“Gina was wonderful to work with and so instrumental in making our wedding absolutely perfect! I asked the women who run our venue (Gather Greene) to recommend a planner who was calm and positive. Ive been in a million weddings where the planners are yelling at everyone and I knew I didn’t want that. They pointed us to Gina, who was the perfect fit. She has so much knowledge and incredible taste. Not only did she run our wedding without a hitch and make it look gorgeous, but your planner is someone who will be around during intimate moments on a really emotional day. And we loved having Gina around to guide me and my family.” – Kelsey M.

“Gina is a superstar planner that made our complicated jewish wedding (that also included a real falcon ring bearer?!) go off without a hitch! She masterfully and gracefully covered every detail, found us an amazing venue and all the best vendors, and coordinated all of these details so smoothly. On top of this she was always a pleasure to work with and seemed so relaxed under pressure. I cannot recommend Gina highly enough!! We would 10/10 work with her again.” – Alex B.

“Gina made our wedding day feel smooth, love-filled, calm, and so much fun. We got married in Vermont this past summer with 80 of our loved ones. Gina helped us plan this amazing day from start to finish. Every detail was impeccable and made the ambiance of the day special. Gina created a thoughtful schedule and set up the space in a way that kept our guests moving and entertained. She connected us with amazing vendors who brought our wedding to life and coordinated their disparate efforts such that the wedding day itself was effortless for us. Countless people told us it was the best wedding they had ever been to! We are so grateful for her and would recommend her vision, enthusiasm, and reliability.” – Katie I.

“Gina is the best!! We are so happy we made the decision to work with her. Gina is an expert at what she does– she has an incredible eye, is generous with her time and guidance, and connected us to some of the best vendors in the Hudson Valley. But more than that, her kindness and sense of calm make her so wonderful to work with (our vendors went out of their way to let us know that, too!). Our day was beautiful beyond what we could have imagined + went off without a hitch– and if there were any snafus (which of course there were– it’s a wedding, after all) we had no idea about any of it :) 10 stars for Gina <3” – Naomi M.

“Gina was an absolute pleasure to work with! I was the photographer for the wedding we worked at together and came in from out of state. She was so welcoming and made sure to communicate some important map details in finding the venue. She was well loved by the couple, the staff at Beaverkill Valley Inn and you could tell she is well respected in the Catskill wedding industry. She was kind, thoughtful and accommodating and I truly hope our paths cross again!” – Jenny K.

“My husband and I loved working with Gina! She is kind, friendly and very easy to get along with. She was recommended to us by our venue in Livingston Manor, NY. She helped us choose our other vendors – the florist, DJ, tent rentals and hair & makeup by providing excellent choices for us to choose from. She made sure our wedding went off without a hitch and she went above & beyond to take care of all the day-of details so we could enjoy the weekend! She was very understanding and gave great advice when I needed it too.” – Leah C.

“I talked to six wedding planners before hiring Gina in Jan, 2022. Her venue suggestions were the best interpretation of our vision and while it has been a notoriously difficult wedding season in 2022 in terms of vendor/venue availability given 2-3 years of Covid-delayed weddings, Gina helped us get into our dream venue and we reserved a weekend in the ideal month of Sept, 2022. The venue coordinator even told me they were only taking weddings for 2023 but because they love Gina, were willing to book ours for 2022. I had nearly given up during my search for a venue but once Gina and the venue were decided, everything else fell into place. The strength of Gina’s network continued to be so valuable as we searched for vendors – many were already booked but she found us great options in all categories. She also has a wonderful sense of style, one of the main reasons we hired her. I had so much fun collaborating with her. Gina is also sweet, patient, and professional and was supportive throughout the process. Many friends told us their weddings were the most stressful experience but I’d say despite it being a lot of work, we felt fairly relaxed because we had Gina’s help. Our wedding weekend turned out more beautiful than I had imagined. Gina added many thoughtful and clever touches throughout – design elements or suggestions that enhanced the emotional atmosphere. We received many comments from guests afterwards that our wedding was so “gorgeous”, “stylish”, “romantic”, “lovely”, and that they had an awesome time. We are so grateful for Gina and highly recommend her!” – Hannah W.

“Gina is a spectacular wedding planner! We worked with her recently and everything was extremely detailed oriented and organized from start to finish. She also has an ease about her that makes you feel so comfortable and confident during the wedding day. If you are looking for someone to plan your day that you can fully trust in, look no further. She is truly the best of the best!” – Carly P.

“We were so lucky to find Gina! She flawlessly executed our 350 person Korean – Indian wedding. She was always responsive when we had questions or worries, and her problem-solving skills are unmatched. We trusted her to translate our aesthetic vision and it paid off–she beautifully styled all aspects of our wedding and really understood what we wanted, after just a couple of initial conversations. But most of all, her vibe is just exactly what you need during the planning process. She is an expert facilitator–so diplomatic, kind, communicative, and thoughtful in receiving input from opinionated family members and vendors, while staying focused and true to what we wanted as a couple. She also is the most grounded, calming, and capable presence on the wedding day. Every time I saw her, I felt again reassured that everything was going off without a hitch, even when we had a summer squall in the middle of the day before our outdoor ceremony. We love her <3” – Jane S.

“Gina was an absolute dream to work with! Gina helped us plan and execute a 170 person wedding that was at a beach side estate which had no true venue. My favorite part of working with Gina was her calm, caring and knowledgable demeanor that she carried through to each meeting down to the breakdown of our entire wedding the next day. Our wedding was replanned twice and Gina was unbelievable through the entire process of moving venues and vendors to a completely different state. She connected us with fabulous vendors that I wasn’t able to find or receive responses from on my own. Gina has so much expertise and knowledge about weddings that aren’t at a venue. I personally was most perplexed in needing to know what to order for a wedding where we needed to bring in every single detail from the types and quantity of glassware down to the types of generators needed to keep our tent, band, portapotties etc running. Gina knew exactly what we needed and handled all the orders so we wouldn’t need to stress about the logistics needed to flawlessly execute. Not only was she extremely creative, bringing in beautiful ideas that aren’t cookie-cutter “wedding” ideas, but she was also very patient with teaching us about all the important needs that go into making the wedding feel effortless and easy for us but also our guests. The wedding went off without a hitch. Friends commented that it was one of their favorite weddings they’ve been too- extremely creatively planned with no hiccups the entire night. I was also determined to have a very creative and cool-feeling wedding and Gina was very supportive and helpful with giving exciting ideas to help execute my vision. I have been a bridesmaid in 4 weddings before my own and have always been bothered/perplexed that my friends’ planners would make the bride more nervous than they already were. Gina was AMAZING on my wedding day- she has such grace and calmness about her way of managing a crew of 30+ vendors while helping me, my bridesmaids and family keep things moving without feeling a once of pressure or nervous energy. Gina became a true friend I will keep forever after a year + of planning together. I was so happy to have her by my side through the entire wedding and process. We love her so much and I cannot recommend her enough if you are planning a non-venue wedding that you want to feel extremely creative and cool!!” – Tess H.

“Gina was an absolute angel. I cannot recommend her highly enough. When our original venue was shut down, Gina found a new, even better venue within 2 weeks. She managed all communication with vendors and advocated for my vision and dream to come to reality. Gina has a ton of experience and her input is so helpful. More importantly, Gina was so loving and kind. She felt like a part of our family throughout the planning process and at the event. Our wedding was incredible and it is all thanks to Gina!!” – Kelsey D.

“We absolutely loved working with Gina. From the moment we met her, she made us feel excited, prepared, and calm in the face of a huge undertaking! Her vendor recommendations were spot on, particularly the band which was of huge importance to us. Gina went above and beyond to help us navigate large and small questions – from COVID-related planning to the smallest of details such as the types of flatware to include at the table setting. She was readily available to answer questions and brought up many important points that we wouldn’t have thought of on our own. Her day-of timeline was absolutely crucial and she made sure that the day went smoothly without a hitch, running point on the large and small details (she was even right there when I needed someone to tighten my corset and bustle my dress!) I’ve received nothing but positive feedback from wedding guests and vendors alike – everyone enjoyed working with and meeting her. Most importantly, her presence and energy was so calming and loving and she helped me feel my best on the most important day of my life thus far. I couldn’t recommend working with Gina more!” – Katherine H.

“As an event planner myself, I struggled with the idea of hiring someone to help me with this special day; But, after meeting Gina and talking through the goals and visions for the evening, I realized she was the perfect event planning partner. Gina is meticulous, thoughtful, and intensional – all things that are important to me and things I wanted to be sure were touched on during our wedding. She went above and beyond in creating a beautiful and memorable event. It was perfect <3 Would definitely recommend working with Gina to help plan your special day!” – Lindsey C.

“I have one word for Gina Maloney… PERFECT!! Her incredible calming energy, gorgeous smile, impeccable focus on every detail and her professionalism made her one of the most important assets to our son and daughter in laws wedding. We truly and strongly recommend her for all her valued attributes, kindness and passion for what she does.” – Marcia G.

“We deliberated as to whether or not we needed a day of planner — hiring Gena was the best decision we ever made!! We called Gina Maloney a few days before our daughter’s wedding and we were lucky that she was available! (Probably because it was on a Thursday night!) From her calming energy ,to her organizational skills ,she helped insure that our party went off without any glitches! Once she gives you that beautiful smile you just know that all will be perfect and it was!!!” – Jody S.

“We can’t thank Gina enough for all of her help! Our wedding was postponed due to Covid, but we were finally able to have it in May. Due to restrictions, everyone had to have a negative Covid test or be vaccinated. Since many of my guests were traveling, Gina went above and beyond to find a solution. This was just one of various obstacles that she helped with flawlessly. She is organized, calm, positive and beyond pleasant to work with. Throughout the planning process, I felt like I was talking to a best friend. She truly has your best interest in mind at all times. Thanks to her, our wedding was perfect and everyone had an amazing time!!” – Taylor K.

“Gina was the best. All the things we couldn’t think or didn’t have time to think of she took care of. From beginning to end, she was on everything and helped us just focus on having a good time. She was kind, caring and saved us the most money possible. I highly recommend.” – Ian A.

“Gina is wonderful! She has great vision, experience and stays calm at the crucial moments. She is easy to work with, very personable and professional and works so hard. She was a great choice for our pre-wedding party and our wedding. She can work to a budget, really makes sure everything is perfect, cares deeply that the bride and groom get their dream and also enjoy the day. An absolute pleasure to work with.” – Leon S.

“There are simply not enough words to ever express how amazing this entire process of planning was all thanks to Gina Maloney. From the beginning of my wedding planning I was a nervous wreck kind of bride! Nervous about every detail, all of the planning, making sure I was doing the right things, taking the right steps.. the moment I hired Gina all of that stress and nervousness dissapeared. From my constant calls & texts during any minor breakdown, Gina was always there to calm me down, fix any issue or any worries and make everything perfect. I can’t put into words how much she did, all of the effort and the genuine support to try and make my day exactly what I envisioned- she did BEYOND what I ever thought could be possible. She is the most calming, genuine, caring person in this business and I can say that so confidently. My wedding was everything & more all because of the planning Gina did.. down to every minor detail that I would have never thought of. I simply could not have done any part of my wedding without her let alone just the support and calmness she brought to me. It was more than I ever could’ve dreamed of. I started off as a client of Gina’s and by the end of the process we felt like family. It just goes to show you there is no better choice than Gina Maloney Events. To say I RECOMMEND is an understatement! It’s a must to have this amazing person part of the most special day. I’ll never be able to thank her enough for everything she put into my wedding and just how comfortable the whole entire planning process was just because of her beautiful spirit and the knowledge she has on EVERYTHING wedding! Simply put, Gina is the way to go! You will be as amazed and speechless by her as I still am! ” – Nicole A.

“Could not say enough about Gina Maloney Events. She is there for you until the end. We unfortunately got postponed due to COVID and if it wasn’t for Gina this bride would have been a MESS. She is so organized, she will take the time to talk at any point. I now feel she is apart of our family :) If you are looking for the sweetest soul around who will make your special day stress free look no further. Thanks again Gina!!!!” – Melissa S.

“What can we say about Gina?! Everything about our connection with Gina was serendipitous right from the beginning. Such unspoken alignment, she was key in helping us plan an intimate intercultural, interfaith wedding in five months all while never having met in person. We lived in another country and half of our guests were coming from a third country. We simply could not have done it without Gina. And the best part was that throughout it all you could feel her joy right there with you.” – Emily B.

“I’ve read all of Gina’s reviews and am trying to think of something even more superlative to say about her than has already been written. We really think she is extraordinary and would recommend her without a single reservation! Our son’s wedding was the best day of his life and maybe the best day of everyone in our family’s life. Not exaggerating. And it simply would not have been had Gina not been our partner and with us every step of the way. She brought to us an amazing combination of deep experience and totally bespoke creation. The bride and groom knew their wedding was unlike anyone else’s and at the same time Gina could bring years of problem solving and successful ideas to every conversation. She made a wedding of over 200 people feel intimate and so like us. It’s was an incredibly beautiful and elaborate creation and yet it felt simple and personal. It was the most romantic wedding I’ve been to and also the best party ever! Of course there were a million possible stresses from weather to logistics to family dynamics but we hardly felt them because Gina and her wonderful team were so able and approached everything with humor and kindness and grace. Clearly I could go and on. I’ll just conclude by saying that I wish I had another wedding on the horizon so I could look forward working with Gina again.” – Marjorie K

“There is no question that our wedding was seamless because of Gina! Her patience and advice in the weeks before was invaluable and proved to be correct in every aspect of the day. She also worked tirelessly the whole day from morning till night and her professionalism hone through. I wish we had another wedding ! She’s a gem!” – Karen H.

“Wow is all I can say!!! Gina helped to execute my dream wedding. She was on top of everything before, during and after the wedding. She has an eye for design and knows her stuff! Hiring Gina was one of the best things I did for this wedding. She was easy to work with, quick to respond, and I felt that she was there for us always. Highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend.” – Olivia S

“I used Gina as a day of planner for my daughter and son-in-laws’s wedding at Senate Garage. But calling her my day of planner does a disservice. Gina was so incredibly helpful every step of the way. Not only was she so knowledgeable, organized and creative, she was such a pleasure to work with. Gina is a lovely person and a calm presence. Everything was perfect that night because of her.” – Alana S.

“Our wedding couldn’t have gone as smoothly or been as incredible without Gina’s help. She’s exceptionally organized and truly goes above and beyond for her clients. We would highly recommend hiring Gina—you won’t be disappointed!” – Karen R.

“We saw Gina when we were looking at our venue. We thought she was the MOB because she was taking care of EVERYTHING! When we found out she was an event planner, we knew we needed her. Gina made my vision become my wedding. She made it happen without any stress to me or my mom! Every step of the way was easy and fun..every detail carried out with joy and warmth (just as when we saw her the first time). It was a magical night and we can’t thank her enough. We really enjoyed being with Gina and my mom wants Gina to be her BFF!” – Marley M.

“I can’t even put into words how helpful Gina was in planning my Hudson Valley wedding. From the beginning, Gina and I just got each other and she perfectly balanced my desire to not plan a wedding with her amazing creativity and visions. I never really had a vision for my wedding, but I didn’t want to disappoint when it came to the big day and it was truly the best day of my life – thanks to her! I loved Gina’s approach to being more of a partner vs. just doing everything – she was always mindful of making sure MY vision came through (even when I didn’t have one) vs. her creating something on her own, and actually made me enjoy parts of helping to plan the big day. Gina has a vision unlike any other and truly made it all come to life, giving myself and my husband the most magical and special wedding day ever. I highly recommend Gina to help plan any event, you will not be disappointed!” – Traci R.

“I highly recommend Gina Maloney Events. Gina was supportive of our hopes and wishes, guiding us through even the most challenging and unexpected moments with grace and ease. She quickly grasped our vision and helped us build it out as a couple, while taking care of many of the details we’d never even thought to consider. To the contracting and set up, Gina brought wonderful relationships with excellent vendors, and built great relationships with the vendors we requested. Many of our vendors mentioned what a dream she and her team were to work with. I highly recommend Gina Maloney Events – she and her team are a dream to work with and will work tirelessly to create an event that exceeds your wildest expectations.” – Susanne S.

“Gina, When a mom plans her daughters wedding… she looks to the stars and asks for help. And there you were! Our little fairy princess, Gina Maloney, came into our lives and brought her magic wand of creativity and planning that created the most magical night of our lives. The words “thank you” don’t even measure up… you’re family girl! From start to finish you have a gift and we are thankful and lucky to have experienced that gift of yours! We adore you! Peace and Love Always, Deb & Paul Rosen”

“As the mother of the groom and my first child getting married it was difficult to know what to do, how to stay on course and on budget, where to be and when to be there. Gina’s guidance through this process was amazing. Down to every single detail and last minute changes Gina was phenomenal. It was the best weekend and wedding one could ever imagine. Could not have gotten through it all without her. WOW!!” – Marcy A.

“Gina knows how to make it all work. As wedding vendor who deals with a lot of wedding planners I was amazed at what Gina was able to pull off. A beautiful presentation of Boho Chic surrounded the space of the party. What I loved was that not only everything directly facing the guests was beautifully designed, but areas often ignored like the wall behind the bar in the wedding tent was given a finished classic look with details that I have seen planners overlook. Small details gave the wedding the finish of a complete experience. Hire her if you want the best.” – Madison R.

“I highly recommend Gina Maloney Events for wedding planning. Her supportive, confident and professional expertise made our newlyweds’ wedding a great success. Her recommended vendors were top notch – the sailcloth tent was beautiful, the DJ excellent and the shuttle buses on time. She also kept the wedding party on time and calm, which is quite a feat! The wedding was an outdoor event and the weather unpredictable. When we felt we had to change the ceremony venue from an outdoor location to a nearby church due to the weather, Gina didn’t blink an eye. She set off with her team and decorated the church beautifully, as if she had planned for it all along. I can very highly recommend Gina’s confident support, managerial skill, good nature, calm expertise and spirit, not to mention her great eye, which ensured that the tent and house looked beautiful. She and her team were a pleasure to work with. Top marks for Gina Maloney Events!” – Nancy S.

“I’m a fellow wedding vendor and have nothing but the highest praise for Gina. As a vendor I see behind-the-scenes of events, and Gina is always the utmost professional—plus she’s extremely pleasant and fun. Her style is impeccable, and her experience is apparent in her flawless execution of every aspect of the weddings. As any wedding planner should, she pays attention to every last detail. She is a huge attribute to the Catskills. We are lucky to have her in our area. Any bride would be lucky to work with her.” – Rebecca F.

“Gina was fantastic! My husband and I weren’t sure at first if we wanted to hire a ‘day of coordinator’ since we were planning the wedding on our own and it was an added expense. Hiring Gina was a great decision. She made herself available well before the wedding and helped with many things on our to-do list. On our big day, she made us feel at ease and handled all of the details with all of the vendors. She is also very experienced with how everything should flow throughout the day. Thank you, Gina!!” – Kathryn T.

“There aren’t enough words in my lexicon to describe how much I adore Gina. My now husband and I live in Philadelphia, but wanted to get married somewhere special. We chose the Catskills, NY area because there’s quite actually something in the water, the air… the people. We wanted our guests to feel that too. There’s not a doubt in my mind they did, and a large part of that is because of Gina! Her warm heart, and bright energy will immediately put your stressed mind at ease. She has a keen eye for detail, and all of those will be the most unique things you’ve ever heard of! One of my favorite touches of hers was lighting/spraying this gorgeous incense and essential oil spray throughout the reception and lounge area before everyone entered. It instantly set the vibe for the rest of the evening! So…to be quite frank – Gina’s the best in the biz! From running the entire weekend without a hitch, to gathering all our gifts at the end of the night…she’s perfection. You won’t be disappointed. I feel truly honored Gina Maloney was a part of our special mountain getaway!!! We’ll miss her terribly.” – Ashley M.

“Gina was sent from above to us! I’m not kidding. Anyone that has the opportunity to work with Gina is very lucky. In my experience over the course of our 18 month engagement to our wedding in September, Gina was there every step of the way. She’s the ultimate BIG Thinker, Creative, Fun, Inspiring and Calming force that every bride, groom and family deserve for big decisions but specifically the day of. Here are some main areas to know when working with Gina. 1 The Creative Mind/Design: From the day we met, there was no doubt Gina would bring a unique perspective to every decision making the day more than a wedding but experience for guests. Gina’s deep expertise on design and incredible connections in NYC area and Hudson River helped make the planning smooth and effortless. 2 Gina’s Service: Throughout the 18 months, I leaned and reached out to Gina for so much. I hired her for month to day of but despite that I leveraged her connections, bounced ideas off of her and most of all she was a emotional rock during the process. Gina gave me tools to breakdown the process and it was very rare that I felt overwhelmed because I had Gina by my side. Last and most important, it was until much later, I learned Gina had several other weddings during the same summer of my wedding but she made me feel as if I was her only BRIDE. I’m shocked at what Gina was able to put on her plate and it’s a testament of her service, expertise and professionalism. 3 Gina’s Execution: The events around the wedding and day of was completely FLAWLESS. ENOUGH SAID. She had to make last minute decisions due to weather resulting in a change of ceremony site and at no point did I doubt her and team would not be able to pull it off. Gina made me feel comfortable and put my mind at ease throughout the entire day. I knew she was the best, but the day of it really confirmed, she’s the best in the business. People in my bridal party who do events for a living were also impressed at her ability to handle the day, guide the vendors and venue. My family and friends felt comfortable relying on Gina for guidance during the day and never did she appear stressed. Last but not least, Gina’s friendship and help is sincere. Gina is not your typical person for hire, she is there with you because she wants to be and truly loves what she does. If you let Gina in, she’ll treat your event as if she’s planning her daughters — with love, attention and care. I’m serious that anyone that has the opportunity to work with her, will have a pleasure and not only a easy wedding or event planning experience but a memorable positive experience. I strong recommend meeting with Gina, she’ll win you over. Gina has the best ideas, great flexibility, best connections and vendors who are dying to work with her. I wish all the best in your wedding/event planning but I know if you have Gina, you won’t need the luck, because she’s a star.” – Lisa T.

“Gina is the BEST wedding planner. She is equal parts organized and creative; she kept us on track with our to-do list and had wonderful ideas to make every part of our wedding weekend perfect. Gina was always 10 steps ahead of us :) We were so lucky to work with Gina for all of our wedding events – she went above and beyond with things like: creative ideas for food display, allowing us to use her home to ship various items, assisting with welcome bag assembly, wording for all of our printed materials, helping us find local vendors at great costs, communicating with ALL vendors, creating a detailed outline for the entire weekend… Gina even saved our wedding table arrangements and had them at our brunch the next morning! We were blown away by her thoughtfulness – she truly made us feel like family, not clients. If you have the chance to work with this special woman, DO IT!!!” – Ashley A.

“Where do I even begin with Gina? I knew from our initial phone conversation that she was the one for me. (This sounds like a love story, and it kind of is!) The whole thought of planning a wedding was a bit daunting, although my past career was even in event planning. I knew I had a vision, but how would that vision come to life? Enter Gina. After a few conversations trying to pull specific key words, colors, feelings out of me, Gina knew exactly what I was looking for – and I trusted her. 9 months prior to my wedding, we walked the property and that is when I started getting REALLY EXCITED. I, of course, was excited to get married to my now husband, but the whole wedding planning process itself was not so desirable. Gina made it fun. When we walked the property, I could immediately sense Gina’s eye for not only style, but detail. Nothing went unnoticed. Fast forward to a few days before my wedding, forecast was for rain. Gina calls me and tells me the property is cold and she thought guests would not enjoy themselves being outside. Although I was bummed to hear this, I trusted her, and told her to do whatever she needed to do to make the ceremony tent beautiful. The ceremony tent ended up being a lot of our guests favorite site. It was intimate, covered in candles and flowers, twinkle lights, you name it. It was magical. She was able to think on her toes and used all of the items we had originally planned to use in other locations and distributed where she thought looked best – and they did. Gina is the absolute BEST. If you are a bride who is wondering if a wedding planner is worth it? YES. 100 times over. Gina was not involved with our rehearsal dinner at all, so along with my family and bridesmaids, we did all of the set up on Friday. However, on Saturday, I did not worry about A THING. I was relaxed all day long knowing that I was in the best of hands. I didn’t even look at any of the sites before the actual wedding itself. Again, this goes down to the amount of trust I had for her. Please consider working with Gina. She will make your wedding an absolute DREAM!” – Karla
