Sara Sent on 07/13/2026Thank you Graceful Events
Graceful Events is truly the best. From the moment our coordinator Gabriella stepped in, we knew we were in incredible hands. What started as a wedding planner relationship quickly turned into a genuine friendship with Joey and me, and we truly can't imagine our wedding day without her.
Gabriella went above and beyond every expectation we had. During the 60 days leading up to our wedding, she was always responsive, organized, and proactive. She spent countless hours on phone calls, meetings, and check-ins far beyond what was included in our original contract simply because she cared about making our day absolutely perfect.
Her attention to detail on the wedding day itself was nothing short of amazing. She thought of everything before we even had the chance to worry about it, handled every detail seamlessly behind the scenes, and made the entire day feel effortless for us and our families. Because of her, we were able to be fully present, soak in every moment, and truly enjoy the best day of our lives.
Gabriella's passion, professionalism, kindness, and dedication shine through in everything she does. She didn't just help us plan a wedding she brought our dream day to life. We will forever be grateful for everything she did for us.
If you're lucky enough to have Gabriella as part of your wedding day, know that you're in the absolute best hands. We cannot recommend her highly enough! -

Choosing Graceful Events was one of the best decisions that we made for our wedding! Jaffe was helpful from the start and helped us decide which package was right for our wedding. We chose the silver package and worked with Jessica. I cannot recommend her enough! From start to finish, Jessica had our best interests at heart, gave us honest feedback based on her experience, and was a calming presence the day of our wedding. We had to watch the weather closely the day of the wedding, and without Jessica I would have been extremely stressed. She worked flawlessly with our vendors and the coordinator through our venue. Our wedding day was PERFECT and we did not have to think about anything other than getting married, thanks to Jessica! -

Nicole Sent on 10/07/2025Gold 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 -

Kelsey Sent on 08/29/2025The best investment you can make!
Hiring Graceful Events for our wedding coordination was truly one of the best decisions we made in the entire wedding planning process. We chose the Gold Package for our July 2025 Lake Geneva wedding and were connected with our incredible coordinator, Hailey, six months before the big day.
From our very first consultation call with Jaffe, it was clear that Graceful Events is unmatched in the Lake Geneva wedding world. Jaffe’s familiarity with nearly every one of our vendors immediately gave us peace of mind and confidence in the choices we had made.
Once we were paired with Hailey and began meeting with her, we instantly felt a new level of calm and security. Hailey was such an incredible resource to run decisions by, help us monitor our to-do list, and ask for advice along the way. Hailey is one of the best in the game; it was evident that she knew wedding planning like the back of her hand. In the months leading up to the wedding, Hailey was readily available whenever we needed her, and she took over complete communication with each of the vendors.
Although we were blown away by her organization and experience leading up to the wedding, the actual wedding weekend was Hailey’s time to shine. From taking charge at the wedding rehearsal, setting up the ceremony and reception PERFECTLY, directing vendors to the right place, to keeping this bride calm and cool with her portable fan on the 85-degree day, Hailey was nothing short of a superstar. We truly cannot thank her and her assistant, Olivia, enough for all they did to make our day as perfect as it was. Hiring Graceful Events for your wedding coordination or planning needs is quite literally the best investment you can make - they are worth every penny. I recommend them to anyone planning a wedding in the Lake Geneva area and beyond. THANK YOU, Graceful Events, for making our dream wedding a reality!!! -

Emily Sent on 04/29/2025We LOVED working with Kacie!
Graceful Events, and specifically Kacie were so incredible to work with! Kacie is literally the reason our wedding day went so smoothly with how detailed she was with our timeline of events, and how helpful she was with adjusting things day as we had some last minute changes due to family. The day itself was absolutely perfect, and there wasn't a single second I worried about anything because Kacie had it handled. And the set up of the venue was GORGEOUS! She took my decor and created a masterpiece! Would HIGHLY recommend working with Graceful Events, they made our day possible! -

Colleen Sent on 09/26/2024Highly 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! -

Graceful Events was by far our favorite and most valued vendor. We can’t express enough how much peace our wedding planner, Hailey Foss, brought us on our special day. We couldn't have asked for a better person to guide us through the wedding planning journey. Hailey went above and beyond in countless ways, including coordinating with our families to ensure we could fully enjoy every moment of our day. We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Hailey Foss by our side and wholeheartedly recommend Graceful Events to anyone planning a wedding in the area. Their extensive experience with all our vendors ensured that our day went off without a hitch. Thank you so much, Graceful Events and Hailey! -

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! -

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 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! -

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. -

Meagan Sent on 10/03/2023Wedding 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! -

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!

Kelsey Sent on 08/17/2023You 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! -

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!! -

Mita Sent on 12/25/2021The 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!
If you’re looking for a wedding planner, here you have a team of them! Highly recommend Jenna and Graceful Events team! -

Graceful Events and Robyn are pure magic!
No words could possibly describe how grateful My husband, Paul and I are for Robyn and Graceful Events! Robyn was pure magic since the moment we met her and went above and beyond to get to know us as a couple. Robyn took on every task from helping us incorporate our dog in our wedding, tying bow ties, delivering late night Taco Bell, and fluffing my dress and veil all day long. Robyn ensured not one detail was left untouched and became a great friend to us along the way. Robyn is your go to gal for everything wedding related and also supports your decisions along the way. Paul and I will be FORVER grateful for all the support and love Graceful Events provided us along the way! -

My fiancé and I found ourselves in a pinch- family friends were hired to create the majority of our decor and they also planned to decorate the day of the wedding. Unfortunately, due to medical issues, they no longer were going to be able to help the day of the wedding. We were referred to Graceful Events by the owner of our venue- Providence Vineyard. Jaffe went above and beyond to figure our a plan to help us get through our day- successfully. She looked for a last minute solution that would fit our needs at a price that we could afford. She told me, "We have your back." At that moment, a huge weight was lifted off our shoulders. Highly recommend Graceful Events without hesitation!

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!

Meghan Sent on 12/20/2019Go 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! -

Katie Sent on 05/14/2019Graceful Events helped me create memories
Jenna was our day-of-coordinator for our May 4th wedding. Jenna is not only an amazing professional, but a spectacular, sweet person as well. She stayed on top of everything leading up to the wedding and was always available and there to help (even when I was being a crazy bride on Easter Sunday). When the wedding day came, I remained completely stress-free the entire day. Even with being organized, at least one thing will always go “wrong” your wedding day. The day after the wedding I found out that our photographer originally arrived at the wrong location. I had no clue this ever happened and Jenna took care of everything without ever alerting anyone. My maid of honor was also extremely nervous about giving her speech. Jenna was right there to be so sweet and hype her up. I can honestly say it was the happiest and most relaxed day of my life. Instead of the day flying by with logistics, I was able to soak everything in. I could never have created so many amazing memories without Jenna’s help behind the scenes. She was truly the unsung hero of the day. -

Meghan Sent on 10/24/2018Hire Jenna!!
I'm not sure where to even begin. Hiring a day of planner was the best thing we could have done. We were lucky enough to have Jenna Thayer. I am a very detailed person and I've met my match! We had multiple meetings with her leading up to the day where she went over every detail ( even the details I didn't know about). They day of I didn't have to think about anything. I knew Jenna was handling everything from our vendors, to our decorations, and the overall timeline. If you are hesitant about booking a day of planner I would strongly suggest you do!! Thank you Graceful events, and Jenna!! -

Maggi Sent on 07/12/2018I 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!!!!
