Ginny is best in the business - BOOK HER!!

Ginny!!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!!!!!
If you are considering booking Ginny to help plan your dream wedding, DO NOT HESITATE!!!!!!
Ginny is without doubt the best in the business. Ginny went above and beyond to ensure our day was nothing short of perfect. We planned our wedding from Australia, having never been to Lake Garda. Thankfully we found Ginny, which made the process seamless. Ginny offered unwavering support and consistent communication through the planning process, and across all three days of our celebration. No ask was too big. In fact, Ginny even stepped in last minute and saved the day to officiate our wedding as our celebrant was in an unfortunate motor bike accident (Andreas, we hope you are well and wish you a speedy recovery). Ginny delivered our ceremony with absolute class. Outstanding is an understatement. As Ginny had spent so much time with us on the lead up to the wedding, she was able to add in humour and talk to our personalities as we had developed such a strong relationship with Ginny over 18 months.
I could list a million things in which Ginny exceeded our expectations. She is an absolute delight to work with. Personable, funny, enthusiastic, diligent, hardworking and dedicated are a few words I would use to describe Ginny. We are devasted we live on the other side of the world as we would both love to spend more time with Ginny. Ginny, we miss you so much and we will definitely reach out when we return to Italy to celebrate an anniversary.
We really can’t thank you enough you made our big day so, so special. We honestly couldn’t have done it without you!!!! I have no hesitation is recommending Ginny to anyone that wants to have the perfect wedding.

All our love. Tiffany & Ross xx

Ginny is amazing!

Getting married at Lake Garda seemed like an impossible dream, and it would have been without Ginny. Ginny didn’t just make it possible, but she ensured perfection.

Throughout the planning phase Ginny’s recommendations were fantastic, her communication was great, and how promptly she was able to get things done was incredible. I messaged Ginny at 6am saying we’ve decided to get a band… by 9am I had a list of bands and videos of each!

On the wedding day, everything went so smoothly, whether it was down to Ginny dealing with issues that arose, or Ginny’s experience/relationships with the venues etc I will never know, but it could not have gone any better. Many of the guests also commented on what an amazing job Ginny was doing throughout the day. (Including locating the bride’s bouquet for the photographs and also the part time babysitting our daughter when we visited the venues a few days prior to the wedding)

Despite all of this, I have no intentions of becoming a repeat customer. But would highly recommend Ginny to anybody who wants to get married at Lake Garda, buy has no idea where to start. Place your trust with Ginny and you will have a wedding everybody will remember.

Ginny, thank you, you made our wedding the most memorable day of our lives.

Ginny is simply amazing

What can we say about Ginny. From the first moment we met her we knew she was the lady to bring our vision to life. She is a very honest, approachable and trustworthy lady who had the ability to make planning our special day seem totally stress free. Her attention to detail is second to none and her calm persona makes you feel completely at ease. The communication throughout was faultless and she listened to all of our suggestions and offered suggestions of her own using her wealth of knowledge to create the most perfect day for us and our guests. She also helped plan events either side of our wedding which made the organisation of these events seem effortless. We cannot recommend this remarkable lady enough to help you plan your special day. We will forever be grateful for the time, dedication and willingness to go above and beyond to make our dreams come true. Everybody needs a Ginny.

Everyone needs Ginny!

Ginny is worth her weight in gold!

I started researching the idea of getting married in Italy and as soon as I had a video call with Ginny, I just knew was the lady for the job. She created the wedding of our dreams! Any idea we came up with, or changed last minute she came back with it. Leading up to the wedding people couldn’t believe how relaxed I was, my reply was always ‘what have I got to be stressed about? I have Ginny!’ Nothing was too much trouble! She was so calm and had everything in hand throughout. The day was absolutely perfect. All of our guests commented how lovely Ginny was too.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Ginny!

Lots of love
Georgie & Alex

I would trust Ginny with my life!

Not to be dramatic, but I would trust Ginny with my life. She was absolutely above and beyond, and exactly the type of person you’d dream of having as your wedding planner (actually, I need someone like her in my life overall). She has 13+ years of experience planning weddings for Lake Garda and it really shows. From the moment I met her, to the day of the wedding, I never stopped being in awe and impressed by her. In fact, she was SO calm that at times it made me anxious we were not acting quickly enough/missing something. In hindsight, seeing how PERFECTLY the wedding day went, that was just her experience showing. If Ginny says it's going to be great, it’s going to be jaw-droppingly fantastic and you can count on that. She is so patient, firm when needed (and trust me brides, sometimes you need a voice of reason), so kind, funny and just a lovely person to be around overall. Until the day before, I was that annoying bride that was asking if something could be changed/added and Ginny was calm, supportive and tried to make my very last minute requests happen. I’m eternally grateful for her even trying so close to the wire.

On the day of, I was not well and a ball of nerves, and sure I was going to faint walking up to the altar. It was hot and humid, and I was so nauseous to top it off. Just seeing Ginny was a wave of comfort and she came over to save the day with her much needed calming words, and her unexpected knowledge in acupressure! It really brought me back to life and she snapped me into place.

I genuinely miss her, and we feel incredibly lucky to not only have had her as our wedding planner, but to meet such an inspiring woman. I am inspired to be like Ginny! Cool, calm, collected, kind and funny. She's a badass, and honestly I couldn't fathom a better wedding planner in the world could exist. Five stars is not enough.. anyone know how to give 6?

We cannot recommend Ginny more! The perfect planner for your Lake Garda wedding!

We will be forever grateful to Ginny for making our wedding dreams come true!

She’s helped us every step of the way, from finding the perfect venue, to understanding paperwork, recommending the loveliest people to work with, being patient whilst we figured out what we wanted, and keeping us calm throughout - and that’s all before making sure the day itself ran perfectly!

It was clear from the very beginning that we were in safe hands. Ginny is passionate about creating the best day possible for her couples, with a professional, friendly and calm approach. We’d highly recommend her to anyone with dreams of a Lake Garda wedding.

Thank you Ginny for working your magic and creating our perfect day!

Excellent wedding abroad

We had a great experience with Ginny for our wedding from advice and planning to perhaps most importantly when engaging in a wedding abroad liaising with local suppliers to ensure everything was communicated clearly and the day itself was seamless.

We were able to really enjoy our wedding due to all of the work put in behind the scenes.

Perfect!!!

Ginny created our perfect wedding day! Our idea of a lake garda wedding became reality because of her ideas, support and guidance! She made the planning period not stressful, but fun!
When we got nerveus, she calmed us down, when we were indecisive, she kept an eye on the timeline! And the wedding day itself we could enjoy to the fullest because of her organization, flexibility, dedication and professionalism!
We can only recommend Ginny, as she took a vital role for us to have our dream wedding!

Exceptional

Ginny has all the qualities we could have hoped for in a wedding planner - calm, organised and a no ask is too much attitude.

She truly wants to bring your vision to life, guiding you and providing the much needed hand holding but doesn’t try to influence you on the big decisions. Entertainment was very important for us and it took a while to find the right band, but Ginny was patient and constantly finding new options until we found the perfect one, which she absolutely nailed!!

Her wealth of experience and knowledge were invaluable and the strong relationships she has with vendors in Lake Garda made everything so easy.

The wedding day ran so smoothly - meticulously organised and everything on schedule, while still feeling so relaxed. And the reception party was more fun than we could have imagined!

We can’t thank Ginny enough for the magical day she helped us to create, one that we will never forget.

If you want your expectations exceeded, it’s got to be Ginny!

Wedding of my dreams!

If you want to have a wedding that all your guests will say is the best they’ve even been to, then hire Ginny. If you don’t want that, then sure hire someone else 🙂

We hired Ginny to plan our wedding at Isola Del Garda/Gardone Riviera in September 2023 and it truly was the wedding of our dreams. Ginny is that rare wedding planner that stays completely calm during the craziness of planning, yet doesn’t miss a single important detail.

We can’t stop looking at all the photos and videos from our special day and look forward to seeing Ginny when we come back to the lake for future wedding anniversaries. It was the best day of our lives and ours guests keep saying it was the best day of their lives (seriously). The day was absolutely brilliant. Grazie mille Ginny!!

Ginny is THE most amazing wedding planner, super professional, organised, calm, collected and exactly what every Bride and Groom planning their wedding needs!

International Wedding


We had the pleasure of working with Ginny for our international wedding and cannot express how grateful we are for her exceptional services! From the initial video consultation to the big day itself, she exceeded all expectations and made our Italian wedding a dream come true.

Right from the start, Ginny showcased her professionalism and dedication. She took the time to understand our vision, preferences, and budget, ensuring that every detail of our wedding was tailored to perfection. Her attention to detail and creative ideas transformed our vision to reality.

Communication was effortless and prompt throughout the entire planning process. Whether through calls, emails, or video chats Ginny was always available to address any concerns or questions we had. Her responsiveness and willingness to accommodate our needs made us feel at ease, knowing that we were in capable hands.

One of the standout qualities of Ginny was her extensive network of vendors. She was able to recommend top-notch professionals for every aspect of our wedding, including catering, florals, photography, and entertainment. Her relationships with these vendors ensured that we received the best quality services within our budget. It saved us a tremendous amount of time and effort in researching and vetting vendors ourselves.

On the day of the wedding, Ginny truly shined. She managed every aspect of the day flawlessly, from coordinating with vendors to ensuring that the timeline was followed meticulously. Her calm and reassuring presence allowed us to fully enjoy our special day, knowing that everything was being taken care of behind the scenes.

Ginny even went above and beyond to accommodate last-minute changes and unexpected circumstances. Her adaptability and problem-solving skills were truly commendable, ensuring that our wedding proceeded seamlessly despite any hiccups.

Overall, we cannot recommend Ginny enough for anyone looking for a highly professional and dedicated wedding planner. Her expertise, attention to detail, and exceptional customer service made our wedding an unforgettable experience. If you want your special day to be stress-free and truly magical, do not hesitate to hire her. We love you Ginny! Xoxo

Amazing Wedding in Lake Garda

Hi Ginny,

We are all back in the UK now and we’d just like to reiterate our appreciation to you in helping with our marriage. If the events leading up to the day were somewhat challenging, the day itself was everything (and more) that we hoped it would be! Thanks to you and Claudia the ceremony was amazing, in an amazing building, and it could not have been more enjoyable.

Staying on the theme of amazing, Sara was also amazing! We’re obviously in touch with her re the photos and have thanked her personally for her contribution, but as you recommended her it may be good to know our feelings.

You helped us make memories and hopefully this little note helps make all the challenging times feel worthwhile.

One last, you were amazing, and we’ll sign-off and get on with our married life together!

Love and thanks

Mr & Mrs Walsh
😊x

The best of the best!

We really cannot recommend Ginny enough. From our first conversation up until the big day, Ginny was always there to put our minds as ease and help us with absolutely anything.
There were things that we hadn’t thought about that Ginny made us aware of and it genuinely made our day that bit more special.
The best advice that she gave to us the day before the wedding was ‘nothing can go wrong’ and honestly, everything went absolutely perfectly from start to finish and we definitely couldn’t have done it without Ginny! Our day was truly magical and the most amazing, unforgettable experience.
Thank you for everything!!! xx
