The best!

True professionals! We seriously could not have had a better experience with Erin from Grace and Gold! She honestly made out wedding what it was and it would not have been the same without her. She is truly the sweetest human ever but the biggest bad ass on the wedding day! She ran the show! our entire wedding process was completely stress free because of her and we were actually able to sit back and ENJOY our wedding instead of stressing about it! Erin was worth her weight in gold and I could not recommend enough! You would be making a mistake if you didn't book them! Erin's day-of assistant, Casey was also the sweetest and they brought such an amazing energy to our big day. Run, don't walk, to book!

Abby was perfection!!

I originally didn't think I needed a wedding planner until I began to FREAK OUT about everything, as I'm sure many brides do! I spoke with Sarah on the phone and absolutely loved how warm and bright she was. She wasn't available for my date but she said that Abby and I would hit it off and I didn't believe her but boyyy did we!! Abby was just as lovely and professional as Sarah was. I looked through plenty of reviews of Grace & Gold and plenty of other planners and I have to say to #1 Go with your gut #2 make sure you mesh well and #3 make sure your planner is REALISTIC. Sarah and Abby were the ONLY planners I had spoken to that were realistic about my expectations but still made my vision come to life in the most beautiful way. I was such a stressed mess with everything and Abby handled it all. I had zero stress on my actual wedding day and that is how it's supposed to be!! I'm so grateful to have found her and to have had her be my sane through everything. Truly from the bottom of my heart I am so thankful for you Abby! Can't recommend these women enough!

Amazing! Truly brought my dream wedding to life!

I cannot say enough good things about Sarah and her event planning company. From the first phone call, she was extremely positive, helpful, professional, and excited to work with me. I hardly had to consider any other wedding planners! The wedding was in Laguna Beach, CA, but during the year of planning we moved to Hawaii, bought our first home, and my husband and I started new jobs. Needless to say, Sarah was incredibly helpful during the whole process. I particularly liked that I was able to show her my pinterest board and then she picked out multiple vendors for each area of the wedding for me to look through. Everyone she recommended was really good! I also never felt any pressure to spend more money than I wanted, and Sarah always provided feedback when needed! In the last month before the wedding, we had a family health crisis that I had to focus on, and Sarah and Erin (the day-of coordinator) completely came in, took care of all the last minute items, and really supported me during this tough time. On the wedding day itself, Erin was extremely professional, calm, friendly, and helpful. Not only did we stay on time, but we were actually early and my husband and I were able to attend our cocktail hour! So many of our guests said this was the best wedding they have ever been too, and I was completely blown away at how perfect it was! Please work with Sarah and Erin if you want personalized and caring wedding planning!
