Lemiga Events

If you are wavering on hiring a wedding planner--DON'T! Just do it. I am in the wedding business, and have been for five years, but hiring Michelle Gainey was a no-brainer. Not only did she bring an incredibly talented design eye to the table, but her organization to the task and dedication to the bride is something I don't think exists with a lot of other planners in the city. She was just as excited about my big day as I was, and that goes a long way in the world of wedding vendors, when it is really easy to feel like another contract in their book. Michelle was ready to put out fires, calm down my anxiety, solve problems and creatively work with my budget. She gave me practical options and blew me away with the team she put together. Never once on my big day was I worried about anything going wrong. I didn't even have the chance to. She ran the show seamlessly from behind the scenes. Her togetherness gave me the confidence to be a bride who thoroughly enjoys her big day, rather than just get through it. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending her to another bride.

Michelle Gainey of Lemiga Events was a wonderful wedding planner. I was the type of bride that was unresponsive due to my extensive travel schedule in and out of the country. This means that I relied on Michelle for most of the communications with vendors. She was always helpful and her attention to detail regarding the decorations was outstanding. She really knows how to remain calm even in very difficult situations and the finished product was beyond my own dreams. I had an excellent experience and would refer her to anyone considering having a wedding.

Michelle was attentive to my vision and ensured that my dream wedding day became a reality.

If there's one thing that I can say about having Lemiga Events do my wedding planning is that it was definitely worth it! Michelle has developed great relationships with many vendors and they all work together to create art. I was absolutely blown away when I saw the way Michelle put the whole design together. Anyone could walk in the room and be able to tell that it was my and my husband's personality. The level of professionalism that her and her team have is not common. I really felt that they had everything under control. I can literally write paragraphs about how pleased I am. I cannot rave enough. Put that one day that you only get once in the hands of someone that you can trust. Thank you Michelle.

Lemiga Events provided wedding coordination and event design services for my wedding. We worked with Michelle Gainey and her team for a little over a year to plan the wedding. The end result was a fabulous wedding and rehearsal dinner that were well-designed and coordinated.

The planning process was difficult at times due to communication challenges with the Lemiga team, which resulted in some missed deadlines and over-budget expenses. However, overall, the outcome was awesome. Michelle handled obstacles with professionalism. She advocated for us with vendors (because the wedding industry is fierce!), she coordinated vendors who could produce our wedding vision, and on the wedding day, if anything bad happened, I didn’t know about it. The process had its bumps in the road, but the wedding was a great success.

Michelle and her team were amazing! They really made our wedding day fabulous! They were always there when we needed them, and kept everything moving at just the right pace! Michelle made us feel so comfortable and completely relaxed! Also, in the two months leading up to the wedding, her advice, expertise, reassurance and help coordinating vendors was beyond wonderful! We absolutely loved everyone on her team!

Michelle is an incredibly organized wedding planner who truly listens to your vision for your wedding day. She keeps all the other vendors on track to make sure your day is successful. Although I am very organized, it was wonderful to have someone like Michelle on my team who made sure everything was just the way I would have done it myself. Michelle has a great eye for detail and went above and beyond what we had expected. She focused on the little things so we could enjoy ourselves on our wedding day.

Michelle Gainey of Lemiga Events made our dream wedding come true! Everything was absolutely gorgeous and even better than we ever envisioned. As an out-of-town couple, Michelle assisted us with every step of the wedding design process and vendor selections. Her professionalism and knowledge of the wedding industry proved invaluable as we had to maximize every planning visit. Like most brides, I expected wedding planning to be a stressful process, but I can honestly say that I experienced no stress and I give Michelle, Lemiga Events, and StudioWed vendors all the credit. She receives my highest recommendation, with no reservations.

Michelle is an excellent wedding planner. She always kept me on track, and she made sure I met all of my deadlines. My wedding day was seamless, everything ran according to schedule. And my guests were completely amazed. They all had so much fun. I completely credit Michelle for keeping things so organized.

I really do not know how we would have survived planning our wedding if we did not have Michelle Gainey of Lemiga Events. She literally was a godsend! She made everything so organized and easy (well, as easy as you can make planning a wedding!). Her responsiveness to issues, concerns, and questions was unmatched. She literally would respond to our emails and questions within minutes, which always made us feel at ease knowing that we had someone looking out for our best interest. I really feel like Michelle and Lemiga Events went above and beyond their duties with our wedding. The outcome far surpassed our expectations. Everything turned out more beautiful than we ever could have imagined! Lemiga really helped create a memorable and gorgeous wedding. We couldn't have asked for better service, professionalism, and quality.

Michelle did a great job planning our wedding and making everything we desired come alive! I've heard stories of people not really understanding what wedding planners do and can't see the value in it. I found my experience with Lemiga to be the opposite. Michelle made the difficult phone calls and organized everything perfectly for us. My advice to new brides would be if you choose to go with a wedding planner, don't feel like you have to sit back and let them do all the work when you're itching to jump in there with your own opinions and creative ideas. After all, it is your wedding and you'll feel better knowing that you significantly contributed to making your wedding day magical!

People are still talking about my wedding saying it was the most organized wedding they have been to. They were really impressed and Michelle and her team did a wonderful job. I was not worried one minute about anything. They handled everything very well. Thank you so much. Great job!

Hire a coordinator - biggest piece of advice. They think of things you cannot think of, even if you have a catering director helping with the reception. Tamara worked with us since we only needed help with the ceremony. We had to move the ceremony inside five hours before the start time and no one would have known - she took care of everything and neither me nor my family or attendants had to worry about a thing.

Michelle, we enjoyed working with you and team..... If I had to do it all over again, I would have purchased your highest priced package and let you take the lead on everything! The wedding was a huge success and we owe you a great deal of thanks. I am dropping a little note to you in the mail this week....

The wedding was more than we had ever imagined it would be... It was beyond PERFECT! We miss you! Talk soon....

My wedding day was "PERFECT". My coordinator organized the entire event. She communicated with ALL the vendors, on a regular basis.

As I took my walk down the aisle and noticed that a plain theather room had been transformed into a Beautiful-Beautiful Santuary. (Breathtaking)

As I entered into the "Beautiful" ballroom, words cannot begin to describe the amazement that I saw with my eyes......All I can say is WOW!!!! I knew in my heart it all because of my coordinator.....She made my wedding day Beautiful, & Elegant, and that is EXACTLY what I wanted.....

Thank you Michelle & Staff,

Mrs. Les Cason

Michelle is an awesome and wonderful person to work with. She is very creative and very visual in what she does. She is the best wedding planner ever! She will definitely make your dream come alive. I'm so glad to say that Lemiga Events was who helped me with all my wedding needs.

I hired Michelle Gainey of Lemiga Events to assist with my wedding planning and decor and she exceeded my every expectation. I just can't say enough good things about her. She is professional, personable, organized, smart, creative, open minded, punctual, communicates well, and everything else you could possibly hope for in a wedding planner/event designer. I mean every word of that. Only because of her did my wedding "dream" come to reality. She helped me with every step of the way, listened to my ideas and shared ideas of her own, attended vendor meetings with me and explained things about the wedding industry and how things work when I didn't understand, gave me her honest and helpful opinion about which vendors to use, made time lines and schedules for my wedding day, and took every ounce of stress off of my shoulders. She was very quick to respond to emails and phone calls (most of the time she was having to track me down, lol, not the other way around). She is worth every penny of her commission/fees and then some. Hire Michelle and I personally guarantee you will not be disappointed. She is the best of the best, no doubt about it.

Mechelle provided exceptional service and helped make the event a wonderful experience!

Lemiga Events planned a bachelorette party and bridal shower for me. She worked so hard to remember every little detail. the venue was amazing and the decorations were far more than what I expected. I would use her service again anytime.

I look forward to every chance I get to work with Michelle at Lemiga Events! I know that not only will the event be gorgeous, but the day will run smoothly. Michelle is creative, has flawless style, and is visionary in helping couples create events that uniquely show their style and personality. And she has a great, calm demeanor that allows her to handle anything that should come up on the wedding day.

Michelle's work is incredible. Not only is she a delight to work with, but she she has such an incredible eye for detail. Highly recommended.

Impeccable attention to detail with an incredible eye for design!

Michelle of Lemiga Events is absolutely awesome! She is a must have for every bride who wants the perfect wedding day. Michelle is always professional, organized and extremely creative. I never hesitate to refer her to not only clients but family and friends. I would have to say that my favorite thing about Lemiga Events is their ability to truly 'transform' a space into the wedding or event venue of your dreams. A+

Wow! That is what I said when I first walked into a wedding that had been designed by Michelle. She is just absolutely magnificent. Her attention to detail, her overall creative vision, and her customer service are unparalleled. As a photographer, it was such a treat to have such beautiful elements to photograph as well as such amazing backdrops for my images. I have been working with Michelle for almost a year and absolutely love what she creates. Anyone can throw a party, but Michelle ads the magic needed to create an atmosphere that is unforgettable. I highly recommend Michelle for any event.
