My husband Andrew and I got married almost two months ago now, and it has taken me this long to write a review because I cannot get over how absolutely magical our wedding weekend was - and so much of that is due to Katie, Anna Blue, and team!


Let me start at the beginning. Shortly after we got engaged in April 2023, I got to work to start researching planners in the Charlotte area. I did not grow up here, but live here now and it is where Andrew and I met - so we wanted all of our people to come be in “our city” for the wedding. My mom and I started setting up phone calls with different planners, and I vividly remember after getting off the phone with Katie that we looked at each other and said “wow, she is who we are looking for!” She was professional and kind, and really demonstrated that she knew her stuff from that initial call. It just felt like we clicked immediately! Not to mention she emailed us afterwards right away. It was basically a no-brainer that she should be the one planning our wedding.


Throughout the year, the whole team at Katie Brooks Event Co. were so on top of things - they are so responsive and kind! I had a habit of sending emails with 500 questions about different things in them, and they always answered back punctually and thoughtfully. When it came to the design, I simply shared my Pinterest vision board and the girls truly made it come to life - even better than I could imagine! They also managed vendors so well along the way, and made what could have been a stressful process juggling so many different moving parts just SO easy.


By the time we got to wedding weekend, I felt so at peace. I knew that if anything came up, Katie and team would 100% have it covered. In fact, one of my Bridesmaids who knows me extremely well kept saying “you’re so calm, it is freaking me out” - that is how uncharacteristic this was for me! Little things came up throughout the day, but Katie, Anna Blue, and team took control before it ever got to me to stress about. They handled both the Rehearsal Dinner and wedding, and I am so glad we had their help all weekend.The entire was so magical! The design was impeccable throughout, but the reception space is truly still so vivid in my mind. It made me feel like a Disney princess in an enchanted garden, and was just so stunning!


I am sad for the wedding to be over for so many reasons, a large one that I truly started to think of Katie and Anna Blue as dear friends throughout our year working together. I want to reiterate how incredible thoughtful, organized, creative, and so so so kind they are. They are truly gems in this space, and I could not recommend them enough! I can’t wait to see how they continue to shine in all of the weddings they plan!


Thank you for everything!!!!

Where to even begin with Katie... she is absolutely amazing and was clearly destined to be a wedding planner. When we had our first venue tour, our event manager recommended Katie Brooks Event Co. for both planning services and decor/furniture rentals (check out Bespoke Rentals if you haven't yet!). We initially wanted to hire her for month-of coordination but ended up going with a partial planning package, and she generously included a design board since that was an area where we needed more insight and expertise.

Katie and her team were so thoughtful and communicative throughout the planning process, even when there were complications with our venue. She hadn't dealt with a venue moving before, yet she and her team handled it so graciously and didn't miss a beat. Her vendor recommendations were fantastic and mindful of our budget, and the platform she uses (Aisle Planner) kept us organized every step of the way throughout our year of planning. It contained a to-do list, vendor contacts, budgeting tool, seating chart, and everything else you would need for your dream day.

We came into the planning process with a lot of ideas but weren't sure how everything would come together from a design perspective. Our theme/vibe was midcentury modern + boho with lots of color, florals, velvet, etc. Katie's design board brilliantly captured what we were envisioning, and seeing it come to life on our wedding day was incredible. Everything from the decor to the event flow felt so authentic to us and our vision. Our guests were gushing about how gorgeous, unique, and cohesive it was. It's like Katie crawled into our brains and created exactly what we were hoping for!

We can't thank the Katie Brooks Event Co. team enough for making our wedding so beautiful and seamless. It was a pleasure to work with them and we'd recommend them x100!

11/10!! It’s hard to write how incredibly grateful we are to have found Katie and her team at Katie Brooks Event Co!

My now husband and I are not from NC as we decided to have a destination wedding there after visiting and falling in love with the state! Searching through IG and the internet, I found Katie Brooks Event Co and scheduled a call with them! We connected instantly!

At the time, we already had a few vendors booked, so we were looking for partial planning and day of coordination. Not only did their team go above and beyond to make our day perfect, but they truly became great friends that I miss talking to each week!! It makes me tear up thinking of the incredible wedding day we had thanks to all their hard work! It’s hard to describe how incredibly talented Katie and her team are - they are the BEST!! They gave advice when I needed it, they gave options for us when requested, and made decisions when they knew what to do from past experiences! The. Dream. Team.

I was worried I would be so stressed the day of our wedding (my family was worried about me too lol) because of everything that goes into the big, exciting day! When it came down to it, I was calm and able to soak in every minute and it’s all thanks to Katie and Anna Blue!! ❤️ I knew they had everything organized and under control and trusted them to do what they do best…they did just that and more! Our guests love everything about our wedding day! My family never stopped crying! It was a day filled with happy tears from start to finish!

We are forever grateful to have had them a part of our special day! Thanks, Katie and Anna Blue! Love you gals! My advice to future brides…book the planner!! You won’t regret it - enjoy the moments that matter on your big day and leave the rest to the pros!
