If you're looking for someone who can handle wedding planning like a Zen master juggling flaming…read moretorches, hire Mae. From the very first moment we met with her, we were both enchanted by the charm of her beautifully peaceful calm demeanor. She immediately made us feel at ease and confident that we were in the best possible hands. From the very beginning, she took our slightly unusual requests (minimal decor, natural beauty, somehow on the beach and in the forest at the same time) and found us a venue so perfect it still feels like a dream. We didn't just get nice views, we got a place where the ocean and the trees literally met. Mae handled everything: vendor coordination, scheduling, payments, deposits, communication, all without us having to lift more than an occasional pen. She kept our budget on point and never tried to push extras we didn't want, but she also spoke up when a choice might backfire. That honesty saved us from more than a few bad calls. The standout moment for us was right before the wedding when our dog boarding caretaker threatened to have our puppy picked up for "aggression" (spoiler: the dog was just being a puppy). Without missing a beat, Mae stepped in, de-escalated the whole thing, and made sure our furry family member was safe and cared for, all while keeping wedding prep running smoothly. That kind of problem-solving under pressure is priceless. Beyond her skillset, Mae is just a genuinely beautiful person, calm, sweet, warm, loving, and somehow able to keep us calm during what could have been a very stressful process. Thanks to her, our wedding wasn't just organized, it was the absolute best day of our lives. We feel forever attached to her and can't imagine our wedding without her. If she's available for your date, book her. You'll be grateful you did.

We booked the wedding day management package and were very happy with the amount of check-ins and guidance that Mae offered in the lead-up to our wedding.

We had the pleasure of having Jess as our coordinator and she absolutely killed it. Our whole family and wedding party raved about how awesome she was. She kept everyone on schedule, was flexible, helpful, funny, and attentive. We loved her. Even when we had some mishaps she handled everything with grace and fixed any issue that we had. We also used dragonfly rentals for all our chairs, chargers, candles, etc. and they were seamless to work with. They completed our vision perfectly. Thank you to the whole dragonfly team!

We hired Ramona as our wedding coordinator, and while things seemed fine leading up to the big day,…read morewe started to notice some passive-aggressive behavior as the wedding got closer. Unfortunately, on the actual wedding day, my family had to step in and handle several things that were supposed to be managed by the coordinator and her team. There were quite a few promises made during the planning process that simply weren't kept, and it added unnecessary stress to what should have been a smooth and enjoyable day. While some parts of her work were okay, the lack of follow-through and professionalism on the day itself was really disappointing. I wouldn't recommend based on our experience

We truly cannot say enough amazing things about Ramona. We…read morehad absolutely no clue what we were doing when we started planning our wedding; we didn't even have a clear vision for the day. But from the moment we began working with her, everything fell into place. She took the time to get to know us, helped craft a beautiful vision for our wedding, and guided us through the entire process with so much patience and expertise. Even though Ramona was technically our "day of" coordinator, she was with us every step of the way. Her responsiveness was incredible - every time we had a question (and there were plenty!), she was quick to reply with the perfect solution. She was calm, confident, and took care of everything, making even the most complicated parts of planning seem easy. On the wedding day, nothing went wrong - seriously, not one thing. Ramona had everything under control, handling every detail flawlessly. We didn't have to stress about a single thing, which allowed us to have the most perfect day. We are forever grateful for how she made our wedding so seamless and enjoyable. Honestly, Ramona is a total bada**! If you want a coordinator who is not only incredibly organized and responsive but also brings a level of calm, confidence, and total control to your day, look no further. We can't recommend Ramona enough; she helped make our wedding day everything we dreamed of and more! Thank you a million and one times, Ramona!

Chelsey was someone I felt confident handing the reins to! I hired her as a day of coordinator but her cool demeanor and flexibility made her an easy friend too. She ended up being stuck with us longer than originally planned because of Covid and I am so thankful for that, not only did it is give each other longer to work together but it also gave us the opportunity to use her awesome photo booth! It was a total hit at the wedding! Chelsey was always prompt at answering my texts or calls, she remained professional even when other vendors didn't, and, most important of all, she had my back. Thank you Chelsey! For everything!!

She really got my vision and offered options to make things as affordable as possible while still sticking to my overall vision. She is responsive ( gets back to you quickly ) and is super flexible with changes you may ask of her along the way. I really enjoyed brainstorming with her and when my big day finally came- my most favorite feature of my wedding were my flowers. I had so manny little mishaps on my wedding day, from bad weather moving my ceremony inside, to late photographers, to not getting my cake- but the bouquets and arrangements Jane and her staff put together and displayed made my day. When she delivered my bouquets, I was a mess due to the mishaps that already occurred but when I saw the bouquet she made me, I was brought to tears of joy because it was everything I wanted and then some. It was perfect. I still fawn over the arrangements she created for the arch (which was somewhat last minute because I originally didn't have an arch nor was it supposed to be indoors) as well as exactly the style I wanted for the aisle arrangements. She and her crew definitely played a huge role in saving what could have been a disastrous day for me. I am truly thankful to have worked with Jane and I'll always have the fond memory of how gorgeous my bouquets and centerpieces were on my special day. Thank you Jane and Wedding Possibilities staff!!!!

Best money you could ever invest for your wedding!! I was introduced to Grace through a mutual…read morefriend. I was on the fence about whether or not I needed a planner since the venue I was leaning towards was pretty inclusive. I decided to hire Grace and I am so glad I did. She made the planning process so easy and stress free for us. She worked with our budget and found us affordable vendors who did an amazing job as well. She took our vision and made it a reality. We rented our decor through her which took off the stress of having to deal with disposing of a bunch of wedding decor after the event. The day of the wedding, the decor was absolutely beautiful and she and her team coordinated everything so perfectly that if anything went wrong, no one knew. Everyone kept telling me how amazing everything looked. We are forever grateful to her for giving us the wedding of our dreams

If you're a bride to be and don't want any additional stress, look for another wedding coordinator!…read more I met Grace at a wedding food tasting at Morgan Creek Golf Club. She seemed very professional, friendly, and helpful that's why me and my now husband decided to hire her...BIG MISTAKE AND BIG WASTE OF MONEY! She charged us $1000 to coordinate our wedding the "Day Of" (Note- the contract states that the "Day Of package" starts 8-6 weeks before the wedding)...Well, our wedding was 3 weeks away and I had to contact her to remind her about my wedding! Once I did that, we set up an appointment to discuss wedding details. Now, the day of the appointment she was few minutes late (which I hated because I had my 3 month old baby with me and I was on a schedule to feed him). Plus, I just hated the fact that she was late! In my opinion wedding coordinators are like real estate agents, they need to arrive before the client does! At the end of the appointment she told me that "everything was on her hands now and that everything would be less stressful for me." Well, complete lies! Vendors were still contacting me and I still had to deal with a lot of stuff. When I asked her if she had contacted all the vendors, she told me she was "too busy" and that she "would do it soon." I mean, my wedding was around the corner and she was "too busy" to do the things I hired for! The day of the rehearsal we were supposed to meet 30 mins before anyone would get there to discuss about the decorations she was going to set up. Well, once again she was LATE! She got there when everyone else did, so we couldn't talk freely. Also, that day she brought her assistant because she had other "things to do," and her assistant took over our rehearsal. I paid her to be there, and she only showed up for 10 mins! The day of the wedding she was there, but from what I heard and saw she did very little. I actually think the venue coordinator did more for us (bringing us food and drinks, making sure we were comfortable, etc) than Grace. Not to mention that my husband told me that at the end of the event, him and his best man (wearing their tuxedos) were cleaning the venue and bridal room because she wasn't doing it! Something we paid for! To end this review, Grace completely disappointed me and my husband. We were not happy with her business and we felt like it was a waste of money. The funny part is that if you go to her instagram page @gracefulgatherings she reposted our wedding video making it seem like she did a great job, when in fact she was the worst vendor we had. So I'm hoping she removes our video from her page because we do not recommend her at all!
