About GEM Events

GEM Events

Head Coordinator

My name is Tonimari Gemeniano and people are my passion. I've always loved planning events, weddings being my favorite. I am very fulfilled at helping others through the planning process, especially in alleviating the stresses of planning. Even more so, I am driven to ensure the vision they have for one of the most important days of their lives, comes into fruition. It is always an honor, privilege, and joy to be a part of your wedding day!

What makes me different from other planners? I will treat your wedding as if it were my own. It is my goal to bring your vision to life and to be by your side every step of the way. I also aim to build a healthy relationship with my clients based on trust, and compatibility. I want all my clients to feel confident in the hands of GEM Events.

Toni absolutely exceeded our expectations! There is not a single thing we would change about our experience working with her. For every planning meeting and correspondence, she was punctual, prepared, professional, and an absolute joy to work with. Because of her detailed planning and coordination, we both felt stress-free and every moment of our wedding day was absolutely perfect! We want to thank you so much again for everything you did for our wedding! We know for sure it wouldn't have turned out to be as perfect as it did without your help! Michelle & Zylo
Thank You Gem Events

"It was a pleasure working with Toni! She is such a sweetheart and treated me like a friend. She went above and beyond what I was looking for. Toni was very organized and had a lot of different ideas and suggestions to fill the missing pieces when I felt lost. At the start of my wedding planning process, I was very overwhelmed but Toni’s monthly meetings made things run smoothly. Toni went beyond my expectations of my vision board for my decorations. She took note of all the little details that I wanted. My wedding turned out just as I imagined it and went very smoothly thanks to Toni. Also on top of what Toni did, she did an amazing job while being pregnant. Thank you so much to Toni and her team." -Kathy

I have been officially planning weddings under the business since November of 2022. Prior to this, I have assisted in weddings, and do a lot of planning for other events as well. I got into wedding planning because I truly fell in love with the process of seeing al the hard work come into fruition. I am also so for my clients and love being able to support in any way I can to make the process of planning fun and positive to remember!

You 100% will have control of what YOU want for your wedding. We are here to work for you, and always in your best interest. Every couple is different. Some are more hands on, some are hands off, but that is why we communicate to know what it is YOU want. Of course, there may be requests that have restrictions or may be unrealistic, so we are here to also give you advice and guidance to bring the best results out of your event.

We love to plan for you and all your events leading up to the wedding date. Let us know where you need assistance, and a quote will be catered specifically to you.

Time spent with my couples vary depending on the couples needs and wants. We consistently keep open communication, and are available to address any concerns you need with a timely response.
