A note about “Day-of coordination” packages: This rarely means JUST help on the actual wedding day. Many brides are looking for help starting anywhere from 3 to 8 weeks out from the wedding, and we’re happy to customize your package with a timeline that works best for you.

Including us in your wedding day plans will ensure a smooth and stress-free environment not only for the bride and groom, but also for the wedding party, families, venue and vendors. Our goal is to work closely with you to ensure we execute your wedding day exactly as you have envisioned. You will be *on time* down the aisle with a perfectly fluffed dress and veil, your wedding party will know where to be and when, you will arrive to a reception space exactly as you imagined it, and we will take care of any hiccups that occur along the way – many times without you even knowing. You and your guests will get to enjoy every special moment of your wedding day while we work seamlessly behind the scenes.

Getting started is easy! Simply reach out so we can chat about exactly what you’re looking for. We’ll set a plan in place that will eliminate many items on your to-do list and we’ll get to work right away. We’re here to take all the hard work you’ve done at planning the wedding so far, polish it up, tie all the details with a bow and produce a magical day that you and your guests will never forget. We look forward to hearing from you!

    Best decision when it comes to wedding planning!

    I hired Kathleen as a partial planner for my wedding and it was one of the best decisions I have made! She made me feel at ease and provided so much great insight and professional experience. There were multiple times where I would text her due to second guessing different aspects of the wedding and she would promptly respond and immediately relieve me of my stress. Day of - she was AMAZING in making sure everything ran smoothly and according to plan, so I did not have to worry. My wedding day was a rainy/ foggy day and Kathleen literally followed me holding the wet train of my dress/ carrying the veil for the entire time we took pictures outside. Overall - the last thing you want to do on your wedding day is worry or stress- Kathleen literally ensures that you do not have to.

    Kathleen is the best!

    My first conversation with Kathleen I knew immediately she was going to be amazing. She was there every step of the way with planning our wedding. Down to the very last detail. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfection and gets back to you right away with any questions. Planning a wedding can be very stressful but with Kathleen's knowledge she made it so effortless. My advice to future brides, wedding planning can be so stressful and Kathleen thinks of every little detail most people don't realize when planning their wedding. Highly recommend!

    Aww, G, thank you so much for your kind words. Your wedding (and all the llamas!!) will be unforgettable. It was so nice getting to work with you (and Big Vin!) on your big day. Thank you for allowing me to design and help plan your wedding. Xo

    Simply the best

    As Mom the bride, Kathleen was awesome helping us with so many details neither of us had time to consider. She's not only adorable, sweet and fun, she is professional.
    Kathleen was super responsive to my many questions asked from which font style to which white works best with our linens. She even found us a mirror in home goods we used as a seating chart. Kathleen prepared a timeline that kept us and the groomsmen on track all day without worrying about logistics. I can't say enough about how awesome she is and how grateful I am my daughter found her.

    Hi Dawn, what a PLEASURE it was to work with you and Dana. Thank you so much for the kind words and for allowing me to be a part of the big day. Xo
