Creative, fun, elevated design and planning team!
Chelsea and Christy are a dynamic duo of creativity, organization and fun! Loved working with them to create a unique, beautiful and fun wedding for our 180 guests at the Parker Palm Springs.
Highly recommend! -

Responsive, supportive, flexible!
I reached out to Chelsea & Christy based on a rec from a work colleague – and they were a delight to work with. I was looking for a coordinator option, seeking something on the cost-effective side, while still wanting true professionals who understood how to pull off a seamless wedding. They delivered on all fronts – helpful suggestions for vendors, guidance on decor, menu, and all number of other small details we hadn't already though of, provided organizing tools for table assignments etc, and took over management of communications as we led into the event. Most importantly, my husband and I truly had the BEST night ever and didn't have to worry about a thing – everything was taken care of, the event flow was perfect, and guest and wedding party needs were anticipated ahead of time.
We also engaged them for florals, again on a limited budget, and they truly delivered above and beyond on that front as well. The most gorgeous blooms, including some that were difficult to source at that time of year, that were exactly the vibe we wanted,
Thank you, Chelsea & Christy!!! -

The best for day-of coordination and floral design!
Christy and Chelsea are the absolute best of the best. We worked with them to do day of coordination, plus florals, and we could not be happier. They were professional, strong communicators, and a ton of fun to work with. Their eye for floral design is out of this world, and what they put together for us was better than what we could have imagined and was commented on by many guests. We had an incident where a vendor did not deliver on their contract, but we had absolutely no idea until several days after - Christy and Chelsea handled it flawlessly and quietly. Their pricing is also unmatched given their quality of service in a super expensive metro area.
Don't think twice! -

Beyond Amazing!
Hello Gem was the wedding planner for both of my sons’ weddings—May 2022 and July 2023 , and were fantastic planning, organizing and executing both wedding visions! The weddings were quite different—one at a hotel with infrastructure and the other at a historic California State park so no infrastructure. Hello Gem excelled at making both weddings flawless “best wedding ever” for each wedding couple and their guests. And we always felt Hello Gem had absolute control of all the variables. Such a joy to work with. Best decision ! -

The best of the best!
The Gems were such a pleasure to have by our side for our wedding planning. Christy and Chelsea were so organized, so accommodating, and extremely patient. They were incredible listeners, presented us with so many great ideas, and were our rocks in times of stress. We received countless compliments on our wedding - from the floral designs, to the lights, to the table settings, and the overall vibe being generally awesome. We were so happy with our decision to work with the Gems, and we know that they'll continue to make other weddings best time ever. -

Amazing team!
I worked with the Hello Gem team (Christy and Chelsea) to plan my wedding and I couldn't be happier with the experience. My original date in September 2020 was postponed until September 2021 due to COVID and Christy and Chelsea made the process to postpone as seamless as possible. When we got back to planning in 2021 they were both incredibly responsive despite the fact that they were doing double the number of events in 2021. Hello Gem handled the florals, coordination, and decor (including all day-of printed items) for my wedding and each aspect was amazing. I loved that they worked with my inspiration to translate it into concrete plans (and was a huge fan of here are 2-3 options, let us know if you like these or not, instead of here are 15 options). The florals in particular were just incredible - especially the hanging floral installation at our ceremony. Christy and Chelsea know their stuff and any time I had a question or concern they were ready with a game plan. I also appreciated that they were always cognizant of my budget and made sure I was aware of any changes/extras (something not all vendors do) so I could decide what I was comfortable with. I would highly recommend the Hello Gem team for any event, including of course weddings, and would love to work with them again in the future.-

Absolutely amazing
I had hands down the BEST wedding due to Hello Gem. Hiring them was truly the best decision. No detail was overlooked , and they gave me the Palm Springs wedding of my dreams. Both Chelsea and Christy were wonderful to work with- professional, responsive, and full of awesome ideas. They both are very creative and can bring any vision to life. From the tablescape, to the bar sign, to my STUNNING pink chuppah, it all came together picture perfect. They were so awesome, my sister has now hired them for her upcoming wedding. I would absolutely recommend Hello Gem !! The true dream team!-

Wedding Planning Dream Team!
I initially hired Christy & Chelsea from HelloGem to help me plan my 250 person wedding but our plans changed due to COVID. We had many setbacks, changing invite numbers, and even a venue change 2 weeks prior to our wedding date. Their ability to pivot calmly and graciously did not go unnoticed - I had many different breakdowns and they were always there to respond to my questions, calm me down, and help guide my decision making. At the end of the day, we had a beautiful (yet small!) wedding and I truly could not have done it without them. HelloGem helped with my vendor coordination and keeping them in the loop, which took a huge load off of my shoulders, and on the day of they were organized and ensured everything went smoothly. HelloGem provided me with partial wedding planning, they did all the wedding florals and created my Save the Date, Rehearsal Dinner invitations, and formal Wedding Invitations.
Thank you for everything - you made my wedding dreams come true!-

Hello Gem is absolute magic!
Hello Gem is a team of smart, creative problem-solvers that will help guide you through any and all wedding challenges with grace and poise. The Hello Gem team helped with our month-of wedding coordination, decor, printed materials, and flowers for our wedding at Rimrock Ranch on 10/12/2019, and they went so above and beyond to help make the day special. From the start, months before the wedding, they were always prompt and helpful in email conversations to help with any questions I had, and in the days and weeks leading up to the wedding, so incredibly helpful. They helped advise on how to adjust decor for weather, including bringing in some last-minute parasols for the ceremony and blankets for the evening outdoor reception. I really appreciated how many tools and project management components they brought to the coordination, to ensure all communication was streamlined and the seating chart was well-planned for the space and flow of the evening. I can't recommend them enough - bring in this wonderful team, they bring peace and calm to your wedding team, you won't regret it!-

Hello Gem is everything!
I absolutely love the ladies at Hello Gem! I used them for my florals and month of coordination and honestly was worth every darn penny! The attention to detail on the day of was more than I could have asked for and imagined - they completely helped make my dream wedding a reality. They listened to everything that I wanted and my flowers were freaking amazing! If you're even contemplating hiring Hello Gem, just do it! They were the best! And let's be real you'll just want to be friends with these ladies because they're awesome and so down to Earth. -

Amazing, Professional, Hip
Hello Gem exceeded our expectations. From the start, they were always available and responsive to all of our needs. Even when asking questions out of their realm, they were happy to guide us in the right direction. Our wedding turned out even better than we imagined with the help of their decor expertise. Hello Gem transformed our venue space into something we could only dream of. We highly recommend them to anyone! -

Hello Gem -- The Best in the Business
I can't say enough great things about the ladies of Hello Gem Events. When looking for wedding planning and coordination, we wanted to find someone who really understood our style, vision and personality. Not only did we find someone, but we found two people...the most incredible team in Christy and Chelsea (true GEMS) and I couldn't be more grateful that they were such an integral part of our wedding. From the initial phone call with Chelsea, I knew working with them would be one of the best decisions we made in our wedding process.
We worked with Hello Gem for planning, design coordination, floral design and graphic design. They nailed EVERYTHING and the process of working with them was so easy. They took the time to get to know us and were always available to email, text, call when needed (in fact, I miss our daily emails and text conversations). They are incredibly understanding when it comes to budget and offered great advice as to where we should spend vs. save (never felt pressured when it came to budget). They have fantastic relationships with every type of vendor you can possibly need. I especially loved that they offer multiple services. Having one team operate the planning, coordination, design and florals was a game changer. Speaking of florals, the flowers at our wedding were incredible. We received so many compliments and the Chuppah they created looked exactly like the inspiration photo I shared with them. When it came down to the weeks leading into the wedding and making some last minute decisions on certain things such as floral arrangements for tablescapes, bar menus, dinner menus, etc. they ran all ideas by us, but my response to them was "whatever you think will look the best works for us." We had the utmost trust and comfort with them.
I could go on for days about Hello Gem and will continue to sing their praises. They truly made our wedding weekend so easy and I'll be forever grateful for the comfort knowing they were overseeing it all. Many of our guests commented that our wedding was the best wedding they've ever been to and a large part of that was due to working with the best in the business--Hello Gem Events.
I wish we could plan another event together. -

Couldn't recommend Hello Gem more!
We are SO happy we enlisted Hello Gem for wedding coordination because we couldn’t have pulled it off without them. In the month leading up, Chelsea and Christy were always available to answer questions and provide advice. They jumped right in and started handling stuff, which totally put me at ease. The wedding itself went so smoothly, allowing us to enjoy ourselves and spend time with our guests. AND they have a great eye for styling and decor, so we trusted them completely with our vision. -

100% the best!!
Christy and Chelsea at Hello Gem are AMAZING! Not only are they really fun to work with but they can really execute a phenomenal event. Their style is amazing and they are great at molding that into whatever your personal style is. I felt in great hands the entire time and wouldn't have changed a thing -- our wedding from start to finish was perfect. They totally understood the vibe we were going for and made great suggestions that made our party so much fun. Our florals were also some of the prettiest things I've ever seen and I irrationally wanted to take everything home and keep it forever. We had them do our invitations as well and they were awesome. Can't thank them enough for the absolutely amazing job they did on everything. -

They are absolute GEMS!
When I was looking at weddings online I kept finding that I was always drawn to weddings done by Hello Gem. After speaking to Christy on the phone I knew they were the ones for me! Beyond being insanely talented they are funny and kind and made me feel instantly comfortable. They took my very confusing vision and made it a reality!! Trying to blend the best of Scotland and Palm Springs is not always easy. I trusted them and they created the wedding of my dreams. EVERYONE (Americans and Scots alike!) told me how stunning everything was. Best of all they made it so easy and fun!! I am only sad that I don't get to have another wedding and work with them again!-

Hello Gem was beyond amazing. They did my florals, decorations, and my day of coordination.
People always said "no one will remember your florals, don't bother spending too much money on them" and let me tell you, EVERYONE remembered my florals. Its literally all anyone is talking about! Also pricing was very reasonable.
My decorations were all customized. Hello Gem had a great level of detail in which they used my invitations to ensure all my signage was cohesive. They also created designs based on our requests which turned out super cool!
I can't say it enough but there's no way my wedding would have been as incredible and seamless without them. People asked me for planning advice afterwards and I said hire Hello Gem!-

We honestly can't say enough amazing things about the brilliant (and fun) gals at Hello Gem. We were pretty apprehensive about choosing a wedding planner in general because we didn't want anything stuffy or boring AND we had some pretty strong creative visions of our own -- but Hello Gem listened to what we liked, gave us honest and constructive feedback every step of the way and built upon everything we had every imagined to a degree we never thought possible. Their flower and decorations were elegant, edgy, colorful, creative and totally 100% unique to us and our vibe. They really took the time to get to know us as people and reflect that in what they brought together. We used the same courtyard for the ceremony and the reception and it was INSANE the way the transformed that space in like 60 minutes. When I walked into the dinner -- I actually welled up with tears because it was so beyond perfect. (Tbh I'm about to cry again right now).
On top of everything else, we were dealt some really difficult medical blows to our families during the short planning process (Feb to Sept) -- and Christy and Chelsea really helped us stay on track and lowered our stress and pressure so much during those moments. They also kept our heads on straight at the very end with the inevitable shifts in guest list, vendor needs and scheduling - we didn't feel stressed because they just knew we could trust them and it was such a relief.
If you want a wedding that is full of personality, charm, individuality and a planning experience that feels like you're just hanging out with friends who have like super good taste then HELLO GEM IS 4 U. (They also have the most amazing jumpsuits in the world -- the official pink ones but also their personal collections are WOW) -

Hello Gem absolutely crushed it!! We had ideas about what we wanted our wedding to look like, ideas about what we didn’t want our wedding to look like, but had honestly never been to many weddings so felt a bit in the dark. Christy & Chelsea are experts in what they do and helped translate our ideas into a spectacular event. We can confidently say that it was one of the best nights of our lives and it wouldn’t have been what it was without all of their help and guidance. From timelines to vendors to styles and looks, HG did it all, all the while paying attention to our ideas, concerns, etc. Our shared pinterest board made communicating our style fun and simple, and they were also prompt to get us answers to any questions. We ended up hiring all of their recommended vendors and also used HG for floral and signage/decor services in addition to their planning services. The flowers were especially amazing and guests are still talking about their arrangements. Especially when it comes to the one month countdown to one week countdown to day-of, HG was incredibly helpful and always exuded chill, making us feel relaxed on wedding day. Our wedding was beautiful, and after lots of planning, all we had to do was show up and enjoy it, all thanks to Hello Gem. We can’t thank them and recommend them enough! -

Hiring Hello Gem as our wedding coordinators and floral designers was the best decision we made! We owe everything from the flawless timeline and execution to the most jaw-dropping venue transformation to them. They nailed every single detail of the planning portion – handling all the logistics and made sure everything was on time and perfect! The girls also bring such a sweet, joyful and calming vibe – the exact type of energy we wanted on our big day. We were able to truly relax and enjoy the day!
Hello Gem also did our florals and design – they are true artists! From the bohemian bouquets, to the center pieces, to the unique floral installations, to the flowers on the cake…they went above and beyond my expectations! They converted a large, empty industrial/blank canvas venue space, into a super intimate, uber-romantic, candlelit dinner party – draped in the most beautiful flowers. It was seriously so dreamy and my husband and I’s jaws dropped the first time we stepped into the reception space.
The icing on the cake was that whenever another one of our vendors asked who our wedding planner was, and we said Hello Gem, they all gushed, “OMG, love Hello Gem. Those girls are awesome - you’ll be in amazing hands!”. And I couldn’t agree more! We couldn’t have asked for a more creative, professional, sweet and fun duo than Chelsea and Christy of Hello Gem!
Thank you for making our wedding the most perfect day and being such a joy to work with! -

We had the best experience with Hello Gem and were SO happy with their services. They did our day of coordination and our flowers and I was so happy with both. Planning was super easy with them. The day of the wedding went super smooth and they made sure I didn’t have to worry about anything that night (they even went out and got more tequila when we ran out). The flowers were beautiful and exactly what I had hoped for. Thanks so much Chelsea and Christy for making our day so amazing! -

Hello Gem did an expert job of overseeing the best party of our lives. Given how many moving parts there were, including an Indian flash mob, a 40" disco ball, and a cotton candy machine, it's pretty remarkable there weren't any hiccups. My husband and I used Hello Gem for wedding and design coordination as well as florals, and they did an amazing job of executing our vision. We had a lot of ideas and strong preferences coming into things, and we were aiming for a very particular vibe. We felt confident that Hello Gem would be able to achieve it, but the end result was far more dazzling than either of us even imagined. Countless people have made a point to tell us that the wedding felt very “us” and that it was the best wedding they’d ever been to. I’m certainly not one for bragging, but it’s true that Christy and Chelsea created something magical for our families and friends and us. They are very good at what they do, and they are linked up with some solid resources and referrals that make the process much easier. If you want your wedding to be dreamy, know that you're in the best hands with Christy and Chelsea. -

Hello Gem are hands down the reason our wedding was so successful and one of the best weekends of our lives. We can't recommend hiring them enough - they went above and beyond to make us feel well taken care of throughout the entire process. There was never a moment we were stressed or worried that our wedding wouldn't be flawless. Their design is IMPECCABLE and INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL. Also, they are two of the sweetest and most detail oriented human beings, so we LOVED meeting with them and talking on the phone and getting to go through the whole process with the two most amazing partners in crime. We loved our wedding so much that we want to do it all over again!! If you're considering hiring Hello Gem for your wedding (or event!) you will NOT regret it! Hiring them was hands down the best decision we made through the entire wedding planning process. We cannot gush about them enough!!! -

Five stars ALL AROUND for Hello Gem!
We worked with Hello Gem on the florals for our wedding in LA. They were at the top of our list of vendors that we wanted for the day and boy, did they deliver!
To start the process, we talked about about the look and vibe we were after and Chelsea sent back a floral board of ideas that pretty much nailed it in one shot. They helped us work with our budget and gave us great options along the way so we felt involved and taken care of. They were total pros on the day-of and our other vendors raved over how easy they were to work with and we couldn't agree more.
We can't say enough nice things about Hello Gem. Chelsea and Christy are just the BEST and we would recommend them a million times over. -

The creativity and attention to detail that Hello Gem provides throughout the entire planning and event process is top notch! We planned our wedding around the opportunity to work with them because of their gorgeous portfolio, unique detailing, ahead of the trends floral and decor skills, and familiarity with our venue in Palm Springs. Not only are they reliable, professional, and communicative but they are so fun to work with! They really helped my husband and I with making the tough decisions and never pressured what wasn't within our vision. I am so happy we hired them and we were 100% satisfied with our event styling, florals, planning, and the organization of the entire day! If you want an amazing, stylish, and unforgettable day plus a manageable and fun planning process, you should hire Hello Gem! They are also incredible about making sure your wedding feels like "you" as a couple while also creating a beautiful end result overall.-

I could not have been happier with The Gems! I started following them before I was even engaged, mostly because I loved their invites and stationary. As soon as we were engaged, they were my first call and I seriously booked my wedding date around their availability. They truly brought my vision to life and then some. I never felt pressured to hold "tradition" and they always "heard" me when I expressed the vibe and feel I was going for. I just adore these girls and miss our daily/hourly emails. -

Hello Gem made the planning of our wedding and the actual wedding day relaxing! I know that sounds crazy because it’s all supposed to be very stressful according to what people say, especially for a detail oriented person like me! They designed our paper goods, florals, and overall ambience with our likes and needs in mind. They worked with our vendors to make the logistics smooth. The ladies of Hello Gem are most importantly so pleasant, easy to work with, and they really care about making this day special for you! They leave me wondering what else I could use their services for?! -

I worked with Hello Gem on my Palm Springs wedding earlier this month, and am so happy we chose them! They designed and printed our save the dates and invitations, which turned out super cool, and really set the tone for our wedding day. They also did the wedding day florals, including bouquets, boutonnieres, ceremony arch, and centerpieces/table decor. I gave Chelsea an idea of the vibe I was going for in terms of the florals and tables, and she took it from there. Everything looked absolutely beautiful. Hello Gem are super creative and talented; everything they do looks amazing. They're fun to work with and are organized and professional too. Thank you!! -

Working with Chelsea and Christy from Hello Gem was a joy, from initial planning all the way through to my wedding day. I had their help as 'day of planners' as we had a small wedding (~70 people) at the Viceroy in Santa Monica and they also created all of our floral arrangements for the day. From the start they were incredibly organized, sharing a mood board for flowers and providing feedback and guidance on some of the ideas I had for vendors and a candy bar. I spoke with them a few times initially, then we checked in probably once a month in the final lead up to the wedding.
Day of planner services: Thanks to Chelsea and Christy I was able to enjoy my wedding day completely, without running around checking on vendors, setting up decorations or worrying about whether our family had questions. They were incredibly professional on the day and there was not a single issue or question I had to assist with. Chelsea and Christy worked behind the scenes to create a perfect, stress free, incredible day for us and our guests. They did a phenomenal job of coordinating our vendors and setting up our candy bar which was a huge hit on the night- I was blown away by how amazing they made it look, which was a credit to their artistic sense (way better than I could have done!)
Flowers: I wanted a classic look for our wedding and had chosen white flowers (roses, orchids, hydrangeas, etc) with green foliage. The table settings had votives surrounding them which we rented from Hello Gem along with marble table numbers. The flowers decorating our ceremony were also stunning - large white floral arrangements on giant perspex stands and glass vases, with green foliage and a range of different candles. This was inspired by photos I had found online, but was many times more beautiful. Last but definitely not least, Hello Gem were able to source peonies for me (from Alaska no less!) despite these being out of season in August. -

I am so thankful that we found Hello Gem! Christy & Chelsea are such sweet gals who really take the time to listen to your requests! We spent a year planning our desert wedding together and I am happy to say that they executed our vision while still respecting our budget :) This was super important to us! Being an outdoor wedding, we realized that we would be vulnerable to the elements and on the actual day of.. the wind was extremely strong. Christy & Chelsea did everything possible to make sure that everything went off without a hitch. The venue looked gorgeous and they were so sweet and professional throughout the day. In the evening, the wind blew over a glass of red wine that spilled all over my wedding dress =/.. Christy & Chelsea rushed me inside and assisted with getting the stain out!! As if they had enough going on and they still took the time to help me out :)
I would highly recommend Hello Gem as wedding coordinators, designers, florists and people in general!
Thanks again ladies!! xoxo -

There really is no way to put into words how amazing Christy & Chelsea are. I started the wedding planning process knowing that I needed some serious help in the design department. I also knew I wanted a beautiful wedding that was traditional with a unique twist, something you had not seen over and over again. I contacted Hello Gem and tried to secure them ASAP ( I think 16 months in advance). They are insanely brilliant and made our wedding more beautiful than we could have ever imagined. They were able to take everything I said I wanted and elevate it to the NEXT level. I hired them for Wedding Design, Day of Coordination, Decor & Florals but I got SO much more. They are true artists and some of the most genuine people you will ever meet. I almost had a complete DIY wedding and every single vendor I hired mentioned how awesome my wedding planners were. I am already trying to think of more events I can plan so I can hire them again!! My advice is to hire them and trust them to execute your vision, respect your budget and make your wedding the best day of your life!! I wish I could give them 20 stars!! They are truly the best!! -

Hello Gem was by far the best decision we made in the whole wedding planning adventure. The Hello Gem gals made our whole planning process and wedding day stress-free, so enjoyable, and a day I would relive over and over again. My friends and family continue to compliment every aspect of our event, including how relaxed and happy we seemed on our wedding day. We used Hello Gem for event coordination and design, day-of coordination, invite design, florals, and rentals, and they executed above and beyond on every single detail, they truly are a top notch one-stop shop for wedding coordination and design. My advice to couples planning their dream day would be to hire Hello Gem, they are worth every penny...communicate what you do and don't want in terms of design/vibe/flow, and sit back and allow them to make your event one of a kind without a hitch. I truly, truly respect and adore these gals, they are THE BEST! -

They had amazing suggestions and advice and made my day run beyond perfectly! anyone would be lucky to have these two by their side on their wedding day! -

We are so glad we chose Hello Gem for our day-of coordination and wedding florals in Pioneertown, CA! We looked through their portfolio and immediately knew that it was a great match. My husband and I enjoy being a little creative some times, so we decided we would do all our own design (invites, website, signage etc.), decorations, vendor selections, etc. The Hello Gem girls were always an email or phone call away from vendor recommendations. A month before the wedding, we all met in person and discussed the vision and the finer details so that they could help create a timeline for us and make sure the vendors were all set. I wasn't quite sure what kind of florals I wanted, so I gave them a folder with everything we had worked on so far, and they created florals that were so perfect and fit right in to everything else we had planned. We are thankful they were there on our rehearsal day to help run over some key events. On the day of, they were super fantastic at getting all our decorations and plans in order and under way while the rest of us were busy getting ready. Everything turned out wonderful, and they even made an alcohol run during the wedding when our alcohol was running low (nobody noticed yay!). We highly recommend Hello Gem! -

After booking Hello Gem to help coordinate my wedding, I felt so relaxed and at peace with the days leading up to my wedding. I knew everything was under control and was going to look amazing. After searching endlessly for florists, I ended up hiring Hello Gem for floral services as well. Having them help with multiple aspects of the wedding made everything so much easier. They also put us in touch with some great vendors which helped us save money in the long run. Our wedding was beyond beautiful, and even though we were surprised with some rain on the day, they had everything under control! Not only did I have awesome coordinators, but I made some awesome friends! -

Hire. These. Girls!
Christy and Chelsea really know their stuff! They did an incredible job styling and coordinating my wedding. They are professional, easy-going and, above all, incredibly nice and fun to work with. They were easy to contact and always very responsive. They helped bring my vision to life and were at the ready with helpful tips and suggestions. They created an incredibly beautiful and fresh look for the wedding that was modern and unique! They recommended all of my vendors (which were all excellent) and this decreased the time and stress of my wedding planning. I didn't have to research various photographers, DJ's, caterers, etc. because they gave me amazing choices from the very beginning. They were great on the actual wedding day as well! They didn't bother me with any questions or concerns but instead were constantly checking in with me to make sure my day was going well. I really cannot say enough nice things about Chelsea and Christy and you will not regret hiring them!
I should mention that these girls also styled and coordinated a pool party for me the next day (which was almost better than the wedding day)! They created a paradise for me and my guests the day after the wedding - it was the perfect day and I am so grateful to them.
Finally, I should mention that all of this was coordinated over a year while I lived in London. The girls worked seamlessly with the time zone differences! They did a SUPERB job navigating the time lags and I never felt like I was out of touch. -

The absolute BEST wedding decision I made was hiring Chelsea and Christy to make the day happen - I have been putting off writing this review because honestly, I don't think there are words to express how lucky I feel to have been able to work with them. From the very beginning, they just *got* me and my husband's vibe...I had a really difficult time expressing exactly what we wanted our wedding to look and feel like, but somehow they were able to translate it exactly BUT BETTER. They were able to turn my (admittedly very murky) set of ideas into this cohesive rad dream of a wedding. The invitations, the florals, the décor, everything was TOTALLY on point and it was all because of Hello Gem. And they are the coolest girls...I'm considering having another wedding just so I can hang with them more :)
A few more details:
- Christy and Chelsea were always super responsive and *always* answered any questions I had. More importantly for me, though, they made it so I rarely HAD any questions. They just knew exactly what needed to happen and when, and they thought of everything - seriously, things that would never have crossed my mind they had a plan for.
- In terms of value: I got way way way way more than I paid for.
- Have them do your flowers. And your invitations. And your coordinating. And your design. Just do it. -

These gals were amazing! They are super laid back and rolled with all the punches of our crazy venue. Nothing could get them rattled. Despite having a bride that was, at times, "over it" with the wedding planning, multiple locations, and last minute freezing temps to deal with; Chelsea and Christy didn't flinch. They made me feel like I could completely let go of the details and enjoy the day. We were in good hands. To top off their professionalism, they're super rad too! Guests/ family enjoyed interacting with them and they added to the fun of the day. -

Hiring Chelsea and Christy from Hello Gem was by far the best decision I made regarding my wedding. They handled day-of-coordination, floral & decor design and my save the dates and wedding invitations. The floral design and decor was absolutely FLAWLESS!! The save the dates and invitations were perfection too. The room literally took by breath away as we walked in. They made me feel secure and comfortable and that everything was wedding completely under control. I really was able to relax and enjoy every little moment of our wedding. Hire Hello Gem!!! -

It's really hard to put into words just how wonderful, talented, and creative the Hello Gem team is.
They completely read my mind throughout the entire year-long planning process, and brought my vision to life in a way that far exceeded what I thought my wedding could ever be - and I don't just mean in terms of decor. I'm referring to the entire vibe, aesthetic, and tone of the wedding. Everything came together as if the event were being staged for a magazine spread - absolute perfection.
And the best part?
I never had to worry or stress over a single thing.
I could completely sit back and trust that everything was being handled, carefully sourced, timed, and picked out/thought of with my taste in mind (my husband's budget concerns in mind!) as well as their own impeccable style imbued. And for someone like myself who, really, was never the kind of girl into planning weddings (nor had the time with my crazy work schedule), this was a real delight.
With unique, special touches throughout, and attention to details that I never would have thought of on my own, Hello Gem really and truly - and I mean this in the least corny way possible - created my "dream" pinterest-worthy wedding. These ladies are experts, and nothing but beauty and passion is the driving force behind everything that they do.
Trust me. Bring them on board. -

Working with Christy and Chelsea was a no brainer from the start! Their description completely resonated with what I envisioned for my big day, "Totally gorgeous but never stuffy. Fun & layered but always perfectly curated. Elegant, sparkly & finished but carefully handmade." As others have said, working with them is like working alongside your very organized and professional friends. They are creative geniuses who really embraced the challenge presented by my dream wedding and pulled of a day beyond belief. Getting married in the middle of a field among a citrus orchard with no access to running water or electricity? No problem? Wanting to have three separate outdoor locations on the property for the ceremony, happy hour and then reception? They were not only on board but they surpassed my expectations. I highly recommend using them for more services beyond planning, if possible! This ensured that my vision was cohesive and alleviated a lot of stress for me. Not only that but my invitations, decor and flowers were spot on, unique and continue to receive tons of compliments (Alongside gorgeous flowers, I had kumquats and an artichoke in my bouquet!). If you want to work with innovative, talented planners who are also nothing short of lovely humans, HelloGem is the way to go- these gals are on fire! -

We found Hello Gem Events after they designed our friends' wedding a couple of years ago. We loved their style and how all of their work was unique to each wedding. We wanted our design to be completely opposite from the "golf course wedding package" look and knew Chelsea and Christy would be the team to accomplish that for us.
We hired Hello Gem Events for florals and day-of-coordination. From the first time we contacted Chelsea and Christy, we received quick responses and positive vibes through the entire planning process. We described the style of our wedding and they worked off our likes and dislikes. We felt so relieved and confident knowing we did not need to be involved in any organizing or set-up on the day of our wedding, as Hello Gem Events was there the ENTIRE day.
When we arrived at our venue on our wedding day we were blown away by how beautiful everything was. They went above and beyond our expectations! I wish I would have had more time to take in all the small details they put into their floral work. My friends and family still talk about how amazing it looked. I would highly recommend hiring Hello Gem Events if you are looking for a detailed oriented, classy team with unique style. -

Our event was gorgeous - thanks to these gals. They bring an amazing eye for detail and design and create a cohesive vibe throughout all the elements they touch. My favorite things were invitation design and other printed products as well as the fabulous flower arrangements. We did most of our communicating via email and they were very responsive, friendly and easy to work with. -

Hiring Hello Gem was the easiest and best decision I made for my wedding. Christy and Chelsea are not only unbelievably sweet and patient (not to mention super rad, like let's be friends in real life awesome), but hard working, incredibly talented and ridiculously good at their jobs. Everyone at my wedding kept mentioning how I was the calmest bride they had ever seen, and that was because Christy and Chelsea took care of everything. From the beautiful invitations, to the gorgeous flowers and decor, everything they touched was golden. They have such insane taste that I let them pretty much do what they wanted for the decor and flowers and I was blown away with their work. I truly could not have imagined it any better. The entire night was not only drop dead gorgeous (several people told me it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever attended) but completely stress free. I will forever be grateful to Christy and Chelsea for making my wedding the best, most memorable night of my life. -

I am so obsessed with these ladies and their work! I found them on Pintrest and they have such an eye for beauty and I love their taste. I loved that they sent inspiration boards when we first started working together, it totally got me on board and let me in on their vision (it also helped my hone in on my vision). They were always super responsive and helpful and totally professional. My only regret is that we didn't use them for all the services they offer. Their work is insane. I hit the lottery with Hello gem -

Hello Gem were our wedding-planning fairy godmothers and helped us plan the blowout bash beyond our wildest dreams from start to finish. After the initial excitement of getting engaged, my husband and I were daunted by the task of planning a wedding (ie: we didn't even know where to begin). We decided that it was a worthwhile investment to hire a full-service event team (best decision!). We hoped to find a team that was creative, accessible and could both help us create a dreamy atmosphere as well as run the show on the big day. We met with several Los Angeles based event planners to no avail and then stumbled upon Hello Gem per a recommendation. From the moment we hopped on the phone for an initial chat I knew they were the perfect fit (slash so cool, want to be their friends in real life). Hello Gem was involved in every step - from picking our venue to designing our beautiful hand-painted invitations (I highly recommend them as invitation designers as well!), helping us curate our vendors/review contracts, coming up with innovative design details, dreamy floral design, and they made a killer instillation from scratch too. They were always quick to respond and showed genuine concern and pride in what they do. Even though my husband and I were hands on, let's be real - Hello Gem were the real brains behind the operation. Oh and they are EXPERTS at calming a little Momzilla action. Our friends and family were completely blown away by our magical wedding, as were my husband and myself. So grateful for the memories - I'd say we hit the event-planning jackpot. -

Gem we're amazing. They helped us plan our wedding in Joshua Tree from New Zealand. They are the nicest people and we're always quick to respond to any questions they had. Their flowers were perfect and many guests commented on how beautiful they were and their makeup and hair was fab too. I can't recommend GEM enough. They're amazing! -

Seriously, these HelloGem beauties are AMAZZZZING! They helped me put together the most dreamy Flamingo themed birthday party for my one year old baby girl. Not only did the girls help me with creative ideas for the party, but they did so much more! From invitations, a custom feather backdrop, to a flower crown for the birthday girl- Christy and Chelsea helped my dream become a reality. I bow down to those creative goddesses!! -

Hello Gem did an absolutely fantastic job coordinating and designing our wedding! It was everything we had hoped for. From the flowers, to the awesome invitations, to the table settings, to coordinating with rental companies and other vendors, to the day-of coordination... everything flowed perfectly and exceeded our expectations! We are still receiving compliments 2 months later on the beautiful wedding. Best day of our lives! -

The Hello Gem girls are party planning MUST! They are extremely talented in every aspect of throwing a successful bash! For my wedding they helped craft the entire decor and mood to the event, designed the most incredible invitations, prepared a timeline, lead all rehearsals and day-of events and designed the most gorgeous bouquets and succulent centerpieces. They were able to take what I was thinking in my mind and turn it into something more beautiful than I could have imagined. They have a hip yet classic style and weren't shy of my love for sparkles and glitter! I blew up and framed almost every design they created, and friends and family were begging for centerpieces to take home! Not only are they extremely creative but they are also super detail-oriented. I needed someone to run the day so I wasn't stressed and they exceeded any expectations I had! There were absolutely no problems and every time I turned around they were there making sure I was happy and good to go! The event was on time but they were flexible with any changing thoughts I had. And most importantly, they have such sweet and fun personalities. The first time I met with them to go over all the details I was immediately relieved as I knew it would be like planning with friends! I highly recommend them for any event or service you need. -

Christy and Chelsea were wonderful to work with! They had such great ideas, worked with us on our budget, and helped give our wedding a look and feel that fit our personalities perfectly. On the day of the wedding, I was so relieved to have them there taking care of everything; I loved knowing that I didn't have to worry about a thing! -

Christy and Chelsea are absolutely the best wedding creatives in the business! Hello Gem is truly a one stop shop for weddings!Hello Gem planned and organized every detail of our wedding from start to finish. They listened to what we wanted for our wedding and then gave us something so much greater than we could have ever imagined.
My advice to anyone who uses them: Let them do their magic! There were so many surprises on the day of my wedding. It was fun to experience the wedding just like everyone else. They did a number of beautiful handmade art installations in addition to the excellent print work they did for our wedding program, signage, and name cards. Also, their FLORALS are absolutely FIRST CLASS. I was so proud of the bouquet and our chuppah, knowing that it was the best flower arrangements I had ever seen including wedding magazines.
They are amazing people and have a great wealth of creative friends that they will use for your wedding. Our photographer and videographer were absolutely phenomenal. Check out the link for our wedding video.

Also, they planned and organized the entire wedding in less than 3 months! These gals are the coolest. If you want your wedding planning to be fun and not stressful use Hello Gem!

Our experience working with the Hello Gem ladies was priceless. We hired Hello Gem for day of wedding coordination and they were stellar! The ladies provided so much insight for planning and coordinating our 90 person wedding. They are on point with the details and making the event come to life. We are so thrilled with our wedding day and the environment that Hello Gem created for us! You girls rule!! -

Not only did Hello, Gem! do a wonderful job of coordinating our wedding, they also did our flower arrangements, make-up, and wedding video!
Wedding Coordination:
The attention to detail was outstanding. While having a specific vision for our wedding, we still allowed some creative freedom. Christy and Chelsea took the time to get to know us and provided special touches around our venue to make the theme flow perfectly. About an hour before the ceremony it was decided that holding the wedding outside wouldn't be possible due to rain. Luckily we had a contingency plan and it was executed so well, in such little time, that it looked as the though holding the wedding inside was the plan the whole time. Christy and Chelsea blended into the background yet were always at a metaphorical arms-length providing everything we needed at the moment we needed it.
Flower Arrangements:
Hello, Gem! provided the flower arrangements for both our rehearsal dinner and wedding. The arrangements were so beautiful that some of the guests decided to they wanted them and took the flowers home. What better compliment is there than that?!
Wedding Video:
Christy and Chelsea have formed a great team with their husbands, Chris and Forrest. Both Chris and Forrest captured the feeling and emotion of the wedding. Do yourself a favor and give them the creative freedom to make a wonderful wedding video. We received our video just a few days ago, probably have watched it a combined 40 times, and it so perfectly tells the story of the day. The editing was flawless, the music was perfect.
Make-up:
The make-up was great. The one thing that was perfect about doing coordination and make-up was they were available to do touch ups throughout the night.

From the moment I sat down with these two to plan my wedding, I knew I had chosen the right team. They just got it. They never missed a thing and were always there to make sure the stress of the big day wasn't too much. My wedding day was gorgeous and such a success because of these two. My floral arrangements were more beautiful than I could have imagined and the amazing backdrop they created for the wedding ceremony is something that people still mention. I am so lucky to have had Hello Gem behind the most amazing day of my life, it is a day that I will never forget. -

I honestly don't know what we would have done without Hello Gem....they seamlessly fixed every issue we had that day...we felt like we were their main priority approaching the big day even though we were sandwiched between two other weddings they had the weekend before and after...they provided excellent resources for us to purchase decorative items.....i strongly recommend them to anyone getting married... -

Chelsea and Christy of Hello, Gem! were my wedding saviors. They cut the stress in half, with quick and easy solutions to all my wedding questions. What I trusted them for was aesthetics and style that perfectly fell in line with our vision. Any decision about the look, feel or vibe of my wedding I left up to them, because this is their forte. With their support and approval I started on all the crafts that my DIY style event needed, and everything turned out more beautiful and truly more unique than I could have expected. Chelsea, designed my invitations (for the shower and wedding) and did all the floral design....DIVINE! It didn't take a lot of back and forth for her to really understand what I was after, she came up with the designs that met my expectations within our first conversation. Christy and Chelsea designed the look and layout of my wedding ceremony/reception (held at the same venue) and even took a trip out to the venue (hours away) a few months prior to brainstorm on everything from the arrangement of dining tables, to the perfect timing of sunset so the photos would turn out perfect. Christy did my makeup, which you can see in the photos here: http://www.martinfrancovielma.com/photography/blog/Entries/2012/11/17_EDSON_WEDDING.html
And just like Chelsea, she is a great communicator and was able to achieve the natural makeup I desired.
There was even a photobooth that they provided that all of our guests absolutely loved and it gave us a little taste of how much fun everyone had.
Overall, fantastic event that exceeding our expectations because of my fantastic wedding girls at Hello, Gem!

Hello Gem! made my wedding everything I ever dreamed of. I thought that I could plan my own wedding but quickly got in over my head. Once I contacted Christy and Chelsea they got back to me right away and were so excited to speak with me about my event.
Once I booked them for our florals, I quickly added event coordination as well. They took my overflow of wedding ideas and helped me narrow my vision to something cohesive and totally do-able/realistic.
They always put my mind at ease throughout the entire process. They immediately understood my vision and then took it to the next level and beyond. They are totally willing to work with your budget as well.
On the day of my wedding Christy and Chelsea were such a calming presence. I never once worried about a thing! Once I got to the venue and saw all of their work on the event and floral I was BLOWN AWAY. They had produced the wedding of our dreams and then some! I got about a million compliments from our guests. People loved the flowers so much that people were fighting over who got to take the centerpieces! :)
Anyone having an event should hire Hello Gem! -

My fiance calles Christy and Chelsea magicians, and they truly are. I spent months looking online for people to help coordinate my wedding the day-of and make decorations that fit our bohemian, desert vibe. When I saw the video on the HelloGem website I was obsessed and had to have them work with us. They were responsive, available, attentive, and don't just listen but actually hear you, no matter how nonsensical you are being at the time (as brides often tend to be whether we want to admit it or not). Our venue was a very unique and hollowed out art space, and they were basically the only people imaginative enough to see potential from the bare bones of it all as I did. I would go to them with these crazy ideas like "let's make clouds and suspend them from the ceiling" and they would just be like "okay!" and then do it better than I could have envisioned. Their positive and fun energy are infectious, and they bring such a playful and beautiful element to an otherwise at times stressful and overwhelming experience. I hired Chelsea and Christy because I didn't have time to micromanage anyone, and I knew that they would use their talents, vision, and creativity to do amazing things. The wedding honestly turned out more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. I have been to a ton of weddings, and I have never once known who coordinated the wedding, but I had so many people approaching me at mine to tell me how amazing the HelloGem girls were and how much they loved them, and one of my bridesmaids is even hiring them to do her wedding for next Spring. I would whole-heartedly recommend the to anyone seeking to have a fun-spirited, whimsical, beautiful, and unique wedding and am so grateful that they worked on mine!!! -

Unfortunately we had a truly terrible experience with these planners. Did very little work and had very few ideas - I had to create mood boards for them.They had no attention to detail - when I arrived at the venue early (they made me leave my hair and make up to bring them the final payment) I discovered they had forgotten to order high top tables for the cocktail hour, and they allowed our bartender to set up a full bar rather than just beer and wine and a specialty cocktail, which could have cost us $$$. Lack of professionalism was a big issue - they dressed very casually (assistant wore stretch pants), were difficult to find throughout the night, and they left before us at the end of the wedding, leaving my new husband and I to lock up and and missing most of our after party. They also misplaced several wedding cards, which were never found. For the amount of money we spent it was absolutely not worth it. -
