We decided to get married here in Charlotte, NC --- it sounded GREAT, until we realized we had no family close enough to help us with the planning!!!! After doing some research on my own, I decided we needed a wedding planner that was familiar with the area and had insight into what the local vendors had to offer. Choosing The Graceful Host (TGH) was the best decision we could have made. After inquiring about more information, Ashley contacted me immediately by phone and we had a meeting set up for 2 days later. At our very first meeting she came prepared with 5 different venue options based upon our phone conversation! She answered all of our questions promptly and listened to our concerns; she was by our sides through every step of the wedding planning process. The vendors that she works with are the BEST in Charlotte and everyone was wonderful. When we walked into the reception space we were absolutely floored! The room looked better than we could ever have imagined. Ashley is professional, organized and most importantly so much fun to work with! It really felt like we were working with a close friend. Ashley with TGH really did make our fairy tale wedding come to life! Thanks Ashley!

I met with several vendors to handle my day of wedding coordination, and my mother and I knew immediately upon meeting Heather that she was the one! She always had a prompt response to my million questions, offered valuable (and money saving) advice, and the final product definitely exceeded expectations. She & Ashley were able to take my vision (particularly on the New Year's Eve favor table and candy buffet) and execute absolutely perfectly - Both were such a big hit with my guests! The patience and knowledge that were very apparent during the rehearsal made for a flawless wedding day, and knowing that these ladies were there to make sure everything ran smoothly definitely let me focus on enjoying the moment. It was a pleasure to work with The Graceful Host!

We loved working with Ashley and Heather of the graceful host! From helping us with design ideas to completely managing the set up, flow and break down of our wedding day, they were both amazing to work with and exceeding all our expectations. They were able to take all of my half formed ideas and put them together with their own wonderful ideas and large quantities of talent to make our dream wedding day a reality. We could not have done it without them!

From the very beginning stages of planning, I knew The Graceful Host was the best choice and partner for me! Heather was able to understand my vision for the perfect wedding day, and the results were more than I could have even dreamed of! She and her staff were so easy to work with and really did take care of every detail. Leading up to my wedding day, many people in my life commented on how calm I was in the midst of one of the biggest days of my life, I can credit that calmness to knowing I was marrying my best friend, and working with The Graceful Host!! I could not imagine my wedding expereience without Heather and her team. Thanks so much for helping to make it the best day of Brad's and my life!! I highly recommend The Graceful Host and will certainly use the services again for our next big life event!! TOP NOTCH!!

Heather created a custom plan for my wedding, she did the design and day of coordination for my event. In the planning I was most worried about the look of the venue and bringing all the different elements of day together, especially since I was planning from a different state. Heather did all of this fabulously!
Heather did the floor plan, picked the linens and lighting, organized and contacted all the vendors, introduced me to a fabulous florist, managed the timeline, took over all the planning 2 weeks out, and took care of all our gifts and supplies at the reception. We had an initial consultation, where off the bat she had great ideas for the venue. She also met with us at the venue to walk through the floor plan and do mock up centerpieces with the linens. As a visual person, this is exactly what I needed. She had relationships with the other vendors I used which was a great comfort.
Heather pulled together the look and feel I was going for without blinking an eye. She had a great vision and pulled it through, with some extra fun and surprises throw in! She was comforting but straight forward and honest. Heather worked within our budget and her day of assistants were just as amazing as she is. I couldn't have done this without her! She did way more than I expected a wedding coordinator to do and couldn't believe how much she had under control!

Hired Heather for day- of coordination....but if I could do it again, I would hire her to plan the entire wedding! Great value.....integral to how smoothly the day went.

Having the Graceful Host plan my wedding was ultimately the best decision I made. It was an experience I will always cherish. Heather is talented, creative, inspiring, thoughtful, professional, and such a wonderful person. Every element of the wedding came forth better than I could have imagined, and it was because her focus was on making my husband and I have a day that was stress free. Even our guests were in awe at how beautiful everything turned out. We could not have done it without Heather! I wish I had something else to plan right now just so I could work with her again!!! If you are seeking a wedding planner, the Graceful Host comes highly recommended. Any other choice and you have just done yourself a disservice.

What a fantastic company. Working with The Graceful Host made our wedding a breeze. The Graceful Host understood our vision from the very beginning and took the stress out of making it a reality! I wouldn't have survived our wedding day without Heather and her team. My husband and I didn't have to worry with the last minute details, the hassles of set up, coordinating vendors, and dealing with overbearing family members :) I can honestly say The Graceful Host was the best idea we had. We wouldn't have been able to enjoy our wedding day as much without her there!

The Graceful Host made our wedding planning experience fun, easy, and stress free. The amount of time Heather saved us by finding the best vendors was worth every penny...but that didn't compare to the role she played on our wedding day. She was prepared for anything and always 10 steps ahead. She gave us tips on proper wedding etiquette, kept us calm, and made sure everything ran smoothly. Our wedding day turned out better than we ever could have imagined thanks to Heather and her amazing team!!!

The Graceful Host was FABULOUS! I am so happy I decided to use this group. Planning a wedding 2000+ miles from the wedding site is pretty stressful, but Heather from The Graceful Host took over everything and put me at ease. She instantly got what I was saying with my ideas and turned them into something much better than I ever imagined! Since the wedding I have received several compliments from friends and family members saying that it was such a unique and beautiful wedding and that they couldn't have imagined anything to make it better. I highly recommend The Graceful Host if you are looking for a planner who is passionate about their job, detail oriented and great fun to work with.

The Graceful Host was great. Heather is amazing. I enjoyed my wedding with out a worry or concern because I knew she was on top of things for me!
Ashley and her team are pros in the truest sense of the word. Ashley's attention to detail is amazing and her ability to transform a wedding space from boring to spectacular is what separates her from her competition. If you're looking for someone who can make your wedding day a perfectly gorgeous affair, look no further than The Graceful Host.
