Gina makes the wedding planning process not just bearable, but fun! Every time we talked with her and went over plans we felt a weight lift off our shoulders. She is very organized, timely and creative. Gina managed to corral our crazy, loud, and fun wedding party so that the wedding ran smoothly and everything happened on time. Having inclusive wedding vendors was very important for us, we are so happy we found that in Gina. If you are questioning whether or not you need a wedding planner, you do. It will allow you to focus on the important things and be present during your special day. We cannot recommend Gina enough!Gina Marie Weddings & Events's reply:
Ahhh Sienna thank you so much for these kind words!! I LOVVVEEEDD working with you and Lana and creating this magical day for you two! I don't think I've ever wept so hard at a wedding before but hearing your vows, seeing the way you two looked at each other - it made my heart explode! THANK YOU for picking me to be a part of your journey! -

How much can one praise a wedding planner? Gina is absolutely phenomenal in everything that she does. She works with you to understand your vision of your dream day and makes it into a reality. (Felt like magic!) Both my husband and I work full time jobs while still going to school and Gina is patient with working with your schedule to meet and get everything ready for the big day. Our wedding would NOT have been possible without her. She not only planned but recommended a majority of the vendors we ended up using. I can honestly say, our wedding went off without a hitch. Gina is worth her weight in gold. She is always there to work with you and help you in anything and I mean anything that you may need. Every wedding needs a planner like Gina Marie.Gina Marie Weddings & Events's reply:
YOUR DAY WAS MAGIC & I am so happy to have been a part of it! I loved working with you and Thomas and lovvvveeeeed how your day turned out. I can't wait to see where this next journey take you two - cheers to forever!! -

Where do I begin?!?! To say hiring Gina for partial wedding planning was the best wedding planning decision we made would be putting it lightly. As a wedding planner myself I knew I needed a planner who would reel me in and take over so I could enjoy the process as a bride! Gina did just that. She heard our vision and ran with it. From design meetings to vendor selection she was imperative in every decision.
Gina went above and beyond to make sure every detail was exactly as we wanted, but she wasn't also afraid to be honest and open about what was feasible. As the planning went on I began to have decision fatigue and Gina took over. She knew what we wanted and we knew we could trust her to guide us to the vision we wanted within the budget we had set. No detail was left unturned. All the little details are what mattered to us most. They are what made the vision come to life. Her ideas were unique and designs we hadn't seen before which really excited us.
On the weekend of our wedding Gina & her team were a part of 3 events. The Wedding Rehearsal, Rehearsal Dinner, and Wedding Day. Having her with us all weekend long allowed us to really be present with our guests. We knew she had everything under control and would execute it perfectly for us. I am a very hands on person so leaving it all in the hands of her and just being in the moment was my entire goal of hiring Gina and her team and exactly that happened. All my husband, mom, and bridal party kept saying to me that they have never seen me so calm and carefree about an event and that's all thanks to Gina. I knew she had things under control and she did. Everything happened without a hitch or at least that I know of! Our guests were in awe of how smoothly the weekend flowed, and the compliments poured in.
I extend my heartfelt gratitude to Gina and her team for making our entire wedding weekend the most smooth and unforgettable experience of our lives. In a world of wedding planning, you are a true gem, and I am forever grateful for everything you did for us.Gina Marie Weddings & Events's reply:
EMILY - I AM LITERALLY A PUDDLE!! Thank you so much for your kind words. I am so honored you picked me to celebrate with and so grateful to have shared in this special moment with you & Chris. The day was absolutely stunning & you two were radiating that day! Wishing you all the best & can't wait to see where this new journey takes you two!!! -

Gina Marie Weddings & Events is FABULOUS!!
If you’re in need of a wedding planner, look no further than Gina Marie Weddings & Events. The best decision I made was hiring Gina and her team to plan and coordinate our wedding. Looking back there was simply no way that I could have done it without their expertise. My husband and I were originally planning on getting married in October, but I unexpectedly had to undergo major surgery and we were forced to cancel our wedding. We knew we would need help the second time around. The stress of planning a wedding during recovery seemed daunting. That’s where Gina came into our lives. She was our personal guardian angel. From the moment we met her, we knew she was special. She listened to our ideas and provided us with great suggestions that we would have never thought of on our own. Gina held our hands during the entire planning process. We loved how she embraced technology to organize and plan our wedding. Her website made it simple to access everything from the budget, guest list, vendor information, seating arrangements, and so much more. We were even provided virtual checklists to help keep us on task. Gina is probably the most detail oriented and organized professional that I have ever known, and all of our vendors would agree. They raved about Gina and her team the entire night, telling us that she was the best wedding coordinator that they ever had the pleasure of working alongside. As a bride on a budget, I really appreciated how Gina strived to make everything cost effective. When the estimate of flowers was a bit too pricey, Gina was on it. She worked with the florist to bring down the cost by a couple thousand dollars by repurposing the ceremony flowers and using more greenery and water features. It turned out beautiful! We really appreciated how Gina made herself available to us every second of our big day. She made sure that my husband and I were well fed and having fun the entire night. When my sister and mother couldn’t figure out how to bustle my dress, Gina took over and had it done looking beautiful in no time. When dirt mysteriously appeared on my train before the ceremony, Gina got on the floor with her shout wipes and tide pens to perform a last-minute miracle. Everything from the ceremony to the reception turned our perfect. It was beyond anything that I could have imagined on my own. I wanted a palm/beachy theme wedding and Gina gave us paradise. I remember walking into the ballroom completely stunned. It was incredible! The entire wedding night ran so smoothly, and all the vendors Gina recommended were phenomenal. It’s been nearly a month since our big day and our guests are still reaching out to tell us it was the best wedding they ever attended. We can’t express how grateful we are for everything Gina has done for us ❤Gina Marie Weddings & Events's reply:
Ah Ashley - thank you for your kind words!! Working with you & your family was so much fun and I am beyond happy the day went so smoothly & perfectly! You and David radiated with so much love and I am so honored to have given you the perfect day! -

Hiring GME was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding! After speaking to a few wedding planners, I had a good feeling about Gina and hired GME. First off, Gina is VERY organized and will keep the bride on track throughout the entire wedding process. I am very Type A and worried I would miss an important detail but it is almost impossible to forget or miss anything important with GME. They send out monthly reminders with things that need to be completed and deadlines.
Another thing I loved about working with GME is that I could always set up a call or meeting to discuss anything - brides, this is very important because other planners I spoke to had a very defined and limited amount of meetings/calls they would allow as part of their services. I cannot imagine having only 2-3 meetings with an event planner when there is SO much to discuss! Wedding planning became more challenging when my work life became a lot busier, especially the weeks leading up to the wedding. I was worried I would not be able to reach out to Gina as much or keep up with emails. But Gina went out of her way to make sure we could continue communicating whenever it worked best for me, even if sometimes she had to be flexible with her own schedule, which I very much appreciated!
Leading up to the wedding, Gina handled all communication with vendors. This might seem like a small detail but it was HUGE because it is not easy to keep up with emails with 10+vendors at once, especially towards the last few weeks. Gina coordinated everything and if there is anything that went wrong during the wedding day, I did not even find out because in my experience on my wedding day, everything went SO smooth!
But I TRULY realized how much EVERYONE needs a wedding planner/coordinator once the big day arrived. It is physically impossible to be a bride and try to be everywhere all at once. The day of the wedding I did not have to lift a finger. Gina took care of EVERYTHING (coordinating, setting up the things I had DIY’d on my own, making sure every other vendor was doing their job, etc). The best part is that at the end of the night, GME also took care of packing up everything that was mine including everything I had DIY’d, which I was not expecting (this is a service that some planners don’t have or that they charge extra for)! I had the luxury of enjoying my wedding day and at the end of the night, I was able to attend my after party without having to worry about picking anything up because GME did it all!
Additionally, Gina has a great eye and I had VERY big dreams. I wanted a fairytale wedding. Gina was always very supportive of my ideas and tried to work with me as best as she could while still advising me on budget and giving me recommendations based off her prior experiences. Needless to stay, I got a fairytale wedding and I am still in awe of how beautiful everything came together. I was very nervous about certain aspects of the decor, especially about having a reception with a tent (I was afraid it would look tacky) but I ended up trusting Gina and it honestly turned out to be the most beautiful wedding and even more gorgeous tent reception I have ever seen. It looked like it came straight out of a Pinterest board and it would not have been possible without Gina’s support. I was not an easy bride to work with and I am so thankful for her patience with me throughout this process!
I highly recommend Gina and the GME team for all wedding planning events!Gina Marie Weddings & Events's reply:
Ah Jessica - thank you so much for this review!!! We created a BEAUTIFUL wedding together and thank you for trusting me to make your dreams come true!! I will always remember how beautiful this day was! Wishing you two all the best! -

Alainna S. Sent on 04/05/2023Gina is amazing!
Finding Gina was the best thing to happen to us during wedding planning! She was such a joy to work with. Without Gina we would not have been able to have our dream wedding. It was above and beyond what we could have expected. She was always available day and night to answer any questions we had. Our wedding day went seamlessly even if something went wrong we would have never known because she handled everything with such grace! She is amazing if you are thinking of hiring her do it! Thank you Gina for making our day so incredibly special.Gina Marie Weddings & Events's reply:
Oh Alainna!!! Thank you for your kind words! I am sooooooooo happy the weather held out for you & Alonso. We were able to have your day exactly as you planned & that is my ultimate goal. You were an angel to work with and your family was the sweetest! Cheers to forever - you two deserve it! Congrats!! -

Where do I even begin?? To put it very simply, choosing Gina Marie Events for full-service planning was hands down the BEST decision I made for our wedding (besides my husband, of course). Gina has just the right talent, experience, organization, and creative vision and I knew she was a perfect match from our very first call. I had a pretty specific picture of what I wanted for our wedding, but needed help bringing it to life and balancing it on top of a full-time job all the way from NYC. Gina went above and beyond to make sure every detail was exactly as we wanted, (each of her vendor recommendations beyond exceeded my expectations) but she wasn't also afraid to be honest and open about what was feasible (especially when it came to budget) and came up with creative solutions when my initial idea was (in hindsight) completely bonkers.
Just when I thought Gina couldn't get any more amazing, then our actual wedding day came. I had been pretty hands on throughout the planning process, but the main reason I made the decision to invest in a wedding planner was so that we (including our wedding guests) could enjoy the day. I was SO calm on our wedding day (too calm if you ask my closest friends and family lol because they know my neurotic tendencies when planning a party) and honestly it was because I knew all the work we had done leading up to this day had prepared us, and that I 100000% trusted Gina to execute the plan plus make any on-the-spot decisions. My husband and I still talk about how PERFECT this day went and we couldn't have done it without Gina & her team.
I miss our monthly calls and checklists, Gina let's do it again!!!Gina Marie Weddings & Events's reply:
Omg yes please let’s do it again!! You were literally the best to work with and I am ever so appreciative of your organization, positive attitude and the pure excitement you had for the day. Literally nothing, and I mean it, nothing went wrong on your day & I am so happy to have been a part of it! Sooooo honored to have been a part of your journey and I can’t wait to see what’s next for you two! Cheers to forever ❤️❤️ -

I cannot recommend Gina and her team enough. Her patience, dedication and hard work was the biggest reason our day was so special. She brought my visions to life and went above and beyond to make sure everything was what I wanted regardless of the sunlight, weather, or space.
I met Gina back in 2019 when we worked an event together for Nova Southeastern. I was in awe of her organization back then, and when I found out she had started her own wedding planning business - I knew there was no better choice. From monthly video chats, to quickly-answered emails, Gina was my rock when it came to planning the day of my dreams.
So many of my vendors, including our venue, raved to me about her services and how involved Gina was with the process and how impressive she was. I just responded with a “I know :)”.
If you’re looking for a first-class planner - look no further. She’s right here.Gina Marie Weddings & Events's reply:
Aww Morgan!!! The "I know" made me tear up!! I am so glad we reconnected and having the opportunity to plan your special day meant so much to me!! You and Andrew radiated with so much love & it was such a fun party - and it was beautiful and the rain held out and ahhhhhh such a perfect day!!! Wishing you two nothing but the absolute best!!! -

I absolutely could not have had the wedding experience I had without Gina Marie Weddings & Events. Gina and her team went above and beyond not just on the wedding day, but throughout the entire wedding planning process.
As a bride who had been dreaming of her wedding day since she was a little girl, I already had somewhat of an idea of how I envisioned my wedding but I had no idea how to execute my perfectly curated Pinterest boards. Enter Gina.
No matter what question or concern I had, they had an answer and solution for anything I threw their way. Even more important, Gina is EXTREMELY responsive to emails, calls, and texts so I never felt ignored or neglected. I still have no idea if anything actually went wrong on my wedding day and for that I’m eternally grateful. I would recommend Gina to any bride, any day. And if I could do all again, the first call I’d make is to GME.Gina Marie Weddings & Events's reply:
Thank you for your kind words! I am so excited to have been a part of your special day & am even more honored to have been on this journey with you! The day was absolutely perfect and I am so happy for you and Lane! Please keep in touch! -
