The dream team for our wedding day

The Trace Events team was an absolute joy to work with, and made our wedding 100% worry-free. We are SO GRATEFUL for Brittany's support in our month of / day of coordination. She is kind, professional, and a true wedding expert. Brittany met with us multiple times online and in person over a 2+ year engagement and over multiple date changes. She immediately made us feel at ease and like there was nothing that could go wrong. She is empathetic and professional, making sure everything goes well from behind the scenes. I was so grateful for her coordination of all of our vendors and contracts, creation of a minute by minute timeline, and patience in answering all of our questions (and all of our family's questions!). She made sense of every detail and my husband and I were in awe of how much she supported us. She was always accessible and happy to work with us - no question was too big. This team truly goes above and beyond, and I cannot recommend them more wholeheartedly.

Best Experience Ever

Tracy and her team made our wedding better than we could have ever imagined. Working with Tracy is the hands down, number one, best decision I made during the entire wedding planning process. The moment I met her and Brittany, we instantly clicked! We worked together for almost two years while planning my wedding, and I now consider them friends. Tracy kept me on track through everything. She was on top of every single detail and made all of my dreams come true. She and her team allowed myself, my husband, and our families to enjoy the engagement and the wedding day without stress. We had a major COVID related change happen with our venue and Tracy went above and beyond to get us through the transition. She reached out to countless back up venues on short notice to give me all my options. I trusted her vision implicitly. We were immediately on the same page and I was able to let her run with many aspects of the wedding, knowing she would absolutely communicate my desires to all of the vendors. Tracy managed an insane amount of contracts for me. She did research of many options before we settled on each vendor. I always valued her opinion on who would be the best person to work with. The day of was like a well oiled machine because of her incredible planning. She was so much more than a wedding planner. She was my hype girl, my rock, and an empathetic listener through everything. I wish I could work with Tracy again and again and again. The wedding day was beyond perfect, all because of Tracy and her team. I could never thank them enough.

Best Decision EVER!

I cannot recommend Trace Events enough. We worked with Brittany, who was our Month Before/Day of Coordinator and it was easily the best decision we made throughout the entire wedding planning process. Our venue provided an event coordinator and my husband was skeptical if we needed a Day of Coordinator because of this. After having to reschedule the event multiple times due to COVID, we contacted Trace Events about their services. For the entire month leading up to the wedding, my husband would comment at least once a day about how great of a decision it was to work with Brittany. She answered every question we had promptly, helped us figure out all of the details you never even think of, and did a wonderful job communicating with us and our vendors. We no longer live in the Detroit area and she put every concern I had about planning a wedding from across the county at ease. Our day was perfect and all of the details were executed exactly as we discussed. Besides being great at what they do event wise, Brittany is one of the nicest people I have ever met. She calmed me down, while still making sure everything was going according to plan. My only regret is not working with Trace Events sooner, they are absolutely wonderful!
