"Ankie officially began planning weddings in 2013. Her life from an early age was filled with moments of coordinating parties, fulfilling schedules for her line of work, to managing sports tournaments. It wasn't until her early twenties that she had her first opportunity to plan a wedding and she quickly realized that she had a gift and passion for event planning. What started off as a hobby, led her to pursuits of creating Gracious Beginnings with business partner, Grace. After managing several weddings through the years, Ankie has also worked in different areas of event planning. Her experience in event planning ranges from conferences and worldview debates; to milestone events such as anniversaries, showers, and birthdays. With her love for event planning and organization, Ankie excitedly looks forward to being apart of your special occasion!"
