Georgia Grace Weddings

ady had amazing relationships with vendors and always had an answer to every question I threw her way. She was always responsive and because of that I knew I would be able to have the wedding of my dreams because she was in my corner. Couldn’t have asked for a better coordinator!

ing. I wasn’t local to Athens so I wanted to find a well connected local planner. Mary Ellen was incredible in helping me find the best vendor team in the city. The weeks leading up to the wedding Mary Ellen was in constant contact with me and my mom and delivered on everything she promised. Her and the Georgia Grace team were incredible the day of the wedding. I never knew of any mishaps and they truly let me enjoy my day. This team was incredible and I would hire Mary Ellen a thousand times over.

eping the stress OFF of the bride. We would not hesitate to recommend her for your wedding planning needs. We LOVE Mary Ellen!

They are the best to work with and helped me bring my dream wedding to life. As someone who tends to procrastinate, I needed someone to keep me organized and make sure I stayed on track. Mary Ellen handled all that seamlessly, never making me feel stressed or behind. She managed all the little details I hadn’t even considered. On my wedding day, Mary Ellen and her team were absolutely amazing!! They were always ready to assist with anything I needed..sometimes they just knew what I needed before I even did, ha! Their hard work and dedication made the day run smoothly and effortlessly...even when my dad throws a curve ball and dosen't tell anyone (even Mary Ellen until day of maybe even right before) that our getaway "ride" was a helicopter, ha! I highly recommend Georgia Grace Weddings to any bride looking for a wedding planner. I can not thank Mary Ellen and her team enough for everything they did for me! Y'all are the best!

er would have thought of! Her organization and attention to detail are impeccable. Our wedding day truly would not have been the same without her!!

ut her and she was my wedding fairy godmother. She stood by my side the entire year and a half we planned our wedding and she wore ALL of the hats from therapist, to friend, to the wedding planning guru with the steady hand that helped guide our decision making process. Everyone was shocked I was so calm on wedding day, but I wasn’t. I knew Mary Ellen and her team had everything handled and she executed the day with professionalism and poise, even when faced with difficult situations and different family dynamics and personalities. I was permitted to just be the bride and it was the happiest day of my life, in large part thanks to her. We love her dearly and future brides would be absolutely remiss if they didn’t hire her to plan their dream day.

from all my guests. Brides, save yourself time and book GGW. The resources, recommendations and overall class that these ladies have is like no other team in town. You will not regret working with GGW!

ry Ellen has great contacts across the industry and helped introduce us to fantastic bands, vendors, etc. On wedding day, she was in control. Her team kept us on schedule. The wedding weekend for our daughter' and son-in-law was nearly flawless -- and we will always appreciate the team at Georgia Grace for their tireless work and attention to detail.

, we had the best day along with the best vendor team. She went above and beyond for every single detail. I cant thank or recommend Mary Ellen and her team more. We will forever be thankful for them!

ter in law’s wedding so when my daughter became engaged, Mary Ellen was the first phone call we made:) Her services are invaluable from the day you start planning until the wedding day when you’ll find her calm presence and coordinating makes everything perfect!

It was an absolute joy to work with her! She is so kind and selfless. She carefully walked through each part of the planning process and provided careful recommendation and listened to my concerns attentively. The day of, she took care of everything for my husband and I and we did not have to worry about a single thing! Her team is amazing helping piece together everything on the day and I truly could not have imagined my wedding season without this team!

el at ease leading up to and on my wedding day due to her diligence and attention to detail. I highly recommend her and her team for weddings!

endors on my list. I am very thorough and do a huge amount of research for this kind of thing. When I finally narrowed it down to a couple of planners, I called and talked with each planner. I instantly trusted Mary Ellen and knew that her attention to detail and experience would bring me great peace on the day of the wedding. My daughter, my son-in-law and I have very different personalities. Mary Ellen was able to read each of us and cater to all of our different wants, needs and nerves. She was able to offer her sage advice and wisdom without judgement or criticism. She balanced our vision and budget with suggestions that were reasonable and personal. She has such great taste and style that I was always seeking her opinion about all of the little details. This was my third wedding. She offered more services than the previous 2 planners I had used. I relied on her heavily since this, in essence, became a destination wedding, as only 1 guest actually lived in Athens. I highly recommend Mary Ellen at Georgia Grace Weddings.

ing on our wedding day and was so patient with me when I would change timelines around every time we had a call. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect and went off without a hitch because of Heather at Georgia Grace weddings.

er until our wedding exit. She was a calm presence during the wedding chaos (including while I had to make a rain plan decision). I truly miss talking to her now that the wedding is over. I was so lucky to have Heather day of as well who put together some of my decor that turned out beautiful. I could not recommend Georgia Grace enough!

ddings!

that I honestly feel that her fee was some of the most important money we spent on the whole wedding. From coaxing the venue to leave up the Christmas decor (we had a new years eve wedding) to rushing toothbrushes to the bridesmaids prior to the ceremony, to letting me (the mother of the bride) practice putting the veil on her OWN HEAD when my daughter was feeling overwhelmed, Mary Ellen provided such personal, friendly, loving service throughout the whole planning process and most especially on the day itself. When we had a bit of a snafu with flowers, Mary Ellen somehow managed to get the florist to make a bouquet (perhaps out of thin air, I don't know - a bouquet just magically appeared!) literally in the church foyer. She managed guests, she managed children, she managed vendors, and most of all she helped us manage our own feelings and helped us all bring our best selves to a long but glorious day. You will NOT be disappointed with Georgia Grace.

nd her team really know what they're doing. She was super organized, responsive, kind, and knowledgeable. It was necessary to have someone I could trust help handle the logistics on the day of the wedding so that I could just relax and enjoy the day. In terms of budgeting for vendors, you should prioritize hiring Georgia Grace over any other bells and whistles. They added the biggest value to the wedding at a really reasonable price. I can't imagine trying to coordinate the day of the wedding without Mary Ellen. She has a very kind and professional team. Also, the day after the wedding, Mary Ellen sent me a few photos she took behind the scenes. It was such a sweet and personal touch.

n.

ding day. We personally worked with Heather and I would recommend her 1,000 times! She was amazing in every way. If you’re looking for a wedding coordinator these are your ladies!

h a life saver, so calm and collected. Will recommend over and over.

questions I had for months up until the wedding, and she made sure I had every single detail planned out before the day of. I am a Type A bride, so it was hard for me to give control over my wedding to someone else, but from the moment I had my first call with Mary Ellen, I felt at complete peace that she would make sure everything ran smoothly. I cannot recommend the Georgia Grace team enough!

I found just that when working with them! They are so fun and they truly cater to your vision, our wedding day was so perfect and I cannot thank them enough!

had her help! She was amazing. Heather was very easy to work with from the very beginning, and had great ideas when we weren't sure what we should do for certain things. She is also very friendly! The day of, we felt like everything was under control and were able to relax and have fun with our friends and family while Heather and Jane kept everything running smoothly. We couldn't have had such a wonderful day without their help.

enough good things about Mary Ellen and her team - they are easy to work with, will help keep you on track, and provide great recommendations for other vendors. I really appreciate everything Georgia Graces did to guide me through my planning and event!

ithout them. Our event was everything we dreamed it would be an more.

xecuted an amazing team of vendors along with her team, to create the most beautiful wedding day! She is so professional and thoughtful of every detail that was important to us and our guests to execute the day! Our guests were blown away at this unforgettable wedding! The bride said" It was the best day of my life! "Mary Ellen is a true treasure and would recommend her to everyone! I will be using her in the future for my other two daughters!

ss stressful, and we felt as we could just enjoy our special day. We are truly blessed to be a part of the Georgia Grace Family.

lar on our wedding day. The whole day was organized (which is hard to do with our families) and stress free, and they made sure every single thing was taken care of. I would recommend Georgia Grace Weddings without hesitation! Jane was the best!!

g. She was always pleasant and accommodating! I did not have to worry about anything the day of the wedding. The whole staff was wonderful! I actually remember my daughter's special day and was able to enjoy it with her. I HIGHLY recommend GGW. I will definitely be calling them to help us with my other daughter's wedding in the future!

s of rain!! When I told Mary Ellen that I wanted to "rock the rain" meaning I wanted to walk out into the rain, she went and got an umbrella and said, "lets do this!!" I have never been more pleased with the professionalism, kindness, and respect that GGW gave me on my special day!! THANK YOU!!!

y did not even know half of the issues that arose. Seating and tables had to be moved around, COVID presented its own issues, and there were several last minute requests we tried to accommodate, but Heather and Mary Ellen tackled it all effortlessly and beautifully. I could not have done this wedding without them and I am forever grateful for their help. They even re-bustled my dress 3 times because I kept knocking it out with my dancing. Heather was my planner and coordinator throughout the planning process and she helped me with any problem that arose, even with having to change vendors due to COVID. I only met Mary Ellen on the wedding day but she was just as helpful and wonderful as Heather. Truly, the best women around. Hire them!

detail and was such a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. No matter what changes COVID threw at us (and there were a lot), Mary Ellen handled it effortlessly and immediately had back-up plans and recommendations for us. She coordinated and organized everything so we and our families were able to focus on the wedding and enjoy the day. We can't imagine planning our wedding without Mary Ellen's help. Thank you again, Mary Ellen and Georgia Grace Weddings!!

der control. Would absolutely recommend to any brides!

visit spaces. Jane went above and beyond -- contacting vendors to ask questions and get information we had never thought about, visiting our wedding and reception venues to make floor plans and recommendations to us, and recommending vendors that aligned with the style wedding we envisioned. Jane was calm, proactive, positive, communicative, and an absolute joy to work with. Since the wedding we've said over and over that hiring Jane was the best decision we made. We could not recommend her more!

responsive, offers creative suggestions, knowledgeable, and everything (and more!) you need in a wedding coordinator. Above all, she made our wedding day absolutely seamless. She made our families feel doted on, but, more importantly, she allowed my husband and I to actually enjoy every minute of our wedding. You will not regret choosing Georgia Grace Weddings!

n’t imagine the wedding without Mary Baker. She kept everyone (including the vendors) on time all night. She handled the little issues so I didn’t have to. She even made sure I had plenty of food and a drink the whole night. If you’re looking for the complete package for your wedding, look no further. GGW was hands down the best money we spent on the wedding. We will definitely steer any friends we come across to this awesome coordinator!

ring in all of our phone calls and meetings. She and her day-of assistant Sarah made the wedding day go smoothly and ensured that Peter and I got to relax and enjoy our special day with family and friends. Thank you so much Georgia Grace Weddings!

itself, coordinating details with all of our vendors, and along with her day of assistant, Heather, guaranteed that my husband and I (and our families!) had nothing to worry about on our big day. Plus they even checked in on us throughout the reception to make sure we had everything we needed. Thank you Georgia Grace for helping us have such a fun and memorable day!

ed everything runs so smoothly! Thank you, Mary Ellen, for making everyone happy on wedding day :) Holly Williams, owner/designer TheHollyGarden

g during my busy season at work, so I knew I needed help. Mary Ellen used shared google docs to prepare details, timelines, and ceremony layouts, which was interactive and collaborative. My husband and I also met with Mary Ellen twice in person, and I frequently emailed and called her. She always answered my questions promptly, even if I sent multiple in one day or if they seemed silly to me. She also offered a lot of good, creative suggestions and advice that we took to help make our wedding fun and unique. On the day of the wedding, everything was perfect, and I’m certain that is because of Mary Ellen and her assistant Heather who were coordinating the ceremony and reception. We followed the day-of timeline Mary Ellen created, and she was there to guide us and make sure everyone was where they were supposed to be and everything went smoothly. I didn’t have to worry about anything. I am so thankful that Mary Ellen and her team were there to make our wedding day so amazing! I would recommend her 100% to anyone embarking on the wedding planning journey.

r, and she was the calming presence every bride and groom need on their wedding day. I highly recommend Georgia Grace Weddings!
