Valentina L. Sent on 12/28/2020Great experience
Lena and her team were professional, easy to communicate with and flexible as plans changed for my wedding day with the craziness of 2020. Lena is easy to get along with, genuine and kind! This made doing all wedding planning with her fun and a great experience! My day turned out beautiful and I loved the clear ceiling tent we rented and all the string lights. Our dance floor on the tall grass in our backyard needed more support, and Lena and her staff effortlessly perfected it in no time with no stress! So grateful for her team that made my wedding so special.Global Event Marketplace's reply:
Valentina,
You and your family are absolutely a delight! I am so happy you trusted all of the reviews that you read about our company and hired us long before we had the chance to meet in person. When we finally did what a wonderful time it was!
You were a beautiful bride inside and out and I believe a Winter Wonderland was achieved in Florida!! Blessings to you and Zach!! -

Kristin DeMeo from GEM was the absolutely best!! She helped us from day one- from booking our perfect wedding venue to being there on our big day and executing all our ideas into action! Kristin kept in communication with us throughout our planning experience and put our minds at ease when Hurricane Ian blew through. Thank you Kristin for all your help- our wedding was perfect!!!Global Event Marketplace's reply:
Thank you very much for your kind review!
It was my absolute pleasure to work with the both of you! I wish you a very happy lifetime together! -

As soon as we met Kristen we knew we had to go with GEM for catering. Her attention to detail and fun but no-nonsense attitude was so reassuring. We did not have a coordinator yet when we hired GEM and Kristen was a great help with guiding us through the first steps of planning.
We had to move our wedding over 100 miles due to hurricane Ian and It was an extremely stressful time. We were so grateful the GEM team was able to come with us to the new venue. The guest loved the food and open bar. Thank you so much for being a part of our big day GEM team! -

The GEM team helped back our wedding day everything my husband and I dreamed of. We first toured our venue with Kristin, who was available and responsive to all questions we had. From there, Kristin helped us coordinate tastings, recommended other vendors, selections, etc. She always had our best interests at heart and truly wanted to make our day exactly what we wanted; she even went as far to recommend signature cocktails to add that extra personal touch to our bar. All items promised on contract were delivered and set-up accordingly, and our day ran so smoothly because of GEM!Global Event Marketplace's reply:
Thank you so much for this kind review! We loved working with you! We wish you and Torrance the happiest and brightest future together!! :) -

GEM was a great choice for my wedding! We were able to cater to a variety of dietary needs (vegetarian, complicated allergies, etc.), and I couldn't have asked for a better result. At many weddings, the food isn't necessarily memorable -- but my husband and I have been complimented over and over about the exceptional wedding food GEM provided, and I agree with them wholeheartedly! This bride was one hungry gal come reception time, and I felt full and energized without feeling weighed down after having my dinner. The service was excellent from the moment we first inquired into their offerings. Everyone who helped us was friendly, responsive, and flexible when we needed to make adjustments or let something fall through the cracks. On the day of our event, the onsite workers were excellent. My husband and I both recommend GEM! -

Growing up in Ft Myers Burroughs Home holds a special place in my heart. As soon as i was engaged, i knew we would tie the knot here. The house, grounds, pavilion were perfect for each step of our wedding day from getting ready to ceremony to reception. Lena of GEM was so attentive and guided us through the planning process and day-of execution. She’s an all star! We had around 150 guests and everything was executed perfectly. PS - we rebooked from Nov 2020 to Nov 2021 due to Covid, and GEM was very understanding and helpful. -

Marisa Z. Sent on 04/01/2021All inclusive amazing service!
I labeled this all-inclusive because GEM helped with both the cartering and rental aspects of planning. This made wedding planning sO EASY and having to deal with one point person, Lena, and not tracking down people. Lena is an amazing hard worker and she was always responsive during the entire process. My Mother & I asked many questions, and it never seemed to be a bother.
The food was deliscious and many a guest commented on the quality. The farm-to table approach gave a personal touch to the cuisine for our guests! We did a buffett style, socially distanced wedding and GEM made sure it was a cinch!
I would recommend working with Lena and GEM inthe future to anyone that wants their major event done right! Thanks again!Global Event Marketplace's reply:
Marisa,

Blessings forever!! Give your mom a hug for me 😊 -

Elysia A. Sent on 11/15/2020Delicious food & easy rental process
We used GEM for our bar, catering, and rentals. Everything turned out beautifully, and we got lots of compliments on the food! We did the grilled steak and chicken, which are way better than you'd expect from their simple names! Lena was very flexible with different options too, working with us to make sure we got the drink options we wanted and that the floorplan was what we imagined. We rented some lawn furniture and outdoor games from them too, which were a big hit! I was also really impressed by the wait staff on the day. They checked in multiple times to make sure my husband and I got fresh plates of food and that our cake cutting went smoothly.Global Event Marketplace's reply:
Thank you so much for the wonderful review!
Your family was a pleasure !
Praying many years of happiness for you both!! -

NPHS Prom 2019
Lena and her team were very professional during our event. Our Prom was a success in part because the event center was transformed by Global Event Marketplace. Lena’s attention to details, vision and professionalism were incredible. No doubt we will be using them again next year.Global Event Marketplace's reply:
Thank you so much for trusting GEM! You challenged us with your Enchanted Garden Theme. We can not wait until next year! -

Lena and Chris were outstanding to work with during the entire process. GEM was the 4th company we interviewed to cater our wedding. After meeting them, we both knew they were the perfect fit for us. In addition to the incredible food and service, they treated us like family members and made us feel incredibly special. We look forward to working with them for all our future catering needs.Global Event Marketplace's reply:
Carrie and Alex it was such a pleasure working with you both. You had clear vision and made our job easy to bring your vision to life! We look forward to being a part of your lives and seeing your family grow! May you have a very long and blessed marriage! -

What a relief it was to have GEM as our catering and rental vendor. We were able to enjoy getting ready for our wedding with family without having to think it worry about the details of the ceremony or reception. Everything was setup so beautifully and the meal and service was wonderful. The whole experience was seamless and so enjoyable. What a blessing it was to us on the most memorable day of our lives. Thank you, GEM!Global Event Marketplace's reply:
