    Maxwell + Gray were the best!

    Nari, was our wedding coordinator. She was literally my favorite person on our wedding day! I am so thankful for her and everything she did for us on our wedding day. She made the day sp special and fluid. I would highly recommend her and Maxwell + Gray team to make your wedding day so amazing!

    Thank you,
    Stephanie & Dillion Legates

    Day of coordination is a MUST!

    I always knew I wanted some type of day of coordinator knowing a planner was not within our budget but it was very important to me to have a professional assist with pulling everything together. I did not want us to have to do all of that on our wedding day and wanted it stress free as possible. And that's exactly what Maxwell & Gray did for us. They were extremely professional and organized. They also worked with our venue on our behalf when we needed to postpone. It was really tricky to navigate and they stepped in and really helped us feel at ease. While we booked day of coordination, they truly helped throughout the whole process. Our coordinator, Layne, was amazing. She got to know us, she asked so many questions to understand our vision, she guided us throughout the last 6 weeks and made our day go smoothly. We had to move our wedding indoors the day before due to weather and she made it happen. There was not a single hiccup the day of, and if there was, I had no idea because Layne took care of it. I would definitely recommend Maxwell & Gray and having at least a day of coordinator!

    Our 11/27/21 wedding

    Nari, over at Maxwell and Gray was a true godsend to me during this process. Everyone always tells you that it is inevitable that something, or many things, will go wrong on your wedding day, but I can honestly say not ONE thing went wrong. I attribute that to Nari. She was able to execute everything flawlessly and there was not one time during the day that I felt stressed or worried that something was not being handled. I was able to relax, worry-free, and enjoy my wedding day with my family, friends, and now husband. I will forever be grateful to her and Maxwell and Gray.

    Great Experience!

    We are so happy that we had Maxwell+Gray on board to help make our reception dreams come true. We used the month of service which was actually much more helpful than expected because they provided a lot of great resources and monthly reminders as we planned. Erin was our event manager and she took care of everything! She and her team were so wonderful to work with and made sure our vision was carried through. They really cut down the stress so that we could enjoy the experience! Highly Recommend!

    You need a good wedding planner!

    We worked with Rachel from Maxwell + Gray and had help with the design and month-of coordination for our wedding. Rachel was absolutely amazing to work with - she was responsive and flexible. Wedding planning during this pandemic wasn't easy, but Rachel definitely made everything a lot easier. She would pick up the ball on things we forgot and was so responsive and helpful whenever we needed her help. It was so easy to just trust Rachel day of. Working with her made us realize how important it was not just to have a wedding planner but a really good one! She and her assistant Lane made sure our day went perfectly - making day of decisions with decor and layouts to ensure everything was not only pretty but also functional, bustling my dress, offering to take pictures on my phone through ceremony and reception so that I would immediately have pictures to scroll through post wedding, relaying messages to my vendors when necessary, and of course addressing issues day of that I am probably even not aware of. Overall, our wedding day was flawless and beautiful. It was everything we wanted and it could not have been pulled off without the help of our amazing planner, Rachel!

    Highly Recommend Maxwell + Gray!

    I don't even know where to begin. I worked with Jenny at Maxwell + Gray and did the month of planning package. This was definitely one of the best decisions I made during my wedding planning process. As soon as it got close to the wedding, and the stress levels were getting high, Jenny swooped in and took care of everything. Not only was she super responsive and sweet, she was organized and kept me updated on everything. We had a crazy few weeks before the wedding -- my husband fractured his pelvis, Jenny had a family emergency, and there were rumblings of COIVD-19 on the news. Jenny and her team handled it all like pros and made so many accommodations for us and notified our vendors of everything. Our day ended up being perfect and I know it is in large part due to Jenny's attention to detail and ability to roll with the punches and make decisions quickly and efficiently. Don't hesitate to hire them. :)

    *Please note, the date of my wedding on this review is wrong. I got married 03.14.20. :)

    Taking care of every detail so you can enjoy your dream day!

    While I am not a bride (that was many years ago), I wanted to pop on here and give my opinion as a vendor who has worked with Maxwell + Gray because I think it is good for potential brides to see things from multiple angles. I worked at a wedding this past weekend with Jenny and her sidekick, Nari. I don't think the soles of their shoes ever touched the ground! I watched as Jenny cleaned up a spilled drink that the servers walked past. Nari was constantly refilling the dessert display so it looked like a magazine spread. There were so many moving parts to this wedding and everything was flawless! Their work behind the scenes was the key to the bride and groom being able to fully enjoy this incredible evening with their friends and family. I work with many event planners, but if I were having a wedding right now, I would hire Jenny and Nari of Maxwell + Gray.

    Maxwell & Gray is the BEST decision you'll make

    Where do I even begin? I knew just from email alone that I wanted to hire Stacy and her team for their "month of" wedding planning package, but I wanted to do my due diligence, so I set up a meeting in person. Immediately after meeting Stacy, it felt like I'd known her forever- I could just tell we'd be in wonderful hands for our wedding and she and her team would help make our wedding vision come true. Stacy and Rachel were the main planners from the team that helped with our wedding and I can't say enough good things about them- they were kind, organized, funny, WONDERFUL WITH GUESTS, on top of everything- truly anything you could ask for from a planner. Our wedding day honestly was pretty much perfect, low stress, and just a dream. I know that a lot of that was due to their ability to handle everything, the timeline, and take care of any little thing that came up so that my family, friends, and I could enjoy our day without having to stress about any of that. I selected them initially because I could tell from their social media posting that they weren't just doing this for business reasons- they have a passion for this, a passion for marriage itself and what it means to find your partner in life and commit to them, and they fully delivered. If you need a planner for your wedding- LOOK NO FURTHER- Maxwell & Gray are the best. Thank you Stacy, Rachel, and anyone else who helped with our wedding for helping us to have the wedding weekend of our dreams.

    Dream team!

    Hiring Maxwell & Gray for our month-of coordination was a no brainer the second we met them and one of the best decisions we made!

    When we met with other planners, it felt very black box to me what they actually did versus relied on me to do. But Maxwell & Gray took care of everything I was looking for a planner to take care of and did it flawlessly. They were so responsive and on top of everything and I never doubted that we were in excellent hands. I also love that they were there to help with any questions we had throughout the planning process, even when our month-of period hadn’t technically started yet. So grateful for all of the heart and hard work from these guys!

    The BEST of the best!!!

    I don’t think I will be able to put into words JUST how amazing the team of Maxwell + Gray is. I mean it when I say best of the best. We knew that we wanted to book them when they spoke so passionately about helping couples prepare their wedding day, but also helping couples prepare for a happy and strong MARRIAGE. They are prepared, creative, organized, and connect to your vision of exactly what you want (or they help you create a vision if you’re like me and didn’t have one!). They are so helpful and work so hard to make this experience stress-free, exciting, and full of love. I am a high-stress person, and they all always made me feel so calm and at ease. They are truly a blessing to everyone who books them!

    Listening and Styling

    Stacy and her team did an AMAZING job listening to my vision and letting all that I said guide their work for my event. They do a beautiful job and I would highly recommend leaving your very important wedding day in their capable hands!

    'Day of Wedding Coordinator' was Amazing!

    Madison was awesome! She was very professional with her instructions and prompted us in a timely manner. She also made sure the Husband and I never came into contact before the ceremony. Madison was all smiles throughout the special day and worked well with the other vendors. Each of our vendors approached us and complimented her organization and communication among the vendors. She genuinely cares for the bride and groom, and went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect. Our wedding had to be moved inside due to the weather, where she adjusted everything smoothly and had zero setbacks. Even if there were issues due to the changes, we would have never known, it's like she had a plan for everything!

    Highly Recommendable!

    I highly recommend Maxwell and Gray as month of coordinators. Alex is extremely professional and handled all of the last minute stressful vendor details so that I could concentrate on other things in the weeks leading up to our day. On the day of, Alex was an essential piece for a stress free, fun filled night! I didn't have to worry about anything! She checked in on me throughout the night, made sure we ate first so we could mingle as soon as possible, and she even grabbed me a drink when she saw mine was out. I felt at peace the whole evening! She made sure everything we wanted took place, and was professional and calm in transitions (told us where to go and when without making us feel rushed)! Thank you so much! Would not have been the night we dreamed of without you.

    Best Wedding Planners!!

    Hiring Maxwell+Gray was the BEST decision we made for our wedding! Stacy knew our vision from the beginning and helped us bring it to life. Our wedding was everything we imagined it to be. Stacy and team are incredibly fun and kind, always looking for ways to help. Thank you Stacy for helping bring our vision to life and thank you Madi for making sure the wedding day ran smoothly - it was perfect!!

    Amazing planner saves the day!

    We had a modern bohemian wedding in my parent's backyard! I was searching for a planner with similar vibes and was referred by a friend. Stacy is a gem

    Do yourself a favor and book them immediately. I was a crazy bride who had to meet with at least 5 vendors face to face before picking one. My meeting with Stacy for a day of (month of) coordinator was amazing. She was recommended by a fright of a co-worker. I knew in my gut from the first meeting that she was perfect for our wedding. We still met with about 5 other planners before I quickly went back to Stacy and hired her. She sent us her preferred vendors and we did end up using some of them from her list. My wedding was a dream. Stacy and her team made it happen. All of my friends and family kept telling me how calm and happy I was the day of the wedding. I felt like I actually got to experience my whole wedding- the entire day. I have Stacy to thank for that. I had no worries about 3 weeks out after Stacy had taken over. She handled all the communication about a month out with all of the vendors. She worked with me in my walk through meeting with the venue and she executed EVERYTHING the day of. I was so calm, and had no stress. Normally I have to have everything as I want it, but I left some design decisions to Stacy and her team because I knew they would execute and they did! Again, do yourself a favor and book her immediately!!

    All I can say is the entire team is AMAZING!!! I looked at a lot of different options for wedding planners and every planner was so expensive and had packages you had to select from (either full or partial) with no wiggle room. I wanted to handle some planning aspects but also wanted to have a planner who handled other pieces - the pricing / options Maxwell + Gray offered is SO reasonably priced and Stacy and her team are so accommodating and flexible in making the planning experience exactly catered to you and your wedding. Throughout the entire process, Stacy and the team were all so supportive, positive and patient. They made everything SO easy every step of the way and I can't imagine wedding planning or my wedding day without them! These girls are EVERYTHING!!!

    Apart from marrying Anthony, hiring Maxwell + Gray was the best decision of my entire wedding. Stacy literally gave birth to her beautiful third child, and still attended and directed both my rehearsal and ceremony. She is amazing and so is everyone on her team. She helped talk me through every decision I made along the planning process and was SUCH a comforting presence on my wedding weekend. Madison is one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet and was amazing at executing our beautiful reception! They deserve so much more praise than I can type. Hire them. You need them. I love them.

As the mother of the bride, they handled everything and took everything off of my worry list so that I could enjoy the day. It was magical! They are worth every penny! BEST WEDDING PLANNERS EVER!!! They get 20 out of 10 STARS!!! Kathy Flaming

    Cannot say enough on how amazing this team is. Our wedding went from an outdoor ceremony to an indoor last minute and this team made it seamless! Stacy, Madison, and Hawa are the sweetest and kindest souls ever and would do anything to make sure your big day is perfect. Our wedding day would not have been the same without them. This is a DREAM TEAM that we will forever cherish!

    Stacy (and her team of Madison and Alex) were amazing not only leading up to the wedding day but from the very first minute of meeting her. Stacy was always right on point, very responsive, honest and genuinely helpful. She truly cares about your day from the bottom of her heart. I honestly have no idea how she manages to do it all without a single glitch. She is very easy to talk to and extremely personable yet she can get feisty with vendors if its required (aka - hotel block communications). I give her 5++ stars as our wedding day was perfect and 100% of my thanks go to her for her assistance.

    If I could give Stacy and her team more than 5 stars, I would. They're is that good. Stacy is incredibly sweet, a joy to work with, and she's fantastic at what she does. Within five seconds of meeting her, I knew Stacy had to help us plan our wedding. From outstanding vendor recommendations throughout the planning process to being one of the most organized people I've ever met, Stacy had my complete trust. We hired her for the month of, and Stacy really did take everything off our plates that month. Our wedding weekend was a breeze because Stacy took care of everything--and our wedding day was absolutely perfect thanks to Stacy and Madison. I cannot sing her praises enough. Hire her!

    f I could give only one piece of advice to brides-to-be, it would be do whatever you can to work with Stacy Hillstead (Maxwell + Gray). I was one of those type A brides who's generally super-organized, been "planning" my wedding for years & knew exactly what I liked...and still, I can't imagine how I would have possibly survived with out her! Stacy is super likable as a person, but you'll learn quickly, you need so much more than that...you need someone who will advocate for you, negotiate vendor pricing (she got one of our catering quotes downs so low, that alone would have covered her fee), is connected with others in the business, identifies and implements your vision for your wedding- instead of pushing her own, knows the right questions to ask, & someone who actually cares about your wedding as much as you do. I know that last one seems impossible, but I truly believe my wedding was as important to Stacy as it was to me. Weddings are expensive, but I thought multiple times that Stacy wasn't getting paid nearly enough for all she was putting into our wedding. I hope you have the chance to work with her! Knowing what I know now, if Stacy wasn't available on our chosen date, I would have changed it for a date she was available. I hope you have the good fortune to work with her!
