ABOUT US
Oh, you want to know a little about us?

here's what we're all about!
HEY HEY HEY
Out with the old , stuffy and traditions to do “just because we have to” and IN with all the things that scream, “THIS IS SO YOU!” We’re enthralled with the little details and design that tell the narrative of your story, the selection of vendors that share your vision, and the harmonious planning of your day.
The Grit and Grace team are experts on captivating your vision and coming alongside you to bring it to life!
You want more time for photos during cocktail hour? We’re on it. You need insight on where to start when it comes to finding the best vendors, who match your budget and style? We’ll send it right over! You want to incorporate disco balls in your table top decor? Yes and AMEN.
hey i'm claire!
I plan weddings for ONE reason. I believe that you deserve to be celebrated big, bold and preferably with a bumpin' dance floor! I stop on the street all too often when the design of a product or architecture of a building catches my eye because I believe thoughtful design can transform a space + atmosphere. Details are my middle name (Well, not really, but you know) and I am fascinated with finding a way for your wedding to be nostalgic, warm, intentional to who YOU are, dynamic + full of joy.
By the time it’s wedding day, you best bet I will be showing up as your friend and cheerleader, not just another vendor.
