I highly recommend Fran. She helped me find the perfect invitation for our wedding last year & I didn’t have to worry about a thing. She took care of all the details and they turned out just beautiful! I did my own event planning but word is out that she is an expert at that too!!

Good evening Mrs. Fran
Thank you again for all your help to make my daughter's special day extra beautiful. We love the tables. Thank you so much.
I brought them home and will use the flowers as a unique decoration to my daughter's bedroom.
Thank you again

Fran was wonderful to work with! She was kind, patient, and determined to help me find the perfect invitation for my wedding. And she took care of everything! Seemless process. I highly recommend!

Fran was an absolute godsend when it came to my wedding day! When I first got engaged, my mom and I were on the fence on if I needed a wedding planner throughout my wedding planningprocess, as I knew she and I were very organized and I am very hands on when it comes to planing. But about 6 months out I realized we definitely will be needing some help as we get closer to the big day. Fran was actually recommended to me by another bride in a bridal group I was a member of on Facebook, and I am so happy we decided to hire her! We hired Fran for help the couple weeks leading up to my wedding, as well as coordination on our rehearsal, and for the big day. From our first meeting, she was very attentive, and made sure that anything I asked for was done exactly how I envisioned. She also helped with giving any guidance and recommendations where I needed, including my hair and makeup artist who were awesome! When it came down to the days leading up to the wedding, Fran reached out requesting a list of my vendors and their contact information, which I happily provided, so she could call each one and confirm their expected arrival time. This was awesome because time really is of the essence as you get closer to your wedding day! On our wedding day, Fran and her husband were seriously amazing. They were attentive to anything we may have needed, and made sure to instruct the vendors and coordinate any questions without having to come to me first. My favorite thing was the pictures she and her husband took throughout the day! I'm still waiting on our professional pictures, so having some sneak peaks from Fran was amazing! Hire Social Graces! You won't be disappointed :)

Social Graces was beyond helpful for planning our special day! Fran's attention to detail, superior knowledge, and beautiful calligraphy helped us achieve everything that we dreamed of. Without Fran there on our special day we would have been lost. She is very highly recommended!! We will for sure use her for all of our special family events.

A must have on your wedding day!   
Fran was a lifesaver on my wedding day. She was always on time and knew exactly what to do. She took a lot of stress off that day and her services are completely worth the money! She also took some pictures for me which were nice to have immediately after the wedding. I also included a hilarious picture my friends grabbed of us while Fran was helping me walk around and I was trying to hold my dress up! Thanks Fran!!

Thank you so much Fran for everything! You were such a big help throughout the process especially on the big day.
I appreciate your constant support and beautiful words.
It is an honor to hear you say that our ceremony was the most beautiful you have seen that makes me smile!! 
I hope you had a beautiful Easter weekend as well!
Love,
Mika Michael and Milan

Thank you so much . It was a pleasure working with you, even to see the trust you put in us to send the cards without the final payment. May you and your business be blessed.

Katherine and I thank you so much for your help with the wedding. You are a very good teacher and leader. We think everything went off without a problem-even handing out bells and goody bags. Again thank you, Diane

Fran could not have been more helpful on our wedding day and throughout the entire planning process. I was the first in my family to get married and it was definitely overwhelming at the beginning. When I met Fran, my stress was cut in half! The quality of her services is excellent, she kept me on schedule and on track with ordering invitations, placecards, church programs, etc. and her kindness, advice and support throughout allowed me to relax and enjoy the experience so much more. I would highly recommend Fran to any of my family or friends when it comes time for their weddings. She was truly a godsend!

Fran is the best!! She gets back to you so quickly and has so much knowledge of the wedding process. She only gave me her opinion when I asked and was not pushy at all! She is so patient and kind. She has helped myself and my two sisters with our weddings. She can help with anything from programs, place cards, day of coordination and much more. I would recommend her to anyone!

Amazing calligraphy! Beautiful and elegant looking for my wedding invitations, it added such a personal, artistic touch having them hand written instead of printed. I gave her the addresses and they were done in no time, just a few days! I would highly recommend Social Graces.

Dear Fran,
Thank you so much for all of your help over this past year of preparation for our wedding!  I really appreciated your availability, your willingness to answer my many questions, and your sage advice.  In particular, thank you for your suggestion to have one flower arrangement only for the church and for the recommendation regarding where to position it.  (We lucked out with those beautiful pink orchids on the altar to begin with!) Thank you also for helping me consider all of my options when it came to choosing invitations and programs.  You were incredibly helpful!  Matt and I also appreciated the time you spent with us over Christmas and for your patience during the rehearsal.
It was a pleasure meeting you and thank you again for all of your assistance over the course of the last year!
Sincerely,
Sarah and Matt

Dear Fran,
Thank you so much for your responses.
I spoke to the people at the reception venue and you were right. They do have a coordinator for the reception, however, I still think it would be a stress reliever to have someone help me manage prior to arriving at the venue. For example, I'm not sure when to start hair and makeup, where would be best to get ready (hotel, my dad's, etc), how long I need for pictures prior to the ceremony, etc. A timeline and a person to enforce it would be extremely helpful.
I have spoken to a few wedding coordinators, but they mostly want to coordinate the whole day and charge me an insane amount, when in reality I really just need a timeline and someone prior to the reception. So, I want to thank you again for being completely transparent when it came to not needing a coordinator for the reception, and for also not being pushy (which some other companies seem to be).
I would love to have you as a coordinator for my wedding.

Dear Fran, Thank you for helping to make my daughters' weddings so perfect. I especially appreciated you saving the day with your needle and thread for Tricia's gown. Patty

Dear Fran, Thank you for being a big help running Lisa's wedding. I really appreciated your whipping everyone everyone into shape at the rehearsal. My family all commented on how elegantly the Bridal Party came in and how lovely the ceremony was. I truly appreciate your orchestratize the ceremony for us. It enabled me to sleep the night before knowing you were there to coordinate. Thanks so much, Marie 

Dear Fran, Mahalo means thank you in Hawaiian and really we can't thank you enough. It was such a huge help to us that you did so much legwork and we appreciate it. I hope you like this little gift from Hawaii as a token of gratitude. Sincerely, Kim and the Bridesmaids.

Dear Fran, I could never begin to thank you enough for all your help, suggestions and support as we got ready for Francesa's wedding. You are the best! With much appreciation. Peace and all good, Angela

Fran, Just wanted to thank you again. The invites look amazing and I am so happy that you were able to turn them around so quickly. I was able to pack them last night and they've already been sent out. I have two friends getting married (one in March and One next July) so I'll be sure to give them your information. Thanks again, Sue

Dear Fran, Thank you for your care and attention during the planning of our wedding ceremony.  Our "Big Day" turned out wonderful thanks to your guidance! We were grateful to have your advice as we designed our wedding programs and you helped out so well on the actual wedding.  We wish you a healthy and joyous 2014! With thanks, Erin and Sean

Dear Fran, I just received the tag you inscribed on for the cookie favor bags. Unfortunately I see what you mean. I guess we will have to either have stickers made with a pretty cursive writing or even get a rubber stamp made. I think the best choice from what you said about the paper would be to have stickers made. Thank you for taking the time to work on this tag for me
for my  daughter's bridal shower. I appreciate your effort and work. Thank you, Terry

Hi Fran!!
I am soooo sorry for not writing to you sooner!!   
The party was great!   Yes, we had many cancellations (about 30) because of the snow but we still had a good crowd (about 70).  The food was great and the music was awesome.  The musician arrived early (from Long Valley!) and slept over to avoid the snowy roads!   A handful of people left as late at 2:00 a.m. 
We love the chocolate houses. One of which we saved for Christmas so we are just finishing it now!  It is very tasty!  Thank you!
Many thanks for all the upfront leg work you did to organize the party.  We really appreciated your help. And, I am glad the check arrived!   You definitely deserve it!
I hope you had a Merry Christmas!
Happy New Year!!
Suzy

Fran was incredibly helpful in planning my NJ wedding while stationed in California. She took so much stress off of me, and was very reasonably priced! I would recommend her to other brides.
