GK Events and Design

I am really happy that we used GK Events and Design as our wedding day of coordinator! Since we had 2 different locations for our ceremony and reception, having a team of 2 coordinators was a big plus for us. Gigi and Sandy were so helpful during the planning process - they answered questions, helped us brainstorm, coordinated with our other vendors to ensure that every detail was covered, and gave us feedback on our plans so that everything was perfect on our day. All of our decor was set up beautifully, and Gigi was a huge help with getting ready and making sure everyone looked their best. We were able to enjoy our whole wedding day with no worries of where to be or what to do, and our families were so grateful that they didn't have to worry about anything either. Our other vendors also had great feedback on working with them throughout the day. They were also truly just nice people and wonderful to be around - on such an important day of my life, I'm glad I had a patient, calm, and organized presence like Gigi by my side! GK Events and Design truly made our wedding day seamless and I'd absolutely recommend their services to anyone looking for an event coordinator.

Our experience with Gigi was both extremely professional and extremely personal. From the start of planning what was in some ways an overwhelming experience, Gigi and Sandy put at ease that everything was under control. From dealing with multiple vendors to laisoning with our venue, Bottino (also amazing!), GK Events had it covered.

Our event was very hands-on with much of the set and design made in-house, all of which was delivered and assembled precisely to spec without a hiccup.

Gigi and Sandy were also very helpful in the logistics of handling the schedule of events and developing a precise plan for all the wheres and whens. The trains ran on time!

The personal touch made all the difference to us. They weren't just seamlessly running our wedding they were truly a part of it all which made it very special. Our needs were their needs and our satisfaction was their only goal, one which was achieved in full. Our only wish was we had more events so we could work with them again. Five stars!

Gigi & Sandy were truly incredible- it will be very difficult to sum up all of the ways in which they helped us on our big day. To start, they are both wonderfully kind and enjoyable to talk to. All of our pre-wedding meetings were so pleasant because they brought such a cheerful and excitable attitude to every conversation. The pre-wedding meetings were thorough, insightful and detail oriented. They both asked great questions that my spouse and I had not considered and really helped steer us through all decisions we had to make. With the pre-wedding meetings we felt that our vision and overall wants, dreams, desires for the day were completely understood. Gigi & Sandy knew the ins and outs of our wedding better than us come the big day and it was very reassuring to feel so well taken care of. Leading up to the wedding the communication with them was so open and they were very quick to respond. Something else I want to note is that we did not have a big, fancy wedding. It was very DIY w/ friends and family filling in roles of photographer and and DJ- Gigi & Sandy were incredibly supportive which we both really appreciated. We are from the west coast and had an east coast wedding to be near family- there were a lot of small details we couldn't iron out since we couldn't frequent the wedding venue. During the rehearsal we still weren't sure where tables, food, dancing, photo op where exactly all going to go. Gigi & Sandy's ability to assess a venue the day before the wedding and plan out where the wedding party will walk from for the ceremony, where the bride will come from, where decorations, tables, etc. will go was truly phenomenal. They lead our rehearsal effectively to make sure everyone understood the task at hand for the following day. They made a thorough schedule starting the morning of the wedding day so the wedding party could all stay on track. They checked in on both my husband and I before the ceremony. During set-up they were able to come up with quick and easy solutions. Truly, their problem solving capabilities blew us all away. They were made for this line of work. They absolutely transformed our venue into exactly what we had pictured. During the wedding we were absolutely baby-ed by them. We did not have to lift a finger! Food was prepared for us and they made sure we ate, wedding party and family were gathered for photos before we requested it, AC turned down when it got a little stuffy from dancing. We are both so fortunate to say that we truly did not stress about a single detail on the day of our wedding. We just got to enjoy our day and have fun and be in love with each other. We could not imagine our wedding day without them. They made our special day the most fun day of our lives. We would recommend their services to anyone getting married and I would even go so far as to recommend our friends on the west coast get married on the east coast in order to use their services. They are an absolutely delightful team who put their all into making sure your day is special. We are forever thankful for them!

Hiring GK Events was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. They made everything feel so seamless and stress-free. From the moment they arrived, they took care of every little detail and allowed me to truly enjoy the day without worrying about a thing. They were so easy to work with and made me feel completely comfortable throughout the process, which meant so much to me as a bride. I can’t thank them enough for making our wedding day so smooth and memorable — I would recommend them to any couple in a heartbeat!

GK events was amazing! They were great to work with and on top of all the details from start to finish. They kept it all running smoothly day of and had great positive energy the whole time! I would highly recommend them!

Gigi & Sandy were a true joy to work with! My husband and I got married in New Jersey in June 2025 and we hired GK events back in September 2024. I am an individual who is a Type A planner, but really wanted to be present/mindful on my wedding day and wanted coordinators there I could trust and take over for me. Gigi and Sandy are those people! We had several meetings with them leading up to our wedding and Gigi even came to our venue with our final walk through with our Maitre'D and venue staff. They setup all the details I wanted, came up a very detailed timeline, and communicated with all our vendors beforehand and day of. Everything ran so smooth on our wedding day and we had no issues. It was such a beautiful and fun day. My husband and I highly recommend GK Events!

Gigi and Sandy are amazing. My bride-to-be and I originally planned to organize and execute our small wedding, but soon realized we wanted to actually enjoy the day and not worry about making sure everything runs smoothly. Gigi and Sandy were very accommodating and did everything they could to understand our vision for the day. As always, there were several last-minute issues that presented themselves. Gigi handled the changes with skill and grace and made sure everyone had a great time. We highly recommend GK Events and Design for any event, large or small.

Working with Gigi and Sandy was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very first consultation, they were warm, professional, and truly listened to our vision. They brought everything together so seamlessly that we were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment of the day.

Their attention to detail, quick problem-solving, and calm demeanor kept everything running smoothly—even when the unexpected popped up (as it always does with weddings!). The team coordinated with vendors flawlessly, managed the timeline with precision, and made sure everything—from the ceremony setup to the last dance—was exactly how we imagined.

What really stood out was how much they genuinely cared. They weren’t just ticking boxes; they were invested in making our day special. So many guests commented on how organized and beautiful everything was, and we owe it all to them.

If you’re on the fence about hiring a coordinator—don’t hesitate. GK Events is worth every penny and more. Our wedding wouldn’t have been the same without them!

Thank you for making our day unforgettable 💕

Wonderful people who supported us and were on our side every step of the way of the wedding.

We hired Gigi and Sandy for both wedding coordination and decor, and they knocked it out of the park with their planning and organization, aesthetic that they matched to our vision, and their being respectful toward our budget. The care they have toward their business and their clients shines through in their work, and the fact that they did a follow-up meeting even after the wedding really emphasizes that.

Their combination of friendliness and professionalism, even toward unexpected and hectic circumstances, kept us calm and reassured that everything would go well. By far the highlight of all our wedding vendors, and wishing them all the success in the future!

Gigi and Sandy were really like our wedding fairy godmothers. They listen, give advice, are personable and honest women. We had a farm wedding, which we built and designed from the ground up. Our wedding was on May 18, 2024 and we hired them in March, so they stepped into our planning process once our vision was already set. They were able to catch on easily and help it come alive. From the moment they started with us, they got to work! Every single thing that was brought in was rented or created by us. They began by getting in contact with all of our vendors and verifying everything we have rented or booked. Made sure that our vendors knew who they were and who to contact. They were available to chat as needed (alongside our scheduled/ included meeting times). They also traveled to the farm for site visits 2 times before our wedding weekend. On the night before the wedding, they stayed at the farm until all vendors dropped off the rentals and the property was cleaned up. Then, on the day of.. WOW. The farm owner failed us in many ways, but thanks to Gigi and Sandy they were our voices and made sure EVERYTHING went as smoothly as it could go. From setting up tables and chairs, to decorating, and managing the bridal party and guests as they arrived. We had a guest list of 212 people and not one of them knew any of the behind the scenes mishaps, thanks to them. We truly do not know what we would have done without Gigi and Sandy being on OUR team. Because of the amount of vendors and the farm owner being all separate entities, we needed someone who would be team Bride and Groom, make decisions when we couldn’t, and be our voices. We would and will be recommending them to any one who is ever in need of event planning. 5 stars all the way!
