My partner and I are SO HAPPY that we decided to hire Gala Events for our day of coordination. Alegria was such a blessing in our experience. I am getting teary even as I write this, thinking of her support. We are a queer couple who's wedding was postponed 2 years in a row due to the pandemic and a medical emergency in the family. We also had to change venues and cater during all of the challenges. The path to our wedding day was not simple or easy, but Alegria's support and expertise made it all manageable. She was immediately responsive and loving about our concerns related to potential homophobia we might experience through our process. We never once felt othered or treated differently as a queer couple, something we are sensitive to. My spouse is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, and Alegria was immediately honoring and respectful. All of this makes a big difference when you've experienced prior homophobia in the place where you grew up. And when medical emergencies and the pandemic kept throwing up big barriers, Alegria was the calm in the storm. She joined us in grounded decision making, was thoughtful and informed, and really demonstrated so much care during the hard parts. When we had challenges with our past vendors that we ended up not working with, she had such helpful advice. And on our actual wedding day, which was so beautiful and perfect, Alegria joined us in our vision of a big community celebration. She and her staff were so so kind and thoughtful, so supportive. They made us feel special while reducing decision fatigue and stress. She worked with our vendors beautifully, and the day of we were able to truly relax and be present. We could not have asked for better. Thank you, Gala Events!! xo Erin + Ames

We had a lovely day exploring the many options offered in Humboldt County for a wedding venue. Alegria was both professional and thoughtful with her suggestions as well as with the delightful finishing touches at a few of the locations. We dined on a charcuterie board accompanied by champagne for lunch and walked away with a couple of bottles of estate-grown wine and home-brewed cider.

Alegera is Amazing!!!! She had so many wonderful ideas and honestly was a breath of fresh air. She was very responsive and professional. She could understand my vision and help us achieve a ceremony that will be forever remembered:
