She crafted a beautifully personalized ceremony which captured our story and engaged our guests.  Emerald is a consummate professional: extremely communicative, with great attention to detail and real heart for what she does. She delivered a flawless ceremony, while bringing warmth and a reassuring confidence that permeated the space. When we first explored using an officiant service, my biggest worry was that it would feel impersonal or forced. Instead, what Emerald delivered was an authentic reflection of our relationship and the dynamic we share. Many of our guests raved about how exceptionally meaningful the ceremony was, and were surprised to learn that we weren't close friends with Emerald. She captured us so well. We are incredibly grateful for the way Emerald elevated our wedding and wholeheartedly recommend her services.

Emerald was super communicative and punctual. Not only that, but she went out of her way to make sure that our special day was perfect and that we were ready. She accommodated us and walked us through everything that would be expected on our wedding day. Her standards as an officiant and her speech at our ceremony were a total home run! She took the information we provided and created a beautiful moment that we will remember for the rest of our lives. I highly recommend trying out Emerald - she's fantastic, hands down!

Let me just start out by saying, Gina is AMAZING!!!!!! I cannot even imagine what my wedding day…read morewould have been like if I didn't have her on hand. I hired Gina as a Day-Of wedding coordinator, so we really didn't work together too much until the day of. In that package, I got two meetings with her prior to my wedding. The meetings are utilized however you like, and whenever you like. I used my first meeting to get an opinion on a lot of things I was undecided about, such as how to address our parents on our invitations since my parents are divorced and my dad is remarried, etc, it was very complicated. Gina was very helpful. She also gave me outstanding references for where to get invitations and also for my hair and makeup. The week of the wedding, she contacted all of my vendors and pulled together a timeline. Since I was extremely stressed out that week, I got very sick and could not get out of bed. Gina took over and coordinated all the last minute details for me- the trolley, the photographer, videographer, the DJ, etc. The DJ was something we were really worried about because he kept giving us a hard time about loading at our reception site. (Our reception was at the Crystal Tea Room in Philadelphia). Gina handled him perfectly. The day of the wedding, a lot of things happened- I needed someone to pin on a piece of my crystal beaded sash onto my bouquet- that was Gina's first task and she handled it with such ease, then my veil was too heavy for my hair, so it kept pulling my hair down and she kept re-pinning it for me, one of the buttons was sewn too loosely at the train of my dress so it became very difficult to bustle me, but she was able to pin it and then re-pin it later on in the night after my husband stepped on my dress, there was another wedding with a very similar sounding last name as ours who had a trolley at the same hotel as us, and there was a mixup with where our booze went, Gina was able to take care of that and contact the groomsmen to figure out what happened, got off the trolley and brought us a new case of beer. She was so wonderful and helpful, I couldn't of imagined a better wedding planner. My only wish was that I hired her as a full-time planner instead of a day-of coordinator because I moved to Paris two weeks after my honeymoon, so I was super stressed throughout the entire engagement. I highly, HIGHLY recommend Gina Sole, she is the best planner out there.

I thought the concept of being a guest at your own wedding was a myth. Yet, this was the best…read morewedding I've ever been to, and it was my own wedding. Gina knocked this out of the park. Exceeded all my expectations. I hired Gina for day-of coordination and 10 hours of wedding planning. It was perfect for me because I'm an intense planner, but I knew there were some aspects of the wedding I didn't care to do the heavy researching on myself. It was a huge time saver, and removed stress being able to reach out to Gina and say, "do you know a florist in my price range" or "where can we get our make up done in Philly that we can trust." I was planning the wedding from New York, so I don't know how I would have ever found a florist without Gina. My florist was incredible and did such a great job, and I'm so grateful that I had her to help me with things like that. She also recommended us our audio company who also were A+. Every recommendation she made was spot-on and perfect. The week of the wedding she called all my vendors and confirmed the timeline, I didn't have to worry about a single thing. Gina is really warm, friendly, really has it together, and she is a BOSS. My wedding had a lot of moving parts and a very unique timeline. Gina kept everything flowing smoothly through the day, and our ceremony started on time! One of my bridesmaids told me right before the ceremony started that she has never been to a wedding that has started on time. She works very well with other vendors, and is great with communication and making sure you have everything you need. On the wedding day, she showed up at my hotel room with smiles and greeted me and all my bridesmaids. She also has a pretty serious steamer that she brought with her to steam my intensely long veil and she steamed one of my bridesmaid dresses for one of my ladies who had a last minute dress emergency. Also, later in the day my groom realized he forgot to move his reception change of clothes to the reception venue, and Gina went back to the hotel to his room and rushed the outfit to the reception. Saved the day! The ceremony was beautiful and flowed perfectly. Everyone knew what to do and was in the right place because of Gina's direction. She even loaded the whole wedding party into the limo at the hotel, and helped all the groomsmen attach their boutonnieres. We had a grand exit with flowerfetti and parking vouchers for the reception that needed to be handed out that took place around the same time, and Gina did a great job organizing so that both happened in a timely manner without confusion. She also made sure she had a coordinator working with my guest buses so guests wouldn't be on their own as they boarded the buses to the ceremony. It really made me feel relieved that someone was managing that so I felt confident everyone would get to the ceremony on time and safely. During the reception, everything flowed great. My dad had parking problems so he was late to the reception, and she even offered to park his car for him even though I knew he would decline since he always follows the rental rules about who can drive the car lol. I really appreciated that she would have jumped in if my dad was willing to let someone else drive the car. She stood outside the venue until he arrived and helped him inside. She helped me and all the wedding party line up for our entrances, and she personally walked me to the bridal suite since I had no idea where it was and she didn't want me to get lost. Overall, my groom and I, and even my wedding party had a stress-free, joyful day. Everyone had the best time, and several guests told us after the wedding its the best wedding they have ever been to. It was so much fun that everyone is still talking about the wedding, sharing photos, and talking about going BACK to Philly soon. Some guests are even joking about moving from New York to Philly. Our wedding party is already talking about a wedding party reunion. Thank you Gina! I had a phenomenal time! I can't believe that was my wedding. Beyond what I ever dreamed for my wedding.

From day one, she was super responsive to our questions and got started getting us on track for the big day. She took the reigns on our vendor relationships and crafted our day-of schedule. This was pretty complicated - we had 250 guests, a packed day with a few Chinese traditions on top of the normal ceremony and reception. Jess, however, was always patient and had amazing attention to detail for timing in making sure we could make it all happen. She also kept me and my husband in check weeks prior to the wedding, making sure we completed everything we needed to do. I'm an over thinker, so I appreciated Jess taking the time to answer all of my silly questions along the way with timeliness and patience. She helped me feel confident for the big day and gave me the support I needed - for the logistics and for my own nerves! Then, came THE day. Her and her team came bright and early and started right away on helping me set up. She even helped me set up a few things I didn't have time to prepare like ceremony and reception decoration. There is nothing her team can't do! They also had this mysterious power of always being able to find me and my husband at all times so we didn't miss anything and were on schedule the whole day. With any wedding there are always things that don't go how we expect, Jess' team quickly adapted to the situation and figured out the solution. As a bride, you can only hope that everything goes smoothy and I felt that way because Jess' team had already figured it out before I could even worry. By the end of the night, we were all just so deliriously happy and cheered with some drinks. We highly recommend them and wish an amazing experience like ours.
