Gina Sole, The Wedding Planner

Wedding Planner

After dancing 14 years with the Pennsylvania Ballet, owner Gina Sole received a Bachelor Degree in Fine Arts from Moore College of Art and Design in Philadelphia. With a major in Fashion Design, Gina apprenticed with Vera Wang in New York City where she learned the “ins and outs” of both bridal couture and wedding planning.

Eventually, her love of full service event design led her to an assistant planner position with Pomerantz & Company in the Rittenhouse Hotel, Philadelphia. Gina planned swank affairs for the “elite” as well as the “simply stylish” before opening The Wedding Planner on Rittenhouse Square in 2001.

Her company’s work has been featured in many publications including Martha Stewart Weddings, Grace Ormonde and Style Magazine. Gina also currently plans events for brides on the hit television show, “Whose Wedding Is It Anyway?” and is regularly featured on The Style Channel. She’s a city girl at heart and resides in Philadelphia right in the middle of everything—and that’s just the way she likes it. Read more

    I don't even know where to begin. Gina was a total god send, life saver, source of calm/comfort/reassurance through out the final stressful months of wedding planning and the day of for my dad and I. To quote my dad, "Gina was the best money we spent out of this entire wedding." Hire her! She is the greatest and an absolute PRO. ...

    I can't explain how amazing Gina and Meg were. I hired them for month-of planning. Gina helped me plan all of the last minute timing details perfectly (we were planning around a few other big events in Philly). Gina promptly answered all of my frantic emails and also let me pop in for an extra meeting about scheduling (I am very type-A and she helped tremendously). When I found out the week before my wedding that the venue was starting a massive construction project, Gina was there for me every step of the way to make sure everything worked out. The wedding day went off without a hitch thanks to Gina and Meg for being there every second I needed something. 100% worth the money!!!

    I thought the concept of being a guest at your own wedding was a myth. Yet, this was the best wedding I’ve ever been to, and it was my own wedding. Gina knocked this out of the park. Exceeded all my expectations.

    I hired Gina for day-of coordination and 10 hours of wedding planning. It was perfect for me because I’m an intense planner, but I knew there were some aspects of the wedding I didn’t care to do the heavy researching on myself. It was a huge time saver, and removed stress being able to reach out to Gina and say, “do you know a florist in my price range” or “where can we get our make up done in Philly that we can trust," especially planning from NYC. ...

    Oh sure! You can plan your wedding yourself, or can you? Just think about it, venue, florist, photographer, videographer, band or Dj, etc., etc. Of course you can do it, starting with countless research on Internet, read the reviews and go through the process of interviewing these vendors. However it is a lot more to do and you should be able to cross it off the endless list by putting it in a capable hands of a professional planner. ...

    Gina, to quote my now mother-in-law, is a "true gem!" We hired Gina as our day-of coordinator for our May, 2016 wedding. She is an absolute professional with years of wedding experience around the trip-state area--one of the reasons we were drawn to Gina was that she had previously worked with both our reception venue and our slightly quirky ceremony space. From beginning to end, interactions with her were effortless. She was super responsive and was so accommodating of our schedules. ...
