  A Great Planner and YOUR advocate

  A year of intense planning, lots of money committed to a storybook venue, and the night before the heavens opened to a furious June storm. By mid-morning the rain had stopped by the sky remained heavy, albeit with some promise of clearing. While the hotel pushed to move the ceremony and reception inside, we needed an advocate willing to push back and give us a chance to hold the event we dreamed of. That advocate was Gemma and she held the line and marshaled all the resources to put everything impeccably in place as sun broke through and delivered the most spectacular afternoon and evening. And despite this last minute rush, everything from flowers, to food, to reception and table arrangements were executed perfectly. And Gemma was the field general making all of this happen.
  
  Way before that glorious wedding day, we took Gemma’s advice on every detail. Her navigation of the seemly infinite number of choices and options paid off beautifully. We trusted her confidence in her vendors and they all came thru. Magnificent flowers from Figli
  Florist, Daniela’s first class hair & make-up team, Brightlights Band who not only made our reception but were fun and willing to work with all our requests and the best photographer, (and nicest guy) Marc Smith, who captured it all. And on Gemma’s request the opera singers who made our guests convinced they were in a movie. Our budget was not unlimited and looking back the choices she guided us to had enormous impact on making the day so memorable. We continually hear from our guests that the wedding, in fact the whole weekend, was the best wedding folks had ever attended. That sets an amazing standard and one in which we remain ever so grateful for Gemma. We wholeheartedly recommend Gemma. Not just for the litany of services provided by planners, but for being there for us at a moment where the day could have gone in a very different direction. Gemma will have your back.

  Gemma is just brilliant!
  Her responses are so speedy, she is also just filled with knowledge!
  
  Honestly in the end she was slightly out of my price range, but like a total Wonder Woman she was able to direct me to more relevant places, most importantly they were all legit and as professional as she is.
  I genuinely believe anyone who does get to work with this lady and her company are in the best, safest hands possible- Lucky you!!
  
  Thank you Gemma for helping my dream wedding take shape (and for not letting me get conned!) xx

  Most Amazing Experience!

  As you can imagine, planning a wedding can be super stressful and planning a wedding in a different country, insane! However, after a lot of research and weeding through wedding planners with personalities dry as toast, we found Gemma. When we first heard Gemma’s voice over the phone in our consultation meeting, her sweet, energetic personality lifted our spirits and put our minds at ease. Other wedding planners we initially consulted with were extremely pushy and had no consideration for our budget. Gemma was the exact opposite! She truly listened to us and what we wanted. It was obvious that she was there for us. There were times we felt very overwhelmed with all the decisions that needed to be made, but Gemma helped us remain calm and confident and continued to encourage us throughout the entire process. She made certain that we checked all the boxes on our to-do list in a timely manner in order to ensure our dream wedding would come to life. Gemma and her team made the planning process such a fun experience for us. We always looked forward to our phone call appointments with her as they would end with plenty of laughs and excitement in the wedding day countdown. Gemma is just as sweet in person as she is over the phone. We instantly connected with her and enjoyed the days we spent with her from the incredible tasting with the caterer to our appointment with our amazing florist. Everything from the food, the flowers, the venue, the photographer, the videographer was incredible and exceeded our expectations. Our guests and family are still talking about the wedding and how perfect everything was. Our wedding was so magical that we wish so much that we could relive the day all over again. It’s so hard to put into words how extremely grateful we are. We highly recommend Gemma and her team. You will not be disappointed!
