SD Weddings by Gina

e I think It would have made the planning experience less stressful and more enjoyable. Especially since she has so much experience and is beyond organized (Exactly what I was looking for since I am a bit OCD). Although we only hired her for a “Day of Coordinator”, she was available months before and even came along to the food tasting at the venue. I am so happy she was around to help out with everything. If you are looking for a wedding planner, book her now, you will not be sorry.

nd responsive - with Gina I had that - I also got: charismatic, charming, and level-headed, with an engaging smile and soft power. She asked me in our first meeting what mattered most to me while planning and I told her responsiveness. She took that to heart and I never waited to hear back from her. She handled the simplest worry and the most dramatic concerns with competence and kindness. She never pushed me toward anything but rather led me. Our wedding could not have gone better. The vendors Gina recommended performed beautifully and there was no stress throughout the planning process and through wedding day. It was clear that all of the people who worked this venue genuinely liked her and I understand why. I felt confident to let Gina run the wedding and it was seamless. I can guarantee hiring Gina will be your best decision.

very comforting to me that she was there to help at any time, which was important as we were planning our wedding from a different state. I really liked Gina’s style and her suggested vendor lists, the ones that I picked were really great to work with and fits my version! Overall, our wedding went very smoothly, it was almost like a dream wedding came true for me, the best day! Thanks Gina!

essful for everyone involved, but Gina has a very calming, assuring attitude and she’s a pro! Gina also knows everyone in the industry and she was able to refer me to amazing vendors. My wedding day was seamless and I owe a great amount of this to her!

s never nervous that something was slipping through the cracks. I shared my vision for the big day with Gina and she executed it even better than I imagined! The day of was absolutely perfect and would recommend Gina to anyone. She is the best!

or and I trusted her opinion on everything. She is very quick to respond to emails or texts. She made it so the day of there was no stress at all and everything went so well! Highly, highly recommend!!

e of everything. We didn’t have to waste any time, brain capacity or emotion dealing with a single issue or question because we were in good hands. We even got to sit down and eat!!! Gina came recommended by a coworker who had all the same wonderful things to say about her. Once we met her, we easily felt comfortable and loved her personality and knowledge of the wedding industry. From the beginning, she was able to take our thoughts and ideas and put them into motion. Her execution on the big day did not disappoint! She gives great, honest advice when needed and recommended THE BEST vendors. Leading up to our big day Gina was extremely responsive, organized and always on top of it. She is so fun, sweet, funny and professional. She took away any stress or anxiety we had about planning a wedding. We love Gina and highly recommend her!!! She will totally exceed your expectations ❤️

went as smooth as possible. Big Indian weddings are not easy to coordinate but Gina and her assistant made sure that everyone felt comfortable and enjoyed themselves. Every bride and groom wants to feel like royalty on their big day and Gina made us feel like a prince and princess. And best of all, she did everything with a big smile. Gina is so easy to work with and I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a wedding planner. Her thoughtfulness and attention to detail is the reason we had such a successful and spectacular weekend!

over the world and are twice over your guest count, it becomes chaos. Gina answered all of my questions (sometimes several times over) and made the entire planning process easy and flawless. She recommended amazing vendors and followed up with them when I was unable. My wedding would not have gotten off the ground if it was not for Gina and I would highly recommend her to anyone planning a wedding.

o smooth. Gina was always prompt to follow up and provided insight and ideas to help guide us through the decision process. I had zero stress the day of the wedding and everything was implemented and executed flawlessly. I would've paid ten times the amount we paid for her. Definitely worth the money.

e used each and every one of her recommendations. She was such a pleasure to work with, my mom and I would actually make our meetings with her lunch meetings because it felt just like hanging with an old friend. Gina made the entire planning experience so fun, and also put me at ease because she is such a seasoned pro, you really don't have to worry about much. She was actually referred to us by our venue, which speaks volumes. She could literally run a wedding with her eyes closed, and I was so grateful to have her thoughts and honest opinions on any given details or questions I had throughout the entire process. She essentially acted as a full time planner for me, and I couldn't have asked for anything more-thank you Gina!

re everything is brought in from the outside. Everything from chairs, tables, dishes, food and well, everything. From the first meeting with Gina it was obvious that she would handle all aspects of the wedding with calm, competent professionalism. That she did in spades. She helped us with the major vendor decisions like florist, caterer, photographer, videographer and party rentals but what else made Gina indispensable was her recommendations for many other things like the wedding hotel, limousine service, and bus shuttles among others. Once the major decisions are made she works with everyone to make sure all the details are taken care of on time and making sure nothing falls through the cracks. She works closely with the bride and the vendors on the wedding day timeline and coordinates all. She is there directing the rehearsal and stays at the venue on the wedding day from set up to take down. What a relief it was to have Gina running the show and having to do nothing the day of but relax and enjoy. On top of everything Gina answered all of my hundreds of questions in a timely and patient manor. She was a delight to work with which made everything easy. I cannot recommend Gina highly enough. She was the key to our successful wedding.

. I asked the vendors I visited who they would recommend, knowing they work with many coordinators, and Gina's name was the first one out of EVERY single person's mouth! My fiancé and I made another trip out there to meet with her and we were not disappointed. She has a fantastic personality, so she was easy to get along with, and she was very organized and detailed. She helped me with so many different aspects of my wedding, even though I had a rehearsal and day of package. Gina went above and beyond for us, and it's clear that is just how she operates. I completely understand why every vendor I spoke to LOVES her, because I know Alec and I would have had a much different experience without her! Thank you Gina! We are forever grateful to you for making our wedding so magical!

the details and helped to keep me sane while I hashed out all of my ideas and concerns. Gina is detail oriented, patient with the bride and honest about expectations. We were initially unhappy with our venue contacts and Gina helped to turn all of that around, resulting in a day that was more perfect than I could have ever imagined!

sion for what I wanted, I had too many opinions from family and friends that were messing with my head. I contacted several wedding planners, and Gina was by far the most professional and followed up with me after we spoke over the phone. We had two face to face meetings, she attended two of my vendor meetings, and we had endless text messages, emails, and phone calls. From working with vendors, helping with contracts/negotiating, recommendations, handling my giant family, and late night anxious text messages, she was a saving grace. The whole day of the wedding she was always one step ahead. Even when I showed up at the ceremony and noticed that the flowers had not arrived, she had already calmed me and said they were just down the road. She updated me when I needed it, but was also very discreet. I was also very happy that EVERYTHING started on time according to our timeline!! (I'm a stickler for punctuality). At the end of the night, everything was already packed up and ready to go. Even the next day, I texted her a question and she knew exactly where the items were placed. I was beyond impressed with everything she did for us and she made our dream wedding come true. My family and friends even asked for her info (for any upcoming events in the future)!!! I highly recommend her and so happy to have had her!

with or wedding planning here in San Diego. Gina knows all the right places and all the right people. Most important, she listened to us and always delivered exactly what we asked for! When we asked for ANYTHING she got it done and made sure we were in touch with the best of the best. When I would ask her opinion she would know exactly how to help and gave the best advice. I really trusted her with our big day! We felt so comfortable with her and she made us feel at ease. She always remained calm, cool and collective...especially when we were freaking out! Her communication was outstanding and she was VERY EASY to get a hold of. Her responses were always quick and very detailed. Our wedding day turned out perfect and we owe it all to Gina! Thank you soooo much Gina you are seriously the best and you are so much fun to work with. We would recommend her to ANYBODY! If you want your wedding day to be everything you’ve ever dreamed of LEAVE IT TO GINA! <3

took care of every detail, allowing us and our families to enjoy the wedding day stress-free. All of our guests commented on how efficient and professional she was. She was familiar with our venue and many of our other vendors. If you are having a wedding in San Diego Gina is the obvious choice!

old of, she's incredibly responsive - which is important when you are living far away from your wedding venue. She helped us find phenomenal vendors - which is really important. She was a source of stability when our venue switched coordinators 3 times on us, and were very difficult to work with - Gina was there to help smooth out the process. We did some DIY stuff, and Gina helped make that happen on day of without me worrying about it. We did a super non-traditional wedding - Gina helped our visions become a reality. We are so happy we were able to work with her. Definitely make the decision to hire Gina as your wedding planner!!

ng run smoothly and if there was anything that wasn't running smoothly, I definitely didn't know about it (which is exactly what you want from a planner?) Gina, thank you so much for making our dreams a reality- we love you and wish we could do it all over again!

endors she recommended were outstanding! We are so happy to have had the wedding day we did and we could not have done it without Gina!

tings, etc. She became more than our planner, we felt like she was a friend of ours we had known for years! She is amazing in every way. She helped us choose the best vendors, gave us great ideas on decorations and wedding guest presents, kept us organized and made the whole process so fun! I would highly recommend her in a heartbeat! She's the best planner out there and will help you have the most amazing wedding! Thanks Gina, you are AMAZING!

e servers and entertainment. You really need Gina. Thanks again.

e was a life saver! She knew the vendors in the area well and her recommendations were spot on for what we wanted. The vendors spoke very highly of her as well. Through the entire process she was amazing. We loved how accessible she made herself. I could not be more pleased with how our wedding day turned out. It was everything we wanted. Gina is great to work with! I HIGHLY recommend her!

he wedding, (and especially the day of) she was so warm, helpful, and extremely detail oriented, mixed with this really wonderful, fun spirit. She took intricately detailed notes with such ease, was present with what we wanted, and I will recommend her to anyone at anytime. She went way above and beyond to make sure our day was everything we wanted it to be all while her warmth and positivity felt like she was one of our close friends. Gina is definitely doing exactly what her true calling is. We love her!!!!!!!

hing but amazing things from my cousin so I wanted to jump right in! We booked her for partial wedding planning. From our first conversation, Gina established a great rapport, understood our vision, and set out a clear action plan. My work schedule is incredibly hectic so having her was my literally saving grace! Hands down, hiring her was one of the best decisions through out the wedding planning process. She kept on plan, was incredibly responsive, flexible, positive, and always looking out for our best interest with all the vendors. On the day of the wedding, my husband and I were able to focus on our big day and truly be in the moment - and we could only owe that to Gina. We had an amazing time and our guests raved about it as well! She's the best!!

Gina due to her ideas, enthusiasm, and calm demeanor. It was immensely helpful to have Gina’s vendor recommendations (and then insight when deciding between different vendors) and to be able to ask her any question that came to mind. Although we were technically working with Gina “month of,” she met with us two times before the wedding and was willing to answer emails/calls throughout the planning process. Two weeks before the wedding, she completely took over and I was able to enjoy myself leading up to the wedding without worrying about the minutiae. On the day of, Gina was on top of everything and allowed me to just relax and enjoy my big day. I cannot say enough positive things about Gina – she is the perfect person to help you plan your day.

she always gave me honest advice. I had some tricky family things to deal with and Gina understood and made everything work out. No issues. Bottom line is that she's incredibly pleasant to be around and amazing at what she does. What else do you need in a planner? *oh AND she posted a picture on Instagram of me in my wedding dress that the designer reposted -- SO cool. *

ything and anything. The vendors she recommended were also amazing and the respect they all have for Gina will only help you!! I would recommend Gina to be your coordinator, hands down! I miss her already :)

hem - and that's how it should be on your wedding day. I couldn't have asked for more!

nators, but after meeting with Gina I knew she was the one! Super organized and detail-oriented, calm and assuring (a MUST for when the process gets stressful!), super experienced and basically just the best ever. We even had multiple guests commenting on how "amazing" and "legit!" she was, particularly impressed by the detailed and comprehensive timeline she creates for you, your bridal party/family and vendors (that she even sends out to everyone!). She truly is amazing at what she does.

tful, thorough, and simply amazing. I only hired her as a Day-of wedding planner, but I felt like she was with me throughout the whole process because we were able to communicate constantly and she was so prompt with her email replies. Also, she always had a smile on her which also made us enjoy the whole planning process because her positive attitude made us so excited for our special day. I would definitely recommend Gina to all of my friends who are or will be getting married soon." She is simply THE best.

lly lived up to. I didn't have to think twice about hiring her as she was extremely confident and organized. Though I hired her for day of help she was so helpful leading up to the big day. I sent her a lot of emails/texts asking her tons of questions and getting advice and she was always so prompt and professional in her responses. We met a couple of times in advance to go over details and she really helped relieve the tension leading up to the day as I saw it all slowly come together with her superior organizational skills. As for the day of, I can honestly say it was as close to perfect as any Bride can hope for. My mom and I were stressed leading up to it hoping everything would go smoothly and looking back I can say it was absolutely amazing how well everything was organized and stuck to the schedule. I got so many compliments from our guests about how amazing the wedding ceremony and reception were - many complimented that it has been one of the best they went to in a long time! And I can confidently say that Gina contributed many creative ideas and helped make my day so perfect! I adore her and would highly recommend her as your Wedding Coordinator - she's worth every dime! XOXO

stions I had and also provided me with great recommendations (in which I used transportation, flowers and hotel). Even after my own thorough research, I still always ended up going with her recs as they were the best, as far as what I was looking for and budget. I wish I could've had Gina with me longer! She really listens to you and gets a feel for what you envision. Day of, I did not have to worry about anything (as I normally would always do - worry!); I just enjoyed my day. Anything I brought up, she had already had it covered or taken care of. That kind of work and professionalism, to me, is priceless. Even my now husband, commented how great she is and we all know how guys normally don't even notice those types of things during the planning process! My only gripe day of was that it went by wayyyy too fast, it was almost dreamlike! If Gina could stop and rewind time I think she would! No need to look further for someone to take care of you and your wedding - Gina is awesome!!

me wrangle other vendors who wouldn't respond in a timely fashion. Gina really helped my stress levels, she took charge of all the vendors to make sure they showed up on time and in the right place. She somehow managed to get our wedding party to do the same :) The day of my wedding went so smoothly, I didn't worry about a single detail because I knew Gina had it taken care of. Everything was in its right place the way I wanted it. I couldn't have been happier. I got Gina through a friend recommendation and I would definitely recommend her to anyone who asks.

eeting with Gina she put us at ease, laughed with us, but also got down to business. She allowed us to make our own decisions but always had advice to give when asked. She stays completely zen the whole time, and she doesn't overwhelm you. We started about 10 months before the wedding - and I was never stressed about vendor selection throughout the entire process. If I had a question - I could text her and she'd respond promptly (I swear the woman hardly sleeps!) Gina just made the whole planning process easy. When the wedding weekend arrived - she was available for questions - I even texted her at 10p the night before to ask about napkins (the weird things a bride worries about). The day of she checked in with me early, ensured our vendors were arriving, and when she showed up to my room to collect all of the decor I had brought myself I thought there was NO WAY this was going to all work. But everything came out exactly as I had envisioned. At one point I had three people asking me questions at once - and Gina just stepped in and resolved it all in 30 seconds. I was able to enjoy a relaxing day with my Mom, MIL, and bridesmaids - and got to soak in just being pampered and being a bride - as I knew that Gina had it covered. Thank you Gina for ensuring our day was perfect and allowing us to really soak in the experience instead of worrying about logistics.

h of Love" package so we were able to have a couple of meetings with her as well as have her take over coordinating all of the vendors the month of. It was a huge relief to be able to refer everyone to Gina during that month when they were all contacting us at the same time needing day-of information. Gina was very enthusiastic and positive about our planning process . She was easy to get ahold of when I needed her and was always very quick to reply. What made me choose her above the others that I interviewed was how organized she was at our first meeting and by her asking about my family dynamic and if everyone got along on our initial phone meeting. Knowing that she was one step ahead of me and ready to help manage the sensitive relationships in my family was HUGE for us. My husband also can't stop talking about how she was immediately standing by with a beer for him once family photos began.

timeline, contacted all the vendors, and referred me to other vendors that I still needed (whom I went with and SO glad I did!). I would highly recommend Gina to anyone planning a wedding, she relieves all stress! It will be the best money you spend for your big day!

y details on my wedding day/week. Since I did most of the planning throughout the year, being able to give all the last minute details to her was not only relieving but reassuring. Gina is sweet and seems to genuinely care about her clients. She always responded to my emails and phone calls promptly and never made me feel like I was bothering her. I highly recommend a coordinator at least for the month or week before your wedding, and I HIGHLY recommend Gina! Thank you for everything Gina!

booked her for the "day of" and looking back on the day, I can't imagine not having her. She met with me in person to go through details and helped me with the timeline for the weekend, which was a Godsend. Turns out I didn't know as much as I thought : ) My wedding day went totally as planned, which is what I hoped for. I've always heard that there will be mishaps during the wedding day/weekend, but mine was pretty much flawless. Things went as planned and were on time. Gina and her team are so calm, cool and collected. I have absolutely no complaints or gripes about the service provided by Gina and her team. I could not have been happier with booking her.

lable to meet with me especially after hours since I work late. In addition, she was very response via e-mail and text at any time of the day. I am not sure if she even sleeps! She was also very helpful in finding various options for our budget and always made sure to keep options within reason and to our needs. Since I am not much of a designer or into fashion, she made sure to give me pointers and inspired me with her fashion sense. Throughout the process, Gina was readily available to meet with us whenever we needed to make a big decision. On the other hand, we were able to make our own final decisions which was important since this was our big day. The day of the wedding couldn’t have gone any better. She met with us a few days before the wedding to go over the logistics and to make sure everything was in place. Everything went according to the agenda she set in place for the day based on our requests. To be honest, I simply would look at Gina and she would tell us what to do. I did not have any worries that day. Everyone raved how smooth the day went and how well our wedding coordinator managed all of our guests’ needs. I am already recommending her to people I know and am so glad that Gina was our wedding coordinator. Thank you so much, Gina!

lanning my wedding on Oct 25, 2014. My family totally surprised her by adding a traditional African engagement a day before the wedding. Gina was professional and calm. She was able to work with me and my family to plan a three day wedding celebration. During my wedding. i was not stressed at all. Gina had everything handled. My days were smooth and it was the best ever. She kept us on time for the wedding and we enjoyed our day. My family and friends could not stop saying how great she was and is. Gina was there to answer all questions for me and my family. She was prompt in getting back to us and efficient. She even kept me in check with my budget. Thank you Gina and your Staff. I can honestly say Gina's services are top notch. I also ended this experience getting to know a great person and now I can say Friend.

ly felt like I was in good hands. She went through the list of things that she would help me with and how she would be there the entire day of and the entire rehearsal. I tend to be a very organized planner so I wasn't worried about that side of things but I was worried about how to get everything set up and people where they needed to be. Gina assured me that she would take care of all of that. We met two more times before the wedding and, let me tell you, those meetings were amazing. Not only did Gina and I get a chance to get to know one another, she reminded me of things I had not even thought of, like picking a specific song for the bouquet toss or where to put everyone in the seating chart and even where to place to party favors to make sure everyone gets one. She put me at such ease with the planning process. The day of the rehearsal, Gina made it all the way from another rehearsal she had to coordinate. Everything went off great and I felt extremely prepared. The day of the wedding, Gina was behind the scenes taking care of things that I had no idea were even going on (dropped hors d'oeuvres, missing cakes and seating debacles). She kept everyone on schedule and where they needed to be. Her assistant had to go get our cakes because no one had picked them up. She arranged all my favors and side tables exactly as we discussed. Our wedding was one of the most beautiful, stress-free events thanks to Gina. I was blown away by how my ceremony room looked and how she was able to keep all the drama away from me the entire night. I honestly had NO idea what was going on until the days after our event. For that alone I am so grateful to Gina.

ve and work as doctors in Los Angeles, but were planning a wedding in San Diego, and Gina did the most amazing job working with our crazy schedules. We felt like we had an instant chemistry with Gina: she does a great job making you feel at ease and is so easy to talk to. She's pleasant, collected, bubbly, and hyper-efficient, which just worked so well with our personalities. She helped us plan our wedding almost from the beginning, and was indispensable every step of the way. Every time we were ready to pick out a new vendor, whether it was the caterer, florist, or DJ, all we had to do was contact her (via email and text) and she would send a list of 3-4 vendors within a day. That REALLY helped cut down all the research my husband and I would have otherwise had to do, which was time we simply didn't have. She had such great contacts that we trusted the choices she sent us. Gina clearly has a lot of experience in planning weddings, and that fact really made itself apparent with each encounter- every little problem or question I had, whether it was big or little, had an answer that was completely do-able and reasonable. She is reliable, super-nice, and efficient. Our wedding really was best day we've ever had in our lives, and while that may have been the case whether or not we had a planner, Gina made the journey towards that day as easy and enjoyable as possible :)

as very knowledgeable and made the planning process easy. Gina gave plenty of information about everything from the venue, to food choices, to design ideas, to dealing with family members! I was so glad that she was available to talk anytime on the phone or through email, and responded promptly. On the day of the wedding she definitely took care of everything! My favorite part was her guarding the "sweetheart table" so that my husband and I could actually enjoy our meal! (She wouldn't even let my mom through). All of our events were exactly on time and went flawlessly. I would recommend Gina to anyone who wants an exceptional planner who is fun and gets the job done better than you could imagine it yourself!

Once we booked Callie to be our day-of coordinator, both Gina and Callie got the ball rolling. They were both very helpful and assisted me with any questions or concerns that I had. The timeline that they created was great and better than any that I was going to put together on my own. On the day of our event I started to feel slightly frantic knowing that our decor was still in our hotel suite, but Callie had things under control. She also came to my rescue when I was starting to feel faint while taking pictures at the alter with family and bridal party. The entire event went smoothly and I was very happy with how everything turned out. I know a lot of the success came with having Callie there, she made it happen, and all of my family and friends got to relax and have fun. I had lots of people compliment me saying that they had such a great time and how there were no "issues". Thanks, Callie and Gina for all of your hard work! I'd highly recommend them for your special day. :)

e had seemed to know her and love her. On the day of she was flexible at the right times and kept every one moving. The guests even raved about her. Do yourself a favor -- hire her! Worth every penny and then some.

ghter and what her magical wedding day should be. Gina organized a timeline for the wedding day, coordinated and followed-up with the vendors. She was accessible via email, text, and phone. Always took time to answer questions, very helpful with suggestions and knowledgeable of the venue, The Dana. Day of the wedding she choreographed the day beautifully. She was cordial and friendly to the venders, The Dana staff, and most importantly took care of bride and groom needs. Gina and her staff were worth every penny. They were professional and made sure all details were taken care of. Gina was instrumental in providing a stress free day for use as well as a memorable and magical wedding day for our daughter. Thank YOU Gina and staff!

ty, keeping everyone calm, and always being very reassuring. I would highly recommend her services to anyone that needs some support, however minor or huge. Thanks, Gina!

ey were nothing but patient and helpful. We selected the "month of" package, but liked that we were able to inquire about anything, anytime during our whole engagement. We decided not to have our wedding at a venue, but at out house instead. Most may think, "what's the point in having a WC", but it made a huge difference. Callie was our primary coordinator and did a tremendous job. She was knowledgable, confident and I barely new that there were any issues. I gave her diagrams for our tables and they were perfect. I looked to her for advice on many little things that you wouldn't think would matter and she handled them. Gina and her team to an outstanding job!

came across Gina upon a recommendation from a friend, and I never looked back! At our first meeting, I really got to see how organized, knowledgeable, and sweet she really was, and booked her the next day. Throughout the entire wedding planning process (about a year), Gina was there for me, immediately answering emails (sometimes quite a few per day!) and offering suggestions. She also has great relationships with many of the top wedding vendors in San Diego, allowing for perfect referrals to fit your budget/vision. In fact, basically ALL my vendors were referrals from Gina. It was so nice to sit back and have confidence that the vendors she had referred were excellent. I didn't have to "shop around" for the best vendors, or contact/set up appointments to see if they fit our budget/personality; Gina knew what we wanted and what we could afford, offering suggestions that were perfect for us. All this led to my husband and I having a truly dream day on our wedding. It was everything we wanted, and that was honestly in large part due to Gina! We could not have pulled it off without her :)

ne of the venues we were originally going to book with told us we had to go with her because she was so great, so even though we didn't go with that venue, we went with her! Gina is a very creative, friendly, positive and organized person. She provided us with referrals to amazing vendors and kept everything straight and organized and everyone on the same page which to me seemed impossible to do. The vendors that we worked with actually discounted their prices because we had Gina as our planner. So really, this paid for her cost if that makes sense! Having Gina also kept me grounded. I’m one of those crazy people who stress out over the details and making sure everything is good to go. There were days where I literally called and/or texted her over 20 times and she was ALWAYS happy to help and always went above and beyond. She was also a life saver with our venue because their management was a disaster so she saved the day and even went head to head with another planner the day of our wedding who was trying to infringe on our space for another wedding taking place. She always put us first and made sure everything was exactly how we wanted it. Another thing that I really appreciated about her, even though some may think this is a small thing, is that after the ceremony, she literally had drinks in her hand for my husband and I. Genius! And, she reminded us to eat once the reception got started because she knew we wouldn't sit down and eat because way too much was going on. Hiring her was the best decision we made. Our wedding LITERALLY would NOT have been the same without her and her team. I would recommend SD Wedding by Gina to ANYONE and EVERYONE!!!!!!!

wedding. We met twice prior to our big day and she blew me away with her professionalism, eagerness, positive attitude and tireless attention to detail. She was quick to respond to any questions I had along the way, and handled all of the vendor pre- wedding communication the week of so I didn't have to stress! The big day went off flawlessly...inevitably something always goes wrong, but not on Gina's watch! She's a rock star and a true professional...one that I will gladly and highly recommend! Thank you, Gina, for our dream wedding come true!

nic attacks and being a major worry wart she totally handled everything in calm manner. She enjoys doing what she does and it surely reflects her business. I had no guidance beforehand and she was able to direct me in any way that she could. I basically just had to say if this or that was ok..and if I had any ideas I would ask her opinion and responded very quickly. I like that I was able to reach her any time of the day. She's an awesome person and I felt like a made a friend out of it :)

ugh to have some really great contacts, and many of them gave us discounts on their services since we were referred by Gina. One of the things I liked most about Gina is that she thought of the small details that I never would have if it wasn't for her. She also knew what I wanted and worked hard to make it happen with our vendors and did all the negotiating for me. When our wedding day came I was calm and relaxed and didn't have to worry about a thing because I knew Gina had everything taken care of! Planning a wedding can be stressful, but having Gina to help made it an enjoyable experience and I am so happy that we had her for our day!

that was a good personality fit because you would be working with them a lot. I found Gina through a yelp search and after my first conversation with her was confident that I would like working with her. Although we originally hired Gina for month of planning, we quickly switched to a more detailed package once we found the vendor selection process difficult from New York. She provided great vendor recommendations (we ended up loving everyone we worked with) and she guided us through the planning process making sure that we had all the information that we needed and were on time. I really appreciated Gina on the wedding day when this typically hands on, type A girl didn't even think twice about all the details that needed to coordinated. She was a pleasure to work with and I would recommend her for both long distance and local couples looking for a coordinator that will compliment their wedding planning process.

fectious. When my husband and I first met her, it was via a Skype mtg as we live two hours away from the San Diego area. After our mtg we knew right away that she was the one for us. Even though we hired her for her month of wedding services, she was available for us and my thousands of questions as soon as we hired her! I tell you, you send her an email, she will respond back before you can blink....no lie. Since our wedding was sort of a destination wedding, we really needed a lot of help with finding our vendors. I provided Gina a budget and she QUICKLY provided me a list of vendors she's worked with, that were within our budget. I'm telling you, she is on top of it! Every time we met with Gina, she had a welcoming smile. She is very attentive and gave great suggestions in helping us execute our vision. If there were ever any concerns/questions we had may have had with the vendors we hired, she would step in and try to help facilitate things so that everyone was on the same page. She created a detailed wedding timeline that she forwarded to everyone in our wedding party. It's was flawless. The day of the wedding, she even helped set up some our stuff! We gave her the things we wanted placed around the venue (and it was a lot of stuff, candle holders, favors, card box, pictures, etc) the day before the wedding. On our wedding day she was perfect. She was everywhere making sure everyone knew where they needed to be at, what they needed to do and when they needed to do it....all with a SMILE!! If there were any hiccups, I certainly wasn't aware and that's they way it should be and it was. At the end of the wedding Gina stuck around and helped pack the stuff we had her set up for the wedding and she even helped take it to our car...what wedding coordinator does that?!?! Gina does! I can't stop raving about her and her services. She is by far the best and I would hire her ten times over.

sal and the wedding itself. Our day ran so smooth, if there were any problems that occured, we never knew about them. She ensured we stayed on time during our reception, which helped us not feel rushed. San Diego Weddings by Gina is #1 in my book, and I look forward to referring her services in the future!

Dana and negotiated the minimum for a Friday wedding down to the Sunday minimum price. She saved us $2,000 before we ever even booked her. She was so dynamic and engaging I couldn't help but feel immediately at ease with her. Needless to say we booked her then and there. (Right after booking our date at the venue!). I only paid for the "day-of" services as we were working on a tight budget. Although I opted for the smallest package she offered Gina responded to every single question and concern either over email or phone immediately. I cannot tell you how comforting this was to a bride who was 1. graduating law school 2. studying for the bar and 3. taking the bar a week before her wedding! On top of quickly responding Gina gave me a TON of advice on everything from vendors to etiquette. She recommended every vendor I booked with the exception of one (who was actually the only vendor there was a small issue with). She gave me recommendations that were within my budget and each and every one blew me away. She ran my rehearsal like a pro, it was quick and efficient. The day of my wedding Gina was able to be in a million places at once. She had an assistant with her but I really believe this superwoman could have done it all even if she didn't. She put me at ease each time I got nervous about one thing or another. But by this point I was so confident in her that I wasn't even concerned about the venue, setup, decorations, etc. The best part was she was such a quiet presence that you wouldn't have known she was a wedding planner if you didn't know it! She quietly ran the show with PERFECTION. There wasn't one hiccup on my day, or if there was she never let me know. For that I will always be grateful. Countless people told me I had the most organized and well run wedding they'd ever been to. The entire evening flowed perfectly. Even AFTER the wedding she was immediately responsive when I had questions. My ONLY regret is that we didn't take a picture at the end of the night :-). I cannot thank Gina enough for making my wedding perfect!

tive and helpful. She goes above and beyond to make your dream wedding come true. She helped me getting all the vendors that we need and her recommendations was superb! Thanks Gina for helping me through out all the process, I would never make it without your help! She's an AMAZING Wedding Planner and for all the brides to be You will def need her help ! XOXO

s promptly, and is always calm. No matter the minor hiccup. We hired Gina for the full service package. From the start we needed Gina to go above and beyond because we were planning our wedding from Europe. She gathered ideas, arranged meetings with venders that met our tastes and worked around when we were stateside. She understood our wedding concept, not only was she able to provide the right people for the job, but help me when I needed someone to bounce ideas off of. She helped an extravagant dream become real, and didn’t miss a beat. Gina, you are beyond amazing. You kept us calm when we needed you, you helped me create the luxurious California/Mediterranean wedding that I visualized, and Sam and I both adore you. You are a beautiful person and we are so happy you were our wedding planner. Thank you so much. -S & S

ention and help to make our day so special. -Jacqueline Garcia

nnected me and my fiancé with all of the vendors and arranged all the contracts. She set up all of the meeting times, appointments and attended the meetings with us. She is connected with an extraordinary group of people and collectively they make a great team. As stressful as planning a wedding can be, Gina helped ease all of that by keeping things on track with a timeline and always being available when I needed her. She has a vast knowledge of ALL things wedding and really knows her business through and through. It really helped knowing that I was working with a professional who loves her job. As for my wedding day, I could not have dreamed for a more beautiful day. I did not have any "surprises" and if anything did go wrong, I never knew. Gina stayed through my entire wedding (over 8 hours) and handled everything, including staying until after my wedding had ended and handling the finishing touches. I was able to experience my wedding day exactly as a bride should... with joy, celebration and loved ones and that was all thanks to Gina! I would highly recommend her and look forward to maintaining a friendship with her for years to come. Thanks again Gina!!!! Much love!!!

zy questions and dilemmas. Without hesitation and ALWAYS a smile she gave me the best advice and a vendor list that made all of our dreams come true for the BIG DAY!! If I could do it again I would hire her for the whole planning process so I could have her by my side. Every bride should be so lucky to have her as their wedding coordinator.

re for me every step of the way. She always had good insight and was very responsive to my emails/texts/phone calls. On the day of the wedding she made sure everything flowed at just the right time and was courteous to all my family and friends. She made sure that I knew what was going on at all times and made my wedding day simply PERFECT. She even set up all the minor details to the exact look I was going for. Meeting her was a delight and she really cares about how you feel and what you want on your wedding day. :)

turned my calls and texts about every dumb concern I had! To say I was blown away by her professionalism and commitment to her job would be an understatement. At first I was concerned about the additional cost of hiring her, but she got me $3000 off my reception site which more than covered her fee. And she really handled everything for me. Every couple weeks, I'd get a text like "time to pick a florist." Then I'd tell her my budget and she'd send me a couple choices that were in my budget range. I'd pick someone and Gina would work out the contract details. It couldn't have been easier! There are just so many options out there and Gina saved me so much time and stress by narrowing it all down for me. The planning was a snap and I came in on budget and it was a perfect wedding. Then, the day of she was a genius. We found out a week before the wedding that the hotel had booked a conference in my ballroom on the same day so Gina was only going to have about 2 hours to get the room decorated for my wedding. If no one had told me, I never would have known. It was totally seamless and my room was perfectly ready when guests arrived. She also had a timeline so the whole day went like clock work. She even followed me around the wedding to make sure I was eating! Those are only a couple of examples of how great she was, but I have a million! I honestly just can't say enough good things. She made the planning fun and easy and gave me a great wedding day. No matter what your budget, or how crazy your requests, Gina will make it happen and it will be better than you'd imagined. Look no further, Gina's your girl!

uld be prepared to work with them on the day. She met with us three times before our wedding, and true to her word, she always responded *immediately* to any email we sent her, which made her a pleasure to work with and showed us that we were important to her. Despite major setbacks and delays from other vendors on our wedding day, Gina was able to coordinate and rearrange the events to get the most out of our limited time on the day, and she helped make our wedding day special, from getting ready in the morning to the drive-off at the end of the night. We definitely couldn't have pulled off our wedding without her.

and I made it work. Whatever the time, problem, question(s), she answered faithfully. I ended up just texting her just to see how she was because I felt that close with her but she still remained professionally. The day of my wedding she was awesome, I felt like every bride should, calm and happy because she made me feel like she had everything under control. My husband and I really only meet her weeks before the wedding, but we both felt like we had already known her.She was organized, professional, and she had an answer and options to all questions I asked. From the bottom of my heart, I love you and so glad I picked you...

ad. I even had guests comment on how well they did to make our wedding run so smoothly. I have already reccommended them to everyone I know getting married :)
