Question 1

How many weddings have you planned, and what are they like? Any specialties?

Accepted Answer

I (Gisela) have planned over 100 weddings + many other smaller events over the years from the day I started as my own entity until now. Prior to Gisela Nadine Events & Design, I was a lead coordinator for another planner in Los Angeles. Each wedding has a unique story but our goal is to create experiences celebrating people. YOU are the main event and we reflect that in every experience we curate. Our goal is always that your guests walk into the wedding and see YOU and YOUR love story - not just any other wedding. Every couple is different and it's important your special day reflects that.

Question 2

Who will we be working with? How many associates are on your wedding day team?

Accepted Answer

I am the lead planner and designer for every wedding and I only take on one wedding per week/weekend, with a max of 24 weddings per year (average of 2 per month). This allows me to give my attention to each client at the level they need and expect, and not overwork myself at the same time. Our wedding day team consists of 2-3 associates for most weddings however additional associates are always available should we feel necessary. My associate coordinators have all worked with me for several years and are very familiar with the style of planning (and coordinating) that we operate under. Loyalty is big for me and my team!

Question 3

How much time should we expect to spend with you?

Accepted Answer

This completely varies from couple to couple. For some of our full-service clients, we chat every single day whether via text, call, email, or in-person meetings. Alternatively, especially in between planning phases when we can all take a breather for a period of time, it may be a couple weeks until we touch base - and that's okay! The amount of time we spend together can also heavily depend on the level of production we're working with for your wedding. Custom builds, private estates or blank canvas venues will take extra time compared to a hotel or event venue that provides so much in-house.

Question 4

Do you take on multiple weddings in a day or weekend?

Accepted Answer

Never! We only take on one wedding per weekend, or per week (sometimes we have weekday weddings!). Unless it's due to a rescheduled event already under contract, we will NOT take on any other events the same week or weekend as your wedding. This allows us to fully focus on all our clients and ensure we're fully available to you on the week of your wedding. We also limit the number of weddings we take on to 24 max each year.
