Kate is amazing.

KATE IS AMAZING. I whole heartedly believe I could NOT have gotten through my wedding without her. From the moment I emailed her I knew she would be the absolute best investment I could’ve ever spent on my wedding. Worth. Every. Penny. She checked in on everything the month leading up to the big day. With prompt response time, she was on top of it all.. any problems, details, speaking with vendors, and everything in between. If there was an issue, I didn’t even know because she seamlessly handled everything with grace. She built my entire schedule and itinerary. It was so detailed and easy to follow. She even sent a copy to every single vendor to make sure everyone was in the loop. When the day came she was there from morning to night by my side. She kept me calm, cool and collected, hydrated, made sure I ate, re-applied my lipgloss, fixed my hair and kept everything on schedule. She is not only an amazing event planner but a genuine and great friend. Mentally, physically and emotionally she supported me and kept me together through the process. What I expected to be an extremely stressful day actually ended up being pure bliss. This is all thanks to Kate and her planning/control! Like I said, I could not imagine getting through the day (and even month before) without her. Any future events I know she’ll be my number one go to. I cannot recommend her enough!🤍

Hire Kate!!

We had a wonderful time working with Kate as our wedding planner. We selected her partial wedding planning package; with this service, we worked together as a team during the whole planning process (which lasted one year for us). I enjoyed having a more hands-on role in the planning, but of course had no real idea what I was doing, so Kate’s support and guidance were very much appreciated and needed! She was also a huge help in negotiating with vendors; my husband commented that she “paid for herself” early in the planning process by helping us negotiate with the caterer we loved to find a solution within our budget. From our first conversation, she was consistently respectful of our budget, which I really appreciated as other planners I interviewed made clear that they thought we should spend more than we wanted to spend. Leading up to the wedding day, Kate was essential in preparing when there was a hurricane threatening in the Atlantic—we were able to reserve a last minute rain tent through her contacts, and I was so grateful to have her support during that stressful period! The wedding day itself went off without a hitch, and we had an absolutely amazing day. Thank you so much for everything, Kate!! —Emily & Zach

So amazing!!

I would not have been able to have my wedding without Kate. She was so amazing, helpful, professional and eased all of my worries! Trust me you need a planner!!! You won't have to worry about a thing the day of and I definitely fully trusted Kate. Every time I texted Kate while planning she answered right away which I really appreciated because of how stressful planning can be. I highly recommend working with her!!
