Gina was a dream to work with during our short 6-month wedding planning process. We envisioned a semi-destination wedding weekend extravaganza in beautiful Mendocino, CA with both ceremony and reception outdoors but at different venues. We immediately felt overwhelmed and decided to hire a planner to take some of the stress off.

Lucid Events wasn't the cheapest quote we received for wedding planning & day of coordination services, but Gina went above and beyond others right off the bat showing us she could deliver by immediately researching and getting us the right state park forms necessary to secure our ceremony venue and date - before we even officially decided to work with her!

Once the contract was signed, Gina was an excellent weekly brainstorming partner and advisor for everything wedding related - from putting together the planning timeline & tasks for all of us to invitation and decor ideas, napkin folds, ways to cut costs with florals, cake delivery advice, researching hard to find vendors and keeping me (the bride) from melting down!

During our actual wedding weekend, Gina made it so that I was able to really be present with my guests and actually enjoy my own wedding day instead of worrying about all the logistics, whether things were being set up correctly and if everything was on-time. She saved the day multiple times (from what I heard afterwards) when vendors arrived late, didn't bring certain contracted items and some setup items got mixed up between the ceremony & reception sites. She also personally saved this forgetful bride TWICE when I forgot my bouquet both right before I was supposed to walk down the aisle and again right before the bouquet toss.

I highly recommend Gina and Lucid Events for wedding planning and day-of-coordination services if you want to be able to relax and enjoy your big day. She was willing to flex to collaborate and take on as much or as little as I wanted her to during the design and planning phase and it was so easy to work with her even over VC. In addition, Gina is a lightning fast problem solver for any hiccups that might arise on the day of (and they inevitably will for any event no matter how well you plan & prepare).

All of our guests commented that it was the best wedding experience they had ever been a part of - couldn't have pulled it off without Gina!

Where do we begin!? Gina was absolutely incredible! She made each part of our wedding detailed, organized and fun! She was a great communicator as we planned our destination wedding. She was exceptional at remembering the small, but important, details. She took the heavy lift of communicating with each of our vendors beforehand, making sure they had everything they needed. She also made sure we were happy with every detail, and it's important to like everything; Gina made it easy for us to speak up if something was off. She helped us find additional needed vendors as we weren't as aware of all the options as we were from out of town, including looking into multiple locations for a rehearsal dinner She was also a fantastic hype girl, always bringing the energy. She curated a detailed day-of timeline and helped facilitate our dress rehearsal. With the provided decor, she set up all the decorations, tables, seating charts, florals, etc and took them down. There wasn't anything Gina couldn't do! She kept us on track throughout the day, made sure we were hydrated and happy. She was a critical part of ensuring our destination wedding was everything we wanted it to be; it wouldn't have been possible without her. Thank you, Gina!!!

A team of women that focus on the couple and help the vendors wherever they need. If the timeline adjusted or changed Gina would be sure we knew it and had enough time to get where we needed to go! Great teamwork!
