Perfection an International Event Company

ck every step of the way. We had creative freedom with every decision; however, Gina's knowledge and connection with vendors throughout Oahu steered us in the right direction with every decision. On the day of the wedding, Gina's organization helped us truly enjoy our guests without getting caught up in logistics and every vendor suggested by Gina was 5 stars. Don't hesitate to book Perfection for any event. We wish we had more events to book just to work with Gina again :)

would not give back our deposit. We did sign a contract with all vendors and the contracts did state non refundable, but we believe people when they give a verbal agreement. Thank you to all those vendors who refunded our money and sticking to their word. We would not recommend this company during COVID.

vided vendor recommendations, went over contracts, and kept everything organized and worked with our budget. When new Covid restrictions were announced 10 days before the wedding, she submitted a Covid mitigation plan so that we were able to hold our event. She kept track of all the guest vaccination cards,and test results, which would have been a nightmare to do ourselves. She remained calm, and kept us calm. Always with a smile. Mostly, she organized a beautiful wedding, everything we had envisioned. Many people told me it was the most beautiful and fun wedding they have attended. It was stress free to me, different from when I planned my other daughter’s wedding on my own. All we had to do on the day of the wedding was show up! I cannot say enough how easy Gina was to work with, and how she made my daughter’s wedding everything that she dreamed of. We didn't even realize that there were issues with the caterer during the reception-Gina took care of it without us even knowing. Her price was actually lower than some of the other wedding planners that we looked at. I won't hesitate to use her again when my next child gets married!

to cancel our Hawaii wedding, however even without the actual wedding itself, after a year of planning with Gina (and re-planning for two additional postponed dates), I can confidently recommend Gina to ANYONE looking to plan a wedding in Hawaii. Gina is an incredible wedding planner who has the art of planning a wedding nailed down to a T. From our initial conversation I knew Gina was the one as she was so organized, detail oriented and clearly had knowledge of the Hawaii wedding industry that proved to be invaluable throughout the process, especially for an international couple. She has thought of every single component, timeline, contingency, and consideration for planning a wedding so you don't have to. On a personal level Gina is so sweet and does an excellent job of bringing brides extravagant wedding expectations back within their budget, while also advocating for the groom's wishes (a true art!). What was most telling of Gina's character was her navigation of our wedding with the onset of COVID-19. The pandemic hit just 5 weeks out from our wedding day. Gina guided us through our options and the decision to postpone, working with each of our vendors on scheduling a new date (twice!) all while navigating an unprecedented worldwide pandemic. When we made the difficult decision to cancel the wedding all together, Gina showed great compassion and continued in assisting us in receiving vendor refunds where possible. Planning a wedding is stressful in the best of times, but choosing Gina will take the stress out of the process as much as possible. While we didn't get to meet in person, we can't wait to meet one day when we do get to visit Hawaii :)

er hard work and generous nature made the event more beautiful than I would have ever imagined. I can't rave about her enough and highly recommend her for any event.

hout much of the stress that we had heard about from friends who had already gotten married. Her tireless staff of "superheroes" (I emphasize this since I am a huge Iron Man / Tony Stark fan) really went the extra mile for us on the day of the wedding so we could be fully immersed and truly enjoy it all! Having been through a few weddings as a groomsman in the past, I was already aware of some of the day-of struggles a groom could go through. When we made it clear that eating during the reception was a priority, Gina planned and executed beautifully, giving us ample time to not only enjoy our dinner, but also time for my wife and I to enjoy small moments together during the hustle and bustle of the reception. Whether you're in need of a wedding coordinator or someone to help plan and administer a large corporate event, Gina and staff will execute your tasks with 'perfection'! Gina, Michi and I are forever indebted to you for giving us wedding we dreamed of. It really was the best day of our lives! Thank you 3,000! -Ryan & Michi Matsumoto

onversation with Gina, we were just amazed at how organized, thoughtful, and on top of things she was. Fast forward to three months out when she took over after we had finished choosing our vendors and she was amazing. She made sure we stayed on top of deadlines, made all of our decisions at the right time, and was just there to answer any questions that we had. On the day of the wedding, Gina and her team were just absolutely amazing. They made our wedding day so easy for us and made the wedding just go so smoothly. Her and her staff were always wherever we needed them to be. To sum it up, if you are looking for a wedding planner, you don't need to look further than Gina!

us. She is personable, organized, detail oriented and a foodie. Our top priority for a venue was “good food”, Gina knew exactly which venue to recommend and OMG I still can’t get over how delicious our food was at our wedding! She was mindful of our budget and vision and recommended vendors of different styles and price ranges. From someone who tends to procrastinate and can easily get overwhelmed, Gina was able to alleviate any stress I had with planning a wedding from Seattle and kept me on point with her check-lists and deadlines. She was very responsive with any questions or concerns I had during the planning process.   The day of the wedding flowed seamlessly, any hiccups we may have encountered we didn’t notice. Gina’s team made us feel like VIPs, her and her assistants made sure we were taken care of throughout the day. Her vendors were top notch and it’s easy to see the amazing relationship Gina has established with them. I can’t stop boasting about how perfect our wedding day was thanks to Gina, her team and the vendors she recommended. If you are looking for someone who is well connected, who can get things done and go above and beyond for you; we highly recommend Gina and her team at Perfection, because that is exactly what you will get!

m our very first conversation she was able to relate to the vision I had for our special day. She wasn’t pushy, she didn’t force her opinions or suggestions on us, rather she helped to find vendors and options that best suited our vision. It was very clear that she has an amazing working relationship with many vendors in O’ahu. In fact, everyone we worked with said the same thing when I told them who our wedding Planner was “You’re in great hands, Gina is amazing!”. Gina was responsive and organized. She kept me on track and worked with vendors to ensure every detail was perfect. On our wedding day, I empowered Gina to make all the decisions and she did an outstanding job! My friends and family loved her and her team too. If you are looking for a wedding planning team that is reliable, dependable, honest, friendly, supportive and fun - look no further than Gina and her team at Perfection!

us with confidence in our choices and we were very relaxed on our wedding day. Our whole family and wedding party felt taken care of on the day and everything was perfectly executed and seamless.

was the one. I work in operations and needed an effective communicator that was organized and professional with a ‘get things done right’ attitude. And even if we were a bit hesitant at first with the budget, it was the best money we spent on the wedding. All of the vendors she recommended were fantastic and Gina was extremely mindful of our style and budget in making recommendations. Every phone call we had was efficient and we were able to also work effectively over email and collaboration tools. It truly felt like we were working with the best in the business. And on the actual day, my husband and I were able to truly enjoy the wedding and completely trust and handoff all responsibilities to Gina’s team. We still cannot talk about the wedding without mentioning Gina.... I wholeheartedly recommend Gina’s services to all couples looking to get married in Hawaii!

IKE ME! She gave me 'homework' which helped solidify my ideas and details. I was so happy to be able to talk to her once a month, 4 months prior to my wedding. It was just so nice to chat over the phone with her. She made the destination wedding planning a great experience. She kept our WILD groomsman in check! She worked well with all of our vendors that we picked. We love you Gina!! Thanks for EVERYTHING!

e her enough for all her kindness, hard work and patience with us throughout the whole process. For brides (and grooms as well as hesitant mothers of the bride) that need someone to help point then in the right direction, keep them on task and help make those difficult when it comes to vendors, timelines, decor, etc Gina is a pro. Her knowledge is endless and she definitely knows how to quickly ease any stress during the planning process. We all love her to pieces and you will definitely not be disappointed!

e role a wedding planner plays, or Gina really just goes above and beyond her call of duty, I have a feeling it's the latter. From small tasks such as verifying I ate and drank water on the day of, to larger tasks such as picking up wedding cake the morning of the wedding, Gina handled it all. She pays insane amount of attention to small details, I even caught her adjusting a center piece because it wasn't perfectly centered on the table. She really does everything in her power to make sure the day is perfect including bolting over to the ring bearer before he took a fork to the wedding cake or lying on the floor of a boat to make sure she doesn't get in any pictures. As amazing as Gina is, she doesn't do it all alone! Her assistants, Jenn and Taryn, also played a huge roll on the wedding day. From turning people away to make sure me and my husband had time to eat to even standing near us to swat away flies, they were there for anything we needed! To any future grooms or brides that are reading this, she really is worth the money, and if you do work with Gina on planning your event, trust her! She will set up the "A team" of your dreams and somehow stay in or below budget! Gina named her company appropriate as she, and her team, is absolute PERFECTION.

had ideas of what I wanted but really struggled with selecting vendors, ensuring we did not miss anything major and pulling things together. Enter Gina and the Perfection team! From my first call with her, I knew she and the team would be the answer I was looking for. She was calm, insightful, sweet and organized. And even though she is an expert, she never once came across as if I was just a number. I felt like she heard me and that meant a lot. She even was kind enough to have a follow-up call to explain things to my soon-to-be husband before we entered into an agreement. Once we got started with her team things began to fall into place. The vendors she connected us with were a great match for our budget and personalities but she was there to help us vet a photographer we found and liked. The planning was a lot but it never felt too much because Gina and team had it all under control and then some! Gina was prepared for each of our meetings and she never hesitated to respond to my countless emails :) When the week arrived, the weather was wet here in Hawaii, which was enough to make this bride-to-be a tad nervous! During our walk through of the site Gina let us know we would shift the layout and move things under the pavilion. I had a hard time visualizing but she assured me it would be gorgeous. The big day came and while the weather was perfect, the grounds were still soaked. As I got to my bridal suite, Gina and her team were there ready to work but also keep me happy and calm. I never needed anything they didn't have or couldn't help with and enabled me to focus on my family, getting ready, taking pics and enjoying a glass (or 2!) or Proseco. Gina got all of the vendors in line and they all made the reception absolutely stunning. The day flew by but Gina was there to keep us on task for things that were important to us (like playing a recorded toast from my step-dad who could not join in person, me saying a few words about my grandma who could not be there and dedicating my bouquet to her, etc.) The team was so professional but fun and felt like part of the day, which was noticed by all of our guests. Our guests also commended us on how much work we put into the wedding as it was the best one they had been to! That credit belongs to the Perfection Gina team. Gina and team -- this review is long overdue but I hope you know how wonderful you made our day and that we are forever grateful! Much love and aloha, Adrienne and Jason

ll of our expectations. We began the wedding planning process with endless questions and apprehension as we were planning a wedding in Hawaii from California. Gina was extremely responsive and had an answer and/or solution to all of our questions. Because Gina is sooooo good she has the best contacts and preferred vendors that she works with to make everything you want a reality. The one thing that I personally appreciated the most was Gina’s organization. She kept us informed of everything and had Google docs and spreadsheets to help us stay organized and on schedule with everything. We cannot even think of any constructive criticism because everything was PERFECT! It is safe to say that Gina was the integral part in making July 1, 2018 the best day of our lives and making my wife's dream wedding come true. BOOK GINA IF YOU WANT THE WEDDING OF YOUR DREAMS!

eeting with Gina while we were still searching for a coordinator was that she encouraged us to find the right person for us, even if that was not her. After just one hour together, I felt that she truly cared about us as a couple and just wanted the best for us. We had high standards for a wedding coordinator, and for all our wedding vendors, but we also had a limited budget. Gina did an amazing job guiding us through the entire wedding planning process and navigating the wedding world. She allowed us to create the wedding experience that we wanted, including several unconventional things and some cultural traditions, while advising us on best practices for logistical and practical things. She really helped us figure out how to make our wedding vision come to life in the most cohesive, smart, and smooth manner. She was very responsive to all emails, questions, and concerns. She gave us valuable information and made all our decisions much easier, which was incredibly helpful for managing our decision fatigue as the wedding planning went on. She was extremely easy to talk to and, for our in-person meetings, she always checked in with both my fiancé (now husband!) and me on how life was first before diving into business. We definitely now consider Gina a good friend. As for the day of the wedding at Kualoa Ranch, Gina and her team were absolute perfection - fitting of their name. We had complete confidence and trust in Gina to help our wedding run smoothly, and we did not have to worry about a single thing that day. We could just be fully present in the moment and enjoy celebrating our love on our special day with our friends and family. In other words, we got to focus on the important things and not even think about anything else. The team also did a great job of working behind the scenes, and we felt that no one even noticed them. Everything just seemed to go miraculously according to plan. When in actuality, the team was making it all happen. I tell everyone that our wedding day was beyond perfect, and we both feel that it truly was the best day of our lives so far. I cannot say enough how wonderful it was to work with Gina. We whole heartedly recommend Gina and the Perfection team!!

-oriented, and we're so glad we found her.

uper lucky that she was still available. 1. Emails answered promptly and thoroughly. 2. Screen/projector vendor fell through 1 week before the wedding- Gina found a replacement vendor at a fraction of the price. 3. She provided a detailed checklist with everything from the timeline to items needing to be setup, returned, etc. 4. It was important for us to keep on schedule and Gina made sure we did just that and were even ahead of schedule that I had extra time to enjoy cocktail hour. 5. She walked through our event space before the wedding- no other receptions had been done there- and provided great suggestions to enhance the flow between the ceremony and reception. 6. We were able to eat our dinner in peace! 7. She was able to troubleshoot our floral disaster. 8. Any want/need I had throughout the night she took care of immediately! Many thanks to Gina and her team for allowing us to thoroughly enjoy our wedding! Bottom line: hire Perfection! - they are the BEST!!!!

with the remaining vendors we still had to book, asking questions about little details that we had never even thought of, and keeping us on track!! I tend to be a bit of a procrastinator so having Gina to help with all her reminders and checklists were extremely helpful during the months leading up to the big day. The day of the wedding was absolutely perfect! Gina and her team were on top of it making sure everything was in place and on time... all I had to do was relax until her cue to walk down the isle! Throughout the night her team worked hard to ensure all aspects of the wedding ran smoothly - if there were any hiccups during the day, we surely didn't notice. Our family and friends were equally impressed and commented on how great they thought the planning team was. The best part - once the wedding was over, I didn't have to do a thing but leave! Everything was picked up, cleaned, and all our decorations were put back into our cars just waiting for us to take them back home. This allowed all our family and guests to continue on with the celebrations without having to worry about cleaning up! Gina helped make our wedding the absolute best day ever - I can't thank her enough!!!

o what we wanted and when we didn't know what we wanted, offered experienced advice for us to consider; she provided us with a GREAT selection of vendors - all of the vendors were top-notch, friendly and professional; she was so easy to reach out to and was responsive to our emails and questions; she's amazing at getting things done (AND done on time); she coordinated all of the vendors and various parties involved so that the wedding day ran SMOOTHLY. This was a destination wedding for us and it was such a pleasure and relief to have such a RELIABLE and ENJOYABLE wedding planner to work with throughout the entire journey!

ts on how enjoyable, memorable and wonderful my wedding was from my guests. I attribute most of that to Gina! Things ran so smoothly, I did not have to worry about a thing! (and believe me, I am totally Type A and love to be in control of things). Gina is so trustworthy, meticulous and efficient... that my mom (who also is a bit of a control freak) totally entrusted Gina with everything as well! After interviewing a few coordinators, Gina just was the perfect pick! She has been in the business long enough to know all the details needed for a perfect day. All the vendors love her too, and would tell me how much they love to work with her! She has wonderful suggestions and recommendations, especially when I wasn't sure what to do. Her timeline that she creates is honestly.. perfection! My cousin, who was our MC, was so impressed at how organized, professional, efficient and humorous Gina is! He said that she made his job so easy as she guided him through the reception without a hitch! It's wonderful to work with someone who loves their job and making other peoples' day wonderful! Aside of being so professional, she is such a wonderful person! I am happy to consider her a friend as well! She truly cares about her clients, their families and their moments! Thank you Gina and the Perfection staff for making our wedding a day such a success!!

fun! From our first meeting she was able to take very broad "ideas" with some specific Pinterest images and create a perfect embodiment of what we wanted. The day of was even more impressive, we were married at Kualoa Ranch, with ceremony on Secret Island and Reception at Hale Nanea. The logistics involved to get guests back and forth were daunting but it was flawless. We were VERY blessed with torrential downpours during the reception, Gina and her team didn't flinch and kept the party going regardless of the mudpit the venue had become. We couldn't have dreamed of a better wedding and we have Gina to thank for that!

l this wedding planning business, so we really needed someone to assist us from Oahu. We found Gina on The Knot and after one conversation we knew she was our perfect fit. She catered her services to exactly what we needed and she helped us along every step of the way. She provided advise on vendors, venues, ambiance, scheduling, prices, on and on. She was (is) organized, professional, always friendly and helpful and ALWAYS on top of her game. Every vendor I spoke to had nothing but praise for Gina and her staff. On the day of the wedding, we honestly could not have done it without Gina and her amazing staff. They kept us on schedule, kept the vendors on schedule and kept the day running smoothly. Gina and staff also provided support when we were nervous or anxious and helped keep the wild guests in line! :) They made the day perfect for us. Two months later and our guests are still saying what an amazing wedding it was. We would recommend Gina to every single person planning a wedding.

but she made sure that everything was covered down to the very detail. If we had to do it all over again, Gina and her team would be the first on our list. You will not be disappointed and we are very thankful for all their hard work in making our special day a very memorable one.
