About

The adventure first began in 2011 when I accepted a job with a wonderful wedding coordination company which was originally based out of Atlanta, Georgia. I quickly discovered just how passionate I was for this crazy, whirlwind of an industry and by 2012 I was thrilled to launch Southern Grace Events.


Fast forward to 2016 when I met the Chandler's who were in the process of building Chandler Oaks Barn. Once again, I was offered a dream position. I cheerfully accepted the role as event and venue manger for the sweet Chandler family. We held our first event at Chandler Oaks in March of 2017 and the rest is history.

Planning, designing, organizing details and connecting people brings pure joy into my life and I am so thankful for the gifts, talents and opportunities the Lord has blessed me with.
I truly love what I do.

I don’t even know where to begin… our wedding was absolutely stunning in every way because of our amazing Wedding Planner, Stephanie! We could not have pulled this special day off without her! She made our day flawless in every way and made the whole process from start to finish enjoyable. She was always available and answered all our questions even with a newborn. She made our vision come to life and it was absolutely beautiful! My husband even commented on how present she was during the whole event and how helpful she was to everyone! We truly are so thankful and grateful for all of her hard work! Amy was also great! Before Stephanie was assigned to us, Amy answered all our questions and she even got us a better price for our dance floor. I truly recommend these beautiful ladies if you want your wedding to run as smoothly as ours did, there was not one thing that went wrong the day of our wedding….it was a FAIRYTALE . Now the day before, the hurricane knocked out the power at the venue, which was Chandler Oaks Barn and these ladies worked tirelessly to execute the most beautiful wedding for our daughter. Thank you, Stephanie for making it SPECTACULAR!
