The adventure first began in 2011 when I accepted a job with a wonderful wedding coordination company which was originally based out of Atlanta, Georgia. I quickly discovered just how passionate I was for this crazy, whirlwind of an industry and by 2012 I was thrilled to launch Southern Grace Events.
​
Fast forward to 2016 when I met the Chandler's who were in the process of building Chandler Oaks Barn. Once again, I was offered a dream position. I cheerfully accepted the role as event and venue manger for the sweet Chandler family. We held our first event at Chandler Oaks in March of 2017 and the rest is history.
Planning, designing, organizing details and connecting people brings pure joy into my life and I am so thankful for the gifts, talents and opportunities the Lord has blessed me with.
I truly love what I do.

Our Story + Our Team
Amy Brooks
Owner + Founder
"Weddings and events have always been my passion. I drove my poor, sweet, wonderful mother absolutely crazy growing up because every year, I insisted on sitting her down for hours at a time and planning my next birthday party a solid 6 months in advance (sorry mom) but it led me here!
​
I have too many favorite parts of a wedding to narrow down one particular moment. I love it all from planning the details, learning a couple's specific style and story, connecting the vendors, to setting up ALL the killer decor our brides have hand picked. I also melt over the moment a bride sees the reception space completed or when her groom sees her walking down the aisle toward him. Gosh, I seriously love it all. If I had to choose, I guess one of the moments that would be the most meaningful to me personally would be hugging our tear filled, smiling couples and their families at the end of the night just as they begin to express what a wonderful time they had. Those are tear jerker moments for me. All the hard work is for that moment ."

Meet Abby:
Lead Coordinator
"Weddings are full of such joy and paint a beautiful picture of the love two people have for each other. The walk back down the aisle is my favorite part of a wedding when the bride and groom have a face that says, 'we did it!' That's the best."
(Abby also works in our floral department and is the owner of September Magnolia Florals - be sure to check her out!)
