Big Fat Indian Wedding

After getting engaged Kate Whelan Events was recommended to us. Sarah (Kate's Associate) was bestowed upon us and we knew we wanted her from our first consultation.
Putting together a 4 day "Bollywood movie" was no easy task but she handled everything, including my undulating sanity, with nothing but grace and patience. Sarah made our wedding a spectacular success and we are eternally grateful to Kate Whelan Events for giving her to us. Thank you!

Top-Notch Kindness & Professionalism!

Kate has the rare quality mix of being very supportive, kind and flexible (NO Stress) as well as being VERY professional (early, sharp, extremely attentive and on top of everything) in service to her Brides and Grooms!!

I refer Kate every time one of my engaged couples can use her wonderful services. A wedding coordinated by Kate is always a smooth, fun day!!

Planning a wedding is something most men rarely do. Most husbands-to-be allow their brides-to-be do all the planning. Girlfriends are called up, mother and mother-in-law pick out china patterns, and a gaggle of ladies plan to their hearts content. The men, in my experience, simply must provide the occasional yes or no.

So when two men decide to get married and neither one has the wedding planning gene... well, they need to get a little help.

Enter Kate Miller, who quickly took the hands of two somewhat misanthropic grooms and helped them put on what had to be one of the most amazing weddings ever conceived. While I can stress up a storm at the drop of a hat and my partner is a tad forgetful, she was able to actively engage us and get to know us both as a couple and as individuals.

We knew right away she was the right choice when at our very first meeting she helped us figure out our budget. We were on a tight one. She was able to explain what parts of the kind of wedding we wanted to do were necessary and what wasn't, and she kept us realistic about what we could do. That might sound rather blah, but because she made thing so financially clear she was able to provide multiple options that still got us what we wanted, or helped us find even better options we hadn't thought of before.

In addition, Kate also used plenty of technology to keep things organized. Her team uses a dashboard on their server that allowed us to send messages, assign tasks, share documents, review vendor orders, and keep us on task with timely checklists that kept us on task for what needed doing and when. Kate was always on time with what she needed to do, and kept us on time for the things we needed to do (get suits tailored, send out cards, etc.).

Come the day of there was no stress at all. We knew that Kate was on site and that everything would be handled beautifully. And it was.

I cannot recommend Kate and her team enough. She will ensure that your wedding is perfect.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
