Lyla Garrett | Founder of The Grace Collective
The Grace Collective was founded by Lyla Garrett with a simple vision: to create a place where meaningful services, trusted people, creativity, and genuine care could come together to help others celebrate life’s most important moments.
Lyla’s own work through Graceful Blessings reflects that heart. As an ordained minister, Christian wedding and funeral officiant, and premarital coach, she has had the privilege of walking alongside couples as they begin their marriages and families as they honor and remember those they love.
Her background in hotel catering and event coordination has also given her firsthand experience with the many details that go into creating meaningful, well-planned events. But for Lyla, it has never been simply about the event itself—it is about the people, the stories, and the moments they will remember long after the day is over.
That same philosophy became the heart behind The Grace Collective: bringing together services and creative talents that can help people celebrate, remember, give, and create something meaningful.
Grounded in faith, compassion, creativity, and a love for people, Lyla’s vision for The Grace Collective continues to be simple:
Serve people well. Make it personal. And bring a little grace to the moments that matter most.
