“The BEST part of my whole wedding!

Traci and team were super professional and determined. They hit it off with a great effort of their own design and they were spot on with our vision.
Everything was so well designed and well done.
Thank you again.”

“Traci and team planned every aspect of my wedding. They were incredible !
From assisting our guests with accommodations to dealing with all of the vendors, Traci managed it all flawlessly.
Even down to finding us the right baker for our beautiful cake, no detail was too small.
My husband and I would recommend Traci and her team for anyone looking for a first experience on your special day.”
— Sarah M. , married on 08/27/2022 5.0 -Sarasota wedding

“Traci, Thank you for all the help and support! Without you, it would’ve been all over the place. We know there were several annoying elements during the wedding, however we managed to pull through all that and have a fun time with everyone! Thanks for everything you’ve helped us with thus far!”
— Albin Thomas - groom from June 10, 2023 -The Knickerbocker Hotel Chicago

“If you want a perfect day, hire Traci!! We connected instantly. She knew exactly what I wanted, and what was needed. Traci started working on our wedding immediately. With little time she strive to give me as many options as possible. She had an answer to every single one of my questions. She thought of every single detail and help me ensure we would not miss anything for our big day. Our venue did not include any vendors. I was worried but Traci had it all handled. (Hair, makeup, photographer, caterer, cake, Photo Booth, DJ, ect) and did an amazing job, telling them where to set up. Her team is amazing and did not have to contact me the day of. I can’t imagine what my wedding day would have been like with out Traci.”

“I can’t express enough how incredible Graceful Wedding and Events was in making our wedding day absolutely perfect! From the very beginning, she went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was meticulously planned and executed flawlessly. Pre-Wedding Planning: Traci was a dream to work with during the planning stages. Her attention to detail was nothing short of extraordinary. She took the time to understand our vision, preferences, and even our quirks, and transformed them into a cohesive and beautiful plan. Her vendor recommendations were spot-on, and her organizational skills kept everything running smoothly. What truly set her apart was her ability to anticipate potential issues and address them before they became problems. She made the planning process enjoyable and stress-free, allowing us to focus on the joy of getting married. Rehearsal: The rehearsal was a testament to her dedication and expertise. Traci and Rayika ensured that everything was perfectly coordinated and that every participant knew their role. Their calm and reassuring presence put everyone at ease, and their clear instructions made the rehearsal run seamlessly. It was clear that Traci had thought of every detail, which made us feel confident and excited for the big day. On the Wedding Day: On our wedding day, Traci, Rayika, and Desiree did an exceptional job. They managed everything with grace and efficiency, allowing us to savor every moment without a hint of stress. From overseeing the setup to coordinating with the vendors and handling any last-minute changes, they were everywhere they needed to be, and always with a smile. Their professionalism and warmth were felt by everyone, and we received countless compliments on how smoothly everything went. In short, Traci turned our wedding dreams into reality and made our special day unforgettable. If you’re looking for someone who is not only highly skilled and organized but also genuinely cares about making your day perfect, look no further. We are beyond grateful for her exceptional work and would recommend her without reservation to anyone looking to make their wedding day as magical as ours.”
— Heidy Sawyers 9/07/2024 Swissotel Chicago

“Graceful Weddings and Events is the Best. I can’t say enough about Traci. I was in desperate need and literally took her 10 mins to return my call when I reached out to her. Immediately after our 1st meeting I knew I found my planner. Custom services, unlimited vendors at her disposal. List goes on. Communication was key. She was on top of everything. Caterer, DJ, Flowers, Decor…. Everything!!! I wish I could get married again just to hang out with her! I’ll be honest, I thought I could do it on my own, Impossible. My Fantasy would not have come true if it wasn’t for Traci.”
