We’re incredibly grateful for Cinthy. She is such a joy to work with!
When we began planning, we weren’t sure if a wedding planner was right for us. Looking back, hiring Cinthy wa...
s one of the best choices we made. She’s organized, kind, and such a calming presence.
From the very beginning, she made the whole process feel manageable and fun. She gave us guidance when we needed it but also made sure the wedding still felt completely like us. Every detail was handled with so much care, and we always felt supported.
During our intro and planning calls with vendors, it became clear how respected Cinthy is in the wedding community. Everyone had amazing things to say about working with her, and their confidence in her always put us at ease. When the big day came, everything flowed seamlessly, a true reflection of how skillfully she coordinated all the moving parts behind the scenes.
If you’re on the fence about hiring a planner, our advice is simple: do it. And if you’re lucky enough to work with Cinthy, you’ll be so glad you did. We can’t thank her enough for everything she did to make our day so special.
tldr: Sarah is the best. Attentive, detail oriented, and the best choice we could have made for our big day.
Sarah was the coordinator for our wedding. I'm a pretty hands-on, deta...
il oriented person, but I feel I would have spiraled without Sarah. She's grounded and super helpful. I really appreciated our video calls and in-person venue walkthroughs. She took detailed notes about all our preferences and made sure the day-of was perfect. With her at the helm, I got to be a jellyfish and just float along and enjoy my wedding!
I know people say you can't have a perfect wedding day, but I really felt like I did. I know that would not have been possible without Sarah and the A Touch of Grace team. We had 3 different venues, and setup/teardown needed at each. Sarah made sure to pickup everything we prepared a couple days ahead of the wedding, and dropped off everything after so we didn't have to worry. Logistically it was quite difficult, but I don't think I thought about any of that the day of. Sarah and her team also styled the detail items I prepared so beautifully too.
It was just a magical day. Thank you! I'd recommend Sarah without hesitation.
5/5 stars. I’d give 10 stars if I could. Sarah from A Touch Of Grace saved our wedding and made it into “one of the best weddings I’ve ever been to” said multiple guests. And on a ...
budget!!!
My husband and I are proactive but busy. I found the venue because that was the most time sensitive thing, but then literally everything else we just procrastinated. Enter Sarah, who recognized and affirmed our goals, budget, design thoughts, and most importantly, kept us on track when she realized she was going to be doing the heavy lifting cause we had no idea what we were doing.
I love her and would recommend her (and have) to anyone looking to plan a wedding in the Bay Area. We said florals and photographers weren’t the highest priority and low budget but somehow she came through w/ amazing flors for 2k and a 10hr photographer for 3k. We had a DJ, 2 sites (city hall and a country club), and constant communication, and threw a hell of a wedding for 50k in the Bay Area!!!
Sarah can work with you however you want. If you want to be super involved she’ll meet with you and work with you to find ideas and things to execute. If you want her to drive the planning, she’ll have entire timelines and vendors made and lined up and you barely have to lift a finger. If I had to plan a wedding again I would choose her in a heartbeat.
Additionally, we are both Chinese and wanted some Asian aspects (including a tea ceremony) in our wedding as well. Sarah handled that with no issue at all, and honestly could not be happier with her service. She does not charge enough for how much she’s done for us.
We first met the incredible Cinthy in 2022 when she orchestrated our eldest daughter's wedding with warmth and precision. So when our youngest got engaged, there was no hesitation-...
-we knew Cinthy had to be part of the journey again.
From our earliest conversations to the final send-off on the big day, Cinthy was nothing short of exceptional. Planning a wedding can be daunting, but she brought a calm confidence, deep expertise, and infectious enthusiasm that made the entire process feel effortless and joyful. She was always several steps ahead, gracefully navigating last-minute changes and ensuring every detail aligned perfectly with our vision.
The day unfolded like a dream--flawless, joyful, and beautifully paced. Guests are still talking about how seamless and magical everything felt. Even our vendors were quick to praise her professionalism and positive spirit.
But what truly sets Cinthy apart is the heart she pours into her work. She and her team at A Touch of Grace were genuinely invested in creating a celebration that felt meaningful and unforgettable. If you're looking for someone who is not only professional and creative but also deeply committed and unshakable under pressure, Cinthy is your person.
We're endlessly grateful to A Touch of Grace for turning our dreams into reality. Quite simply, our wedding wouldn't have been the same without them.
Cinthy is the absolute GOAT of wedding planners.
From agreeing to work with the most type A bride you'll ever meet to herding over 120 guests and vendors day of, she is probably on...
e of the only people who could talk me down from the many ledges I was on throughout my wedding planning process.
Probably one of the, if not the most affordable providers as well, the white glove service she and her team provide went above and beyond my expectations. Especially when it came to harassing people for contracts, signatures and schedules, she was on top of it and always answered promptly whenever I had any questions. When looking for vendors, she provided multiple iterations of lists describing each vendor's style, pricing and flexibility and whenever I gave feedback she was so prompt in providing different options to take those into consideration. Even when I picked vendors not on any of the lists she was able to work with all of them without a hitch (at least from my view;)) On our wedding day, everything ran so smoothly thanks to her, despite unexpected events veering our schedule off course multiple times.
From someone who was doubtful that she needed a wedding planner at the start, trust me when I say Cinthy will take off so many burdens from your shoulders so you can enjoy your wedding day and be fully present. Thank you so much, ATOG team for helping execute our perfect day so flawlessly!
When I was looking for a wedding planner, we had a quick turnaround and needed someone who was organized, easy to work with, attentive, and had a great eye for detail. Enter Sarah ...
Carder from A Touch of Grace.
From our very first call, I knew she was going to be amazing. She made the entire planning process feel seamless and took so much stress off my plate—I truly felt like I was in the best hands. Not only did she handle everything I asked for, she went above and beyond, taking care of details on the day-of that I hadn’t even thought about.
Sarah was incredibly professional, calm, and kind, and somehow kept us smiling and stress-free the whole way through. We’re so grateful for her and can’t imagine our day without her. If I were throwing another event, I’d hire her again in a heartbeat. She was amazing!
Sarah was our wedding coordinator and we hired her for the month of planning package. She was incredibly helpful in the planning process, helping with decor suggestions and vendor ...
suggestions months before the wedding. She was always great with communication in emails or in scheduled meetings. She did a great job leading up to the wedding communicating with vendors which took a lot of stress off from us. She did a great job at the rehearsal and setting up the decor for our ceremony and reception. On the day of the wedding she and her team went above and beyond helping with set up and tear down, making sure everything ran on schedule and at the end of the night bringing everything home which she dropped off to us the following day. A Touch of Grace was a great company to work with and made our wedding a lot less stressful. We highly recommend them and their services!!
There aren't enough words to describe how truly incredible Cinthy is. Throughout our wedding planning process Cinthy was always there to lend advice, come up with ideas/solutions, ...
keep us organized/on track, provide vendor recommendations, was in constant communication with myself and our vendors etc. She is organized, talented, sharp, witty, hands on and just amazing all around. She helped make this process as easy and painless on me as possible and she rolled with my desire to keep things less formal/traditional aka my "i don't really care about any of this attitude" ;). Cinthy is dependable/reliable and I could not have gotten through my wedding planning or my wedding day without her. I am so grateful to have found her and my wedding day/the planning process would not have been half as seamless and special if he had not been in the picture. Thank you Cinthy for everything!
We reached out to A Touch of Grace for our June wedding in San Francisco. We were lucky enough to meet and chat with Sarah. From the beginning, Sarah had more energy, excitement, a...
nd experience from any of the other coordinators that we had talked to. During our initial meeting she asked insightful questions that we had not thought of and it was very easy to get a feel for what working with her would be like. We ended up working with Sarah as both a month of and day of coordinator and we could not have been more lucky/grateful. She was hands down our favorite vendor during our wedding. We had a wedding across 2 locations in San Francisco, so there was more logistical legwork involved than a normal wedding, but Sarah was on top of all of it the month leading up to the wedding. She was very easy to collaborate with and we shared everything in Google Drive; she was also available to take calls when we needed and proactively reached out to us if something came up. She helped coordinate communication with vendors, distributors, and the onsite contacts for each vendor. On the day she was amazing! She and her assistants helped paper over any issues that arose, while seamlessly blending into the background. Sarah and A Touch of Grace were fantastic to work with and I can't recommend them enough.
We decided to get married with about 6 months of lead time (!). Cinthy jumped right in with vendor suggestions, timelines, and logistical help. We really appreciated her responsive...
ness, competence, and humor. She was also amazing the day of the wedding with all the set up, tear down, and keeping everything moving smoothly. Very glad we chose to work with her!
My mom and I found A Touch of Grace through a google search and it was one of a few companies we had a call with when deciding to plan my destination wedding in Mill Valley, CA. W...
e absolutely adored Sarah's energy and commitment to making this wedding a reality and helping us do it from so far away (we are in South Florida). Over 9 or so months Sarah held our hands through the process and had weekly zooms with us. She helped to set up everything from venue selection, hotel, restaurants, activities, vendors - and was super helpful in handling a few of the issues we ran into with those vendors. She allowed us to ship items to her home, including everything for our hotel welcome bags for our guests and put them together for us and got them to the hotel before we arrived! Once in Mill Valley she was AMAZING, present, always smiling and had incredible energy - she didn't leave our sides! The first day she took us to each spot we had booked through her so we could see them in person for the first time, was by our sides every single day for each event. On the fly she was in action booking last minute massages and Muir Woods tickets for us! She was at each restaurant ahead of time to set up our beautiful tables and stayed throughout to make sure we were well taken care of and had anything we needed. She and her amazing husband set up the most incredible beach day for us and despite having some questionable weather which was out of everyone's control, they made the day so special for us! On the day of the wedding, again, Sarah was present for its entirety and made the whole day go off without a hitch (even handling a nightmare situation with the cake so well the groom and I had no idea until after the fact there was an issue!). She was constantly checking on me as the bride and made me feel so special and truly became one of the family by the end of the long weekend! She made these Floridians feel right at home in California. After the weekend came to and end she made sure anything we left was shipped back to us quickly and even gifted us shipping our Ketubah to us (which she also took care of mounting before we arrived for the ceremony.) I literally could go on and on but to say my husband, family and I were more then pleased with Sarah would be a serious understatement. She made what could have been a super stressful destination wedding go smoothly and fun! Thank you Sarah!
Cinthy and her team are truly outstanding. Their dedication, attention to detail, and deeply rooted passion for wedding planning is next to none. As an event planner myself, I have...
very high expectations. Cinthy exceeded not only my expectations, but showed me a level of professional grace that I rarely see in the events world. She was a true partner in the planning process and made our dreams come true. The wedding planning process is often deemed stressful and painful. For me, it was seamless; and I attribute that calm to Cinthy working behind the scenes for us. If she was tasked to do something, it would be done. If we needed advice, she was honest with us. Her industry expertise and connections within the wedding world made so many of our dreams come true. I am so grateful for her guidance, knowledge, and care. If you are looking for a wedding expert with a team of true professionals, you should hire A Touch of Grace.
Cinthy was a tremendous help - she helped us pull off two rather complicated, back-to-back, outdoor ceremonies with shuttles between the hotel and the venue. She made it look so ef...
fortless to do all the transition planning, rehearsal and had very thoughtful suggestions for small details. Cinthy also pulled in her assistant and was quick to put out fires on the wedding day itself.
Truly, I don't know what we would have done without Cinthy. She filled every gap that we missed during our planning process, going above and beyond what we initially asked of her and did so with gusto. It's hard to overstate how valuable Cinthy was as a reviewer of contracts, as an experienced collaborator who could push back on our ideas and offer alternatives, and an all-around executor who just rolls her up sleeves to get things done - get the ice, uncork the wine, tip the other vendors.
It was an absolute pleasure working with Cinthy and though we don't plan to get married again, if we had to, we would hire Cinthy in a heartbeat.
I am so happy I booked A Touch of Grace for my wedding! After the first call with Cinthy, I knew she was the person I wanted to work with to bring my wedding vision to life and mak...
e me feel at ease. I booked the Wrap-Up Package and it was so much more than that. Cinthy was helpful from the day I booked AToG, she sent me resources immediately to keep me on track with my planning process. I had a unique venue that was very DIY and Cinthy put me at ease by staying positive, making helpful suggestions, and creating my floorplan. She was also very open to my suggestions and never made me feel silly about anything I suggested. The day of my wedding went perfectly, no issue was ever brought to my attention and every single plan I had was rolled out which I don’t think would have been possible without Cinthy. If you are thinking about booking Cinthy/A Toch of Grace for your wedding, DO IT! You will immediately feel less stressed and more excited about your day!!
It was such a privilege to work with Sarah from a touch of grace for our wedding. Truly, our wedding was the best day of our lives and we owe a big thank you to sarah for helping o...
ur vision come to life. At the start of our wedding planning process we actually had a different wedding planner with a different company that wasn’t working out.
When we were looking for another planner it was important for us to having someone who had great communication, organization, punctuality, and was accommodating as we were planning the wedding from out of state. When we met with Sarah over the phone it was evident that that’s exactly what she was! We saw all those qualities come to life throughout the planning process that exceed our expectations. We got married in Livermore at Wente vineyards where she also had a lot of experience which was fantastic.
She made us feel so confident going into our wedding day that things were taken care of. Truly a dream team!! Thank you Sarah and a touch of grace!!
Sarah was an absolute wonder to work with! She went above and beyond in so many ways, while respecting our vision and expectations for our big day. She was prompt, responsive, and ...
hard working. She was so easy to talk to that it often felt like we were talking to a good friend for duration of the process. She has a great network of resources for wedding-day services and put out every little fire that came up to make sure we had as little stress as possible.
During the wedding, she was conscientious of our needs, and timed every event to make our day as seamless as possible. She also worked through our admittedly complex dinner and cocktail hour menus with our caterer and it came out absolutely wonderful!
If you're looking for a hardworking and highly competent planner/day-of coordinator, look no further -- Sarah at A Touch of Grace is your one-stop shop.
My husband and I recently had the privilege of working with Sarah as our wedding coordinator, and we cannot express enough how grateful we are for her incredible dedication and exp...
ertise. From the moment we met her, Sarah exuded a warm and calming presence that immediately put us at ease during the often stressful wedding planning process.
Sarah's attention to detail is second to none. She listened carefully to our vision for the day and transformed it into a reality that surpassed our wildest dreams. Her organizational skills are impeccable, and she kept us on track with timelines and tasks, ensuring that nothing was overlooked.
One of the standout qualities of Sarah is her impeccable communication. She was always available to answer our questions, address concerns, and offer creative solutions to any challenges that arose. Her professionalism and responsiveness truly made us feel like a priority throughout the entire planning process.
On the day of our wedding, Sarah's coordination skills were nothing short of miraculous. Every aspect of the day flowed seamlessly, thanks to her careful orchestration. From coordinating with vendors to managing the timeline and keeping our guests informed, Sarah's expertise was on full display.
What sets Sarah apart is her genuine passion for what she does. It's evident that she loves creating beautiful and memorable weddings, and she goes above and beyond to make sure every detail is perfect. She also has a knack for handling unexpected situations with grace and composure, which is invaluable on such an important day.
Our wedding day was an absolute dream come true, and we owe so much of that to Sarah. We can't thank her enough for her dedication, hard work, and incredible talent. If you're in search of a wedding coordinator who will turn your vision into a flawless reality and provide unwavering support throughout the process, look no further than Sarah. We wholeheartedly recommend her to any couple seeking a stress-free and unforgettable wedding experience. Thank you, Sarah, for making our special day truly magical!
The BEST DECISION we have made was hiring Cinthy Walsh. From day one she was super hands on with everything. She is very thorough and super helpful!!! Our wedding day went on perfe...
ctly and we had such a great time!!! Everything she did was above and beyond our expectations! And we cannot express enough our appreciation for all the effort she did for us. If you're looking for a coordinator and/or planner, stop looking because you're at the right place! Cinthy is the person for you!
The best decision we made in planning our wedding was hiring Sarah Carder and A Touch of Grace. Sarah ensured the process went smoothly from contacting vendors to coordinating the ...
day itself. She is organized, professional, and a pleasure to work with. She is calm under pressure and always had a solution to work around problems that arose. She had terrific suggestions for vendors who would help us realize our vision at a reasonable price. And she went above and beyond at every step to ensure we were comfortable with the plan. We can't recommend Sarah enough - she is a delight to work with!
We cannot recommend Cinthy and her team enough!
Cinthy was with us planning from start to finish. Everything was handled promptly and with the most attention! Cinthy kept us and ...
our vendors on track through the whole process. She was available at all times for all of the last minute changes and really was our rock during the wedding planning process. When we first spoke with Cinthy, she told us she wanted us to feel like guests at our own wedding. That's exactly how we felt!! She took care of every detail and obstacle on the day of and truly let us enjoy our own wedding. Cinthy and her team were the absolute best!
I will jump on the bandwagon here for Sarah Carder. Although she worked most directly with my daughter, Sarah, I always had an ear or eye to what was going on, and I can assure yo...
u, from the very outset we said to ourselves, "this is money very well spent!" She immediately demonstrated her competence, instilled us with confidence, and took the load off of our shoulders. Those last few weeks, as the wedding date gets close, were filled with anxious thoughts about a million little things, both relevant and irrelevant. Sarah actually anticipated many issues that we hadn't even thought of and eased our mind on those that we had thought of. Her contribution was invaluable, her manner warm and inviting, and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone needing a wedding coordinator. I just can't say enough good things about her!
Ruth (MOTB)
Hiring Sarah Carder from a Touch of Grace Events was the single best investment we made for our April 2023 wedding.
I can’t say enough good things about her; she’s professional, ...
personable, extremely efficient, gave great advice and her taste level was top of the line. Her vendor management skills are exemplary and she even helped us navigate some tricky communications with our venue. She was responsive, understanding, compassionate, fun-loving, and easy to work with; I felt like I had my big sister helping my plan my wedding! I am a type-A control freak, so it’s hard for me to give up the reigns but I trusted Sarah completely and with good reason; our wedding went off without a hitch thanks to her organization and thoughtfulness. She went above and beyond for my family and I and we can’t thank her enough for making our special day possible. If you’re VERY lucky, you’ll get the chance to work with Sarah and the team at a Touch of Grace.

nized, funny, very responsive, intellectual and a team player! Everything was seamless from contracting, to planning/detailing. I'd love to partner with Cinthy again and I will recommend her to all of my brides. Cinthy, thank you for everything and I look forward working with you again in the future! Please stop by whenever you are in the area!

I cannot image our wedding without Cinthy and her crew...
My husband and I thought "how hard can planning a wedding be?" and it turns out...much harder than we ever imagined. Cint...
hy jumped in, got acquainted with all of our vendors that we had already booked, and brought every single detail together so perfectly. She knows this industry like the back of her hand and was so impressive with keeping us moving on our timeline, while handling every situation with total professionalism.
Thank you Cinthy and everyone who had a hand in making our day so special and memorable. I will be recommending "A Touch of Grace" to anyone and everyone!
Cinthy and the Team at ATOG are an absolute pleasure to work with. They are incredibly kind, organized, prompt in communication, extremely experienced and on top of every little de...
tail. We relied on them to make our wedding a dream and we are so grateful to their team. We highly recommend!!!
Thank God Cinthy was our wedding planner.
She’s the best in every way - she goes above and beyond for her clients and she knows what she’s doing!!!
Cinthy was so fun and pleasant...
to work with - she’s personable, friendly, organized, and incredibly effective.
Our wedding turned out to be the most magical and best day of our lives and we’re so grateful that we had Cinthy to help make it all come together - it was a dream come true.
I 10/10 recommend working with Cinthy if you’re looking for a wedding planner - hiring Cinthy to be your wedding planner is truly a no brainer. Don’t wait!!!
I had the pleasure of working with Cinthy Walsh on a large wedding a couple weeks ago. (I was the florist.) She was fantastic! She took care of everything flawlessly with calm an...
d grace. Her behind the scenes work and attention to detail made it look like everything just magically fell in to place.
We absolutely LOVED working with Cinthy. Our wedding day went so smoothly and would not have been possible without her. She is highly organized and really cared about making our d...
ay perfect. Something else we appreciated was her attention to detail with all of our vendors. She made sure we got what we paid for from all of our vendors and really held them accountable - lifesaver!
Her organization, calm demeanor, and dedication were unmatched. Highly recommend her and her team.
The one thing I would have changed about the wedding was her! I planned all of it! She is good at bossing people around. Very rude!!! She comes off nice and last week she will say ...
“do you really need that?” she wants you to hire everyone to do work for her she started throwing a fit when asked to set up a shade tent. My whole wedding party commented on how “not very nice” she was. She was extremely undressed one person said her shirt was see though. Not good with kids. I took over when I hear the way she spoke to them. She also got my first post taken down and I didn’t notice because I had to contest it within 7 days and I was in honeymoon. Who knows how many others she has taken down.
In summary, Cinthy was our saving grace during the wedding planning process and I would recommend her over and over again.
Our wedding was originally planned for March 27, 2020. J...
ust 12 days out from our wedding is when everything shut down for COVID. At the time, we rescheduled the wedding for later that summer in 2020 and Cinthy was amazing at contacting all of our vendors and getting everyone aligned with the new date. As we neared our new date, we realized there was no way we were going to be able to have the wedding as we wanted it due to COVID. Long story short, Cinthy ended up helping us move our date and reschedule everyone not once or twice but three times! She helped us so much and took off so much stress from us as we all navigated the unknown.
She was so on top of everything and was able to pivot at times at the last minute and worked so hard to give us everything we wanted for our special day- and also helped us stay on budget!
The day of the wedding went off without a hitch and it was all thanks to Cinthy's hard work during the past couple of years. We had a lot of hiccups along the way (up to us finding out new venue restrictions two months out from out wedding) and she was on top of it and always found solutions.
I can't imagine ever planning a wedding without a coordinator and am so happy Cinthy was ours.
I highly highly recommend Cinthy and her team! We booked A Touch of Grace for month-of coordination, but for the whole 2 year wedding planning process (due to a COVID postponement....
..) she helped us with vendor recommendations and advice via email. Her check-in emails full of questions were the only thing keeping us moving along in our wedding planning for a while there!
A couple months before the wedding she helped us confirm everything with our many vendors, and she made a list of items we were bringing, photo list, created our timeline, made layouts for everything (dining area, ceremony, photobooth, DJ cocktail and bar area) that we could share with the vendors. She brought some lovely items like welcome signs, a beautiful glass card box, and a lovely frame where we pinned all of our escort cards with the seating arrangements. In the week before the wedding we didn't feel like we had to worry about anything because Cinthy was so organized. She also did a walk-through of the venue with us a month before which was really helpful in visualizing where everything would go and what we needed.
The day of the wedding she and her assistant Selenie seriously put some work in. Cinthy picked up lunch for the ladies while we were getting ready and ensured that everything was set up and lined us up to go down the aisle. I'll never forget Selenie rubbing sunblock on my arms just before I walked down the aisle as it was a very sunny day! And when I realized I forgot my veil just before walking down the aisle she sprinted back to grab it for me!
They made sure everything was cleaned up at the end of the night, brought our cards and gifts back to our hotel room, packed our car with all our stuff, and did the walk-through with the venue to ensure everything was good to go. They truly went above and beyond in helping with whatever we were struggling with. I think the coordinator is one of those vendors that makes the biggest difference in stress levels leading up to and on the day of the wedding, and with such a huge production of a wedding this investment was definitely worth it and I definitely recommend them.
Malia was incredibly helpful throughout our entire wedding planning process. She kept us on track with a detailed month by month timeline, she provided excellent vendor recommendat...
ions, and always got back to us quickly if we had questions. She was an invaluable resource the week of the wedding managing multiple vendors, ensuring everything was set up properly, handling any issues that arose, and keeping us on a tight schedule. I highly recommend Malia and her team! We were extremely satisfied with the service they provided to us.
Cinthy and her team were incredibly helpful for planning our wedding. We hired A Touch of Grace for the final wrap up planning and coordination (about 8 weeks). However, she provid...
ed recommendations throughout the whole process when we wanted suggestions for other vendors. We enjoyed working with her through the whole process. She attended our venue walk-through, ceremony rehearsal, and the entire wedding day (plus an assistant). We are so grateful we hired her to take care of all the final details and make sure that the day went smoothly!
Cinthy and her team did an absolutely amazing job with coordinating our wedding! We first reached out to her about 6 months before our wedding and she did a great job engaging with...
us to make sure we had exactly what we needed from the very beginning. She is established with many local vendors and she made communication with them seamless. On the day of the wedding everything ran smoothly with no hiccups or unexpected surprises.
It was truly a blessing to have Cinthy coordinate our wedding as she made sure everything was perfect and made our lives easier. I would highly recommend her and A Touch of Grace for any wedding planning services.
Words cannot express my gratitude for Cinthy and her team! My wedding was something out of a magazine! It was the PERFECT wedding and it's all because of them.
When I first starte...
d planning my wedding I was skeptical about even hiring a planner/coordinator at all thinking I could handle it all myself with just help from my family and friends. It didn't take long until I was completely overwhelmed, in over my head, stressed and feeling like I was going about everything all wrong. After looking into some options for planners I was referred to Cinthy by a friend who couldn't stop raving about how amazing she was. I did saw Cinthy at my friend's wedding and I couldn't stop telling my fiance how smooth and fun everything went that day... I couldn't believe why I didn't even asked my friend about Cinthy when I started planning my own wedding!
I came to her with a simple idea and she worked her magic and brought it to life. If you think you don't need a wedding planner, think again and if you think you can go with just any one THINK AGAIN!
Cinthy is a top-notch planner and I am incredibly lucky to have had her help. She respected my input and added her special designer eye to my ideas. The day of the wedding ran so smoothly. Everything, every person, every moment...
Hiring Cinthy for my wedding was the best decision I could have possibly made!!
She was so friendly and professional and turned the process of planning my wedding from stressful to fun and enjoyable! She brought attention to so many things I would have never thought of, if it wasn't for her my big day would have been a disaster! Instead, thanks to her, it was absolutely perfect!
There are not enough words to describe how grateful we are for Cinthy being part of our special day. She is quick and knows how to handle situations on the spot. She is very good about keeping to schedule and adapting accordingly.
Not only does she do an amazing job, but she does it with a warm heart and is very professional in a friendly way!
She was attentive, organized and resourceful.
Cinthy helped to alleviate any additional stress leading up to the wedding by providing helpful tips and resources that kept me and my husband on track for our big day. She took the reigns on our rehearsal day and made sure all of our attendants (and little ones!) knew exactly what they were doing, and made it fun and enjoyable throughout.
On our wedding day, I knew I had absolutely nothing to stress about because of Cinthy. Every little detail, every step of the way. I couldn't have asked for a better planner, and am so grateful that we picked Cinthy to help us throughout our wedding planning. I would recommend her and her team to absolutely everyone I know!
She helped me make a checklist of things to be done, helped find vendors and work with my budget, she always knew how to keep me calm!! On the day of the event she made sure things went smoothly and handled any unforeseen situation without hesitation (and trust me no matter what things never go exactly as planned) .
I couldn't be more grateful, she went above and beyond to make our special day perfect and I can't praise her enough! I know she had other clients but she always made my wedding feel like a top priority. Highly recommend her! You would be absolutely crazy not to hire her! Cinthy and your team, thank you again for your amazing work and for going above and beyond for us, everyone can tell how much you love what you do and how well you do it!

Let me start this off by saying I am a perfectionist who stresses over every single detail. Malia was a God send!!!!!!!
A Touch of Grace (ATOG) was recommended by our venue and cat...
erer. We were 6 weeks out from our wedding and selected their Wrap Up & Day of Coordination package. Malia was our coordinator and I cannot say enough about her. She was such a gift throughout this process. Like many Fall 2021 couples, our wedding had been postponed multiple times so we were working with established vendors and finding new ones. Our DJ and videog. from our initial planning were not available for our new date so Malia helped us find and lock them down. She vetted the vendors for our need, personal style preference and budget. She provided a curated list and we were able to meet with each and make our selection. We were nervous still looking for vendors so close to the day of, but Malia made it such a breeze. On top of helping us lock down final vendors, she took over communication with all of the vendors - collected their meal selections, set up an organized doc for when payments were due to each, and had checklists for everything we needed to provide each and by when. When issues came up such as our caterer not starting our rental order until 2 weeks before our wedding – our rental vendor was not sure if they’d be able to provide lighting. We moved everything outdoors for COVID and needed to have lighting or we could not have our wedding. Malia jumped in, took the reins and found back up lighting vendors just incase. It’s also worth mentioning that several weeks before, Malia offered to take over the rental from the caterers plate because she knew they were swamped and may not get to it. Malia had a back-up plan for everything. Anything that brought us stress, she was right there and ready to solve any problem. She also proactively solved problems before they became problems.
I am a perfectionist who has a very hard time letting go but Malia was so on top of everything that it was easy for me to let go and focus on other areas like dress, vows, fam, etc.
We met weekly leading up to the wedding and then multiple times a week in the last 2 weeks. For each meeting she had a set agenda of details we needed to tackle and decisions that needed to be made either then or before the next meeting. She kept us on schedule so that there was little to no stress throughout the entire process. When anything did come up big or small, like an added fee on an invoice that I was not expecting or a vendor who wasn’t wearing a mask, Malia jumped right in. The day of our wedding we realized we did not have a big enough funnel for our sand ceremony or the correct size of individual jars to pour into the big jar. Malia went to target, Facetimed me options, picked up the jars. There were no funnels so she created one out of a party hat and gold paper. Everything was seamless.
Malia kept the wedding on schedule, checked in with us, took care of our parents & our dog, made sure everyone got home safely and even recorded our last dance since both photography and videography were gone by then and SO much more. While some vendors over promise and under deliver, ATOG sets a gold standard and meets it. Malia is an incredible wedding coordinator and human being. ATOG was the best decision we made throughout this entire process and the best money spent. For the day of, Savannah was Malia’s assistant and was also absolutely wonderful. You cannot go wrong with A Touch of Grace.
Cinthy Walsh and her team at A Touch of Grace were such a pleasure to work with and make the process a breeze! Being one of the first COVID brides, they rode the emotional roller c...
oaster with me and my now Husband in choosing to postpone, helping to navigate contracts and managing other vendors.... you name it!
2.5 years later they were just as supportive and attentive for our new wedding date. Their attention to detail is top notch and think of so many things you never would have imagined you needed... but did! My wedding day was seamless in coordination and I never once thought about what what was being set up when. I would HIGHLY recommend them to any Bride!
Two months or so prior to our wedding I finally gave in to hiring a wedding planner. Best decision I ever made. From the moment Cinthy and I had our initial phone call, I knew from...
there on out things were under control. She sent final payment and deadline reminders, a folder was created with all the details about the day and not a detail was missed, she responded to emails impressively fast, the list goes on and on. Everything ran so smoothly the day of and it’s all because of A Touch of Grace. I couldn’t thank Cinthy and her team enough. I 100% recommended hiring a wedding planner, especially A Touch of Grace for all you future brides!
In the months leading up to our wedding, my husband and I became overwhelmed with the planning process and wanted a planner to help with the day of coordination and final details. ...
During our initial phone call with Cinthy, she asked all the right questions and was straight to the point. We hired her right away and opted for the wrap up service. She began helping us right away by creating timelines, communicating with vendors, going to venue meetings, etc. Communicating with Cinthy was so easy and she was extremely responsive. On our wedding day, Cinthy and her assistant was there every step of the way to keep us on schedule and our wedding day ran smoothly without any hiccups! She is amazing and we are extremely thankful to have found her!

ly, hire Cinthy you won't regret it.
Planning a wedding is like emotional whack -a- mole; once you think you've checked off your to do list, you find that you have a dozen more things you've forgotten to add.
If you...
've managed to cross off every detail on your list you're only halfway done.
when it comes to a wedding day, do you really want to be worried about if your table settings are set up properly?
Or if the groom and all the groomsmen have all their boutonnieres on as they walk down the aisle?
Who can you trust to help you make sure that all the things you planned to do at your reception actually happen?
Or that your vendors have adequate time to set up, and be ready when you need them to be?
If any of these thoughts crossed your mind, you probably need a wedding coordinator, and a wedding planner.

Day of the wedding she orchestrated everything seamlessly and all ran on schedule. Her assistant was outstanding too. Malia was cool, calm and collected and our family and bridal party all complemented how outstanding she was. She made us all feel at ease. We highly recommend ATOG!

ng a wedding, trust me when I say, booking your wedding coordinator should be your #1 priority! Malia is SO organized, made herself available through weekly calls, text messages, emails and was always very responsive.

Thank you A Touch of Grace!!!!
I cannot say enough good things about Cinthy from ATOG. My fiancé and I got engaged in February 2020 and we were unsure about needing a wedding planner since our venue had a coordi...
nator. We ended up talking to Cinthy and decided to hire her for our wedding in June 2021. That was the best wedding decision we could have made. The pandemic hit in March 2020 and I can honestly say I couldn't have planned a pandemic wedding without her. Cinthy was there to hear my rants, help ease the uncertainty of planning during a pandemic and guide me through every step. My wedding was a dream and everything was perfect and that's greatly thanks to Cinthy and her team. I cannot recommend her enough!

ress moments. She also helped us to deal with all of our vendors, and when we were not able to have our wedding as planned, she was the one collecting back our deposits and making all the calls. She is truly a woman with "A Touch of Grace". She also helped us plan the most perfect Baby Shower!
