Reviews of Perfection An International Event Company (Event Planner)

Elaine McDonnell

Where do I start to describe the impact Gina and her team at Perfection had on our wedding. They were amazing and exceeded our expectations on every level! Organizing a wedding in Waikiki from New York was a scary prospect until I met Gina! From our very first conversation she was able to relate to the vision I had for our special day. She wasn’t pushy, she didn’t force her opinions or suggestions on us, rather she helped to find vendors and options that best suited our vision. It was very clear that she has an amazing working relationship with many vendors in O’ahu. In fact, everyone we worked with said the same thing when I told them who our wedding Planner was “You’re in great hands, Gina is amazing!”. On our wedding day, I empowered Gina to make all the decisions and she did an outstanding job! My friends and family loved her and her team too. If you are looking for a wedding planning team that is reliable, dependable, honest, friendly, supportive and fun - look no further than Gina and her team at Perfection!

Highly recommend Perfection as your wedding planner!!! Gina is the best planner that you wouldn't want to miss. She is super detail orientated and a pure perfectionism. We had our wedding in May, 2019 in Hawaii for the destination wedding. At the beginning, we interviewed several wedding planners and finally chose Gina as our planner, and it was one of the best decision that we have ever made. I am very detailed and focused on the overall design for the wedding venue and reception decoration. After I talked to Gina a few times at the early stage during the planning, she quickly understand my preference and spent a lots of time on finding the right vendors for me. All of the vendors that I had on the wedding day was superb and become good friends with us even afterwards. Destination wedding brings much more pressure than the local wedding for sure, but you have my word that if you have Gina's team to help you will not have to worry at all. Only thing you need to do is to tell her in detail about what you want, and finish the homework on time that could help her to incorporate all your ideas into the final outcome. Hope everyone will have your dreamed wedding comes true!

Where do you start when you want to tell the world that Gina with Perfection is an angel sent by god to save the day? Well she is. We are still in the planning stages of our event, but Gina is the glue that is keeping everything - like my sanity - together. She is kind, professional and honest. Gina clearly knows what she is doing and is an excellent event planner - but what matters to me the most (and my fiancé) is that she somehow manages to make me (the bride) feel less stressed. If you can imagine planning a wedding 3000 miles away is overwhelming. I trust her completely and think that she was the second best decision we made. (The first is actually marrying my better half). She has gone above and beyond, for which I am extremely thankful and will forever sing her praises.

I don’t even know where to start this review... if there were a million stars I guess that would be a solid start! We had interviewed a few wedding planners for our destination wedding in Oahu and when we spoke with Gina, it was clear that she was the one. I work in operations and needed an effective communicator that was organized and professional with a ‘get things done right’ attitude. And even if we were a bit hesitant at first with the budget, it was the best money we spent on the wedding. All of the vendors she recommended were fantastic and Gina was extremely mindful of our style and budget in making recommendations. Every phone call we had was efficient and we were able to also work effectively over email and collaboration tools. It truly felt like we were working with the best in the business. And on the actual day, my husband and I were able to truly enjoy the wedding and completely trust and handoff all responsibilities to Gina’s team. We still cannot talk about the wedding without mentioning Gina.... I wholeheartedly recommend Gina’s services to all couples looking to get married in Hawaii!

Gina and her team are the absolute best!! We were looking for a wedding coordinator who was affordable, knowledgeable, well-connected, reliable, and friendly. Gina was all those things and more! One thing that really struck me in our initial meeting with Gina while we were still searching for a coordinator was that she encouraged us to find the right person for us, even if that was not her. After just one hour together, I felt that she truly cared about us as a couple and just wanted the best for us. We had high standards for a wedding coordinator, and for all our wedding vendors, but we also had a limited budget. Gina did an amazing job guiding us through the entire wedding planning process and navigating the wedding world. She allowed us to create the wedding experience that we wanted, including several unconventional things and some cultural traditions, while advising us on best practices for logistical and practical things. She really helped us figure out how to make our wedding vision come to life in the most cohesive, smart, and smooth manner. She was very responsive to all emails, questions, and concerns. She gave us valuable information and made all our decisions much easier, which was incredibly helpful for managing our decision fatigue as the wedding planning went on. She was extremely easy to talk to and, for our in-person meetings, she always checked in with both my fiancé (now husband!) and me on how life was first before diving into business. We definitely now consider Gina a good friend. As for the day of the wedding at Kualoa Ranch, Gina and her team were absolute perfection - fitting of their name. We had complete confidence and trust in Gina to help our wedding run smoothly, and we did not have to worry about a single thing that day. We could just be fully present in the moment and enjoy celebrating our love on our special day with our friends and family. In other words, we got to focus on the important things and not even think about anything else. The team also did a great job of working behind the scenes, and we felt that no one even noticed them. Everything just seemed to go miraculously according to plan. When in actuality, the team was making it all happen. I tell everyone that our wedding day was beyond perfect, and we both feel that it truly was the best day of our lives so far. I cannot say enough how wonderful it was to work with Gina. We whole heartedly recommend Gina and the Perfection team!!

Our wedding was seamless because of Gina and her team! I was referred to Gina by a friend who had used her for her wedding. She was the only coordinator we spoke with and after our initial meeting we immediately knew she was the perfect fit for us. She is personable, organized, detail oriented and a foodie. Our top priority for a venue was “good food”, Gina knew exactly which venue to recommend and OMG I still can’t get over how delicious our food was at our wedding! She was mindful of our budget and vision and recommended vendors of different styles and price ranges. From someone who tends to procrastinate and can easily get overwhelmed, Gina was able to alleviate any stress I had with planning a wedding from Seattle and kept me on point with her check-lists and deadlines. She was very responsive with any questions or concerns I had during the planning process. The day of the wedding flowed seamlessly, any hiccups we may have encountered we didn’t notice. Gina’s team made us feel like VIPs, her and her assistants made sure we were taken care of throughout the day. Her vendors were top notch and it’s easy to see the amazing relationship Gina has established with them. I can’t stop boasting about how perfect our wedding day was thanks to Gina, her team and the vendors she recommended. If you are looking for someone who is well connected, who can get things done and go above and beyond for you; we highly recommend Gina and her team at Perfection, because that is exactly what you will get!

I was lucky enough to work with Gina at our Inaugural Love Gives Hawaii Gala and although I knew she was the perfect person for the job, she exceeded my expectations and was a significant reason it was such a success! THANK YOU Gina!!!

Working with Gina and her team at Perfection An International Event Company is such a joy. She makes all our events so much smoother and on time. Everyone of us is in tune with her and the event is that much better. She doesn't have problems telling people what needs to get done. You will not regret working with her and her team.

Gina is an amazing wedding planner. To give some background, we first started working with Gina about 9 months before our wedding. We decided to choose all of our own vendors and then pass everything along to Gina 3 months out. From our first conversation with Gina, we were just amazed at how organized, thoughtful, and on top of things she was. Fast forward to three months out when she took over after we had finished choosing our vendors and she was amazing. She made sure we stayed on top of deadlines, made all of our decisions at the right time, and was just there to answer any questions that we had. On the day of the wedding, Gina and her team were just absolutely amazing. They made our wedding day so easy for us and made the wedding just go so smoothly. Her and her staff were always wherever we needed them to be. To sum it up, if you are looking for a wedding planner, you don't need to look further than Gina!

I can not imagine my wedding without Gina and her crew! We started working with Gina about 3 months out from our wedding and thank goodness we did. I thought I was organized, but Gina is way above my level in organization. She was so helpful with the remaining vendors we still had to book, asking questions about little details that we had never even thought of, and keeping us on track!! I tend to be a bit of a procrastinator so having Gina to help with all her reminders and checklists were extremely helpful during the months leading up to the big day. The day of the wedding was absolutely perfect! Gina and her team were on top of it making sure everything was in place and on time... all I had to do was relax until her cue to walk down the isle! Throughout the night her team worked hard to ensure all aspects of the wedding ran smoothly - if there were any hiccups during the day, we surely didn't notice. Our family and friends were equally impressed and commented on how great they thought the planning team was. The best part - once the wedding was over, I didn't have to do a thing but leave! Everything was picked up, cleaned, and all our decorations were put back into our cars just waiting for us to take them back home. This allowed all our family and guests to continue on with the celebrations without having to worry about cleaning up! Gina helped make our wedding the absolute best day ever - I can't thank her enough!!!
