Everyone needs Grace in their life!

Working with grace was one of the greatest gifts of our entire wedding experience. Working with her is a non-negotiable. Our day wouldn’t have been the same without her. She is knowledgeable, incredibly helpful, and genuinely becomes a friend first. She is someone who reminds you to breathe, be present, and actually enjoy the moments as they come. As a planner myself, I’m used to being the one managing every detail, but with her there, I didn’t have to touch a thing. I knew every vendor was taken care of, every detail handled, and everything would get done exactly as it should. She doesn’t sweat the small stuff, keeps an amazing attitude, and brings a calm confidence that instantly puts you at ease. She makes the entire day feel light and effortless—like you’re floating on a cloud with your best friend watching your back. She is a forever friend, and I will recommend her over and over again to anyone who wants a wedding day that feels joyful, seamless, and completely supported.

Great Vibes Grace :)

We cannot recommend Grace enough! From start to finish, she made our wedding weekend feel completely effortless. Not only did she handle our wedding day flawlessly, but she also supported us with our welcome event—and both felt seamless because of her. She anticipated every detail, kept everything on track, and made sure we could just enjoy ourselves without worrying about a thing. Our guests kept raving about how smooth and organized everything felt, which is all thanks to her. She truly went above and beyond and made the entire experience stress-free. We are so grateful!

Amazing full service planner!

We used Grace as a full service planner for our Indian-Mexican wedding at Roche Harbor. She helped plan and organize a welcome dinner, Hindu ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, and chapel wedding.

She helped find and negotiate contracts with all our vendors, worked closely with the venue, and was an absolute savior on the day of!

I can't recommend Grace enough. You can't go wrong with her

Go for grace!

If you’re looking for a coordinator who will go above and beyond to calm your nerves and ensure everything runs flawlessly, Grace is your person! She’s incredibly personable and you’ll feel like you’ve known her forever. She brings a wealth of industry experience, from catering to audio, that makes her uniquely skilled at managing vendors seamlessly. It was clear our other vendors loved working with her too.

For our rehearsal dinner, hosted at a private home for 115 guests, Grace handled every detail. She spent an estimated 10+ hours on-site in the days leading up planning layouts, coordinating rentals, troubleshooting logistics, and delivered a seamless event. On top of that, she navigated the complexity of working with vendors who primarily spoke Chinese, without missing a beat.

On our wedding day, Seattle threw us a rainy curveball, but Grace turned it into the best possible version of the day. She somehow knew our vision just as well as we did, despite running multiple wedding at a time - I don't know how she keeps it all straight and with such calm, but she does! Trust me, the last thing you want on your wedding day is to be the one coordinating. Hiring Grace was hands down the BEST money we spent.

Grace is amazing!

Hiring Grace was the best decision we made during our entire wedding planning process. From our very first meeting, they were organized, warm, professional, and truly passionate about bringing our vision to life. Every detail was handled with care—from vendor coordination to timeline management—and their creativity and calm presence helped make the day feel effortless.

They went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly, and we genuinely got to enjoy every moment of our wedding knowing Grace had everything under control. Our guests were raving about how seamless and beautiful the event was—and we owe so much of that to this incredible planner.

If you're looking for someone who listens, cares deeply, and delivers with grace and excellence, look no further. Highly, highly recommend!

Grace is the best

We worked with Grace for over a year to plan our wedding, and we can confidently say she’s an absolute gem. From our very first meeting, she was personable, professional, and incredibly organized. She provided us with a clear planning outline that kept us on track and met with us monthly to ensure every detail was covered.

Grace truly knows the ins and outs of wedding planning—her knowledge and experience were invaluable. She connected us with excellent vendors and always had thoughtful recommendations that aligned with our vision.

When the big day finally arrived, Grace went above and beyond. Her day-of coordination was seamless, detailed, and calm. It genuinely felt like we had a trusted friend by our side, making sure the day was perfect (and it was!).

We are so grateful to Grace for helping bring our wedding vision to life. If you’re looking for a wedding coordinator who is warm (stern when needed), detail-oriented, and truly invested in making your day amazing, we wholeheartedly recommend Grace.

Grace was the best wedding investment and a must-have!

Grace was hands down the best decision we made while planning our wedding. When we started the process we oftentimes felt treated like a number. As two working professionals that typically work long hours, it was difficult to find time to chat with them and they always led with their “package” offerings. When we reached out to Grace she was kind, straightforward, and down-to-earth. Her approach is humanizing and honestly it was so refreshing. We vibed and she treated us like people, not a product. Her go-with-the-flow hybrid working style was exactly what we needed. She made time to meet with us in the evenings. Her communication skills are top notch. Discussing topics on an as-needed basis and scaling communication up/down really made the process efficient. She responds in reasonable timeframes and never leaves a question unanswered. Her vendor management skills are world class and having most of that process hidden behind the curtain was relieving. She helped with vendor recommendation, gave honest feedback based on her invaluable experience in the industry, and knows how to handle all social situations. Grace asks the right questions at the right times with minimal churn. She protected us at every decision point and constantly put us first. In addition to the wedding she helped plan our cultural ceremony with family members and only told us what we needed to know without all the drama. The amount of care she put into her work made it easy to trust her with everything and it was so worth it. Go with Grace, you won’t regret it.

Highly recommend Grace and Smiling Rose

We booked Grace as our wedding coordinator and it was one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding. Grace went above and beyond our expectations - even attending a catering tasting and a rental consultation. She suggested vendors that met our price points and reviewed and provided feedback on all our vendor contracts which put our minds at ease and made sure that we were covering all our bases. Her communication was outstanding and her sense of humor was perfect for when things got stressful. During the wedding weekend, Grace easily handled all questions/concerns from immediate family members (so we didn't have to) and our wedding day was completely stress free for us. She also has a great inventory of decor items which she lent to us for the wedding. I highly recommend Grace and her team.

Highly recommend!!!

Grace was the day-of-coordinator for our wedding in East Lake, and we're so glad we picked her!
In the weeks leading to the wedding she made sure we were thinking about all the small logistic details and talking to her made us feel confident that we were on track (and removed a lot of planning-induced anxiety).
And the day of the wedding we didn't have to talk to any vendor. We were able to really enjoy the wedding reception, which is a big win for us.
Thanks Grace!!!
