  Highly Recommend Graceful Events

  We are biased because Sara Sekeres from Graceful Events is the bride’s cousin, but she was fantastic executing our two-day wedding in July.
  
  We did a small Indian wedding the first day and a big western wedding the second day. From start to finish, Sara was on the go nonstop bringing our vision to life and coordinating beautifully with our venue and vendors so that we could relax and enjoy the wedding of our dreams.
  
  Her experience coordinating weddings was evident throughout the process. She set up the western wedding reception ballroom of our dreams with very little help and also did all the little things like helping family members when there were some minor wardrobe issues during dancing for the Indian wedding.
  
  She recommended a fantastic DJ and had great suggestions, but was never overbearing and let us have full ownership of all the decisions.
  
  Even when we were thrown curveballs during our wedding weekend, Sara was calm and professional and able to adapt at a moment’s notice, helping comfort us and setting the tone for all of our vendors and guests.
  
  We highly recommend Graceful Events!

  Wedding Coordinator + Event Design

  We evaluated various vendors in the Lake Geneva, WI area for our wedding at The Abbey, and working with the Graceful Events team was a no brainer for us! Starting with Jaffe and her assistant Jenn – they were so responsive (Jaffe literally sent me info 2 hours after my website inquiry), and really enjoyable to work with. We did their silver package and added on the event design to get some extra help bringing everything together.
  
  Enter Katie Ogrinc, who we got connected with early on for the event design component and she was able to attend our initial meeting with The Abbey team. Katie ended up being our day of coordinator as well, which worked out perfectly since she had already been up to speed on our wedding details. We got along immediately (bonding over the southside of Chicago, and SW Michigan areas), and it felt like we'd known her for years. It also helped that she got along so well with our event coordinator (Jonathan Puls) at The Abbey – their team has done so many events there over the years, which makes the whole planning process that much more seamless. 
  
  Katie was always a few steps ahead, and truly helped surface things that we never would have thought of. It felt very overwhelming to think about the daunting task of downloading all of our details out of our brains for her to get up to speed on, but she made it so easy for us with the organization and expertise she brought into our coordination. It was such an incredible feeling heading into our wedding week / weekend knowing that we had full confidence in Katie to run the show (with the help of Shelby + Ashley who were both so amazing as well!). From finalizing details with vendors, to being there for our rehearsal, making sure the room was setup + decorated, coordinating with our surprise bagpipers, being flexible with the timeline + keeping us on track, helping to distribute vendor tips, and ALLLL of the little details that you just don't have to think about that day because of her – we really would not have had such an enjoyable experience and stress-free (as much as it can be!) wedding day if not for this team.
  
  Katie always presented herself with a very calming energy, felt like one of the family, and truly was so wonderful to work with every step of the way. She also has a great side gig – Table Side Design– where she'll design custom pieces for your events! We had her make our welcome sign and escort table signs, which were executed perfectly and received so many compliments from our guests. 
  
  Jaffe has built an incredible team of knowledgeable, friendly, and professional individuals. As the owner of the business, she was also great about checking in to wish us well before our wedding, as well as follow-up afterwards with a personalized note. We highly recommend using her team for their services if you're looking in the area – it is worth every penny!

  The absolute best!

  Graceful events truly made our wedding the best it could possibly be. Grace was an absolute life saver and truly made our vision come to life. From start to finish she was organized, so easy to work with, paid attention to detail, and made our day perfect. I would have been truly lost without her, and I am forever grateful that we were blessed enough to be able to work with her.

  Go with Graceful Events!

  Using Graceful Events for our wedding was such a wonderful decision! I truly can’t imagine our wedding day without the help of Angie. We went with the ‘silver’ package which, while it’s the lowest tier option (essentially a day of coordinator with built-in support leading up to the wedding) – it felt like the gold standard. Angie was so attentive, detail-oriented, and calming throughout the planning process. She was 100% on it at all times and quickly felt like I was planning with a trusted friend even when we hadn’t met yet. Angie anticipated our every need and was a total joy to have on our wedding day – who knows if there were any mishaps or issues because she shielded us from all of them and just made sure we were having the most perfect day. Go with Graceful Events – you will be so happy with your choice!

  Simply The Best - Better Than All The Rest

  I cannot recommend Sara Sekeres and Graceful Events team enough! Wedding planning should be special, but can also be overwhelming. Sara was with us from the beginning, ensuring we were partnering with the right vendors and thinking through the details that meant the most to us. Sara and her team were an absolute dream the day of our wedding. Also thankful, she carved out time in our day of schedule to ensure my fiancee and I spent a few moments together in the wonderful craziness and also ate!

  Review for graceful

  I sat for days struggling to come up with the appropriate words to share how important Kacie was to our wedding day. Kacie was attentive, detail oriented, flexible, responsive, and personable not just to me and my husband, but to every single person in our wedding party. Most of the guests and even several of my vendors and venue employees said it was the best wedding they had ever been to. If it was not for Kacie from Graceful Events, it would have been a completely different day. My husband and I were able to relax and enjoy the day that we had spent years talking about- this is the most valuable gift ever. Anything I needed, even without asking, was promptly provided to me. The only thing I regret is not immediately having another large event for Kacie to assist me with. My friends and family members that had the pleasure of interacting with Kacie fully intend to reach out for their own events/ weddings.
  Furthermore, I also had the unique pleasure to work with Abbey Rosenquist as she happened to be our ceremony coordinator at the church. Abbey also coincidentally happens to work for Graceful Events and even though she was not paired with me through Graceful, she was still just as attentive to me. For example, someone stepped on my dress after the ceremony leaving a huge black stain. Without asking, Abbey ran and cleaned it off, leaving my dress pristine for pictures. I will forever be grateful for the peace and calm that both Kacie and Abbey provided to me and my husband on the biggest day of our lives.
  Thank you again!!!

  Extraordinary!!

  It’s hard to put into words the level of professionalism and attention to even the tiniest of details that Jaffe and her staff at Graceful Events put into the ‘once in a lifetime Gala’ held at Yerkes Observatory in Williams Bay, WI on 9-16-23. The planning for this event lasted over a year and a half; with Jaffe and Sara putting in countless hours for the comprehensive creation, management and execution of, not just a Gala…but a true production! This huge undertaking included the coordination of a large vendor team throughout the entire process; everything from the tent, A/V, floral, rentals, the caterer, the band, valet, photographer, and on and on. Everything throughout this work of art operated in perfect synchronicity! Of course there will always be unavoidable challenges that present themselves with an event of this magnitude, but Jaffe’s team was composed, confident and nonplussed under pressure working to problem solve any issue(s) head on in the most professional manner.
  Perhaps most importantly is how Jaffe, Sara, and their team made every attempt to ensure that each and every one of the 300 guests in attendance at the Gala left the event with an overall feeling that they had just experienced the best party of their lifetime! Boy oh boy were they successful! The literal flood of compliments about this Gala has been nothing short of magnificent!
  We could keep writing pages about how much we love Graceful Events. Again, it’s so hard to put into words just how perfect this Gala was, but what we can say, is that we owe it all to Jaffe and her team. To say that they are extraordinary, just doesn’t seem to be enough!

  Amazing Service

  I loved working with Graceful Events for my wedding. They were extremely helpful with all of the little details and things I stressed about. On the day of, my day of Coordinator, Robyn, handled everything and executed my vision so I could just enjoy the day. It made my wedding so much more enjoyable - I cannot recommend them enough!

  Pure Magic!

  Jessica, Katie and Jaffe went above and beyond. On such an important I cannot impress enough how amazing it was to have a team we trusted and could really enjoy and soak in the day- while they worked their magic. As we hired our other vendors the response was the same “ Oh you have Graceful Events? The day will be perfect— they’re AMAZING! We love working with them”. The entire day was pure magic, hiring Graceful (especially Jessica & Katie) was the best wedding choice we could have made!!

  Professional, efficient and comprehensive!

  We had such a great experience with Katie from Graceful Events- I was stressed about planning a 200+ person wedding and after meeting with Katie I felt so much better- she made sure the day went off without a hitch and was integral to our perfect wedding weekend- highly recommend!

  Gold Package Planner

  I recently got married in Lake Geneva and hired a planner from Graceful Events on their gold program. The program entailed unlimited emails from 6 months out, 3 in person or virtual meetings leading up to the wedding, as well as rehearsal and day of coverage (with an assistant). The unlimited emails helped my planning mind so much because I was able to keep a running list of questions in a draft box in my email and once a week send out the questions haunting me at night to my planner. I had Josie and I was nervous to hand the reigns over since I had spent all my time and energy over the last 9 months planning every detail but she executed it and helped make our wedding night perfect. Jaffe the owner took my initial call and stayed in touch with me throughout the process even sending the email I so desperately needed to read a week before the wedding about putting the worries away and staying in the moment - after all that is why you hire help! Overall I was super impressed with the business Jaffe runs. She cares, listens, and works with clients to help make their day less stressful. Can not recommend these ladies enough they are the real deal! Thank you Graceful Events Team, Jaffe, & Josie

  I was so grateful to have Jaffe plan my wedding. She made my vision come to life. Jaffe not only is an extremely organized and detail- oriented person, she is one of the kindest people you will ever meet. All important qualities to have when helping a bride plan the most memorable day of her life. I would recommend her to anyone and can guarantee she does not disappoint!

  Definitely the best!

  Jaffe and her team and extremely competent and truly enjoy the work they do. They have a ton of different resources and they are incredibly kind and happy for the couples they work with! We had to cancel our wedding because of the pandemic, but Jaffe was with us every step of the way, contacting vendors, making suggestions, etc. I cannot recommend Graceful Events enough!

  Amazing Team!

  We had our wedding this summer at Lake Geneva and worked closely with Gabriella as our coordinator. We cannot stress enough how smoothly and easily the wedding went, and it was all thanks to Gabriella and the Graceful Events team. From last minute changes, to timeline shifts, to creating a stress free environment that we could just relax and enjoy ourselves, Gabriella made it all happen. We will remember our wedding day as the best day of our lives and it is all thanks to Graceful Events. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

  You need Graceful Events!

  If you are on the fence about hiring a day-of coordinator, DO IT. It's worth every penny, and Graceful Events was an absolute pleasure to work with. They are so familiar with all of the Lake Geneva venues, which was super helpful during the entire process. I cannot recommend them enough!
  
  Hailey was my day-of wedding coordinator and she truly made our wedding day the best it could possibly have been. Hailey was so calm and organized during my planning process, making sure I was checking off the boxes that I needed to in the months leading up to my wedding. And on our wedding day she was so insanely helpful - directing our vendors, setting up our ceremony and reception space, and keeping us on schedule throughout the evening. Plus, as a person she is incredibly kind and thoughtful! She put in a huge amount of work making sure our wedding was exactly as we envisioned it, and I am so grateful that she was a part of it. Having her support kept me sane, and allowed me to fully be in the moment with my family, friends and husband the entire day!

  Best decision we made!

  We worked with Graceful Events for our Lake Geneva wedding and are so happy we did! We used their day-of coordinator service and were paired with Abbey, who was absolutely amazing to work with. She helped us get all of the final details sorted out and was very knowledgeable about our venue and vendors, which helped things come together perfectly on our day. Looking back, we can’t imagine what the final stages of our wedding planning or the day-of would have been like if we had not decided to hire Graceful Events. If you are on the fence, DO IT! They took the stress out of the weeks leading up to our day and our wedding day itself. Their whole team is amazing and we could not recommend them more!

  I don’t even know where to begin!!! I don’t have enough words in the world to describe how much I love Graceful events! Jaffe really has a top of the line team working with her. I had the honor to work with Tabby as my wedding planner for my wedding. Before the wedding we met 3 separate times to go over all details for the day of and rehearsal. Tabby created an entire master timeline, called all my vendors in advanced, decorated the entire ballroom the day of my wedding, kept a 25 person bridal party on time, and most importantly kept me and my mom stress free day of. I had difficulties finalizing some major key points with my wedding venue and main point of contact at the wedding office 2 weeks leading up to my wedding. Tabby was there to calm me down and reassured me that everything is going to be perfect on our big day and to not worry!!! Tabby really turned into a friend during all the wedding planning! It was so amazing to know I had someone on my team taking care of every little detail and bringing my wedding vision to life. The moment I walked into the reception area I couldn’t help but cry because Tabby and Jaffe did a phenomenal job bringing life to grand ballroom. I will forever be grateful for Graceful Events!!!! I HIGHLY recommend everyone to work with Graceful Events for their big day. You will 100% not be disappointed!!!!!!! Best customer service ever!!!!

  Graceful Events was fantastic!! Highly recommend

  When I got engaged, my first thought was “I need a planner if we’re going to pull this wedding off successfully,” but what we got in Jenna as our wedding planner for the past 11mo was so much more - a planner, a friend, a confidant, and someone to make all the wedding chaos feel fun and most importantly EASY!
  
  I can’t say enough about the service Jenna from Graceful Events provided my mom and I as we planned the multi day event. From managing all the big things like vendor selection down to how you tip them, she was there with us (or on our behalf, making so easy for us) every step of the way. She helped us think of so many things you don’t even know to ask about, helped navigate negotiations and understand industry pricing, and made meeting (phone, email, in person) so convenient, especially for a bride traveling internationally and rarely available at “normal hours!” She even brought in a designer, Stephanie Huttner, to help frame our concept and look/feel of what we wanted the whole wedding day to look like by incorporating a "Design Board" that we kept referencing/changing as the ideas flowed and the planning began; and Stephanie and Jenna were able to visualize and put together a board even better than my mom and I could have dreamed. And the pre wedding stress does really kick in one month before, but Jenna's weekly checklists had us feeling in control and comfortable every step of the way. Not to mention having her as my right hand person on the wedding day itself - she was there keeping everyone (all vendors included) managed with logistics and timing - if anything went wrong that day, I sure didn’t notice it, because she’s that good :)

  Highly Recommend Graceful Events for Wedding Day-of Coordination

  While Graceful Events is known for Lake Geneva weddings, I could not recommend them more for a Milwaukee wedding. My day-of coordinator, Robyn, located in Milwaukee was one of the best and most valuable investments I made for my MKE wedding! As a type A bride, I truly felt confident and comfortable with Robyn taking control of the day, which allowed me to fully enjoy every moment and not have to worry about a thing. Robyn went above and beyond to ensure the day was seamless - and it was! I had such a positive experience, so I highly recommend Robyn and Graceful Events for wedding planning and day-of coordination. Thank you for everything!

  Highly recommend graceful events!!

  Jessica was absolutely amazing to work with! From our very first phone call, I immediately felt confident that I was in good hands. She kept me organized and on track with everything leading up to the wedding, and on the day of, she went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. She was constantly one step ahead—running around to grab things I needed and making sure the whole day flowed perfectly. I truly believe the reason I felt so calm the morning of my wedding was because I knew Jessica had everything under control. I can’t recommend her enough—she was such a key part of making our day so beautiful and perfect!

  The dream team for anyone looking for a wedding planner!

  Graceful Events, especially Senior Wedding Planner Jenna, and Designer Stephanie, made sure that our big day will be perfect as we have planned. Especially with the fact that we had to postpone our wedding celebration from October 2020 to October 2021 due to some unexpected passings I had in my side of the family.
  
  Once we decided to postpone, we contacted Jenna right away. Without further delay, she went ahead and reached out to all of our vendors making sure they were available on our new date. She’s that AMAZING! Also thank you Jaffe Wojcik, Owner of Graceful Events, for being so understanding on our circumstances in postponing our wedding celebration!
  
  Throughout the wedding planning, Jenna is not only an amazing talented professional, she’s also such a cool person. She made the whole process of planning our postponed wedding fun and stress free! From every vendor she recommended to every small detail, everything was so amazing. Fast forward to 10/10/21, it was by the far the most special day of our lives. Jenna and her team literally made our dreams come true. From start to finish we could not have asked for a more dedicated visionary working to make everything happen. It was truly a magical day. The details to the design and the execution of how everything turned out was beyond our expectations. We can’t get over of how perfect our day was! Jenna, we love you and we are forever grateful!

  October 2023 Wedding

  My husband and I recently got married at the beginning of October at Geneva National Resort. Our venue provided us with a venue coordinator which we sadly were not impressed with. I did a lot of research to find a trustworthy company we could work with for our big day, and came across Graceful Events.
  I first started off talking with Jaffe the owner who is so responsive to any and all questions, and made sure we felt confident in working with her and her team. Once we decided to work with Graceful events, were assigned Abbey R. as our day of coordinator.
  We were so happy we had the opportunity to work with her for our wedding! She truly went above and beyond for us to make sure everything went smoothly and picked up the pieces that our venue coordinator couldn’t do. She was willing to help transfer all of our DIY decor, signs, etc during our dinner rehearsal, and was there to help with whatever we needed during the day of.
  As for most weddings we did have some problems come up, and Abbey was there to solve them for us. We somehow misplaced our sparklers for the send off we had planned, and Abbey and her husband came to the rescue for us. They had left over sparklers of their own they had dropped off for us minutes before we were going out to take photos with our guests. Abbey is such an awesome wedding planner and DOC that I would recommend to everyone. We were so grateful to have had her there to help us and greatly appreciate everything she did for us.
  I also do want to give shout out to Angie. She is absolutely incredible! One of my best friends got married the weekend before us and had Angie as their coordinator. I was a bridesmaid in her wedding and watched Angie go above and beyond to make sure everyone was where they needed to be, and that things went perfect for her big day (which they did!). She made sure everything was perfectly timed, that the groomsmen weren’t messing around or getting too crazy, and that all the decorations were set up exactly the way they envisioned.
  I have nothing but good things to say about the entire Graceful Events team and how they all do such a spectacular job. Highly recommend any and all of them especially if you feel like you need extra help on your special day.

  Highly Recommend!

  We originally did not have a wedding coordinator for our first intended date, but once we had to reschedule our wedding the stress built up and we contracted with Graceful Events for our new wedding day. We breathed a big sigh of relief that day! Past brides and industry professionals aren’t lying when they say hiring a day of coordinator is a must! We're so fortunate to have had Angie as our coordinator, I don’t know how we’d manage the day without her. She was so sweet, funny, and very detail oriented! We clicked the first time we met to go over details and the following days till the wedding she was very responsive when it came to all our random questions, and handled any communication needed with our vendors.
  
  On the wedding day, the Graceful Events team was on top of everything from organizing vendors, setting up decor, and directing guests on where to go. We even had a last minute ceremony change from outside to indoors, due to rain. Angie and the team quickly managed to move our arch flowers from the outside arch to the one indoors. I am so grateful for Angie and the Graceful Events team, they really allowed us to just enjoy our day! I cannot recommend them enough!
