Creative, fun, elevated design and planning team!

Chelsea and Christy are a dynamic duo of creativity, organization and fun! Loved working with them to create a unique, beautiful and fun wedding for our 180 guests at the Parker Palm Springs.

Highly recommend!

Responsive, supportive, flexible!

I reached out to Chelsea & Christy based on a rec from a work colleague – and they were a delight to work with. I was looking for a coordinator option, seeking something on the cost-effective side, while still wanting true professionals who understood how to pull off a seamless wedding. They delivered on all fronts – helpful suggestions for vendors, guidance on decor, menu, and all number of other small details we hadn't already though of, provided organizing tools for table assignments etc, and took over management of communications as we led into the event. Most importantly, my husband and I truly had the BEST night ever and didn't have to worry about a thing – everything was taken care of, the event flow was perfect, and guest and wedding party needs were anticipated ahead of time.

We also engaged them for florals, again on a limited budget, and they truly delivered above and beyond on that front as well. The most gorgeous blooms, including some that were difficult to source at that time of year, that were exactly the vibe we wanted,

Thank you, Chelsea & Christy!!!

The best for day-of coordination and floral design!

Christy and Chelsea are the absolute best of the best. We worked with them to do day of coordination, plus florals, and we could not be happier. They were professional, strong communicators, and a ton of fun to work with. Their eye for floral design is out of this world, and what they put together for us was better than what we could have imagined and was commented on by many guests. We had an incident where a vendor did not deliver on their contract, but we had absolutely no idea until several days after - Christy and Chelsea handled it flawlessly and quietly. Their pricing is also unmatched given their quality of service in a super expensive metro area.

Don't think twice!

Beyond Amazing!

Hello Gem was the wedding planner for both of my sons’ weddings—May 2022 and July 2023 , and were fantastic planning, organizing and executing both wedding visions! The weddings were quite different—one at a hotel with infrastructure and the other at a historic California State park so no infrastructure. Hello Gem excelled at making both weddings flawless “best wedding ever” for each wedding couple and their guests. And we always felt Hello Gem had absolute control of all the variables. Such a joy to work with. Best decision !

The best of the best!

The Gems were such a pleasure to have by our side for our wedding planning. Christy and Chelsea were so organized, so accommodating, and extremely patient. They were incredible listeners, presented us with so many great ideas, and were our rocks in times of stress. We received countless compliments on our wedding - from the floral designs, to the lights, to the table settings, and the overall vibe being generally awesome. We were so happy with our decision to work with the Gems, and we know that they'll continue to make other weddings best time ever.

Amazing team!

I worked with the Hello Gem team (Christy and Chelsea) to plan my wedding and I couldn't be happier with the experience. My original date in September 2020 was postponed until September 2021 due to COVID and Christy and Chelsea made the process to postpone as seamless as possible. When we got back to planning in 2021 they were both incredibly responsive despite the fact that they were doing double the number of events in 2021. Hello Gem handled the florals, coordination, and decor (including all day-of printed items) for my wedding and each aspect was amazing. I loved that they worked with my inspiration to translate it into concrete plans (and was a huge fan of here are 2-3 options, let us know if you like these or not, instead of here are 15 options). The florals in particular were just incredible - especially the hanging floral installation at our ceremony. Christy and Chelsea know their stuff and any time I had a question or concern they were ready with a game plan. I also appreciated that they were always cognizant of my budget and made sure I was aware of any changes/extras (something not all vendors do) so I could decide what I was comfortable with. I would highly recommend the Hello Gem team for any event, including of course weddings, and would love to work with them again in the future.

Absolutely amazing

I had hands down the BEST wedding due to Hello Gem. Hiring them was truly the best decision. No detail was overlooked , and they gave me the Palm Springs wedding of my dreams. Both Chelsea and Christy were wonderful to work with- professional, responsive, and full of awesome ideas. They both are very creative and can bring any vision to life. From the tablescape, to the bar sign, to my STUNNING pink chuppah, it all came together picture perfect. They were so awesome, my sister has now hired them for her upcoming wedding. I would absolutely recommend Hello Gem !! The true dream team!

Wedding Planning Dream Team!

I initially hired Christy & Chelsea from HelloGem to help me plan my 250 person wedding but our plans changed due to COVID. We had many setbacks, changing invite numbers, and even a venue change 2 weeks prior to our wedding date. Their ability to pivot calmly and graciously did not go unnoticed - I had many different breakdowns and they were always there to respond to my questions, calm me down, and help guide my decision making. At the end of the day, we had a beautiful (yet small!) wedding and I truly could not have done it without them. HelloGem helped with my vendor coordination and keeping them in the loop, which took a huge load off of my shoulders, and on the day of they were organized and ensured everything went smoothly. HelloGem provided me with partial wedding planning, they did all the wedding florals and created my Save the Date, Rehearsal Dinner invitations, and formal Wedding Invitations.
Thank you for everything - you made my wedding dreams come true!
