about me
Hey there! My name is Gerad and I'm an event coordinator who lives in Austin, TX. I’m organized, driven and like to ensure my events run perfectly. (I get it from my mama.) ​A theatre kid at heart, I would rather orchestrate a production backstage than be the person in the spotlight. ​
​
I launched my business in November 2021 with one goal: to ensure my clients have a personable, straightforward planning experience and a less stressful event day. To learn more about my coordination style, watch THIS video. ​

ONE FUN FACT ABOUT GFE –
About 75% of my office work happens outdoors. I am most productive with a view of the water or the sound of wind in the trees, often using the hashtag #poolsideplanner. I set aside dedicated blocks of time to work outside, complete with a portable work station.
