Introduction
How It All Started — From California to Cincinnati My journey into event planning began in California, when I started throwing elaborate, budget-friendly birthday parties for my daughter. I poured my creativity into every detail—transforming everyday items into something magical—and those parties quickly got attention. Soon, other moms were asking me to help with their events too. At the same time, I was organizing fundraisers through my business, which gave me hands-on experience managing larger events, logistics, and tight budgets. Everything grew organically through word of mouth—one event turned into another, and before long, what started as a passion project turned into a full-fledged business. Now, Grace Celebrations is a multi-state company, and I still work personally with every client to capture the exact feeling and look they want—whether it’s a cozy dinner party or a 500-person wedding. I love every part of the process: brainstorming, designing, coordinating, and finally watching it all come together like a perfect puzzle. When I expanded into Cincinnati—my third city—I immediately felt the warmth and excitement from clients here. There’s something special about the Queen City’s blend of tradition and creativity, and I’m honored to be part of the celebrations that make it shine. I like to call myself the “planner for people who think they can’t afford a planner.” Whatever your budget is, I’ll help you make the most of it—and create something unforgettable.

We secured Kris for a Day-Of-Event Organizer for our September wedding. “Magical,” "The Best Ever,” “Never experienced an event like this..,” These were only a few of the comments we received from guests during and after our event. One guest commented several weeks after the event that Kris and her team made an effort to work the event checking on them throughout the evening. Additionally, her team spontaneously greeted all of our guests upon arrival with our wedding programs which added a personal touch to the occasion. Our event was far from simple. It was a 225-guest outdoor venue at our home complete with tent, neon theme, valet service, two meal options, a live band and a DJ. There were many details to organize for the day. We could not have asked for a more dedicated and creative visionary working to make everything happen behind the scenes. Although Kris is advertised as the day-of event coordinator, she was available several months prior for planning and was assisting in all aspects leading up to the big day. While the bride and groom did almost all of the actual planning leading up to the event, she worked very closely with their vision. The execution of how the day turned out was beyond expectations!

Details: 151 - 200 guests • Venue • DJ • Caterer • Photographer

Kris was great!!!!! She was very easy to work with from the beginning and incredibly professional. She was very proactive about getting in touch about anything we needed at every step of the way, and she made sure our wedding day went off without a hitch!!!! We were touched by the very sweet personal note she sent us after the wedding ceremony was over and also she did double duty making sure we had some pictures right after the wedding!!! We would without a doubt recommend her. Thank you so much, Kris!

Needed some (very) last minute help and they were able to come through with a day of planner. So helpful, reasonably priced, & I’m also just amazed and surprised they were able to help me out at such short notice. Will definitely be using them again! :)
