About this vendor
Event planning is my passion and it enables me to use my organizational skills and attention to detail to eliminate stress for folks who should be enjoying a memorable and special occasion. I pride myself in tackling each event with an even-keel attitude and positivity to keep my clients calm and confident and enjoying the anticipation and realization of their big day. I also love talking to people and having fun - so you might find me dancing along to the music on the side!
My personal mantra is to measure myself by a standard of grace each day and all events planned by me will be held to the same standard - classic elegance and detail-orientation with a level head and warm disposition.
We offer Day Of Coordination, Partial, and Full Service Packages as well as many a la carte services!

Jackie was our wedding planner for our October 2024 wedding. My (now) husband and I just moved to Northern California, got engaged and had no idea where to start.
Thank God for Jackie. There are a million websites that tell you what you need to do and in what order; but they do not help you weed through bad contracts, shifty policies or even price gauging. Without Jackie, we would have overpaid, worked with an inconsistent videographer and not pushed back on pricing that didn’t make sense.
After she helped us secure all our vendors, she kept us on track with planning, timeline and needs. She kept my husband on task for tux fittings, vow writing and vendor payments. She kept me calm when my dress alterations took longer than expected. Jackie was a text or email away, always.
Finally, the day of would not have been stress free without her. It started with a hair and makeup artist having an emergency that precluded her from doing my wedding party. Jackie heard first, calmly explained what was happening, how we would maintain our schedule and when we would be refunded. Even down a person, we ran on schedule.
Jackie set up our tables, seating chart and reception perfectly. She fully executed everything we wanted, and filled in the blanks when we had no clue what to do. Without Jackie, I would have been so stressed.
I could not recommend Jackie more highly. She is a kind, organized and incredibly efficient planner. I am glad I had her on our day and the 14 month engagement.
Jackie helped coordinate our wedding, and we couldn't have been happier! We decided to go with a coordinator with just a few months before the wedding, and Jackie made it all work in our tight timeline. She did not lower her total effort just because of the faster pace we were moving, and there was not a single moment where we thought she could have done more. Plenty of smaller messages and comments opened our eyes to details we may have overlooked, and some of the things she helped with were above what we were expecting.
Jackie was 100% there during our big day and days prior. Our wedding venue took place at a separate location than the reception, and Jackie worked with us to coordinate the moving parts that the multi-location event caused. The communication once we started working together was excellent, and all prior dates and availability was made clear. We recommend A Standard of Grace to any couples looking to get married!
Jackie went above and beyond. I can not recommend her enough to any couple who is planning their wedding, elopement, party or any type of celebration. Her communication is top notch and she is very detailed. I am a pretty organized person but then I saw all the work and documents that Jackie would send us and they were unreal. She is such a hard worker and listened to all of our wants and needs. She executed our vision and we truly couldn't have pulled off such a fun and lovely wedding day without her. Planning and replanning during a pandemic was not easy but Jackie made sure we were happy, helped us navigate the unknown together and in the end throw an amazing party! Chris, myself and our families can not thank you enough! We love Jackie.
I have been a wedding photographer for 14+ years and Jackie and her husband were a complete pleasure to work with. They made my job easier as well as keeping the day going smoothly for the bride and groom. I would definitely recommend having her coordinate her day. She brings complete professionalism, a sense of calm, and great communication for everyone involved.
As a fellow vendor, Jackie is wonderful to work with. She is communicative, professional, and personable. It is clear that she provides the very best service to her clients and is incredibly warm toward her vendors as well. Each time I've worked with her has been an absolute pleasure.
Loved working with Jackie! She helped make our special day run smoothly. Everything was beautiful! Thank you Jackie!
Jackie is an AMAZING planner and a wonderful person to work with. She hired me as a vendor for one of her events and I absolutely LOVED working with her. She is very well organized, detail oriented and a great communicator. Her work ethic and attitude are highly commendable and her calm and kind personality makes working with her fun and stress free.
I highly recommend Jackie for your event planning needs.
Jackie is AMAZING! I had the pleasure of working with her on a clients’ wedding, and she made the entire planning experience so stress-free and easy. She was extremely thorough and organized in all of her communications with vendors, and she anticipated any questions that may have come up and answered them all before anyone ever needed to ask. At the event, Jackie was so incredibly kind and professional, and I never saw her without a genuine smile on her face. She anticipated the needs of the clients and vendors and never hesitated to step in and assist wherever help was needed. I cannot recommend Jackie enough; she’s the best at what she does!
Jackie with A Standard of Grace is a delight to work with! She makes my job as a venue manager so easy, because I know my clients will be well taken care of. I would absolutely recommend her services to anyone in need of a planner!
Jackie is such a kind and generous soul, who truly makes your priorities into her priorities for your event. She has a passion for weddings and events that drives her to learn everything she can about ideal vendors for your team, how to deal with situations that may arise, current and upcoming trends, and how to execute your wedding whether it be full planning or an intimate event. Best of all, Jackie does this with a level of professionalism and grace that is a true testament to her business name! If you're looking for someone knowledgeable, super friendly, and professional to help you plan your dream wedding, this is who you need to hire!
Jackie is amazing! I've DJ'd weddings for over 5 years and haven't met a coordinator who is so easy-going. She's personable, relatable, and ultimately makes the wedding more fun to be a part of. The flow of the day was flawless and we were able to hit all of our marks on the itinerary. When it's my time to get married, I know who I'm reaching out to first!
Originally for our wedding, we did not plan to have a coordinator. Roughly two months before our wedding we decided it was necessary and hired Jackie. At this point, the pre-planning was mostly done but Jackie stepped in and opened our eyes to all the things we had not previously thought about. She took the reins and had the best communication before, after, and most importantly during the event. If there was a problem during the event, she ensured we did not know about it and took care of it right away. We would highly recommend Jackie at A Standard of Grace Events as we would hire her again in a heartbeat! If we could give 10 stars...we would!
Jackie’s experience and expertise is exactly the icing on the cake for a wedding! I had all of the main aspects of my wedding planned, but with the day fast approaching, I was running into a nightmare on the logistics. My wedding venue provided me with an on-site planner, but she clearly wasn’t invested in my wedding. Jackie offered her expertise down to the smallest detail and more importantly served as a sounding board when I was throwing out bizarre ideas.
I couldn’t recommend working with Jackie and her team enough!!!!
Jackie was phenomenal! She helped us find the perfect vendors and location for our wedding. She got the quotes for us and reviewed the contracts and gave us her honest opinion on the amounts quoted to us. Which was very important, since we were on a budget. She also ensured that the vendors and venue was LGBTQ friendly. She made sure that our big day went smoothly and that we didn’t have any worries, except remembering to bring our wedding vows to the alter! We will be utilizing her skills and expertise for any of our future events!
Jackie was a dream wedding planner! She is an excellent problem solver, extremely organized, wildly creative and has amazing attention to detail. She made the entire wedding planning process easy and we always felt assured she was on top of everything! Any obstacle that came her way, she worked through with patience and grace. More than anything though she is thoughtful, caring and understanding and worked tirelessly to plan the wedding of our dreams. You can really tell Jackie plans a client’s wedding with the same passion as if she was planning her own wedding. I would highly recommend A Standard Of Grace Events to anyone!
Jackie of A Standard of Grace is wonderful and a delight to work with! She has a great eye for style as well as bringing a vision to life in an organized and efficient manner. She is responsive, organized and always calm in the face of wedding day stress. I highly recommend her!
It is so extremely helpful to have a wedding coordinator that knows every detail, every need, and every want, before the couple even thinks of it, while planning a wedding! Jackie Harbour is so knowledgeable and has so much experience, that we were able to turn to her with any question and every idea.
During our meetings leading up to the wedding, we had lists of questions/concerns, and Jackie was able to talk us through everything. She literally had a plan for every aspect of the day, but still gave us free rein to make every creative decision! It was so comforting to have a wedding coordinator with so much knowledge and skill. Our final meeting with Jackie, the weekend before our wedding, helped melt away so much stress. We knew that Jackie would make sure the day was exactly what we had pictured.
The day of our wedding would NOT have run as smoothly without Jackie! I swear she had clones of herself! This woman was in all places at once! She made sure everything was set up exactly the way we had expressed to her! She checked that our items for the traditions were set up and ready to use during the ceremony (chuppah with silk, wine glass, wine, rope for knot tying). She helped guide guests to their seats (large outdoor venue). She handled the late shuttle bus, dropping off the rest of our guests. Our parents went to her with random questions throughout the day. She organized our extremely large wedding party (20+ people). And she kept the timing of our entire day on track!
She made sure that none of the wedding day stressors made it to the brides. As far as we know, the day was perfection! And it was.
