Weddings by Gianna

THE ABSOLUTE BEST! Gianna and her team are detailed, organized, flexible, easy to work with, and produced an itinerary that had our wedding day go perfectly, even running about 20 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!!

Where do I even start with this rave review for Gianna and her team.... I had the absolute pleasure of working with Gianna for my wedding, and I can confidently say that she is a true 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!!!!

I would highly recommend Weddings by Gianna to anyone planning a wedding - our friends recommended her while planning their wedding and my husband and I are so happy they did! We planned 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!

Gianna and her team was an absolute gift for my wedding! I had hired her for the last month of my wedding, and I have no idea how I would have managed it without her! Always there 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!!

Gianna is AMAZING! Not only is she a spectacular wedding planner but a friend throughout the wedding planning process. She is easy to get ahold of, accommodating, detail oriented, 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!

Where do I begin? Gianna has a true gift. She is an incredible wedding planner and person. To name a few, Gianna is incredibly organized, kind, and detail oriented. Leading up to the 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.

It’s hard to put into words the impact Gianna and her team had on our dream wedding day. Gianna not only made sure everything ran smoothly logistically, but also checked in on us 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.

We can’t even begin to explain into words how amazing Gianna and her team are. When my husband and I began planning our wedding (April 2023) we were quickly overwhelmed by the entire 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.

Our musicians performed for a recent wedding that Gianna did. She was AMAZING to work with! Her attention to detail is impeccable! She knew what needed to be done during every step of the way. If you are a bride in need of a wedding planner you need to get Gianna! She absolutely made the day!

Weddings by Gianna deserves 5 stars and more! I hired Gianna for my first daughter's wedding in 2020 and knew I could not plan a second wedding without her assistance! She and her 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!

We couldn't imagine going through the wedding process without Gianna. From day one she was organized, proactive, and extremely personable. Gianna understood our vision and delivered 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!

I could not imagine going through the wedding planning process without Gianna. Gianna finds the perfect balance of a trustworthy friend you can confide in while always remaining a 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!

Gianna was an incredible wedding planner! She is patient, driven, and highly organized. She would answer any text or call at any time and always had a back-up plan . She is highly 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.

Gianna was hands down the best investment we made in our wedding. From day one she alleviated so much stress off our plates and ran with every direction and detail we requested. She 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%!

We loved working with Gianna. We like to think we are pretty organized ourselves, but Gianna really helped keep us on track and really helped us nail down our vendors. After a crazy 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!

Gianna and her team were absolutely fantastic in every single way! Leading up to my wedding Gianna worked closely with me, especially on the little details and timeline, to ensure 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!

Gianna was by far the best planner we have ever worked with. When we began our process with Gianna we expressed our wants and needs for our event. She exceeded our expectations in 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.

I am very disappointed by the service I received working with Gianna. I hired her as my day of coordinator to execute my vision and all the planning I had done on my own. I even created 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.

I had to reach out to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your guidance, thoughtful planning and calm manner not only supported both Zach and Juliana, but got the two of them 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!

The #1 piece of advice we received planning our wedding was to hire a wedding planner, and we are SO happy we took that advice to heart. Our initial plan was to hire Gianna for day-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 :)

Gianna is an absolute must when it comes to planning your wedding!!! Having her as our wedding planner was the best decision Rob and I made in our wedding process. Our big day ran 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.

Gianna was instrumental in our wedding planning process! Being new to Buffalo, I was worried about being able to pull off a wedding. But Gianna's strong relationships with local vendors 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!!

Gianna was an incredible help throughout our wedding planning process. Her incredible organization, style, and eye for detail were very apparent throughout our time working with her. 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!!

Deciding to hire Gianna was the absolute best decision we made for our wedding. She brought our vision to life creating the most perfect and beautiful day for us! Gianna is incredibly 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!!!

Cannot thank her enough for everything!! Gianna literally made ever step (even during a pandemic) so easy and meaningful!! Only regret is not hiring her sooner in the wedding planning process!!!

Phil and I planned our wedding in Buffalo from Denver, and Gianna and her team alleviated so much stress that I highly recommend her services as early as possible in planning, especially 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!

We couldn't have imagined a more amazing, beautiful and perfect day, and everything ran so smoothly. Gianna was so easy to work with, personable, efficient, organized and well connected 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.

Hiring Gianna to help us plan our wedding was one of the best wedding decisions we made. Gianna was an absolute pleasure to work with. Gianna got to know us as a couple and asked us 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!

Gianna was the absolute best investment that we made for our wedding day! In the weeks leading up to our wedding Gianna was in constant contact ensuring that all of the details were 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!

What can I say about Gianna that hasn't already been said?! She is THE BEST! She is so organized and very detailed oriented. Her experience allows her to catch things that might to 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!

Gianna was an excellent planner who worked with us leading up to the wedding and was able to increase her involvement to help us out when it became necessary! However, she really shined 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.

My original intent was to hire a wedding planner that would allow me to be the Mother of the Bride and, not worry about the details the day of the wedding. I can't say enough about 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!

If you're looking for a wedding planner, stop now and book Gianna if she has your date available. Gianna has the organized, supportive, big sister vibe that you want in a wedding 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!

All the stars in the sky are not enough for Gianna. She is so detail oriented, professional and just overall, gets it. We hired Gianna as a day of coordinator, but before our wedding we met with her and spoke with her many many times. She knew every detail, had the best vendor recommendations, asked us great questions and had incredible patience in the planning process. Gianna made an extra effort to review all of our design details and timeline information before the big day - we had several meetings leading up to finalize the day of plans. She created an agenda for us with minute by minute detail to share with our other vendors and wedding party. Every single vendor we worked with complimented Gianna on her work. The day of our wedding called for on and off rain. We got married at an outdoor farm. Gianna quickly shifted gears (multiple times) to switch back between our rain plan and our shine plan. We honestly had the best day and were not stressed, because Gianna and her team were there. We had a ton of decor items and really appreciate how Gianna went above and beyond to make it all exactly how we dreamed!

Gianna and her team were absolutely incredible! WAYYYYYYY above and beyond expectations. I felt so stress free the day of the wedding, and it really made the day feel so much more magical knowing I didn’t have to worry about anything! My number 1 piece of advice to any newly engaged brides, HIRE THE DAY OF COORDINATOR! You will not regret it, and you will not regret choosing Weddings by Gianna! She is the absolute BEST!

Gianna is simply the best! We could not of done it without her. Having to change our entire wedding to an outside venue 3 months prior to the date was stressful but with Gianna’s help our day was perfect beyond our wildest dreams! No detail was too big or too small and not a single thing was overlooked. She provided me with the best recommendations for vendors. She even reached out to ones I was interested in and assisted me in booking them. She kept in contact with all of our vendors, communicating with them and providing updates so my husband and I did not have to. The day of the wedding she put together a itinerary for the entire day to make sure everything ran on time which played a HUGE roll in us being able to fully enjoy the day. She checked with me and my husband throughout the day/night to ask if we needed anything. She even made sure we always had our favorite cocktail in hand. I cannot say enough about how responsive to EVERY phone call, text message and email she was. Gianna is kind, extremely knowledgeable in the wedding industry and just a genuine person. I was able enjoy the planning process and the wedding day itself with the confidence knowing that Gianna had everything under control. I would highly recommend Gianna to anyone planning their special day. YOU WILL NOT BE SORRY! Thank you Gianna!

Gianna was absolutely amazing! She helped my husband and I navigate the craziness of planning (and replanning) our wedding in the midst of the Covid-19 chaos. She was with us every step of the way and updated us constantly about the ever changing guidelines. She was incredibly reliable and a wealth of information. I truly don't know what we would have done without her! On the day of our wedding, she stepped in to make sure that every detail was handled. There was an accident on the highway and she called our vendors to make sure that they took another route so they wouldn't be late to the venue! She truly went above and beyond in every aspect. You will LOVE having Gianna as your wedding planner!

Words cannot express enough how amazing Gianna is! She hands down guided me through the craziness of wedding planning during COVID, connected me with amazing vendors, and helped create my dream flower/candle covered wedding at the Admiral Room. She is so wonderful to work with - organized, quick to respond, on top of all the details, and really looks out for the bride and ensures they have the best day. Thank you Gianna for everything!

We worked Gianna for our recent wedding, and she was simply the best. We decided we wanted to get married this year which came with its fair share of challenges due to COVID. I tell everyone that without Gianna, there is no way we would have been able to have our wedding this year. Once we realized we had to scrap our 300 person wedding for a more intimate ceremony, Gianna helped us get creative and we replanned the whole day from start to finish. She helped to build a new vision for the day, ensured we met all state guidelines, rebooked vendors and altered reservations, and even helped us fill candle holders, pack gift bags, and more. Everyone says that on your wedding day, you will encounter hiccups and a few small issues. On our wedding day, everything went off flawlessly. I attribute this to Gianna’s excellent planning and preparedness. Gianna is professional, calm under pressure, understanding, organized, and kind. She does amazing work, and we highly recommend her for any wedding or event!

I'll start this by saying that if you take anything from this review, its that Gianna was UNBELIEVABLE throughout our entire wedding planning process! My wife and I decided to get married during a pandemic (Crazy, I know). Like most wedding planning, it would've been chaotic, it would've been stressful, it would've been a mess....if it weren't for Gianna! It was not any of those things. For every hurdle that was thrown our way, Gianna had an answer and a plan! It took so much weight off of our shoulders. She is so, so creative and her connections in the industry gave us an upper hand at every corner. Ultimately, we had to slash our guestlist to 50 and move the reception to my family's backyard. Let me tell you, it did not look or feel like a backyard wedding. The flowers, the DJ, the food, the tent.... everything was breathtaking! People literally saw our pictures and asked what venue we got married at?! She turned our wedding day into a FAIRYTALE wedding --- all during a global pandemic. Although you should only need a wedding planner ONCE in your life, I guarantee you that the best choice you can make for your wedding planner -- or any event really.... is Weddings by Gianna!

We hired Gianna to help us make our dream wedding come to life. Gianna is professional & prompt in all communication. She was always available when I needed her. She will go above and beyond for you like vendor recommendations to the day of schedule. I was so relaxed on my wedding day and I was able to enjoy the day because of Giannas help. Thanks to Gianna everything was perfect!

Gianna was instrumental in helping us coordinate our wedding. She worked with us every step of the way by calling vendors and speaking with us weekly for months leading up to our wedding. She went above and beyond to help us coordinate our wedding during COVID. She was so helpful and organized on the day of the wedding and such a calming presence. I can't say enough great things! I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone getting married!! Thanks Gianna!

Our magical wedding day happened on Saturday, August 8th 2020, and I am forever grateful for Gianna being there with us from the very start of planning (2019) to finish. From planning one wedding to another and yet so many changes rolling out until the day of. We are especially thankful for all of the suggestions and solutions she brought to the table when there was so much uncertainty due to Covid. Super-human is an understatement to describe Gianna! She is VERY well-versed in the wedding industry, she heard our vision and kept us in-line with every step of planning. She came with solutions for the unthinkable. She was my therapist, my person to bounce ideas off (before driving my now husband nuts). Our wedding brought a lot of curve balls but NOT ONE issue phased Gianna! She forever has my trust and I am so thrilled to recommend her to any bride. She's seen it all I imagine and as a bride doing this my first time, I was happy I had her there. You need yourself a Gianna- a caring, genuine, good-hearted person on the biggest day of your life that you CAN trust. My now husband went through a lot together and she can share that experience but for the purpose of this review, she was a god-sent to us! We are so fond of her and will continue to rave about her for making our wedding dreams come true!

Gianna was amazing to work with, especially while navigating wedding planning and re-planning due to COVID. She is extremely thoughtful, organized and proactive. Gianna went above and beyond to make our day special and I would highly recommend her to any bride.

Gianna has been nothing but simply amazing during these times! She makes everything so easy and stress free.

Gianna made planning a wedding more pleasurable. Essentially we had six weeks to plan our wedding based on our circumstances. Our guests complimented us on how well-planned and how well-thought out are wedding truly was. Most people have a year to plan a wedding, but ours was so organized and rich thanks to Gianna. Gianna is super organized, super helpful, and overall an amazing person. I would have not used anyone else if I had to do it all over again. She made our day special and remarkable. Many thanks and good luck to others looking for an amazing wedding planner! I truly felt as a guest at my own wedding!

Gianna was incredible. She saw through every single detail of our special day, and made it absolute perfection. She and her assistant worked with us on every single detail, and were beyond helpful. Without them, our wedding day would not have been what it was. I am so grateful for their assistance, and would recommend Gianna and her team above all others.

Gianna was a wonderful and necessary part in the finalizing of plans of my daughters Wedding. By the time we came to her my daughter and her fiancé needed help bringing it all together so that the Rehearsal and Wedding Day would be as magical and flawless as she envisioned. Gianna’s attention to detail helped us to finalize timelines, confirm vendors, organize the Church Rehearsal and of course bring it all together for the Wedding day. We could not be more pleased with the job she did in helping us create a timeline that we felt good about, and she turned the vision into a reality to make our rehearsal, ceremony and reception pure perfection! Gianna is friendly, professional, always accessible and easy to work with. She listened to what my daughter was envisioning and really made sure that her wedding day was as beautiful and perfect as the picture my daughter had created! She guided us, redirected us and assisted us with the many decisions that needed to be made with such enthusiasm and patience. She made sure that anything we could have needed was taken care of before we even realized we needed something. She was well organized and I was not worried about a single thing the whole day & night. I highly recommend her!

Gianna was wonderful! We hired Gianna to handle “day-of coordination.” My husband and I found and booked our vendors ourselves but we wanted someone to take the lead on the big day so that no one would bother us with questions or issues. Gianna started working on our wedding about 2 months prior. She obtained our vendor information from us then reached out to the vendors to initiate contact. As we got closer to the big day, Gianna and I communicated more often. She was always very accessible and quick to respond which made things easy on us. I looped her in to my communications with other vendors so that we were all on the same page, and Gianna took notes. By the time we met Gianna at our wedding walk through the day before the wedding, it was clear that Gianna understood our vision and was prepared to handle everything! She paid close attention to details. On the wedding day, Gianna worked with her coordinator Lindsey who was also great! They were both so personable with our wedding party as well as guests. The day went so smoothly and my husband and I were very relieved to not have to deal with any coordination or questions! Overall we really enjoyed working with Gianna and would highly recommend her as well as her coordinator Lindsey!

I cannot say enough positives words about Gianna. My husband and I hired her as our day of coordinator for our wedding, she went above and beyond!! She ensured everything ran smoothly and on time! She took care of our shuttle services, she gave us a ton of recommendations for different vendors, and was willing and able to attend all of our meetings with our venue and other vendors. If you think you have everything covered for your wedding, think again and hire Gianna. She will take on all the stress day of your wedding. I will miss having her in my life, she such a kind hearted sweet person. Highly recommend Gianna and her coordinator!

I hired Gianna as my day-of coordinator and it was the single best decision I made while planning this wedding! She was very professional, knowledgeable, organized, and thorough. Her communication was excellent with myself as well as all of my vendors and it just made our whole wedding day seamless and worry-free. Gianna was a dream to work with and I can’t recommend her services enough!!

I’d highly recommend weddings by Gianna. She jumped right in when a young bride was overwhelmed. It was just a few weeks before her wedding and she touched base with all the vendors and our venue. Gianna is very organized and knowledgeable.

Honestly, I have no clue what me and my husband would have done without Gianna! As a younger couple having a nearly 300 person wedding, we thought we had everything planned out, BUT what we didn't realize is that we desperately needed someone to tie up all our loose ends and act as a coordinator that day. We found Gianna online kind of last minute and the minute after our introductory phone call she hit the ground running. Gianna was professional, organized, detail-oriented, and so accommodating to all mine and my husband's requests. She worked with us to plan our wedding and make it the fairytale dream we always wanted. The day of she handled all the coordination with our multiple vendors, set up the room, happily catered to mine and my husbands every little request, and stayed late to collect everything we had left behind. I have no clue how we would have gotten through the day without her. If you may be considering hiring a planner or a day-of coordinator, my biggest piece of advice is to do it!! Both myself and my husband truly believe that this was the best thing we did for our wedding day. It allowed us to relax and enjoy our day without worrying about a single thing, Gianna had everything covered. So for anyone planning a wedding you may not know it yet but trust me, YOU NEED GIANNA!

Gianna is AMAZING!! I cannot write enough positive reviews! We could not have imagined planning, preparing, and hosting our wedding day without her! She is extremely organized, thoughtful, has incredible attention to detail, and she thinks of everything you may not to ensure your day is perfect! From the start, she makes you feel so comfortable and is ready to tackle any items you need! She is willing to go above and beyond for you to ensure you feel happy and confident throughout the process, and that your dream wedding will happen. Our day ran so smoothly thanks to her help and insight! Most importantly, she listens to what you want, and tailors every detail to your particular day, plus she is SO much fun to work with!!! Your day will be perfect with Gianna's help! Thank you to the most amazing wedding planner in Buffalo!! :)

Gianna is very professional and thinks of every detail. Her knowledge and advice on every level makes the planning smooth & without stress. She has recommendations on which vendors to enhance your big day and what you can expect from the venue along with the simplest decisions on how much to tip! The timeline which is critical on your wedding day will be discussed in detail and shared with your venue as well as the DJ/band for the evening. The summary reporting from Gianna gives your event a clear shape. Gianna has a wonderful disposition and is a real pleasure. You will be happy and relaxed when you work with her!!

Can't speak highly enough about Gianna. We were originally not going to hire a planner but it all got too much for us to handle alone, so she stepped in a helped coordinate everything, even things we didn't know that needed coordinating. On the day Gianna and her assistant were extremely attentive, to the point where as I took off my vest, her assistant was there to take it from me before I could even set it down. We also had some issues with our transportation company that she was able to deal with without alerting my wife to anything, saving the day for her. We can't recommend her enough!

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND GIANNA!! Working with her made things so easy and in any stressful situation, she offered a new option or approach that still was within my vision. I truly believe her goal is to keep everyone stress free and to do everything she can to have a seamless event. She was always very professional with everyone we met with and followed up on my behalf (a lot). We spoke pretty much daily whether a quick meeting, phone call, text or email and she never seemed bothered no matter how erratic I felt I was being! Gianna would help in any way necessary- picking up flowers, dropping off vases- she even asked if I had any last minute errands if I needed her to grab anything for me. From beginning til end she stood strong and it really helped us so much! We couldn't have done it without her! Thank you so much again and it truly was so fun to work with you!

I originally was not going to hire a wedding planner, I am organized and thought I could handle planning everything. I later decided that it would be best if I had help on the day of wedding to make sure everything went as planned. After meeting Gianna, I was so impressed with her attention to detail and professional yet cheerful demeanor that we hired her immediately. She was instrumental in finding the right vendors for us and handled every aspect of the wedding with our vision in mind. Whenever we needed something or had a question she responded quickly . Gianna did an amazing job - our wedding was stress free and we could not have imagined a more perfect day! We highly recommend Gianna

We counted on Gianna to plan our wedding from the moment we got engaged! Gianna took care of everything- from engagement photos, to our wedding guest list, to booking our venue, photographer and helping to create and send our invitations. Every detail was personalized and Gianna made us feel like we were her number one priority. Gianna made herself consistently available and was extremely reliable when we needed her. We couldn't have made it through such an incredible day without her and are so appreciative of her time and talent! She's truly incredible and helped to make our wedding day unforgettable!

Gianna was simply amazing in assisting with planning our wedding. She is organized, punctual, and fun to work with. I live out of town, so Gianna went to many meetings with vendors for me, and we FaceTimed during them! She took care of all the logistical details I never would have thought of and organized a minute-to-minute timeline with the vendors, so I didn’t have to worry about a thing on the day of. Everything ran perfectly smoothly. Gianna helped make our dream wedding come true… We never could have done it without her!
