As my Husband puts it, Katie was hands down the best money that we spent during our wedding weekend (which for context was roughly a $100K affair so that’s high praise!). We hired her for the month of coordination package (which starts 6 weeks before the date) for our June 2022 wedding at Stablegate Barn and from the second we had our first call with her I felt like I could let out a sigh of relief. Not only was she SUPER helpful with all of her coordination leading up to the event, I literally don’t know how the day of would have gone without her. She was meticulous and was able to really help our vision come to life. She handled all of the coordination to make the day feel seamless and really let us enjoy the day because we knew that if there was anything wrong, Katie would handle it, and she did. I can’t imagine our wedding weekend without her, she was our coordinator but she was also so much more than that, she was a therapist, she was my dress adjuster, she was a guest shuffler, a schedule keeper, a problem fixer, our venue floral arranger, a temporary stylist when I needed my hair out of my face bc I was sweating and trying to eat and a last minute errand queen. Hire Katie, you will be so so happy that you did and your wedding will be all the better for it!

Katie was absolutely amazing! She helped us manage every detail of our wedding day, even though our ceremony and reception were in different locations. She handled everything behind the scenes so smoothly that we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Katie is so organized, kind, and detail-oriented — thank you, Katie, for helping make our dream wedding come true! 💖

Katie went above and beyond to make our wedding day absolutely perfect. From the very beginning, she made me, my family, and even my kids feel so cared for, it truly felt like she was planning alongside us as a friend, not just a planner.

Her attention to detail was incredible; every little thing I asked for was remembered and brought to life even better than I imagined. She handled every moment with calm and kindness, so I could actually relax and enjoy the day without worrying about a single thing.

If you want a wedding planner who treats your day like it’s her own and makes sure everyone feels special, Katie at Lively Events is the one. I can’t thank her enough for giving us the most beautiful memories!

Katie was absolutely phenomenal to work with. She pulled together every detail of our wedding day and had things running SO smoothly. We had a destination wedding in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado and she flew in from New York just to make our wedding day perfect. Katie did an INCREDIBLE job knowing her stuff, creating connections in the area and being SO fun to work with. Katie is a BLAST. 10/10 would recommend working with her - it's absolutely worth the investment!

Absolutely recommend!!!! My wedding day would have never come together without Katie. From vendor calls, to being flexible to my work schedule & answering my late night texts, to handling small details required for a venue that we had to bring in everything for — Katie was exceptional. I am so thankful I was able to have had her on our special day to allow for the best day of my life.

No need to look any further, A Lively Event is the best choice hands down! Katie is seriously amazing! She was there for us every step of the way answering any and all of the questions we had, bringing up things we may not have even thought about, and making sure everything went exactly as we planned. Her organizational skills and attention to detail is exactly what we needed to keep us from worrying on our wedding day and giving us peace of mind. She was super proactive with our planning and vendors and it felt like she knew exactly what we needed and wanted. She made everyone in our wedding party feel very comfortable and she did so much behind the scenes for us to make sure our wedding day was the best day and exactly what we dreamed of. We are forever grateful for Katie and we couldn’t have done it without her!

I am writing this review from the perspective of a Wedding DJ who has collaborated with Katie in the past. In my experience, the success of every wedding hinges greatly on the quality of service provided by vendors and the chemistry among the chosen vendors on site at the wedding.

As a wedding DJ, we meet A LOT of wedding planners and day of coordinators. Some who really do an amazing job, like Katie, and some that don't do an amazing job. We've noticed great planners usually go hand in hand with great weddings. We love working with planners like Katie because of how smooth and successful the wedding day is. She is so easy to work with from a vendors perspective and you will be at total peace from a couples perspective.

If Katie is available, book her! Your other vendors will thank you.

From our very first phone call I knew that Katie and I were going to get along well. Even though I'm fairly organized our day had a lot of moving parts and I knew that I needed some extra help to make it everything that we wanted it to be. Katie helped me keep everything organized and was always there to answer my questions when I ran into a problem in our planning. In the final weeks leading up to our wedding she made sure that all our other vendors were on the same page and that every detail was covered. On our wedding day she was calm, cool and collected and made sure any bumps were handled and unnoticed by my husband and I. We had the most amazing day ever and Katie was a huge part of that. Katie is incredibly sweet, easy to talk to, resourceful and down to earth. I would hire her again in a heartbeat.

Katie and her team are amazing! They are super friendly and easy to work with . They listened to our " wedding vision" and provided some really helpful recommendations . They were on top of everything allowing us to relax and enjoy the entire process and wedding day. She was available to talk any time leading up to the wedding especially when pouring rain was forecasted for the wedding day. She calmed our nerves and helped create a backup plan that was truly spectacular. Katie did it all with a smile on her face.

Katie and her team are the absolute best! After my daughter and her fiancé picked their date and venue, we knew we wanted a wedding planner to help with the rest. We interviewed different planners, but loved Katie’s warmth and her down to earth approach. After hiring Katie, we never looked back. She helped us picked an amazing team of vendors that made the wedding perfect. She is so easy to work with and was always giving us tips on things we never even thought of. That day she was a rock star! Keeping us calm between the rain drops and presenting great alternates for plans B and C. My friends and family were so impressed with Katie and how she pulled everything together so wonderfully. Thank you a million times over, Katie! From the Seely and O’Toole Families
