All the stars in the world!!!

If I could give Katie 6/5 stars, I would!!!!

When we hired Katie about nine months before our wedding, I thought I was a pretty chill bride. Then wedding planning humbled me. There are so many moving pieces, decisions, personalities, timelines, and details that I never could have anticipated. Looking back, I genuinely don't know what we would have done without her.

From day one, Katie made an immediate impact. She helped me think through countless details that never would have crossed my mind, from wedding day logistics and timelines to all of the little things you need to bring and prepare for. Every time I found something new to worry about, Katie already had a plan. There were even a few family situations I was stressed about, and she simply said, "No problem, I'll handle it!" (She did!!!)

Beyond being incredibly organized and talented, Katie is just a joy to be around. Every planning session felt like catching up with a friend. Whether we were grabbing a drink, hopping on a call, or working through wedding details, she somehow made the entire process feel lighter.

I'm a creative person and had a lot of ideas, some of which were all over the place. Katie helped me refine everything into something cohesive and beautiful while still making me feel like the wedding was completely ours. I always felt like I had ownership over the vision, and she helped turn it into something even better than I imagined.

On the wedding day itself, Katie was an absolute rockstar. We had weather concerns leading up to the event, and she kept us calm, confident, and prepared with a rain plan that thankfully we never needed. She knew exactly when to take charge and keep things moving, and exactly when to work behind the scenes so my husband and I could actually enjoy our wedding day.

I can't tell you how many friends, family members, and members of our wedding party came up to us during the wedding and the next day to tell us how incredible our planner was. Multiple people said she was one of the best wedding planners they had ever seen. Watching her in action, I completely understood why.

Brides, if you're looking for someone who will keep you sane, handle problems before you even know they exist, and be the best sidekick you could ask for throughout the process, you've found your person. Katie is truly exceptional!!!!

Katie is the BEST!

Katie was hands down the best money we spent on our wedding. She gave me what I am affectionally calling my princess fairytale dream wedding that was beyond even my wildest imagination. I had a vibe in my head but no idea how to bring it to life. Katie nailed it. Her relationships with other local vendors alone is worth her fee. She was there every step of the way, even when I didn't expect her to be. She is knowledgeable, responsive, and runs a tight ship on wedding day. My wedding day was perfect, and if there was anything that wasn't perfect, I have literally no idea about it so Katie clearly did her job. I cannot recommend Katie/Bubbly Events more highly to any other Wilmington brides!!

Katie is the best!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Katie Lange and her amazing team at Bubbly Events for our wedding on October 11, 2025, and I truly cannot imagine our day without her. From the very beginning, Katie was incredibly communicative, organized, and thoughtful, but what really stood out was how genuinely supportive and invested she was in making our wedding everything we hoped it would be. The very first question she asked us was what our priorities were...not anyone else’s opinions or just a generic “vision”...and that set the tone for everything that followed in the best way.

In the three months leading up to the wedding, her guidance became even more invaluable. She helped us navigate every detail with such calm confidence, always making us feel like we were in the very best hands. From table settings to lighting, DJ recommendations to signage - no question was too small, and no detail was ever overlooked.

The week of our wedding brought an unexpected challenge, a nor’easter rolled in and completely changed our plans. We had to move our cocktail hour indoors, and what could have been a stressful scramble turned into a completely seamless transition thanks to Katie. She coordinated with all of our vendors, handled every logistical detail, and made the entire situation feel effortless from our perspective. Because of her, I was able to stay present and actually enjoy the days leading up to our wedding, which is something I’ll always be grateful for.

On the day itself, Katie was not only incredibly professional and on top of everything, but also so fun, warm, and full of positive energy. Not just me and Pearson, our entire wedding party absolutely adored her. She brought the best vibe to the day and made everyone feel comfortable, taken care of, and ready to celebrate.

Honestly, I wish we could do it all over again just so we could spend more time working with Katie (and her really cute dogs!). She is truly exceptional at what she does, and even more importantly, she is a genuinely wonderful person. She made our wedding day feel magical, smooth, and completely stress-free. We cannot recommend her highly enough!

Katie puts the Bubbly in Bubbly Events

Hiring Katie Lange and the Bubbly Events Team was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! From day one, Katie was not only professional but also genuinely invested in making our day everything we dreamed it could be. She took the time to get to know us as a couple, listened to our vision — including all of our “braindumps” and ideas — and worked tirelessly to bring it all to life. Throughout the planning process, Katie was our personal cheerleader and advocate, always keeping our priorities and vision at the forefront. Her support and enthusiasm gave us so much confidence and excitement as the big day approached.

On the day of our wedding, Katie and her team were nothing short of amazing. Every detail was flawless, and because of them, we were able to relax, enjoy each moment, and soak up the day. Katie’s calm, organized presence was so reassuring, and she kept everything running perfectly without us having to worry about a thing. Our wedding day was beyond what we’d imagined, and it wouldn’t have been possible without her dedication and talent.

We wholeheartedly recommend Katie and her team to anyone planning a wedding. Working with her should be a top priority for anyone wanting a stress-free, unforgettable experience. Thank you, Katie and Bubbly Team — we are forever grateful!

The BEST Wedding Planner

From the moment we met Katie Lange, we knew we were in capable hands. Throughout the entire journey, from the initial planning stages to the big day itself, she provided us with a level of comfort and guidance that exceeded our expectations.

One of the most remarkable aspects of working with her was her ability to solve any issue that arose seamlessly. No matter how big or small the problem, she tackled it with grace and professionalism, ensuring that our special day proceeded. Her reassuring presence made us feel secure and allowed us to relax and enjoy every moment.

On the day of the wedding, she truly went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. From fluffing my dress to checking in on my bridesmaids during the getting ready process, she was there every step of the way, ensuring that everyone felt comfortable and supported.

Her attention to detail and dedication to her craft were evident in every aspect of her work. Thanks to her expertise and tireless efforts, our wedding day was everything we had dreamed of and more! We cannot recommend her highly enough to any couple looking for a wedding planner who will not only meet but exceed their expectations. Thank you for making our special day truly unforgettable!!!

A Truly Incredible Experience

When I first started planning my wedding, I knew I wanted to book a planner early on. I was nervous, of course, because I wanted to make sure I made the right decision when picking the person to help me organize one of the biggest days of my life. After reaching out to several people, I got a return email from Katie & Bubbly & she helped me set up our initial phone call. We were on the phone for 5 minutes & I knew she was it! I still feel that working with her was one of the best decisions I made in all of the chaos of wedding planning.

I truly struggle coming up with the words to say just how amazing Katie is. She is so easy to talk to, prompt with her communications, always reassuring when things get stressful & is full of important advice for the novice planner. She helped me work through my sticker shock & gave me realistic ideas of a possible budget. On wedding day, I never felt like anything was going to go wrong because I fully trusted that she had everything under control. Even when my dress got a small makeup stain on the train, she sat down behind me, scrubbed it out & handled it with ease. No issues (at least that I knew of lol). Our family & friends talked about her for weeks after wedding day & were, to say the least, very impressed at how orderly & organized things flowed.

I could go on & on but essentially I’m saying, hire her to help you plan your special day. You will not regret it. We honestly could not have done it without her & appreciate all of the hard work she put in for us. 10/10, highly recommend! Thank you Katie & Bubbly ❤️

Phenomenal & Indispensable!!!

Wow. How do we even attempt to describe how beyond brilliant Katie is and how essential Bubbly Events is to planning the big day. What she did for us and how she gave us the most unforgettable wedding day is hard to put into a simple review. We’re going to try, but simply chat with Katie and you’ll begin to see! Our first meeting with her was an eye-opener to the planning process, but she calmly begin navigating us through it all with complete ease. She is such a genuine person and her professionalism is first-rate. There isn’t anything Katie doesn’t think of (usually before you) and that she doesn’t take care of (some you’re not even aware of until afterwards) with supreme efficiency! From her easy going demeanor to her detail-oriented mind, she knows all the right questions to ask to make sure you are covering everything. She fits around you and your process all the while gently keeping you on track - with two brides this was no small task. She does it all with joy because there is no doubt that this is her passion and she loves every bit of it. Everyone loves her and we mean everyone. . There was not a single other vendor that didn’t praise her work and adore Katie! Honestly, her presence throughout the venue was the most assuring thing that every part of the wedding would run smoothly. It did 🤍 We wouldn’t have had our day be as amazing or worry-free without Katie and her team. An awesome wedding wrangler as our families agreed! Truly, she is the best. Hire her. There’ll be no regrets, but so many laughs. We are eternally grateful. Thank you Katie! All our love, Chelsey & Emily

We did a wedding with Bubbly Events at the Brooklyn Arts Center in Wilmington. They did an amazing job. The venue looked gorgeous and they kept up in the loop the entire day. It was a real pleasure to work with Bubbly Events.

I worked with Katie and the team at a beautiful Scottish themed wedding on a Sunday morning. As an Officiant, I am often distracted from the task of ceremony by organizational issues, but the Bubbly team gave me one of the most beautifully organized events I have ever experienced. Katie has that amazing combination of knowing how to manage organization, the timeline, and people. Especially the people! She makes the herding feel like part of the fun. I walked away from that ceremony knowing we had created something magical, and a lot of that was down to Katie and her team bringing a wonderful focus and joyful attitude to even the smallest task. I can't wait to work another Bubbly wedding, and watch things fall in to place with a smile once again. Five stars. Outstanding!
