Michelle Gainey is the owner and lead planner of Lemiga Events and she also owns StudioWed Atlanta. Michelle has been a leader in the wedding industry in Atlanta for years. The busy mom of 2 girls and savvy business owner fortunately has help in the form of her great design and planning team! Read our interview below to learn more.

Q&A with Michelle Gainey:

Where are you based?
Atlanta, GA

Where did the name, “Lemiga”, originate?
I had the vision of one day expanding my business to a team and I did not want my business name to revolve solely around my name. Therefore, I took the first two letters of my name – Lelene Michelle Gainey and came up with LEMIGA.

What type of events do you specialize in? Do you do corporate? Social gatherings? Mainly weddings?
Mainly weddings, but we also do social gatherings like birthday and anniversary parties.

What is Lemiga Events style?
Classic Glam

Congratulations to newlyweds Ashley and James! A couple who truly have a fated love story – meeting for the first time a year prior to forming the friendship that blossomed into a relationship.  A couple whose love was sealed with heartfelt vows on May 17, 2013.

The team of StudioWed vendors that worked together to create ‘the perfect day’ for Ashley and James certainly created a picturesque wedding for the beautiful couple! With Michelle Gainey of Lemiga Events taking the reins as the planner, every detail was on point and customized to the bride and groom’s wants.  Michelle negotiated every contract, coordinated every meeting, and seamlessly pieced every aspect together on the big day, so that the couple could soak in every gorgeous detail!

With the amazing duo at Project Duo Photography capturing every special moment, Ashley and James tied the knot and celebrated their new found happiness with friends and family late into the night at The Biltmore Ballrooms, Atlanta.

All in attendance were looking dapper, especially the groom, in his custom made tuxedo from The Modern Gent!

But, none was as stunning as the bride, as she looked like a princess(straight out of a fairy tale!) and lit up the room on her wedding day!

The reception was almost as radiant as the bride due to the great work of Unique Event Elements.  They created a reception space that glowed almost as beautifully as the bride and groom!

And to top off the celebration was a sweet surprise from Perfect Wedding Cake – a stunning modern, sparkling, peach wedding cake!

Ashley and James have said that they are so thankful for all of the vendors that helped to achieve their vision for their wedding! As Ashley and James experienced, and as you can see in these photos, all of the vendors use their own special skills to make a couple’s wedding dream come alive!

We at StudioWed are very excited to share with you, the wonderful work of Perfect Wedding Cake!

Ramona, owner and proprietor of Perfect Wedding Cake, remarks on her website, “I would love to make just one part of your wedding day be more than you imagined.” From designing a simple wedding cake to an extravagantly themed cake, the talented team at Perfect Wedding Cake will customize a cake for your special day!

Perfect Wedding Cake serves not only brides but also special events and publications (They have done work for Macy’s, Tyler Perry, and even some TV shows and magazines- you can see one below!). By bringing detail and creativity to every cake, Perfect Wedding Cake creates a beautiful, sweet dessert for every client.

Here you can see Ramona and Perfect Wedding Cake spotlighted on the TV show ‘Get Married!’

So, you guys know I love to brag on my team here at the studio. Not only am I just constantly in awe of the coolness factor that they bring to the room, but they seriously deliver on the quality of their products.

The team at  P3 Lab gets their name from their repututation –  POSH, PRETTY & PERFECTION.

They’ve got a unique style catering toward the trendy, couture client. They provide services for not only brides, but also high fashion projects and special events (In fact, they did some of the work on the Real Housewives of Atlanta and the brand-new Big Rich Atlanta!). P3 Lab brings out the inner beauty of any client, creating a perfect formula for an absolutely flawless look.
