About Velada Events

Velada Events

Lead Event Planner

I'm Geraldine & I have been planning events, both professionally and personally, for 8+ years and I am thrilled to finally offer my expertise to hosts & couples who want to make the journey memorable. I have an incredible eye for detail and I strive for our events to reflect our couples and their personality in the most memorable ways. I consider myself Type A and a professional over-thinker, allowing me to see your event from all angles, ensuring all factors are considered and that your event has the best logistical flow. I will ensure that your event is executed to the highest degree, following your vision & desires for the big day.

I am hard working and incredibly dedicated to ensuring our couples have the best experience. My greatest asset is my ability to stay organized, keep my couples grounded in the process, and produce an event planned with efficient logistics, but more importantly, with intentionality and purpose. Finally, I am able to create strong, long-lasting interpersonal relationships that will benefit our clients while producing this special day!

In three words: Confident, Organized, Resourceful

Description

This is for weddings of guest counts smaller than 50 people and we offer both full and partial planning, as well as our month-of-coordination, package at a lower rate for smaller weddings.

Our full planning package is the most comprehensive package to guarantee our couples will have a stress-free experience. With this package you can rest assured that those big ticket items are being cared for and that your event is being crafted to a precise level of detail.

This package is built for the hands-on couples that want to have a bit more help than the traditional coordination package. With this package, we work together to ensure your vision is being met to the highest degree.

Our Month-of-Coordination package is built for the couples who want full control of their wedding planning process but need someone to take the stress from them in the last stretch of wedding planning. This package begins services a month before and will ensure that your stunning event is executed to the highest degree.

    I used Velada for their hourly service and had a wonderful experience! Velada was instrumental in making our wedding in France a success. Their expert advice, attention to detail, and flexibility made the planning process so much smoother, and we couldn’t have done it without their guidance!

    Geraldine really went the extra mile bringing my dog Jax to the ceremony. She kept him calm, quiet, and very well cared for. Beyond that, she took the time to call me before the wedding to organize and understand my vision for the day and was very well organized. Highly recommend her for planning any event, weddings especially!

    Velada Events was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding. Gera, our lead planner, was organized, energetic, and decisive in executing our vision for the day. She kept everything running smoothly behind the scenes, only escalating things when absolutely necessary, allowing us to fully enjoy the celebration. Gera's keen attention to detail and understanding of our specific wishes resulted in a flawless event that exceeded our expectations. We give Velada Events and Gera our highest recommendation - do yourself a favor and book them, you won't regret it!
