Gail has more than a decade of experience in event planning and organizing events across the San Francisco Bay Area, Greater LA Area, and all over Oahu, Hawaii so we fully trusted her when we engaged her services…

for helping with planning my bachelorette party and advising for my wedding. I was planning my wedding and pre-wedding events from overseas and her calm demeanor and organizational skills helped to soothe my anxieties. She's very prompt with communication and following-up across text, phone calls, and video chats. She is a top-notch organizer and sent me spreadsheets to help with brainstorming ideas, logistics, and scheduling for my bachelorette weekend. She even scouted bars, restaurants, and hiking trails beforehand to ensure that events would flow nicely and on time. She always provided me with an actionable task list for things I should do before our next call. That kind of support was essential for me to avoid feeling overwhelmed with all the moving pieces that go into event planning. Gail goes above and beyond to make events feel special. For as long as I've known her, she always works with an attention to detail that I would never think of myself. For my bachelorette weekend, she surprised me with a decorated hotel room and made sure to coordinate the decor with the color of my wedding band. She also set up a step-and-repeat so we could take group photos and organized a delicious spread of snacks, food, and drink options all weekend long. Gail is absolutely a foodie and you will not be disappointed by her ability to curate an excellent food and drink experience.

For my wedding, Gail advised me in picking my vendors--event planner/coordination team, photographer, and venue--since I was marrying out-of-state. She advised me on the right questions to ask in interviewing potential vendors and what services and terms to look out for in their contracts. Given her many years in the wedding and events industry, I trusted her to review contracts and rates to ensure that I was hiring trustworthy and affordable vendors. She even took the initiative to do the additional research of reading through reviews for my wedding planner to help me make the right decision. On the day of my wedding, Gail accomodated a last minute request of mine for a little surprise during my ceremony vows. After I sent her an urgent request the morning of, she quickly communicated and coordinated with my DJ so we could pull off our surprise. It was certainly a delight to my husband and everyone in attendance.

If you are looking for a highly organized, responsive, hardworking event planner who will help you create beautiful memories with your loved ones, hire Gail Reid.
