I would like to start off by saying that without Ingrid, we would still be planning our wedding. Without her help, guidance, and her amazing planning and coordinating skills, we would not have had the dream wedding that we did!
From the first meeting with Ingrid, she helped ease the anxiety and stress we felt having to plan a wedding, let alone a wedding out of state. What set her a part from other wedding planners was her ability to help us plan a wedding from the ground up. We utilized her full service option and we worked with her for over a year. She helped us find a beautiful venue in the area we wanted, connect us with an amazing DJ, connected us with a great caterer that fit our cultural needs, an amazing florist, and our officiant as well. Ingrid was also very organized. We met with her monthly and during each meeting we went over what tasks of the wedding planning were done and what are the upcoming tasks that need to be accomplished. She essentially made sure every small detail of the wedding was booked and taken care of. Ingrid's expertise and experience was apparent from the beginning as she went with our vague ideas of what we wanted for a wedding and turned it into something beautiful that we and our families enjoyed.

Overall, I highly recommend Ingrid as a wedding planner. From day one to the day of the wedding, her attention to detail in coordinating every aspect of the wedding helped to take the stress off of us and allowed us to enjoy the moment.

Ingrid and her team of people were so incredibly organized and fun to work with. I would highly recommend her for any of your event needs. No event is to big for her and her team. She and everyone on her team are so detail orientated. They also went above and beyond and completely repurposed a flower arrangment and made something to go on the mantle of venue behind the sweetheart table. They just took the initiative and took a boring single boquet and transformed it.

Ingrid went above and beyond, from the first phone call, to the wedding day itself. She and her team made me feel heard and seen, and absolutely brought my vision to life with every detail. At one point, Ingrid herself provided me security because I became too overwhelmed with all the attention as a bride. I am so grateful for the consistency and empathy that was given to us throughout this process. If I could give 1000 stars, I would. They helped make our special day absolutely unforgettable. Thank you so much Ingrid!!!!

Ingrid and the entire Grand Entrance Affairs team was nothing short of amazing. From start to finish, Ingrid went above and beyond in every possible way. She was incredibly knowledgeable, endlessly friendly, and always prepared with multiple backup plans so we never had to worry about a thing. We had a complicated destination wedding, with a high guest count and multiple moving parts. Despite this, Ingrid never ceased to keep our wants at the forefront, helping us through our self doubt. There were times when it felt so overwhelming and we considered dropping certain parts of our dream wedding--Ingrid would have none of that, doing everything she could to make our dreams come true. Throughout the entire process, we truly felt like she was in our corner, advocating for us and making sure our vision came to life. Hiring her was one of the best choices we made for our wedding—we couldn’t imagine the day without her.

I got engaged in October and booked Ingrid to officiate our micro wedding in November. Working with Ingrid has been very easy and smooth during such a stressful time of planning. She was very accommodating with our busy work schedules. Super attentive and quick with responses with any questions and concerns we had leading up to our special day. Our ceremony was perfect! I would highly recommend Ingrid!

We had the pleasure of operating our photo booth at a beautiful wedding at Proper Hotel Santa Monica on October 25th. From the weeks leading up to the event, Ingrid was an absolute delight to work with — her clear communication, detailed guidance, and professionalism made everything run so smoothly.

The reception setup was stunning, and it was truly heartwarming to see the bride, groom, and guests enjoying and creating joyful memories with our photo booth. We’re so grateful to have been part of such a special day, and we’d love the opportunity to work with Ingrid again in the future!

Ingrid at Grand Entrance Affairs is a must have for your wedding. She not only plans every fine detail with quick communication, but also has a magical talent for problem solving. Furthermore, Ingrid is very caring and thoughtful of your time and experience.
Working with her was smooth and easy.
Would love to work together again!

One of the biggest and often most overlooked factors in hiring a planner is how well the work with other vendors. My company does photo/video/Dj, so working with the planner is one of the most important aspects for us and can really make or break the experience. Ingrid and her team are phenominal to work with, and internally very organized. When looking for a planner, try to see how well they collaborate with other vendors. Highly recommend Ingrid and her team!

Grand Entrance Affairs was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From start to finish, Ingrid and her team were attentive, organized, and incredibly supportive. Her commitment to excellence was clear from our very first interaction, and they remained consistently communicative with thoughtful updates throughout the planning process. Ingrid went above and beyond to make herself available every step of the way—attending our ceremony and reception walkthroughs, and ensuring we were thoroughly prepared from all angles. Her presence on the day of the event brought so much peace of mind, knowing that she and her team had everything under control. The coordination between Grand Entrance Affairs and our other vendors was seamless. Every detail, from décor setup to timeline execution, was handled with care and precision. Because of their dedication, we were truly able to relax and soak in every moment of our special day. If you're looking for a team that is professional, present, and passionate about making your event unforgettable, we cannot recommend Grand Entrance Affairs highly enough. Ingrid and her team are simply phenomenal.

As the officiant, I witnessed firsthand how exceptional Ingrid is as a wedding coordinator. She not only helped me prepare for the ceremony with clarity and care, but also worked side-by-side with the vendors to keep everything running flawlessly. What stood out most was her creativity—her fresh ideas added magic to the day and made the whole event feel unforgettable. Ingrid’s communication style and thoughtful organization make her an absolute joy to work with.
