Hi there, I’m Gianna—though just about everyone calls me G.

I’m the heart and curator behind Wild & Lovely Events. This company is my "third baby" (right after my role as a wife and mama), born from a lifelong obsession with the way people celebrate. I’m truly honored to be the one who navigates the logistics of your celebration so you can focus on being present.

The Roots of the Craft
My experience started at a young age, washing dishes for my dad’s catering company. Over the last 20 years, I’ve worked every corner of this industry—from country clubs to nearly a decade as the lead event coordinator for Antonio Ayestaran Custom Catering. Having managed over seventy events a year, I’ve seen exactly what makes a day run seamlessly (and how to pivot when it doesn't).

With a background in art and design, I bring a refined eye for color theory and detail to every project. But more than that, I’ve learned that the relationships we build—with couples and fellow vendors alike—are what make this work so sacred.

A Glimpse into My World
When I’m not in "planning mode," you can find me adorned in black and likely barefoot, enjoying a life I truly love. I’m a fan of Earl Grey tea with lavender, making the perfect lemon drop, old-school emo, Frank Sinatra and you can find me singing along to just about anything. I live for traveling with my family, floating on the lake, doing nothing (and everything) with my best friend and camping with our friends that are family.

I often joke that I am the gift you give to yourself and your family. It isn’t just about coordinating a day; it’s about creating a space where your favorite people can truly be in the moment with you.

I simply can't wait to meet you.
