'But hospitality must be for service, and not for show,
or it pulls down the host.'
{Ralph Waldo Emerson}
The Graceful Host was started in 2007 in Minnesota as a company to help hosts of all kinds plan great events for their guests. Weddings, celebrations, not-for-profit fundraisers were the majority of the events planning Minnesota. In 2009 The Graceful Host was moved to North Carolina and a focus was put onto weddings and the events surrounding wedding celebrations. Other celebrations and events are still a very important time to value your guests, but a wedding is unique. Most modern-day weddings have guests that travel near and far for the festivities. The event itself should be one to thank those friends and family for their love and support, to truly appreciate their joining in on the 'big day'!

Hello, I'm Heather, commonly known to my clients as 'HG'. I started The Graceful Host and run the company as the lead planner. My favorite event to host at home would be brunch, people never spoil themselves with mimosas or belgian waffles, so we serve those in mass and send our guests home ready for an afternoon nap! My husband and I have been married for almost 8 years. We have 2 kitties and a baby on the way!
