I cannot say enough about Cicely and the incredible job she did for us on our wedding day! From start to finish, she exceeded my expectations in every way.

Cicely was professional, helpful, attentive, and truly went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. My family spoke so highly of her throughout the day and kept mentioning how helpful and professional she was. That meant so much to me because I was able to relax and enjoy my wedding knowing things were being handled. She handled everything with such grace and professionalism, and we are truly grateful.

Cicely is so great at what she does. From initial first contact, she was upfront with her pricing and was helpful at selecting the best package for our needs. We were planning for 125 guests from across the country, and Cicely put us at ease from the beginning. She had a great team of recommended vendors, and provided honest feedback on other vendors we saw online. Cicely pulled together a great vendor team that was fun to work with, and created the best day of our lives! She was quick with communication, met with us for an in person venue tour, and met with us virtually to nail down specifics as we approached the day. The weeks leading up to our wedding she kept us sane with our crazy family members, communicated directly with vendors, and ensured we stayed on budget even with last minute changes we requested. The day of Cicely handled it all we literally just showed up to have the most fun day with our guests. Cicely will ensure your priorities are taken care of, exceed your imagination on the design, and hold your hand when you get overwhelmed. She should be your first vendor to lock down.

Cicely was amazing! She helped me get my wedding together, coordinated all the vendors and made it look exactly how I wanted. Her coordination allowed me to enjoy the day and be the bride. I’d recommend Cicely and Graceful Gatherings to anyone hosting an event!

Cicely was a god-send for our wedding! We planned a 150-person celebration in Las Vegas from home in LA, and Cicely had great local contacts, very helpful insight, and just a well-curated overall process. You could tell she truly cared and we always felt heard. Our guests have consistently been raving about the event to us. We had a ton of elements in the mix: Indian, Moroccan, Jewish, same-sex, and working with a full-service venue that generally doesn’t have modifications/additions to the extent that we did. Our planning sessions with Cicely were informative and thorough, and on the day of the event everything was in great control. Several guests pointed out how well organized it was, and our family even told us they appreciated Cicely’s direct and confident responses when they needed anything. So thankful to have our special day go even beyond what we initially expected!

Cicely and the team did an incredible job making our day stress free and beautiful.

We booked "day-of" services, but she truly started pitching in and taking stuff off my plate a few weeks before then. She had ideas and suggestions for things I hadn't even thought about and was very available and communicative.

We had a few things we wanted done a little differently, and she thoughtfully and carefully executed each element.

Finally, on the day of, it was so, so, so nice to have her there to manage the other vendors and get all the decor and other elements all set up. She'd worked with most of the vendors before, which made it so easy day of. She brought the vision to life, and made necessary last-minute adjustments without stressing us out.

Cicely and her team made our day amazing and smooth, and I highly recommend hiring her. You can be confident it is money well spent.

We went with Graceful Gatherings for our day of coordination needs, and it was the best decision we could've made! Cicely was BEYOND helpful and accommodating in helping us navigate planning a wedding from another state, and I honestly could not have pulled it off without her. She made the venue into everything we could've ever asked for all the way down to the tiny details, and the night was absolutely perfect all thanks to her amazing help and expertise. I never thought i'd be calm and collected on my wedding day, but I was because of Cicely.

100000000/10 would recommend Graceful Gatherings!!

Cicely helped make our wedding at The Smith Center truly unforgettable! The day exceeded our expectations in every way possible, and Cicely and her team played a huge part in that. Her professionalism, organization, attention to detail, and willingness to go above and beyond took so much of the stress off our plate! She put together detailed timelines and coordinated with all of our vendors. On the day of, Cicely and her team ensured that everything ran smoothly -- we didn't have to worry about anything! They even did the little things, like swap out some wilting flowers with fresh ones. We cannot recommend Cicely highly enough!!

We hired Cicely for her partial planning services and it was one of our best decisions in our wedding planning process. Not having any close girlfriends or family in town I knew I'd want someone to bounce ideas off of and talk to about all the pretty design things. My now husband really wanted someone to help out on the day of in case anything went wrong. Cicely delivered on both! She helped me design a beautiful wedding and was great for recommending vendors and settling debates. But she really shined on the day of our wedding when our venue changed our ceremony site last minute and she calmed us down and got us back on track to enjoy our day. We would not have been able to pull off any of it without her. Highly recommend hiring Cicely for your wedding!

Hiring Cicely for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made! She is very easy to work with, has a gentle and direct communication style, and is highly organized. Cicely guided us when we needed it, while allowing us to make our own decisions. Day of, Cicely and her team at Graceful Gatherings particularly shined with their attention to detail, efficiency, and execution. We felt totally at ease and taken care of relying on them to make our vision come to life. Cicely exceeded our expectations; run, don't walk to book Cicely!
