Love Letters
sarah + kyle
Aubrey came recommended from a friend, who had a similarly wonderful experience with her. I am type A, and Aubrey had the perfect balance of commanding all of the details while remaining calm and collected. When I would get overwhelmed or frustrated, she would pull an Olivia Pope style "it's handled" and I never had to deal with the issue again. She provided suggestions and advice about every aspect of the wedding. On the day of the wedding, I had 1,000 paper cranes to hang around the wedding venue, and Aubrey and her team came up with creative ways to utilize them all. I was particularly impressed with how everything came together the day of the wedding - Aubrey handled all of the coordination so that I could simply enjoy the day.
I live in Seattle but had my wedding in Sacramento, and Aubrey was particularly great at helping me plan my wedding remotely. She even scheduled a meeting with me in Seattle while she was on vacation here! That's how attentive she is. I could not have asked for a better wedding planner and I have complete confidence that if you hire her, you will as happy as I am.

Nothing but positive things to say about Carrie and With Curated by Grace + White great communication, attention to detail, and organization, which are all must haves for a wedding planner. Very professional and all around great people to work with. Do yourself a favor and hire Curated by Grace + White for your Park Winters Wedding.

Hannah with Curated by Grace + White was an absolutely wonderful wedding planner/coordinator and designer. She was there from start to finish and was extremely patient with my husband as he took his time deciding on the cake bakery, flavors and design. Hannah would answer all of my texts promptly, in the morning, in the evening you name it, she was there. Our wedding was beautiful and it was the day that I had always dreamed of. The out of this world flowers, tables, chairs, DJ, Photobooth were all stunning. Thanks to Hannah, my husband and I were able to fully enjoy our day without a worry in the world.

I couldn't be happier or have a single nicer thing to say about Sarah Bayer and her team. Sarah is single-handedly the reason our wedding went so flawlessly. In the year leading up to the wedding, Sarah was very helpful as a sounding board, especially as we made COVID-related decisions. In the months leading up to the event, she was very communicative and spent hours on the phone with us nailing down even the tiniest details of our night. Sarah was very organized and detail oriented, and as soon as I sent her a vendor contract and contact info, I could count on her to take over and communicate anything that needed communicating.
In the week leading up to the wedding, she helped me rejigger the timeline so we could ensure enough dancing. She's clearly an expert at what she does because when I wanted to move things around she'd know exactly the ramifications -- "If you move speeches here, it will mean people are still eating when dancing starts." etc.
On the day of, she brought my vision to life even better than I'd envisioned it. She handled my crazy bridal party with ease and grace. She managed a tight run of show. I honestly have no clue if there were every any issues, thanks to all her hard work behind the scenes. I truly don't know how she managed so many details and moving pieces, while also seemingly being right there, ready and waiting, whenever I needed anything. She was also just an absolute joy to have around!
My husband and I are beyond thrilled. I'm just sad to not still be working with her (Will most definitely be calling her for my sisters' wedding one day though!)

I don't even know where to start. Hiring Sara to help me plan my wedding (during COVID) was the best decision I ever made. She was always available to answer all my questions, immediately understood my vision, and was just always kind and helpful. On my wedding day, we had the biggest storm Napa has ever seen, and she had every shit storm thrown at her, but she handled it so well to the point where I had no idea what was going on. I would hire her over and over again and will recommend her to everyone I know. I've also made a lifelong friend through this process, one that should be stressful but she made it fun and did everything in her power to make sure I had the best day possible. This girl goes above and beyond for not just the bride, but the bridal party, the mother of the bride, and the other vendors. Don't look further!!!
Also, check out her bridal boutique Grace + White in Sacramento. I got my gown from there and it could not have been a better experience!

I was a Curated by Grace + White bride in June 2022 and cannot recommend this team enough. After interviewing multiple Napa wedding planners, I booked Mary Hicks with Curated in 2020. Not only is she super sweet and personable, she gets $hit done! She helped execute my vision with ease. Due to a family emergency, Mary couldn’t be there on the day of my wedding but in her place I received the services of the owner Sara plus a few other team members including Rachael. These ladies provided me with the most stress free, peaceful, beautiful day! As with any wedding, little things went wrong here and there but they handled it with such confidence and professionalism. It takes a certain type of person to do this job! A few examples being fixing my flowers and my dress when the beading got stuck. Comes in handy to have a team who also owns a bridal boutique! I seriously adore this company and their team and could not recommend them enough! Mary will be someone I keep in touch with forever.

We were so lucky to have worked with our planner/coordinator Elizabeth! She perfected every detail and made our vision come to life! She was so patient with my many questions and ideas! I was pretty anxious at times and she was always able to recognize it and help me feel calm! I don’t know what I would have done without G&W. On the big day, Elizabeth and her assistants handled every single little thing and it all went perfectly. She created the most beautiful wedding I could imagine. Every vendor we worked with was so happy to hear that Elizabeth was our planner. She is so good at communicating and coordinating! If I went back, I wouldn’t change a thing!
