Prior to GiaBella Weddings, I spent many years in Los Angeles in the fast-paced entertainment industry planning events and assisting with Hollywood movie productions. In my “spare time”, I assisted a well-known Los Angeles wedding planner and fell in love with working with both the bride and groom to coordinate their wedding day.

With over 20 years of event planning experience and coordinating weddings, I take pride in my work and share both my enthusiasm and expertise with every wedding and event. Our attention to detail, sense of style, flexibility, warmth and strong relationships with respected and talented event professionals are what make our company successful. I help orchestrate a wedding that always compliments my client’s vision, while being respectful of both my client’s desires and budget. I am inspired by my couple’s personality, style and taste to thoughtfully design a wedding day that will revitalize the traditional and tastefully modernize the classics to make their wedding a reflection of who they are.  I am dedicated to making every moment of your wedding planning not only effortless, but fun — from the very first meeting to your big day.

I simply LOVE what I do! I truly enjoy getting to know my clients by planning one of the most important days of their life and meanwhile, creating relationships that will last a lifetime. I feel blessed to be a part of the wedding planning experience and celebration and never take it for granted. I promise to exceed your expectations.
