Today we’d like to introduce you to Grace Song

Hi Grace, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
What an incredible journey this has been! My story began during my college years, volunteering with the Korean American Chamber of Commerce in Los Angeles (KACCLA), a dynamic organization dedicated to fostering community and business development. This experience introduced me to the fast-paced world of events, from formal meetings and high-profile conferences to lavish galas and celebrations. Working alongside some of the most influential business leaders and politicians in the nation gave me invaluable insights into the art of planning and executing events that leave lasting impressions.

It wasn’t long before I was handed larger, more complex projects, each one pushing me to grow and adapt to the ever-evolving needs of a vibrant market. To this day, I hold deep gratitude for those early days, when the feedback from attendees and members reassured me that I had found my calling.

We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Grace Song a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Grace, thanks for joining us today. We’d love to start by getting your thoughts on what you are seeing as some the biggest trends emerging in your industry.

The wedding industry is experiencing a wave of innovation, with new trends reflecting couples’ desires for meaningful and memorable celebrations. Experiential weddings are leading the way, as couples prioritize guest experiences that engage and delight. From interactive food stations like build-your-own dessert bars to immersive photo ops and live entertainment, weddings are transforming into events that celebrate not just the couple but also the shared joy of their loved ones. I recently worked with a couple who incorporated a live artist painting their ceremony in real-time, creating a unique and lasting memory for everyone in attendance. This trend challenges planners to think creatively and elevate every detail to ensure guests leave with unforgettable experiences.
