The Wedding Planner

lanners and they were my inspiration for looking). I didn't want someone who would be pointing at a schedule and ordering people around all day, I just wanted someone who was more like a friend, who could always be one step ahead of us on our wedding day to make sure everything was right. Enter Gina. From our first conversation on the phone, I was sold. Gina is warm, sweet, organized, prepared, and willing to fill whatever role you need on your wedding day. The week before our wedding, our timeline for the day changed and Gina recommended having Meg help out as well. I hadn't met Meg before the wedding but by the end of the day, after spending hours walking around in 90 degree heat holding my flower and train between pictures, I felt like Meg and I were best friends. I will forever be grateful to both Gina and Meg. They are the reason my husband and I, and my entire family, were able to truly relax enjoy the entire day. They are sweet, organized, fun, professional, and by the end of the day they become family.

f for my dad and I. To quote my dad, "Gina was the best money we spent out of this entire wedding." Hire her! She is the greatest and an absolute PRO. Anything you could think of needing the day of, or not even realize to think of needing, Gina will have for you and be two (actually three or four) steps ahead! I am beyond grateful for researching and choosing to work with her as a day of coordinator!

ience around the trip-state area--one of the reasons we were drawn to Gina was that she had previously worked with both our reception venue and our slightly quirky ceremony space. From beginning to end, interactions with her were effortless. She was super responsive and was so accommodating of our schedules. Gina knew just what questions to ask as we discussed the details of our wedding day and was always willing to answer any questions I had outside of our meetings. She was indispensible during the flurry of overwhelming last minute conversation that went on the week before the wedding. On the big day, Gina always seemed to be right there when I had a question or needed a hand. She kept us on schedule, pinned on boutonnières, held up my train, had an endless supply of bobby pins for my long veil on a windy day, and somehow managed to find a corkscrew to open our kosher wine right before our ceremony. When we returned to the hotel after our ceremony and photos, Gina took us into our reception space for a peek at the set up. I loved having this private view of the ballroom and my husband and I even ran through a few steps of our first dance. Without Gina, we would have just rushed off to cocktail hour and never would have experienced this special moment. Gina also effortlessly bustled my dress, erasing another potential worry. And that was just what I noticed! Being a detailed-oriented, planning-obsessed person myself, I believed I had thought of everything, and we almost didn't hire a coordinator. But heeding the advice of brides before me, we did, and I am so grateful. No matter how well you plan, something unexpected will come up. Gina quickly eased any potentially stressful situations for us and the day was a wonderfully joyful blur. Thank you Gina!!
