Grace
Meet
Hi, I'm Grace! I am the face behind Zolana Weddings.
Zolana Weddings was born out of my own journey as a bride — one filled with joy, culture, and love, but also the challenge of finding wedding professionals who truly understood my vision for a multicultural wedding. As an immigrant from Congo, Central Africa, I carry with me the richness of a culture that deeply honors tradition, sacred union, and celebration. In my world, even the smallest moments are worth celebrating — and marriage is treated with reverence and intention.
As a bride who had to plan her own wedding in a foreign country, I found it difficult to find vendors who could grasp the cultural nuances that were so important to me. That experience sparked something in me — a desire to build a space where couples from all walks of life, all cultures, and all traditions could feel seen, understood, and fully celebrated.
That’s how Zolana Weddings was born.

Grace and her team finalized, set up, coordinated the vendors, and made sure things were running smoothly and on time. Throughout the whole process, she was very professional and easy to communicate with
Thank you, Grace and team for helping our vision come to life!
kate + michael
Grace has a very calm and kind demeanor and is willing to work with you on anything you’re feeling stressed about. Her wedding management spreadsheet was a real lifesaver for me in staying organized.
There wasn’t a task too big or small for Grace to volunteer to help with, and it was very clear her heart was in the job
