About

The adventure first began in 2011 when I accepted a job with a wonderful wedding coordination company which was originally based out of Atlanta, Georgia. I quickly discovered just how passionate I was for this crazy, whirlwind of an industry and by 2012 I was thrilled to launch Southern Grace Events.


Fast forward to 2016 when I met the Chandler's who were in the process of building Chandler Oaks Barn. Once again, I was offered a dream position. I cheerfully accepted the role as event and venue manger for the sweet Chandler family. We held our first event at Chandler Oaks in March of 2017 and the rest is history.

Planning, designing, organizing details and connecting people brings pure joy into my life and I am so thankful for the gifts, talents and opportunities the Lord has blessed me with.
I truly love what I do.

Vendor from heaven

As a professional photographer in the wedding industry for the last 15 years, I have worked with so many different venues and vendors. Chandler Oaks has a dream team there is absolutely nothing that a bride needs on her wedding day that they don’t support. And on top of that, they support all of the vendors as well. Whenever I arrive, they have everything ready for me to go and get photographed so the bride doesn’t even have to worry about it. Their timelines always match mine in our perfection giving us all the time we need to photograph the perfect wedding day. They go above and beyond on the day of your wedding to make sure you’re comfortable Relaxed and excited. I’ve watched them come up with a rain plan in 30 seconds. That was even better than the original outdoor plan. I have worked with well over 150 venues in my career and hundreds of planners and this level of service is so unique , and sadly rare in this industry. I promise you will not regret booking this venue, or their incredible team of planners and vendors.

A dream team!

We used Southern Grace for planning and florals. Not only did they have an amazing price point compared to others, they also did amazing work! Southern Grace and specifically Stephanie Orth were a dream to work with! They made everything so easy, and always calmed my nerves and anxiety about things going well on the big day! They were also super flexible with me and my weird work schedule. Stephanie executed my vision to a T! I sent her inspo and she sent me ordering links! From the small details, to creating the day of timeline, to communicating with vendors, she did it all and seamlessly. I would 100% choose to work with them again if I had to do it over again!
