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

Alegria went above and beyond for our last minute ceremony. She was extremely flexible and really cared about creating a ceremony that reflected who we are as a couple. It is a moment I will never forget and I am so happy Alegria was a part of it!

Thank you

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:

We give Gala Events and Weddings 10 STARS!
Alegria was professional, organized, timely and knowledgeable about our local area. She was there for us on every level that we needed along the way to our perfect wedding ceremony! Our concerns about how to have an intimate, family wedding during the pandemic were addressed in a compassionate and supportive way. We found our “YES” thanks to the amazing work of the Gala Events and Wedding team!!!
Thank you SO much!!!’

Wow what an amazing job Alegria and her team did. Not only did they navigate very unclear pandemic rules and mandates with grace, they also helped me feel comfortable with the unknown. I am 100% confident Alegria can manage anything thrown at her (a world wide pandemic?!? NO PROBLEM!) and still make your event dreams come true. I can’t say enough about how great of a job they did!

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.

I would highly recommend Gala events for a wedding. I don't know what we would have done without Alegria. Our wedding venue was changed 6 days before the day and Alegria made everything happens so perfectly.

Alegría fue tan divertida y entregada a su trabajo, me encantó que ella hizo la ceremonia ,ella es divertida y le pone humor a todo ,amable y llevo acabo mi ceremonia en español e inglés, ella es perfecta para llevar acabo ceremonias en el lenguaje Español , recomiendo mucho a Alegría mi esposo y yo estamos tan felices y orgullosos por su trabajo, gracias

We had the best wedding day!! Alegria and Darci were amazing! They listened to our ideas and wanted to make it the best experience possible. They listened well our wedding ceremony and photos were spectacular as a result. Highly recommended!!

To celebrate our 25 year wedding anniversary, Alegria helped us personalize a meaningful ceremony. Through thought-provoking questions, she guided us and helped us to reflect on our journey of marriage, and what we would like to recommit to. Alegria's attention to detail and thoughtfulness allowed my husband and I to be fully present with each other and our guests.
