Not Your Average Event Planner

We were excited to learn all about Sweetgrass Social and how they have gotten where they are today, so we sat down with the owner, Jacqueline Volz.

The first thing we wanted to know was what it is that makes Sweetgrass Social stand apart from its competitors. Jaqueline told us that she grew up in South Carolina, with florists as parents, so she grew up in the event planning world. Jaqueline told us that one of the benefits of having a co-owned company is that there is always a ghost-planner ready to work with you in case anything happens to your planner. Together, they focus on offering their clients the best possible experience. At Sweetgrass, they develop personal relationships with their clients so that they can create an event that is reflective of each clients’ individual personality. Jacqueline said:

“Your event is unique to you, and we design with that in mind.”

She continued:

“We know that it can be scary to host an event that may have some elements that haven’t been seen before, but that’s the point. We want to create spaces that are new and innovative. Every space should have a ‘wow’ factor, and we can show you how.”

Building Success Over Social Media

Sweetgrass Social has earned an incredible reputation, so we were excited to hear about some of the ways they have gotten their name out and grown their business. Jacqueline told us that they focus on their social media presence because it’s the best way for people to see and understand their business. They have also seen the benefit of online reviews, and will always send a follow-up email to their clients, asking for a review.

There are many businesses out there that are looking to build as impressive a reputation as Sweetgrass Social has managed to. We asked if Jacqueline could share any expert advice with these companies. Here’s what she had to say:

“Focus on your social media outlets. It helps people understand your business.”


Congratulations to Sweetgrass Social for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and special thanks to Jacqueline for taking the time to speak with us!
