the moment I have a passion for special moments. I live for that moment when all the months, days, and hours we’ve spent preparing come together on the wedding day. ...The moment the bride sees her husband for the first time ...The moment we reveal the reception that is just pure magic, and the guests gasp when they walk into the room ...The moment my bride takes it all in, and realizes her day is everything and more than what she had envisioned it would be ...The moment my couple rides off happily exhausted after their wedding exit Photo by Ross Oscar Knight
the essence I have a passion for people. I enjoy guiding my clients through the wedding planning process and being able to take their initial vision to a whole other level. My clients know that I get them as I describe to each vendor, their desires, passion, color scheme, dislikes and vision. I want my clients' experience working with me to be magical and memorable. I want them to feel cared for, thought about, and considered. I want them to know how important their wedding is to me. Photo by Jamie Howell
dream together, create together I am passionate about my creative team. I believe my creative team is a key part of my client’s experience planning a wedding. The vendors I select to join in this process should be just as excited as I am about the wedding. They treat my clients with respect and strive to always think outside the box when bringing the design vision to life. My creative team pushes me to be better, to think bigger, to know there is no impossible – we dream together and create together. We make a beautiful symphony that becomes the wedding day.

glamorous, gorgeous details I have a passion for thoughtful detail Design is an integral part of our company because we use design as our platform to tell our client’s story. No couple is alike and therefore none of our weddings are the same. Our couples want an unforgettable wedding day while still being classic and timeless. Our tools to tell their story are lighting, drape, linen, floral, stationery. By drawing inspiration from our clients, we are able to design a wedding that is authentic and timeless, while still being glamorous and beautiful. Photo by Ross Oscar Knight

client testimonials
Leah & Stephen 9/10/11 Bride: Leah Bryant-Morse Contact email: leah_j_bryant@yahoo.com “Michelle Gainey of Lemiga Events was a wonderful wedding planner. I was the type of bride that was unresponsive due to my extensive travel schedule in and out of the country. This means that I relied on Michelle for most of the communications with vendors. She was always helpful and her attention to detail regarding the decorations was outstanding. She really knows how to remain calm even in very difficult situations and the finished product was beyond my own dreams. I had an excellent experience and would refer her to anyone considering having a wedding.�

She keeps all the other vendors on track to make sure your day is successful. Although I am very organized, it was wonderful to have someone like Michelle on my team who made sure everything was just the way I would have done it myself. Michelle has a great eye for detail and went above and beyond what we had expected. She focused on the little things so we could enjoy ourselves on our wedding day.�
pure fulfillment I am passionate about my family. My 2 daughters inspire me every day. All of the love, hope, and dreams I have for them makes me want to be better so they have an example of living life without fear and not accepting any boundaries. I want to teach them to color outside the lines, to laugh out loud, love with everything, and take every opportunity to live each day to the fullest. And most of all, I want to teach them to follow their passion. Photo by Liana Photography
