Word of Mouth

  • "Weddings are expensive, and from ALL the things we purchased/rented, I’m glad we invested in someone like Ingrid. Not only did she make our special day way less stressful, but we gained a great friend from it! Anytime I find out a close friend or family member is getting married, the first resource I provide is Ingrid’s information. She is a MUST for any wedding!"

    Stacy & Justin

  • “My wife and I hired Ingrid and her team for our wedding, and to sum up this review in one sentence.. it was the best wedding decision we ever made! Ingrid scheduled regular 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! 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. 5/5 stars, professional, responsive, friendly, and excellent service.”

    Kim & Rosa

  • “I actually had already put a small deposit down for another wedding coordinator, but once I met Ingrid, she stole my heart. Ingrid is not only an amazing wedding coordinator, but she is also an amazing wedding officiant. She took our love story and crazy ceremony ideas (such as taking a shot with us along with our guests before we sealed the deal and taping our ring box underneath one of the chairs for a surprise ring bearer) and she created the ceremony of our dreams. To hear from multiple guests that it was the best ceremony they attended was the best compliment we could receive because the ceremony is the most important part of a wedding. Then she can amazingly switch gears from officiant to wedding coordinator and rock that too. She created an amazing timeline for us, took charge of our vendors, made sure we were right on schedule with everything, was super communicative along the way. My husband and I most definitely got to enjoy the little things mainly because Ingrid took care of everything behind the scenes that no one sees.”

    Kimberly & Andrew

  • "Ingrid and her team at Grand Entrance Affairs were amazing. They made the whole process of planning, organizing, and coordinating a wedding very easy for a couple that was out of state. Ingrid was very professional and easy to talk to. She was attentive to our needs despite the time difference of us both living in different states at the time. Till this day, we keep hearing compliments about how gorgeous and fun our wedding day was. On the day of, she kept us on schedule and exceeded our expectations. She even recorded our first wedding dance which I still watch every couple months. Don't hesitate to book a consultation with her as she has a lot of experience and knows a lot of recommendations for vendors. I cannot express how thankful I am for Ingrid. We still keep in touch till this day as now my wife and I have two small boys!"

    Mark & Katherine

  • “I had the most wonderful experience with our wedding officiant, Ingrid! From the moment we met, she was warm, professional, and attentive to our needs. She took the time to understand our love story and incorporated personal touches into the ceremony that made it truly memorable. The delivery was heartfelt and sincere, capturing the emotions of the day perfectly. She spoke with such grace and eloquence, making our vows feel even more special. Throughout the ceremony, she maintained a calm and reassuring presence, putting both my spouse and I at ease. She made our wedding ceremony a truly magical experience, and I would highly recommend her services to any couple looking for an officiant or planner who will go the extra mile. Thank you for making our special day so memorable!”

    Amanda & Javier

  • “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' beforehand. 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!”

    Jojo & Kevin

  • "Grand Entrance Affairs is amazing! Ingrid brings excellent service and dedication to any event and really helped us execute our vision of a DREAM wedding. She was personable, reliable, and prompt when working with us and that eased the stress during the planning process! She has excellent organization skills, is detail oriented, and helped keep us on task as well for our event. The service she provides is bar none. The big day went by smooth and we owe it to Ingrid for carrying out all those details for us! We still hear about how great and memorable our wedding was from others years later! Thanks Ingrid!"

    Meryl & Randy

  • “Ingrid was the day/month-of coordinator for our engagement party and she did an incredible job! She jumped right in, got in touch with all of our vendors, and helped us identify any gaps while finalizing lots of small details leading up to the event. She is fantastically organized and an amazing communicator - she followed up with reminders to vendors and handled any questions they had. 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. There were things that happened that I didn't even hear about until the next day, which is just a testament to her work ethic, proactive approach, and problem-solving skills. She handled everything flawlessly like the true professional she is. I am so grateful for all of her hard work and the love and passion she puts into her events. I highly recommend her to anyone and everyone for their event planning needs.”

    Ashley & Nik

  • “Ingrid was incredible with coordinating our beautiful Palm Desert wedding! She handled all vendor communication and created a bullet proof day of timeline, considering every little detail. When we ran into a roadblock with our band the week before the wedding she was able to find several other great options for us within 24 hours and all around just brought a wonderful sense of calm and organization to what could have been a very stressful day (especially with our 3 month old son). She handled everything with ease and was lovely to work with the entire way through. Beyond grateful to have had her as our coordinator and would recommend her without a doubt to anyone in the SoCal region. Thank you, Ingrid, for making our wedding dreams come true!!”

    Lisa & Ron

  • "We did not have a typical wedding at a typical venue. Instead we chose to host over 130 of our closest friends and family at an open campground in the middle of the San Bernardino National Forest. This was a huge undertaking as we had to coordinate with several vendors to rent generators, portable toilets, lighting, a dance floor, and everything else that goes with having a wedding in the forest. Ingrid worked tirelessly with my wife to plan all the intricate details of the day. When wedding day came, Ingrid and her team made sure everyone was on task, on schedule, and most importantly having fun! We couldn’t have done it without the team at Grand Entrance Affairs.”

    Hawkin & Jennifer

  • “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, she helped us navigate our wedding through it all and did it with such grace and ease. I'm so glad I hired her 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 dilemma. 10/10 would recommend Ingrid and her team.”

    Debbie & Jamaal

  • “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.”

    Katrina & Alan

  • "Ingrid was a blast to work with and was very friendly, professional and great at her job. She helped make our special day flow effortlessly—and let me tell you, there were a lot of moving pieces. Ingrid was very responsive, efficient and took care of all the fine details. We did not have to worry about anything on the big day and knew that everything would be taken care of by Ingrid. If you are looking for a professional, reliable, and fun person to work with - look no further."

    Charlene & Chris
