RUN, don’t walk, to book Kate as your wedding planner

Kate was our very first vendor and hands down our best wedding investment.
Our wedding planning went from one year to 2.5 because of COVID - Kate guided us through the constant changes, she was always on top of all restrictions and rules, and made sure we had an incredible small ceremony in 2021 and a full reception and vow renewal in 2022, both of which were absolute magic.
Kate has incredible energy and was so much fun to work with. She always made us feel like we were her top priority and understood exactly what kinds of ideas and choices we wanted for our wedding. Incredible attention to detail ensuring every moment has been considered. We had a lot of unique ideas and requests and Kate worked to make sure we had everything we wanted - including ensuring our vision came together in a cohesive way, finding vendors for us that we would have never been able to on our own (like a sushi cake and custom painted running shoes), and creating a beautiful decor package that was better than we ever imagined!
She knew what we wanted before we did.
Kate also worked with all our vendors and saved us so much time and stress, ensuring that all of our details were perfect and providing us with lots of great advice and information, so we were always comfortable with the decisions we were making.
Anyone would be lucky to have Kate be a part of their day (or days!) - and we’ve never been anything short of thrilled to have had her be part of ours.

Pick Kate!

Kate is an angel in disguise! She is super organized and one step ahead at all times - any question I had throughout the process she had an answer for. She has the ability to instill a sense of calm and provides confidence through her obvious experience and knowledge. She has a incredible knack for decorating (thank you again!!) and an eye for detail. She was able to keep our wedding party and families on schedule and in the right location at all times - which is no small feat! I honestly can not imagine how we could have done it without her. I would recommend her ten thousand times over to anyone looking for support on their wedding day. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Kate!!

Made Getting Married So Fun We Did It Twice!

Kate is personable, professional and amazingly talented! We hired her to assist with decor planning, event and month of coordination. She helped us organize our vision and made sure both me and my spouse were represented at the wedding. She calmed nerves by having everything organized and for being an ear to listen to questions and concerns. Kate handled all our vendors and completed the set-up with ease! Our wedding was exactly as pictured.

Oh and she helped us coordinate an elopement (thanks covid) that went off without a hitch thanks to her assistance in advance!

So Amazing!!

Kate was such a vital part of our wedding going smoothly and giving myself the gift of enjoying this special day! I’m a planner at heart and during the pandemic had to plan for 3 different guest list sizes. Kate supported me during this uncertainty. When we shifted from a venue to an acreage wedding she became even more vital with all her knowledge and talent.
The day of she was amazing. I didn’t have to think of anything just go with our timeline and enjoy. She helped guide my cousin who officiated for us. She executed my vision of the day and tent perfectly.
Not once did I think that hiring Kate was not worth it. She was the best decision and even though we went down from 200 to 50 guests she was vital. Give yourself the gift of relaxing a bit on your wedding day and Hire her!!!!!
Thank you Kate for everything💜

Every Bride Needs a Kate!

Every bride needs a Kate! I wholeheartedly believe this, Kate was not only organized, detailed, efficient, and thought of every little thing, she was the kindest, genuine, calm, cool and collected person you could ask to help make your wedding day go smoothly. We hired Kate before the pandemic for month of coordination in August 2021 (though in hindsight, she is so amazing I wish I hired her to plan the whole wedding!), and even during the pandemic she was always reaching out to see if there was anything she could help with. We went from a wedding of 140+ people, to 16 people, and even with 16 people, you need all the help you can get! We were constantly told that the weeks leading up to the wedding would be most stressful, but we never experienced that because we had Kate, she always made sure she removed any and every stress that would come our way, she handled our wedding with such care, attention and detail, but above all, she felt like she was just one of the family. Even our guests keep raving about her! We can't thank Kate enough. If you are lucky enough to be able to have Kate work with you, I would highly highly recommend it!!

Excellent advice and service

I hired Kate for a wedding party event. She had lots of great ideas and sent me inspiration photos to help me create my concept. She always responds to emails promptly. The day of the event she worked hard and made sure everything was perfect before she left. I was very pleased with her service and I would definitely hire her again.
