Thank You Gloria!!!!

If you are having a wedding on Whidbey, you need to book Whidbey Party Girls.
Gloria was FANTASTIC!!!! They managed everything in our wedding so gracefully (even a 1/3 mile parade to and from the ceremony site with a live band, a family style dinner and fully outdoor reception! It felt effortless and joyful because Gloria and her team had everything under control!)

We were originally on the fence about getting a wedding planner and we are so grateful we ended up working with Gloria!!! We didn’t know what we didn’t know! She was so helpful from the start, organizing us for equipment, decor and table scape rentals, keeping us on a schedule and helping us with the nuts and bolts of putting together a big event. But most importantly the week of Gloria was a lifesaver!!!! She helped us pivot to a tented dinner when wind was going to be too much for our original “long table” design. She helped us create a stress free plan for all contingencies which made us feel so much less worried about all the “what ifs” of planning a large outdoor wedding. The day of, Gloria and her team were amazing. The whole event felt effortless, streamlined and joyful (only possible with countless hours of work from Gloria and her team)! The entire place was set up beautifully and we had the time of our lives!! Thank you Whidbey Party Girls!!!

One-of-a-kind event planner

After our first conversation with Gloria, we decided to hire her to help plan our wedding. This was by far the best decision we made for our wedding. Gloria is highly organized, thoughtful, and capable in any task she’s given. Her experience and expertise in event planning shows through in everything she does. She was able to achieve our wants for the event with sensible solutions. Gloria is very professional and personable, and my spouse and I know that she puts her all into each event she does. Our guests even commented on how hardworking and dedicated Gloria and her team are! If we had to do it all over again, we’d work with Gloria again in a heartbeat. She truly is amazing and will go above and beyond to make any event an unforgettable, magical experience.

Best Wedding Coordinator of the Century!

I honestly must admit, without Gloria and Whidbey Party Girls I would not have had the wedding of my dreams. Gloria paid attention to every single detail when helping plan this wedding with me, and she hit the nail on the head with every single detail I specifically asked for. If I could give this business 100/10 I gladly would for making my most important day be absolutely perfect and magical. I highly recommend these women for Party planning your next event!!

3 Month Wedding.

We had 3 months to set up our destination wedding. We needed a wedding coordinator. We called up Gloria who took charge and developed a game plan for us. Gloria and her team really took care of us and made our wedding truly special. They created a schedule and kept people on time. They covered everything. I was really shocked with how much they helped. Gloria and her group went above and beyond. I 100% recommend using her and her team. Absolutely solid!!!!

Simply Amazing!

We were trying to plan a rehearsal dinner from afar and quickly realized that it was not going to be easy. Restaurants were not willing to block out a party of our size for the length of time we wanted so... that left us finding a venue, hiring a caterer, as well as an event planner. Based on reviews we quickly chose Whidbey Party Girls and are so thankful we did. Gloria took the reins and created a magical atmosphere for us. I sent her a pin and to our amazement it was recreated to a t. Gloria knew every t to cross and i to dot and left nothing unturned. She also went above and beyond to make sure our day was as stress free as possible. She was simply amazing.... we whole heartedly recommend Whidbey Party Girls!!!

I loved working with Gloria and her team. They were truly amazing from start to finish. Their attention to detail was like nothing I’ve ever seen before.

Everything I wanted!

I had a great experience working with Gloria at whidbey island party girls. She was always responsive, every single time I had a question or something extra I wanted to add. I wanted things done my way on my wedding day and she let me take control of all decisions and made everything run so smoothly, organized and it was perfection. She made sure my vision came to life. She was very knowledgeable and helpful when it came to certain things i didnt even think of. I couldn't have asked for a better day. I would recommend anyone looking for a wedding planner to use this service!

Whidbey Wedding dream = Reality!

Enlisting the help of WPG was the best decision we made in planning our Whidbey wedding.
Gloria is a force of nature! She found us the perfect private venue we never would have known about without her. She overcame obstacles and solved problems creatively. She was on top of every detail for the months leading up to the big day, and she worked tirelessly the weekend of the wedding to bring our vision together. Her direct and no nonsense communication style meant we knew when we asked an opinion that we would get an honest answer.
The relationships she has built over the years with venues and vendors are a huge advantage when planning a wedding on the island. She knows the ins and outs of the area and is proud of her community. All of this shows.
If you are looking for someone to take charge and get stuff done, and you want to sit back and just enjoy your day knowing someone else is worrying about the details, we can’t recommend Whidbey Party Girls enough.

Whidbey Party Girls helped up bring our vision to life way beyond our expectations. I did not think it was possible to have a perfect wedding, but we came pretty darn close. It was so dreamy and I had so much more fun than I thought I would. Working with them allowed me to relax my mind and just go with the flow. Thank you so much for everything!

Attention to detail made for a stress-free day!

Whidbey Party Girls thought of EVERYTHING! They got us the best rates on all our rentals, handedly dealt with some last minute venue issues, and made sure the day was exactly what we wanted. Gloria also has great relationships with other vendors, and she helped us find our photographer, DJ, hair & makeup, etc. all of whom were incredible. On our wedding day, I knew I didn't have to worry about a single thing - Gloria and her team took care of it all - we just had to show up and enjoy ourselves! If you're looking for a wedding planner who can flawlessly execute your vision, WPG will not disappoint.

Excellent and Personable Service

Thanking my lucky stars for coming across Whidbey Party Girls. I wanted a small private ceremony at a beautiful venue on Whidbey that would capture the beauty of the area we live in. Ms. Gloria Mickunas was able to do just that and so much more. She assured us we would be comfortable as well as our guest and exceeded all expectations helping us to stay on budget. If you need a planner she is the person for you!

Gloria was a dream to work with, and her team was beyond amazing the day of! This year was not an easy one to plan a wedding, but not only did Gloria make my sister's day so magical, but she also did it in short of 3 months. She has amazing connections and relationships with vendors, and she makes things happen! There is no task she can not handle. I can not recommend her enough for any major event you have coming up.

Exceptional

We were going through so many decisions about my daughter's wedding due to covid, Gloria came into our lives and helped us with making my daughter's dream for her wedding come to fruition. Even when we faced no electricity for the rehearsal dinner to having to change plans on the day of wedding, Gloria and her team handled everything and the day went smoothly and my daughter and her husband had their day to remember. Not only were Gloria and her team professional but most importantly, they shared their heart and showed so much care for all of us. Any bride looking for a wedding/event planner would never regret hiring Gloria and her team. They go over and beyond for the bride, Groom and family. Thank you Whidbey Party Girls and we cannot stop telling everyone about our experience and the memories of our wedding weekend and the beauty of it.

SO grateful we found Whidbey Party Girls!

I met with Gloria from WPG to get her help in planning our elopement ceremony & dinner for 13 of our family members. Since we're having a large reception in Vancouver, BC two days after our elopement, we did not require her full wedding planning services. However, after meeting her, I was sold by her expertise, ideas and energy & knew I wanted her help in making our elopement amazing. She offered to provide us with "vendor sourcing" and helped us find a place to hold our elopement ceremony, dinner, accommodations for us and our guests & our officiant. Gloria scoped out & budgeted approx 6 different locations & dinner scenarios and then she took us out to view the venues. We ended up falling in love with the first venue she showed us and didn't even want to look at others! Being from Whidbey Island, I thought finding a small, simple venue for an elopement & dinner in November would be easy, however, it was wasn't. Most ideas that I had were way, way over budget or they had contingencies we weren't on board with like having to bring in our own catering, servers, tables, linens, etc. Gloria exceeded my expectations & my only regret is not using her for our entire wedding! She has such an incredible eye, knows all of the right people & ins & outs to make any event a success and she really gives herself to your event 150%. I give her 5 stars all around. And while I did not have the pleasure of working with her team, I'm sure they are just as amazing as she is! If you want a dream wedding or special event, hire Whidbey Party Girls!

I have only glowing remarks about Gloria! She Made our event perfect. Never did we feel like she had lost site of our vision and goal. Always behaved with the utmost professionalism and integrity. I will always be grateful to her for making my daughter’s wedding the best day of my life. Her staff are obviously trained by her, which made us feel comfortable when she wasn’t with us. I only wish she lived in Seattle so we could use her more. Definitely an asset to Whidbey Island. I wish I could give more stars....

Step Father of the Bride / Officiate

When my step daughter got engaged last summer she knew immediately that they wanted to be married on Whidbey Island. My wife realized that there was no way to pull off what we all wanted without a wedding planner. The first and last wedding planner we interviewed was Whidbey Party Girls. We immediately felt like Gloria had our backs and would make it happen. She and her team are amazing. She held our hands ( patiently ) through many location scouts to find the perfect venues . Then helped us figure out every minute detail of the ceremony and reception while smiling the entire time.
I had moments during the planning process that I wondered what we were doing , but it ALL came together exactly as my step daughter visualized. I cannot thank Whidbey Party Girls enough for their help with this once in a lifetime event. It went off exactly as planned and we have some amazing memories to share for the rest of our lives.

Wedding Planner

We were a destination couple, so we really had to place our faith in Gloria. Our faith was not misplaced. Gloria will have your back 1,000%, work tirelessly for your event, while also keeping it real and not allow any unreasonable expectations take hold. Our wedding day was perfection; but she was the one to make it happen. She cracks whips on vendors and wedding guests alike, but all in the service of getting you exactly what you want. Five stars and all my recommendations to hire this woman and her company for full service wedding planning or day-of coordination.

You couldn't dream up this dream team

Gloria and her staff orchestrated our wedding so seamlessly you would think they were master artists with every stroke of an idea they came up with. What they put on was art and we merely lived in the beautiful moment that was crafted precisely for us. Imagine your dream team for a wedding and then scratch that off the list and contact Whidbey Party Girls because they will exceed your already high natured expectations.
We love their work and our wants and needs couldn't be more satisfied.

Awesome, creative, hardworking team!

Our wedding was quite unconventional. It was held in one of our farm barns complete with a combine parked in the corner. Gloria was so enthusiastic about working within the elements that we wanted. Gloria and Whidbey Party Girls have a commitment to sourcing products - food, beverages, flowers, photographers, supplies ... from Whidbey Island. The wedding with over 200 guests went so smoothly and much of the credit goes to Gloria and her team.

Out of all the terrible mistakes and decisions I had made, this was the best one so far. We found out that she was willing to work with us because she was willing to drive 3 hours to our venue site (due to my error) and it made me love her even more!. They made my life so easy, and they worked with our budget so well.Wedding day came and EVERYONE raved how PERFECT it was. Thanks WPG

Gloria and Whidbey Party Girls! made our wedding more than we could have ever hoped for. From the beginning with listening to our wants/thoughts til the very end with executing an amazing event. She was full of ideas and options about possible vendors and always giving us creative ideas to consider. Every detail—small and large—was thought of by them so that everything was seamless. She was able to provide us possible DJs, caterers, photographers, venues, photo booth rentals, even a local jeweler for our rings. Our concerns were listened to and even when our guest list exploded and we needed to change venues, we found support. The day of our wedding the staff was so helpful and caring and happy. Everything came together so perfect and amazing and our wedding would not have been anywhere near as perfect had we been left to our devices. I could not imagine having had it any other way without Gloria or Whidbey Party Girls to help us along the way.

Planning my mother's service was the hardest thing I've had to do. I was doing it on my own, mourning her death, and trying to make sure that it would turn out as beautiful as she was and make her proud. I was told about Gloria, and from the first meeting, I could finally breathe! She was calming, creative, and put me at ease immediately. I told her my budget, and she executed that perfectly, still coming in lower than I anticipated, while still making everything beautiful! She understood the emtional pain I was dealing with and was patient with me, and helped me execute some of the absurd ideas I wanted to do that may not have been realistic. She also helped me create ways to incorporate more of my mom, and guided me through what to expect at funerals and celebrations of life. When I forgot programs and started to worry if we could even have them, she had them already printed out and ready to go, capturing the essence of my mom. When we were having problems with the cemetery, she was on the phone, handled everything, and told me not to worry. She handled all the opinions, people with high maintence requests, and everything in between. I could breathe and enjoy the time with my family, and celebrate my mom the way she wanted it. She not only handled Saturday's events, but we had a small ceremony with dinner on Friday, and she handled all that as well. She was worth every penny and then some! I truly couldn't say enough!

Whidbey Party Girls! planned our 120 person, adult summer camp and wedding. Gloria and her team were extremely helpful in every aspect from planning, decorating, coordinating and even clean up. She's very experienced and knows her stuff, plus she has many small items for use so you save on rentals! Perhaps even more valuable when planning a wedding, she is VERY connected to every type of vendor you could want. She found our photographer, the rental company, two caterers, the venue, an artist to design our escort cards, our DJ and a ceremony guitarist, and probably many more vendors I'm not even recalling. She is also always listening out for ways to help save you money, and often connects you with her other clients who might be selling something you are looking for or knows how to execute some crazy plan you come up with because they'd done it before. She also did an impressive job of decorating our very ugly reception hall to the point where you couldn't even recognize it anymore and felt like you were in a club/lounge. When it comes to a wedding on Whidbey Island, I cannot imagine attempting one without the help of Gloria and Whidbey Party Girls!

Gloria was the best investment we made for our wedding. She was extremely professional, diligent, and personable. The wedding exceeded all of our expectations and she's solely responsible for that. If you are having a wedding on Whidbey Island, she is a must have!

Absolutely fabulous from start to finish! Your wedding will be exactly how you want it! Gloria and her team know the vendors, know what works and what doesn't, they love the creativity you might bring with your dreams and they make it happen!

Professional, kind, responsive, fun and most of all they get to know YOU! That makes all the difference!

Gloria provided the expertise I needed to have a successful Family Reunion lunch this August, 2017. She handled changes of dates, numbers of people, and myriad details professionally and effectively. The lunch itself went off without a hitch, and the 20+ family members enjoyed the casual yet elegant setting for the get-together. I would work with her again, and recommend her without reservation.

We met Gloria over a year ago when my now husband, my family and I were exploring the option of having a wedding at my parents’ house on Whidbey Island. We were a little unsure about the possibility of having a wedding there because of the amount of people that we were planning on inviting. We were also nervous about the being able to provide vendor with their needs including water, electricity, cooking space and etc. Glorias enthusiasm, driven personality and motivation to make it happen is what made us move forward with using her as our wedding planner and is what made it all possible.
The time and effort that she put into our wedding was amazing. She made us feel like we were her only clients even though her summer was full of weddings and other events every weekend. She responded right away with any questions or concerns that we had and always had a solution. She always had great ideas and always listened to our ideas and made them happen
On the day of the wedding she and her crew had everything so organized and put together that neither me or my family had to worry about anything. Because of Gloria my husband and I, my family and his family, and everyone else was able to enjoy our day and have fun celebrating together.
We had a vision of what our wedding day would be like and Whidbey Party Girls far exceeded that vision. Our wedding was beyond perfect to us and was the best day of our lives, we could not be more grateful for everything that they did.

Gloria Mickunas, with Whidbey Party Girls, was such a joy to work with for our July 2017 outdoor wedding for 180 guests. Two venues were created, one for the ceremony and one for the reception, with a rustic elegant theme. Gloria showed extensive experience with being two steps ahead at all times. She used local vendors, and had a very compentant, dependable, and professional team of assistants. Gloria worked tirelessly for days before and after the event, which included a rehearsal dinner, ceremony, reception, and Sunday brunch. Her emphasis for her clients is satisfying their desires within budget. She was creative with ideas of options to help keep within a budget, including allowing us to use items that she owns personally. We greatly appreciated her managing all aspects of our three day event so that we could enjoy time with our guests. During the many months that we worked with Gloria we felt like we were her only client, and that we were a priority to her. She was willing to meet with us as many times as we felt was necessary to work through details of our event. I would most certainly recommend Gloria as an event planner.

Gloria and her team did an Amazing job with our Whidbey wedding in July of 2017. The planning process lasted well over a year, and Gloria was on top of the ball from beginning to end. She provided us peace of mind leading into our bid day, knowing everything was under control and covered. She was VERY responsive - So much that we always felt as if we were her only client at the time. Thank you, Gloria for everything!

Whidbey Party Girls helped my daughters plan a massive surprise birthday party for me -- while my girls were 10,000 miles away in Africa. The result was: Amazing. Beautiful. Flawless. Overwhelming. Delicious.

Gloria and her team had huge smiles on their faces at my surprise and were clearly as invested in the result as the many guests. Whidbey Party Girls can and do handle any kind of event with style, poise, professionalism and heart.

I am very happy that I enlisted the services of Whidbey Party girls for my 60 person event recently. They helped ensure that my guests felt well cared for and took a lot of stress off of my shoulders and the rest of my family "team." Gloria's communication and her advice were excellent. Amanda and Kiara who managed the event were professional, responsive and very fast. They even washed all 60 of the plates at my request for the next morning's brunch because I didn't want to use disposables. We were all set for the next morning thanks to their quick and efficient work. They were also a delight to have around. I highly recommend Whidbey Party Girls for making sure your event goes smoothly and I will definitely use them again.

Whidbey Party Girls planned a surprise party for my mom in June 2017. I am based in Nigeria and was concerned about how we would be able to pull it off. Gloria was amazing! She understood the situation, was flexible to meet friends on my behalf, visit the site on her own, and even search the island for a dessert that fit my mom's dietary restriction! The event went off smoothly, everything was so carefully planned. I got to enjoy the event as a guest since Gloria did such a wonderful job! I would definitely work with WPG and highly recommend the company for all events including people planning destination weddings. Gloria is a great communicator and will send you pictures, updates, all you need to stay in the loop if you aren't local.

Loved Gloria and her staff, they worked hard for us in a very difficult situation from the start, (our fault not theirs). The only suggestion I have is that she needs to smile more, because she has a lovely smile and was "too serious" in a good way at our event. Couldn't have done it without her.

Although I am a local Whidbey Islander, Gloria of Whidbey Party Girls had insider knowledge that proved to make our son's island wedding beyond successful, blending East & West Coast, Italian and Norwegian cultures into a truly exceptional and fun fairy tale event for the first wedding in our family, welcoming our first daughter-in-law. From violinist, to caterer, to florist, very budget friendly and unique....taking the time to ensure this Mother-of-the Groom (who never expected to host a wedding!) and the Bride's wishes were both equally met. We had fun, the food was fabulous, the music wonderful, the ceremony delightful...the entire event memorable!

Gloria provided food service staffing and bartending for our daughters wedding. She also helped us find a wonderful caterer and provided coffee service. I contacted her only a month before the event to help bailout a situation that had become unmanageable. She was helpful, responsive and easy to work with. The day of our outdoor wedding we had a windstorm with power outages, downed trees, other delayed food and guests. Gloria was chipper, calm and flexible. Overall, she was extremely helpful and instrumental in the success of the wedding.

Gloria jumped in with day of staffing and set up for both my wedding and brunch the following day after the original person I had hired cancelled on me two weeks before the wedding. She was able to pull together an entire bar staff and all of the staff for the brunch and clean up and everything went off without a hitch. Thanks Gloria for stepping in and making what could have been a disaster into a perfect wedding day!

Gloria the owner of Whidbey party girls is the most efficient person I have ever met. She gets stuff done and does a excellent job at it. She made our wedding day all about us incorporating our hobbies and beliefs. She extracted the right information from us even when we didnt know what we wanted. She is extremely organized and has a excellent memory. Gloria is a really amazing good hearted woman and really cares about her bride and groom when planning a wedding. I could have never had such a perfect STRESS FREE wedding without her. Thank you Gloria for all you have done for us. We will remember you and the special day you gave us forever.

Gloria and the WPG team is absolutely first class. If you want to have your wedding on Whidbey Island, look no further. WPG is extremely well connected to key vendors on and off the island. They boast several amazing exclusive on island wedding venues (due to the trust venues have in their planning and execution).

No matter what the question or concern the WPG team was always extremely responsive and professional. They knew just how important this event was to us and made sure all the vendors we hired felt the same way. They took our wedding concepts and ideas and delivered flawlessly.

Most importantly they cared about my wife and I as people. They took the time to get to know us. They put their neck on the line for us. They did everything in their power to balance our preferences against our budget. They even helped us grow more flowers in their backyard for our centerpieces!

We had our dream wedding, in large part thanks to Gloria and WPG.

Look no further than WPG. You will not be disappointed.

Gloria Mickunas, aka Whidbey Party Girls, is THE pearl in a sea of oysters! I met Gloria once to ask her to arrange a wedding welcome party for 160 and a brunch 2 days later. The wedding was on Whidbey and I live in New Jersey. From flowers, to linens, to venue to entertainment, decorations and photographer, Gloria organized everything perfectly with up date & questions via e mail & phone. She even suggested a house to rent! We arrived for the party a year later and it was the highlight of the week. She is perfectly divine, I'm just sorry she's not in New Jersey!!!!!!!

We engaged Whidbey Party Girls! to help plan our daughters wedding. Gloria was a pleasure to work with. She gave amazing attention to every detail of our three day destination wedding weekend. Gloria provided great recommendations for all the various vendors needed to make the weekend very special for our guests. She was instrumental in insuring we received the best service possible from them and value for our money.
Gloria helped us create the perfect event for our location and budget, all the while keeping in mind the vision the Bride and Groom had for their day. We were thrilled with the way the whole weekend unfolded. Gloria and her staff work tirelessly to ensure everything was perfect and the way we had planned. They were also flexible enough to ensure every guest had a wonderful time.
We never would have been able to pull it off without her!

We had a great wedding and we owe a lot of it to Gloria's efforts. She came up with many creative ideas and she listened to our needs and concerns. She is a tireless worker. It was great for us on the day of the wedding, to be able to focus on our guests and our own experience- knowing that Gloria was overseeing the details behind the scenes. We should say that Gloria is no wall flower. She has a strong personality but this is a good attribute for her to possess since she made every effort to make the vision of our event become real. When one of our caterers showed up late and unprepared- something that was out of Gloria's control- she worked hard to correct the situation and then took the caterer to task for underperforming. We wouldn't have changed a thing.

Gloria Mickunas and her team at Whidbey Party Girls did a superior job of creating an environment for our memorable wedding/30th anniversary party. Gloria met with us a number of times prior to the event and made excellent creative suggestions on color scheme and party activities. We took a non-traditional approach to the wedding. Gloria respected our wishes and listened attentively to our needs taking great care in producing an event that was a success for us, our family and friends. She was very organized in setting up the hall and was on top of all the many details that needed to be tended to that day. Her working relationship with the caterer was seamless. Her knowledge of her business is tops. She anticipated our needs and even directed her staff to assist us with some critical tasks that we had fallen behind on. She is a can do person and her energy level amazed us. Her staff were hardworking, efficient, timely, and very friendly. We would not hesitate for a second to recommend her to anyone wishing to have a wonderful unforgettable party experience.

From the very first phone call, Gloria at Whidbey Party Girls was a pleasure to work with. Planning a wedding from 1200 miles away was made so much easier thanks to Gloria. We wanted to use local vendors and Gloria came through with flying colors; our photographer was fantastic; floral designer did amazingly beautiful work; cake was so good and so beautiful; catering was delicious and exactly what we wanted. And, the venue was absolutely perfect - thanks to Gloria and her persuasiveness about taking a look at it when I wasn't particularly interested. It turned out to be the perfect place for our wedding and reception. Gloria was amazing - she thought of everything and asked all the right questions. She was completely straight forward about everything and made me, a complete control freak, feel like everything was under control. She was extremely personable with all of our guests and help to take care of things for our kids, parents and out-of-town guests. I was able to relax and really enjoy my wedding. Hiring Gloria was the best thing we did to ensure a beautiful, perfect wedding.

We hired Whidbey Party Girls! to help with the execution of our wedding day, and were very pleased with Gloria's services. With her expertise we were able to really enjoy our day and our guests, without the added worries of how the timing and flow of the day would go. She was very organized and thorough and helped us with countless little details that we probably would never have even thought of. Having Gloria there to orchestrate everything was such a help, I can't imagine how we would have made it happen otherwise! If you're looking for someone to help make your special day less stressful and that much more special, Whidbey Party Girls! is the way to go!

Gloria (from Whidbey Party Girls) is a wonderful choice for a wedding planner. When my wife and I hired her we were both juggling the responsibilities of military deployments, and had little time to prepare for the wedding ourselves. Fortunately, with Gloria we didn't have to worry. She kept us informed about options for vendors, and ensured that our wedding preparation continued to proceed according to our timeline. Gloria's talents really showed during the day of the wedding - from decorating the church before hand, to guiding the flow of events - her attention to detail made the difference and ensured our guests were treated to a beautiful ceremony and fun reception. Gloria works extremely hard to give you the wedding you want, and I highly recommend her.

Gloria would be a wedding planner that I would recommend to any one! She worked tirelessly even after the event to make sure our special day was the most special it could be. We loved working with her. I have no idea how many hurtles she had to jump to make this day happened, because she would never say! That was the best sign of a wedding planner. Plus her vision of how to make the day special showed an artist eye! I call her the David Tutera of Whidbey Island,

Whidbey Party Girls! is simply the best. Gloria helped make our day memorable in the most amazing ways. We actually got to enjoy our own party. Every detail was handled and she planned the coolest surprises. Our guests felt very very welcomed and have not stopped complimenting us for having a ceremony and reception for the record books!

Addendum (4.17.14). A year later - and my, oh my how we appreciate Whidbey Party Girls even more! We have attended many weddings in the past year, so I have learned to appreciate what we really had. Gloria was in charge - orchestrated the event so it all seemed effortless. The behind the scenes, unobtrusive way she managed the event is SO appreciated (especially after watching others). Our guests still talk to us about how welcomed they felt at our wedding. Gloria took our ideas and made them twice as good.

Wow! Where to start? Gloria went above and beyond and provided us unparalled service. She is efficient, concise, quick to respond, and very creative. She was tremendously helpful during a very stressful time in our lives, and extremely flexible in doing what needed to be done in order to create an incredible wedding day for us as well as our families and friends. We ran into a few significant "snags" with a couple of vendors at the last minute on the day of the wedding. Gloria was on it and handled the issues seemlessly and creatively. She made sure all of our guests were well attended to until the issues were resolved. Gloria helped us create an ambiance for the wedding that suited our tastes and personalities perfectly. It was a very special, intimate and lovely evening. Everyone had a wonderful time. Without Gloria's talents, skills and invaluable contacts, we would not have had the beautiful day that we did. My husband and I cannot say enough wonderful things about her. If you plan on getting married on Whidbey Island, go no further. Hire Gloria, you'll be so glad you did!

If marrying my husband is the best decision I have ever made, hiring Gloria of Whidbey Party Girls! to be our day-of coordinator is a close second. Two weeks before our wedding, we realized we had serious issues with the day-of person we had hired over a year prior, who had become non-responsive and gone back on parts of our agreement. Enter: Gloria. I gave Whidbey Party Girls! a call to see if there was an assistant who might be available for our wedding date. Gloria moved some things around to take on our wedding, and we are so grateful that she did. From the first moment I talked with her on the phone, she was writing down everything I said, asking critical questions about things we hadn’t even thought about yet, and working on overdrive to find us wedding items we still needed (straw bales…). She did SO much more than just day-of: she was constantly in contact with us by email/text, did vendor confirmations the week of the wedding, went to our venue when the rental company was setting up tents, tables, and chairs, and as my husband puts it, “saved our asses” on many things. She handled the rehearsal and the entire wedding day from start to finish, and even got someone to come the next day to pick up all our garbage/recycling and dispose of it for a very low price – such a great help! Gloria was incredibly professional the whole time. When she and my hubs-to-be realized the morning of the wedding that two cases of wine had mysteriously disappeared, she managed to replace it lightning fast – and without me ever even knowing about the problem. We had tons of family and friends helping us with setup and teardown, but let me tell you, you need Gloria to manage everything, otherwise it will be a nightmare. We cannot recommend Gloria enough; in fact, my only regret in hiring her is that I didn’t do it earlier. If you are planning a wedding on Whidbey (or anywhere, for that matter), call Gloria now…really, now. Before you do anything else. Thanks for everything, Gloria!

Gloria was very helpful. She helped us with the timing of the wedding, planning and executing a brunch. Tips on where to buy things and dealing with vendors on the island. She facilitated the rentals and was hear at no charge to make sure they put the tent up in the right place. I enjoyed the brunch immensely as did all our guests and didn't have to do a thing!

They were WONDERFUL! Food was great, service from the bar was great, and they cleaned up and I felt all I had to do was eat drink and relax.

Gloria is amazing and was instrumental in helping us make our low-key wedding on Whidbey a success. She is creative and very cost-conscious, helping us make our week on the island with family and friends one that won't be forgotten. We'd recommend her excellent planning, follow up and grace under pressure to anyone looking for a planner.

Gloria at Whidbey Party Girls! did a great job in planning our wedding/reception as well as executing everything the day of the event. I was really impressed with her "whatever it takes" attitude and you can rest assured she will make your event go off smoothly. She was ultra responsive, reasonably priced and we couldn't be happier with the outcome of our event. Highly recommended!

Whidbey Party Girls been a wonderful resource assisting me with 5 or 6 parties in my home. From meeting with me to go over my plan, to suggesting menu items,and help with locating special foods or ingredients, owner Gloria has maintained a professional and yet personal presence. She has also prepared and provided some items, one time shopped for me. She and her staff have come into my home, helped with last minute details, kept things organized and flowing so we could be guests at our own parties. And leave the kitchen cleaner than when they arrived. Please call Whidbey Party Girls!

Working with Whidbey Party Girls! (aka, Gloria), was the best experience. Our wedding was held in Coupeville, WA, while we reside in Los Altos, CA, so it was absolutely wonderful to find Gloria and have her plan things for us. She listened to what our wishes were and planned our event to perfection. We were kept involved and provided options along the way, many of which we left to her descretion, and everything was perfect. My husband is a hard man to please and is still raving about what a wonderful, lovely day we had, thanks to WPG! I could go on and on about her services.....from day one, where we flew in for a tour of the area and her ideas were spot on from the beginning, solely based on telephone conversations.......she truly listened to our wishes and with her tremendous connections, was able to make every moment what we hoped it would be, including all of the "personal" touches we wanted for our guests. Thanks for the wonderful memories Gloria!!! We can't thank you enough! (our guests are still raving about the day too :-)

We loved working with Gloria. The relationships she has in the community really made a difference for us and saved us a lot of time and energy. The private home she found for our wedding was better than any place we would have found on our own. She was the mother I was I had.

I had the good fortune to come across this web site, Whidbey Party Girls and Gloria! What a blessing. I got in contact with her and she did the rest! It was a nice, elegant affair. Everything was fabulous and I would highly recommend her to everyone! When you get closer to your day and you can't remember what you have or haven't done, it is reassuring to know there is someone out there you can trust to make sure. I wouldn't hesitate to use Gloria and WPG again. The only reason to get married all over again, is to relive a perfect day. Thanks for making my day special!

Gloria truly made the difference in our wedding going well and it going great. She did whatever it took to make sure things went off without a hitch and worked hard to ensure that the groom and I were having a wonderful time. I can not recommend her enough! She was worth every penny.

Gloria was amazing! She went way overboard to insure that my event went off without a hitch. This meant last minute changes due to weather (which Gloria handled perfectly and calmly) and doing everything needed to make sure the vision I had for the event was realized. Highly recommend.

This was my first experience in event planning, with the help of Whidbey Party Girls!, I realized there are a lot more small details that need to be taken care of than I had originally thought. My event went smoothly, with the only small detail of the guests not having had pre-filled water glasses waiting for them on the tables. I probably should have discussed this prior to the event to ensure that it would have been done. The WPG!were efficient and professional.

We cannot say enough about Whidbey party girls! Gloria and her team helped us form a plan and guided us to what will be remembered as a wonderful day. All of our guests we’re so happy and comfortable. We had the best wedding ever!

We worked with Whidbey Party Girls for day of coordination for our wedding in August 2018 at Deception Pass State Park. Gloria and Brandi were great to work with. Very professional, polite, honest, and to the point. We really appreciated how they wanted to help us make our wedding exactly how we envisioned it, and both went above and beyond to do this. Brandi handled things beautifully when it started to rain in the middle of our ceremony. She checked in with us at just the right time to get guests under cover and umbrellas to the wedding party. We’re so glad we hired Whidbey Party Girls- we didn’t have to worry about a thing on our wedding day since they were taking care of all the details, which is exactly what we were looking for!

Gloria and her team went above and beyond, plain and simple. WPG gets it done. That should give anyone a huge piece of mind. She is very well established many of the vendors on Whidbey Island. Their experience will make any event on the island A+. Thank you so much for making our wedding a perfect event for our entire family :)

Gloria was our sanity keeper throughout the planning process - the wedding really wouldn't have happened without her! Her knowledge of highly-rated local vendors was hugely helpful and we were thrilled with all of her recommendations.
Her composure, positivity, and flexibility on the day of the wedding were fabulous. We had rain in the morning, but she knew how badly we wanted to get married outside - it's as if she negotiated with the weather to cooperate (I wouldn't be surprised!) rather than set up for the ceremony in the backup indoor location - the ceremony was dry and the clouds cleared for pictures, dinner, and dancing afterwards. I absolutely credit Gloria and her staff for making it all come together!
