HI! I'M SAMM! 👋 gemma&co events is a Tampa Bay based wedding and event planning studio specializing in thoughtful details, fresh concepts, and celebrations that feel deeply personal. We partner with bold, romantic couples who value connection, creativity, and intentional design.

That consistency allows me to truly understand your vision and priorities, so together we can create a day that feels authentic and as the girls say—SO you!

In three words: Collaborative, Creative, Thoughtful

    The best!!

    I can’t recommend Samm enough. While she was actually one of my bridesmaids, she also happens to be an incredible wedding planner, and I was lucky enough to benefit from her expertise throughout my entire planning process. She went on venue tours with me, helped me think through how my vision would actually come to life in each space, and patiently answered the millions of questions that come up when you’re planning a wedding. She has such a great eye for detail and design, but what I appreciated most was how thoughtful and practical she was when helping me make decisions. Even though she wasn’t officially my planner, she made the entire process feel less overwhelming and so much more fun. Any couple would be incredibly lucky to have her guiding them through their wedding planning. She truly cares about making each wedding special and personal.

    Wedding Day Coordinator

    I don’t know where to begin. I truly can’t recommend Samm enough. I had her as my day of coordinator but she really went above and beyond, it felt like she was my whole wedding planner. She listens to your ideas and brings them to life. The day of the wedding was smooth as could be I didn’t lift a finger or worry about a thing. She took the day I’ve dreamt of since I was a child and made it seamless. I can’t imagine ever having a wedding without her by my side!!

    Best wedding planner in Tampa Bay!

    Samm was amazing to work with while planning our wedding. She didn’t miss a single detail and was always there to help with anything we needed. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and such a pleasure to work with. We couldn’t recommend her more!!!

    Wedding

    I cannot say enough amazing things about Samm. From the very beginning, she answered every single question with patience, clarity, and genuine care. On the wedding day itself, I didn’t have to think about anything and that is the greatest gift you can give a bride. I knew without a doubt that she had everything covered. She handled every detail seamlessly, kept everything running smoothly, and did it all with such calm confidence. Our guests are still raving about how incredible she was and how smoothly the day went because of her!! You could truly feel how much she cared about our wedding and about us, and for that, I am forever grateful. If you’re considering hiring her, do it because she will treat your day like it’s the most important one in the world!!
