Gina was a dream to work with during our short 6-month wedding planning process. We envisioned a semi-destination wedding weekend extravaganza in beautiful Mendocino, CA with both ceremony and reception outdoors but at different venues. We immediately felt overwhelmed and decided to hire a planner to take some of the stress off.

Lucid Events wasn't the cheapest quote we received for wedding planning & day of coordination services, but Gina went above and beyond others right off the bat showing us she could deliver by immediately researching and getting us the right state park forms necessary to secure our ceremony venue and date - before we even officially decided to work with her!

Once the contract was signed, Gina was an excellent weekly brainstorming partner and advisor for everything wedding related - from putting together the planning timeline & tasks for all of us to invitation and decor ideas, napkin folds, ways to cut costs with florals, cake delivery advice, researching hard to find vendors and keeping me (the bride) from melting down!

During our actual wedding weekend, Gina made it so that I was able to really be present with my guests and actually enjoy my own wedding day instead of worrying about all the logistics, whether things were being set up correctly and if everything was on-time. She saved the day multiple times (from what I heard afterwards) when vendors arrived late, didn't bring certain contracted items and some setup items got mixed up between the ceremony & reception sites. She also personally saved this forgetful bride TWICE when I forgot my bouquet both right before I was supposed to walk down the aisle and again right before the bouquet toss.

I highly recommend Gina and Lucid Events for wedding planning and day-of-coordination services if you want to be able to relax and enjoy your big day. She was willing to flex to collaborate and take on as much or as little as I wanted her to during the design and planning phase and it was so easy to work with her even over VC. In addition, Gina is a lightning fast problem solver for any hiccups that might arise on the day of (and they inevitably will for any event no matter how well you plan & prepare).

All of our guests commented that it was the best wedding experience they had ever been a part of - couldn't have pulled it off without Gina!

Gina absolutely saved my life when my previous coordinator / rentals fell through 7 weeks before my wedding. She calmly stepped in and coordinated new rentals and inventory which took so much stress off of my back. She is kind and funny and listened to all of my requests and made them happen! I am super grateful for her!

As a complete type-B bride, I interviewed with a lot of different wedding planners. Gina and I immediately clicked and I am so grateful that she was our wedding planner. She sent me her top 3 choices for each vendor based on the vibe and budget, she was the one to set up the contact and initial meetings with everyone, and was my advocate throughout the entire planning process. She was always available to text and really never made my 1000x questions feel like a burden. 2 weeks before my wedding our venue sent us an email showing pictures of extensive construction and Gina immediately called me with solutions. She went to the venue to see the extent of the construction, told the venue it was unacceptable, and found us another beautiful venue all within 18 hours. I truly couldn't have asked for someone better in our corner, she made everything leading up to the event perfect and day of was just as amazing. I had no stress throughout my entire wedding process and think that Gina played a crucial role in that. We recommend Gina 10000% and are both so grateful she was there for our big day!

We met Gina about 2 years prior to our wedding date (May 2, 2025). This came after an endless search to find someone who would look to understand our inspiration. She was intent on bringing our vision to life and ensured that she stayed connected to our wedding journey.

We were very apprehensive about what to expect with a destination wedding, in not knowing how it would turn out or how much trust we would have to put in others. This was a time of uncertainty for us, but one where we were hoping for perfection.

Gina made those worries go away; she reassured us constantly and always valued our concerns. Thanking you Gina, for keeping our spirits up and maintaining our positivity throughout the process. The journey was worth it, for what eventually became, “The Perfect Wedding”!!!

Hands down Gina was THE best. She was on top of everything, super organized, all while being so nice and easy to work with. I hired her simply over how her vibe and personality came through over text message! She was the best to deal with and so easy to talk to. Gina was always available to talk and was so good at handling the most ridiculous situations that came up during my wedding planning. Her calm demeanor but also able to take care of any situation ( like getting us out of an awful vendor contract 30 days prior to our wedding) makes her amazing . She has personal relationships with all the vendors down here which helped us so much aka having to then find a new florist a month before our wedding day. All in all I would use Gina again 100 times over! It’s so important to have a planner who not only is good at their job BUT is also easy to have a relationship. Gina was that and more!

As a wedding photographer, I’ve had the privilege of working with many wedding planners, and I must say, Lucid Events is truly outstanding. From start to finish, the level of organization and attention to detail was nothing short of remarkable. Every aspect of the day was seamlessly planned, which made capturing the couple’s special moments effortless and enjoyable.

Gina has an incredible ability to anticipate every need, ensuring that the timeline flowed smoothly without any hiccups. From the perfectly arranged details to the well-coordinated transitions between events, it was clear that every element was thoughtfully prepared with both the couple and their vendors in mind.

What stood out most to me was Gina's calm demeanor and professionalism throughout the day. Even in moments of unpredictability (as weddings often bring), she handled everything with grace and efficiency, allowing the couple and their loved ones to stay fully present in the celebration.

Thanks to Gina, I was able to focus on my craft without worrying about logistical challenges. It’s so refreshing to work with a planner who understands the needs of every vendor and ensures we can all work together seamlessly.

I can’t recommend Lucid Events enough to any couple looking for a wedding planner who is not only talented and organized but also a true joy to work with. I look forward to collaborating again in the future!

Simply put: Gina is phenomenal! We found lucid events through our venue's list of recommended vendors. Right off the bat, our consultation phone call with Gina was nothing but good vibes. She was upfront about what she felt like we needed and didn't need from her and it was refreshing to have someone give it to us straight and honest. We ended up choosing her month-of-coordination package. They advertise themselves as your wedding day bestie and they are exactly that. Gina was super responsive to our calls and texts leading up to the wedding and gave us great recommendations for our vendors as well. Everyone complimented us on being so calm the week of the wedding but it is really because we knew that Gina could solve any disaster that could come our way. Day of our wedding, Gina and her assistant were there bright and early to help manage set up. She also took some really fun behind the scenes videos for us! At our church ceremony, my veil fell out of my head and Gina was right there with pins to help me discreetly reattach it. Everything went off without a hitch thanks to Lucid Events. I will be recommending them to everyone I know! Thank you Gina and team for an unforgettable experience! Love yall

Where do we begin!? Gina was absolutely incredible! She made each part of our wedding detailed, organized and fun! She was a great communicator as we planned our destination wedding. She was exceptional at remembering the small, but important, details. She took the heavy lift of communicating with each of our vendors beforehand, making sure they had everything they needed. She also made sure we were happy with every detail, and it's important to like everything; Gina made it easy for us to speak up if something was off. She helped us find additional needed vendors as we weren't as aware of all the options as we were from out of town, including looking into multiple locations for a rehearsal dinner She was also a fantastic hype girl, always bringing the energy. She curated a detailed day-of timeline and helped facilitate our dress rehearsal. With the provided decor, she set up all the decorations, tables, seating charts, florals, etc and took them down. There wasn't anything Gina couldn't do! She kept us on track throughout the day, made sure we were hydrated and happy. She was a critical part of ensuring our destination wedding was everything we wanted it to be; it wouldn't have been possible without her. Thank you, Gina!!!

A team of women that focus on the couple and help the vendors wherever they need. If the timeline adjusted or changed Gina would be sure we knew it and had enough time to get where we needed to go! Great teamwork!

I cannot recommend Gina and her team enough. She always made herself available and provided multiple options for us to pick from which was super helpful as a couple from out of state. All the vendors she recommended were spectacular and she was a great resource for negotiating. What originally made us feel comfortable with her was the fact that she provided us guidance, ideas, and videos before we even hired her. She is laid back and fun yet also professional and gets the job done. She always seemed to answer my texts and emails within hours and calmed my worries leading up the wedding. Thank you Gina for helping me bring my fairytale wedding to life!
