As a second-generation teacher and a mother, Stacie Griffin has always had a passion for working with children. She knows how tough it can be to find dependable babysitters, and she understands the even bigger challenge of managing them during events.

That understanding inspired her to create something weddings and other big events have been missing: on-site childcare. From coloring books and reading nooks to dinosaurs and bouncy balls, Griffin’s The Wedding Nanny Concierge offers activities that meet a wide range of children’s needs, bringing a new level of ease to events and allowing kids to join in on the fun. While the service focuses on weddings, it also supports a variety of events where on-site sitting services can make a big difference.

“There was a time when I had friends getting married, and they had no-children weddings,” explains Griffin. “As a parent, I experienced how hard it is to find a babysitter, especially when your family is going to the same event.”

Her family plays an important role in the business. With a retired kindergarten teacher for a mother and a niece who is learning the ropes, Griffin’s team is rooted in experience and a genuine love for kids. She says that seeing children, parents and couples enjoy themselves at events is her biggest motivation. “Watching the events run smoothly without the crying or parents having to walk out with their child helps me know that I’m making a difference,” she says.

With parents enjoying a guilt-free night out, newlyweds and hosts can spend time with fully present guests. And while parents are always welcome to stop by the designated childcare space to check in or drop off snacks, Griffin ensures that all ring bearers, flower girls and other little guests stay safe and receive what they need throughout the event. The Wedding Nanny Concierge’s mission is to create events where guests of every age can be a part of and enjoy the memorable moments.
