About this vendor

At GEM Events, we believe your wedding should feel like you—not a copy-and-paste celebration. With thoughtful wedding planning and coordination rooted in purpose and heart, we help couples turn their vision into a beautifully organized, genuinely personal wedding experience.

Whether you need day-of coordination, partial wedding planning, or full-service planning, we meet you where you are and provide the support you actually need. From vendor communication and timeline creation to logistics, setup oversight, guest experience, and keeping the day moving smoothly, we handle the details so you can be fully present for the moments that matter.

We work with couples throughout Southern California, including Los Angeles, Pasadena, the Inland Empire, Orange County, and surrounding areas. We’re especially passionate about creating celebrations that reflect your story, personality, priorities, and budget—not someone else’s version of a “perfect wedding.”

With GEM Events, you get more than a coordinator. You get a planning partner who listens, advocates for your vision, anticipates the details, and brings calm to the process.

Planning with Purpose & Heart.

Exceptional service!

Tonimari was amazing! She kept everything organized, stayed on top of the timeline and vendors, and handled all the little details behind the scenes so we could simply enjoy our wedding day. We had some serious venue-related emergencies on the morning of our wedding, but she took care of all the communication and coordination so I could focus on getting ready. Knowing she had our backs gave us so much peace of mind on such an important day.

She truly went above and beyond, was incredibly easy to work with, and made the entire day feel so much less stressful. We’re so grateful for everything she did and highly recommend her to any couple!

Excellent Coordinator

We cannot thank GEM Events enough for making our special day absolutely perfect. From the moment we met, we knew we were in good hands, but what they delivered went beyond our expectations. We had various video meetings with Tonimari to ensure we were in alignment of expectations as well as a venue walkthrough to explain our vision. Everything, including the day-of timeline, was neatly organized in a shared spreadsheet that we could easily refer back to or clarify any questions. On the day of our wedding, Tonimari flawlessly executed every detail, ensuring that everything ran smoothly and according to plan. From before the wedding ceremony up until the end of the reception, she was helpful and communicative to not only us but our complete wedding party. From coordinating vendors to managing last-minute hiccups, she handled everything well, allowing us to truly relax and enjoy our day. One of the highlights of working with Tonimari and GEM Events was their incredible talent for decorating our reception venue. With just a few conversations and a last-minute decoration handoff, they understood our vision perfectly and brought it to life. Every corner of the venue was adorned with beautiful details that reflected our style and personalities, creating an atmosphere that was unforgettable. Our guests have raved about how stunning the venue looked and how smoothly everything flowed throughout the evening, and we have GEM Events to thank for that. They not only exceeded our expectations but also went above and beyond to ensure that our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more. If you're looking for a wedding coordinator who is not only highly skilled and organized but also genuinely cares about making your day as perfect as possible, look no further than Tonimari. She is an absolute *gem*, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have had her by our side on our special day.

Life Saver and Stress Reliever


GEM Events literally gave us the wedding of our dreams this February and my husband and I are beyond grateful for her and the team she connected us with. She recommended top tier vendors and everything went above our expectations. My husband and I can proudly say we had the Wedding Dream Team!
The wedding venue my husband and I booked stated we had a full-time wedding coordinator and for the lack of better terms, they unfortunately did not meet those expectations and left me stressed beyond my imagination. I started working with Tonimari the September before my wedding and she immediately jumped in to rescue me! Her attention to detail in regards to timelines, connections to vendors, and pristine communication removed all of my worries the moment we started working together.
In addition to Tonimari's planning, she is impeccable at balancing the need to get things moving and managing the emotional rollercoaster wedding planning comes with. She checked in with me twice a week to see how I was feeling, provided me reassurance, protected us from all of the things that did not go as planned, found solutions, and literally made our wedding day feel seamless so my husband and I could soak in every moment of the best day of our lives.
We are forever grateful for Tonimari and her team. With GEM Events by your side, I promise you, you will have the wedding of your dreams. We love you Tonimari!!!

Love,
The Ryans <3

Best wedding coordinator ever!

We are so blessed to have worked with Toni and Gem events! It was an amazing experience. Toni made us feel like family from day one. She was very well organized and thought of small details that we didn’t even think of. From setting up to the breaking down and clean up of the wedding day, she assigned roles to friends and family and her staff so that my husband and I did not have to do anything.
On the day of the wedding we felt like we got to really just enjoy our wedding and not feel like we had to organize or do anything.
Her staff was so friendly and they locked in like her. Toni coordinated with all of our vendors and made our wedding day so magical. We had a vision but we didn’t know what to expect until we did a venue walk through and it was everything that we could dream of and more.
Till this day we recommend her and Gem events to anyone who is getting married! We love Gem events 💖
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
