Amazing and supportive

Wedding planning is a crazy experience and my now wife and I hired Autumn and Darla to do month/day-of coordination of our wedding. They were AMAZING. Early on they were available to give ideas, feedback, and suggest vendors which we were arranging ourselves early on, as the wedding approached the had a great wedding portal and some checklists that kept us on track and made sure we had the right details lined up, then on the wedding day they coordinated the hell out of the wedding and everything was LITERALLY PERFECT. We started on time, there was a sense of order and flow, and, best of all, my wife and I actually ENJOYED our day. Literally the best day of our lives. Beyond being great professionals, they are great to work with on a personal level. Calm, warm, supportive, reassuring. 11/10 would recommend a friend.

We highly recommend Grace & Lace for your big day!

We booked Grace & Lace for our November wedding in Richmond, VA. We opted for the Day of Coordination package but their assistance went beyond day of for sure. We really appreciated how Autumn and Darla reached out to us through out the planning process to help us keep on track with everything. They were able to join us on site for our venue walkthrough and through their experience were able to make suggestions to us about the logistics, timing, and general set up that were super helpful! They especially shined on our wedding day and were the reason it went so smoothly, thinking on their feet to make adjustments when necessary, kept us fed, and we were able to simply enjoy the day. Our guests had a great time as well! We highly recommend this awesome duo for your big event!! You'll be in the best hands.

The Best Wedding Planning Duo!!!

Autumn and Darla went above and beyond for our wedding on 10/16/2021! Autumn and Darla took total control on my wedding day and I was able to fully enjoy the day from start to finish. They were extremely responsive to calls and texts leading up to the wedding and really helped tie the loose ends for things I had not even thought about. They are so kind, genuine, and truly care about making your wedding day flawless! We cannot recommend them enough!!
