Hi, I’m Dorothy Wright

Owner and lead planner of Emerald Grace, a wedding planning company based in Arizona serving couples locally and worldwide.

Emerald Grace was created for couples who want more than just a planner, they want a genuine relationship, a thoughtfully curated guest experience, and a wedding that feels as good as it looks. I believe the planning process should be just as enjoyable as the wedding day itself, which is why I focus on creating a seamless, organized, and elevated experience from start to finish.

Creating Emerald Grace has been a dream realized. Nothing brings me more joy than working with couples to curate a celebration that will live on, not only in your memories, but in the memories of your closest friends and family for years to come. Because it’s never “just” a wedding. It’s a moment in time where all of your favorite people are together, something rare, meaningful, and unforgettable. Let’s make it extraordinary!

After working alongside luxury planners, I realized it was time to create the kind of planning company I wanted to see in the world, and Emerald Grace was born. Today, I have the privilege of working with couples who value intention, trust, and a refined experience, allowing me to pour my creativity and care into every celebration.

With years of experience crafting refined, thoughtfully designed events, I believe no detail is too small, no problem too big, and no challenge too complex. Every element is approached with intention, grace, and care so your wedding day unfolds seamlessly, allowing you and your guests to be fully present in every moment.

My Approach

Emerald Grace is designed as a boutique experience, rooted in connection, trust, and a commitment to quality over quantity. Every wedding is personally guided by me from start to finish, ensuring a seamless, elevated, and deeply cared-for experience.

Personally Led, Always.

Every wedding at Emerald Grace is led with intention and care by me. While my team provides incredible support, you’ll always have a direct, personal connection to the person guiding your entire experience.

Our Team

While Emerald Grace is a boutique, planner-led experience, it’s truly a team effort behind the scenes. On your wedding day, I’m supported by an incredible group of assistants, each with a specific role, whether that’s a lead assistant, bridal attendant, or helping me execute all the details we’ve planned together.

You may not meet every team member before the wedding day, but I make sure everyone shows up fully prepared, knowing exactly what they’re responsible for and ready to make everything run seamlessly.

These are the people fluffing your dress, straightening every menu, fixing every napkin, and making sure everything looks and feels just right, so you can be fully present and enjoy it all. I truly have the best team, and they’re a huge part of what makes the day feel so effortless and special.

Our Mission

To bring calm, beauty, and joy to one of the most meaningful days in a couple’s life through thoughtful organization, creativity, and heartfelt service. We create seamless, stress-free wedding experiences that allow our couples and their families to be fully present in every moment, confident that every detail is handled with care, intention, and a genuine love for what we do.

Our Vision

To be known as a planning team that embodies calm confidence, refined design, and impeccable execution, while being the kindest, warmest people to work with. Every Emerald Grace wedding should reflect effortless elegance, achieved through preparation, communication, and teamwork.

We don’t just plan events, we curate experiences where our clients, guests, and vendors feel valued, inspired, and truly cared for.
