Hi, I’m Gianna! Event leader, author, strategist, athlete and Mom. I want to help you plan events by design, not default.
Gianna is a consummate professional and veteran in the events industry. When working with Gianna, you can expect direct communication, a cohesive and balanced lens and expert insights. Her ability to evaluate client and project needs then guide clients & her team effectively is remarkable. Gianna is truly a fantastic leader, and leads with kindness, respect and ingenuity. - Kristin Lauria, CEO Event Connect LLC
This course is filled with real life experiences and lessons learned that would help any event planner to produce a successful event. There is so much detail that it could also be use as a course syllabus for event planning at a University level hospitality program.

This was a great course, full of really insightful and practical information. I've been in this crazy industry for a long time and this course really tells the whole story from beginning to end. I like that is a handy reference for someone just getting started or as a guide for a seasoned veteran. Gianna has done a wonderful job here. It's a must for any aspiring or established event planner.

In Million Dollar Event Planning Career, Gianna demystifies the process, challenges and joys of event planning at the highest level. Of course, she comes to the table as a highly seasoned professional, but she delivers incredible information that can be applied to a large event or the most intimate dinner at home, interchangeably. She makes it clear that events are not "easy," but she is so generous with her experience and has so clearly outlined an effective work flow and process that her words will truly inspire even the novice.
What I did not expect from this course was that it would be such an empowering guide to leadership, communication, partnership and visionary thinking. Whether interested in an events career or simply a leadership role in any kind of organization, Gianna provides inspiration and clarity for the most basic and effective interpersonal skills that are central to any great working relationship. That's a truly unexpected bonus, and I recommend this course whole heartedly.-David S
The course does an excellent job marrying theory and practice and should be part of any event planner's curriculum.
