SD Weddings By Gina

Probably the most important decision our daughter made was to hire Gina as the wedding planner. Not only is she an exceptional wedding planner she is fun to work with and has boundless energy. My daughter and I were able to enjoy the year long process of planning her wedding with a minimum of stress. I give Gina credit for helping me not to drive my daughter crazy. Thank you Gina for making our daughter’s wedding a beautiful and enjoyable experience for everyone.

Gina is honestly the best! I hired her for day of coordination for my wedding, and I’m so glad I did! She put together a timeline, talked to all the vendors, and was on top of everything. I didn’t have to stress about anything, I would highly recommend her to anyone having a wedding!

Gina was honestly one of (if not The) best choice we made throughout our year of wedding planning! We chose her «day of» service, although really you get way, way more than just day of. I emailed, talked to, and met with multiple wedding coordinators, but after meeting with Gina I knew she was the one! Super organized and detail-​oriented, calm and assuring (a MUST for when the process gets stressful!), super experienced and basically just the best ever. We even had multiple guests commenting on how «amazing» and «legit!» she was, particularly impressed by the detailed and comprehensive timeline she creates for you, your bridal party/​family and vendors (that she even sends out to everyone!). She truly is amazing at what she does.

Gina is THE BEST wedding coordinator I’ve ever seen (and I’ve been to too many weddings being in my 30s). She is easy to talk to, approachable, organized, thoughtful, thorough, and simply amazing. I only hired her as a Day-​of wedding planner, but I felt like she was with me throughout the whole process because we were able to communicate constantly and she was so prompt with her email replies. Also, she always had a smile on her which also made us enjoy the whole planning process because her positive attitude made us so excited for our special day. I would definitely recommend Gina to all of my friends who are or will be getting married soon.

Gina is the best! I am actually a vendor and as a Wedding DJ, there is nothing worse than working with an inexperienced coordinator who doesn’t know what’s going on. Gina clearly exemplifies the role of a coordinator. She is fun to work with, she gets things done, she is often seen going above & beyond to make sure the brides are happy. I have worked with others before where I basically had to take on the role of the coordinator because things were not being done on time or correctly. With Gina I never have to worry, she is easy to work with, flexible in a way that allows me to excel in my standards of being a DJ while still maintaining a good flow of events. I always look forward to weddings when Gina is the coordinator.

Gina was everything I could have asked for in a wedding planner. She has great suggestions and ideas but doesn’t push them on you. She listens and understands your vision. And probably most importantly, she is SO responsive. She even helped me wrangle other vendors who wouldn’t respond in a timely fashion.
Gina really helped my stress levels, she took charge of all the vendors to make sure they showed up on time and in the right place. She somehow managed to get our wedding party to do the same :) The day of my wedding went so smoothly, I didn’t worry about a single detail because I knew Gina had it taken care of. Everything was in its right place the way I wanted it. I couldn’t have been happier.
I got Gina through a friend recommendation and I would definitely recommend her to anyone who asks.

Gina was AMAZING for our December wedding! We needed all the help we could get because we were engaged just 3 months before. The 3 month planning time, for Gina, was no problem for her! She is super personable, and you immediately feel comfortable with her! On our wedding day, it was awesome, and comforting, for my husband and I, knowing Gina was there to coordinate getting people to the right places at the right time. We did not have to worry about doing that ourselves, or having a family member or friend doing that, on the big day! We were all able to relax and enjoy the day!!! Ahead of time, she also made sure she knew what we wanted, on the day of, so she could communicate with the vendors. Gina was a HUGE help with assisting us to find our awesome DJ, that kept the dance floor hopping the entire time, our florist, and our dessert vendor!!! Aside from our DJ speaker not working, for the speeches, OH, and the guy on the motorcycle blaring his music past our outdoor ceremony, which were not her fault, the wedding was a BLAST & we had no mishaps!!! THANKS GINA! WE HAD SUCH A GREAT TIME THANKS TO YOU, AND WISH WE COULD DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN, with your help of course! :) We would HIGHLY recommend you for others!!!

Gina is awesome. She delivered for my wedding, and took a lot of the stress off me. Having known how much work weddings take, I would have hired her for the month before the wedding! She really is a gem. Could not be happier with my experience with Gina. Highly recommend.

First off, if you are on the fence about whether or not to get a wedding coordinator, stop thinking and take the plunge. Second, if you are on the fence about who to hire, stop your search here and pick Gina! She is the best! We chose the «Month of Love» package so we were able to have a couple of meetings with her as well as have her take over coordinating all of the vendors the month of. It was a huge relief to be able to refer everyone to Gina during that month when they were all contacting us at the same time needing day-​of information. Gina was very enthusiastic and positive about our planning process. She was easy to get ahold of when I needed her and was always very quick to reply. What made me choose her above the others that I interviewed was how organized she was at our first meeting and by her asking about my family dynamic and if everyone got along on our initial phone meeting. Knowing that she was one step ahead of me and ready to help manage the sensitive relationships in my family was HUGE for us. My husband also can’t stop talking about how she was immediately standing by with a beer for him once family photos began.

Gina is the best! I started planning my wedding 1.5 years prior. As I got closer I realized, I’m going to need some help! I found Gina who was not only very reasonable but ON TOP OF IT!!! She was a lifesaver. She immediately put together a timeline, contacted all the vendors, and referred me to other vendors that I still needed (whom I went with and SO glad I did!). I would highly recommend Gina to anyone planning a wedding, she relieves all stress! It will be the best money you spend for your big day!

I proposed to my boyfriend on New Years Eve December 31, 2013. We had the pleasure of initially meeting with Gina Hundley in February 2014 to discuss our April 2015 rehearsal, marriage ceremony, and reception. We had 14 months to go at that point. Gina took the time to eloquently communicate what her services entailed; in addition to taking the time to respond to every one of our questions. Outside of ensuring that we felt comfortable with the services we expected to receive, we also needed to ensure her support as we are a same sex couple. Gina honestly conveyed that we would be her first same-​sex marriage and also put our fears at rest by conveying with that said, she would have our back 100%. In that same initial conversation, we knew we had found not only a successful and proven business woman but also a genuine soul. Gina made sure to be engaged, supportive, flexible, and patient with both of us throughout the entire process. She also understood, due to her vast experience, how to be adaptable to life changing events while ensuring to keep us on track for our beautiful day. We had both traditional and non-​traditional events planned which spanned across more than 15 specific vendors. Gina managed each and every one of them flawlessly. We were so pleased with her coordination efforts, poise, presence, and her ability to work with us, our families, our friends, our vendors, and our guests with 100% successful execution. We are so honored and privileged to have worked with her. She is worth every penny and then much more because she will make sure your day is PHENOMENAL. Thanks so much Gina! Herb & Eddie

This was my first wedding/​marriage, and I thought I could do everything myself. As I got to planning and booking vendors, I realized I needed a tad bit of help with the «day of» details. Gina is hands down the best and knows her stuff. I booked her for the «day of» and looking back on the day, I can’t imagine not having her. She met with me in person to go through details and helped me with the timeline for the weekend, which was a Godsend. Turns out I didn’t know as much as I thought :) My wedding day went totally as planned, which is what I hoped for. I’ve always heard that there will be mishaps during the wedding day/​weekend, but mine was pretty much flawless. Things went as planned and were on time. Gina and her team are so calm, cool and collected. I have absolutely no complaints or gripes about the service provided by Gina and her team. I could not have been happier with booking her.

Gina is amazing! I have nothing but good things to say about her! She helped me plan my fairytale wedding in August, and it was absolutely everything I dreamed of. She was very help for durning the meetings planning my big day. The day of she was on top of everything! My wedding day went so smoothly, she handled everything. My guest book never made it to the wedding but Gina saved the day by having the guest write on little notecards that we framed all together and it looks fantastic! I highly recommend Gina, she is the best of the best! Thank you so much Gina for all you did!!! Xoxo

As a busy wedding photographer, I’ve worked with many coordinators, and I am always pleasure and excited, whenever I get to work with Gina. She makes the day run smooth, on time with a lot of ease and class. It is always fun and professional with her. She is a wonderful coordinator.

Where do I Start, Gina is the best wedding planner ever. From the day we talked on the phone we connected and when i got to meet her, I felt comfortable with her. She is very trust worthy and easy to get along with. She helped me feel at ease planning my wedding on Oct 25, 2014. My family totally surprised her by adding a traditional African engagement a day before the wedding. Gina was professional and calm. She was able to work with me and my family to plan a three day wedding celebration. During my wedding. i was not stressed at all. Gina had everything handled. My days were smooth and it was the best ever. She kept us on time for the wedding and we enjoyed our day. My family and friends could not stop saying how great she was and is.
Gina was there to answer all questions for me and my family. She was prompt in getting back to us and efficient. She even kept me in check with my budget. Thank you Gina and your Staff. I can honestly say Gina’s services are top notch. I also ended this experience getting to know a great person and now I can say Friend.

Picking out a wedding planner was one of my very first to-do’s on my list, right after picking the venue and date, and my now-​husband and I still look at our choice as one of the best decisions we made in the entire planning process! We both live and work as doctors in Los Angeles, but were planning a wedding in San Diego, and Gina did the most amazing job working with our crazy schedules. We felt like we had an instant chemistry with Gina: she does a great job making you feel at ease and is so easy to talk to. She’s pleasant, collected, bubbly, and hyper-​efficient, which just worked so well with our personalities.
She helped us plan our wedding almost from the beginning, and was indispensable every step of the way. Every time we were ready to pick out a new vendor, whether it was the caterer, florist, or DJ, all we had to do was contact her (via email and text) and she would send a list of 3 – 4 vendors within a day. That REALLY helped cut down all the research my husband and I would have otherwise had to do, which was time we simply didn’t have. She had such great contacts that we trusted the choices she sent us.
Gina clearly has a lot of experience in planning weddings, and that fact really made itself apparent with each encounter– every little problem or question I had, whether it was big or little, had an answer that was completely do-​able and reasonable. She is reliable, super-​nice, and efficient. Our wedding really was best day we’ve ever had in our lives, and while that may have been the case whether or not we had a planner, Gina made the journey towards that day as easy and enjoyable as possible :)

Gina has a wealth of knowledge & experience in dealing with all wedding planning decisions, and the perfect temperament for helping stressed out brides to be. As the mother of the bride, I primarily worked with Gina to fulfill my daughter and her fiancé’s vision for their special day. She was always prompt and efficient in responding to our needs. Their wedding at the Bali Hai was magical. You will be in good hands if you choose Gina; we were always reassured by her confidence.

As both an event planner by trade and a bride, let me just say that Gina Hundley is an amazing wedding coordinator! I chose her for her rapid fire response to my initial inquiry for a Day of Wedding Coordinator for our April 5^th Beach/​Wine Bar wedding. We met twice prior to our big day and she blew me away with her professionalism, eagerness, positive attitude and tireless attention to detail.
She was quick to respond to any questions I had along the way, and handled all of the vendor pre– wedding communication the week of so I didn’t have to stress!
The big day went off flawlessly… inevitably something always goes wrong, but not on Gina’s watch! She’s a rock star and a true professional… one that I will gladly and highly recommend!
Thank you, Gina, for our dream wedding come true!

I love Gina! I wanted to be a do it yourself bride but I got overwhelmed and pressed for time. We interviewed two planners, Gina was the only one who have us tips and advice about staying in budget before she was even hired. She quickly figured out how to best suit our needs and saved us money in the end. She had all the hook ups and connections, she was organized and never made me feel like I was a crazy bride. Every idea I had we could do and if it couldn’t be done she had a counter idea that was just as great. All my questions it concerns were answered within 24hrs. Her schedule was very flexible. I would hire Gina again in an heartbeat and I’ve recommended her to friends. If Gina is still event planning in 10 years we get to do it all over again. I can’t wait!

I met with Gina at our dream venue (The Dana on Mission Bay). We were concerned about being able to afford the venue due to the minimums and were afraid we’d have to do a mid-​week or Sunday wedding. After our meeting Gina walked right into The Dana and negotiated the minimum for a Friday wedding down to the Sunday minimum price. She saved us $ 2,000 before we ever even booked her. She was so dynamic and engaging I couldn’t help but feel immediately at ease with her. Needless to say we booked her then and there. (Right after booking our date at the venue!).
I only paid for the «day-​of» services as we were working on a tight budget. Although I opted for the smallest package she offered Gina responded to every single question and concern either over email or phone immediately. I cannot tell you how comforting this was to a bride who was 1. graduating law school 2. studying for the bar and 3. taking the bar a week before her wedding! On top of quickly responding Gina gave me a TON of advice on everything from vendors to etiquette. She recommended every vendor I booked with the exception of one (who was actually the only vendor there was a small issue with). She gave me recommendations that were within my budget and each and every one blew me away. She ran my rehearsal like a pro, it was quick and efficient.
The day of my wedding Gina was able to be in a million places at once. She had an assistant with her but I really believe this superwoman could have done it all even if she didn’t. She put me at ease each time I got nervous about one thing or another. But by this point I was so confident in her that I wasn’t even concerned about the venue, setup, decorations, etc. The best part was she was such a quiet presence that you wouldn’t have known she was a wedding planner if you didn’t know it! She quietly ran the show with PERFECTION. There wasn’t one hiccup on my day, or if there was she never let me know. For that I will always be grateful. Countless people told me I had the most organized and well run wedding they’d ever been to. The entire evening flowed perfectly. Even AFTER the wedding she was immediately responsive when I had questions.
My ONLY regret is that we didn’t take a picture at the end of the night :-). I cannot thank Gina enough for making my wedding perfect!
