Juniper & Lace Events

ife and I want to give them the strongest possible recommendation because we are so truly grateful to them. (Also, we are real people; if you go to their Instagram, we’re the picture of the cake with foxes on it at the Leelanau School.) We hired J&L in the fall of 2018 for our June, 2019 wedding. Over that time, Stacy learned our tastes and personalities, walked us through every step, and constantly kept us on-schedule and on-budget, even though we live out of state. She must have spent hundreds of hours working on our wedding (or she is a wizard). For example, my email account shows 165 email threads on which Stacy is included, many of which have several emails of multiple paragraphs back-and-forth going over details big and small. In addition, we probably had at least 20 phone calls with Stacy, many of which were several hours long. Beyond that, she did site-visits, set up contracts and meetings with vendors, and basically anything and everything that needed to be done. I know she had other weddings to plan, but she always made us feel like we were her #1 priority. All of that hard work, combined with Stacy’s impeccable taste, great relationships with venues and vendors, and years of experience, transformed our abstract ideas into a beautiful, fun, STRESS-FREE day. She had tremendous creativity to help us plan original and personalized features. For example, our ceremony was located on a part of the property on which that venue had never before held a ceremony. As another example, immediately after we walked down the aisle, my wife and I canoed away from the ceremony. My wife and I are both busy professionals. Stacy respected that there were times where we couldn’t work on the wedding for a week or two at a time, or for example, that we could only chat after 5pm. She was unbelievably accommodating and worked with us around our schedules. Stacy is easy-going, kind, and funny. We legitimately miss chatting with her. Moreover, she runs her business with integrity. For example, early on in the process, but after she had put in many hours of work, it seemed as if the venue that we really wanted only had available dates on which Stacy was already booked. Stacy without hesitation told us that, if this turned out to be the case, she would refund us our money for us to hire another wedding planner, rather than force us to book a second-choice venue. Luckily, we found a date on which Stacy and this first-choice venue were both available. Again, my wife and I could not have been happier with J&L.

ch. Stacy was there for us at all times and made sure everything was orchestrated perfectly! Stacy surpassed our wildest expectations and always did so in a friendly and calm manner! Please take our advice and let Stacy plan your wedding! Stacy is fantastic!

we were her only couple at all times, even though she has a full roster of weddings to plan. She also went out of her way to answer every question about vendors and other wedding details, even if they weren’t necessarily included in our package. She truly went above and beyond and we would have been lost without her.

months or so to plan my dream wedding. I reached out to Stacy and within the first five minutes of our conversation, I knew she was the one to make the impossible possible! I had extremely high standards, a vision filled with things I was told were impossible to do in Northern Michigan, and very little time to spare. Stacy and her team went above and beyond to make my wedding dreams come true, and she did so with grace, patience, and fearlessness. She immediately put together a plan, vision board, vendors, and worked tirelessly to make sure every last romantically elegant detail was attended to. I really don’t think she sleeps, because she answered every email or call at any hour of the day or night! She quickly grew into a friend, and was the ideal person to have by my side on one of the most special days of my life. She made me feel comfortable, confident, calm, and somehow managed to set up an entire outdoor wedding dinner for 100 (complete with chandeliers, florals, and those perfect pink goblets) during cocktail hour! I can’t recommend Stacy and her team enough, and I am so very fortunate to have met and worked with her. She is truly the best in the business (and bonus, her pricing is incredibly reasonable too)!

ed budgets... Stacy amazed us with her ability to balance all of our high expectations. She made complicated logistics stress free and easy. We wanted to make the night full of amazing moments. She coordinated firework permits, helped us procure flatware and plates from 500 miles away, found ways for us to cut costs in linen, worked the dynamics of a strict parish, organized our inventory of weddng supplies, ensured our timeline down to the minute. She always remained professional while providing the support and positivity needed. We had six events over 48 hours, and six months later I am still hearing from family and friends about how they wish we could repeat the weekend! The weekend could not have happened with out her, her team, and her perpetual patience! Thank you Stacy!

ordinator, but especially glad that we decided to hire Juniper & Lace! Right from the first email and phone call with Stacy, I already felt so relaxed! We were from down state so it was so amazing having Stacy and Emily up in TC where we couldn’t be all the time. After our first group meeting with our venue coordinator, Stacy, Emily, my husband, and myself, I knew that this was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding and it was going to be worth every penny! They thought of things that I would never have dreamed of, and that was after lots of research on my end! They went through a timeline that worked for us and gave lots of advice but really cared about how we wanted our day to go. My phones calls, emails, and text messages were always met with excitement and quick responses! My wedding weekend could not have been more perfect! It was magical, dreamy, fun, and very much a fairy tale come to life! I give that credit to Emily! Emily was our saving grace that weekend and made our weekend and day that much more special! She took care of everything and constantly made sure that both my husband and I had everything we needed! Words cannot express how appreciative I am to have had Emily as part of our special day! She made me feel so relaxed the whole time and not worry about a thing! If problems arose, I never knew about it because she was so quick to take care of everything! I will always look back on our special day and know that it was that much better because of Emily and for that I will be forever grateful! I will feel forever blessed to have met and worked with Stacy and Emily! Our special day/weekend truly would not have been the same without them! The biggest thank you to Emily, Stacy, and the rest of the team at Juniper & Lace!

very detail planned out. The day was flawless and smooth. We had location changes from the ceremony to the reception to photos in the middle of the street, to the beach overlooking the lighthouse. Location changes can be so challenging and it was handled with ease. I cannot day enough great things about Juniper and Lace Events. I can promise that your event will be so well thought out that you can take a step back and enjoy your moments as bride, groom or guest. Cheers Stacy, to you and your team.

I knew immediately that Juniper and Lace was the right fit. I had a vision that Stacy brought to life in inspiring fashion through drawing boards, conference calls, text messages and hundreds of email exchanges — all of which were greeted with equal enthusiasm. Stacy’s relationship with the most magnificent vendors, expertise and passion for all things event related and willingness to face each obstacle with unwavering determination made our day more perfect than one could imagine. Juniper and Lace Events, I adore you and would recommend you time and time again!

d to our every need/concern and created an individualized wedding for us. She always took our budget into consideration, and helped us create a wedding experience that was authentic to my husband and I. Stacy and her team went above and beyond to answer every email/question in a speedy manner, and she was extremely flexible with all of our wants/needs/etc. Aside from her incredible talent and professionalism, Stacy has the most warm, kind personality. She became a friend to me, and I can honestly say that I will miss working with her! To all of the Juniper and Lace ladies (and to Stacy’s husband, Kevin!) - thank you for everything that you did to create the most perfect wedding for us. We appreciate all of your hard work and enthusiasm! -K&K

uld have packed Miss Stacy up to bring back to Texas with us I would have!! I highly highly highly recommend Stacy with Juniper and Lace - you will be very impressed and not have to worry about one small detail because you can feel confident she has it ALL under control!! On top of being so very reliable and hard working she is just a doll; sweet, friendly, and very calming....... Wish I could have had her as the wedding coordinator for ALL my children's weddings!

g the wedding from a few states away. She was always on top of everything, from flowers to rentals. I felt so comfortable knowing that Stacy had everything under control, and I could just relax and enjoy my wedding day. We really depended on her to help us choose vendors, and she was spot on. Everything was PERFECT, all thanks to our AMAZING coordinator! I was one happy bride :)

sband and I had no intention of hiring a wedding coordinator - we were SO foolish! We quickly realized that we needed someone on the ground, well connected and able to take care of all the things we couldn't from far away. Little did we know that hiring Stacy would not only accomplish that, but she would take our haphazard vision for our day and turn it into something so perfect it can only be described as magical. She went above and beyond what you expect when you hire a coordinator. She fixed my bustle when it broke, she sprinted across the venue for a new champagne bottle when there was a sabering mishap, and she even built a fire on the beach after our reception. We can't list everything here, but trust me - above and beyond. We didn't have the opportunity to meet Stacy until just about one month before the wedding, and once we did it felt like she had been in our lives forever. You know it's good when you feel like you gained a friend - my parents were equally as obsessed. We could not be more grateful for her and we are honored that she was the captain of our dream team. If you're considering a coordinator, don't hesitate to scoop Stacy up - I promise you won't regret it!

tely no way that we could have done it without Stacy and her team. Because of them, we were able to relax and enjoy the entire weekend. We thought we were pretty organized, but Stacy thought of details that we never would have thought of. She knew all the local vendors and had great suggestions on where to go when I didn't know where to start. She went above and beyond in every way from helping us figure out the right placement for the portable restrooms, to helping with flower arrangements, to lugging signs back and forth from our home to the place where guests were saying. And through it all, she was always smiling, always supportive, always professional, and always kind. Everyone who contributed to the wedding fell in love with her including us. It's so clear that she has found her calling + craft. Highly highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to get married!

t of things I wouldn't have thought of, and kept everyone and the entire day in order. She ran errands for me that I wasn't able to do. She made sure we were happy with everything. She helped with the rehearsal (it was our officiants first wedding!) I could go on and on. I really felt I could be in the moment and enjoy our wedding day. Everyone in our wedding party keeps saying how incredible she was! 10000% recommend her to anyone planning a wedding in Northern Michigan!!

nths) for planning. Having Stacy there to take care of all of the details eliminated so much pressure and allowed time for me to be involved in the things I loved most about the planning process. Stacy is so organized and her attention to detail is stellar and on top of that, she helped lead me to the most amazing team of other vendors that I never would found on my own. From our wedding venue to our photographer and the beautiful glassware on the tables, she was key in pulling together an awesome team. What we heard most from other people while planning our wedding was that, after all the planning, the wedding feels like it's over before you know it. I truly didn't feel that way. I felt like we got to soak in every moment of our wedding weekend and the months leading up to it and that I got to actually see every little detail that we worked so hard to put together. I know without a doubt that this was all because Stacy was working so hard to take care of the million other details that would have distracted us from the joy of the day had she not been there. We can't thank her enough! xo Melissa & Daniel

have asked for. Both she and Emily went above and beyond to make our wedding day exceptional. I would highly recommend Juniper & Lace Events to anyone looking for the perfect northern Michigan wedding coordinator!

d to be part of the entire planning process! I was so thankful for her organization, proactiveness, connections to vendors in the area, kind and genuine care for how our day would come together. And then day-of came and it was everything we had imagined and more. It was such a relaxing day because she had everything planned to the last second, added in special surprises and décor choices we loved and I think that's the most you can ask for as a bride. She made our wedding party and entire family feel at ease. We were truly lucky to have her and I'd highly recommend to any bride-to-be!

planning process. From our first meeting, Stacy immediately put me at ease, listening to all my concerns. She was incredibly flexible with our busy schedules and never got frustrated if we took a while to respond to emails. If I was unsure about a decision, she would arrange to get on the phone with us whenever we found it convenient. She had fantastic recommendations on vendors and great lines of communication with them so that we were able to get what we needed smoothly and quickly. She picked things up from multiple vendors wedding weekend and went out of her way to do extra things like make golf reservations for the groomsmen and sew together our cocktail linens. Instead of being stressed out on our wedding day, I was remarkably calm and able to enjoy every moment because I knew Stacy had thought of everything and would handle anything that came up. Our wedding day was perfect because of Stacy, and I’m so happy I can look back at it and not wish to change a thing.

"day of" coordination. When we realized we forgot to order something two days before the wedding, Stacy took care of it immediately. She handled all of our local printing (menus, place cards, programs, etc) and took the initiative to proof everything before sign-off. She also handled all of the setup and cleanup for our rehearsal dinner. And so much more!!! She was organized and responsive, and is genuinely a wonderful person that I now call my friend. As someone who is very detail-oriented, it was comforting to be able to trust her judgement and decision making on our special day. Simply stated, she was the key to making our weekend an unforgettable experience for everyone.

such a friendly and well-meaning manner. She is professional, and detail-oriented, and she not only brought my event to life but she made it better than I ever could have dreamed it could be. No detail was left undone, and she made everything so simple and wonderful. I didn't worry about a thing the weekend of our wedding, and it all went off without a hitch. Stacy is incredible!

ng planner, ever. She made our wedding weekend more perfect than we could have ever dreamed. Stacy diligently made sure that not a single detail was left undone. She made amazing things happen for us; from finding hop flowers in June for the groomsmen's boutonnieres to coordinating babysitters for our reception, to picking up cigars and scotch, transporting rented items to and from their rightful owners and worked so thoughtfully with our vendors to set up a wedding reception and day-after brunch that completely blew us away. We don't live in Traverse City so having her there locally with her amazing and joyful attitude made everything so enjoyable to plan. Having Stacy with us along our wedding journey was the best decision we've ever made. Not only did she help us have the wedding of our dreams but we also gained a new best friend in the process. We miss Stacy so much now that our wedding is over but now feel so incredibly blessed to call her a friend. We can't recommend Stacy and Juniper and Lace Events highly enough. We encourage you to work with her to make your perfect Traverse City wedding come to life. She's truly the best. <3

ht of all the details we would have otherwise missed (like a microphone for the minister who was performing our ceremony in front of large fountains, and countless other important details). Our venue raved about how wonderful Stacy was to work with as a planner. She answered any questions we had timely and thoroughly. Her follow up was impeccable. I am a very organized person and found myself completely free to hand over one of the most important days of my life to Stacy without a second thought. I can't recommend her highly enough. She is incredible to work with...so competent, so detailed, so thoughtful. We are forever thankful for her help!

s away with how great she was. She did WAY more than I expected from just a "day-of-coordinator". She stepped in two weeks before the wedding and took over all of the stressful last minute details with vendors, which allowed my mom and I to just relax and enjoy the events. She was calm the entire weekend, despite last minute weather changes, and I trusted her completely to make decisions on my behalf. She truly was phenomenal! Look no further if you are in the Michigan area! She is great!

at great prices, coordinate day-of, and bring our vision to life!! Our wedding was absolutely everything we wanted and more and it certainly was in large part to Stacy's hard work and dedication.

lying ideas and solutions to wedding day logistics. She picked up on our style and definitely helped us see our vision come to life. She helped us pick the caterer, photographer, linens, etc. and worked with our friends who provided vendor services, like out florist and DJ, completely professionally and made sure it was a succesful event. She was willing to do whatever we needed to make the day go smoothly and have everything we wanted. We loved her!

you are not located in is very stressful but Stacy made the process quite simple. She never missed any details and was always thinking ahead to make sure we did not miss anything. Stacy was always willing to step in and speak with vendors to try and get us the best deal possible while still maintaining a great relationship with everyone. She has a great eye with details and it really showed on the day of our wedding. Her kind and calm demeanor made stressful times not all that stressful. I would highly recommend Stacy to any bride who wants a flawless event!
