Best Choice

From start to finish, Jerry was hands-on, attentive, and full of suggestions. When it came to selecting vendors for our special day: the venue, caterer, florist, officiant, DJ, photographer, and videographer all came at Jerry’s recommendations. Being that we lived in South Florida, and he lived in Orlando, we would meet regularly via Zoom calls. They continued even after he moved to Shreveport, LA midway through the planning process. He was very organized and checked in with us at various points to keep us on track, but he never overstepped. He always reminded us that we were in charge of our planning and choices but that he was there to help in any way that he could; sometimes even doubling as a couple’s therapist when we didn’t agree on a particular thing. My husband and I could not be happier with how everything turned out for our wedding and we believe Over the Rainbow Weddings should be at the top of everyone’s list when selecting a wedding planner.

My son's wedding.

I could not have been happier with the attention to detail from Over the Rainbow wedding planners. They planned my son's wedding, recommending a gay-friendly venue. His recommendations of vendors were spot on. I was so relieved that I had minimal to do, understanding that Gerry and his staff attended every detail. I showed up and enjoyed myself without having any worries. Thank you, Over the Rainbow.

Absolutely Love this guy right here. When we first met to talk about my wedding there was an instant connection. Gerald seen my vision and made it happen. He was very easy to talk to and was straight foward with everything. He was able to handle every detail, every plan, every thought I threw at him. He diffinetly gave me great suggestions and input as well. Gerald even took the time once to come dress shopping with me. He is very well connected with people of great status who also helped put my wedding together. I thank him so much as a wedding planner, and now a good friend of mine. I will always recommend him for any event.

I reached out to Over the Rainbow as I was attempting to conduct my own reception. The hectic day of my job did not allow me the time but, my controlling spirit of perfection and oder made it hard to give up control. Once meeting with Over the Rainbow I felt the comfort of releasing one most important days of my life. My Event took place over a week and I’m still getting phone calls and text on how organized and glamorous my event was. I have nothing but great words for Over the Rainbow and would advise anyone who wants the best to go with Over the Rainbow.

I could never say enough amazing things to begin to describe how great Gerald Wagner-Young was helping us through our wedding. He helped us with every little detail from floor plans, to the wedding timeline to the day of coordination. We had a few issues that happened during our ceremony/reception that we didn’t even know about until after everything was over. He took care of everything and made sure everything ran smoothly. Thanks to him we had the wedding of our dreams! I would recommend him 10/10! If I could give more than 5 stars I would!!

It was a pleasure to work with Gerald and Over The Rainbow Weddings. He helped us from the beginning of our planning process, and our entire wedding day was exactly what we wanted and went incredibly smoothly and according to plan. He was helpful with meeting and selecting vendors, as well as keeping us on track for different milestones during the planning process. Whenever we had questions, he would reply quickly with answers. This professional help was provided at a great value! We highly recommend Gerald and Over The Rainbow Weddings to anyone we know who is getting married!
