Scout and Grace Events

e / moving parts - and Haylee brought our vision to life even better than we even imagined, "leveling-up" our setups at both locations. She took all of the anxiety out of the week leading up to the wedding, the rehearsal, and of course the day-of - keeping things organized, on time, and FUN for us and our guests. She also created space for us to have a few quiet / private moments throughout the night which was really special. We are so grateful!!

reativity were exceptional. She listened to our vision and turned it into a breathtaking reality, providing valuable guidance throughout the process. On the big day, Miriam and her team executed flawlessly, ensuring every detail was perfect. We highly recommend Scout and Grace, and specifically Miriam, for anyone seeking a dedicated and talented wedding planner who will turn dreams into reality.

and her team were on their A game. It was the perfect day but were a series of mishaps on our special day that Miriam took care of right away - she completely took the stress off my husband and I and handled everything like the BOSS woman that she is. One big example was my husband and I used a catering service and a design service, and somehow, my husband and I forgot to order linen napkins from either service! It fell between the cracks. We didn’t realize this until like 2 hours before the wedding but Miriam somehow got us 350 linens before the ceremony. Can’t tell you how eternally grateful I am for this woman and her team.

board when things became overwhelming. A resource for everyone in the wedding party to go to for assistance on the wedding day. Miriam and her team became part of the wedding. My daughter and could not have done it without Scout and Grace.

answer questions and calm nerves. She made budget friendly recommendations that allowed us to chose the venue, photographer, bakery, dress, flowers, and caterer with ease. From start to finish (we left the venue before she did) she handled everything!! Miriam was the coordinator and director of a wedding more beautiful that we could have ever done on our own. All handled with a smile, an air of confidence, and beautiful demeanor that calmed any worries we may have had. I am grateful that my daughter followed her instinct on this decision to hire a planner. Miriam Ackerman is truly amazing at planning an event that fits your budget, your style and exceeds your expectations.

some, and had no idea what kind of budget was necessary. We considered a planner at times but we were scared of the idea and what it would cost. However, with 9 months to go until our wedding and nothing planned, we decided to take the leap with Scout & Grace and purchase the full wedding planning service package. From the moment we first spoke to Miriam we felt a weight being lifted off our shoulders. Throughout the entire process she was supportive, encouraging, organized, trustworthy, determined, and such a kind person. Miriam will become your instant best friend and manages to take on all your stresses with such grace. You’re randomly stressed about plate arrangements? She’s got it. You need an honest opinion on if you should spend money on a specific item? She will provide it. You want a specific vendors service but not for that price? Don’t worry, she’s got a list. She knows anything and everything about wedding planning and will take such good care of her brides. My wedding day went beyond PERFECT - people are still continuing to talk about how fun, beautiful, and organized it was. I wouldn’t have survived the wedding planning process and wedding day without Miriam, and I highly recommend any bride to utilize her. You won’t regret it.

y. We are so thankful that Miriam was apart of our wedding - if we had to do it all over she would be the first person I call!

. She is a professional at what she does . Thank you Miriam Scout and Grace for a lovely , stress free wedding planning process and a beautiful wedding day .. we could not have been more pleased !

er vendors mentioned how much they loved them as well. They were down to earth and not at all bossy. They felt like our support system - rather than a superior. Our choice to hire Scout and Grace was one of the best decisions of the whole Wedding!

to finish while I felt like I could just relax and enjoy myself. From coordinating with all of the other vendors, to setting up the wedding decor and answering all of my many questions, Miriam was a huge help. She was quick to respond to my emails and extremely knowledgable. Very personable, patient and easy to get along with. Everyone loved her and she made my day easy!!! We would highly recommend her and her team!

the wedding, anytime I wondered/asked if something was done or needed to be done, the answer was always “yes”! Miriam and Hailey were always so calm, comforting, reassuring and knowledgeable. Everything was set up exactly to our wishes and broken down and packed up at the end in record time! They took charge of all the “behind the scenes” details, coordinating the band, the florist, the ceremony, caterer, and the reception so we could relax and enjoy the special day.

ding of our dreams. On our wedding day Miriam made sure everyone was in place and the wedding went off without a hitch. I had several people comment on how wonderful the wedding was and how great the planner managed the event. The day of the wedding we also had an assistant of Scout and Grace Events and she was also very helpful. As the bride, I did not have one issue to solve the day of and if anything did go wrong .... well I never heard about it! Thank you so much Scout and Grace Events for really making our day perfect!

e the wedding before he had signed the marriage license. Good thing she caught him and brought him in to sign the license! She directed my wedding party and parents at our rehearsal like a good teacher would do- instructing us on pacing, how to hold our flowers, etc... Now anytime I can give my friends wedding advice: my biggest piece is not to skip out on a wedding coordinator. Miriam was crucial to our wedding day running smoothly.

t feel an ounce of stress on my wedding day because Miriam had everything under control and that is exactly what every bride deserves.

o happy we decided to take the leap to go with a planner!

e would recommend Miriam 100000000x over again. She is amazing at what she does and ensure that the Bride and Groom are the top priority-- no one else! We love you, Miriam!

h my own wedding (and at every event I’ve seen her) Miriam and her team have been punctual, professional, and definitely someone you want on your team for the most important day of your life! I did not realize how quickly our wedding day would fly by (I know that’s what everyone says!) and without Miriam we would have definitely not kept to our schedule. I’m so glad she was there to help keep everything on track. On our wedding day she made several decisions last minute regarding our reception which I was not available to make. Because of our previous meetings she was able to understand my fiancé and my priorities and made decisions based on what we would want (which she did perfectly!). I’m 100% sure she took care of far more little things than I’ll ever be aware of (and no couple should have to be aware of on their wedding day!) If you do not have a planner I highly recommend getting one and Scout and Grace is the way to go!

ackage. We went with Miriam because she was kind, professional, completely understanding of what we were looking for, and reasonably priced. She took the reigns and handled everything from there on out which included hiring 3 more vendors, organizing everyone together, and reminding me of the little things left to do. She had reminders automated for us, a handy website that tracked everything, and was available to us whenever we needed via email text or call! The day of the wedding, Miriam and her assistant Ashley made the day flow absolutely seamlessly. They thought of e v e r y t h i n g and I had to worry about nothing. It felt so nice that the stress was off our shoulders for the day and everything fell into place due to the planning and coordination of Miriam with all our vendors. I would recommend Miriam a million times over and to every soon-to-be bride in the area! Don't put it all on yourself, let Miriam help you!

hey were all out of my budget & didn’t seem to click well for me. Then I found, Scout & Grace. I spoke with Miriam via zoom and she immediately made me feel reassured about our wedding. After bouncing ideas around her for the next couple months and then seeing her get everyone on topic and organized at the rehearsal dinner, I felt so relieved on our wedding day that everything was handled. She took away so much of my stress from the time that I booked her, until the end of our wedding night. When I say that our wedding day went perfectly, I mean it! No major hiccups and everything ran smoothly. Not only is Miriam a sweetheart, but she is organized, focused, timely, and so much fun to be around! I couldn’t have asked for anyone better and I know that she worked so hard to make our day as perfect as it was. Thank you Miriam!!!!

I wanted my wedding to look, but I needed someone to coordinate the details and keep me sane. Miriam did all of that and more, and she did it with professionalism, grace, and kindness. She was there for me when we had Plan A, Plan B, and Plan C. She had my back when I was being picky about the plates I wanted, when I had to switch venues a month and half before my wedding, when my original photographer was hospitalized with Covid-19 a week before my wedding (she called every photographer she could think of to find a replacement (the replacement she found was amazing too – see my review of William Avery Photography)). On the day of my wedding, she brought my vision together beautifully. As someone who works a demanding job, I needed someone sharp, capable, and responsive. Miriam was all three, plus she is kind, passionate about her career, and empathetic to boot. You cannot go wrong with her services.

frustrated with planning anything else (keep in mind I had not done much at all at this point) that I knew I had to have a wedding planner. I sent a quick message to Miriam Ackerman with Scout and Grace and was SO BLESSED that she had availability on my big day. She was super responsive and so easy to talk to, but without being in your face and over bearing. She just seemed so genuine and so good at what she does. She was the perfect balance I needed. So we finalized stuff and she got to work immediately. My stressful wedding planning life calmed down a ton! She was full of recommendations when I didn’t know where to look or what to say next, she was comforting and a great listener in stressful times, and a fun encourager during the happy times. Miriam made tasks I dreaded exciting and something to look forward to. She is more than just a wedding planner, she is now part of my family and a true friend! I can not recommend Scout and Grace Events enough! They went above and beyond to make my big day perfect. Everything I pictured in my head Miriam brought to life. She has even kept touch post wedding and helped me preserve my bouquet at the last minute! If you want your wedding vision to come to life perfectly, your wedding day to run smoothly, and to make a friend to drink wine with you need to hire Scout and Grace! I can’t imagine not having Miriam as part of my big day. Without her expertise behind the scenes there is no way I would still be getting compliments on how great my wedding was! I cannot stress enough the importance of having a GREAT wedding planner! Worth every penny.

race.

party ever. My wedding day was perfect, my husband and I were able to enjoy our special day. We even hired her to help us years later with my sons first birthday.

tc). She is knowledgeable, patient, friendly, and you can tell she truly enjoys every aspect of event planning. I was able to truly live in the moment and enjoy my day with zero stress! My husband and I are so happy Miriam planned our event and would 1000% recommend her to anyone!
