We highly recommend Grace & Lace for your big day!

We booked Grace & Lace for our November wedding in Richmond, VA. We opted for the Day of Coordination package but their assistance went beyond day of for sure. We really appreciated how Autumn and Darla reached out to us through out the planning process to help us keep on track with everything. They were able to join us on site for our venue walkthrough and through their experience were able to make suggestions to us about the logistics, timing, and general set up that were super helpful! They especially shined on our wedding day and were the reason it went so smoothly, thinking on their feet to make adjustments when necessary, kept us fed, and we were able to simply enjoy the day. Our guests had a great time as well! We highly recommend this awesome duo for your big event!! You'll be in the best hands.

Amazing and supportive

Wedding planning is a crazy experience and my now wife and I hired Autumn and Darla to do month/day-of coordination of our wedding. They were AMAZING. Early on they were available to give ideas, feedback, and suggest vendors which we were arranging ourselves early on, as the wedding approached the had a great wedding portal and some checklists that kept us on track and made sure we had the right details lined up, then on the wedding day they coordinated the hell out of the wedding and everything was LITERALLY PERFECT. We started on time, there was a sense of order and flow, and, best of all, my wife and I actually ENJOYED our day. Literally the best day of our lives. Beyond being great professionals, they are great to work with on a personal level. Calm, warm, supportive, reassuring. 11/10 would recommend a friend.

The Best Wedding Planning Duo!!!

Autumn and Darla went above and beyond for our wedding on 10/16/2021! Autumn and Darla took total control on my wedding day and I was able to fully enjoy the day from start to finish. They were extremely responsive to calls and texts leading up to the wedding and really helped tie the loose ends for things I had not even thought about. They are so kind, genuine, and truly care about making your wedding day flawless! We cannot recommend them enough!!

The Best Mother Daughter Duo

I can't say enough AMAZING things about Grace and Lace. My husband and I, like so many other people, had our wedding plans flipped upside down due to covid-19. We were originally going to Mexico for a destination wedding but switched gears and found an Airbnb to rent out for our big day. I brought all of my plans on very short notice to Darla and Autumn and knew I was in good hands from the first meeting. They helped me coordinate with the remaining vendors on my list and reassured me when I was feeling anxious about it all coming together. They were so attentive to what I wanted and helped bring my vision to life, they thought of little details that hadn't even crossed my mind- making our big day better than I imagined. In the last week leading up to the wedding they handled all of the coordination with our vendor team so I could just relish in those final moments. Towards the end of the planning, Autumn and Darla felt like good friends who I'd known forever. The day of the wedding, I didn't have to worry about a single thing except making it down the isle without tripping! It seriously was the best day of my life and I couldn't have done it without the help of Grace and Lace.
