Your Trusted Luxury Wedding Planner in Michigan
All Grand Events was founded in 1992 with a vision to redefine luxury wedding and event planning in Michigan. Our journey began in East Lansing, where we initially offered rental and floral design services.

Over the past decade, we have cultivated a reputation for exceptional customer service, organic floral artistry, and bespoke event design that captures each client's unique story. Our expertise spans both corporate and wedding events, with a 50/50 split in clientele since 2019, when we expanded to offer exclusive wedding planning services.
