Georgia Grace — thank you!

I could not have imagined my wedding day coming together like it did without the help of Heather and Mary Ellen. I really appreciated all of the time and energy Heather put into making my day exactly what we wanted. She helped walk us through the process and made everything less overwhelming. Her experience and suggestions were so helpful in guiding us on making decisions for our own day. The day of our wedding was perfect - some of my favorite photos were candids Mary Ellen & Heather took and shared with me. I was able to enjoy every second of our wedding, knowing the plans were in good hands. I highly recommend using Georgia Grace, thank you ladies for all you did to make our day memorable.

You need Georgia Grace Weddings!

Working with Melissa at Georgia Grace Weddings was a dream! I was a Type A bride who thought she had everything handled, but I 100% could not have done it without Melissa. She already had amazing relationships with vendors and always had an answer to every question I threw her way. Couldn’t have asked for a better coordinator!

Mary Ellen at Georgia Grace Weddings (Perfect Planner)

Mary Ellen with Georgia Grace Weddings was the absolute perfect wedding planner of my dreams. I contacted Mary Ellen with just under two years to go for my wedding. I was not local to Athens where we were having the wedding so it was important to me to find a local planner. Mary Ellen was so connected in the city and helped me find the most incredible vendor team. The weeks leading up to the wedding Mary Ellen was in constant contact with me and was always there for me. On the day of the wedding she was a true rockstar. I never knew of any mishaps or anything that happened. She let me be in the moment and enjoy my special day. Mary Ellen now means so much to my husband and I and I hope to stay in contact with her for years to come. You would never regret hiring her for your wedding.

Mary Ellen Was Awesome!

We cannot say enough good things about the quality of the service provided by Mary Ellen Baker at Georgia Grace Weddings. She treated my daughter like her own - taking care with every detail that mattered to us. She immediately rectified the ONLY issue we had a few days before the wedding by being firm with a vendor about what their contract required. On the day of the wedding, every time I turned around there she was! Once again she made sure every detail was executed as planned and that nothing spoiled our bride's day. I would HIGHLY recommend Mary Ellen and Georgia Grace for your wedding planner needs. We LOVE her!

The best there is

Mary Ellen is just simply the best! I am so thankful for her and her team. Hiring Georgia Grace weddings was truly was the best decision I made during our wedding planning process.They are the best to work with and helped me bring my dream wedding to life. As someone who tends to procrastinate, I needed someone to keep me organized and make sure I stayed on track. Mary Ellen handled all that seamlessly, never making me feel stressed or behind. She managed all the little details I hadn’t even considered. On my wedding day, Mary Ellen and her team were absolutely amazing!! They were always ready to assist with anything I needed..sometimes they just knew what I needed before I even did, ha! Their hard work and dedication made the day run smoothly and effortlessly...even when my dad throws a curve ball and dosen't tell anyone (even Mary Ellen until day of maybe even right before) that our getaway "ride" was a helicopter, ha! I highly recommend Georgia Grace Weddings to any bride looking for a wedding planner. I can not thank Mary Ellen and her team enough for everything they did for me!

Mary Ellen is a dream ✨

I simply cannot describe how truly grateful I am that Georgia Grace and Mary Ellen came into my husband and I’s life and planned our wedding. This day would not have happened without her and she was my wedding fairy godmother. She stood by my side the entire year and a half we planned our wedding and she wore ALL of the hats from therapist, to friend, to the wedding planning guru with the steady hand that helped guide our decision making process. Everyone was shocked I was so calm on wedding day, but I wasn’t. I knew Mary Ellen and her team had everything handled and she executed the day with professionalism and poise, even when faced with difficult situations and different family dynamics and personalities. I was permitted to just be the bride and it was the happiest day of my life, in large part thanks to her. We love her dearly and future brides would be absolutely remiss if they didn’t hire her to plan their dream day.

A fantastic experience

Mary Ellen and the team at Georgia Grace were absolutely fantastic to work with. They listened to our ideas and provided excellent consultation on how to best execute our plans. Mary Ellen has great contacts across the industry and helped introduce us to fantastic bands, vendors, etc. On wedding day, she was in control. Her team kept us on schedule. The wedding weekend for our daughter' and son-in-law was nearly flawless -- and we will always appreciate the team at Georgia Grace for their tireless work and attention to detail.
