Definitely Recommend

We do not know what we would have done without Katina. She has so many contacts with vendors, has years of experience, and is easy to deal with. My daughter had a specific vision for her wedding and Katina immediately saw it, embraced it, and made it happen. She is the only one I would use in this area to plan your wedding. Worth every penny and way more!

Katina is absolutely amazing!

Katina Dawson is one of the best people I have ever met. I work in the wedding industry in Southern Delaware. I have had the pleasure of working with Katina in a professional setting for years. So, when Colin asked me to marry him, it was a no-brainer who we were going to use as our wedding planner. We met with Katina one morning for coffee and that only solidified that we made the best decision ever. Katina was with us through the whole wedding planning process. She kept me on track, helped me make decisions when I couldn’t figure it out and made miracles happen the day of the wedding. We got married the day Hurricane Ian was SUPPOSED to run through Delaware. It was a bit rocky the week before and we didn’t know what was going to happen. Katina kept calm, had a plan for everything and the day turned out better than I could have ever imaged. The storm held off 24 hours for us to have the most perfect day with the help of Katina and countless other amazing vendors. We had the most gorgeous rain plan and got married under Coastal Tented Events’ stunning sailcloth tent. The whole reception was designed with Katina. Katina was always at the perfect place at the right moment. When I didn’t know where to go, she told me where I needed to be. When the confetti cannons needed to be shot off, she was right there to do it! My personal favorite – when my dress needed to be fluffed right before I walked down the aisle, she was there! (Picture Included.) Katina is one of the best wedding planners I know. You would be lucky to have her on your side through the wedding planning process! She has one of the most infectious, fun and genuine personalities. I can say that Katina made wedding planning easy. She made it fun. She helped give Colin and me the most amazing day. I could not have even imagined in my wildest dreams that our wedding was going to be that stunning, that much fun and that perfect. We love you, Katina!

Katina is amazing!

Hiring a wedding planner was probably the best decision we made when it came to planning our wedding in Bethany Beach, DE. Katina was so professional, sweet, communicative, and it was another added bonus that she had close professional relationships with most of the other vendors we chose for our special day. Our day would not have been as smooth and perfect without her! Thank you for everything, Katina!

The best decision we made

I don't know what we would have done without Katina. The woman is a superhero - she flawlessly juggled all of our vendors, some local and some out of state, coordinated our timeline down to the minute, pivoted without missing a beat when we needed her to, and kept us both calm even in the midst of a torrential downpour two hours before our beach wedding. She is the friendliest, most organized and professional event planner we could have asked for; I would trust her with absolutely anything. If you're looking for a coordinator to make sure your wedding day is the best day of your life, you won't find anyone better.

Best Wedding Planner!

Katina is the absolute BEST! She is organized, kind, and patient. We had to reschedule our wedding multiple times because of the pandemic and she coordinated with every vendor for availability each time. She is creative and makes the wedding planning process and day of wedding a breeze. She is always two steps ahead and takes care of things before you even think about it! She is extremely dependable and answers right away. She made sure I had the wedding of my dreams.

A Sweet Affair is the BEST! Katina is above a 5 star review. She has all the qualities of a superb Wedding Planner! Katina is easy to talk to, prompt, dependable, responsive, and detail oriented. Her creative ideas are amazing. She kept us on task and organized from the first planning session and then coordinating with the vendors for over a year throughout the pandemic! My daughter’s wedding at the Yacht Club in Ocean Pines, Maryland, was a huge success in every way because Katina attended to every detail! She creates a fresh and hip vibe and so much fun!! Definitely the Best Wedding Planner! If you are interested in getting married in Ocean City or Eastern Shore of Maryland, she is a must!

Katina is absolutely wonderful! I reached out to her less than 2 months before my wedding because I couldn’t handle it on my own anymore. She took all of the stress from me and put it on herself. All 7 of my (already married) bridesmaids commented on how amazing she was & how she rocked it. Just say YES. It is worth every penny. She was incredible. My husband and I were supposed to get married on the beach at the Big Chill Beach Club, but due to hurricane conditions (45mph winds & rain), we not only couldn’t get married on the beach, but were evacuated from the events tent for safety concerns and moved to the main bar area. Katina was amazing the whole time and weathered it all with us. She made sure all of my detailed decorations were brought back safely and really went above and beyond for us. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER SERVICES! You will not be disappointed.

At our first meeting with Katina, she assured us that everything would be perfect. By the end of our wedding, we knew she was right! Katina helped us relax throughout the planning process and coordinated with all of our vendors. She helped us schedule our day – we didn’t realize how complicated that would be – and worked with our venue to make sure everyone was on the same page. On the big day, she keep everything running smoothly and made sure we got where we needed to be, when we needed to be there. Katina was an essential part of our day and a joy to work with. We can’t thank her enough!

Katina made our wedding day run so smoothly that my husband and I did not need to stress about anything on the actual day! I would definitely recommend do anyone planning a wedding. She also brought up many tips for planning that I would not have thought of otherwise. Definitely worth the money, and she offers very reasonable prices.

Last weekend our son was married at the Maryland Zoo and "A Sweet Affair Wedding and Events" handled all those tedious items a wedding entails. (Our daughter also used the same service 5 years ago.) Katina's expertise and experience were again evident! She was on top of EVERYTHING and EVERY DETAIL. We so appreciated all that she did before, during and after the big day - her presence made the day stress free for the bride and groom. Would highly recommend her excellent services to any couple planning their "special day." Well worth it!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
