✨ Join me at the River View at Occoquan Wedding Open House! ✨

I’m truly looking forward to spending time with engaged couples at The River View at Occoquan, a beautiful waterfront venue (in Lorton, Virginia) and sharing wedding inspiration, thoughtful ideas, and real wedding moments — like these from one of my past clients.

If you are newly engaged, this open house is the perfect opportunity to:
• Explore the space
• See how your vision can unfold within the venue
• Connect with trusted wedding professionals
• Begin planning with clarity and confidence

If you are just getting started with planning, I would love to meet you, hear your story, and help you plan your wedding with intention — guiding you through each phase so your celebration feels seamless, refined, and beautifully you.

Hi, I’m Kathryne — the planner behind Grace And Virtue Events!

I started Grace And Virtue Events because I truly love planning meaningful celebrations and supporting clients through one of the most important seasons of their lives. I have a natural passion for logistics, timelines, and details, paired with a love for creativity, thoughtful design and overall experience. Planning has always come naturally to me, and I find purpose in bringing every moving piece together with care and intention.

I know wedding planning can feel overwhelming at times. My role is to support you through a structured planning journey and guide you step by step, from our very first conversation through your celebration itself. From vendor coordination to timelines and logistics, I’m always thinking ahead so you can feel calm, confident, and supported throughout the planning process.

What matters most to me is that you’re able to be fully present during your celebration — enjoying meaningful moments with your family and friends while I manage everything behind the scenes.

If a calm planning journey, thoughtful details, and genuine support matter to you, you’re in the right place.

If you’re newly engaged or beginning to think about planning your celebration and want guidance, structure, and thoughtful support, I’d love to connect when the time feels right.

Contact me to schedule a connection call.

At the start of September, our client proposed at Stone Tower Winery in Leesburg, VA. After offering a few location suggestions, the client chose this stunning venue, which they had been planning to visit all summer.

We reserved the Stone Ledge for the proposal and a pergola to enjoy wine and charcuterie afterwards. Family and friends arrived to witness the proposal from inside, surprising the couple with their presence shortly after the proposal and a champagne toast.

Charles from Carrington Visuals beautifully captured photos of this proposal, and you’d never guess it was raining most of the time!

I truly enjoy being part of my clients’ planning journeys, and in celebration of my birthday month, I’m offering something special just for you.

When you book Full Wedding Planning Services in September, you'll receive a complimentary phone audio guestbook for your cocktail hour and reception. Your guests can leave you heartfelt messages, and you’ll receive a digital recording of all the special messages to cherish forever.

Contact me on my website before the end of September to begin the booking process and secure your 2025 wedding date.

I can’t wait to help make your wedding day unforgettable!

My goal is always to be in the background, supporting my clients and ensuring they have everything they need.

When I first saw the second photo, my heart sank. 💔
I never want to interfere with my fellow vendors or disrupt my clients' moments.

Naturally, I apologized to the couple, but they reminded me of my role—to support them fully. And that throughout the planning journey, I had their back. That reassurance touched my heart because it's truly my greatest desire for my clients to know that no matter what happens, I am always there with their best interests in mind.

Of course Carletta G Photo is truly great! She made this photo EPIC!!!!!
I absolutely adore the black & white photo! 🖤🤍

One of the greatest joys in my work is helping to create unforgettable moments at surprise proposals.

In July, our client proposed in Alexandria, VA near the Waterfront, complete with a romantic picnic setup. The client requested sunrise orchids for the bouquet, donuts and a violinist to set the perfect mood. In an especially important touch to the proposal, the Chelle learned "Junoon" by Mitraz, a special Indian song for the couple, in less than two weeks. The music made such an impact that she played it multiple times for the couple!

We can't wait for Chelle from Music by Anthem to do a cover recording of this song! Katie from Katie Lingan Photography was amazing to work with and true to her company name by creatively capturing these photos on a bright and sunny morning.

I am thankful for another birthday!
🥳❤😊🎂🎉
Thank you everyone for all the birthday wishes - calls, texts and songs!

I'm thankful for the ups and downs this past year has brought. I blew out the candle on my birthday treat excited for what this year will bring!


Thank you Danielle Towle Photography for this photo!

Rest In Heaven Grandma

You and Mom were my world!
