I recently had the pleasure of working with Tanya as our wedding coordinator and decorator, and I cannot praise her enough for the exceptional job she did. From start to finish, her expertise and dedication were evident in every detail.
The day of our wedding was flawlessly orchestrated, with every element falling into place seamlessly. Her organizational skills ensured that everything ran smoothly, allowing us to enjoy every moment without stress.
The decor was nothing short of breathtaking. Tanya transformed our venue into a magical space that perfectly matched our vision. The attention to detail and creativity she brought to the table were remarkable, making our wedding both beautiful and unforgettable.
Thank you, Tanya, for your outstanding work and for making our special day absolutely perfect. Your hard work and passion truly made a difference, and we couldn’t be more grateful

I couldn't have asked for a better florist for my wedding day! From our initial meeting, I fell in love with all the choices I had. We picked everything — vases, flowers, chairs, napkins, chargers, linens… you name it. As a visual person, I was able to truly see how beautiful my day would be during our planning session. Everything was absolutely perfect — from the consultation to the final delivery of the flowers. The arrangements were breathtaking and perfectly aligned with my vision. The team was professional, creative, and incredibly attentive to every detail, ensuring my bouquet and all the florals were flawless. They truly went above and beyond to make my day even more beautiful. I highly recommend them!

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Graceful Designs through my company, Adrielle Events, for a summer wedding, and I couldn't have been more impressed. The floral arrangements were absolutely stunning, perfectly capturing the vision for the day. From the bride's bouquet to the elegant centerpieces, every detail was carefully crafted and full of life. Tanya was incredibly responsive throughout the planning process, offering creative suggestions while respecting our clients’ preferences. Everything was delivered on time, and they worked seamlessly with our other vendors to ensure a flawless event. The pricing was fair considering the high quality of the flowers and the bespoke service provided. I highly recommend Graceful Designs to anyone looking to add a touch of elegance and creativity to their wedding!

Mrs. Tanya and her team was BEYOND amazing!!! You couldn’t pay us to have anyone execute our vision and dream !!! When I dreamed of my “dream wedding” I didn’t come close to what we received!! It was beyond my wildest dreams! She trusted my vision and executed it sooooooo beautifully 🥹🤎 I am in literal tears! If you are thinking if you should go with her as a decorator or coordinator or even a planner, here’s your sign to just DO IT!!! You will NOT be disappointed!! If I could keep her to myself, I would. We would !! Mrs. Tanya thank you so much! It’s one thing to hire a vendor but it’s another when your vendors feel like family ! 🤎

I was so excited and she didn’t even know me at all. Her genuine heart really made my day so amazing. She didn’t have to do that but she did. Thank you so much again you rock.

Tanya and the entire Graceful Designs team are amazing! We started planning earlier than most, and Tanya never made us feel like we weren’t a priority. She was there every step of the way to answer all questions, accompany us to tours and tastings, and even facilitate vendor communication. She understood our wedding vision and not only executed, but EXCEEDED our expectations.
We had an awesome wedding day without any hiccups, and our guests can’t stop talking about how beautiful everything looked and how polite and accommodating our event staff was.

Awesome experience throughout the whole wedding process. The setup accommodated the venue where we were at which had certain restrictions. Was very open to our vision and to make sure it was what we wanted, never trying to force anything on us and only wanted us to showcase ourselves as best possible. The staff was awesome in setting up and serving, guest told me how they were never waiting for anything to be refilled or picked up. Tanya also was able to get in contact very easily to make sure things were going as planned or if needed any changes. Would highly recommend for any event but especially a wedding because took a bunch of the stressful things and turned them into a beautiful event.

Hey y’all ms Tanya is it. She helped my fiancé and I come to with a design for our wedding after we gave little input on what we wanted. All were told her we wanted was something simple, elegant, and classy. She came up with ideas right away and pictured everything in my head immediately. Our wedding was on October 17, 2020 and the whole venue was just pretty. She works hard and she really cares about taking stress off you as a couple. I highly recommend her.

Graceful Designs turns all your dreams into reality! The team was punctual, very professional and went out of their way to help make my last minute intimate wedding just perfect! We had already rescheduled our formal wedding due to the pandemic but decided to still get married on our original date a few days before. I decided I wanted a videographer the day of my wedding and Tanya made some phone calls and found a vendor. This was not just any vendor but a premier wedding vendor, just like Graceful Designs. How does that happen? I can't say enough about how perfect it all was. I am so thankful I hired Graceful Designs and would highly recommend them to any couple looking to get married. They can perform on any scale and I can't wait to see what we create for my large formal wedding next year!!

Where do I begin? To say that Tanya exceeded my expectations would be an understatement!
When I first began wedding planning, I admired Tanya’s work from afar on social media. She would be too expensive for us. Surely she would be booked. I didn’t want to get my hopes up. After meetings with two other decor companies, my coordinator scheduled a meeting with Tanya. When I met with her at her showroom, I was blown away! First of all she was warm and friendly and felt like my fabulous auntie! Second of all the pieces she had on display were phenomenal. Something for every taste, but everything was high quality and in like new condition. As I talked with her about my vision, she asked questions to make sure she understood my likes and dislikes. I could tell just from the questions she asked that she would be able to execute. And boy did she!!
I thought I knew what to expect, but Tanya outdid herself. Not only did she execute my vision, but she also included elements that I had no idea I wanted, but were just the right touch! And did everything with a smile and most of all grace!
Tanya created the bouquets for me and my bridal party and they were fantastic. I had meetings with other florists and one of them gave me a sample bouquet to take home. The bouquet that I got from Tanya was far superior. It was robust in color and substantial in weight without being overpowering. She even included a special photo of my deceased mother that I gave her.
Every piece flowed to the next. From the flowers to the centerpieces to the candles. Nothing was overdone. Everything was in just the right proportions to fill my large space. And everywhere I looked there was a surprise that Tanya threw in, knowing that it would be the perfect finishing touch!
I won’t have another wedding, but the first chance I get to have Tanya style my decor again cannot come soon enough!

Tanya and her team were incredible from the beginning of planning to wrapping up our wedding. You will not find anymore more hardworking and dedicated to making your day spectacular.
I had to only describe the type of flowers and ideas I had for bouquets and she made it happen. There's not a moment on the day of the wedding where I had to worry about anything. I was able to enjoy everything from dancing, to eating cake and talking with guests without worrying about what was coming next.
I cannot recommend Graceful Designs enough. Do yourself a favor and hire them for your big day! You will literally be able to sit back and enjoy every minute of your planning process.

Tanya and her team did SUCH an AMAZING job on our wedding. Both of our families absolutely adored her and looked to her and her team for guidance throughout the evening. She really outdid herself with the decorations and the beautiful bouquets! All of my bridesmaids packed theirs away immediately to take home with them (we used silk flowers and everyone wanted to touch them because they couldn't believe it). My new husband (!!!) even kept his boutonierre because it was such a beautiful real looking flower.
Every detail was covered, and the room was breathtaking. Also, any time I spoke with Tanya, she kept me sane and calm. Sometimes I didn't even realize how stressed I was until I got off the phone with her. I wish I had her as my wedding coordinator because she has the best personality and was full of awesome advice. People only become Bridezillas when they don't have someone like Tanya on their team.
Thank you very much to Graceful Designs for such a fantastic day!

I hired Tanya as my florist and wedding ceremony and reception decorator, but she far surpassed those titles! From day one, Tanya was everything a bride could have ever desired. She was super friendly and relatable with a smile and personality that calmed every wedding jitter I may have had! I never had to wonder if I would hear back from her or if a text would be acknowledged because she always was punctual in her responses. When I walked into the rooms she decorated for my big day, it took my breath away! She far exceeded my imagination! It was so regal, classy, upscale.... PERFECT. I felt like I was in a dream! Who would have thought that my vision would have been brought to life so perfectly?! Tanya truly delivered everything with style and grace. Even though she wasn't my coordinator, she, along with her staff member, LeAnn, took time out to come to my rehearsal to guide my hostesses on proper procedures for wedding day guest registration so that there would be no chaos with my 200+ guest list! And as if that weren't enough, Tanya and LeAnn stayed at my venue wedding day from start to finish to assist in any capacity... and we finished well after 10 PM! She has a heart of gold and wanted to be sure that no stone was left unturned-- she was there for my husband and I to make sure everything was to my liking. I could have never asked for a more perfect person to execute my decor and floral visions. I mean it was TRULY angelic. 6 weeks post wedding and I am still getting calls and texts about how beautiful it was! A friend called me yesterday and said, "I'm going to start calling you Nene Leakes because that wedding of yours was to die for! It was nothing like I've ever seen before! Just gorgeous! Flawless!" And you know what? It was all because of Tanya. She knew what I wanted and gave me exactly that, plus more. I will forever be grateful to her and her staff for making me the happiest bride! If you are in search of a coordinator, florist, planner-- please look no further! Tanya WILL deliver, without a doubt! She goes above and beyond, and because of that, my wedding will always be one for the books! A fairytale indeed! :)

Absolutely loved Graceful Designs, they were professional and great to work with. I told Tanya, the owner, exactly what I wanted and she made it happen. I loved everything she and her team did. The flowers made the day even more memorable and I am very thankful for their help!

I will start by saying that I am actually genuinely shocked that Tanya has so many positive reviews because my encounter with her was nothing but unprofessional. My first encounter with Tanya started off on a bad foot, with her being late to our meeting. We had a 6pm meeting at her store, and I sat outside on a bench with my mother for at least 10 minutes. Which, isn't a terribly long time; however, I feel that it is important to always be on time.
Now, with that being said, I will say that when I actually sat down with Tanya and spoke with her, she was amazing, very personable and full of ideas. I really thought I would have loved working with her. However, after meeting with her, she indicated that she would get a quote to me by the following Tuesday. Well, Tuesday came and went. The following Tuesday, one full week later, I emailed her to ask her about the quote - she said I would have it that evening. Well, it's been three weeks, still no quote.
Now, I understand that in life, things come up; however, I would think that it would be communicated to the bride. It's unprofessional.
Maybe this was a one time bad experience; however, in my one experience, I experienced a "professional" who was late, seemed a bit unorganized, and in my opinion, unprofessional.
If this type of thing doesn't bother you, she's great. Like I said, very nice. However, in my opinion, I am paying for an organized service, I am paying for someone to keep me stress free, and I don't feel like Tanya is a person who could do that. I would not recommend her services.

Our wedding was on a random Wednesday evening and we only had about 3-4 weeks to plan our special day. Graceful Designs assisted with everything from start to finish to ensure everything would go smoothly despite the time frame. At our initial consultation, we worked on invitation designs and were able to get those out in a matter of days. We also discussed our likes and dislikes for the ceremony and reception so that everyone would be on one page with planning ideas. On our wedding day, there was no stress whatsoever!!! Our wedding was on a public beach yet Graceful Designs already had staff on the beach hours before the ceremony to scope out space, set up chairs, decorate, and add all of the special touches we envisioned for our day. Since they were aware that I may be stressed, the least concern they wanted me to have was staying on track with time. Another member of the staff was sent to the brides hotel room to keep everyone on schedule so that we would arrive promptly for pre-wedding photos and of course for the ceremony. From the time we arrived at the beach to the end of the ceremony, everything went exactly how we envisioned. The main aspect that I was most grateful for with everything was that I did not have to coordinate anything. I gave the contact information for the DJ, Sound technician, Minister, best man, maid of honor, parents, etc. to Graceful Designs and after that, I did not have to worry about anything. Yet, somehow everything fell into place just how we envisioned at our initial consultation. Our reception was to follow at my parent's home and you would never know the reception was in a home and not a rented reception hall. Our sweetheart table and our cake table were decorated with beautiful floral arrangements as though they were from a magazine. We stayed on schedule and were able to still have fun enjoying our family and friends who came from near and far to witness our union. This day was so "easy breezy" for us (bride and groom, and parents) and we cannot thank Mrs. Frazier and Graceful Designs enough!!! They made all of our dreams come true for our special day in a matter of WEEKS and did not sacrifice any quality whatsoever. This was the BEST DAY EVER and I am thankful for having the opportunity to have such a wonderful team to provide such wonderful services for our day!!!

We engaged Graceful Designs LLC to facilitate and coordinate our wedding planning details and we had zero regrets making that choice. Graceful Designs eliminates the potential concern associated with your event, by focusing not only on the many tedious details of a wedding, but also by tactfully addressing the often awkward situations that can inevitably accompany large family gatherings. What impressed us the most about the service is not what Graceful Designs promised to deliver—but rather what they did so effortlessly as just part of their routine execution. Any follow ups with a change in the number of attendees, a new vendor, an additional invitation or a late arriving guest were all smoothly accommodated, without fuss.
In our situation, the actual wedding coordinator position at the venue was refilled a few months before our date, causing us to worry about the details, given a new person’s involvement. Our concerns were happily unwarranted, with Graceful Designs involved in the process. Graceful Designs ensured that all planning needs were addressed by the new coordinator, by immediately scheduling meetings with her and reviewing / updating all previous timelines, with additional focus. All timing parameters were met with precision by Graceful Designs, by not only Tanya Frazier, the owner, but also by her extended team members. If a meeting needed to be rescheduled, we always received a phone call and/or an e-mail well in advance. Everyone on the Graceful Designs team was well trained, poised, professional and diplomatic in all circumstances that arose with our event. They arrived on time, ready to accommodate all requirements of any situation, with relative ease.
Graceful Designs, as a selected option, provided all the flowers for our wedding, delivering inspired arrangements and unique high / low colorful centerpieces, reflective of our chosen theme.
Above all, Tanya Frazier, herself, enjoys the pomp and regalia of event execution, and it clearly shows in her genuine excitement about every detail and nuance of your celebration. We heartily endorse Graceful Designs and her exceptional team for your next special occasion, no matter how extensive or modest. Her talent is well worth the expense involved to ensure a flawless, memorable event!

Tanya is awesome! We had a situation with another vendor being unable to get the linen we contracted. We did not discover this until the week of our wedding. I called Tanya and she was accommodating, professional, flexible, just an absolute God sent. The sequins linen for our wedding was beautiful!!!!!!! I was panicking until Tanya got involved. Lesson learned, just called Tanya/Graceful Designs, she has everything in stock and can show you versus other vendors who have to order the product. Thanks Tanya!!!!!!!

It was not a wedding but it felt like one! It was my daughter's sweet sixteen and Graceful Designs LLC made sure Alexandria felt like a princess on the day of event. From the wonderful and professional staff, the elegant peacock theme decoration, all the recommended vendors provided down to the precise coordination of the schedule. Tanya and her staff made this event cherished and memories created by all who attended.

I have used Graceful Designs, LLC in the past for other event planning, so when my daughter and son-in-law announced that they wanted to have a wedding, I knew exactly who I wanted to plan their wedding...Graceful Designs, LLC!
Tanya Frazier, Wedding Coordinator of Graceful Designs, LLC is tops in this business. With more than 20 years of experience, she knows the business as well as the vendors, and they know and respect her. She works tirelessly with her customers to ensure that every detail of the event is covered sufficiently. I love the fact that Graceful Designs also has a variety of wedding packages in which to choose from to fit any budget. This way the customer is not bogged down with paying for one service that may not apply to their individual needs. Graceful Designs number one priority is the customer! I would highly recommend using Graceful Designs, LLC for all of your event planning needs. You will not be disappointed. I have rated Graceful Designs with "EXCELLENT" across the board. As far as I am concerned, Graceful Designs, LLC is TOPS!!!!

Words can't describe how happy both my husband and I are with our decision to have Tonya and her grew (Graceful Designs) be our daughter’s wedding coordinator and decorator! It was worth all the money to get her services. From the start, Tonya won us over with her warm smile and southern hospitality. She was very tentative to my daughters and son in law’s needs. She worked within our budget and one thought we spent a million dollars on the wedding. We have never regretted choosing Graceful Designs. We worked together for almost a whole year and it felt like working with a family member.
We still can’t get over the amazing decorations Tonya and her staff did for the ceremony and reception. It was breath taking. Our entire guest loved Tonya and her staff. They were on top of things and it was a wonderful experience. She has an eye for making sure that the bride gets what she needs. It didn’t hesitate to offer alternative suggestions on flowers and so forth. The décor captured my daughter’s wishes. A Happy Bride is a Happy Wedding.
We only have one daughter. So we won’t be planning another wedding. If we did have more and they decided to get married, we would definitely use Tonya service in a heartbeat. Graceful Designs ROCK!!!

First thing I want to say is if there was such thing as a fairy God Mother, then that’s exactly what Tanya Frazier is. I hired Tanya Frazier as my Coordinator and Florist. She truly made my wedding not only beyond my husband and I expectations, but all of my family and friends. She’s definitely the best florist and coordinator in the Hampton roads area and she can turn anything modest into something astonishingly beautiful. I had my moments when I was getting stressed out about the wedding, but Tanya calmed me down in seconds and told me to relax she has everything under control. And that’s exactly what she did. During my wedding planning process I was going through some rough times, and Tanya was there to guide me through with her wonderful advice. She knew I was on a very tight budget, and she was so flexible with me and I really can’t thank her enough for all the hard work she has done. She suggested some wonderful vendors for me and she really only suggests the most hardworking, generous and reliable vendors like her.
I sincerely believe there was no better person for the job than her. She is a very hard working, dedicated and busy woman, but is always available any time of day or night. Tanya is truly one of the sweetest ladies I’ve ever met. When she coordinated for my rehearsal my family was in awe for her work and her organizational skills exceeded everyone’s expectations. My family immediately felt her dedication to make sure the wedding was perfect. Everyone in my family was asking where I found such an amazing wedding planner. She really treats her clients wedding as if they were her own, and she was so delightful and respectful to my family and made all my wishes come true.
The graceful designs team was so amazing and made sure everything in my wedding was in perfect order flowed on time.
I’m still in shock on how beautiful my wedding turned out and it wouldn’t have been possible without Graceful Designs. There is no better feeling than having a beautiful wedding and having all your family and friends tell you it was the best wedding they have ever been too. Thanks so much Graceful Designs!!!
