Working with Gina was one of the best experiences in planning my wedding. The minute I knew that I had Gina in my corner, the stress of wedding planning just lifted right off my shoulders. She took care of all the last minute confirmations with vendors so that I could concentrate on being a bride. The day of wedding she was there from start to finish making sure that everything went exactly according to plan and schedule. I 100% feel that I could not have made it through my wedding day without her. Gina provided us with a level of trust, honesty and professionalism that is second to none. Through this process I have come to call her my friend and not just a wedding coordinator. I would recommend her to anyone I know who is getting married!

I highly recommend Details by Gina for ANY BRIDE planning a wedding!!! From the beginning, Gina walked me through the stages of planning and was giving me top notch advice every step of the way! I know she was incredibly busy, but still found a way to be very available and personable in spite of having many other weddings she was coordinating. When I had panic moments or over thought the many, MANY details involved, she helped simplify and break things down into smaller manageable chunks and just truly encouraged me when I was overwhelmed! I cannot say enough about how wonderful a wedding day it was! The morning started very early and was a bit crazy with the hair and makeup ladies, photographers, florist in my hotel room, and then arriving at the venue with trying to avoid the groom seeing me, but Gina made it all run so smoothly all the way up to the ceremony and truly made the wedding day a worry free joyful celebration!! If you choose Details by Gina you will have a truly memorable wedding experience!!:)

Words cannot explain how blessed we were to find Gina. Her passion is weddings and wedding planning. We had a short amount of time to plan our wedding. We got engaged on New Year’s 2011. We started planning February 2011. Due to a terminally ill family member (my grandfather), we set our wedding date for June 2011. We found Gina throughout reception site (The Swan Club). We met with her and explained our situation. While most people told us we were crazy to plan a wedding in 4 months, Gina did not blink as she took on our mission. She understood how important it was to have our wedding before our Grandfather passed away. The compassion and faith she displayed during our first meeting, helped to put my husband and I at ease. Gina quickly set up a game plan for us and connected us with the best vendors in Long Island. These were vendors that she worked with in the past and vendors that were familiar with our reception site. We were able to choose our wedding vendors from her list of contacts.Gina communicated with us through emails, conference calls, and a couple of in person meetings. She helped me find my wedding dress by sending me to a small boutique in Long Island (Iman Bridal Couture). We live in Brooklyn so we were not familiar with Long Island. Gina also gave me the idea for my bouquet (Flowers by Brian). It came out so beautiful. We ended up using the same photographer she used for her wedding and we were so happy (Bliss Productions). And of course, she helped us find our DJ (In the Mix). Gina helped us stay organized and on schedule with our planning. She helped tackle some of our “to do” items when we became overwhelmed. Gina worked well with my mother to organize details of the wedding by following up with vendors.Unfortunately my grandfather passed away in March 2001. When I felt like I did not have the emotional energy to continue wedding planning, Gina stepped in to help and encourage us as we took time to be with our family. My wedding day was perfect. Gina took extremely good care of me. She took good care of my guests and organized my vendors. The day went by without any real issues (as far as I know lol). I was happy and my family was very happy. People have told us over and over again that it was the best wedding they ever attended. Above all, Gina provided me with one of the greatest memories I had with my father. He passed away unexpectedly shortly after our wedding. It is important to have family events because tomorrow is never promised to anyone. Like I stated earlier, we were blessed to have Gina help us plan our wedding.

Let us tell you, Gina is the absolute best choice anyone could make when looking for a day of coordinator. With nearly all of our wedding guests being from out of town we needed someone to help us coordinate our day and put our minds at ease. Gina was professional and personable right from the very beginning. The day went better than we could have imagined! Not only was she amazing the day of the wedding but the meetings with her in preparation of the day really helped to plan and organize everything. By the wedding day we felt like we had a close friend helping us out. I can't imagine anyone else could do a better job, do yourself a favor and go see her!

Gina was absolutely amazing! She is extremely professional and a pleasure to work with. She makes you feel comfortable and puts your mind at ease, during the stressful planning. My wedding day was flawless, thanks to Gina! Nothing went wrong. Limos were on time, flowers were delivered, DJ was on time, and we were on time to the church, all thanks to her. I hired Gina to coordinate the day, but she met with me several times prior to the wedding. She went over everything, created a time line for the day and allayed any fears I may have had. She confirmed all my vendors and offered great advice. She works around your schedule, and is on top of everything! Gina is truly wonderful! An absolute sweetheart! She was more than a coordinator, she became a friend. My entire bridal party loved her and couldn't stop raving about her down to earth, awesome personality. I would recommend Gina to anyone 100%! You will not be disappointed!

I swear, my wedding day was perfect! Absolutely perfect! And it had everything to do with my Wedding Day Coordinator, Gina from Details By Gina. As a "Day Of" coordinator I only expected her to help me manage my wedding day only but from the start she offered her experience, her guidance and, many times, her time helping make those trivial decisions that often drive us so crazy during the wedding planning process. She was fun and easy going. I felt like I had an extra girlfriend to help deal with the craziest time of my life! Most brides don't have prior experience planning a wedding so it was great to have someone to talk to about all the vendor contracts, and decipher through what everything means. She also recommended my florists (Pedestals) and my music (In The Mix DJs) and together they were phenomenal! For all the guidance Gina provided, I felt I had really gotten a bargain even before the day of my wedding arrived. On my actual wedding day, I was blown away at how she was ten steps ahead of everyone making sure everything was just right. To be honest, maybe a million little things might have gone wrong that day but I'll never know it because she took care of everything. It's been one year since my wedding and I am still so grateful to have had Details By Gina create an absolutely perfect memory that I will cherish forever. Thanks Gina!

I was lucky enough to have Gina AND Nancy as my DOCs for my wedding! But they were so much more than DOCs. We met about 7 to 8 months before my wedding, and she wanted to know every single detail of my planning! She helped me sort through all of my vendor contracts, gave me tips as to where I should be spending and where I should be saving and so much more. Working with both her and Nancy as my wedding day got closer, they were able to help me finalize a timeline to follow for my day to ensure everything went smoothly and stress-free. And I must say, if there was anything that did not go according to plan, I certainly did not know about it. They made very sure that I was always happy and smiling all day, no matter what. Not only were they there as my DOCs, but I'm so happy they could make it to our wedding as our friends as well :) You guys did such an amazing job and Neal and I couldn't thank you enough!!!

I got married at the Queens County Farm Museum in Little Neck, NY in May 2010. I needed a coordinator to help with setting up and decorating. From the moment I spoke to Gina I felt comfortable with her and she knew exactly what I needed. I do not regret for a second hiring her and in fact, my reception would never have been the same without her. I think she is excellent at her job and I can not thank her enough!

Gina was amazing! The best investment I made for my wedding was procuring her coordination services for my wedding day! She is absolutely the best - not only did she save me a ton of money by helping me secure a videographer - she was instrumental in helping me navigate through alot of last minute stress and trauma in respect of my florist. Gina's professionalism, flexibility and responsiveness was the key -- I really don't know how I would have dealt with my florist troubles without her guidance - she truly saved the day! To all of the brides reading this - do yourself a favor and hire Gina -she is worth it!!

My wedding was on September 27, 2008. When I looked into a DOC, I wanted to find someone that I felt completely comfortable with. I also wanted to make sure she would be comfortable with my then 6 year old daughter. Well, Gina had every quality I was looking for and more. She ended up finding me my photographer, after having many issues with finding one. She helped me SO much the day of the wedding. I couldn't have imagined my day without her, and neither could my daughter. I didn't worry about a single thing!! I was able to just ENJOY my day. Honestly, I cannot say enough great things about her. Thanks Gina....

I would HIGHLY recommend Gina as a wedding coordinator. My husband and I went to see her for the first time and just knew that she was the one that we wanted to work with to make our day even more special. To us she was more than a wedding coordinator...she was more like a friend. She was friendly, professional, makes an awesome timeline, and stayed on TOP of her game with all of our vendors. On our special day, she was calm, organized, she was with us behind the scenes, but always there when we needed her on the frontline. All in all....GINA IS THE BEST!!!!! We were in great hands and we were very happy with the outcome of our special day.....A++++++++++++++++

Hiring Details by Gina as my wedding coordinator was the absolute best decision I could have ever made for my wedding. Alot of people have this perception that wedding planners are only for the wealthy bride with 500 guests at her wedding. That is simply not true!!! No matter who you are or how big your wedding is, it's YOUR day and you want to be able to enjoy it. On my wedding day, Gina handled all the money transactions such as paying the DJ, florist and photographer. She made sure that the DJ played the right songs at the right time and that the photographer took every photo on my wish list. Any problems that came up such as guests that needed seats or who showed up late and needed meals, Gina handled. Normally the vendors go to the bride and groom for answers on all these questions that come up during the day. Since I had Gina, I was able to mingle with my guests and enjoy my wedding day without the nuisance of interruptions. Even prior to the wedding, Gina helped me tie up loose ends and find last minute vendors for my wedding. I will be forever grateful to Gina for everything she did for me.
