Julia H. Married on 06/11/2022Katie is great!
We hired Katie as a month of coordinator for our wedding. Even prior to the month before our wedding we were able to talk to her a few times and start the process early, which was such a huge help! Katie is extremely knowledgeable about all things wedding related and thought of details that we had not even considered. She put so much thought and effort into making our day so special, and even had a several-hours-long zoom chat with us to iron out all of our ceremony and reception details. She was especially helpful the day of our wedding, where she was everywhere at once and took care of every little detail (like handing out our vendor tips so we didn't have to remember at the end of the night, directing our wedding party during the ceremony so we all knew what to do and when to do it, fixing my bouquet when it started to come apart, and being a tide pen wizard by making any stains disappear!) so we didn't have to worry about a thing. We had a lot of vendors the manage at our wedding, and Katie did lots of work behind the scenes to make sure they were all on the same page. If you're on the fence about hiring a wedding coordinator, we'd highly recommend at least having someone there day-of to help you just relax and enjoy your wedding, and Katie is so good at that!A Lively Event's reply:
Thank you so much Julia! We enjoyed being a part of yours and Eric's wedding day! We wish you lots of love and happiness!
XOXO,

Hiring Katie for our big day was easily one of the best decisions we made. I was one of those brides that didn't think I needed a wedding planner/event coordinator - let me tell you - you NEED Katie. Anytime you are unsure about something, she is right there to hear you out. Need to vent about planning? (trust me you will need to several times) - Katie will listen and make time for you. A Lively Event has several different packages to meet your needs and budgets. The bridesmaids and groomsmen adored Katie, our parents praised her as a godsend; I don't know what we would have done without her. We've never had the pleasure of meeting someone so compassionate about their work and making other peoples dreams come true - on one of the biggest days of their lives.

Hi, I’m Katie!
I started my own event planning business sitting in my mom’s living room. It started with planning my son's birthday party and has rapidly grown. I had an amazing support team which included my mom and my son! With their love and support, I went back to college graduated with my Associate degree, the best part of recieving my degree was having my son handed over the wall at HVCC so that he could walk out the rest of the way with me. I decided event planning was the way I wanted to go went back to school to become a Certified Wedding Planner. In May of 2016, I graduated Summa Cum Laude with my Bachelors degree in Event Management, having my son in the audience watching me, was the best part of it. I love being able to show him you can do anything you set your mind to.
I am so happy to do what I love for a living and thankful for every event that I have been a part of and for all of the new friends I have made along the way. I hope this has given you a little insight into my passion and heart. If you'd like to know more, please do not hesitate to ask.
I look forward to seeing how I can coordinate an "A Lively Event" for you!
XOXO,
Katie
