    JANELLE + MICHAEL

  • I've worked with many planners for 20+ years, and Claire Roche of Grit and Grace Events has by far left an indelible mark in my experience. Claire is one of the most caring individuals, so much so, that her clients feel as though they're working with a family member and not someone they met for the sole purpose of planning their wedding. Claire's approach is fun, easy, and she's undeniably present. From a vendor's side, when Claire finds creatives who deliver services to her standard, her clients feel that sense of confidence and assurance, and in turn, their wedding is a symbiotic, well-coordinated event that's remembered forever. To say I would recommend Grit and Grace to a friend is an after-thought because I already have!

    Tanya, of Page Beauty

  • “Choosing Claire as our wedding planner was easily one of the best decisions we made for our special day! From the initial consultation to the final farewell, Claire exhibited professionalism, creativity, and a genuine passion for her craft that truly set her apart. Claire's organizational skills were impeccable. She effortlessly managed every detail, ensuring that nothing was overlooked. From coordinating vendors to creating a timeline that kept everything running smoothly, she handled it all with ease. Her attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the wedding. Her creativity was also a standout. [...] Claire listened attentively to our vision and brought it to life in ways we couldn't have imagined. [...] Overall, we cannot recommend Claire highly enough. Her passion for her work, combined with her expertise, ensured that our wedding day was absolutely perfect! She is truly the best of the best!”

Why Work With Grit & Grace

A lot of our clients consider us fast-friends, and friends are honest with one another. So, if it’s okay, we’d love extend the same friendliness to you.

Yes, hiring a Wedding Planner is an investment, and sometimes, people don’t see it as a necessity (we get it), but hear us out. While couples become brand new to this industry each day, we live and breathe it non-stop. We have nearly a decade of experience (8 years to be exact) in our back pocket. When you hire us – you get access that experience.

Our experience includes:

  • Knowing how to implement the most elaborate of visions while staying within budget (we’re creativity ninjas).

  • Helping you choose reputable vendors that will literally make your wedding day a dream because we’ve worked with them dozens of times.

  • Being able to work with and navigate any change of plan because things come up (and they will).

So, I guess the question becomes – what will it cost you not to hire a professional to plan your wedding? Big-spend mistakes? Settling for less? Confusion that will make you want to toss your plans out of the window and elope? Not with us. It’s better than you imaged with us.

FAQs

  • If you are looking for a more hands-on experience, while still getting the guidance and support form a wedding planner (who is still doing a large portion of the work!), partial planning allows you to plan your wedding with way less stress and confusion, while remaining involved.

    If you are looking for a more hands-off experience, are a busy couple and want a fully designed and cohesive day, full planning is for you. Full planning is perfect for the couple who are confident in trusting a professional to bring your day to life, and want to truly wow your guests, while not going through all the stress of doing it on your own.
