What People Say
"We cannot speak highly enough of Gia and the assistance she provided in planning our wedding. We hired Gia to help plan from start to finish, and it's one of the best decisions we made in our wedding planning process.
We were very overwhelmed with the thought of planning our wedding, because there were SO many details to consider. Gia was instrumental in breaking down each and every detail, and asking us to focus on the big ones first, and then slowly get down to the small details. She was always available and communicative - just what you need when coordinating a wedding. Her ability to gently and calmly pace us through the process was so important, even taking the time to remind us of certain wedding elements that we otherwise would have completely forgotten about. By the time we were a few weeks away from the big day, everything was in place, thanks to Gia.
Needless to say, our wedding day proceeding perfectly as planned, without a hitch, and all because of Gia's amazing timelines and organization. We cannot recommend her unparalleled services enough!"

About Me
My name is Gia Hellwig and my purpose for event planning is creating moments in time for guests to relax, enjoy and forget about the hustle and bustle of life. I'm here to bring your vision to life while you and your guests just be -
be a part of the party, be focused on enjoying the celebration, be the guest of honor.
When I'm not planning events and creating event decor, I can be found enjoying my new home with my honey, enjoying local events with friends and family, traveling and enjoying the great outdoors or crafting and creating.
Professional Bio
I received my Bachelors of Science in Human Development from the University of California, Davis in 2007. I joined Hornblower Cruises and Events, San Francisco, in the fall of 2007. There, I served as the Sales Assistant to the Charter Sales Department, Public Cruise Wedding Coordinator, and Wedding Attendant. Additionally, I assisted with the coordination of the Familiarization Cruises designed to showcase new products (cruise types) to current and potential customers. I worked with the Food & Beverage team, the Entertainment team, the Captain and Crew, and the Event Coordinators.
In 2009, I joined the UC Davis School of Law as the sole Events Manager. Over my nine-year career, I grew the position from a small number of annual events and minimal interaction with the law school’s more than 50 student organizations, to annually managing 75-100 events while also having conceptualized and put into practice direct coordination with the student groups. Additionally, I organized, from start to finish, annual Commencement ceremonies with up to 1,800 guests in attendance.
Throughout the entirety of my career, I have maintained a superb network of qualified vendors. I have personal relationships with restaurants, caterers, rental companies, venues, florists, photographers, high-level security details and more.
Lastly, I also maintained outside, independent contract work planning celebratory events, Mary Kay Skincare Experience events, and weddings.
