Alegria was great to work with while planning our wedding ceremony! She is very organized and…read moreprofessional, but is also fun to talk to! We don't live in the area, so our meetings were all via video chat, which worked out really well. She made sure that the ceremony was exactly what we were hoping for! She also arranged our photography, our dinner after the ceremony, and my hair and makeup. Thank you, Alegria, for making the day so magical!

My partner and I are SO HAPPY that we decided to hire Gala Events for our day of coordination…read more Alegria was such a blessing in our experience. I am getting teary even as I write this, thinking of her support. We are a queer couple who's wedding was postponed 2 years in a row due to the pandemic and a medical emergency in the family. We also had to change venues and caterer during all of the challenges. The path to our wedding day was not simple or easy, but Alegria's support and expertise made it all manageable. She was immediately responsive and loving about our concerns related to potential homophobia we might experience through our process. We never once felt othered or treated differently as a queer couple, something we are sensitive to. My spouse is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, and Alegria was immediately honoring and respectful. All of this makes a big difference when you've experienced prior homophobia in the place where you grew up. And when medical emergencies and the pandemic kept throwing up big barriers, Alegria was the calm in the storm. She joined us in grounded decision making, was thoughtful and informed, and really demonstrated so much care during the hard parts. When we had challenges with our past vendors that we ended up not working with, she had such helpful advice. And on our actual wedding day, which was so beautiful and perfect, Alegria joined us in our vision of a big community celebration. She and her staff were so so kind and thoughtful, so supportive. They made us feel special while reducing decision fatigue and stress. She worked with our vendors beautifully, and the day of we were able to truly relax and be present. We could not have asked for better. Thank you, Gala Events!! xo Erin + Ames

We could not have chosen a better catering company to work with! Lauren made the whole process so easy. From our meetings to the "day of" we had great communication and the food was beautiful.

She did our staff dinner for 15 last night and served the entire meal in my home, from gorgeous appetizers to an incredible chocolate dessert, and then cleaned it all up. All I had to do when my guests left was go to bed - and wake up to a clean house the next morning. It was wonderful. It was like having an amazing chef in my home to serve the dinner and then she and her great helper disappeared without a trace.

Andy was very responsive from the first time I reached out, all the way through the process. He was able to work with food allergies, which is a huge plus for me since I was one of those people :) He was also able to modify his menu to accommodate our non-profit budget. The service was amazing from beginning to end. Andy gave us several options to choose from for breakfast. We settled on doing an omelette bar with fresh fruit, homemade baked goods, orange juice, and coffee. You could tell that the ingredients used in the omelette were good quality. I got a bacon omelette with spinach, and Andy did not skimp on any of the ingredients. We had the best reviews about his catering from participants too! Thanks so much Andy and the Citrine Catering team!

This year it was a Holiday Brunch for about 50 volunteers and staff at the Eureka Library on December 12.
