"Her guidance, her input, her sweet personality, her organizational skills, her foresight, her patience, her flexibility, her thoughtfulness, her ability to put us at ease… all made her so wonderful to work with. I didn’t worry about a single thing on wedding day, because I truly trusted that Colleen had helped us prepare so well, and that anything that would come up she would handle"

“There was a huge benefit of having someone with extensive experience give me advice and tell me what works well in various situations. Planning a wedding is an intense process and it was made easy by Joan and her team. I was able to trust and outsource nearly all of the last minute coordination between vendors, which was a huge relief with my demanding work schedule”

“I was SO IMPRESSED with all of our meetings and the quick follow-up. During the day of, my mom, my fiance, and I were able to fully 100% enjoy every moment because we knew the team at Five Grain had everything handled.”

"The best money we spent on our entire wedding. Seriously. They would have been worth it at twice the price."

“If you've gone through the whole wedding bonanza and find yourself thinking, "Aww I'm going to miss my planner!" when it is done - I truly can't think of a more ringing endorsement than that.”
