Candyce Gregory
Wedding Coordinator
I’ve always believed that life’s most meaningful moments deserve to be celebrated with heart, care, and a touch of magic. As a mom of four and happily married for 24 years, I’ve spent countless weekends cheering on my kids at their games, camping with family, and soaking up time at the lake. I find joy in the details—and that same joy fuels my passion for events.
Before joining The Regency, I spent over a decade supporting leadership teams in education, working closely with superintendents, principals, and activity directors to help schools run smoothly and events shine. Most recently, I’ve had the privilege of working with one of the largest fundraising event companies in the country, helping nonprofits bring their missions to life.
Now, I bring that same dedication and energy to The Regency. My mission is simple: to ensure every couple’s vision is honored, every detail is cared for, and every smile is earned. Seeing a bride and groom light up as their dream unfolds—that’s the greatest reward
