Rain or Shine, Ingrid had us Covered! I had the pleasure of working with Ingrid from Grand Entrance Affairs for a destination wedding in Utah. I was part of the hair and makeup team that traveled from California to Utah for our awesome bride and groom. Working with Ingrid was such a great experience. She handled all the travel logistics--flights, hotel, rental car for our vendor team which made everything so easy for us. We just had to show up! She was super organized, responsive, and truly went the extra mile - even checking in during the bride's hair and makeup trial to make sure things were going smoothly. She made the whole weekend run seamlessly. That weekend, the weather started out brisk and cool, then it was beautiful and sunny, then cloudy and gray with torrential rain and double digit wind speeds. And then, it snowed. For a bunch of California girls, Ingrid was the reason why we were well prepared for all of it! If you're planning a destination wedding or any special occasion, I highly recommend Ingrid and the Grand Entrance Affairs team. Top-tier communication and coordination. We can't wait to work with her and her team again. read more

Ingrid is a great coordinator, and we can't thank her enough for being so helpful. As another vendor, we've worked with many coordinators over the years, and I have to say--flat out--that Ingrid with Grand Entrance Affairs is one of the best in the industry. She knows exactly what needs to be done, plans thoroughly, and communicates clearly. Most importantly, she gave our team the space and coordination we needed to deliver our best work for the client. Thank you, Ingrid, for being such a professional, organized, and genuinely kind person to work with. We truly look forward to working with you again! read more

I cannot say enough good things about Ingrid and her crew. We had hired her as our day of event coordinator, and let me say it was the BEST investment. My husband and I decided to get married at our parents barn. So the ceremony and reception where at the same place, which required a lot of organizing. She did all the communicating with the DJ, Photo Booth, violinist, photographer, videographer, food cater, cake delivery, after party food, flower delivery, car transportation, bar tenders/waiters as well as the the bridal party and family. She made sure everyone knew when and where they were supposed to be. She had made a timeline and made sure everyone stayed on track. She was easy to communicate with, super sweet and organized. And things would not have gone as smoothly as they did if it was not for her and her crew. I had a lot of decorations, candles and lighting that needed to be taken care of and she took care of it all. I will never forget when I had a headache during the reception and one of her girls went out of her way to get me some medicine. During my photo shoot there was always someone with me to make sure my hair, makeup and dress were on point. It was the little things that stuck with me the most. We highly recommend her and her crew!! Five stars for sure, you won't regret it. read more

We hired Ingrid and her crew for our wedding in 2020. Little did we know the COVID pandemic would hit and we would also be expecting a child during all of this chaos. Despite all the challenges and never-ending pandemic restriction changes, they helped us navigate our wedding through it all and did it with such grace and ease. I'm so glad I hired them to help. The madness of a wedding alone was enough to have one wanting to pull their hair out already. Not to mention adding the stress of being pregnant and dealing with all the COVID delimma. 10/10 would recommend Ingrid and her team. read more

Ingrid is amazing to work with. We had her come in as our month of coordinator, and she was on top of everything from day one. She had some wonderful suggestions and ideas for things we were unsure about, and helped us figure out how to fit in any nontraditional/unique aspects of our wedding into the timeline. On the day of the wedding, Ingrid and Emily were super helpful! They made sure to keep us on track with timing but even when we ran half an hour late on our first look Ingrid had baked in enough downtime and kept us on track the rest of the day that we even got to dancing early! The decor was set up flawlessly as well. So so grateful to Grand Entrance Affairs for helping to give us the most beautiful perfect wedding we could have asked for. read more

#DREAMTEAM. I got married at a camp ground situated in San Bernardino National Forest, yes you heard correctly, we got married in a FOREST. One of our largest task was to find a wedding coordinator who was organized, great at communication and crazy enough to take on this project. We had a total of 11 different vendors, had a tea ceremony, ran activities like zipling during the morning of our wedding and had over 100 guest stay overnight to give you a idea of the scale of this wedding. From the beginning, working with Ingrid was seamless. She eased my anxiety, kept me on track with wedding planning, and most importantly executed the wedding flawlessly. I am eternally grateful to Ingrid and her team for making our wedding one of the most memorable events of my lives. Going with Grand Entrance Affairs was by far the best choice we made in planning for our wedding. There is no question that I will be recommending Grand Entrance Affairs to all my friends and family. We love you Ingrid, you're phenomenal! - Your Happy Bride! read more

My wife and I hired Ingrid as our "day-of coordinator" for our wedding, and to sum up this review in one sentence ... it was the best wedding decision we ever made! Ingrid and the Grand Entrance team stepped in about a month before the actual wedding and were very enjoyable to work with. Ingrid scheduled almost weekly meetings with us to ask us about our vision for the wedding and to keep us updated with everything. She handled the coordination of all the vendors, both of our venues, as well as our entire bridal party without breaking a sweat. My wife had done the majority of the planning but she was so relieved when Ingrid stepped in to take over, as she was handling things we hadn't even thought about! When the reception venue vendor was unresponsive and had my wife and I worried, Ingrid tracked him down and worked out all the details for us. On the day of our wedding, everything went smoothly and we didn't have to worry about a thing. Ingrid was there to tell us where to go, what to do, and to manage the entire bridal party. When one of our guests came to me with an issue, I just referred him to Ingrid and she took care of it like a champ! 5/5 stars, professional, responsive, friendly, and excellent service. Please read this review and do yourself a favor... hire Ingrid and the Grand Entrance Affairs team to coordinate your next event and I promise you won't regret it! read more

We initially started looking around for wedding coordinators because our venue required one, and a family friend recommended Ingrid to us. Once we got in touch around 8 or so months before the wedding, we decided to go with her day-of coordination services as I knew I wanted to do most of the planning myself. This was such a blessing in disguise, as the wedding really crept up those last few months prior and I didn't know how I would handle it all myself. Ingrid is so thorough and organized and was extremely professional the whole time we worked with her. Although our wedding was in SD and she was located closer to the LA area and we were in the IE, we made it all work. Even though we only met her in person the day before the wedding (which was our rehearsal dinner because all of our schedules were very hectic), we still managed to do our weekly video meetings/check-ins to see our progress. Overall looking back, I really cannot recommend her enough. I would gladly refer her and her team to all my fam/friends who are getting married. Our wedding day went smoothly, and we followed our proposed timeline pretty well. read more

Continue to create beautiful memories for your clients and fellow vendors, and we hope to work with you again soon. More blessings to you Ingrid. You are One of a Kind.

I hired Ingrid and her team for my wedding in 2019, and when I tell you I felt like royalty on my special day... it was all thanks to them! Ingrid was very communicative and on top of getting the vendors and everything else organized the month leading up to my wedding day. She planned the day-of timeline down to the minute, and her team executed everything seamlessly, making sure we stayed on track every step of the way. It made my big day way less stressful than I had anticipated being able to put my trust in this incredible team to keep things running smoothly!

Ingrid was the day/month-of coordinator for our engagement party and she did an incredible job!

On the day of the event, Ingrid was on top of everything and so attentive! I was able to be fully-present and truly enjoy the day knowing she would be able to make sure everything went smoothly.

Ingrid was so great, and I don't know how our wedding would have gone so smoothly without her and her team! We got married in a beautiful yet challenging outside AirBnB venue on a ranch where everything from restrooms and generators to catering had to be brought in. We didn't even have cell phone service and wifi, so everything had to be planned to a 'T' before hand. We opted for the 1 month coordination package, and Ingrid got on board before that to meet with us and understand our vision. The month before, she was able to connect with all the vendors and ensure that everyone would get there when they said they would. While wedding planning is stressful, on the day of, I had the best time ever because I knew that Ingrid and her team would be capable in rolling with whatever unexpected challenges presented that day. They were able to keep the flow moving without us feeling stressed or pushed. Such great people, led by the amazing Ingrid! read more
