Completely calm thanks to Lauren and the Curated team
I always knew I wanted a wedding coordinator, not just for the day of, but someone I could rely on for guidance along the way—and the Curated team delivered exactly that. Being a very type-A person, I was worried about feeling stressed on the day, but I felt completely calm because I knew Lauren and her team would take care of everything. We didn’t have to worry at all! They followed our setup instructions perfectly and even added thoughtful extra touches we hadn’t thought of ourselves.
As a couple living on the East Coast but getting married on the West Coast, we were especially grateful for Lauren’s generosity in allowing us to ship any wedding items to her home. This made the whole planning process so much easier. We truly appreciated her attention to detail and the seamless execution on our wedding day. As an extra bonus Lauren and her team took little photos and clips throughout the day. This was such a wonderful surprise and so nice to have as we waited to get our professional photos back. -

Best Decision We've Ever Made!!
We first discovered Mary Hicks through a close friend's wedding, which happened just before we got engaged. I remember thinking how stress-free and happy that bride looked, and I knew I wanted the same experience for our wedding. Initially, we tried to navigate the wedding planning process on our own, but we quickly became overwhelmed, especially when it came to choosing a venue. That’s when I reached out to my friend for the name of their planner, and that’s how we began our wonderful journey with Mary!
From our first meeting, we instantly connected with Mary. She immediately understood our personalities and vision. Over the 1.5 years of planning, we had regular check-ins, and Mary kept us on top of our to-dos so we were always ahead of schedule and stress-free.
Mary helped make all decisions a breeze. She always provided us with a short list of vendors that perfectly matched our budget, style and needs, which made all decisions very easy to make. By the end of our planning journey, it felt like she knew us better than we knew ourselves.
On the day of our wedding (May 2024), everything was absolutely perfect. Not a single detail went awry. Mary’s presence and coordination made our special day seamless and incredibly memorable. My dream of being a stress-free bride came true! Our friends and family keep saying our wedding was one of the most beautiful and fun weddings they’ve been to.
I wholeheartedly recommend Mary Hicks to anyone planning their wedding. I cannot imagine having gone through this process without her. She made our day unforgettable, and we will be forever grateful for her exceptional work. We now consider Mary as a friend and will keep in touch with her! Thank you, Mary, for everything! -

The best team!
OH MY GOSH! My wedding day was absolutely perfect and I have Aubrey Silva and the Curated G+W team to thank for that. If you're looking for a wedding planner, this is the most elite team you will ever work with!! I got married on 5/11/24 at Tre Posti in St Helena and every single thing about the day (from the little things to the big things) was exactly as I'd hoped, imagined, and dreamed and I'm beyond thrilled I had this team bringing my vision to life.
Aubrey is the most organized and calm individual to work with and I trusted her with my life on every decision. Our monthly check-in calls were a breeze and she went out of her way to take any task off my plate and made sure I felt supported every step of the way. As a bride, it's so easy to panic and overthink everything, but working with Aubrey eliminated all of that. She responded to every text, email, and call immediately and had the best advice and ideas. Every single vendor she recommended was a 12/10 and there's no way with day would have been anywhere close to what it was without her.
I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR THIS TEAM!!! Thank you for everything!!! -

Thank you Hannah & Curated!
Planning a wedding in Northern California from Los Angeles, my now husband Troy and I knew that hiring a wedding planner was an absolute must-have. We interviewed two different wedding planning companies, and immediately felt that Curated G+W could perfectly execute our clear vision of a timeless, classic, modern romantic wedding. We had an introductory call with Hannah Palmer, and booked soon after.
Hannah totally understood Troy and my style of wedding planning (i.e., easily overwhelmed and quick to get decision fatigue!). Troy and I booked Curated G+W a year plus before our wedding date, so Hannah was intentional with the items we tackled each month and she gave us ample notice when we would embark on new wedding planning boulders. She kept us level headed and above water while we also juggled our usual busy lives!
Hannah was also incredibly adaptable and was seamlessly able to navigate through the changes to our vision, budget, guest count, etc. Hannah was able to simultaneously propose several different plans so that we could weigh our options and make informed decisions. I also love that Hannah wasn’t afraid to give her true thoughts and opinions based on her industry expertise, which made it a lot easier to make tough decisions! I welcomed her input.
As we got closer and closer to the wedding, it took so much stress off our shoulders knowing Hannah was handling all vendor communications! It really helped us stay focused and prioritize not being in the trenches of emails/phone calls.
Hannah really went above and beyond as our wedding planner! Even handling things like getting a custom portrait I had commissioned of Troy and his siblings professionally printed, framed, and gift wrapped in Northern California so that it would be a surprise on our wedding day!
On the day of the wedding, I was 100% stress-free knowing that all our vendors would be arriving on time as she coordinated, any fires (I don’t think there were any!) would be handled by her and her team in the background, and all I had to focus on was marrying the love of my life!
I can’t recommend Hannah and Curated by Grace + White enough! Thank you, all!

Perfect, Stress-Free Wedding Day
Our wedding day was nothing short of perfect, thanks to Sarah and her incredible day-of coordination team. From the moment we decided to work with Sarah as our month-of wedding coordinator, she exhibited a level of professionalism and dedication that immediately put us at ease. Her meticulous planning and attention to detail in the weeks leading up to the big day ensured that every aspect of our wedding was accounted for.
On the day itself, Sarah and her team worked seamlessly to orchestrate a flawless event. Their coordination was impeccable, from managing vendors to keeping the timeline on track. Sarah's ability to handle unexpected situations with grace and composure was truly remarkable. She made quick decisions without ever compromising the quality of our experience, turning potential challenges into mere footnotes in the story of our perfect day.
What sets Sarah apart is not just her organizational skills, but also her genuine care for her clients. She went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and stress-free, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the joy of the occasion. Her calming presence and problem-solving expertise made our wedding day not only beautiful but also enjoyable. We are endlessly grateful to Sarah and her team for turning our wedding dreams into a reality. If you're seeking a coordinator who combines professionalism, warmth, and flawless execution, Sarah is the one for you. Our heartfelt thanks to Sarah for making our special day absolutely magical! -

Best Wedding Planners!
We recently got married on 11.18.2023 and could not ask for a better team. We were blessed to have Carrie help execute our wedding timeline and help us plan accordingly. She contacted our vendors and ensured we were all on the same timeline. No matter how much you think you can plan a wedding yourself, you will not regret hiring a wedding coordinator. They are a blessing in disguise. They will take a load of stress off your plate, especially when the wedding date is near.
On our wedding day, we had the blessing to work with Sara and her team! I can not imagine our wedding day going as smoothly as it did without them. We faced so many hurdles and obstacles due to the rain. But rain or shine my husband and I had the best wedding we could have ever asked for. There were a few moments when we had to make last-minute changes; however, Sara made those changes easy for us, as she did not overwhelm us one bit.
There were so many moments where I could not thank Sara enough. Right before our ceremony, our sand unity broke, and I was in tears. But Sara knew exactly what to say to calm my nerves.
My husband and I could not thank you ladies enough! Seeing all the hard word that they did to make our vision come to life was amazing. To add on to their amazingness, I just remembered that we initially had a content creator who was supposed to be there on our wedding day but backed out the week of. On the day of our wedding rehearsal, Sara informed us that she got us a content creator for our wedding day. This was the best gift that we received for our wedding. If you are looking for a content creator, we would also highly recommend Jenna from Ce Jour Creations. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for the best wedding team, there was no way we could have done it without you. We love you guys so much and highly recommend your team to anyone who is getting married.
Love,
The Shibas -

Book them now!!
I love Mary SO MUCH!!! If I could only write one review for my wedding, it would be for Mary and the whole Curated by Grace + White team. I cannot recommend them enough! Seriously, if you’re a bride to be, go send in your request to them now. You will not regret it. Throughout my entire vendor booking process, whenever someone asked who my coordinator was and I said Mary, they said “Oh, she’s the best.” I wholeheartedly agree!! I am actually sad that we don’t get to work together anymore now that the wedding is over; I loved our chats so much! I felt so taken care of by Mary at every step of the way. She and her team on the day of were complete rockstars. The day after our wedding, my husband commented on how incredibly professional and helpful the Curated by G+W team was. Anything you could possibly want on the day of your wedding, they had it there for you immediately! I initially asked Mary if she needed the two assistants on the day of (I was worried about budget at the time), but I am SO glad Mary stuck to their package and said she needed the assistants. The closer I got to the wedding, the more I wondered if she needed more than 2! They do SO MUCH; I can’t even begin to explain. I know you’ve read that a coordinator is the #1 vendor you need to book, but I didn’t realize how true that was until my own wedding. Just go book Curated by G+W now for your wedding and watch how easy everything becomes. If you get Mary like I did, lucky you!! THANK YOU Mary for making my wedding the best day ever! -

Highly Recommend!!
Words cannot express how grateful we are to Hannah and her team for helping us create a perfect and seamless wedding event consisting of almost 200 guests. She and the Curated by Grace + White team provided us with white glove service every step of the way with professional suggestions on final touches and gentle reminders to keep us on track with the timelines, ensuring we made the most of every precious moment. If you are looking for a coordinator for your event, please look no further. They are the best of the best hands down and worth every bit and more. Thank you so much for the invaluable memories you helped us create. It wouldn’t have been the same without you. -

Best Decision We Made
We worked with Mary from Curated by Grace + White and we tell everyone we possibly can that it was the best decision we made for our wedding. I don't even know where to start on how amazing she was to work with. We were originally scheduled to get married in May of 2020 and had to postpone MULTIPLE times and Mary saved the day in getting all of our vendors moved and working with the venue to accommodate the shifts. Beyond the scheduling, she understood the type of day and vibe we wanted and helped us find the best vendors at the right price and could help us navigate what would make the most impact to our guests and creating the day we wanted. The price of the planning was reasonable to begin with, but when you consider how they help you find vendors within your budget the service essentially paid for itself. Mary was so fun to work with through the whole process and helped us so much in being the sounding board to make decisions. She really got to know us and the type of day we were looking for. When it came to the actual wedding day, I was blown away by the team. Their attention to detail, the way they took care of our guests and family, and made sure the party was fun and kept going (not to mention, on schedule) was unparalleled. They took care of so many little things that we never would have been able to do on our own that made it memorable for our guests. After waiting 2+ years for the big day I worried it wouldn't measure up in my head but it was even better than I could have imagined thanks to having a great planner. I truly can not say enough good things.-

The best possible!
We just had our wedding this past weekend and I'm compelled to write a review for Carrie. She was our DOC and really was so instrumental in our perfect wedding day. Throughout the whole planing process, she's been extremely responsive, organized, and reliable. She took over all of our vendor communication in the final weeks leading up to our wedding and made things super easy for us. We had a few small mishaps on the day of our wedding, and she handled them calmly and efficiently like they were no big deal at all. I went to a wedding recently where the wedding planner was running around like the place was on fire for no good reason, that stressed me out even though I was just a bridesmaid! So I really appreciated Carrie's easygoing and relaxed attitude, like she knew the day was gonna go perfectly from the beginning. if the other planners at Curated by Grace and White are anything like Carrie, I would highly recommend them with no reservations! -

Sara is the Best- Hire Curated by Grace + White NOW!
Sara and her team at Curated by Grace and White went above and beyond and came through for us when we needed it most - you will be so glad you decided to go with her! We got married April 2022 in Napa and it was the best day ever. Just a few things she helped us with through our 12 months together:
-Great organization/note taking - this was very key as our venue was difficult to deal with and not very detail oriented. Sara was able to correct any inaccuracies quickly and kept everything on track.
-Vision - Sara was able to interpret the ideas of our dream wedding day. Every wedding is unique and we had a very specific vision. Sara was so collaborative throughout the vendor selection and gave us a thorough checklist of all the small details.
-Day of issues - Sara will handle EVERYTHING on your wedding day; she did stuff we didn't even know about until after the wedding that honestly averted a few crises that were caused by our venue. She also drove us around in her car to all the places for photos so we didn't have to rely on anyone else. It is hard to put into words just how much she helps and how hard she works for her clients throughout the journey but especially on the wedding day.
-She handled all the vendor interaction on the wedding day and made sure everything was set up correctly and even made last minute changes that enhanced the entire experience.
-Sara helped talk us through some issues we had with other vendors throughout the planning process and provided guidance and empathy to get through the stressful parts of planning a wedding.
Sara is also just a great human being and we felt so lucky to have here - honestly having someone you trust running the show on your wedding day is key and Sara is absolutely worth it! Besides the essential day of services that her team provided, we cannot express how much she helped us the months leading up. Let's face it, planning a wedding can be stressful and Sara was able to help with all the nerves.
We are sad the wedding is over because we don't get to interact with her anymore - book her and the team at Curated by Grace and White; you won't regret it! From the bottom of our heart, thank you Sara for making our dream wedding a reality! -

Great Planner That Handles Everything So You Can Enjoy Your Day!
Sara and her team helped to bring our wedding reception dreams to life! The communication was great, she was warm and happy to help - insisting there are no silly questions or ideas when planning any event. With their help, I was able to really enjoy myself and know that everything was taken care of. Sara was professional, helpful, organized, accommodating, and positive during the entire process. Planning a wedding during these changing times would have been so much more challenging without their help! Highly recommend using With Grace & Love Events for your wedding! -

Best Decision I Ever Made, Best Planner, Best Person
I don't even know where to start. Hiring Sara to help me plan my wedding (during COVID) was the best decision I ever made. She was always available to answer all my questions, immediately understood my vision, and was just always kind and helpful. On my wedding day, we had the biggest storm Napa has ever seen, and she had every shit storm thrown at her, but she handled it so well to the point where I had no idea what was going on. I would hire her over and over again and will recommend her to everyone I know. I've also made a lifelong friend through this process, one that should be stressful but she made it fun and did everything in her power to make sure I had the best day possible. This girl goes above and beyond for not just the bride, but the bridal party, the mother of the bride, and the other vendors. Don't look further!!! -

Review for Carrie Nangle
My husband and I worked with Carrie Nangle at With Grace and Love and we couldn't have been more thrilled. Carrie was there every step along the way of our journey. When we had to postpone our wedding due to Covid restrictions, Carrie took care of reaching out to all of our vendors offering new dates that worked for us, looking over our contracts, making sure everyone was aligned. She also set everything up so beautifully on the day of our wedding and made sure we stayed on track with our timeline. She has such a calm demeanor while always being one step ahead. I would highly recommend working with Carrie! She literally went above and beyond! -

Couldn't of tied the knot without Liz!
We have nothing but positive comments and an overwhelming feeling of gratitude that Liz was our coordinator. Our big day could not have ran any smoother and we know this is all thanks to her and her amazing team. Aside from being extremely helpful with communicating with whatever vendor questions we had prior to the wedding, she kept our wedding planning on track over our 2 year engagement. Liz was impeccable at communication. She always responded promptly to any questions we had, and treated us like royalty on our big day. Throughout our wedding she always asked us if we needed anything, and helped ease our nerves with her organized schedule and positive spirit. My grandparents after the wedding commented that they felt so grateful they were always informed of the timing of the different events the day of. They never had to wonder when we were going to do the toast, or where the cake cutting would take place. Liz made sure to make them feel special. After the wedding her and her team neatly packed up all of our decorations and rentals, making it easy for us to grab the next day. We honestly could not of had a better experience with WGL and just love Liz so much!! -

Best Decision We Made!
There’s very little that could be said to truly honor what Carrie and her team at With Grace & Love have done for us. When planning a wedding, hiring a wedding coordinator might seem like a luxury rather than necessity, but it wasn’t long before we realized how integral Carrie was to every aspect of our wedding. From the moment we met with Carrie, her low-key, kind demeanor and patience with our oh-so-terrible communication made coordinating endless details feel effortless. While we only hired her for day of coordination, we felt so supported with every detail, suggestion, and item she researched on our behalf well before our wedding day arrived.
When COVID hit, and we found ourselves having to reschedule our wedding entirely, it was Carrie who comforted us and somehow magically managed to get all 6 of our vendors to agree to a new date. And, as we approached our wedding day, Carrie took the reins and made it so easy for us to be able to truly enjoy the experience without stressing over timelines or setup and break down. From the decor they artfully put out with zero direction from us, to the fact that we quite literally never had to lift a finger (even to drink!), we would not have survived planning a wedding through COVID if it weren’t for Carrie and her team. We are forever grateful for the memories With Grace & Love helped us to create! 5 stars simply isn't enough to show our love for Carrie and her team! -

Pulled off A Magical Miracle
It's taken me a while to review because I have not been able to find the words to express what With Grace & Love Events was able to do for us. They pulled off nothing short of a miracle, and literally did it With Grace & Love.
Long story short, my wedding date was over a year away when I was suddenly diagnosed with Cancer. During my appointment with the Oncologist, I requested that we hold off starting Chemotherapy for just one week so that I could plan a wedding and get married. Everyone thought I was crazy. I thought I was crazy. But I wanted to get married in the best of health and was determined to do it.
Somehow I was linked up with Liz, and I'm pretty sure it was a cosmic meeting. From our first phone call I knew that she could pull this off and I had been connected with a true Professional.
During our ONE WEEK together, she was able to create the wedding of my dreams from complete scratch. Not a quick "Let's get hitched" type of deal, but a full blown, nothing left out, no compromises needed, absolute dream of a day. I rattled off a list of "wishes" knowing that most things probably could never happen with no notice...but hey, I figured I would try! Liz was able to create and support my vision for the ceremony and reception, make suggestions that were useful, cost saving, and realistic...she was able to secure a String Trio to play, procure one of kind pieces for our vintage Bride and Groom lounge set up, link me up with hair and makeup, the last limo bus in town, coordinate with events, DJ, rentals, photography, videography, florals...AND..she searched to the ends of the Earth to find me a baker to make a Geode Cake-and found one (it was the most impossible thing on just a few days notice, as was the rest of it all!)
She is truly one of a kind and I was so thankful to have her at my side that day. She is professional, genuine, kind, and gets the job done! I never was left waiting for a response. I felt she was my advocate for every avenue of the day. Securing the best services at the best price, controlling hiccups, thinking of many little things that I never would have on my own. Even down to a joyfully tearful moment we shared as she sent me down the aisle, I felt truly cared for on such a special day. I knew I was in good...no, the best of hands.
I highly recommend Liz and her team at With Grace & Love Events. I am forever grateful to them for creating one of the most Beautiful days of our lives.-

Best Decision We Could've Made - Allstar Planning Team!
Sara and her team were absolutely incredible. We had to postpone three times because of COVID and would not have survived the last two years without this team. When we started the wedding planning process, my then fiancé was iffy about needing hiring a wedding planning team and to this day he tells everyone that the best wedding decision we made was hiring Sara and her team. My husband and I do not live in the area so we relied on Sara to guide us throughout the process and she exceeded every single one of our expectations. She made herself available via call/text whenever I had a question or needed to vent about wedding stress, communicated with all vendors for us, and even negotiated with the venue for us during a crazy year. Even on the wedding day, I was incredibly anxious and having Sara around made me feel better because I knew she was organized, on top of everything and knew how to handle any situation that may come up. Our wedding day was perfect and such a dream.. none of which would have happened as smoothly as it did without Sara. I gained a friend in Sara over the last few years and one of the sadder moments of the wedding finally happening is not texting/emailing with Sara everyday! I can't recommend Sara enough. If you are looking for a wedding planner or coordination team for your wedding or event - you cannot go wrong with their team. We are so appreciative and grateful for With Grace and Love Events, we love you Sara!-

Legendary Service and Flawless Execution
I am so happy with our choice to go with "With Grace and Love". Although they are the more pricier choice for a wedding planner service, they are worth every cent. We had a quick engagement (engaged in November and married in late April on a new private estate), and Mary and her team executed it perfectly. There were a lot of moving parts (as always with weddings), but we were also the first wedding to take place at a new venue, so that obviously increased the risk. When I was interviewing Mary for my planner, she brought up different things that are important to a "soft opening" event that I did not even think of, so she was on it from the start.
Throughout our short engagement, she was directly involved and quickly responded to any texts/calls I sent her way (especially in the week leading up!). I felt I was in such good hands, which took care a lot of my stress. All their hard work leading up to the wedding truly paid off, as during the day of I felt like I was just seemlessly floating to one event to the next. I cannot reccomend this team enough.
Thank you!! -

Best decision we made for our wedding day!
Having a day of coordinator was the best decision we made for our wedding day. We worked with Kayla for my wedding at Park Winters. She was absolutely fantastic and went above and beyond day of coordination. She is such a calm light, but she has a fire in her and gets things done. She was always so responsive, kind, patient, honest, and always checked in on me along the way to make sure everything was going smoothly and that I was ok. When my wedding had to get postponed twice because of COVID, she communicated with all my vendors on my behalf and was able to set new dates within a couple hours. She was so quick and efficient I was so blown away. She was honest with my options when my wedding had to be postponed and she offered so much help in navigating my planning during the pandemic. On the days leading up to my wedding, my rehearsal, and the day of my wedding I always felt her presence and she was ready to be there whenever I needed her. My wedding day was an absolute dream because of her and was way better than I could have ever imagined. I had given instructions for all my decorations and she took initiative to make the changes she saw fit to make everything work better and everything she and her team did made everything so much more beautiful and perfect. I had such a large wedding party, but she was able to handle everyone with such grace and professionalism and my ceremony went so smoothly. Even my family felt so well taken care of that day and they kept telling me how awesome Kayla was. I couldn’t have enjoyed my wedding day as much I did without Kayla and With Grace and Love Events. -

Fabulous beyond words!
Mary and her team made my daughter's wedding during these pandemic times MAGICAL!! Beyond words...it was fabulous, better than we could have hoped.
As the mother of the bride that resides out of town, I depended on this team to take care of all those details that I was not here to handle! They were superb, totally professional , and spot on with their advice... on regret that I don't live in town to pass their name along to friends and family. -

My Telenovela Wedding
Words cannot express my gratitude for Mary. My wedding was something out of a telenovela! It was the PERFECT wedding and I couldn't have pulled it off without her. She took my crazy ideas and brought them to life. It was a perfect blend of romance and sexiness.
Mary is a top-notch planner and I am incredibly lucky to have had her help. She always made use feel as though she had everything 100% under control and took very good care of my family. Trust me, you want this from a planner!! The day of the wedding ran so smoothly. Everything, every person, every moment. Thank you Mary, see you in 9 years!

Kayla is amazing
Kayla is truly amazing. During the months leading up to my wedding Kayla was there whenever I needed her with her warm and positive presence. She answered all my questions, which often arrived in frantic emails, and gave me peace of mind in my planning. Whenever I had a weird request, like finding giant wooden boards for an escort card display at the eleventh hour, she calmly found the solution. Everything that was a priority to me and my partner on our wedding day Kayla noted and made sure it happened. Little emergencies, like how I had accidentally wrinkled my wedding dress, were quickly and calmly resolved through her direction. Above all, Kayla is a genuine, kind, and caring person. I always felt heard and understood by Kayla. Like the name “With Grace & Love Events” Kayla is full of grace and you could feel how much love she puts into her work. Kayla kept everything running smoothly up to and during my wedding day. I was hesitant to book coordination services because I thought I would be able to get by without it. I’m so glad we ended up booking with With Grace & Love Events. Coordination services with Kayla was the single best investment we made in our wedding. I’m so grateful to have met her this year and cannot recommend her enough. -

Best Wedding Planning Decision!
We came to Sara with disorganized Pinterest boards, high stress levels and big dreams and she worked her magic and brought our vision and personalities to life. After our first meeting with Sara there wasn't any question of whether we wanted to hire her. Sara was a calming presence when we needed it most, assuring us we were on track with our planning and offering so many helpful tips. Hiring With Grace and Love for full coordination on our wedding day was by far the best decision we made during our wedding planning process!
Sara was there for us every step of the way - from planning and researching countless vendors to making sure every last box was packed up on our wedding night! Sara even made herself available after our wedding for any questions or issues. There wasn't anything Sara left us to manage on our own.
On the day of our wedding, Sara took care of every little detail. She thought of things we wouldn't have...like picking up lunches for our wedding party and making sure we had drinks, appetizers and a quiet moment after the ceremony. Sara's team took a blank canvas of an outdoor venue and turned it into something magical, a wedding that really brought to life our vision and dreams and incorporated so many personal touches.
We can truly say that we don't know of a single thing that didn't go according to plans on our wedding day...everything from our perspective happened without pause and we are still getting compliments 6 months later! Trust us, you can't go wrong with having Sara on your team and you won't find another planner as special and supportive as she is. We would not have had our dream wedding without Sara and WG&L! -

My day was a dream, because of Kayla.
When planning my wedding, the most useful thing my money went to was my wedding planner kayla!!!!! There are no words to describe my experience, but simply amazing. Kayla worked day in and day out for a full year, when planning my wedding. She responded to my billions of questions, right away. No matter what time it was, Kayla was constantly perfecting planning my wedding. Everything turned out so beautiful, and it was all because of her. My day was so perfect that I felt as if it was a dream, Kayla seriously has a gift for wedding planning, and I am so lucky to have been able to have gotten her as my wedding planner. Don’t hesitate to reach out and book, just do it because I promise you, it is worth every penny. -

Best wedding planner out there!!
The best decision was hiring Sara and With Grace & Love Events to help plan and execute my private estate wedding. From the very start, I loved Sara! Through the entire process she was always very transparent with me about all aspects of planning my DREAM wedding and didn't drop the ball on anything. She always responded to my hundreds (and I MEAN HUNDREDS) of texts, emails, and calls promptly. I always felt like I had her support 100% of the time, which made for a wedding day that was stress free. My now husband even commented "WOW, Sara really is full service". There aren't enough positive things I can say about working with Sara and her team at With Grace & Love Events. If you are looking for an amazing, supportive, confident wedding planner look no further! I'd hire Sara again in a heartbeat :) -

Amazing!!!
If I could have married Sara instead of my husband the day of our wedding, I would have! She is such a kind soul with a exquisite eye for detail. I was able to take the backseat and let Sara and Team at With Grace and Love Events handle all the details the day of the wedding. She executed everything that I wanted seamlessly. If you are on the fence about getting a wedding planner, time to cross over that fence and leave the magic to Sara. She provides top line services to allow you to really enjoy your day. My husband and I will be forever grateful to With Grace and Love Events for making our dreams come true on our wedding day ❤️ -

The best decision of our wedding planning process!!
We feel so lucky to have found Sara and her amazing team at With Grace & Love Events! If you are like us and contemplating whether a planner is really worth it, the answer is: YES! If you have Sara, it is totally worth every penny! We truly feel our wedding went off without a hitch because of Sara and her great attention to detail.
As a very busy working couple, we had very little time to put towards planning our wedding, and very little experience with planning anything at all. We came to Sara with a venue picked out and a handful of Pinterest photos. Sara was able to take our mixed ideas and transform our vision into a stunning instagram-worthy reality.
Sara helped us with all aspects of the wedding process. She helped get us in touch with our amazing A-list vendors, find/create our wedding invitations, double check contracts before signing, and even bustled my dress while handing my new husband and I a cocktail after the ceremony! She was literally on top of every single detail.
On the day of the wedding, my husband and I were walking around and seeing everything for the first time. We often found ourselves getting emotional seeing all of our abstract ideas becoming a reality. Sara literally got everything perfect down to the little minor details.
We picked a late May wedding date because we didn’t want to risk being rained out. Unfortunately, a freak California rainstorm occurred. Being a type-A bride, I was panicked all week about something I couldn’t control. Sara called us multiple times during the week just to make sure we were okay. Sara not only made several contingency plans for the rain (including securing a tent last minute), but by the end of the night we were actually ecstatic that it rained. We couldn’t imagine a more perfect wedding!
Not only was the planning of the wedding not stressful, the more surprising part was how unstressed we were the day of the wedding. We were able to just relax, have fun, and enjoy being surrounded by all of our friends and family. We could not have done this without Sara!
With as much as Sara did for us, it still feels like this review doesn’t do her justice. Her communication, artistic style, and attention to detail is unrivaled. It’s been six months since the wedding, and we are still getting asked who planned it.
Go hire With Grace & Love Events. It will be the best decision you’ll ever make!-

Mary is amazing!
Though we hired WGL to do our day-of coordination, our communication with Mary began weeks, even months out. I started texting / emailing with her in December 2018 (our wedding was in May 2019) regarding the timeline and other details. She was always quick to respond and helpful despite it being so far out. She was also great about suggesting vendors based on individuals / companies she had worked with before, all the while being conscious of our budget.
Leading up to the wedding, for all the tiny little details that inevitably came up, Mary was lightning fast to respond and managed to ease our many concerns. A couple of areas where we thought she went above and beyond the call of duty for day-of coordination services:
-Calling hotels on our behalf to open up more rooms when our original blocks filled up faster than expected
-Suggesting hair artists when I left it to the last minute to book one
-Immediately suggesting a plan B when my husband's tuxedo order got messed up by the rental company (which we did end up using because they messed it up more than once), and following up a few times to make sure we were squared away here
-Checking the weather like a hawk and coming up with multiple plans when it showed it was going to rain on our wedding day; this includes shopping for, and rush ordering (on two days' notice) ~60 or so clear umbrellas to her house and bringing them for us
In short, she was amazing and I give her nothing but the highest recommendation. Mary is ultra prepared and thorough, and there's no better feeling than the 100% confidence she gives you that your wedding day is handled!! -

Best money we spent on our wedding.
We hired Sara & WGL Events for our June 2019 wedding at The Maples. She was the best money we spent on our wedding. Initially, I was not going to hire a wedding coordinator, except that our venue required at least a day of coordinator. I was of the mindset that I am a very organized person and can manage this on my own. How thankful I am that I had to hire a coordinator, Sara was worth every penny. She helped us better understand what we didn't understand about planning a party for 200 people. Her comprehension of the industry, vendors, norms, etc. was so helpful. We had my father in law officiate our wedding (his first time doing so) and she was a wonderful help to make sure every last detail went off smoothly with the ceremony. As for the day of, her team worked so incredibly hard to set up the wedding and arrange the decor, as well as breakdown the wedding so we could continue our celebration. Had I not hired her, I am not sure how smoothly this would have gone. All the parents/ family members noted multiple times how wonderful she was. She would politely let us know when a critical moment like speeches, cake cutting, etc. was about to happen. Both my husband and I were so incredibly grateful for our decision to hire With Grace & Love for our wedding. I would highly recommend With Grace & Love Events to anyone planning a wedding or large party. -

Mary is the best!
I don't even know how to put into words how amazing Mary was. She made our wedding day go so smooth and stress free, her calm laid back personality makes you feel at ease on a day that can be super stressful. She coordinated and worked so well with all of our vendors to keep everybody informed and on track. She went above and beyond and took care of things I didn't even expect, she picked up our desserts the morning of the wedding, brought the entire bridal party lunch, went on a champagne run when we ran out in the bridal suite, and probably so much more that I didn't even see because she never stopped moving the entire day, and didn't bother me with details or problems, she just handled it. She was so responsive with ALL of my questions and even helped with decisions on design elements. I'm honestly sad I don't have an excuse to text her all the time. My bridesmaids and guests were even raving about the level of service that With Grace & Love provided on our wedding day. We cant recommend them enough, and we're so grateful Mary made our day so perfect. -

Best decision you could make! (other than your hubby)
Hiring Grace and Love Events was the BEST decision I could have made for my wedding. There are not enough words to describe the work, effort, and thoughtfulness that Sara added to my day. I am a type A (control freak) and her talent, execution, and calmness allowed me to give up all control and have the most seamless day ever. From a day of coordinator to the whole process, no matter what she helps with its worth every penny plus some! My day was everything I could of thought of and thats due to Grace and Love Events. Thank you thank you thank you. -

Great experience With Love and Grace
Carrie and With Grace and Love were wonderful to work with. Having never planned a wedding before, they brought in timelines and suggestions to keep the day on schedule and moving. Our friends who work events (DJ and Cake maker) both sent glowing reviews working with Carrie and With Grace and Love.
I would absolutely work with them again. And I absolutely recommend them to friends.
The wedding day was zero stress from the details of vendors and coordination. They enabled us to be focused on enjoying our wedding. -

Highly recommend for coordination at Park Winters!
We hired With Grace & Love Events to do our wedding day-of-coordination at Park Winters. We were paired with Mary Hicks, who was absolutely lovely to work with! Mary had gotten married at Park Winters and ran many weddings there, so she knew exactly how things would flow and how to get the best out of the venue.
We only did day-of-coordination because we had a year to plan the wedding and we figured we could save some money if we found the vendors ourselves. Our budget got out of hand really fast and dealing with vendors was a bit stressful. If I could do it all over again, I would have hired Mary for full wedding planning because we realized we would have ultimately saved money that way and some of the vendors we had some issues with could have been avoided.
Even with day-of-coordination, Mary was always available early on to answer our many many questions. Every time we got off a call with her or got answers back via email, we felt less stressed. With Grace and Love provides access to AislePlanner, which is a great online tool to manage all your wedding planning. Mary had access as well, so we could collaborate on the planning. As the wedding got closer, Mary took over handling the loose ends with the vendors and making sure all the vendors knew the timeline and where to go.
During the wedding weekend Mary was our guide and made sure we were relaxed and having fun. She ran a rehearsal for us the Friday before and was there every step of the way on Saturday. We didn't have to worry about what to do when, we just stayed in the moment and Mary found us when it was time to do the next thing and she guided us through. Mary even went the extra mile and printed the name cards for us, let us borrow table numbers she had, and made sure to return the rented pieces from Freeport Bakery.
We highly recommend Mary Hicks and With Grace and Love Events. We loved working with Mary and even miss her now that the wedding is over! -

Fabulous Wedding Planner
Sara and her team were invaluable before and during the wedding. As the Mother of the Bride I met with Sara before the wedding to help narrow down the vendor list because my daughter lived out of state. Sara was easy to communicate with, helped us stay within our budget, kept us organized and on schedule. At first I didn't think we needed a wedding planner; however, after hiring Sara With Grace and Love, I cannot imagine not having her by our side each step of the way. I highly recommend Sara and her team for your special wedding day. -

Mary from With Grace & Love was absolutely amazing! She was incredibly helpful throughout the planning process, never hesitating to go above and beyond my expectations to make sure I had what I needed. She was always available, even for the simplest questions at obscure times and helped keep me in check with things that were actually important vs details I shouldn't worry about. On the day of my wedding, she was calm, quickly solved any hiccups and never once made me worry about anything. We felt so completely taken care of by her and her team. I could go on and on about how wonderful they were, but the bottom line is that I HIGHLY recommend With Grace & Love Events! -

Sara and her team were an absolute necessity and one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! We got married at Park Winters this past weekend and Sara was our day-of coordinator. Way before the actual wedding date, Sara was helping us with advice, recommendations, and organization – and the tool she provided was so helpful for staying on top of everything. The actual wedding day (and the day before at our rehearsal) it was the BEST handing everything over to Sara – she coordinated our families for the rehearsal, took all of the decor off our hands, SET UP AND BROKE DOWN everything which was awesome!! I was happy, excited and relaxed on my wedding day because Sara was handling everything stressful, and I walked down the aisle with a huge smile. She truly let my husband and I just enjoy and be happy and party with our friends and family, which was a priceless gift. All of the little details really added up to make us feel so special and taken care of, like getting us snacks and champagne during our alone time after the ceremony, and having pizza and drinks with our vow books and my bouquet set up in our room on our wedding night. Can't recommend With Grace & Love Events highly enough! -

Groom: Words cannot describe how happy my new wife and I are with Sara! Her calming presence, pleasant demeanor and attention to detail were second to none. Sara handled all situations throughout the day with a smile and a great attitude! What a blessing it is to have someone you can truly trust on the most important day of your life! We are suggesting Sara to all of our newly engaged friends!
Bride: Sara was seriously amazing and a life saver on our wedding day! We hired her for day of coordination and I can’t imagine what our wedding would have been like without her. She is quick and to the point and does not miss one detail. There was a point when I wasn’t wearing my garter and it was moments to the garter toss and she ran around to find it for me. Everything went so smoothly and even if there was a hiccup I had no idea. My whole family and every single one of my bridesmaids and groomsmen said how awesome she was. I was sad to say goodbye and will definitely be recommending her to everyone! -

Worth. Every. Penny.
Mary is magic.
Hiring WG&L was, hands down, the smartest decision we made and guaranteed a perfect day. I am super organized and a control freak, yet I trusted Mary 100%. She went above and beyond day-of coordination even though this was the scope of her contract. In the months leading up to our nuptials she made time for phone calls and was very responsive to my texts and dilemmas. She helped answer all of my wedding protocol questions and navigate family dynamics. Her insight is invaluable.
Our wedding day was VERY HOT and she tracked the weather like a hawk, updating me on forecasts and offering suggestions. While providing advice she also gave me complete freedom to choose and respected my opinion-- with the weather and with a million other details. When I needed help nudging vendors she nudged, and she had my back every moment from the first days of planning to the sparkler exit. She bustled my dress, dried my happy tears, and ordered us pizza for a 2am post-wedding feast. No detail is forgotten with Mary-- she is a gem of human and an expert wedding planner.
Mary is the most friendly person and since my wedding I've missed being in touch with her. She really becomes a friend along the path of planning, and is always poised, professional and empathic. I could not adore or recommend her more. -

Hiring Sara, the owner of With Grace & Love Events, as our planner for my July 2017 wedding was the SINGLE BEST DECISION my husband and I made during our wedding planning process. We were initially EXTREMELY hesitant to hire a planner for various reasons, mainly -- 1) We wanted to minimize extraneous costs wherever possible, and 2) I really thought I could probably handle things myself come wedding day. We chose the day-of coordination package, but Sara want SO far beyond the call of duty for our package it isn't even funny. She was involved in nearly every aspect of our wedding in the countdown towards the big day, and COMPLETELY took the reins in the final weeks -- leaving me, my husband, my parents and bridal party to simply show up to our wedding, be fully present in every moment, and enjoy the day to its absolute fullest. She was worth every single penny spent, and then some (and even SAVED us a ton of cash by putting us in contact with some incredible vendors we would have had no idea about otherwise).
Wedding day: My husband and I truly felt like first class guests at our own wedding. All we had to do was show up to the most perfectly executed event I have ever seen, and have a blast. The end. SARA HANDLED EVERYTHING. SARA THINKS OF EVERYTHING. (And when I say everything, I mean everything -- and she'll think of it and handle it before you even have a chance to.)
SARA LITERALLY KNOWS ALL, DOES ALL, AND MAKES IT LOOK EFFORTLESS. Her intuition for the wedding industry is uncanny. Any meeting or conversation with her is like catching up with an amazing friend. It is literally impossible to be stressed out or nervous in her presence. She somehow flawlessly meshes with anyone of any personality type that exists. She carries herself with such profound poise -- "With Grace and Love" couldn't be more accurate.
I fully attribute the absolute crazy success of our wedding day to Sara and her team. THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS FOR ALL YOU DO!!! -

I am a pretty organized person who is used to managing large projects and juggling lots of things at once. But on your wedding day, you want to relax knowing that all your hard work planning and your vision will come together by someone who knows how to get it done right. Sara and the team at With Grace and Love are those people!
Sara was such an amazing help to us and our families throughout the wedding planning process. From making vendor recommendations, answering questions about rental items and timelines, to personally searching several different craft stores to help find the right shade of grey poster board for my welcome sign, Sara was always available and quick to respond and help! She was even so kind to help my mother-in-law pull off a beautiful rehearsal dinner the evening before, totally going above and beyond!
When the weather began to turn for the worse the week before our outdoor wedding, Sara called or texted me daily with updates and recommendations, and made sure to understand exactly what we wanted so she could make it happen on the day if at all possible. I never doubted throughout the planning process (and especially on my wedding day) that she had our interests in mind first, always keeping a calm and friendly demeanor while still very much in control of the whole event.
Me, my husband, and our families all wholeheartedly recommend With Grace and Love. They were so fun, knowledgeable, easy to work with, and made our special day come together without a hitch. I am so grateful that we picked Sara to help coordinate our wedding, we truly couldn't have done it without her! -

My wedding would not have turned out as amazing as it did if I had not work with Sara! I have absolutely no regrets about hiring Sara as my day of coordinator because she was so much more than that. Sara was available from the day I hired her (about 8 months before my wedding) until even the day after my wedding! I was able to ask her questions like the best timeline for the wedding so I could figure out a ceremony start time to put on my invitations, and questions about vendor contracts.
Sara was a huge help when the weather decided to get a little crazy on me two weeks before the wedding, the chance of rain fluctuated from 20% to 70% chance rain all the way up until the wedding day! Sara helped us figure out a rain plan (I had a plan A, B, and C), and she even helped book a tent rental for our rain plan and she let us use a credit she had with a rental company! We had a little issue with the open bar at our venue the day of the wedding, and Sara took care of everything without having to get my husband and I involved! And I said Sara was even available to help the day after the wedding, our lighting vendor really messed up and did not take down some lighting at the scheduled time and there was an event the next day. Sara was able to help us straighten things out. These were all things I realized after the wedding!
I was definitely stressed the last couple weeks before the big day, especially because of the weather, but Sara was always available to chat, she was always energetic and excited, and she assured me that if I trusted her, everything would turn out great, and it really honestly did! She really knows what she is doing. Sara makes you feel like you are her only client (even though I'm sure she has a lot going on), she helps figure out solutions to problems without compromising your wedding plans, she takes care of situations on the day of your wedding without getting you involved, she does not push her own agenda, but offers her experience! -

Sara is simply THE BEST. She's incredibly organized, professional, knowledgable, talented and kind. Immediately she put us at ease with her calm yet assertive demeanor. As our wedding planner she helped to make the process as fun and stress free as possible. We completely trusted her opinion, appreciated her style and greatly valued her honesty. Her patience and attention to detail truly makes for perfection. She definitely went above and beyond and I would highly recommend her to any future bride & groom. We felt extremely lucky to have had the opportunity to work with her! -

Sara is very knowledgeable about all aspects of wedding planning. We are Garden Wishes Sacramento, her preferred florist, and LOVE working with her during the planning phase and wedding day execution of the event. She is super organized with a lovely, calm, friendly personality. You will LOVE working with Sara Renfro, with Grace and Love Events. We highly recommend booking her early to get her on the calendar.

Pick With Grace and Love! Pick Sara! You will be so happy you did!
I used this team for partial-coordination and day-of coordination for my wedding on May 21st of this year.
With Grace and Love Events gave me the most perfect wedding in every way! She took my ideas and inspiration and materialized it, literally to a T. I only wish I could articulate how dreamily wonderful my wedding was. I have heard from over half of my wedding guests, “that was the best wedding I have ever been to!”
Specifically, Sara is the most proactive and helpful person I have ever worked with in any dimension of my life. She is inexplicably organized and motivated. Let me also mention how very patient and professional she is working with crazy brides like myself! Everyone in my family, myself included, was expansively impressed with her throughout the entire planning process and the day of… and they verbalized it often!
I’m not sure if Sara slept at all in the 6 months we worked together. She was available (nearly) 24 hours a day and 7 days a week to chat with me, answer any questions, and quell all my wedding-related panic attacks! She coordinated with all my vendors countless times, scheduled payments, and nailed down every detail of the day. She has a plethora of connections in the wedding world and made my all decisions effortless. I continue to tell everyone that not a single thing went wrong or astray on my wedding day. I sincerely believe that is because of Sara’s organization. I can’t name a single thing that I had to “handle” – Sara took care of literally everything and if anything needed to be worked out, I didn’t hear anything about it! The day rolled out seamlessly and all I had to do was sit back and be pretty! This could be you!
I really enjoyed getting to know Sara over the last 6 months. She is truly a treasure and I appreciate her so much! I can’t encourage you enough to pick this team for your dream wedding! -
