Your wedding or event is just as unique as your love, your story. I believe that every celebration deserves that extra kiss of magic. As full, partial or concierge service event planning company, A Charmed Affair was born out of my excitement to celebrate life, to celebrate moments, and to celebrate you! I am IEWP (International Event and Wedding Planner) certified, a certification recognized through ABC (The Association of Bridal Consultants) as well as AFWPI (The Association for Wedding Professionals International). I have been planning events for the past ten years or so, focussing strongly on creating an overall magical day, and developing a warm, inviting environment to both the guest(s) of honor and all attendees. I believe that everyone deserves to be celebrated, and I'm here to ensure that regardless of the event type, birthday, wedding, shower, communion, family reunion, etc., that my hosts are able to enjoy the whole process of the affair. From start to finish, engagement to honeymoon and anywhere inbetween, let me help make your day magical, and full of charm.
Let us just start off with... we honestly do not think we could of had the wedding we wanted without Kate. She was so much more than just a day-of coordinator. She was with us through every important decision throughout the entire planning phase from coordination with our caterer, to design element decisions, to reaching out to our venue to see what certain protocols were, helping us choose a rehearsal dinner venue. You name it!! We knew we did not want a traditional wedding and Kate was a huge supporter-- but she also knew from her experience what was going to work and what ideas needed to be reconfigured slightly in order to work.
She was personally my peace every time I needed her to be and I cannot thank her and her absolutely kick-ass day-enough. We promise you Kate and her amazing staff will be the best and easiest decision you will have to make.

Wish I could have worked with Kate
Kate was an incredible support at the beginning of Covid. We were hoping to get married upstate and Kate went out of her way to make my future mother in law feel comfortable at the venue we were hoping to book. Due to Covid, we decided to go more local and ended up not working with Kate. Though we didn't even officially work together Kate made me feel so special, she was so helpful and informative. She handled the Covid transition with grace and professionalism. I could NOT recommend Kate more for your special day. I hope one day to be able to work with her! (Maybe a no reason celebration of Covid being over party in upstate NY)

Kate, you are a beautiful, gorgeous, shining star of a soul. Where the hell do I even start?! If you are looking to have one hell of a time, the most gorgeous day of your life, a time that not a single person will forget, a setting to make even nature weep…look no further. Kate and her team were absolutely unbelievable. From the day I emailed inquiring to the “big day” and even now, Kate and her entire team have been nothing but spectacularly amazing. Kate was my go-to throughout my entire planning process…we’re talking like almost two entire years worth of planning. School and jobs and life always seem to get in the way of things, so we had some time to figure out the nitty gritty…and she was there through all of it. The stress, the questions, the details, the more stress, obtaining information, solidifying details, helping ease the nerves…you name it. She was attentive to details, responsive to every single annoying (and sometimes what I felt was insane) question, compassionate, kind, generous, and wholeheartedly involved in the entire wedding and then some. She provided me with list after list of referrals and helped me build the best damn team around, and man, DID IT SHOW! The wedding we had was one for the books. She made our dreams come true and then somehow topped them. Every vision, every color, every vibe, every request…she made it all happen. I am so beyond grateful to have met Kate and gotten the chance to work with A Charmed Affair. They are what real life fairytales are made of. Her team was on the scene when I arrived and I seriously felt like my own personal FBI team was escorting me – every one of her teammates was a pleasure to work with and get to talk to. Seth even transported my high maintenance Aussie back to our Air BnB so we could enjoy the rest of our night without worrying about her. We cannot thank him enough for that. Kate orchestrated the entire day and night with ease and without a hitch – even with little hiccups here and there, we didn’t even bat an eyelash because she was so on top of everything. Do yourself the biggest favor of your life and work with A Charmed Affair for your wedding – you will make one of the best decisions you could ever make in the entire planning process if you choose to work with Kate and her team. We love you to the moon and back – thank you for being our planner, our confidante, and for becoming our friend. Much love XOX – Rob & Ash.
Kate from A Charmed Affair is a great planner to have on your team for your wedding or event. Kate has a huge design decor inventory and is knowledgeable about how to use these items to make your event amazing!
