The Greatest Graces

Where do I begin with this gal. Grace is the real deal. As a venue, we see it all—but she’s the full package and ridiculously good at what she does. It’s no surprise that so many of our couples choose her to bring their vision to life—she makes the planning process seamless, the end result unforgettable and is absolute joy to work with. That girl puts the work IN and she just genuinely cares. Any time we see her name on the books, we know it’s going to be a smooth, stunning day.

Grace is professional, organized, trend-savvy, calm under pressure, a true listener and clear communicator and always five steps ahead. Every detail is handled with style and speed, and somehow she still manages to make it all fun.

One of the things I really love about Grace is her uncanny read on people—it's like she has a sixth sense for what her couples need. Whether it's talking through tricky family dynamics or just sensing when someone needs a deep breath and a glass of champagne, she’s that person—she anticipates needs before they even arise and communicates clearly and efficiently. She listens to both her couples and her vendor team, and that kind of collaborative energy is invaluable in this industry. Grace is good people, her vibe is contagious and she does what it takes to make your day smooth like buttah.

100% recommend!

Grace planned our August wedding in my parents' backyard, which proved to be just about the most difficult location possible for a wedding. The house is on a one-way road, there's no parking, and there's no grass to stake a real tent. She handled every hurdle that came her way with ease, and never made me compromise on my vision. She worked with us collaboratively to handle constraints from my parents, disputes with neighbors, and requests from vendors. Every vendor that I hired commented to me that Grace was such a pleasure to work with, and I couldn't agree more! Not only is she a whiz with logistics, but she also has impeccable taste. I came up with the idea to serve french fries in silver cups a few weeks before the wedding, and she leaned allll the way in to make sure it happened. The morning of the wedding she was personally draping fabric and setting up decor to make sure that it looked exactly how we had decided. Most importantly, she made sure that I stayed realistic throughout the process. She knew that bad weather on the was my biggest fear on the wedding day, so she made sure that we had Plans A, B and C in place to handle any weather event. Planning a wedding is infamously not very fun, but Grace somehow made it A LOT of fun. I'm so grateful that I found her and I miss her terribly now that the wedding is over. Hire Grace to plan your wedding - I promise you won't regret it!

Amazing Grace!

Working with Grace truly made for a wonderful wedding planning experience. She helped us get started by helping us pick the best vendor team. As the wedding got closer she helped us organize our timeline and helped managed vendor communication. She was incredibly responsive and flexible. Day of - holy moly - Having Grace present on our wedding day was like having my best friend by my side to make sure everything ran smoothly and help with whatever we needed. Grace and her team are gems and any bride would be lucky to work with them - totally worth the investment.

Above and beyond!

The most important person at our wedding was Grace. Her services go way beyond what most planners offer. She's worth every penny! Grace coordinated a timeline for our wedding, communicated with all our vendors, worked closely with the venue and the wedding party to produce the most spectacular, and magically entertaining wedding. Grace will create and print a booklet of your timeline and share it with your wedding party, with the venue and with each of your vendors so that everyone is aware of exactly what to do and exactly what time to do it. The timeline Grace created worked perfectly! We cherished every moment of our wedding because of Grace. With a calm demeanor and an acute attention to detail Grace coordinated an outdoor wedding ceremony in December in front of Beluga whales, Santa Claus at the ceremony, a Christmas light show, a Sea lion show and a cocktail hour with Penguins. I had three wedding dress changes, a dress for the ceremony, a dress for the cocktail hour and a dress for the reception and Grace made me feel like a celebrity bride while she flawlessly managed all 3 of my wardrobe changes including dresses, crowns, veils, hats, shoes, ostrich feathers, furs, boots and a scepter. Grace was meticulous with my decorating plans, which required outdoor ceremony decorations, cocktail hour decorations, and reception decorations. Grace went above and beyond and extended her service to assist us with an issue at our hotel. We were grateful for how she resolved the issue . We did not have to worry about 1 single thing with Grace as our wedding planner. Hire Grace and you will relax, enjoy and cherish every moment of your wedding.

my Saving Grace

Good Graces doesn't cut, I actually call her Amazing Grace and my Saving Grace. As an event planner getting married, I hired Grace so I could enjoy my own wedding as if I were a guest. Grace took the wheel -- she's methodical, thorough, calm, and always had my best interest in mind. If you're interviewing Grace, throw any question at her. She's prepared, she's ready and she maneuvers changes seamlessly. My wedding went better than planned and I'm already trying to find excuses to work with Grace again. Our families have not stopped praising her and I would recommend and refer her over and over and over again. Thank you so much Grace!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
