Michelle is a Goddess

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.

The best ever!

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!

Dream Day Of Coordinator

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!
