    Dorothy went above and beyond for us throughout our wedding planning process. We went into the process almost questioning whether we needed a day of coordinator, only to realize how lost we would have been without Dorothy and Emerald Grace. She listened to what was important to us and then executed. She had our back with every vendor, and really pushed to fix what could have been a big day of issue. It was clear from day one how much she cares, and we are so happy we chose Emerald Grace as our planner!

    Working with Dorothy was truly one of the greatest blessings of our entire wedding experience. From the very beginning, she was so much more than a planner—she was a steady, thoughtful, and genuinely caring presence throughout the entire process. She has an incredible ability to not only execute a vision flawlessly, but to truly understand what matters most to you and bring it to life in a way that feels effortless and deeply personal. Because of Dorothy, I was able to be fully present on our wedding day and soak in every single moment, knowing everything was being handled with such care and intention. Our wedding was everything I had dreamed of and more, and that is completely because of her. Every detail was seamless, beautiful, and so thoughtfully curated. What makes Dorothy even more special is the heart she brings to what she does. You can feel how much she truly cares—not just about the event, but about the people. That kind of authenticity is rare, and it made our experience with her so meaningful.

    MAYA!!! Thank you so much for this, it honestly means more to me than I can put into words. Being a part of your wedding was so incredibly special to me, and I feel so grateful that you trusted me every step of the way. From the very beginning, I just wanted everything to feel like you, and getting to bring your vision to life in such a personal and meaningful way was truly the best part. Seeing you so calm, present, and genuinely soaking in every moment of your day is something I’ll never forget. That’s always my biggest hope for my couples, and it meant everything to watch that come to life for you. You and your entire experience will always hold such a special place in my heart. This was so much more than just a wedding to me. Thank you again for your trust, your kindness, and for taking the time to share this it truly means everything!!!

    Dorothy is such an incredibly skilled wedding planner and we would highly recommend working with her company Emerald Grace! They recently planned our wedding at the Sanctuary and it turned out PERFECT. There is so much that goes into being a high quality planner and several factors that make Emerald Grace standout. We appreciated the lead planner's work ethic, her proactivity and responsiveness, her friendly and thoughtful communication style, her ability to balance a million details yet make things easy for us, her design taste, and the amount of thought and energy she and her team personally invested in our event. Most of all, she really listened, understood the things that were important to us and incorporated them into the vision. If you are looking for an event planner that will go above and beyond, Emerald Grace is the absolute best!

You trusted me with everything and truly allowed me to take the lead, and that is honestly a wedding planner’s dream. That level of trust is something I never take lightly, and I’m so grateful for it. You and your family are so special to me, I think about you all often. I absolutely loved how intimate your wedding felt and the genuine bond shared between everyone there. It was such a beautiful, meaningful day in every way. Thank you again for trusting me and allowing me and my team to be part of something so special. It meant more than you know.
