Ally and Jourdan were amazing! I got to know them for two years due to our long engagement and they were with us every step of the way. Our day turned out to be exactly what we wanted and they were there to make sure everything we wanted to happen on our wedding day did. They made sure everyone like the photographer and our wedding party were getting the shots we wanted. They are so personable and caring! They were trying so hard to keep my bustle attached and even had to throw a few stitches in it. They made sure I was keeping hydrated and that I was okay throughout the day. Hands down you should hire them for your day!
Ally & Jordan are the BOMB.COM!!! They were absolutely incredible with keeping everything organized, prompt with communication, and just SO MUCH FUN! I loved having them with us, we felt so close with them. I wouldn’t have it any other way and I’m SO happy we decided to go with Grace & Truth Weddings. Thank you so much for making the wedding planning process easier, being patient with us, getting us the venue of our dreams, and giving us the best day of our lives. 1000/10 recommend! Book now!!! <3
Ally & Jourdan are the absolute best! They planned our perfect wedding! They were so easy to work with & made our day so special! Our wedding wouldn’t have been the same without them!
Any questions?
As the official unofficial “Groom of the Year”, I can tell you we had the absolute pleasure of working with Grace and Truth Weddings, and I can’t say enough good things about them. With my fiancé juggling school and work, we were worried about how stressful the planning process might be, but they made everything so easy. They handled every detail with care and professionalism, ensuring we were (mostly) stress-free during the planning, rehearsal dinner, and the big day itself. Their ability to manage not just us, but our families and wedding party, was amazing. The day went off without a hitch, and I truly can’t imagine how we would have done it without them. If you’re looking for wedding planners who go above and beyond, look no further than Grace and Truth Weddings!
Ally & Jourdan were great with helping our wedding planning! Their hard work and dedication made it much easier as my wife and I were busy getting affairs in order. They give you a family-like vibe, where everything seems comfortable with them. It was a pleasure working with them, and cannot believe the time has already passed. Definitely would recommend them for other couples tying the knot!

Working with you guys for over a year made you feel like family! We love the Smith/Gillenwaters!
Ally and Jourdan are simply amazing at what they do! Throughout the entire planning process, they kept checking in and reassuring me that everything was going to be fine and turn out beautiful. In the weeks leading up to my wedding they were super helpful in setting up walkthroughs, helping me make final decisions, and communicating with my vendors! On my wedding day, I could not have asked for better. Ally stayed with me all day, and it felt like I had known her for years. She was constantly checking to make sure my makeup didn’t need to be touched up, made sure I looked good for pictures all day, kept us on track as much as possible, and made sure I had everything I needed! Jourdan made my ceremony and reception decor dreams come to life, sewed my officiant into her dress, cleaned spilled coke off of my dress (quick with those tide wipes!), and was on hand for any questions! My family and I can’t stop talking about how great it was to have these fabulous women on our vendor team!
My wedding would have been no where near as perfect without Jourdan and Ally. They provided invaluable advice during planning and were truly my rocks and saving grace on wedding day. Besides being genuinely kind and caring people, they were so organized, diligent, thoughtful, patient, and resourceful. They rolled with the punches for last minute hiccups with my cake, took care of me when the AL heat got the better of me during our photo session, and made sure that our every piece of our wedding happened exactly the way we envisioned it. I couldn't think of a better dynamic duo to trust one of the biggest days of your life with. I'd recommend them to every friend and family I have. Thank you so much Jourdan and Ally!
As a wedding photographer, I have been blessed to be able to work with Grace and Truth Weddings as a vendor. And not only are their designs stunning, but Ally & Jourdan are the best! Their detailed organization allows wedding days to run so smoothly (a dream for their couples and vendors)! They have such sweet personalities that you feel like you are family instantly. Their artistic eye and cohesive style is breathtaking. Plus, I am so thankful that their faith and love of Jesus is infused into their brand. Overall, I would recommend any bride seeking a professional planning service to choose Grace and Truth Weddings. Your day will be truly stress-free and beautiful!
Jourdan & Ally were a pleasure to work with! Both ladies made sure that our wedding day was an absolute success. I loved how they made sure we did certain things throughout the ceremony such as eating! Lol. That was very important and Ally made sure we sat down and ate! I appreciate her for that! Both ladies were so amazing and really do know what they are doing. I was thinking to myself how would I have gotten through the day without them and I just said to myself I wouldn’t have! Such beautiful souls who take pride in what they do! Hubby & I can’t thank you both enough! Grace & Truth will always be who I recommend to my friends & family in the future!

My day would not have been possible with out these three!! I had some difficult situations to handle and they were so gracious and patient. I really appreciate all the time and dedication to making sure everyone was on the same page. My day went super smoothly and we didn't have any hiccups. I would recommend them to anyone!
Jourdan and Ally were the best to work with and hiring them was one of the best decisions we made for the wedding day! They took over vendor communication and answered all questions we had leading up to the day. On the day of they kept everything run smoothly and were able to change the timeline around when we were ready to be done early. Everyone in the bridal party and our families commented on how great they were to have! Could not go wrong with hiring Grace and Truth Weddings
These girls are worth their weight in gold. Ally and Jordon helped us with inter-vendor communication and planning. On the day of the wedding, they ran the show with expertise and professionalism that can only be gained from extensive experience. Because the two are a duo, one was able to stay with me where I was getting ready and the other stayed at the venue, managing all the vendors (i.e. making sure doors were open, everyone arrived, nothing missing, etc). Having one of the girls with me at all times was such a relief. I didn’t have to worry about a thing! They kept my cell phone and water bottle for me so I didn’t need to carry anything. They went above and beyond to make sure we had anything and everything we needed. At one point I needed some concealer (after crying mine of during my vows) and I hadn’t brought any. One of them ran out to her car and brought me her own personal makeup bag! Life savers! They tag teamed my husband and I, ensuring that we always had what we needed. They made sure we ate and that our drinks were appropriately balanced with enough water — hard to remember when you’re being pulled a million directions during the reception. I cannot say enough good things about these two ladies. My wedding wouldn’t have been near as successful and I would have been a hot mess (stressed and rough looking!) without them. Here’s why you should hire these two over others:
1.) there are two of them. They can split up on the day of and cover all the bases. Also, if one gets sick or something happens, you’ve got a backup coordinator that you know already, not some rando that the company throws at you.
2.) they make things so easy. Having them was like having a genie in a bottle — Let your wish be known and they will make it happen!
3.) they are so sweet and funny, down to earth, easy to jive with. This makes them a great choice for you but also means they no how to sweet talk vendors to make your desires reality.
4.) they are worth the money. I think they could have charged us twice what we paid for what they did. Talk about value. Worth every penny!
I just can’t get over how great they were. Ally and Jordon are fantastic. Pull the trigger - hire them!
Jourdan and Ally were phenomenal! They answered each and every question we had through the planning process and really took the time to ensure we were comfortable with the entire day. They were very tedious with contacting vendors and making sure everyone was on the same page for our special day. Our wedding day was everything and more thanks to Ally and Jourdan. If I could redo our wedding over, I would not change a thing! We are forever grateful for the relationship that was formed through the process and we hope to work with Jourdan and Ally again one day!
Grace &Truth asked us how we envisioned our wedding and about the details that were important to us and then coordinated with all the vendors and the Cathedral to bring together an amazing wedding.
Could not have done it without them.
They were the day of Wedding Coordinators for my daughter's Wedding. They did a great job. I don't know what I would have done without them. The Wedding went smoothly with them. My daughter had her fairytale Wedding that she has always dreamed of. Thank You so much!
I worked with Jourdan and Ally as a photographer on a summer wedding recently, and I was absolutely blown away. Having worked with planners and day of coordinators in the past, I was expecting the ball to be dropped, to take on responsibilities myself, and to be constantly looking for someone for questions to be answered. Grace and Truth could not have been further from that. There was not a moment in the day that I didn’t have eyes on at least one of them! I watched them serve the bride and groom tirelessly all day (including non stop ice waters hand delivered to the dance floor). They created an atmosphere of joy and peace on what could have been a hectic day. As women, they are the most kind hearted genuine souls I’ve ever met. I cannot tell you the number of brides I’ve sent their way since. You cannot go wrong; trust me when I say, Ally and Jourdan are two in a million!
Jourdan and Ally are both amazing. I had a 6 month engagement and they made all of the steps in the planning process so easy. I cannot recommend them enough to help plan your wedding. I felt that my wedding day went so smoothly and turned out just how I imagined it. Jourdan and Ally are both very responsive and answered all of my questions. They are a great team to work with!
Jordan and Ally were amazing! After our first meeting I didn’t feel like I had to worry about a thing they had everything handled! It didn’t matter what I threw at them they would make it work!! My husband and I loved working with them and would recommend them to everyone!! They always made sure we had a drink in our hand and we were having fun. If something didn’t work they would change things around to make everything at our venue look the best it possibly could!
Jourdan & Ally are completely spectacular!! These ladies helped me navigate the wedding planning process by providing their expert opinion whenever I wasn't confident in making a decision, and they were extremely helpful when it came to trimming costs since we were ballin' on a budget. Jourdan was really great about answering all of my texts, even when I felt like I had a silly question. They both went above and beyond to make our wedding day seamless, but my favorite thing about this entire experience was seeing them learn some basic sign language (ASL) in order to communicate with my Deaf family. Their thoughtfulness did not go unnoticed, many of my family members (and wedding guests) raved about how personable they are. This simple act not only aided in our day going smoother, but it also warmed my heart--thank y'all so much for doing that! Another thing that I greatly appreciated was how Ally helped me at the reception. Of course guests wanted to say hi etc. and we would migrate towards the photobooth to snap a picture. Ally was really great about wrangling me back to the dance floor (where I wanted to be!) so I wasn't stuck spending the evening with a line at the photobooth.
Hands down, these are your women. Don't even think twice, just book them--they're practical, affordable, personable, and will make your wedding day go as smoothly as possible!!
Jourdan and Ally (Grace and Truth) are fantastic! Their professionalism and care were over the top! I am so pleased with how everything turned out. I felt like they saw my vision and heard my concerns. Their experience and preparedness helped us to feel very comfortable with all of the choices and decisions we faced! If you like a personal touch and a professional attitude, these ladies are the best choice for your wedding! I feel so blessed that they were there to guide us through this experience!
Ally and Jourdan literally killed it. Our day turned out to be exactly what we wanted and they were there to make sure everything we wanted to happen on our wedding day did. They made sure everyone like the photographer and our wedding party were cooperating with our vision as well. Not to mention they helped us find a VEGAN caterer! And helped us achieve our ridiculous goal of having vegan and gluten free options!! I can go on and on seriously. We didn’t realize how badly we needed these ladies until the day of. It made it so easy to just enjoy our day. They were so personable and respectful and kind. They even made an effort to understand relationships and peoples names and family members. Lastly they helped minimize family drama and make sure that my husbands family (divorced parents) all felt adequately important and loved and placed preventive things to avoid conflict. Seriously recommend! Thank you for everything you two did… we are so insanely grateful to you!!
Honestly the best decision I made for my wedding was hiring these wedding planners. I did not want to stress about planning and these ladies helped immensely. I got the full service package and have no regrets. They helped keep the time line straight on when to find vendors, had great suggestions for my florist/DJ/HMU and helped me contact and organize contracts and decisions with everyone. They also went above and beyond and helped coordinate my HMU trial with my bridal portraits. Wedding day was a breeze with them creating a timeline, letting all vendors know where and when they needed to be, making sure our families knew where and when to be, bustling my dress, organizing the sparkler exit, and even packed everything we needed into my car so we could leave directly from the venue with no clean up. 10/10 would choose them again.
I hired Grace & Truth to help plan my rehearsal dinner. As mother of the groom, I had family in town and a million things to think about. G&T managed my event so I could enjoy the moment! From decor, to vendor communication, to set up. Everything was perfect and I could not have done it without them! They are the best.

Lisa,
You planned a fabulous event! We were honored to get to assist you with your day. We are glad that it allowed you to just enjoy your time with your family.
Hiring Grace and Truth was THE BEST decision that we made for our wedding day! These women are at the top of their game making sure that your big day goes off without a hitch! It is truly incredible the dedication that they have to their couples and families, and I cannot imagine what our wedding day would have looked like without them there. They are not only AMAZING at what you hire them to do, but they also go above and beyond to build a personal and friendly connection with you and your partner as well as your family. Ally, Jourdan, and Caroline were so encouraging and supportive throughout the whole wedding planning and coordinating process and I really could not be more thankful for all that they did to make our wedding the greatest day of mine and my husband’s lives!

Katie,
We are so glad that you had a great wedding day. You and Hardie are so sweet and we hope to stay in touch!
Ally & Jourdan are AMAZING both professionally and personally. They helped us plan TWO weddings due to the timing of the COVID-19 pandemic. The first being a large traditional ceremony & reception (2020) and the second a small, intimate, COVID friendly ceremony & reception (2021). Whether you are looking for big or small, they have ALL the answers...and if they don’t they will find the person who goes. They were worth every penny, and more! Any bride/groom who has the pleasure of working with them will be better for it. Ten stars!!

Brittany,
Planning your wedding twice was no problem - but we are so glad we finally got your down the aisle. You are Zac are the sweetest couple!
There are not enough words to express my gratitude for all the time and effort Ally and Jourdan took to ensure that my daughter’s wedding was a success. From the cancellation of the big wedding last year due to Covid, and all the changes that had to be made in this almost 1.5 year process to ensure everyone’s safety, these ladies made it happen. We had a beautiful smaller ceremony with a backyard reception that exceeded everyone’s expectations. They are by far top notch wedding planners, and I would highly recommend them for your special day!

Sherri,
You were so much fun to work with! Brittany's wedding really was beautiful, even with the rain!
Our day went so smooth thanks to Ally & Jourdan! They were organized and had everything under control. If anything went wrong, I still don’t know about it!! Thank you for giving us a stress free day that we were able to enjoy to the fullest!!!
Response from the Vendor on 11/17/2021
Stress free is our goal! So glad we could give that to you!
Ally and Jourdan truly are truth and grace. They have what it takes to handle any situation and make it a wonderful day!
Response from the Vendor on 11/17/2021
Thank you so much Robin! These words mean so much to us!
Jourdan and Ally are wonderful to work with! As a catering company, we really enjoy working with them behind the scenes to make the wedding day go smoothly! They are very communicative with us and the brides throughout the planning process and it makes the actual wedding day much less stressful! We would happily recommend them to any of our clients! :)
Thank you, thank you, thank you to Grace and Truth weddings! Jourdan and Ally are the best, hands down. These ladies are professional, passionate about what they do and will go above and beyond for you. Before my wedding, I didn’t know what direction to go or where to start. Jourdan and Ally helped me get all of my vendors together, then we moved on to the details. They answered all my various questions and organized all my thoughts into the most beautiful wedding day I could have asked for! The day of our wedding, they kept everything running smoothly and allowed my husband and I to enjoy ourselves. They handled all the vendors and our loved ones, with grace and truth. Exactly like their name, these ladies are the perfect duo to arrange all the details and then make it all come together to be the best day of your life.

Taylor,
Your day was the most fun! Pretty sure you had one of the most memorable exits - sparklers in the rain!
Jourdan and Ally were absolutely incredible to work with. Even in the midst of 2020, I couldn't have asked for a wedding to run smoother. The fact that there is two of them made a huge difference. On our wedding day, my husband and I could focus on each other and enjoying the day, and we did not have to think about a single administrative task. Ally and Jourdan really covered all the bases every step of the way. I'm so thankful for them and their ability to make us feel so peaceful on a day that could have been stressful.

Leanna,
You are the sweetest! Thank you for allowing us to be apart of your beautiful day!
I absolutely LOVE these ladies!!! Not only are they hard working and dependable, but they are also truly caring and so much fun to be around! I don’t know how I could have possibly gotten married without them! They actually helped me plan my wedding twice. I had to cancel my first wedding in March 2020 about 1 week out from wedding day due to covid. They quickly helped discuss rescheduling plans with all of my vendors for October 2020. They were very supportive throughout the hectic process and really controlled the chaos for me. They helped me organize a beautiful ceremony and reception that was truly personalized to me and my husband as well as safe for my guests. The entire day went so smoothly that guests even commented on it! Most importantly, my mother and I were able to relax and enjoy the day! I definitely would recommend Grace and Truth 100x over!
Response from the Vendor on 11/30/2020
Thank you Dana! It was so much fun getting to work with you - especially planning it twice! You and Asaf are such a fun, sweet couple!
Ally and Jourdan were there from the beginning, making sure my wedding dream came true. Spoiler-- it did-- and it was because of them. Their consistent advice and communication with me, my family and vendors leading up to the Big Day (not to mention multiple in-person meetings and video chats), as well as their tireless and detailed work on the day before and the entire wedding day allowed my Pinterest board dreams to come to life. Anything and everything I worried about, they made sure didn't happen. Anything and everything I wanted, they did everything in their power to successfully make reality. Detail-oriented very accurately describes these two, because what made my wedding was the details, and Grace and Truth attended to every single one.
Not to mention, Jourdan truly is Grace, and Ally truly is Truth. They compliment each other so well, both have a place in the wedding setting (especially with vendors, friends and family members), and both are the compassionate wedding experts every Birmingham bride needs in her life. These are the wedding planners you are searching for!

Shanley, You were such a joy to work with! We are so glad we got you married before the shut down!
I worked with Jourdan and Ally on a Halloween wedding, and they were GREAT! As a vendor, teamwork makes the dream *wedding* work. They helped not only the bride, but me as well as hair and makeup, get everything anybody needed. I've never had a wedding day run so smoothly! I look forward to working with them again soon!
Response from the Vendor on 11/30/2020
Courtney! Thank you! Can't wait to work with you again!
