Geraldine is one of the most talented, organized, and dedicated individuals I have ever met. There are not enough words to explain how amazing Geraldine and her team are, but all I...
can truly say is that as the bride, I was not anticipating being so relaxed on my wedding day. Geraldine and her team took care of everything and ensured that the event not only looked the way we wanted it to but also ran the way we discussed. Multiple guests expressed how impressed they were with her work ethic and ability to stay on top of all the things, but especially the smallest details. If you are looking for a wedding coordinator and have doubts...look no further. Geraldine will not let you down!

Geraldine, where do we even begin?! If you’re not choosing her as your wedding coordinator, you’re simply wrong! From the past year of planning all the way through our wedding day,...
Geraldine was beyond helpful. Once it was all over, I even asked my husband, “Can you imagine what this day would have been like without Geraldine?” and honestly, we can’t.
Geraldine and her team pulled off the most beautiful, organized, and truly perfected wedding. She matched my vision to a T and brought it to life FLAWLESSLY. Not only is she incredibly organized and efficient, but she is also FUN, sweet, and just an all-around amazing human! Anytime we needed her, she somehow magically appeared.
She even lent me her spandex shorts to wear under my reception dress so I didn’t flash the world- talk about a true, kind, fantastic friend and coordinator! Geraldine anticipated details we NEVER would have thought of and addressed any concerns before they ever became problems. Her communication was always clear, she is unbelievably knowledgeable, and she was SO responsive throughout the entire process.
There was never a single doubt in my mind that our wedding day wouldn’t be perfect and run smoothly - and it truly did. Our wedding party and family even commented on how much they loved Geraldine and her team. Because of them, Patrick and I were able to be fully present and enjoy the best day of our lives. I felt completely supported having her by my side.
Geraldine, I didn’t just love you as our coordinator - I love you as a forever friend. You will always hold such a special place in Patrick’s and my hearts. We will forever remember our wedding as the most magical, joyful day because of you.
You are truly in the BEST hands when you choose Velada Events. You won’t just gain an incredible coordinator and team, you’ll gain a forever friend. We love you, Velada Events!

tion during both the planning process and the day-of coordination was exceptional—professional, prompt, and incredibly thorough.
Much of my wedding was DIY, and I genuinely don’t think I could have pulled it off without Geraldine’s expertise and support. She’s professional, organized, and an absolute joy to be around. If you’re considering working with her, don’t hesitate—you won’t regret it!

We truly cannot thank Geraldine, Lead Event Planner and Paula, Lead Associate at Velada Events enough for the incredible job they did in making our big day absolutely perfect! From...
the very beginning of the planning process, Geraldine was a lifesaver-giving us clear deadlines and helpful reminders that kept us organized and on track every step of the way.
Her punctuality and responsiveness were remarkable. No matter how many questions we had (and there were a lot!), she always replied quickly and thoroughly, making us feel supported and heard throughout the entire journey. Geraldine was proactive and communicative, always one step ahead and anticipating our needs before we even realized them.
We especially appreciated Geraldine’s flexibility and open-mindedness in working with our non-traditional wedding concept. With three different venues-a church, a restaurant, and a rooftop bar-not to mention the hotel where we got ready and the location for our pre-wedding photos, our vision was anything but simple. Geraldine accepted the challenge wholeheartedly and helped us execute our vision beautifully, ensuring that every transition was seamless and every detail was perfectly coordinated.
She also handled every detail with such care, especially when it came to creating rain plans and coordinating with our other vendors. She was considerate of everyone’s timelines, ensuring that everything and everyone was where they needed to be.
On the wedding day itself, Geraldine ensured everything ran seamlessly, coordinating with such grace and professionalism that the entire celebration felt effortless and perfectly executed.
We truly cannot imagine our wedding being as smooth, stress-free, and fun without her! Geraldine is an absolute gem, and we feel so lucky to have had her by our side. If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond to make your day special, look no further than Geraldine at Velada Events!

Working with Velada Events was truly one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning journey. From the very first hourly brainstorming session, Geraldine made us feel...
heard, understood, and completely supported. Each meeting was not only productive, but also inspiring — they helped us bring our ideas to life while offering thoughtful suggestions we never would have considered on our own. We left every call feeling more confident, more organized, and even more excited for our big day.
Our wedding on February 21, 2025 was everything we dreamed of and more, and we truly believe the care and attention given to us during those hourly sessions played a huge role in that. Thank you Velada Events for helping us plan a celebration that felt perfectly us.
