Gianna and Company - Malibu, California

Jen Chambers

This review is long overdue, but the good people of the world deserve to be lauded and Gianna is truly one of them. My wife and I started our wedding planning by looking for a property in LA, which led us to Gianna's website. After a great phone call where we talked about what we were looking for, we spent a day looking at a handful of properties around town and picked our venue in Malibu.

Both my wife and I worked in production for years, so we naively thought we could DIY our wedding, but quickly realized we were in over our head and asked Gianna for advice. After learning about her own decades of experience in live event planning, live production, and wedding planning we knew we had our perfect partner. We wanted an experienced wedding planner who has been through it all and could handle whatever might come up, so it was not a tough decision. She bent over backwards to make our requests happen, and walked us through the issues when they couldn't (which was rare.) She was a blast at our catering tastings, took detailed notes and handled everything. She introduced us to our amazing florists, lighting, decorators, photographers, and makeup artists, she reminded us of things we didn't even think of, like bringing in extra bathrooms for our guests, and she even secured our venue for a Sunday pool party (don't forget the lifeguards!) the day after our wedding at a big discount. Not only that, but I jokingly said we wanted baby goats at the pool party...AND SHE GOT THEM. I was joking! But we had two adorable baby goats roaming around munching on the grass and it was amazing.

My favorite story is that when we picked our venue, which overlooked the ocean, she told us that if we could pick a date near a full moon that the ocean would sparkle like white diamonds. We factored that into our planning and she was right - it added a truly magical touch. That's attention to detail. Gianna knows the ins-and-outs of how to plan for every aspect of a live event - the things you can anticipate and the ones you can't. We all know that unexpected issues arise, but the real test is how quickly they are handled and Gianna is one of the best - totally unflappable and completely professional. She not only planned a perfect wedding but also an entire 4-day weekend around our wedding and was a joy to work with the entire time - she was always responsible, prompt, responsive, able to pivot on a dime and did it all with a smile. You could tell that the people she works with love working with her, from property owners to vendors to her own staff.

We loved every aspect of planning and executing our wedding with Gianna and highly recommend her to find you any venue and plan any event. She is truly a good person who is great at what she does and we need more people like her in the world.

I have known and worked with Gianna Provenzano since she started her company in 2003. She has successfully produced live events for one of my charities with 200 guest counts and mainstream entertainment and talent. She produced a wedding a couple years ago at my home and she did a great job. Gianna is very detailed driven, organized, respectful and works well with others. She loves challenges and she producers beautiful events.

I have known Gianna for 6 years and she never fails to be the perfect host and professional. She knows how to plan the perfect most beautiful weddings in the Los Angeles area. She not only meticulously reviews every aspect from the rehearsal dinner to the bride and grooms last wave to the crowd on their way to their Honey-moon but all the details that the guests and wedding couple never even see behind the scenes. Gianna is is a wonderful person and her Co is the best. She coordinated a beautiful brunch for me when I was in Los Angeles a couple of years ago. She never fails to go above and beyond. Absolutely the best. I definitely recommend her for all your location and event needs. She is the best!

Gianna and Company have been doing our families events for over 10 years now. Every single event has gone off without ONE hitch!! Gianna is incredible. A true professional with a wonderful heart and soul. Not only does the client come first, but the whole family and extended relatives do, as well. She never complains or says your wildest ideas or dreams can't come true. She and her staff will go above and beyond to make your event run smoothly and be memorable. She charges beyond fairly and works harder than anyone I know in her industry. Every one of her vendors is amazing and she has an incredible relationship with them all. If you have an opportunity to use Gianna and Company for an event - don't hesitate for even a second. You will be in trustworthy, capable hands.

My now wife and I had the absolute pleasure of having Gianna as our month of wedding coordinator. We threw her quick the challenge with a major DIY wedding and moving to a different state 6 months before the wedding. With all that going on she really took the time to make sure all the pieces of the wedding came together. All while being available on the phone to help leading up to the big day. We couldn’t have been any happier the day of! She made sure we stuck to the timeline while allowing us to just enjoy the day. We both would highly recommend using Gianna and company for any life event coordination!

Gianna was our wedding planner in October 2014. She was always available, responded quickly, had great recommendations for venues and vendors, and came to majority of our meetings with vendors. Our wedding was beautiful. Would recommend her over and over again.

Gianna has that spark of life in her that is so contagious. From the moment I started working with her, she always showed a high level of sincerity and interest in giving the best solutions and working until the job was done and the client was totally happy and satisfied no matter how long it took to get things done. Gianna's sense of humor is always on point and in a sticky situation, she knows just what to do to remedy the challenge and deliver a fabulous event!!! Her sense of style is impeccable and her clients know that she will always capture their unique vision.

Gianna helped me with my wedding. Although it was a smaller event, it quickly became obvious to me that there was a LOT to do and that I needed help! Gianna took over and handled ALL the details, and I was able to relax and enjoy our special day. The wedding and reception were beautiful. I’d highly recommend her for any event.
