I’ve told people many times that hiring Michelle was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. I knew I wanted a “day of coordinator” but most agreed to limited contact within only a month of the wedding. Michelle immediately set herself apart by getting to know our story and introducing the way she works with couples. I was emailing her with questions months out and she always offered timely advice. When it came to executing our vision, she made our wedding look even more beautiful than I pictured. She had every detail nailed down and creatively placed all my decor with minimal direction from me. She handled surprises and changes day of beautifully. She honestly made the experience so much easier to enjoy, instead of stress over. Do NOT skip hiring a planner, but do yourself a favor and hire Michelle!

Michelle made our day flawless. Even with high rain chances, she kept me clam and made sure everything went perfectly. She even thought to bring cute clear umbrellas for us to take photos with! Unlike other "Day of" event planners I talked to, Michelle helped us with anything and everything we needed leading up to the event. She answered our emails quickly, helped me think about the stuff I forgot, and stayed in communication with us from about 6 months out. By the time the wedding arrived I already felt like I had a friend helping get everything organized. She really is amazing and I would 100% recommend her to anyone and everyone.

Michelle will go above and beyond to make sure your day is perfect! She kept in constant contact even though we had only hired her for the day of. I am so thankful for her professionalism and eagerness to help with everything and anything. It was the best weekend ever! Michelle, you are a gem! I couldn't have done it all without you. Thank you for everything!

When my husband and I started planning our wedding last September, we knew two things: we wanted it to be intimate and on a Wednesday. We looked at several venues, caterers, florists, etc. We only looked at one day-of-coordinator, Michelle. Michael and I loved everything Magnolia and Grace represented. I did have to explain to him why we needed a coordinator. We were nervous but hopeful that we would be able to work with her. After meeting with Michelle, Michael looked at me and said, “We have to work with her.” Michelle is hard working and organized and sweet. She is thoughtful and exuberant and just lovely. She strung up 1,000 paper cranes for us! Not only did I work with my dream vendor, I walked away with a lifelong friend. You would be so lucky to work with Michelle and Magnolia and Grace!

I can’t say enough great things about Michelle at Magnolia & Grace events! The second best decision (the first being that I said “yes” to my husband’s proposal…), was hiring Magnolia & Grace to be our wedding planner!

My husband and I tried to be succinct in all of the ways Michelle made not only the wedding experience, dare I say, fun and pleasant?!, but how she was crucial to helping us build our family legacy and perfect wedding day. I could not recommend her more, she is so easy to work with, incredibly professional, kind, detail oriented, emotionally intelligent along with being creative and thoughtful. Michelle helped us to go above and beyond the wedding of our dreams!

Below are just a few of the wonderful reason to work with Magnolia & Grace:

WEDDING DAY VISION: she is an extremely thoughtful artist! Think of her as your Personal Pinterest board, but better!
EXCEPTIONAL PROFESSIONAL EXPERTISE: negotiate contracts, complete in depth industry research and offer competitive pricing.
DAY OF DREAM!!: Husband and I along with our families immensely appreciated having Michelle there the day of to take care of all of the “behind the scenes” projects.
Saved us time, money and constantly exceeded our expectations. Invaluable resource.
Reduced stress and help us keep our decisions simple (a hard task if you knew me…)

To top it all off: We knew she genuinely cared for us and our vision and wanted to partner with us to create an incredible guest experience and the first chapter of our new family legacy. Do not hesitate to work with Magnolia & Grace!

Wow…where to begin with our experience with Michelle? My husband and I got engaged in December during my secondyear of law school and in the middle of my husband’s basketball season. Given our hectic schedules, we decided on a long engagement. Even with time on our side, we found it difficult to stay on schedule. A few months in, we decided to seek the advice of a wedding planner. We were hesitant to bring someone on board that we didn’t know...and then we met Michelle.

From day one, Michelle just had this glow about her that made us extremely excited to work with her. (When you meet her you will understand!) When I explained my vision for our wedding, she locked in immediately and shared so many great ideas that complimented our vision and would eventually enhance the experience. Michelle learned our likes and dislikes and catered her ideas accordingly. Michelle helped narrow down the infinite choices (thanks to Pinterest) to a manageable level.

When we got to the day of the wedding, I felt completely at ease because I knew that Michelle was there. Despite the many stories my husband and I heard from married couples that the logistics of the day drove them crazy, my husband and I were able to enjoy every minute because we knew that we had an extra set of eyes and ears out there.

Throughout the entire wedding planning process, my husband and I always felt like we were the only couple working with Michelle. Although we know this was not the case, the care and attention Michelle provided made us feel like a priority.Michelle’s prompt email responses at all hours made it so easy to fit wedding planning into our busy schedules.

Michelle is genuinely nice, kind hearted, sweet, selfless, and organized. Michelle brought our dream wedding to life. We are forever grateful for this invaluable gift she has given us. Needless to say, we highly recommend Michelle as your wedding planner and legacy builder.

From the moment I met with Magnolia & Grace Events, I was impressed. From their fresh ideas to excellent vendor connections and recommendations, my wedding day would not have been as magical AND stress free without them! They truly specialize in creating atmospheres for memories to flourish. They helped bring my vision to life and effortlessly orchestrated the Day Of Coordination, so I did not have to worry about anything. And it's not just me, the bride, who thought so! Both my parents and in-laws especially commented how nice it was to have a kind, organized and calm coordinator to help the day run smoothly! Other vendors even recognized this as well! The manager of the band even mentioned that Michelle was the most organized and efficient planner/coordinator he has ever worked with! Magnolia & Grace Events went above and beyond to ensure all vendors were on the same page, mitigated any day of issues with grace and displayed leadership with warmth and kindness. If you want your big day to be uniquely tailored to you AND stress free, Magnolia & Grace is the team you MUST have working behind the scenes!
