what she does but also super kind and fun to work with, Gina is the one! I’m looking forward to working together again soon.

As a wedding photographer, I’ve had the privilege of working with many wedding planners, and I must say, Lucid Events is truly outstanding. From start to finish, the level of organization and attention to detail was nothing short of remarkable. Every aspect of the day was seamlessly planned, which made capturing the couple’s special moments effortless and enjoyable.
Gina has an incredible ability to anticipate every need, ensuring that the timeline flowed smoothly without any hiccups. From the perfectly arranged details to the well-coordinated transitions between events, it was clear that every element was thoughtfully prepared with both the couple and their vendors in mind.
What stood out most to me was Gina's calm demeanor and professionalism throughout the day. Even in moments of unpredictability (as weddings often bring), she handled everything with grace and efficiency, allowing the couple and their loved ones to stay fully present in the celebration.
Thanks to Gina, I was able to focus on my craft without worrying about logistical challenges. It’s so refreshing to work with a planner who understands the needs of every vendor and ensures we can all work together seamlessly.
I can’t recommend Lucid Events enough to any couple looking for a wedding planner who is not only talented and organized but also a true joy to work with. I look forward to collaborating again in the future!

MY WEDDING PLANNING FAIRY GOD MOTHER. Gina was always on top of everything for me from setting up meetings to making sure everyone was on time and scheduled properly, confirming my vendors, and just over all being an absolute boss. She was responsive at any day or time that I needed her, and was so quick to get things done. She is not afraid to go after what you envision on your wedding day. Obviously everything was new to me and you can research prices and the best vendors but she really takes no sh*t when getting you the best of the best. In times where I was nervous to speak up she was on top of it fighting for me and getting me what was best and I am so appreciative of her. She brought so much energy and fun into planning and executing our wedding and I truly could not have asked for a better person to help me on my most important day. Bottom line, if you don’t book Gina, you are missing out.

I booked Gina as a partial wedding planner and day of coordinator at my Wedding at the DoubleTree Grand Miami. She delivered as promised and was always fun but professional. She was always available to answer questions I had and she recommended great vendors. The day of my wedding went perfect and I didn't have to worry about vendors, clean up, or the event timeline because she handled everything. I highly recommend Gina and Lucid Events.

15/10 would recommend. Gina and her staff at Lucid Events were a dream to work with. I booked Gina for full-service wedding planning and worked for with her for over a year to plan my dream wedding. Gina was always available to answer questions and/or help in anyway. She has a great rapport with vendors and works hard to get exactly what you want. She is also very budget conscious and never tried to sell us anything. Our wedding day went perfectly, if there were issues I had no idea because Gina and her staff handled everything! You will not be disappointed with them.

Where do we begin!? Gina was absolutely incredible! She made each part of our wedding detailed, organized and fun! She was a great communicator as we planned our destination wedding. She was exceptional at remembering the small, but important, details. She took the heavy lift of communicating with each of our vendors beforehand, making sure they had everything they needed. She also made sure we were happy with every detail, and it's important to like everything; Gina made it easy for us to speak up if something was off. She helped us find additional needed vendors as we weren't as aware of all the options as we were from out of town, including looking into multiple locations for a rehearsal dinner She was also a fantastic hype girl, always bringing the energy. She curated a detailed day-of timeline and helped facilitate our dress rehearsal. With the provided decor, she set up all the decorations, tables, seating charts, florals, etc and took them down. There wasn't anything Gina couldn't do! She kept us on track throughout the day, made sure we were hydrated and happy. She was a critical part of ensuring our destination wedding was everything we wanted it to be; it wouldn't have been possible without her. Thank you, Gina!!!

As wedding photographers, we recently had the pleasure of working with Gina from Lucid Events at a large, high end wedding and she was absolutely amazing. She was extremely knowledgable, incredibly organized, as well as kind and conscientious. She had the ability to perceive the needs of the couple, the wedding party, the vendors, and every moving part of the wedding throughout the day. She effortlessly blend’s creativity with meticulous planning, ensuring every detail is perfect.
Gina stands out above the rest. She was awesome and we give her our highest recommendation as a fellow vendor.

I cannot recommend Gina and her team enough. She always made herself available and provided multiple options for us to pick from which was super helpful as a couple from out of state. All the vendors she recommended were spectacular and she was a great resource for negotiating. What originally made us feel comfortable with her was the fact that she provided us guidance, ideas, and videos before we even hired her. She is laid back and fun yet also professional and gets the job done. She always seemed to answer my texts and emails within hours and calmed my worries leading up the wedding. Thank you Gina for helping me bring my fairytale wedding to life!

Gina is everything you could want in a wedding planner! From the moment we met her, we knew we were in good hands. Throughout the entire planning process, Gina's expertise, attention to detail, and calm approach made all the difference.
Gina jumped right in as our month of coordinator and ensured that every detail was thought of, all the logistics were in order, and made our day better than we could have imagined!
On the wedding day itself, Gina's expertise truly shone through. She orchestrated every detail flawlessly, ensuring that everything ran like clockwork. From coordinating vendors to managing last-minute changes, Gina handled it all with grace and professionalism with a reassuring and positive attitude. Thanks to her, we were able to fully immerse ourselves in the celebration without worrying about a thing.
Gina's passion for her work is evident in everything she does. She genuinely cares about her clients and goes above and beyond to bring their vision to life. Our wedding day was everything we had dreamed of and more, and we have Gina to thank for making it possible.
If you're looking for a wedding planner who will make the planning process a breeze and ensure that your big day is nothing short of perfection, look no further than Gina. She is simply the best!
Thank you, Gina, for turning our wedding dreams into reality!

Gina went above and beyond for all of our wedding planning needs! She is so personable and quick at communicating. From start to finish she made sure to help execute our vision and keep in touch with all of our vendors!
The day of the wedding she went above and beyond the entire day! She made it a point to visit me and my husband before the ceremony, set up cocktail hour and the buffet, made sure we were having fun and was quick to respond when we needed her!! She can LITERALLY do it all! Alexis also assisted the day of the wedding and she was just as attentive as Gina was throughout the night.
I cannot recommend a more fun, loving, and passionate person/company to have as wedding planners!

THANK GOODNESS FOR GINA. She saved my sanity with planning which allowed us to actually enjoy our INCREDIBLE wedding!!! wedding planners tend to be very expensive and some of them will only let you pick from their selected vendors, among other limiting rules. Not Gina!! She rolls with it! I feel like she really knows how to communicate and manage people....she is professional and personable, serious about work and fun to work with....she is solution oriented and creative...she is easily accessable....she advocates for her clients.....i just think she is fabulous. she offered a fair price for tremendous value. knowing what i know now, she should charge more!! then again, i would never have hired her/anyone if she did just because i was so intimidated by higher price points....so im personally really appreciative that she offered her services at the price point that she did. i highly highly highly recommend working with Gina! In an industry that can make you feel high and dry with your hard earned money to put together your well deserved saved-up-for wedding, she's got your back and you will be so appreciative for her. at least, that's my experience!

Gina is beyond amazing. She’s everything you want in not only a wedding planner, but in someone you want to be around for such a big, busy, all-encompassing day. She’s poised. She’s organized. She’s responsive. She’s fun. She’s quick to pivot and brainstorm when things (like wind) throw hurdles. She had a great relationship with all our vendors. She kept everything on time. She perfectly handled all the little details we brought ourselves (table numbers, cocktail candles, arches, floating orbs, bar signs, flip flops, LED glow sticks, interactive guest painting, etc.) and made it look easy. She was also extremely helpful in the months leading up to the wedding, helping us with contracts and keeping us organized with a checklist and planning app. Even more, she went above and beyond to help us when our farewell brunch venue fell through a month before our wedding weekend, which she absolutely did not have to do as it was completely outside of her responsibilities. It just went to show how wonderful she is and how much she cared about us having the weekend we envisioned. It was clear how hard she worked to make all our visions come to life, and she exceeded everything we could have asked for. We absolutely love her as a planner and as a person.

Gina, with Lucid Event, and her team were the best. I cannot recommend them enough. From the moment we started our wedding planning journey to the day we said "I do," Gina has been there to help us prepare. Her expertise when it comes to coordinating weddings was excellent, as she had great knowledge of all the ins and outs of the day. Her team was on point, and she wrangled all of our vendors, so we didn't have to worry about those details and organization.
I think what I loved most about the time my now partner and I spent with Gina was that she helped us breathe on the wedding day and made us realize that everything was going to go according to plan. Personally, I underestimated how chaotic a wedding day could be, but Gina was there to help me stay centered. She is a godsend!
Again, I'm not sure I could say enough about Gina, she is a true professional, and I felt like I made a friend in the process. I would highly, and I stress highly, recommend her for your wedding. You won't regret it.

Gina from Lucid Events was absolutely incredible throughout the entire process! We booked her for the last 2 months of our wedding planning process and she hopped right in and familiarized herself with our vibe and vision for the day and it was perfect. We had a big DIY wedding on the beach and she worked with our venue to make sure that everything we were doing ourselves and bringing in manually was done quickly and effortlessly so that we could just enjoy our day. She and the venue set up all our tables and made the reception look so magical. I really appreciate Gina's confidence and cool calm collectedness, it made me feel really comfortable on the day. She also was so helpful and kind and gracious handling some of the more sensitive aspects of our wedding and that did not go unnoticed. I mean it when I say that our wedding day was absolutely perfect and that was in large part due to Gina's help. I HIGHLY recommend booking Lucid Events for your wedding if you're in the area. Thank you again Gina!!

I don’t even know where to begin! Gina was someone I found on Zola and we had no idea what to expect and it was connection at first sight! We loved her energy and we could tell how efficient she was. She LITERALLY made our process of planning the most easy journey ever, my husband and I were so chill throughout all of it no stress at all thanks to Gina for she took care of everything and she has so many connections that she made it so easy for us to choose our vendors! We had a big wedding and she delivered a smooth wedding for us and everything went perfectly for us! We were able to just enjoy our time and our guests and everyone is still speaking of how perfect the wedding was. we love so much Gina she now became part of our lives! She was always ready to speak with us and answer any questions we had, she’s extremely organized with the timeline of everything which speaks to her experience. I don’t usually write reviews but about her I had to! Thank you Gina we loved everything so much and best part stress free! Hire her you won’t regret it.

I got a chance to work with Gina and lucid events on an international event. There are a lot of factors that go into planning events like these from afar and it’s simple to say Gina knocked it out the ball park. Her work execution, attentiveness and work ethics to make ensure the event went as the client dreamed went flawless. This was a great experience that you had to witness in person. Highly recommended and look forward to future events with lucid events.

Hiring Gina and Alexis was by far the best wedding decision I made! As a type-A planner who had all of our wedding vendors booked within 6 months of getting engaged, I thought I could handle the wedding day on my own. However as we got closer to the big day, I realized I didn't want to take care of logistics on the wedding day. That's when I found Lucid Events and hired them for day of coordination. Gina helped me through all our final steps of wedding planning such as creating a timeline, making a rain contingency plan, and scheduling our final vendor meetings. Alexis was there for our ceremony rehearsal and wedding day and she went above and beyond to make the day run completely smooth, despite it raining all day. She handled transitioning guests from one activity to the next, working with vendors, bringing us drinks all night long, and overseeing cleanup. I 100% believe that without Lucid Events, I would not have enjoyed our wedding day as much as I did. It was the best day of my life and a huge part of that was their help!

Gina is absolutely amazing!!!!! We got married at Hardeman's Secret Garden in Dover in November and we absolutely could not have had the wedding of our dreams without Gina. I had no idea where to start in wedding planning, but Gina helped me every step of the way to make it a breeze. I moved across the country right after being engaged, and it never effected the communication and assistance Gina provided even from afar. She went out of her way to tour our venue on her own since she had not been there yet and did everything possible to make the planning process a breeze for me as i'm thousands of miles away. She handled all the communication, contracts, insurance things I didn't even know were a thing. Aside from helping me put my vision into real life, I always looked forward to talking to her as she felt like just a friend helping me and being as excited with me for the best day of our lives. She really cares and puts everything into her work. I'm pretty sure she worked a 12+ hour day for me that day and never lost her smile. She is a pro and will make your live so much easier. My family and guests absolutely loved her and I highly recommend using Gina with Lucid Events to help make your wedding everything you could imagine. I didn't have a single ounce of worry during the entire day and I owe it all to Gina I can't thank her enough <3

Gina & her team were great to work with! Lucid Events was hired by my venue after the previous in-house event planners fell through mid-way through my planning process. The difference Gina made in my wedding planning experience was life changing in the best way. From our first meeting, I felt instantly more relaxed by her professionalism and knowledge of the industry and she made me feel like she actually cared about me and the success of my wedding. She joined all of my vendor planning calls which was extremely helpful to get her perspective on things I wouldn't have thought of on those calls. While Gina was not able to be my day-of coordinator due to a prior obligation, Alexis was also amazing to work with and made my wedding day run flawlessly. I know there were some behind the scenes hiccups that happened day-of but she did an amazing job making sure I didn't have to deal with any of it and could just enjoy my day as the bride. I highly recommend Lucid Events for anyone looking for help planning their wedding.

The wedding was a dream come true, she stayed the entire wedding day to make sure everything went accordingly. I would highly recommend Gina to use as your planner, you will not be dissapointed.

I was searching for a partial wedding planner for months and finally narrowed it down to 3. I interviewed with all of them (highly recommend) and I knew right away Gina was it for me. I wanted someone who provided a software to keep me organized (tech girly here), someone who was professional, knowledgeable, yet knew how to have fun and someone who has been in the business for while. Gina checked all my boxes. I had a vision and Gina helped me bring that light to make sure the day went as smooth as possible. Brides can have all the vision in the world but the truth is you need a professional because there’s so many things I didn’t know or didn’t think about so we would tweak it when we had our check ins/meetings. Also, the day of she absolutely killed it. Everyone was complementing her professionalism and proficiency. My parents LOVED her. I don’t even know if anything went wrong day off because she handled it all. I was able to really enjoy the day/night. I am so grateful I found her and would highly recommend her!

Just got done working with Gina at a Wedding at The Jupiter Beach Resort and all I can say is that from the first time I met her, I knew that she was an amazing planner. She is a true perfectionist and knows exactly how to get the job done in the correct way. Her organizational skills are second to none and worked side by side with me in every aspect of the way as the Wedding DJ/MC for the evening. I highly recommend Gina if you are looking for a planner. SHE IS DA BOMB...........

GINA IS FANTASTIC. My husband and I got married at The Art & History Museum in Maitland, FL and the venue required that we have a day of coordinator which they provided a list of preferred vendors for. We ended up choosing Lucid Events due to them being the most affordable and also seemed the most familiar with the venue. From start to finish, Gina was incredible - making sure that everything went according to plan. Even though technically a day-of coordinator, she was so helpful even months before our wedding - providing recommendations, ensuring that all of our vendors were booked, and assisting with any details or questions that arose during the planning process. We can't thank her enough for everything she did to ensure our day was as perfect as it was.

Gina is absolutely amazing. My parents hired her after I got super stressed out trying to plan my own wedding. I still wanted to plan my own wedding, but I really needed that little bit of extra help. Gina totally helped me out with that, and took care of all the calls with the vendor, kept me updated, and went through multiple checklist with me. On the wedding day, she helped calm down my nerves and checked in to make sure everything was going good for me! She is super kind and caring. She will feel like your friend by the end of it! She is a lovely person to work with and to just chat with. Highly recommend!!!

I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Gina. She gracefully handled every single aspect of the planning process leading up the the big day and the day itself with the kind of wonderful attitude and positive calm demeanor you hope for in a wedding planner. She masterfully handled the wedding day, particularly dealing with some exceptionally difficult vendors on my behalf to make sure my day was what I wanted, and minimizing the need for my involvement. She arrived early with an assistant to help setup a ton of decor we brought with us to the venue and stayed late to break it down, carefully packing everything back into its original containers. In a planner I looked for organization, responsiveness, punctuality, positive attitude, artistic vision, and great recommendations, all of which Gina has in spades. I could go on, but I’ll leave you with the message not to look any further once you’ve found her. She will make sure your day is perfection.

We were on a hunt for a month trying to hire a wedding coordinator. Organization and more importantly communication was very important for me. I have been researching reviews, talked over the phone and my gut instinct led me to the best!
Gina, my wedding planner called me 15 mnts after I posted my request. She answered all my questions and her confidence, knowledge and skills in venue designing was on point. Our conversation made such an impression, we hired her immediately!....And never regretted it!
We had a beautiful beach wedding. Gina made us feel at ease. From the beginning, Gina helped transform our wedding day to the most memorable experience ever. What I thought would be the most overwhelming process flowed smoothly because of hard work and dedication delivered from the moment we contacted her.
There aren't words to express our gratitude! THANKS Gina!

I would give Gina 10 stars if I could! I am the type of person that likes to have control over everything, so it was very hard for me to hire someone to help me with my wedding. However, as soon as I met Gina, I knew my wedding was in good hands. She is very organized, professional, reliable, and FUN. I could contact her for anything and everything at all hours. My day would not have run smoothly without her, because I knew she had everything under control. I even had wedding guests tell me the coordinator was fantastic. I am so grateful that she was a part of our day and cannot recommend her enough!

Tiffany and I absolutely LOVE Gina!
She was incredibly professional, timely, and courteous. She made sure that we had all the details covered for our wedding, even the small things that we would have never thought of.
We couldn't have done this without her. Wedding planning is not fun, but she made it easy for us throughout the entire process.
HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend her for any and all your wedding planning needs!
Thanks for helping us achieve our dream wedding, Gina!

Gina at Lucid Events is a dream come true when it comes to wedding planners. I knew right away from our first phone call that she would be so easy to work with. She instantly put me at ease, was so patient with all my questions, and was always so responsive during the months leading up to the wedding. We had our wedding at the Luxmore Estate and she helped transform the venue into my vision. She handled all the little details with vendors and decorations. She also saved the day when I forgot my hairpiece at home and she ran out to find a new one (and much better one, I will add) before the ceremony. A LITERAL lifesaver. There's a lot of pressure with hiring vendors for your wedding because its such an important day - trust me, Gina is the best and I was so happy having her as my coordinator. She goes above and beyond. Highly recommend that you go with Gina & Lucid Events for your big day.

Gina is AN AMAZING WEDDING PLANNER!!!!! I can not say how gracious I am so happy that I had her be apart of the wedding planning process!! She is kind, responsive, insightful, and so very talented. From the moment we contacted her, we knew she would be amazing to work with and she was leaps and bounds above other planners. We loved that she introduced us to Aisle Planner, which I enjoyed for planning, it was very helpful and kept me very organized. Any questions I had, or anything I needed a typical planner wouldn't do, Gina was willing to help and very quickly! Our guests had a blast with her, and it was the truly the best day of my life, THANK YOU GINA!!!

Lucid events and Gina helped me plan my wedding in less than 7 months. She was amazing to work with, quick to respond, and found creative ways to work with my budget. Almost every vendor she suggested we went with. Her knowledge and experience is unmatched. The wedding was by far the best day of my life and so many of my guests are still reaching out about what an amazing day it was. Nothing went wrong and if it did Gina handled it so I didn't have to worry about anything! I recommend Gina and Lucid events for anyone planning their wedding!
