  Amazing Style! Outanding Organization! Goes Above & Beyond!

  Gina Myers and the staff at La Cosa Bella Events are amazing and will help you create the day that you have always dreamed of! We booked La Cosa Bella events for a full planning package and not only does Gina have classy style and an eye for details but she is such a caring person. We did not make this easy for her and she did not skip a beat. We started about a year prior to our wedding date and throughout the year my mother fell at a wedding show at our venue which ended up in the ER, my father collapsed and left by ambulance at our rehearsal dinner. Gina’s care and concer was heartfelt and greatly appreciated. Due to unforeseen circumstances the vendor I hired for hair and makeup informed Gina the night before the wedding she was not going to be able to make it for the wedding! Gina was on it and a full staff was there in the morning that made my bridesmaids and I look and feel so beautiful and we had a BLAST! I had no idea until I showed up and Gina was so comfortable and confident in her backup plan it was easy to remain calm. She is a rock star! Our wedding day was GORGEOUS. She and the outstanding vendor team she put together made my dreams come true! Even after the wedding when she had fulfilled her commitment to us she helped out with some loose ends. Not many people would go above and beyond the way she did. So grateful for Gina and the staff

  La Cosa Bella Events's reply:

  Thank you so much Nicole for your wonderful review! We did have some challenges, but it was a truly amazing wedding day. We went from scared and worried the evening before to relieved and joyful on your wedding day. Your Mom was beautiful escorting you in and your sweet Dad was able to be there for a majority of the day. Your smile and happiness is what I'll remember most about the day. You were gorgeous and the weather was perfect for you and Seth. The Merrimon-Wynne staff and your vendor team truly worked to make this day perfect for you. I am so happy it came together just the way you wanted. You deserved it my friend.

  Better than the best!

  We booked Gina for event design and day of planning, and she was absolutely phenomenal! I over analyze everything, and she patiently worked with me as we carefully selected each and every detail. The end result was more specular than anything I could have imagined! My husband repeatedly praised Gina’s hard work and stated that she makes each couple feel like we are her only her only customer. Gina made our wedding day a breeze, and we got to spend time having fun with the wedding party rather than running around and setting things up. My only wish is that we had booked her earlier in the process so that we could have had her for full service planning!

  La Cosa Bella Events's reply:

  Kathleen, you are so kind and gracious and I wanted your day to be so much more than you could imagine. Your dream became my dream for you. The look on your faces when you entered your reception brought so much joy to my heart. You worked hard too, I'm so, so happy it was everything that you and Charlies wanted!

  Working with Gina Myers and La Cosa Bella Events was nothing short of a dream come true, and it was probably the best decision we made in our wedding

  I have tried to write this review so many times and continuously come up short because I just cannot find the words to properly do it justice. Working with Gina Myers and La Cosa Bella Events was nothing short of a dream come true, and it was probably the best decision we made in our wedding planning process.
  
  We got married in North Carolina, but we live out of state. We absolutely would not have been able to find all of our incredible vendors, take care of every last minute detail, and understand the intricacies of the local wedding business without Gina to guide us. Gina is so connected in the wedding business, and she hand selected every one of our vendors. When I think back to my wedding day, one of the first things that comes to mind is what an absolutely mind-blowing vendor team we had. Every detail of our wedding went perfectly, and this was no doubt due to each and every vendor that Gina connected us with. All of our vendors also commented extensively about how much they love Gina and love doing weddings with her. It was very clear to us that Gina has spent time cultivating great relationships in the wedding industry, and these relationships pay off in huge ways for her clients.
  
  Gina also has such an incredible ability to understand her clients’ vision and execute it flawlessly. Every time I talked to Gina about something I wanted for the wedding, I felt 100% at ease knowing that she fully understood what I was looking for. When I wasn’t sure of something I wanted, Gina had recommendations and suggestions lined up for me to choose from. As an example, I continuously think back to the fact that Gina hand selected all of our wedding table linens. We hadn’t even had a chance to discuss what I wanted (not that I even knew what I wanted to begin with), and we couldn’t be there in person since we lived out of state. Gina went to the appointment for us and selected everything herself. When she showed us what she picked, I was blown away. It was like she understood my vision better than I even did. We ultimately went with every single item Gina selected and didn’t change a thing.
  
  One of the things we appreciated most about Gina was her ability to find creative solutions to stay within our budget. We had very specific tastes and requests for what we wanted at our wedding, and we also had a pretty strict budget. However, we never felt like we had to compromise on anything we wanted because Gina always found a way to make it happen and stick within our budget. I never questioned whether it was “worth it” to hire a Wedding Planner, but for this reason alone, I am certain that it was.
  
  I also cannot finish this review without talking about Gina’s relationships with her clients. It sounds so inadequate to refer to Gina as my “Wedding Planner” because she is so much more than that. She is someone I came to view as a second-mom throughout the process, and I know she will be in our lives forever. My husband and I are both younger and live far away from most of our family and friends, so I really leaned on Gina throughout the process. Gina went above and beyond to get to know us on a personal level, check in with us when she knew we were stressed, and learn about our lives and our relationship. My parents commented extensively to me about how thankful they were that we had Gina to take care of us. My dad even personally thanked her in his wedding toast because he was just so blown away by her exquisite planning skills and the obvious way that she cared so deeply about us.
  
  My wedding was a complete fairy tale, and I couldn’t be more thankful. And while there are so many people that made it so perfect, Gina is absolutely at the top of the list.

  La Cosa Bella is a MUST HAVE in planning your wedding!

  We met Gina from La Cosa Bella Events about 10 months out from our wedding. We had picked a venue and received her name as a preferred vendor. I had done my research and knew that I wanted someone who would pay attention to all the details that showcase who my husband was, who I was and who we are together. Seeing Gina's Instagram I knew we had to meet. Gina was so quick to reply! We met her at a Starbucks and went over all the details of our wedding. We instantly clicked. So much so that I encouraged the contract be signed immediately!
  
  Gina is truly amazing at what she does. She has years of experience planning all sorts of get-togethers. Whether you are looking for someone to plan a birthday party, anniversary celebration or wedding, Gina is the go to person! She helped us pull together a classy yet country affair. We had 250 guests at our wedding with everything from a horse and carriage, popcorn, candles galore, sparkler exit and Fireworks! She truly knows how to throw a good time, leave a lasting impression and let the bride and groom go out with a BANG!
  
  I highly encourage you to choose Gina and her team. You not only get a wedding planner but a family friend. She will respond whatever hour to whatever request. She will dream up ideas and build comprise within a budget. She is your one stop shop for wedding planning! We could NOT have done it without her!

  Gina is the only planner you need to consider!

  Gina is a godsend.
  Our ceremony and reception were at my parents' home and Gina was absolutely incredible. The level of difficulty with planning a wedding in an unestablished venue is crazy! We had to have their backyard leveled, a stage built over the pool for the reception, and a million other things that, left to our own devices, would have totally failed. When I say my wedding day was perfect, I mean it was PERFECT. Every single vendor was top notch. I'd wake up some mornings with emails from Gina at 4am because she's a wedding planning machine who cares deeply for her clients (Gina if you're reading this, perhaps get some melatonin and give yourself some well-deserved rest!). When you give this woman a vision, she will not stop and will not compromise. Every detail is perfect. Personally, I don't think much about little details, so the concept of planning a wedding sounded miserable to me...and it would have been had we not had Gina. Her day-of team was amazing. To this day I do not know if anything went wrong. Things never go 100% according to plan, but Gina handles it so that you can have your perfect, stress-free day of celebration. Even more important than the bride getting to relax, my mom said the day was perfect and completely seamless. Parents of the bride deserve to be able to take the day in and enjoy every second without stressing--that to me is the most important and invaluable part of who Gina is and what she gives. I can't speak highly enough of her. It was the best day of my life and she made dreams come true I didn't even know I had. She has years of experience which sets her apart, so she knows what's possible and how to get it. You're dumb if you hire another wedding planner. If you've read this review and you still hire someone else, you're REALLY dumb. I love you Gina forever xoxo

  I had the pleasure of meeting Gina and Stephanie with La Cosa Bella Events back in 2016 at a styled photoshoot. I was so impressed with Gina's attention to detail and event design, I knew immediately I wanted to hire her for my own wedding. My husband and I decided we wanted a destination wedding and Gina spent countless hours finding the perfect location in Puerto Rico. Unfortunately due to damage from Hurricane Maria, the venue was completed destroyed. When I received the news from the property, Gina was already on the phone with our 2nd choice location confirming availability. She worked her magic and got us the same weekend at another beautiful property in the Bahamas! I had so much fun working with Gina on all the big and small details for the wedding. She tirelessly vetted all vendors, worked through the many unknowns of the island, and produced a truly unforgettable event for our families. Having Gina by my side throughout the wedding planning process was the best investment we made. I highly recommend La Cosa Bella Events. Gina is first class!

  My daughter just got married at the Carolina Inn. It was a fusion wedding celebrated for two days with a lengthy time line to include every ritual. GINA MEYERS our wedding planner made everything perfect. Gina is everything you could possibly want or need in a wedding planner. She is full of energy, ideas and has a great personality. She was easy to work with and always very organized and kept me on my toes. Month before the wedding I started to stress and Gina said "just let me handle it" and she did. I enjoyed every moment of the Indian wedding and American wedding. Gina made it possible to make the wedding celebration a dream come true. My daughter and I left our very first meeting with Gina feeling good and that we are in good hands. Gina was the best and she exceeded our expectations through the whole experience! Gina works very well with all vendors. You want something happen or done she will make sure it is done. We had a Barat Horse, Carriage, and even a Tar heel blue Cadillac. Gina is reasonable, professional, caring person. I can't say enough but a big THANK YOU for making it the best and a memorable weekend.

  For any bride searching for the perfect fit to understand, plan, organize and execute your dream day, you must look no further! I had Gina as my planner and I don't know where to begin to let the world know how absolutely wonderful she is. From our biggest wishes for our big day, all the way down to tiny little details, she had them covered and perfected. Gina truly cares about each and every bride that she works with and works around the clock to ensure that bride has her dream wedding. I know for a fact that my gorgeous dream wedding wouldn't have come to life without her. She took away SO much stress and provided us with organized options, a superb list of vendors that we were also greatly pleased with, and wouldn't allow choices to be made unless she knew without a doubt that we absolutly LOVED it! While the days leading up to the big day were carefully handled by Gina, when the big day finally came her staff were all just as wonderful as her! Professional, polite, and eager to get to work on all of our details to make our day perfect! It really hit me at the moment I was sitting at our sweetheart table with my husband, overlooking all of our family, friends and loved ones, surrounded by what seemed like a fairy tale, the day that I had dreamed of since I was little a girl had come true right before my eyes. I have Gina to thank for that and I'll forever be grateful. La Cosa Bella Events is the one stop shop to ensure your big day is everything you've ever dreamed of, trust me.

  I worked with Stephanie as my "month-of" coordinator and could not have been happier. She had so many helpful tips and ideas (one reason being that she is also a wedding photographer, she has a great eye for things!) When our Rain Plan had to be put into place, she was an absolute life-saver -- I could not have done it without her! She provided day-of timelines to our wedding party and parents, and was at our venue all afternoon and evening (until the end of the reception) making sure everything went perfectly, and it did. One of the pieces of advice I received just after getting engaged was "Get yourself a wedding planner!" and the people who told me that were not wrong. Stephanie truly put me at ease and took so many last-minute items off my plate that would've been such a hassle to deal with myself. I was able to relax and enjoy the day because I knew she was taking care of everything. You won't be disappointed! Highly recommend.

  My daughter and I knew the minute we met Gina and Stephanie at the Carolina Inn bridal showcase, that La Cosa Bella Events was the team for us!! With Gina's infectious smile, high energy and enthusiasm we could see and feel her passion for planning!! An extra bonus was her stunning table scape that perfectly matched our vision! From day one La Cosa Bella was extremely organized, constantly communicating with us via emails, texts and phone calls working to set our goals and visions for our day! Throughout the process Gina was very creative, constantly suggesting ideas and special touches that would set us apart from any other weddings held at the Inn. Gina was ON IT and did an amazing job representing us with all contacts and vendors!! The day of she was our ROCK!!!! She had our backs the ENTIRE time making things happen when some didn't seem possible!! As a mom I can't thank Gina enough for holding others accountable for what was promised and seeing it through!! She handled matters as though it was her own daughter's day and made my daughter one happy bride!!! We feel so thankful and blessed to have had the opportunity to work with Gina and her staff!!! Finally, I have to say choosing Gina at La Cosa Bella events was one of the best decisions we've ever made!

  Gina + La Cosa Bella made our dreams come true!

  Gina was amazing. I don't really know where to even begin to express what an incredible job she did bringing our dreams to life. We had some abstract ideas when we started working with Gina - we knew we wanted our wedding to be colorful, fun, and still feel romantic. She took that and made it happen. She connected us to the most amazing vendors, and helped them understand what our vision was to make sure everything came together cohesively on our day. Gina is a task master, excellent communicator, and has an incredible eye for design. She's also great with parents! This was really important to me, and both our mothers just adored her and her team.
  
  I cannot express what an amazing experience Chris, myself, and our families were able to have on our wedding day, and I absolutely attribute that to Gina. The only emotion we felt all day was JOY for the marriage we were about to enter into. There was no stress. Maybe things went wrong behind the scenes, but we didn't hear about them and never noticed anything not going perfectly according to plan. I wish that experience for every single couple because we will forever look back on our wedding day and remember the joy we felt for each other, and the love that surrounded us from all our family and friends. I will be recommending La Cosa Bella to all of my newly engaged friends!

  I would only say to use Gina from day 1. Get engaged, call Gina. My son and daughter in law really valued working with Gina. I think they found it hard to be honest with me, but they could be completely honest with Gina. She worked to mediate any differences in opinion, and she was very good at quickly assessing their tastes and making appropriate recommendations. Weddings are stressful, and Gina's always sunny and helpful demeanor made her such a comforting presence when things weren't going well. She was invaluable in helping to locate all the different vendors needed -- catering, venue, cake baker, soloist, DJ, photographer, makeup artist, transportation. Unless you're in the event planning business, you just don't know who to turn to for those different and varied needs. My favorite example of her helpfulness was the day that I had a major fall out with the reception venue. I ended up having to cancel the contract. She jumped on the phone immediately and got me an appointment with another venue within an hour. All of this just a month before the wedding! I can't say enough good things. Book her!

  If you want a wedding planner who exceeds even the pickiest bride's expectations, then look no further. Gina and her staff are AMAZING! My husband and I worked with Gina for almost a year and she went above and beyond on many occasions. We were building a new house and we each had new jobs in addition to planning a wedding and we couldn't have done the wedding planning without Gina. She was literally there for us 24/7. We were very particular clients with a specific vision for our wedding and Gina brought that vision to life in a way that exceeded our expectations, which is difficult to do. It was more gorgeous than I could've ever imagined. The day also went flawlessly. Gina is very organized and she and her staff made it so that we didn't have to worry about or do anything the day of except have fun, which we did. It was a spectacular day that I'm sad is over, but I have many wonderful memories that will last a lifetime thanks to Gina. Gina, we love you! See a few pics here - http://tinyurl.com/nkzbklk

  Five stars isn't nearly enough. Gina at La Cosa Bella is beyond amazing! I had less involvement than my wife naturally, but I still felt compelled to write a review. We all worked together for the better part of a year putting together a wedding that was simply spectacular. She saved our sanity (or at least mine) on more than one occasion and exceeded our expectations in every way imaginable. Every detail was planned meticulously and the team executed to perfection. Beyond that, Gina is a genuine pleasure to be around and work with. If you're looking for the best event planner Raleigh has to offer, look no further; Gina and the rest of the staff at La Cosa Bella are phenomenal, and we couldn't have done it with out them!

  Gina was a pleasure to work with. As the Father of the Bride, I let my Wife and Daughter do the planning. Gina wanted us to see the newly redesigned venue at Rose Hill Plantation prior to the Reception. We walked into the Reception and I was Speechless. My family and friends were getting ready to have an experience of a lifetime and it is all thanks to her Vision, Passion and Creativity. I will never forget Gina Myers, she created a Memorable and Stunning event and one of the happiest days on my families lives.

  I had the pleasure of working with Gina Myers of La Cosa Bella Events who helped me plan my June 2015 wedding at Rose Hill Plantation in Nashville, NC. Gina is upbeat, positive, organized, very professional, and well-connected in the bridal/event planning industry, particularly in the Triangle area. She strives for excellence and won't settle for anything less than fabulous for her Brides. She is an excellent communicator with all involved--from parents, to the groom, and to all vendors. She was with me every step of the way, if not a step ahead, and made my planning process smooth and fun and my wedding day effortless. Gina Myers is worth her weight in gold. Highly recommended!

  Gina did a beautiful job creating an elegant Art Deco look for my daughter's reception at The Grand Ballroom in the Historic Capital Club Building in downtown Raleigh. It was even more beautiful than I expected! Her contacts with vendors were invaluable, from flowers to photography to decor to catering and beer/wine, she connected us with all the right people to make the wedding a beautiful and memorable event! Thanks, Gina. We couldn't have done it without you!

  Gina was a visionary who worked hard always to make my daughter's wedding the best it could be. She steered us to reliable vendors, gave us excellent advice and kept us as close to budget as possible, always consulting with us if a change was made. She was positive and kind and always smiling. We were all impressed with the results. This wedding far surpassed my expectations.

  Gina Myers, President of La Cosa Bella Events, was a pleasure to work with! Gina assisted in every phase of our wedding planning as well as provided excellent day of coordination. Gina truly went above and beyond and treated us with love and compassion. Gina was juggling many clients, yet made us feel that our event was unique and her absolute top priority. We consulted with numerous wedding planners before electing to proceed with Gina. We will never regret our decision and feel that we have gained a friend for life!

  Gina (President and Lead Designer at La Cosa Bella Events) was absolutely wonderful to work with. This review is for coordinating and planning for our Rehearsal Dinner the night before our wedding. Not only was she able to coordinate an amazing event, but she was also able to keep our budget under control. The food and vendors she helped us choose were fabulous choices. She was professional, kind, and had great advice and guidance. She was able to orchestrate the Rehearsal Dinner perfectly, despite having our entire Wedding and Reception to coordinate/plan the next day. Thank you, Gina!

  From the very first meeting, we clicked with Gina. When you spend time with Gina, you know that she loves weddings and her brides. She is a great listener and spent time getting to know my daughter and her style (which was developing as we went a long). She worked diligently to take my daughter’s ideas, likes and dislikes and create a total vision for the wedding and reception.
  
  Her guidance in selecting the venue and vendors was invaluable. She went to all our appointments with us, asked questions that we would never have thought to ask and after the appointment, we discussed how it would fit with our vision and budget. She worked up comparisons to help us make the best decisions and always kept an eye on the budget.
  
  She helped us stay on track to ensure everything was done on a timely basis and there was no time crunch as the wedding date got closer – her timeline is a work of art! She ensured there were no loose ends, the vendors knew where to be, when, what to do and what to say.
  
  My daughter has said her wedding day was perfect and wants to do it all over again! And I thank Gina for that.
  
  Lastly, Gina met my husband’s one criteria - to ensure I, the Mother of the Bride, had nothing to worry about on the wedding day so I could enjoy it, too. Mission Accomplished!

  Gina put together the first of it's kind fundraising event for our charity. The Triangle Charity Polo Classic. www.trianglecharitypoloclassic.com. With 3 months notice she whipped it up and we had over 1500 people in attendance and raised nearly $50,000 for our charity. This event will surely become an annual classic event for the area and beyond. We could not have done this without Gina, and her amazing connections in the event community.
