Ingrid was a great planner to work with. As a filmmaker for weddings I have worked with many planners, but Ingrid really stood out. With her very well organized communication before the wedding and her care the day of for the couple. There is the concept of "staying on schedule" which is great. But I observed Ingrid do that but above that was "what does the couple want and prefer" and that stood out. That's how I operate as well and Ingrid really has care for her couples. AND she brings other members of her team who are also super helpful. Like little angels that help when you need it. Definitely recommend!

We booked Ingrid and her team for the Final Month Planning / Day-Of Coordination for our wedding. Thank goodness we did! The process of working with Grand Entrance Affairs was excellent, at a reasonable price point, and it resulted in an absolutely perfect day. :) From the time Ingrid started working with us, she took a load off of our shoulders and we felt well taken care of. We are the type who like to be in control and plan everything ourselves, but we're so grateful that Ingrid brought her years of experience to ask us all the right questions and help us plan out the day-of timeline because we would have definitely gotten it wrong on our own. If there were any obstacles or things that went wrong on the wedding day, we were completely oblivious to it because her team handled it all without worrying us. They gave us just the right amount of attention to make us feel well taken care of while letting us enjoy each other's company and the company of our guests. We got MANY compliments from our guests about how professional and helpful the Grand Entrance Affairs team was. We heard their team was kind, respectful, quick, and professional. While they were never in the way, their team was somehow always there when needed. Their attention to detail, ability to work with so many vendors' personalities and communication styles, "I Can" attitude, and listening to us and working with us to bring our dream into fruition -- all of it was amazing. We had many unconventional ideas, and Ingrid was game for all of them. In the end, Ingrid and her team's tireless work resulted in a flawless wedding. We couldn't have imagined a better experience. Don't hesitate to book Grand Entrance Affairs for your wedding!

Ingrid is one of the greatest planners we have had the pleasure of working with in this industry. One of her couples recently used our company, which provides faux floral rentals, to couples looking to save on flowers for their big day. Her responsiveness and impeccable attention to detail truly set her apart from most others in the wedding space, and she does so with such precision and empathy. Timeliness and thoughtfulness are extremely difficult to juggle when it comes to weddings that have so many moving parts, yet Ingrid’s unique capability to execute on both fronts makes her such an asset to work with. Her consistent, on-the-dot responsiveness completely took care of every single question leading up to the event date, and we never had to worry about getting an answer back on anything, which is so rare and deeply appreciated. We worked with Grand Entrance Affairs on a wedding happening on the Queen Mary, which is known to be a logistically more complex venue in terms of setup and weather conditions on the water. Ingrid ensured that all potential hiccups were accounted for long before the event, and has a unique gift for taking care of every single detail and deadline in a way that only someone with profound love and experience can pull off. She has the ability to juggle many different temperaments, extreme time constraints, and a million moving pieces and transforms them all into an unforgettable and beautiful event. She and her team truly embody white glove service and thoughtful attention to detail every step of the way. We will be referring her to all of our clients moving forward.

Thank you so much, Carol! I'm so moved by all your kind and thoughtful words. :') I'm just as grateful for such a positive experience working with you! Despite the logistical challenges of the venue, we managed to pull off an amazing day for the couple—and that is always the ultimate goal! Thank you for your role in ensuring a smooth and successful event, including all the pre-event planning and communication leading up to it. Working with you was such a breeze throughout the planning process, and I'll be sure to keep referring you to my clients. Until the next one together! :)
Grateful for Ingrid and Her Team

We had our wedding over the weekend, and it turned out to be absolutely amazing — better than we ever could have imagined — and a big part of that was thanks to Ingrid and the Grand Entrance Affairs team. From the very beginning, Ingrid was kind, responsive, and easy to work with. She made the entire planning process feel so much more manageable. On the day of the wedding, she and her team handled everything seamlessly. We didn’t have to worry about a thing — their calm, professional presence allowed us to truly be present and enjoy the day with our guests.
