Scout & Grace
So, where did the name Scout and Grace come from? Scout and Grace are the middle names of our owner's daughters! When Miriam moved to Charlotte she decided to start a new company with a completely new brand. She couldn't decide on a name, then it hit her, use the cutest names of all!
(You may be confused by this, because Miriam only has one daughter - well, her oldest baby girl is in heaven)
Miriam Ackerman
Owner | Principal Planner | Lead Designer
I have been a certified wedding planner since 2001. I started my career working as a catering manager/private event director in different country clubs, city clubs and high end wedding facilities. In 2011 I decided to focus on weddings and became a full-time wedding planner. Then in 2017 my husband was relocated to Charlotte, NC where I decided to launch a new company!
I love helping couples achieve their dreams and planning their amazing weddings and events! I live in the country with my husband, daughter, 2 dogs, rabbit, and chickens! We love spending time together pretending to be homesteaders! I also love musicals and at any given moment you may hear me singing a show tune!! Coffee is my drink of choice, you can always find one in my hand. And crazy fact about me - I know sign language!
