I cannot say enough good things about Graceful Events, specifically Katie. Our first phone call with Jaffe was lovely and informative, and after that Katie took the best care of us...
. We worked with her to both plan and design the wedding. Her vendor recommendations were spot on every time, and from our inspiration discussions she brought our vision perfectly to life. She was always honest about what she thought would and wouldn't work (and was always right). My Mom passed prior to this wedding, and I knew I wanted to honor her memory in a joyful way on the day. Katie had several ideas on how to do this, which made the day that much more special. She was a life saver and the day wouldn't have been as amazing without her. Work with Graceful Events for your wedding, you won't regret it!

Hiring Graceful Events, specifically Robyn and Katie as our day-of coordinator and designer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. They brought everything together ...
flawlessly — from the overall design vision to the tiniest last-minute details — and made the entire day feel effortless.
We had a “Bridgerton meets autumn” theme, and they understood it completely. The design was romantic, warm, and elegant — every space looked like it belonged in a storybook. Beyond the aesthetic, their coordination was impeccable. They kept the entire day running seamlessly, handled every vendor with professionalism, and made sure we never had to worry about a thing.
It was clear how much care and heart went into everything they did. We were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment, knowing that they had it all handled. Our guests raved about how beautiful the day was — and we owe that to Graceful Events.
We truly can’t thank them enough for turning our vision into reality and making our wedding day even more perfect than we imagined.

She was constantly one step ahead—running around to grab things I needed and making sure the whole day flowed perfectly. I truly believe the reason I felt so calm the morning of my wedding was because I knew Jessica had everything under control. I can’t recommend her enough—she was such a key part of making our day so beautiful and perfect!

Hiring Graceful Events for our wedding coordination was truly one of the best decisions we made in the entire wedding planning process. We chose the Gold Package for our July 2025...
Lake Geneva wedding and were connected with our incredible coordinator, Hailey, six months before the big day.
From our very first consultation call with Jaffe, it was clear that Graceful Events is unmatched in the Lake Geneva wedding world. Jaffe’s familiarity with nearly every one of our vendors immediately gave us peace of mind and confidence in the choices we had made.
Once we were paired with Hailey and began meeting with her, we instantly felt a new level of calm and security. Hailey was such an incredible resource to run decisions by, help us monitor our to-do list, and ask for advice along the way. Hailey is one of the best in the game; it was evident that she knew wedding planning like the back of her hand. In the months leading up to the wedding, Hailey was readily available whenever we needed her, and she took over complete communication with each of the vendors.
Although we were blown away by her organization and experience leading up to the wedding, the actual wedding weekend was Hailey’s time to shine. From taking charge at the wedding rehearsal, setting up the ceremony and reception PERFECTLY, directing vendors to the right place, to keeping this bride calm and cool with her portable fan on the 85-degree day, Hailey was nothing short of a superstar. We truly cannot thank her and her assistant, Olivia, enough for all they did to make our day as perfect as it was. Hiring Graceful Events for your wedding coordination or planning needs is quite literally the best investment you can make - they are worth every penny. I recommend them to anyone planning a wedding in the Lake Geneva area and beyond. THANK YOU, Graceful Events, for making our dream wedding a reality!!!

I hired Graceful Events for day-of wedding coordination and was paired with Kacie, who was absolutely wonderful. Kacie has a fantastic eye for detail and kept everything running sm...
oothly. As someone who is very anxious and Type A, I was so grateful for how calm and reassuring she was during the stressful moments in the last month leading up to the wedding. She always answered my texts and calls quickly, no matter how random my questions were.
On the wedding day, Kacie was amazing. She handled every little hiccup that came her way and took over communication with vendors and the venue, which made me feel so much less stressed. After the wedding, there were some issues related to our venue, which were definitely out of Kacie’s control, but she went out of her way to facilitate conversations and help resolve the situation.
A day-of coordinator is an absolute must, and Kacie was wonderful in every way!

Graceful Events is a true miracle worker. From the moment we met our wedding planner, she was kind, reassuring, and immediately made us feel like we were in the best hands. Every s...
ingle detail we mentioned—big or small—Gabriella was on top of it instantly. She created the most detailed timeline, covering every minute of the day, and sent it out to all of our vendors. She personally called each one to walk them through the schedule so everyone knew exactly where they needed to be and when.
But it doesn’t stop there. Gabriella handled all the communication, all the coordination, and all the decorating—completely on her own. She never once bothered me with questions or clarifications. She just knew where everything should go, like she had read my mind. She ran back and forth from the venue to the bridal suite and handled every little thing before I even knew it needed to be done. She answered every text, call, and email within minutes, which made me feel so supported throughout the entire process.
Because of Gabriella, I never once worried that something would go wrong. I was calm, relaxed, and genuinely able to enjoy every moment of the day—and I completely credit that to her. I wish I could have her in my daily life because she made everything feel so easy and effortless.
There is absolutely no way our wedding would have been what it was without Gabriella. I cannot thank her enough, and I will recommend her a thousand times over to anyone getting married.

everything flowed so smoothly and we were able to actually enjoy the moment without stressing about the details. She made sure everyone was where they needed to be, handled any last-minute issues with total grace, and brought such a warm, positive energy.

We had the most amazing experience with Graceful Events (and Shelby specifically!).
We opted to go with the day-of-coordinator package, which meant we planned the bulk of our wed...
ding, and Shelby helped us cross the finish line in the final month of planning. This was SO incredibly helpful, and I recommend it to anyone planning a wedding.
Shelby met with us a few weeks before the wedding to help coordinate what needed to be done day-of. She helped ensure our venue was set up properly, all the vendors made it, and that the entire event was executed as we wanted. She did a 10/10 job on this, often checking in with us frequently throughout the wedding day, responding to all our texts the week of the wedding, and helping manage other family members. Shelby was so sweet and supportive throughout the entire process; we cannot recommend her enough!!!
Shelby was also familiar with all of our vendors, as they had worked together in the past, which helped make things go even more smoothly. Overall, it was such a wonderful experience, and we are so glad we had her!

First I want to say hiring Graceful Events for our wedding was probably one of the best things we did. I truly don't think I could have gotten through the day by myself. We got ass...
igned Kacie as our coordinator and I have no idea how she is able to stay so organized and scheduled but everything on my end was moving seamlessly because of her.
She had every vendors information and was either calling or texting them, she had everything moving at the time we discussed and if we were even off a little bit by the schedule she was already ten steps ahead of me getting me back on schedule. She was beyond helpful in ways I can't even explain. She kept me calm when I started to panic and she handled every situation that came up with literal ease. I never saw her once seem stressed this all seemed like second nature to her!
I was so stressed and not sleeping before my wedding and the day came and when Kacie showed up I truly felt like I could take a breath. She is amazing. I would recommend her and Graceful Events to anyone. My husband and I said this was the one thing we spent money on that was worth every penny and our only regret truly is not getting the higher package because I would have probably been less stressed leading up to the wedding. Everyone commented on how amazing my wedding was they have not stopped haha and literally Kacie had a huge part in making that happen not to mention her recommendations for things and really checking in with me before the wedding. She is magic and I am so lucky you assigned her to us.
Graceful Events is truly amazing I even had Abbey at St. Francis De Sales church who I found out is ALSO with Graceful Events and she is AMAZING so I got to work with two people from the Graceful Events team . I am so lucky we found your company and there is truly not enough ways to say thank you for making my wedding one of the best things we will ever remember!

(my planner) was there for every.single.thing. I needed. She understood my vision and always made sure all my vendors adhered to this vision. She is a girl who gets it done!! She is organized, on time, responsive, and has a back up plan for a back up plan.
I kept telling people, the day before my wedding was one of the least stressful days of my life because I knew Andrea had it covered.
I had so many people come up to me day of the wedding and rave about how amazing my planner was.
If you are on the fence about getting a planner and wondering if it is worth it- I am here to tell you it is worth every penny!!

My husband and I did things a little non-traditional. We had a small elopement/micro wedding in Glacier National Park with only our immediate family in July of 2023. However, we al...
so wanted to celebrate with friends and family so we ended up having a reception back home in August of 2023! Our reception took place at Boxed and Burlap in Delevan. It was perfect! Although we didn’t have a traditional ceremony the day of our reception, we still had a lot of moving pieces and different vendors to account for. Initially, I felt odd inquiring about a day of coordinator since it was only a reception, but I wasn’t sure I could navigate the wedding world alone. I reached out to Graceful Events just to see what they had to offer. Jaffe reached out right away and we ended up chatting over the phone! She was very responsive to all questions and incredibly supportive. Immediately, I felt inclined to book with Graceful Events because I already felt at ease and reassured about the entire process. If I am being honest, hiring a day of coordinator through Graceful Events was the best money we spent!!
Jaffe paired us with Kacie Vandiver. Kacie was beyond incredible and everything you could have hoped for in a day of coordinator! We met in person twice to go over the plan and vision for the day. She was also accessible and very responsive to text and emails. She helped make an itinerary and timeline for each vendor. This was very helpful because we had a lot of different vendors and she helped everything, and everyone come together seamlessly. Each time I left our meetings, I felt more assured and excited for the day. The day of, she truly went above and beyond!! She worked with an intern, Shelby, who was also incredibly helpful and kind! They helped set up all of the decorations and made sure everything was ready to go. They even did a venue “reveal” with my husband and I and it was so fun to see everything come together. As they say, the day always goes SO fast. Because of her, my husband and I were able to truly be present at our reception and enjoy every second. I feel so fortunate to have gotten a chance to work with Kacie! I cannot possibly thank her or recommend her enough!

If there was a problem on our wedding day I never will know because everything was flawless thanks to Andrea. She was so thoughtful and attentive too and it was like she could anticipate our needs all night! We felt so taken care of and honestly, she just felt like family all night. She was so so kind!

They made suggestions that would both make our day more special and sentimental as well as flow EASY. The days leading up, I had 0 worries about timelines, venders you name it. This service is a game changer!
Thank you so much for the creative ideas that made our wedding so special. The recommendations, professionalism, kindness + preciseness!
Everyone deserves to sit back and relax for their wedding events.

We are biased because Sara Sekeres from Graceful Events is the bride’s cousin, but she was fantastic executing our two-day wedding in July.
We did a small Indian wedding the firs...
t day and a big western wedding the second day. From start to finish, Sara was on the go nonstop bringing our vision to life and coordinating beautifully with our venue and vendors so that we could relax and enjoy the wedding of our dreams.
Her experience coordinating weddings was evident throughout the process. She set up the western wedding reception ballroom of our dreams with very little help and also did all the little things like helping family members when there were some minor wardrobe issues during dancing for the Indian wedding.
She recommended a fantastic DJ and had great suggestions, but was never overbearing and let us have full ownership of all the decisions.
Even when we were thrown curveballs during our wedding weekend, Sara was calm and professional and able to adapt at a moment’s notice, helping comfort us and setting the tone for all of our vendors and guests.
We highly recommend Graceful Events!

Honestly, I would not recommend Graceful Events to a friend. They have poor communication and poor attention to detail. At the reception, they did not use the plan/timeline we had ...
created, and many details went forgotten. I hired Graceful Events for the day-of details, and they went forgotten. This was after much frustration with their general responsiveness/basic communication. I do not enjoy writing a poor review, but it is important that other brides have the full picture going in. They had a few redeeming moments, but overall, not great.

I cannot say enough about how amazing Graceful Events was leading up to our wedding and on our wedding day. They handled everything so perfectly on our wedding day and even with a...
little hiccup they still were able to make everything all work. Special shout out to Kylie who went above and beyond making our day great and dealing with me and making my vision become a reality! You truly do it all including carrying my dress, making sure we have drinks, handling any issues without me knowing, & more. And a big thank you to Jaffe for showing up on our wedding day making sure everything ran smoothly and that it all worked out. Hiring Graceful Events was the best decision!

We hired Graceful Events for our day-of coordinator and were paired with Kylie Gardner two months before the wedding. Kylie was outstanding leading up to the wedding, and absolutel...
y irreplaceable the day of. She let me ask her so many questions and and was very responsive over both email and text. The day of, she set up everything so beautifully and truly made my vision come true. She checked in with me several times, just to see how I was doing and I was so grateful to have an objective ear in that moment. Kylie had an assistant, and her name escapes me, but she was very nice and efficient as well. I would definitely recommend Graceful Events and would request Kylie every time; I truly cannot say enough good things about her!

During our initial consultation with Jaffe, she called hiring a wedding coordinator “the gift you give yourselves on your wedding day” - she was absolutely correct! We had Angie as...
our day-of coordinator at the Riviera and she was incredible. From the moment we met, all of my anxiety melted away and I trusted Angie would go above and beyond to make sure our wedding day was everything we imagined. She was friendly, helpful, and pointed out last minute details we overlooked. And on the day of the wedding, I literally had nothing to worry about because I knew Angie was there to handle it all (even the things we didn’t know she took care of until the weeks following the wedding 😂). I can’t imagine my wedding day without her!

Sara was absolutely AMAZING. What an absolute gem. If you are on the fence about getting a wedding planner - you need one. Sara was worth absolutely every penny and went above and ...
beyond what we expected. She had so many great suggestions, was helpful in finding/booking vendors, and made the day go as smoothly as it could have. She really knows how to make a wedding flow and I don't know what we would have done without her. I want to have another big event just to have the opportunity to work with her again.

Kylie (our coordinator) was amazing. As a bride with a demanding job and a quick planning timeline, Kylie kept me on track, helped me know what I needed to plan and kept me from st...
ressing AT ALL the day off. She worked closely with the Abbey Resort coordinator and set up the room perfectly. I was told how relaxed we were the day of- it is simply because of Kylie.

Jaffe was incredible to work with leading up to the wedding, especially with all the extra work she did for me in the month ahead of the wedding with vendor coordination, booking n...
umerous rentals with other companies, and being a patient, go to source for all my last-minute questions and changes. Her response time was prompt, and she was always available when I needed to call on her for input or with a concern.
I couldn’t have imagined my actual wedding day without Jaffe present as onsite, day-of-coordinator. When I walked in the room after Jaffe and her team spent the day setting up, everything was flawless and everything I hoped the space would be. Jaffe and her team went above and beyond throughout the event coordinating various logistics between vendors, making sure the timeline was followed, and even went out of her way to make sure a platter of appetizers, desserts and drinks were available for us at various times throughout the night knowing all the directions my husband and I were being pulled in. She even brought toys to help the youngest kids in my wedding party cooperate. Aside from making sure the wedding overall was running smoothly, all of these personal gestures were all so thoughtful and appreciated.

My husband and I hired Graceful Events for our wedding and we were paired with Sara Sekeres. At first my husband was questioning why we needed a planner, but after our first meetin...
g with Sara it was apparent she was going to make our vision come true and our wedding day perfect. Sara is very kind, personable, honest, pays great attention to detail, listens, offers great advice, is professional, and very organized. She was always available for any tiny question we had, no matter the time of day. She was the main point of contact for our vendors and made sure everyone was on the same page so our day ran smoothly. On our wedding day, Sara ensured that everything was well taken care of and that I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Our family was so impressed with Sara and her hard work, and they could not stop raving about how amazing she is. Hiring Graceful Events was the best decision we could have made for our wedding and we truly cannot thank Sara enough for making our wedding day so perfect for us. I cannot wait until I have another event to throw so I can work with Sara and her team.

d up select vendors, put our vision into a design board, and then execute on it. No detail was forgotten and there wasn’t a moment on our big day where I felt stressed- Jenna truly handled it all like a pro. I cannot recommend Graceful Events enough!!

ator, Katie, was absolutely amazing! She made the day completely stress free for us and made the venue look stunning. We had so many compliments about everything and we could not have done it with Katie and her assistant Lauren. We booked with them about 2 months out from our wedding, and again best decision we could have made. Thank you all for everything and making our day completely perfect!
