Stress free Wedding planning experience!

Working with Designed & Detailed was one of the best vendor decisions we made for our wedding. During the initial consultation call with Alison, we felt reassured that we would be genuinely supported throughout the process. There is no way our wedding day would have gone as smoothly without our lead planner, Katie. Throughout the 3 months leading up to our wedding, Kate was communication with us and our other vendors on a regular basis to refine the day of timeline and coordinate day of setup. She brought up questions that we had not considered and presented ideas that we loved. Katie’s help at the rehearsal dinner was incredibly beneficial, especially since none of us had facilitated a ceremony in the past. We appreciated her focus and ability to reel everyone in. Her communication and rapport with the other vendors was so important to us and something we recognized throughout the planning process. On the day of, Katie and Jenna (our assistant coordinator) collaborated so well with our DJ and photographer to ensure the best day. Everything went perfectly and better than we could have dreamed. Her communication with us and support throughout the day was so helpful and helped ease our nerves. We can easily say that we were not worried about a single thing because we knew they had it under control. We had complete trust that they were going to execute our vision just as we had hoped (which they absolutely did), and if something were to have gone awry, they would have troubleshooted it without any problems. Katie and Jenna from Designed & Detailed were both absolutely instrumental in making the entire weekend flow seamlessly. We are so grateful they made entire process so smooth and beyond happy we decided to work with their team.

Katie is amazing

We used Designed and Detailed for our October 2023 wedding. We had the pleasure of working with Katie as our lead event specialist, and she was truly the best! Katie was always available to answer questions and help us through the planning process before the wedding. On the day of, Katie was amazing. She was always there to help us with anything we needed and was always thinking one step ahead. There were small details and problems that she took care of that my husband and I didn't even realize occurred. Her and her team set everything up and took everything down at the end of the night and brought to our hotel room, which was so helpful and made our day so much more enjoyable. Katie was so personable and made everyone feel comfortable on the day of our wedding. She had everything a bride, groom, or wedding party could possibly need. I truly cannot say enough amazing things about how hard Katie worked and how awesome of a person she is! We were so lucky to have worked with her on our wedding!

You NEED a Coordinator!

We worked with Katie at Designed & Detailed and I am so glad we did. Our ceremony and reception went so SMOOTHLY because of Katie and her assistant. I am pretty type A so it is hard to give up control but Katie handled me and everything else so well. We purchased the 90-day package so we had a few meetings with Katie leading up our wedding day with one last meeting a few days before where we finalized all details (lots of emailing in between). I found all of my vendors but Katie coordinated them behind the scenes and found solutions to issues that would have freaked me out (e.g., cake delivery times did not line up with venue drop off times). I can't imagine trying to figure all that out myself. I highly recommend hiring Designed and Detailed so you can be as stress-free as possible on your wedding day!!
