Gerilyn Gianna Event and Floral Design is:
Gerilyn Gianna
President and Lead Designer
Born in the Philippines, raised in Italy, and educated in the United States, Gerilyn Gianna is truly an international and diverse person of influence. Her current love of events and floral design began while she was living in Italy at La Chiesa di San Giorgio (St. George's Church), which was famous for weddings. Every weekend, she would wait outside the church with her friends just to get a glimpse of the beautiful bride and ceremony. This sparked the dream of weddings, design, and love.
While living in the US, Gerilyn completed her studies at Northwood University, earning a degree in Hospitality Management. From there, she worked with the world-famous Chef Daniel Boulud as an event planner as well as the prestigious Governors Club, both in Palm Beach, Florida. Her real-life experience, combined with education and professional experience, has set her apart by the service and value she adds to her clients.
Her desire is to give the best service by putting her client’s wants and needs above herself. Gerilyn has never followed trends; she strives to set them with her specialized designs and 5-Star service. Furthermore, she credits her success, gifts, and talents to her faith and service, and is very involved in nonprofits, mentors couples for marriage, and teaches classes with her husband at Christ Fellowship Church in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. What was once a one-woman show has now become a family business as Gerilyn is surrounded by an incredible team, family, and child who frequently shows up to work as well!
David Kosberg
Director of Business and Events
David grew up in a family of business professionals focusing on real estate and the private money sector. He learned from a young age what it takes to start a business, motivate and train staff, and propel businesses to new heights. David was educated at California State University in Los Angeles, focusing on business administration, and moved on to the California School of Culinary Arts, where he prepared to be a world-class chef, manager, and restaurateur. From there, he went to work for many hotels and restaurants coast to coast and ended at the Ritz Carlton in Palm Beach.
In 2005, David took on a new business challenge, leaving the hospitality industry to start his own real estate investment and lending business as a licensed real estate and mortgage professional. While continuing this, the pull toward hospitality and events remained strong, and in 2009, David joined the team at Gerilyn Gianna Design, helping manage the business and expand the company for Gerilyn. This allowed her to place her focus directly on her clients and floral designs.
David is 5-Star service-oriented and believes that delivering the best service in the industry today sets us apart. Not only do our clients give our team rave reviews, but the vendors that work with us do so as well. His belief and ultimate goal are to value people and to add value to others through training, education, and personal service.
