Weddings by Gianna

a master class in how to actually ENJOY the process over the year plus we worked together and not just be rushing to get to the day itself. Her team was there every step of the way, every question was answered effectively, and truly owe her 1000 thank you's for everything she did for us. Use her. No other words needed.

free and so much fun. Our Buffalo wedding was a destination wedding for us and many of our guests, and Gianna helped us find incredible local vendors and bring our vision to life. She is responsive, kind, organized, generous with her time and so much fun to work with. Highly, highly recommend hiring Gianna!

wedding, the day of the wedding, and after! She helped create and execute our vision. Everything looked so beautiful! She is amazing for suggestions& helping make sure you have great vendors. She also helped make sure the entire wedding process went so smoothly for us! From communicating with us & our other vendors, to helping us to not feel stressed about anything through this journey. She was truly amazing and I absolutely would recommend her 10000 times for anyone!!!

y about a thing the day of because I knew her and her team would flawless execute! I am so thankful that I got the chance to work with interning my big day!!

nna was organized, professional, open to feedback, communicative, and patient. She helped bring our wedding vision to life by connecting us with the perfect vendors, fostering amazing relationships, and staying one step ahead. I cannot imagine going through this process and actually enjoying it, laughing, and having fun without Gianna leading the way. You would be lucky to have her on your team!

y wedding went so smoothly sometimes I thought it was fake. From the beginning of the process to the day of, Gianna was on top of it- which is exactly what you want in a wedding planner. She was able to answer all questions and give recommendations whenever something popped into my brain. I truly cannot recommend her enough.

it was clear that she understood my vision and she was committed to bringing it to life in the most beautiful way possible. Her extensive experience in the industry shone through every step of the planning process. She offered invaluable insights and suggestions which truly enhanced our overall vision. She knew what I wanted, and spoke up and made sure my dream was clear at vendor appointments. What impressed me most was the ability to foresee potential challenges and address them before they became issues—a true testament to their professionalism and foresight. Gianna already had a relationship with all of our vendors and my venue. This made our planning process even more smooth. On the big day, the timeline was executed flawlessly. (So many guests complimented us on this!!) Everything went off without a hitch, and we were able to fully enjoy each moment. It was evident that every detail had been meticulously planned, and we could only relax and revel in the joy of our wedding, knowing that we were in such capable hands. I wholeheartedly recommend Gianna to anyone looking for a dedicated professional who can navigate the complexities of wedding planning with grace and expertise. Thanks to her hard work, our special day was nothing short of magical. We couldn't have asked for a better experience! Thank you, Gianna!!!

tarted to lose hope our florist recommended Gianna. We are so thankful for that recommendation because Gianna understood the intricate family dynamics and was extremely accommodating to my insane schedule in healthcare. That alone should be commended because my life over the past two years has made scheduling advance meetings nearly impossible. She handled everything at play in our unique wedding plans with solution oriented ease. Tent weddings are an intense and huge undertaking, but Gianna was our fearless guide navigating every obstacle, detail, and back up plan. We were fortunate enough to have the most gorgeous day to celebrate our wedding, but her and her team were prepared if that was not going to be the case. She was willing to give her honest and expert opinions and feedback on all our ideas and goals. Our biggest concern was stress on the big day and I’m happy to report we had a STRESS FREE DAY!!! We could not have done it without her. We have received so many compliments on every aspect of our wedding.

g was taken away. She is the kindest and sweetest and super easy to work with. She helped bring my daughter’s vision to life and it was everything my daughter wanted and more. On the wedding day, we trusted her completely and did not need to worry about anything. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a wedding planner.

made sure I was well taken care of by her colleagues and that no stone was left unturned! Her vendor recommendations were also nothing short of wonderful and helped me to create a dream team! She made our wedding day stress free as we had the utmost confidence in her ability and her team. Would absolutely recommend Gianna to anyone planning their wedding.

nd made sure we were getting tasks done when needed to. Our wedding day was so smooth and seamless and I don't think it would have been that way without all of Gianna's help! Highly, highly recommend Weddings by Gianna!

antly working towards making sure each vendor was prepared for the day! She had a very strong relationship with many vendors in the area and it is no surprise as she is a delight to work with and was incredibly responsive and followed up with each one of our needs! We would absolutely recommend Weddings by Gianna if you’re looking for the perfect day, they will make sure you Have it!

minutes ahead of schedule! I couldn't have asked for a better team to manage our wedding! They allowed me to be stress free and actually enjoy the day! I would highly recommend Weddings by Gianna to anyone!!

rue gem in the world of wedding planning. From start to finish, Gianna's dedication and passion for her craft shone through, making our special day truly extraordinary. The best part was that every time we connected with a vendor, they were elated to learn that Gianna was my planner and they would get to work with her for our wedding. Gianna is not only an exceptional professional, but she is also one of the most caring individuals I have ever met. She went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was perfect, and her genuine concern for our happiness was evident throughout the entire planning process. She paid attention to detail and I never had to tell her anything twice. Her sweet and warm personality made every interaction a joy, and she truly became an integral part of our wedding journey. Gianna was always available to answer questions, provide advice, and offer support whenever we needed it. Her efficiency and organizational skills are unmatched, and she effortlessly managed every aspect of the event. I trusted her to make all the decisions on the wedding day and as a result, I never even had an urge to check the time or wonder if we were going according to plan. It all fell together to effortlessly. I couldn't recommend her more!!!!

lanned our wedding from out of town (+ through a move and a new job) and truly don't know how we would have been able to plan our wedding without hiring Gianna. She helped keep us on track and alleviated so much stress during the planning process. Gianna very quickly understood the style we envisioned for our wedding even just through broad descriptions and photos we put together. In our first meeting she suggested a few venues for us to visit - one of which we ended up booking. She was also great at working with us as we had ideas throughout planning even when some details were still up in the air. She is super knowledgeable of the whole process and was helpful in narrowing down vendor options versus looking through very overwhelming lists of options online. While planning it can feel like there are so many decisions to make at once and she was so helpful at helping narrow our focus to the decisions that needed to be made at each planning stage. Gianna also helped keep us organized on what we needed to prioritize, our timeline, and vendor communication. She was always easy to reach by text or e-mail and had frequent call check-ins. As a plus to everything else, she is just a lovely person and easy to chat with and her presence was calm but organized on our wedding day. We were happy with the investment to have an expert to talk with during planning and be able to take our minds off the details day of. So glad we hired her and would highly recommend!

for questions and tips, coordinated with my vendors, and went over and beyond in any way that she could. If you want your rehearsal/wedding day to run seamlessly, this will be the best wedding purchase so you can enjoy the day as a bride without any worries. Even made sure my groom/groomsmen were all taken care of! Out of all the money I spent on my wedding, hiring her was one of the best things I spent it on and I would do it over again l. Thank you for everything!!

dedicated, and passionate about what she does. I couldn’t imagine planning our wedding without her advice and expertise. And especially the wedding day! She is very organized and everything went as smooth as it possibly could. I would recommend Gianna again and again!

he wedding, Gianna answered all of our questions in a timely manner, and was willing to meet with us outside of our planned meeting times in order to make sure we were feeling ready and prepared. On the day of the wedding, Gianna and her assistants guided not only my husband and I through the day, but our families too. Both of our families noticed how sweet and timely she was. Gianna would keep ALL of us in the loop and give ample time to finish up conversations with guests and such before the next part of the day/evening. She never made things feel rushed. Gianna also has amazing talents when it comes to ensuring that your vision for the day comes to life. Whether that is the feel you are trying to achieve or the aesthetic you are hoping to have. She really thinks through every single thing with you- but doesn't overwhelm you! I have personally seen Gianna work with couples, other than my husband and I, and I can honestly say she will meet each couple where they are. Do you want a lot of special details included in your day? Gianna can do it. Are you a bit simpler overall? Gianna can do it. Weddings By Gianna truly made our day better than we could have imagined. If anything went "wrong" we didn't know about it because Gianna was on it. Her reputation precedes her because all of our vendors were so excited to hear we were working with Gianna! We cannot say enough wonderful things about Gianna and are SO thankful for all of her help and support throughout the entire process.

throughout the process to see how we were doing. This genuine, personal attention made the wedding so enjoyable knowing everything was taken care of so we as a couple could remain completely present on our big day. I would recommend Weddings by Gianna a million times over. Gianna is so professional and a true expert in her field. Coordinating a 200+ plus guest wedding is no easy task, but Weddings by Gianna makes it look effortless. We will look back on our big day with such fond memories, and will always appreciate our vendors for their part in making the day a dream.

re process and realized we needed help. We went back and forth about the idea of hiring a planner and wasn’t fully set on the idea until we spoke with Gianna. Not only did she help make our day absolutely perfect and flawless by spending the year leading up to our wedding making sure every detail was covered- she spent the entire process getting to know my husband and I on a personal level. No matter what question or concern we had, Gianna was there for all of it with the perfect answer and solution. While the planning process is stressful and difficult, Gianna made sure that we’d be able to enjoy parts of it as well. Not once did we ever have a single concern or worry thanks to how attentive Gianna was. She attended all our vendor meetings and helped us communicate all our visions and ideas to all our vendors to make the most beautiful dream come to life.

of the way. If you are a bride in need of a wedding planner you need to get Gianna! She absolutely made the day!

assistant Lindsey went above and beyond for my daughter's wedding. With their help, both myself and the mother of the groom, were able to enjoy EVERY aspect of the day! They provided anything and everything we needed. Gianna has a calm, and pleasant demeanor. She is kind, very professional, organized, and pays attention to detail. She was very patient with all our questions during the planning process. She was on point answering all our emails. Gianna's preparation for my daughter's wedding provided not only the perfect day, but also provided me the gift of reduced stress. I highly recommend Weddings by Gianna! I will be hiring her again for my last daughter's wedding!

d the most beautiful vision board. She truly brought our dreams to life and exceeded all expectations. On our wedding day, Gianna thought of every detail and anticipated our needs and family/guests' needs. We were blown away by her and the day couldn't have gone smoother. If you're looking for the best of the best, Weddings by Gianna is it. Thank you for everything, Gianna!

consummate professional. Gianna is extremely well connected in the local wedding planning community. Whether it was finding a florist or DJ or anything in between, Gianna always presented us with a well-vetted list of candidates and worked with us to determine the best fit. After settling on a vendor, Gianna worked tirelessly to make sure that our needs were met and communicated. Sometimes it felt like Gianna could describe our wedding vision better than we could! If you are planning a wedding in the Buffalo area, we highly recommend you consider Gianna!

educated on all of her vendors, venues, and all logistics when it comes to wedding planning. She is also very supportive and creative when it comes to any idea. Not to mention she has a great sense of humor and an awesome sense of style! Our wedding would not have been the same without her.

e took my Pinterest visions and brought them to life with my vendors. For 14 months we stayed in contact monthly, with more frequent touch points as the wedding came closer. She came to all my vendor visits with me and was on all my detailed calls with vendors. I had a 350 attendee wedding with many events throughout the day. The flow of the day was flawless and on time till the end. Not only did Gianna cater to me and my husband at the wedding, but she also was asking our parents if they needed anything, which they really appreciated. Gianna coordinated all of the vendor drop off and pick ups so that I truly did not have to think about anything. I literally just had to show up. Our whole family commented on how Gianna was there the entire day and was the last person to leave the reception after 1am. Not only was Gianna wonderful but all of her assistants were fantastic! Emma stayed with me (the bride) the entire wedding day and helped me with anything I needed. Lindsay was at the grooms house and helped the boys get ready and even helped cut sandwiches and serve lunch to guests. Their help was invaluable. My husband agrees we would book Gianna ten times over again and encourages all of his friends who get engaged to hire a wedding planner. I cannot thank Gianna enough for everything she did for my wedding day. I absolutely recommended 1000%!

y pandemic shut down, vendors were all over the place on scheduling and unsure what services they were going to provide, but Gianna helped us secure what we desired and kept on top of all the vendors that we needed some extra help with. She would go over the little details and help make final decisions after being unsure for awhile, she was very patient with us when we would go back and forth on some items. The day of, everything went so smoothly and we were blown away by how Gianna and her team treated us like royalty pretty much. Made sure we had everything we needed, it was like they could read our minds and popped up seeing if everything was okay or if they could get us something. We cannot recommend Gianna enough!

everything went according to my vision. Her coordinator, Lindsey, was also amazing and flawlessly executed my wedding the day of. I couldn't have put my trust in better hands. I highly recommend Weddings by Gianna. It'll be the best investment you make for your wedding!

both. Gianna was on top of contacting all of our vendors and keeping us in the loop regarding everything that was going on. The day of was ran so incredibly perfect and smooth. We truly were able to enjoy every minute of our day and we couldn’t thank Gianna more for that. Best in the business.

eated a timeline for her. The day of she dropped the ball tremendously. She did not coordinate the ceremony or manage the flow of the evening and unfortunately many things went wrong. This was very upsetting to me since I needed someone for one day to worry about these details so I didn’t have to. Luckily my wedding was still beautiful but hiring Gianna was a mistake and a lot of wasted money.

to the finish line, their wedding day. :) The wedding day was such an amazing event. From the hair, make up, shuttles, photographer, florist, church, and reception, things were planned and executed with precision. Everything ran so smoothly and The Admiral Room looked spectacular! What a special weekend for the our two families, as our son and daughter in law are now husband and wife. Woohoo! We can’t thank you enough for everything you did to make this day, a day to remember forever!

-of coordination, but as my husband and I lived in Boston (wedding was in Buffalo), we decided to hire Gianna for partial planning. It was hands down, the best decision we made. Even though I had the exact vision of what I wanted the wedding to look like, Gianna was instrumental in identifying the right vendors in Buffalo to execute on the vision. Throughout the planning process, she took the time to listen to us and what we wanted out of our day, and seamlessly coordinated all of our vendor initial proposal calls and (later on) the final run-through calls a month before the wedding. During each monthly check-in meetings, Gianna was attentive and focused. We were entirely grateful for Gianna throughout the planning process, and then it was the wedding day when Gianna was worth her weight in gold. Our wedding day was seamless, and my husband and I had an amazing time. If there was anything wrong, I did not hear about it until after the wedding. It truly amazes me how plugged in Gianna and her assistant Alexa was on the wedding day, and how much got handled without me lifting a finger, noticing it, and most importantly, without my husband and I worrying about it or having to deal with it ourselves. There was a last minute wedding day discovery that our fireworks vendor included sparklers for us. Gianna and Alexa ran out to get lighters and also worked with our photographers to plan a sparkler exit. There was a medical emergency with one of our guests. Gianna and Alexa called an ambulance and identified a doctor among our guests to help. I had specific ideas of how I wanted our favors to be laid out, Gianna and Alexa made sure that was laid out accordingly. I wanted a little taco/margarita shot appetizer at the reception, Gianna stalked a waiter to bring one over to me to make sure I got one. These were all the things I either heard about or remember from the wedding day, forget the things I still don't know about! One of my guests commented that although dinner was set out for Gianna and Alexa at the guest table, they were hardly seen sitting down as they were putting out fires left and right. If you are having a wedding in Buffalo, NY, Gianna is the best decision you can make to ensure your wedding goes smoothly and you & your partner can enjoy every minute of a special day that passes by all too quickly :)

n so smoothy thanks to her preparedness and insight. She is the kindness, sweetest, and most caring person who strives to make your big day extra special and perfect. She also helps tailor your day to what you want. She has a plan for everything. Even down to the smallest details such as having double sided tape on the wedding day to tape down your wedding dress straps if they are giving you brush burn. She is the kind of person you want by your side on your wedding day. There was very little stress thanks to her help throughout the entire planning process. We 150% recommend her as your wedding planner! Our wedding day wouldn't have been possible or as incredible without her. We wish we could relive the day.

endors and experience helped bring our vision come to life. She was organized, professional, detail-oriented, and very communicative. On the wedding day, Gianna and her team coordinated the whole day minute-to-minute and were ready to step in every time my dress became unbustled, and during a very dramatic red wine incident! She made sure our wedding was stress-free so we could truly enjoy the day. I would work with Gianna again in a heartbeat! I can't thank her enough for creating the most memorable, beautiful day!!

r. She gave us the gift of being able to enjoy both our wedding planning process and our wedding day without needing to worry about any details. The entire day was an incredible dream come true. Hire Gianna!!

bly sweet, easy to communicate with, efficient, and extremely organized. She was already very familiar with many of our other wedding vendors and additionally referred us other vendors through her experience. The day of the wedding ran so smoothly, on-time, and was incredibly stress-free thanks to Gianna and her Assistants. I could not recommend Gianna enough if you are planning a wedding!!!

ing process!!!

cially if you’re out of town! I say “as early as possible,” after having an amazing wedding, but there were things I could think of that Gianna would have helped us a lot with had we hired her even earlier. She and her team really look out for your wants and needs, and they go above and beyond what might be considered the typical duties of a wedding planner. For example, we had a couple of family members at the wedding in need of mobility assistance, and Gianna helped us get that assistance lined up before the big day. This is just one example of many of our non-standard “asks.” It’s a given Gianna will get you to having a beautiful day, (working with vendors and making the room beautiful seemed to be the easy stuff for her). You could hire Gianna for that for sure, but I would say it is her team’s reliability, professionalism and willingness to help with the odd things that come up for the couple that really made us thankful we had her help. Basically, she’s a wedding ninja you want on your side. In fact, we’re wondering if she plans other events besides weddings!

nected in the industry. Even the venders seemed to breath a sign of relief when we gave them her name. We could never have pulled this day off without her. She made the whole experience fun and stress free. It was a pleasure getting to know her and I definitely plan on using her again.

s about our goals and vision for our wedding. Then she got right to work helping us make all planning decisions happen in a way we could have never done without her help, expertise, and clear desire to make our day a success. During the planning process she kept all details and vendors organized and on task, watched out for blind spots and managed to keep us and our families sane. Once we arrived at the wedding weekend, her and her assistant made sure everything was taken care of, allowing us to breathe and enjoy the day. Having Gianna on our wedding team made the planning process so much easier and helped make our wedding day spectacular. We highly recommend Gianna to any couple looking to have an incredible wedding experience!

e finalized, meaning that we didn't have to worry about it! Anytime I called or emailed Gianna was immediately responding, even when it was after work hours. We had a small crisis when one of our vendors had an emergency and wasn't able to deliver and set-up our dessert table. Gianna took it upon herself to not only pickup all of the items we needed from several bakeries but also beautifully set up all of the desserts. She did this on top of helping the girls get ready, making sure the rest of the reception was setup, coordinating with our other vendors, transporting flowers between the church and reception, bustling my dress, and keeping the timeline flowing. At the end of the night everything was cleaned up with our personal keepsakes boxed up and waiting for us. Gianna truly made our wedding such a special and stress free experience, I cannot recommend her services enough!

unnoticed and suggest things that you may not think of. Beyond all that, she is a wonderful person. Down to earth, patient, professional and always super positive. We had many bumps in the road leading up to our big day - with the ever changing rules, regulations, etc with Covid - but Gianna was there every step of the way, very knowledgable of the changing rules while still being encouraging and positive! If you need someone to help you with day of coordination or full on wedding planning Gianna is your girl!

hined on the day of the wedding with how much she was constantly taking care of and keeping everything running. It really did make it seem like there were no problems at all, even if there were! I would recommend her services to anyone else here looking for a good personal connection and an efficient planner.

ut Gianna! She is personable, kind and VERY attentive. We planned my daughter's wedding during COVID, which constantly required changes due to NYS regulations. From our first contact with Gianna, she was prompt in responding to every email and, answering any questions we had. We also had several phone conversations during the planning process -where she offered suggestions and/or solutions to various situations that came up. Her patience was extraordinary! She handled all the wedding/reception details and, coordinated efforts with the other vendors! Her presence at my daughter's wedding was a Blessing for me! She allowed me to be the Mother of the Bride and, truly enjoy my daughter's wedding day. I highly recommend Gianna . I plan to use her again for my other daughter's weddings!

planner. After our wedding was twice affected by the pandemic, I had lost all motivation and realized we needed help. We adjusted our budget to prioritize this and it was SO worth it. Gianna kept us on track, supported all the wild ideas we had and helped make the day run smoothly. Cannot recommend her enough!
