Extremely disappointed in the services that were provided. I hired Grace because she was at a photoshoot I was working on which was a staged wedding for a magazine. She seemed very friendly and professional in person which is why I hired her for my wedding. The pictures she has on her website are from a photoshoot not an actual wedding and that was the shoot I was in. Firstly, I found out she was trying to charge me for things my venue provided free of charge. I hired Grace to be my wedding planner and throughout the planning everything I had asked her to do I ended up doing myself. Two weeks before my wedding I was unable to get ahold of her, even though at our initial meeting she told me I could contact her anytime. I am not the type of bride that would call all the time. In fact I rarely called at all. But when I did need her she was «too busy» she told us if we wanted to talk to her that we would have to schedule a call through her website. Mind you this was 2 weeks before my big day! I was freaking out and still have yet to receive any communication from her (after I paid for her services) and it is less than a week away from my wedding. I had no choice but to fire her through email because I couldn’t get in contact with her. She still hasn’t responded after several attempts to see if she even received my email. We went ahead and hired someone else on very short notice and thank God because if not my wedding would have been ruined because of Grace. I would not recommend her to ANYONE I know. In fact I think these other reviews might be fake.

Met Grace, the owner of Graceful Gatherings a year ago this month where she had a booth at a community breakfast. We were excited when we found out we won a community breakfast raffle prize and it was for Graceful Gatherings!
We’ve planned our son’s high school graduation party, we planned our son’s junior college party, but when it came to his university college graduation we hired Grace. We can honestly say it was the best thing we did! We wanted to enjoy our guests and celebrate our son’s accomplishments! It was not to be able to relax and know everything was taken care of. We actually had to tell our parents not to do a thing as they’ve always helped us in the past. That it was all being taken care of by Grace and her team. She did not just take care of the celebration day, but she took care of our invitation printing, mailing of invitations, rental items for the «adult» construction theme we chose, obtaining catering prices and food tasting, picking up the special ordered thank you gifts and our pre-​ordered dessert.
Grace was full of ideas and attentive to all the details in setting up the construction items on display, tables and tables settings, etc. We were able to rent chafing dishes, a few construction items to go along with our items and mason jars we used for each of our guests. The final best part for a customer we believe is — Grace and her team handled all the clean up. We walked into our kitchen to see food leftovers all packaged up and placed in our refrigerator. This graduation celebration was the least stressed on us and we can’t thank her and her team enough.

Grace did our wedding at the North Columbia Schoolhouse this June and it was BEYOND WORDS AMAZING!!! Her and her team took our scatterbrained ideas and made our event a perfect celebration. We even heard comments from guests saying it was the party of the year. She was organized, respectful, and one of the best coordinators I have ever seen. I would highly recommend her to ANYONE! And if you weren’t planning on using a coordinator like us originally, Grace will save your event!!!
