About Macy Grace
Hello everyone! My name is Macy and I am the daughter of Tammy Meinhardt, founder of Macy Grace Events. Our company is committed to coordinating occasions exuding class, grace, thoughtfulness, creativity, and gratification delivered from a place of passion, love, and kindness.
One thing you may notice is that Tammy’s name is not in the title. When my mom came to me and told me she was going to use my name for her event planning company I was incredibly honored and offered to be the writer of her page. It’s important to know that Macy Grace’s core values are a direct reflection of my mom's spirit and personality. While she is a woman of MANY talents talking about herself and giving her skills the justice it deserves will never be one of them. However, to know this company is to know who Tammy is on both a professional and personal level, and since I have been lucky enough to see her on both sides I am very excited to sit and illustrate her story and background for y'all.
For as long as I can remember, my mom has utilized her gift to make sure I have the best and most memorable things. From extravagant birthday parties to sparkly dance costumes to elaborately wrapped gifts to school projects, etc…. If it was created by my mom Tammy it was damn certain to be the most ornate and creative idea out of them all. Around school I was always also known as having the ‘crafty mom’ and it wasn't long until people started to flock to her for help on their own projects. Everyone wanted to know what the secret was behind my mom's work, assuming it must have been from the type of products and services she used or how much time she dedicated towards it.
However, her magic was never found in either of those things….she could have a budget of $20 and a 2 hour time limit and still make the party look like it was planned by a top-notch luxurious coordinator.
Rather, the key ingredient to my mom's work is something that money and time just can't buy nor can be taught which is her genuine passion and love for creating memorable events for others. Passion and love for her work is the explanation behind why Tammy can effortlessly transform a plain ballroom into a space straight out of a fairy tale book, pay close attention to the minuscule details that most people would brush over, and find time and energy to go the extra mile for each of her clients.
Stripped of the inherent bragging rights and bias I have towards her as her daughter, I truly think this is what makes Macy Grace Events so special and unique. It's that passion and love are the driving forces for her work ethic rather than financial and personal benefit. In fact, she spent many years never requesting a dime or ounce of recognition for any of her work with others. Not because she didn't feel like it wasn't deserved, but mainly because she genuinely enjoyed using her gift to make other people happy, and seeing their faces light up with excitement and joy was enough to fulfill her.
To wrap this up, not only is Macy Grace an extension of who Tammy is, but it is also a culmination of the people who have molded her into the person she is today. The unconditional love, support, and inspiration from the people closest to her both in life and spirit are the pieces that manage to bring grace into our company name. To my Mother grace means patience, elegance, smoothness, and courtesy and in the often hectic and tedious world of event planning, she has selectively chosen a team that will ensure this virtue prevails. By implementing grace within our company name, we are not only reminded every day as associates what these words mean but also the commitment we have made to reflect this standard as we work to deliver our clients the event of their dreams.
