When I am not pursuing my dream, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, our cats Pinot & Sushi and my wife! I love to travel and find solace in whipping up new recipes in the kitchen. Inquisitive by nature, I am always looking to expand my knowledge base and bring fresh ideas to my clients to better plan their events.
I have been in the wedding industry for 11 years and a Certified Wedding Planner through the Bridal Society.
GINA MARIE WEDDINGS & EVENTS IS A PROUDLY QUEER WOMAN-OWNED AND OPERATED COMPANY
Well, hey there!
"Where do I even begin?? To put it very simply, choosing Gina Marie Events for full-service planning was hands down the BEST decision I made for our wedding (besides my husband, of course). Gina has just the right talent, experience, organization, and creative vision and I knew she was a perfect match from our very first call. I had a pretty specific picture of what I wanted for our wedding, but needed help bringing it to life and balancing it on top of a full-time job all the way from NYC. Gina went above and beyond to make sure every detail was exactly as we wanted, (each of her vendor recommendations beyond exceeded my expectations) but she wasn't also afraid to be honest and open about what was feasible (especially when it came to budget) and came up with creative solutions when my initial idea was (in hindsight) completely bonkers. Just when I thought Gina couldn't get any more amazing, then our actual wedding day came. I had been pretty hands on throughout the planning process, but the main reason I made the decision to invest in a wedding planner was so that we (including our wedding guests) could enjoy the day. I was SO calm on our wedding day (too calm if you ask my closest friends and family lol because they know my neurotic tendencies when planning a party) and honestly it was because I knew all the work we had done leading up to this day had prepared us, and that I 100000% trusted Gina to execute the plan plus make any on-the-spot decisions. My husband and I still talk about how PERFECT this day went and we couldn't have done it without Gina & her team. I miss our monthly calls and checklists, Gina let's do it again!!!"
"Gina and her team are exceptional and passionate at what they do. We spent over a year planning our wedding and Gina always elevated the experience and details. She was supportive of our creativity and made all of our unique nuances part of the overall wedding. She brings together her understanding of us as a couple, our ideas, her expertise and creates a vision that is absolutely beyond your wildest dreams. Gina worked with every one of our vendors to ensure that our wedding was beautiful and we got everything we wanted. She also provided exceptional guidance on the venue and what we would need to make our special day enjoyable for ourselves and our guests. Overall, the team was incredibly organized and had everything they could possibly have needed the day of the ceremony. When looking for a planner, we wanted someone who was direct, professional, and experienced. Gina and the team went above and beyond expectations. They allowed us to enjoy the special moments such as the tasting, wedding, and breakdown as they took care of remembering every decision that needed to be made along the way. We wouldn't have been able to do it without Gina!"
We cannot begin to thank Gina and her team enough for their flawless execution of our dream wedding weekend. With over 400 guests for a traditional Hindu ceremony, this was no small feat and GME exceeded all expectations. Gina is so kind, incredibly patient, and maintains the perfect balance between fun and serious in order to get things done. We have a large and involved family with a lot of different opinions, but Gina was able to navigate us all gracefully and ensure everyone remained happy. She brought my vision to life better than I saw it in my own mind and our guests were in awe of both events. We are forever grateful for Gina Marie Events and would recommend them without reservation to anyone looking for the perfect planning team!
I cannot recommend Gina enough. She is the secret weapon to navigating an otherwise stressful process, and she makes it all feel manageable. Before Gina, we felt extremely overwhelmed and in way over our heads. As soon as we met Gina, she was a breath of fresh air and we immediately felt reassured. She emphasized that this time was about us, and made sure it felt that way. She also made sure we were able to stay true to who we are as a couple while ensuring we had the wedding of our dreams. Gina is experienced and extremely organized, and it very much shows. She makes you feel like you’re the only clients she has because she is just THAT responsive and on top of everything (my wife had to ask her several times how she has other clients with the level of attention Gina gave us). We never had to worry about details because Gina had already thought of everything and had a plan (and a contingency plan) for every scenario. Gina truly listens and has a genuine interest in accommodating both your needs and your wants. If you have an idea, Gina will find a way to make it happen. No idea is too small or too "out there." Most of all, Gina is that calm presence that you absolutely need on your big day. There is no better feeling than knowing there is nothing to worry about, and that Gina has taken care of everything. If there were any fires actively being extinguished, we would have had no idea because the entire day went so smoothly. Gina is a rock, a friend, and the most valuable asset you can have on your wedding day. If we could clone Gina and give her to every couple, we absolutely would!
