The Experience in Their Words

“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!”

“Thank you for everything you did to make my Daughter’s wedding day beautiful. I only have two of those daughters, so maybe you will understand what it meant to me. I was nervous about my own part in it, not having done anything remotely like a ceremony before. It worked out and I feel tremendous gratitude toward you!

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.
