You know that feeling when you give someone a gift and they open it with pure excitement: surprised, grateful, completely lit up? That’s what this work feels like to me, it’s my high…and my why.

I am so grateful my career has taken me behind the scenes with major sporting events and well-known organizations. Yet, weddings have always been my constant. They were always the part that mattered most to me; the emotion, the energy, and the opportunity to create meaningful moments for couples and their favorite people.

gemma&co events lived in my head well before it came alive. I wanted to create an experience that goes beyond expectations and is deeply grounded in hospitality. I love making couples and their guests feel seen, understood, and genuinely cared for. Being trusted to guide their #bestdayever and turn a wedding wish into something real is the reason gemma&co exists today.

gemma&co events is rooted in hospitality with personality, driven with design. We want YOU and your guests to feel thought-of, creating an immersive experience with meaning.

Going beyond the signature cocktails and color palette, every choice is made with a purpose. Being a boutique studio, you get to work with me (hi!) from-start-to-finish, allowing me to truly understand you both as a couple.

We partner with the bold, romantic couples who embrace fresh concepts and want a celebration that feels like them, not just what’s trending or expected.

If you’re the couple: not scared to step-out-of-bounds, willing to trust the process (and loves animals!) it is SO nice to meet you! Your engagement era is meant to be fun and exciting, so let us give that to you.

During COVID times I was laid off, so I was able to Foster Dogs which gave me fulfillment, day-in-day-out.

Traveling is built in my DNA, I’ve been to 25+ countries. I am currently checking-off the list to see ALL (7) World Wonders.

Patrona Coastal Cafe – it has the view and the vibes!

Soft Cat Treats (for Gemma), Pixie’s DetoxifEYE (Caffeinated) Eye Patches, Pilates Socks, anything travel or Philadelphia Eagles related.

gemma’s my former-stray, now beloved cat. I found her outside my first apartment in Tampa (behind Bella’s on South Howard). She’s the actual boss!
