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!

I cannot say enough good things about Gina and the work that she does. Our wedding would not have been made possible without the incredible work that she did to help us make this happen! She is passionate and knowledgeable about the event planning industry and can make anything happen! I cannot recommend her enough for any event but especially for a wedding! She moved mountains for us and was with us every step of the way! Thank you for the bottom of my heart again! - The Scott’s

THANK GOODNESS FOR GINA. She saved my sanity with planning which allowed us to actually enjoy our INCREDIBLE wedding!!! wedding planners tend to be very expensive and some of them will only let you pick from their selected vendors, among other limiting rules. Not Gina!! She rolls with it! I feel like she really knows how to communicate and manage people....she is professional and personable, serious about work and fun to work with....she is solution oriented and creative...she is easily accessable....she advocates for her clients.....i just think she is fabulous. she offered a fair price for tremendous value. knowing what i know now, she should charge more!! then again, i would never have hired her/anyone if she did just because i was so intimidated by higher price points....so im personally really appreciative that she offered her services at the price point that she did. i highly highly highly recommend working with Gina! In an industry that can make you feel high and dry with your hard earned money to put together your well deserved saved-up-for wedding, she's got your back and you will be so appreciative for her. at least, that's my experience!
