Wonderful Experience

We had the privilege of working with Events by GS for our wedding. They were incredibly professional and were attentive to our needs. They went above and beyond to provide us with all of the information and coordination that we needed to make our event go off without a hitch. They had detailed timelines and planning sheets that allowed us to hone in on items and tasks that we had never even thought of.

The day of the event our coordinator was on top of all aspects of our ceremony and reception. They handled the little unknown hiccups and helped us to have a smooth low stress wedding day. Overall we had a wonderful experience with Events by GS and would recommend them to anyone looking for a coordinator in the Bay Area.

Working with events by GS was a dream!

Working with Luciana was a dream. My husband and I chose Events by GS as our month-of-coordinator, as we decided to do as much of the planning as possible together. We weren't quite sure what to expect with a month-of-coordinator, but in retrospect, I can't imagine how we could've gone without Luciana!

Luciana was not only extremely knowledgeable and thorough in her planning--she was kind, funny, and overall a joy to work with. She handled the set-up effortlessly, kept us on schedule, and was a source of comfort throughout the whole process.

As someone who tends to get easily stressed out, planning a wedding was daunting. With Events by GS, the process became less stressful, and it was easy to trust Luciana every step of the way. We're so grateful for all the hard work and care that Luciana put into our wedding day, and so happy that Events by GS was such a big part of it!

Thank you, thank you, a million times.

Run don't walk to work with events by gs - 11/10 experience!

Working with Luciana & Masumi has been a D R E A M that made our wedding a magical reality. Where do we even start?

From the get-go, they were so friendly, warm, welcoming & so genuinely interested in hearing all our design ideas, hopes and dreams for our wedding. They even sent us the most thoughtful wedding planning present to kick-off the process! Every meeting or call we had for our planning sessions had us feeling less stressed for the big day and filled with so much more clarity around our next steps. They're both super organized and immediately provided us with a LOT of resources to help us plan effectively - budgeting sheets, master decor trackers, timeline templates, layouts for our venue, seating chart templates... you name it, they had it! And because of their experience and connections, they were SUPER helpful in giving recommendations whenever we needed... like where to have our after party, was a HUGE HIT!

What also stood in our experience was how involved and collaborative we could be throughout the planning process with them. This seems like a no-brainer comment, but for a couple that wanted to be SUPER involved in every aspect of the wedding, this was huge! And because they're just genuinely wonderful people to work with, they gave us the space and confidence to explore taking a unique twist with our wedding that made it feel unconventional yet authentic to us as a couple. We spent so much time reviewing every aspect of the wedding (timelines, decor, my extensive planning powerpoint) so that we would feel confident & well-prepped going into our wedding - this was a massive help!

In addition to all the virtual planning sessions, we were so fortunate to do in person walk-throughs at our venue with them (and some of our vendors) because we were all local. And soon enough it was a few days before our wedding and they led our ceremony rehearsal with our family so easily. With organization and precision, we watched as they walked everyone through the entire venue, timeline of the day, our wedding ceremony + processional and where to stand for speeches. We both have very lively families but Luciana and Masumi handled everything with ease which had everyone feeling so excited for the big day!

And on the day of the wedding? Words cannot truly describe how grateful we are to them for being there and ensuring our wedding went smoothly. And when I say there were no issues on the day of our wedding, THERE. WERE. NO. ISSUES. Luciana and Masumi were fantastic at navigating the beautiful chaos of the wedding and really took care of us and our guests. The best part? I mean, apart from all of it, they went above and beyond to turn our flower arrangements into bouquets for guests to take with them, they cleaned up EVERYTHING, brought our whole wedding vision to life (and so much more) AND even came to our after party to dance the night away. What's been so incredible about this experience with them is not only did we get to work with the most talented, compassionate and kind-hearted people, but we made lifelong friends through the process. We have so much gratitude for them both and everything they did for us at the wedding. To anyone who is looking for a wedding planner, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE consider working with Luciana and Masumi. They're incredible people to know and the best in the game.

Thank you both so much for making our dreams a reality and helping us have the time of our lives at our wedding. We love you!!!

Monica & Eli
