Simply Amazing !

Ginny is absolutely amazing! She made our entire wedding experience so easy and completely stress-free. From day one, she was incredibly organized, super efficient, and just the friendliest person to work with. She took a massive weight off our shoulders and handled all the behind-the-scenes coordination flawlessly. If you are looking for a wedding coordinator who feels like a trusted friend and gets things done perfectly, Ginny is the one!

Highly recommend!

Working with Ginny made our Lake Garda wedding everything we hoped for and more. From vendor coordination to the trickiest logistics of a destination wedding in Italy, Ginny handled our special day with total professionalism and a calm, reassuring presence that kept us stress-free the whole way through. Her attention to detail and genuine care for our vision shone through in every choice, from the smallest touches to the big moments. We couldn’t have asked for a better partner in planning the best day of our lives. Highly recommend Ginny to anyone dreaming of a destination wedding!

If you're thinking about getting married in Lake Garda, this is your sign to book Ginny!!

Looking back, hiring Ginny was easily one of the best decisions we made throughout our elopement planning process.

We spent more than 15 months planning, and during that time Ginny became so much more than our wedding planner. Her knowledge of the lake, the vendors, the logistics, THE LANGUAGE, and all of the little details that come with planning a destination wedding is amazing and indispensable. Every recommendation she made was spot on, and having someone who knows Lake Garda as well as she does gave us so much confidence throughout the process.

Ginny also went above and beyond in ways we never expected. One example was helping coordinate a taxi driver for us during our stay on the lake, which ended up making a huge difference in our experience. She was always willing to jump in and help solve problems, answer questions, or make recommendations, no matter how big or small!

She coordinated all of our vendors, managed the countless moving pieces behind the scenes, and made what could have been a stressful process feel seamless from start to finish.

Ginny also pulled double duty as our celebrant! After spending so much time working together, she really got to know us as a couple, which made our ceremony feel incredibly personal and meaningful.

Most importantly, Ginny genuinely cares about her couples – you can feel it in every interaction. We trusted her completely, which allowed us to be fully present and enjoy every moment.

Our elopement was truly the best day we could have ever imagined, and there's no question that Ginny played a huge role in making that happen. We are so grateful for her guidance, support, and friendship throughout the process and couldn't recommend her more highly!

Hire her immediately

I cannot praise Ginny enough, she was invaluable for our wedding. She took away all pressure and stress while just being a brilliant human being. We eloped but it was like still having a close friend still with us.

Wedding better than we could have EVER dreamed!!

How do we put into words how truly amazing our wedding was thanks to Ginny?
We recently got married at Lake Garda this past September, and I am truly speechless at how perfect our day was. Planning a destination wedding from America could have been incredibly stressful, but Ginny made us feel completely comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process. She is not only an expert at what she does, but she is also so much fun to work with!

I had a very specific vision for our wedding, and Ginny executed it perfectly. Her vendor connections are amazing; every professional she recommended was top-tier and understood exactly what we were going for. She even went above and beyond by letting us ship a LOT of wedding items directly to her house in Italy for safekeeping. (Thanks again 😅) Having that level of support while being across the ocean was invaluable.

We wanted to plan a destination wedding that wasn't just for us, but a dream vacation for our guests—and Ginny delivered. People still come up to me all the time telling me how much fun they had and saying our wedding felt like a real life fairy tale. She made sure every single guest was comfortable and taken care of, coordinating events the day before and the day after to ensure the whole weekend was seamless.

When the wedding day arrived, Ginny was incredible. She truly pulls through when it matters most, showing up with total focus and making sure every detail ran smoothly. I truly could not have pictured a more perfect day; it was more than we ever could have dreamed of.

Ginny, there are truly no words for how thankful we are and for how perfect our day was. Thank you for making the most important day of our lives so special and personalized for us. We will forever day dream of our time spent in Lake Garda!!

Couldn’t have done it without Ginny

We had been at a wedding of our friends in Lake Garda which Ginny had organised and knew instantly that she would be our wedding planner and that the beautiful Lake Garda would be our wedding location.

Ginny is extremely busy and highly in demand so if you manage to book her in you are extremely lucky. We put our plans off by a couple of months to make sure we were able to have her on our team.

Ginny was so calm, collected, supportive, friendly, patient and organised throughout the entire process. She was always there to pick up the phone, give a steer, make a tough call, offer alternative suggestions, find solutions and just help in whatever way she could. She’s a consummate professional and expert in what she does with so much knowledge of Lake Garda and its various locations so it was unsurprising that everything ran so smoothly - even the last minute decisions and things which I hadn’t thought about.

Ginny was also our celebrant and did a wonderful job for us. She interacted so well with our guests and we were delighted to have her with us for the entire weekend.

Thanks so much Ginny - we’d do it all again in a heartbeat !!!

Love Cathal & Nicole

La Dolce Vita!

What can we say — we asked, and you truly delivered. We had the most incredible time celebrating with friends and some family who travelled from the UK after our wedding in Australia.

From the very beginning, Ginny was gracious, kind, funny, and endlessly helpful. She took all the stress off our shoulders, offered fantastic advice and options, and stayed present and supportive throughout the entire 18-month lead-up.

On the weekend itself, she was there every step of the way, guiding us and working seamlessly with the wonderful staff at the stunning Villa Bissiniga. Together, they created an experience that captured the magic of Lake Garda and la dolce vita.

We will never forget those days or the beautiful celebration Ginny and the team organised. It was truly incredible. We all had the best time and will treasure it as one of our most special memories.

Thank you, Ginny, for making our dream come true.

Thank you Ginny - our wonderful wedding Celebrant and MC x

We had the absolute privilege of having Ginny as both our celebrant and MC for our wedding at the stunning Villa Cariola near Lake Garda. With me being from Australia and my husband from Italy, it was so important that our ceremony be held in both languages and Ginny delivered this so beautifully and seamlessly. From our very first chat, she made us feel completely understood and supported, offering thoughtful guidance every step of the way. When she stepped in as our MC just before the big day, she went above and beyond — coordinating all our suppliers and handling every detail with care and calm. On the day itself, she was our anchor, our voice of reason, and such a warm presence. We’ll forever be grateful for her kindness, professionalism, and the friendship we’ve gained. Thank you Ginny xx

Simply Magical

I would recommend Weddings at Lake Garda and Ginny without a moment’s hesitation. From our very first contact, I knew I was in safe hands. Ginny is an incredible woman - warm, intuitive, and endlessly supportive. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and she just gets it.
I changed my mind more than a few times throughout the planning process, and Ginny was there every step of the way, offering her invaluable advice, calm reassurance, and expert guidance. In the end, we decided on an intimate elopement with just 9 of us, and it was perfect.
Ginny made everything simple and stress-free - exactly what I had hoped for. Planning from afar could have been daunting, but she turned it into an absolute breeze. On the day itself, everything ran like clockwork. Every detail was thought of, every moment was magical, and it couldn’t have been more perfect.
My whole family commented on how incredible she was - it genuinely felt like she was part of our group. Having her not only plan the day but also lead the ceremony was such a special touch.
Ginny, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for giving us the wedding of our dreams. You truly make magic happen, and we’ll never forget it. I hope one day we meet again - hopefully for a Spritz by the lake! Casey & Jamie. x

Torre 21/09/2025 the best day of our lives!!

To trust someone with the most important day of your life is something that people would struggle to do. But we would do it again and again and again.
We honestly had the best day of our lives – and so much of that is thanks to our incredible Ginny! From the very beginning, she was organised, calm, and completely on top of every detail. On the day itself, she ensured everything ran seamlessly – from managing the timing of our surprises for guests to coordinating all the different elements behind the scenes.
We didn’t have to worry about a single thing and could truly relax and enjoy every moment knowing Ginny had it all under control. We are so grateful for her professionalism, warmth, and dedication – it made all the difference.
We would 100% choose her again to coordinate our big day. She’s amazing. Could not have asked for any more and would ask her again without hesitation.
Lots of love
Babak and Natalie

Exceeded Every Expectation and More

We are so happy we chose Ginny as our wedding planner. She is a true professional who eliminated virtually all the stress from our planning process. Ginny also made sure that we adhered to our budget by explaining our options clearly. We were especially impressed by her extensive, reliable vendor recommendations. Ginny has clearly built strong relationships, and the entire team she assembled was composed of exceptional talent. We absolutely adored every vendor, and they collaborated effortlessly to create a day that was even more magical than we could have ever imagined.

On our wedding day, Ginny made sure the schedule ran smoothly. She organized the events and guests, which allowed us to completely relax and truly enjoy the day. Thanks to Ginny, our wedding day exceeded every expectation and we couldn't have been happier. I can't thank her enough for making our wedding day so amazing. It was the most wonderful day ever and went well above what I have ever envisioned. Our guests can't stop talking about it as well ☺️

Saved our Wedding

We had been to Lake Garda with another "planner" from Ireland. We were shown a venue that we fell in love with. Soon after returning home the planner went missing. We reached out to the venue directly and the we came across Ginny. To say she was a miracle is an understatement. She never done a wedding in the venue we wanted. But she made it all happen and some. An absolute lady, so nice, so genuine and her husband who stays in the background but was a big hit with all our guests. I can't say enough about Ginny, other than, if you want to get married in Italy, not just lake Garda, in the whole of Italy. You need Ginny.

She's the absolute best!!

We can’t believe the day has already come and gone and our wedding is now a beautiful memory, and it’s all thanks to Ginny.

After countless emails, voice notes, and WhatsApp messages, it feels surreal to wake up without a message or update from Ginny. She became such an important part of our lives during the planning process, and her presence is truly missed!

From the very beginning, Ginny guided us with such care, patience, and professionalism. She held our hands even when we didn’t know we needed it, and there was never a single moment where she didn’t have a solution, or at the very least, a calm, reassuring mindset that immediately put us at ease.

Ginny’s knowledge, experience, and the genuine love she has for what she does were felt every step of the way. She made not just our wedding day, but also our welcome dinner and lake party, absolutely perfect. Everything ran seamlessly because of her.

We truly can’t thank Ginny enough. She helped create the best days of our lives, memories we’ll cherish forever. Ginny will always hold a special place in our hearts, and we promise… we’ll be back in Garda, and we will see her again soon! ❤️

The wedding of our dreams & a friend for life

Ginny, where do we even begin? From the very first conversation, we just knew you were the one for us! Every wedding of yours we’d seen radiated pure happiness and fun, relaxed but so personal and we instantly knew you were the right fit for our day.

Over the last year and a half, we’ve grown so close that it honestly feels bittersweet now the wedding is over. But what a wedding it was, the absolute wedding of our dreams, even more perfect than we ever imagined. The only consolation is that we know we’ve gained a friend for life.

From showing us venues and driving us around once we finally got out to Lake Garda, to liaising with all of our Italian vendors, sharing incredible ideas, and making sure nothing got lost in translation, you really left no stone unturned. You thought of everything, even letting us store our stationery and stands at your house in the run-up. You calmed our nerves, reassured us when doubts crept in, were always there for advice and were just an all-round wonderful human to have by our side.

Thank you for helping us create not just the wedding we dreamed of, but something even more magical. Even some of our guests said it was the best day of their lives (haha!) which really says it all. We can’t wait to keep following all of your beautiful weddings in the future. And to anyone reading this… if you’re even thinking about booking Ginny don’t think, just do it! You’d be mad not to snap her up before she’s fully booked.

Also one last thing, thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts. Good luck getting rid of us now haha! Xx

Fabulous!!

It's hard to put into words how amazing our wedding day was and none of it would have been possible without Ginny! From the very first call, I felt confident that she was the right choice for our Lake Garda wedding. Her guidance and expertise was truly invaluable and Ginny made the whole planning experience as enjoyable as possible with her calm and reassuring nature. She was always on hand to answer questions, discuss any new ideas and logistics and also offered so much support to us both. As a bit of a type A individual, I was nervous to plan an Italian wedding from Ireland, but I wish I could go back and tell myself that everything would be more than okay, once I had Ginny!

The day itself was flawless and stress free and I felt I could really be in the moment, knowing that Ginny was coordinating everything so smoothly. All the vendors she suggested were also brilliant, and it was clear that they love working with her. The ceremony Ginny officiated was also perfect, I felt she really took the time to understand our intentions for it and the whole thing really represented us. She also helped us organise a more relaxed day 2 of celebrations, which again worked out perfectly and was exactly what we'd had in mind.

I truly couldn't have done it without her - Thank you Ginny helping us make our wedding dreams a reality!
