Sophie Sent on 02/18/2025Truly Invaluable
From the moment we had our intake with Katie to the final goodbye on our wedding night - it was absolutely amazing. She is so thorough, so kind and so on top of everything. I had started the planning process newly pregnant in the hopes of getting done as much as I possibly could myself, but there was just so many things that I didn’t even get the chance to think about that Katie handled with grace for us.
She and her team - invaluable. This is the most stressful day of a brides life, she made it completely stress-free. Above and beyond is exactly what she does.
You can’t help but love her and every aspect of all she does. -

Kate Sent on 01/13/2025Don't look further than Social Graces!
As a Wedding Florist, I've had the pleasure of working alongside Katie and her team on numerous occasions. What consistently impresses me is Katie's calm and composed demeanor. She handles any 'behind the scenes' challenges that arise with remarkable ease and grace, all while keeping a smile on her sweet face! She ensures that everything runs smoothly for the couple and her entire vendor team, and she makes it all look so easy.
Look no further than Social Graces - choosing them for your wedding day will be one of the best decisions you make! We love you Katie and the Social Graces team! -

Elizabeth Sent on 11/13/2024Incredible Experience
Working with Katie from Social Graces was the best decision we could have made when planning our wedding. Katie and her team are so talented, organized, experienced, and kind. When I got engaged, I had no idea where to start and felt overwhelmed with how much there was to do. Katie immediately put us at ease, and made the whole process so exciting and fun. She has an amazing network of vendors and an incredible eye for design, and she thinks of every little detail. She will listen to your vision and bring it to life in a way that fits within your budget. Our wedding day was a dream come true start to finish and it's truly because of Katie and her team. We can't say enough good things about Social Graces! You will not regret working with her! -

Chelsea Sent on 10/22/2024AMAZING! Social Graces brought my wedding dreams to life!
Katie and the Social Graces team were incredible to work with from day one. Katie answered every question promptly while planning, created and sent a timeline to all vendors, communicated with all vendors clearly which in turn made everything go smoothly. The calming presence and assertiveness combined allowed my stress to diminish and everything I dreamed of was exceeded for our wedding day! We love this team! -

Katie and Victoria were absolute professionals and our big day went totally seamlessly because of them. They thought of every detail in advance and were excellent at both providing us support and guidance, while also helping us preserve our autonomy and letting us drive creative decisions. When issues arose -- as they inevitably will when planning such an important event -- they provided quick and effective solutions. Both Katie and Victoria were great communicators, both with us and with our other vendors. Having them support our wedding was the best thing we could have done, and we would hire them a million times over. -

Our wedding would not have been possible without Katie and the Social Graces Events team. From start to finish, Katie and her team understood our vision, our vibes, our personalities, our sense of humor, and most importantly, our absolutely unreasonable schedules, and worked with us to create and execute the wedding of our dreams. At the beginning of the process, we were busy with surgical residency and completing law school, and Katie made the wedding planning process a breeze in light of those taxing schedules and the little time that we had available to commit to our wedding plans. Katie turned our scattered vision of an upscale dinner party and intimate wedding into a reality that we could not have ever imagined ourselves. She coordinated seamlessly with curated vendors to bring a ceremony and reception to life that shocked both us and all of our guests. When we walked into the cocktail reception space and our tent at the Goodstone Inn, our jaws dropped at the gorgeous detail and the vision-come-to-life that Katie and her team had created. Along the way, Katie understood our sense of humor, neuroticism, and vision for the entire day. I remember seeing the master plan document that Katie had created weeks before our wedding -- I'm almost certain that it was more carefully curated and thought out than a CIA intelligence brief. After our wedding, we had many guests tell us wholeheartedly that they were "not just saying this to flatter, but it was the best wedding that they had ever attended." In all, Katie was the perfect wedding planner for us -- and became a truly trusted friend along the way. I'm not sure what else we could have asked for in this process. We would recommend Social Graces Events a million times over to anyone hoping to pull off the wedding of their dreams. We only wish that we could relive that party again and again. She has already become our designated family wedding planner and we can't wait to attend our brother and new sister's wedding as Katie takes over their planning process. -

Rachel Sent on 08/06/2024Truly the best planner!
I was about 5 months out from my wedding when I reached out to Katie from Social Grave Events. I was at the peak of wedding planning, feeling overwhelmed & felt I needed to hire someone to assist moving further. After my call with Katie, she assured me I was already ahead of the game and suggested I only needed to use her as a month or coordinator. I appreciated her honesty and not feeling like she was in it for money. However, after meeting Katie I wish I had hired her from the start because of how fun, creative, and sweet she is. I loved working with her in our short time together and couldn’t recommend her enough. I’m very type A and detail oriented so normally I would feel nervous passing off my planning and vision but I fully trusted Katie on my wedding day to make sure everything was exactly what I wanted, and it was! Thank you Katie so much for everything!! I couldn’t have surprised my wedding day and the weeks leading up without you! -

Eternally thankful for Katie, Victoria and Bridie for creating such a fantastic day and for all of the hard work done leading up to it. They easily made our wedding the best day of our lives! Thoughtful beyond belief - and attention to detail to match! They worked through all of the details and anticipated so much that we couldn't have even thought about to make it a seamless and special evening for our friends and family. We received compliments all night and it looked so beautiful. -

We used Katie to help put the finishing touches on our wedding and help our day go as smooth as possible. She did just that, making sure every detail was thought of and executed to a T. Katie is always responsive and professional, but also knows how to make you/your wedding feel ultra special. We could not have asked for a better day and much of that is in part to Katie/SG. I would highly recommend SG to anyone! -

Lauren Sent on 05/13/2024The Best Ever
From my very first phone call inquiry with Katie and Social Graces, I knew that I wanted their team by my side during my wedding planning. Katie worked with me for the 6 months leading up to my wedding, and she was worth every single penny paid! Without Katie and Social Graces, I truly don't know how a wedding like mine would be planned or successfully executed! Social Graces and our main planner, Katie, were extremely responsive and professional throughout the whole planning process. Always gave me sound and professional advice when asked, and helped me piece together literally every part of my wedding. After each monthly call, I received my "homework" and to-do list based off of our previous meeting within a day, which helped keep our timeline on track and the planning moving along! I can't say enough good things about my experience working with Katie. -

Katie & Caitlin were a part of our dream team for our wedding day! We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day from start to finish. From handing everything over to them we knew everything would go off without a hitch. It left our day without any worry of how things would go and I'll forever be grateful for that! Thank you Social Graces for being so unbelievably INCREDIBLE at what you do! -

Haley Sent on 03/04/2024The BEST decision we made
The Social Graces team is literally incredible, I don’t even know where to begin!!! Working with them was the best decision we made with our wedding! Everyone who interacted with them made a comment about how this was the best planner they’d ever seen in action, and they wish they had someone like Katie & her team for their wedding. Everyone on the team is so incredibly sweet and helpful. First, they made sure I had realistic expectations of what I was going to spend for the wedding I wanted before we even hired them, and then made sure we stayed on budget. They only showed me vendors within my budget and every vendor they recommended was absolutely incredible. Katie was always available when we needed her and helped us make decisions when the decision fatigue started to set in. Then the design plan and execution OH MY WORD!!! It was literally incredible, it took my breath away. I couldn’t believe it was MY wedding! All our guests were saying how much fun the reception was and how stunning the space was. Social Graces made sure we spent our money in the right places for maximum impact and made the wedding look even more expensive than it was. And the stress they took away on the day of so we could just have fun…. It was amazing. We can’t thank them enough!!! -

I am not sure what I would have done without Victoria (& Social Graces) on our wedding day! From the moment my husband and I met her, she was looking for ways to make our lives easier. She was kind, helpful, and went above and beyond in so many ways! I did my own flowers for the big day and Victoria and team set up all my decor so I could get ready without any worries. I am so glad we decided to work with them and would recommend them to anyone who wants that extra piece of mind for their big day! -

Carley Sent on 10/27/2023Do yourself a favor and work with Katie!!
Katie is an absolute miracle worker. My husband and I got married at my family’s farm - it’s my favorite place in the world and having all of our loved ones there was so special to us. I knew I would need a lot of help to plan the wedding because the farm is in a remote location and planning a private residence wedding is no easy feat. Enter Katie. We used Katie’s full planning services and I could not imagine our day without her. Katie is a walking wedding encyclopedia - she had answers to every tiny logistical question I had (there were many). She has the most beautiful eye for design, incorporating personal details to make our day feel so special. She went through many iterations to make sure my vision came to life. She helped us find vendors all over the DMV to travel to the farm. Katie is also just wonderful to be around. Our monthly planning sessions felt like coffee with a super organized friend and I miss them dearly! Katie brings the perfect balance of excited and calm energy - she is somehow both infectiously joyful and solidly unflappable. You can tell how much Katie cares about each of her couples, she poured her whole self into our whole wedding planning process. As a self-admitted control freak, I didn’t know if I’d be able to fully let go even after a hiring a wedding planning but with Katie I was 100% confident she’d do everything in her power to make our day perfect. Because of Katie, I was able to relax and enjoy my day completely and focus on marrying the love of my life. My one piece of wedding advice would be to do yourself a favor and work with Katie!!! -

Katie from Social Graces was absolutely amazing, I truly cannot express how great she was. She has this way of making your vision come alive. she always responds in a timely manner and if things go wrong she always handles it. And if something happens on your wedding day, you won’t know about It. she knows what to and handles It perfectly. I can’t recommend her enough to help plan your wedding. -

Katie and Social Graces provided month-of coordination services for our wedding and we could not have made a better choice! Katie was so extremely knowledgeable about our venue and handled everything with our vendors leading up to the wedding, providing us a template of to-do items so not a single detail was missed. We also selected the additional concierge service and Clara was so kind and helpful the entire morning as the wedding party members got ready - from grabbing breakfast/lunch items to steaming dresses! So many of our wedding party members complimented the entire team's calmness and professional demeanor the entire day, which helped keep everyone else's nerves in check! Katie and her team truly had every single part of the day handled and we all left thinking it was an absolutely perfect day - we could not recommend them enough! -

My husband and I had the privilege of working with Victoria the month leading up to our wedding. She was so personable, accommodating, responsive and extremely thorough. The day of the wedding she brought her assistant Mackenzie who was an absolute dream to work with as well. Our bridal party wouldn't stop talking about how amazing they both were to work with and how quickly small adjustments were made the day off to accommodate us and our guests. Our wedding day ran so smoothly and was better than we ever could have imagined! BIG thanks to both Victoria and Mackenzie for making our dream wedding become a reality. -

Victoria and Katie did an absolute perfect job at making sure everything ran smoothly on my wedding day. It wouldn't have been the day it was without all of their hard work. They were always there if I had a question or needed to make a quick change. I would recommend them to ALL of my friends getting married. They were AMAZING! -

Our experience working with Katie for the year and a half we spent planning our wedding could not have gone more smoothly. Not only is Katie incredibly professional and communicative, she is simply fun and wonderful to work with! She had everything so organized and helped bring our idea of a dream wedding to life. I could not recommend working with her and the rest of the team highly enough! -

I decided to hire Katie about two minutes into our first phone call. I had interviewed a few other wedding planners, and they had all painted a beautiful picture of what our wedding weekend could look like, but Katie was the first to understand that we cared more about how the events would FEEL to us and to our guests. Our priority was to plan a wedding that would be authentic and meaningful to us; we wanted the design to serve as a backdrop, rather than a centerpiece, for those moments of connection. Katie embraced that vision from day one, and she never lost sight of it over the eighteen months that followed. The resulting events were STUNNING and — more importantly — so much fun. A few things that made working with Katie so special (in no particular order):
- She approached every one of our harebrained ideas with a “yes, and” attitude. When I decided to design our invitations myself because I couldn’t find exactly what I wanted online? She offered stylistic feedback and shared my delight when I found a printer who would paint the edges of my invitations gold. When my husband decided he wanted a horse for his baraat (an idea we later - praise be - scrapped)? She reached out to seemingly every horse rental outfit (???) on the eastern seaboard for a quote. When I told her I was going to learn to use a cricut so that I could DIY a four-by-six foot crossword puzzle for our reception? She didn’t blink — just added it to the design plan.
- That said, Katie isn’t a yes man. There were a few instances where my husband or I had an idea that should never have seen the light of day, and Katie ever-so-gently pointed out the various ways in which that idea conflicted with our stated values, our established budget, or the laws of physics.
- Katie was always responsive (despite having birthed a whole HUMAN BEING during the time we were planning our wedding) but never overbearing. She was organized, persistent (a must throughout 2022, when most vendors required weeks of follow-up to answer a simple email), and clear in every communication.
- Katie managed our three-day wedding with her trademark cheerful confidence and calm efficiency. Our immediate families and bridal party — who had the privilege of seeing her work all weekend — were absolutely dazzled, as were we, by her ingenuity and situational awareness. (One example of the latter: she saw us heading outside for sunset photos and followed us with a crate of leftover petals from our ceremony, just in case our photographer needed them for a shot.) It occurs to us that there are probably dozens of little things that went wrong last weekend that Katie handled before we had a chance to notice. She coordinated a million moving parts beautifully and allowed us to focus on really being present and enjoying every moment with our loved ones.
Katie is now a fixture in our lives and e-mail inboxes, and we look forward to harassing her to hang out with us for years and years to come. -

Hope Sent on 05/22/2023The glue that held everything together - Katie is a SUPERHERO.
Our wedding planning process was a bit of a tornado with a major venue change, vendor cancellations and hundreds of back and forth emails over two full years of planning. Katie handled every single ball that was thrown at her with grace and kindness, and she did it in a timely manner while reassuring me every step of the way. Katie quite literally sent (and followed-up) on THOUSANDS of emails to make our wedding day happen seamlessly, despite many, many bumps in the road that were out of her control. Her and her team were like sunshine on our wedding day, and advocated for us throughout the entire process to be sure our day was everything we dreamed of and more. Katie's team handles dozens of weddings each year, but I somehow regularly found myself feeling like I was her ONLY focus. I can't recommend her enough! -

We had the most amazing experience with Katie as our wedding coordinator! She answered all of our questions and concerns, shared ideas / inspiration and made it such a fun process! She effortlessly connected all of our vendors together to create the perfect day of timeline and had every last detail covered. Our wedding day ran seamless because of her! Any time I needed anything or had a question about a transition or timeline, it was handled. She was always two steps ahead. She allowed us to focus on our day and enjoy it with our friends and family. I could not recommend Social Graces enough to anyone planning their wedding! We could not have done it without them! -

Katie and her team are truly the best in the business. Social Graces checks all the boxes for a wedding planner from the time you have your first consult to the final moments of your wedding. But beyond this, Katie and her team deliver a level of care and attention to detail that is above and beyond. Katie is your advocate through vendor negotiations, a therapist for family issues, and a true friend in all things wedding related. We decided to use a planner for our wedding because our wedding both our venue and our rental company are owned by our families and we wanted to make sure someone besides our them would be running the day so they could relax. And Katie delivered. She executed everything flawlessly while also making sure our families were able to add their own little touches - my dad owns the rental company that put up our tent for the day and she stood back and let him fuss with the tent, knowing it would make him feel better to be in control of this small thing. Where Katie truly went above and beyond though was leaving our reception to drive to my parents house to get me an alternate dress when my dress broke during cocktail hour. She is a hero, she is a visionary, she is your friend, she is everything. Don’t hesitate, book Social Graces! -
