About

The adventure first began in 2011 when I accepted a job with a wonderful wedding coordination company which was originally based out of Atlanta, Georgia. I quickly discovered just how passionate I was for this crazy, whirlwind of an industry and by 2012 I was thrilled to launch Southern Grace Events.


Fast forward to 2016 when I met the Chandler's who were in the process of building Chandler Oaks Barn. Once again, I was offered a dream position. I cheerfully accepted the role as event and venue manger for the sweet Chandler family. We held our first event at Chandler Oaks in March of 2017 and the rest is history.

Planning, designing, organizing details and connecting people brings pure joy into my life and I am so thankful for the gifts, talents and opportunities the Lord has blessed me with.
I truly love what I do.

When you want the best of the best southern grace is your answer

Wow where can I even begin, first of all to get it out of the way I recommend Southern Grace literally a thousand times over! I was told that on your wedding day something will always go wrong, one thing at least but for me this wasn’t true and Stephanie made absolute sure of that. She was truly a blessing to me and my husband on our big day and all the days and months leading up. There was not a single part of my wedding that she didn’t have at least a small finger on. I’m a very detailed oriented person and I wanted everything perfect and Stephanie delivered. When I say I texted her everyday with a question I literally did and never was there anything but a helpful response and a perfect answer. I can’t say enough good things!!! Amy did my flowers and absolutely knocked it out the park, she literally gave me the flowers of my dreams. The whole team at Southern Grace is everything you can want in a wedding planning dream team. My wedding was a fairytale and it’s all thanks to them! I can’t thank them enough! Ladies if you’re getting married in north Florida look no further because there will be no disappointment if you go with the gals at Southern Grace 🤍

The Perfect Day

Southern Grace gave us such a incredible experience from the day one. Amy is responsive, prompt, and all around ON IT. Their business is a well oiled machine and it will show on your wedding day. I gave Amy a few notes and photos of my floral inspiration and she brought it to life even more beautifully than I imagined, somehow she was able to capture my exact dream for them, with very little direction from me. Meghan was so helpful and sweet to us the whole way through and was always there with a quick response when we needed her. They know weddings like the back of their hand and I know you won’t regret it if you decide to use them. If you want to feel supported, taken care of, and treated with such kindness , they’re your girls!

Vendor from heaven

As a professional photographer in the wedding industry for the last 15 years, I have worked with so many different venues and vendors. Chandler Oaks has a dream team there is absolutely nothing that a bride needs on her wedding day that they don’t support. And on top of that, they support all of the vendors as well. Whenever I arrive, they have everything ready for me to go and get photographed so the bride doesn’t even have to worry about it. Their timelines always match mine in our perfection giving us all the time we need to photograph the perfect wedding day. They go above and beyond on the day of your wedding to make sure you’re comfortable Relaxed and excited. I’ve watched them come up with a rain plan in 30 seconds. That was even better than the original outdoor plan. I have worked with well over 150 venues in my career and hundreds of planners and this level of service is so unique , and sadly rare in this industry. I promise you will not regret booking this venue, or their incredible team of planners and vendors.
