SD Weddings by Gina

When we first started planning our wedding, we hired the venue first. Our venue required a coordinator and we had no clue where to start, so we filtered by highest ratings and sent out a bunch of messages to coordinators late at night as we browsed online. We received a message back from Gina within half an hour. Our minds were blown... like WHAT? Who is this superstar who is this responsive? She sent us info and we promptly set up a time to talk during business hours. In the first 5 minutes of our call while Gina was talking, I remember being so impressed with her enthusiasm, professionalism, and friendliness that I wrote a message to my then-fiancé to hire her then and there.

From a great first impression to the final goodbye at the end of our wedding reception, Gina was more than we could've ever hoped for in planning our special day. She guided us through the planning process with such care and love... I mean she is just so much fun to work with! We hired her for month-of services and we really are so grateful for making that decision. If you’re able to hire her to design and plan your entire wedding, do it! She will create something amazing.

We hired many of her recommended vendors because we knew they had to be top-notch to run in her circle, but also because many of them also had a "Gina discount" which helped our budget! Gina took care of making sure all of our vendors were on the same page and we honestly didn't have to worry about contacting any of them once we hired them. She took it from there and pulled together the wedding of our dreams! She is so creative and well-organized and truly, we couldn’t have had such a perfect wedding experience without her. She even came up with an idea to display our 1000 Japanese origami cranes on a cake swing. Everyone was thrilled to see our swinging cake and our cranes displayed so beautifully.

I spent some special time with her as she was with me alone in those last moments before I walked down the aisle. The ease and calm she extended to me really let me take in my moment and head down that aisle with true happiness! Hire her!

Wow!! I don’t even know to begin with Gina. She was a total godsend! I definitely would not have been able to plan this wedding without her! She was super organized, always responded to texts/emails/calls, and beyond helpful. She has the perfect demeanor-positive and calming - exactly what I needed while planning the wedding and the day of. From our first call to the last minute of the wedding- I knew I was in good hands with her. If you are looking for a wedding planner or coordinator she is your girl!!

Gina is a truly amazing wedding planner and person. She worked with myself, my now husband, and family for over a year planning our wedding! She was able to find us some amazing vendors that were within our budget but still exactly what we we were looking for. I will also say when I interviewed our vendors, they were extremely appreciative that Gina had recommended them and they were very excited to be working with someone like her! Our wedding was supposed to be April 19, 2020, however on March 17 our venue had to cancel our wedding due to all the COVID-19 restrictions that went into place. Gina, my husband and family fully took care of everything as I was pretty devastated and they were able to fully rearrange everything for our new date on August 1, 2020. Gina was so calm and positive, and took charge during this unknowing time to make sure that we felt good about our new wedding date and she was able to get all of our vendors on that same day as well! Our wedding day was more beautiful and perfect than what we even imagined and we were able to have an amazing time and enjoy the day thoroughly because she handled every single thing without us even knowing! Gina’s genuine energy, professionalism, and positivity throughout the entire process made this experience truly amazing and if it wasn’t for her, our day would not have been as perfect as it was!
