“We want you to have EVERYTHING you want!!” Katie would say this to me thru out the planning and execution of our wedding. This is the best way I can introduce the Katie Brooks team – they truly did EVERYTHING to give us EVERYTHING we dreamed! Hiring Katie and Anna Blue was absolutely the most important decision my husband and I made. I’m the mother of the bride and it is my honor to write this review. It’s been 60 days since the wedding day, and I still get chills when memories swirl in my head! Each of every memory would only have happened with the amazing creativity and expert coordination of Katie and Anna Blue.

My daughter got engaged right before she was moving for a new job in Nashville, TN. Her fiancé was working in Roanoke, VA. And we wanted to have the wedding in Charlotte, NC. Needless to say, we were starting this process with some unique challenges! Then, my daughter and I chose a venue which would require all vendors to be hired individually. We quickly realized we needed help, so I started interviewing coordinators. In our first phone call, I instantly felt a connection to Katie! Her enthusiasm and energy were a perfect match for us and our needs. When we met Katie and Anna Blue in person at the venue, the inspiration board they created allowed us to see the beginnings of what would ultimately be a wedding event that perfectly reflected the personalities of our daughter and son in-law.

Once the mood had been chosen with colors and overall concept, Katie and Anna Blue secured the vendors that would make the wedding event spectacular! They keenly matched us with vendors who would understand the physical vision we hoped to achieve. I craved the look of draping vines and lights to create a lush and romantic feeling. This was extra challenging in that the venue had restrictions on hanging items from the ceiling and the walls. Katie was determined to construct it regardless of the hurdles. She worked with the florist to design a custom sculptural installation of vines and flower stems that showcased the head table and served as the inspiration for the overall floral scheme. Then, Katie worked with the rental company to design a tent plan that perfectly complimented the patio area for the cocktail hour and thru out the evening. To achieve the final look, Katie designed a brilliant arrangement for the dining and dancing areas with such precision and creativity, the venue simply came to life! She and Anna Blue completed the design with beautiful table dressings set apart with handmade stationery and stunning accessories that captured the candlelight and florals just right. Katie’s dedication to deliver our vision was the key to setting the scene for a romantic, intimate, family and friends extra fun celebration!

Dinner, photography, and music were also extremely important to us. Katie encouraged us to consider a family style dinner with a caterer she thought would be our best option for a sit-down meal. Working with this caterer was a dream and we never would have found them without Katie – she has developed lasting relationships with vendors who deliver nothing but excellent quality, artistic talent, and personal care for their work. This was also the case with the photographer and the DJ. Both of these professionals seamlessly joined in our celebration while guiding us thru the event taking the greatest of attention to capture all the special moments Katie knew we wanted. The vendor team Katie and Anna Blue put together and led that day helped us give our daughter and son in-law a wedding event blessed with love, laughter, celebration, and magic! THANK YOU KATIE AND ANNA BLUE!!!

My husband Andrew and I got married almost two months ago now, and it has taken me this long to write a review because I cannot get over how absolutely magical our wedding weekend was - and so much of that is due to Katie, Anna Blue, and team!


Let me start at the beginning. Shortly after we got engaged in April 2023, I got to work to start researching planners in the Charlotte area. I did not grow up here, but live here now and it is where Andrew and I met - so we wanted all of our people to come be in “our city” for the wedding. My mom and I started setting up phone calls with different planners, and I vividly remember after getting off the phone with Katie that we looked at each other and said “wow, she is who we are looking for!” She was professional and kind, and really demonstrated that she knew her stuff from that initial call. It just felt like we clicked immediately! Not to mention she emailed us afterwards right away. It was basically a no-brainer that she should be the one planning our wedding.


Throughout the year, the whole team at Katie Brooks Event Co. were so on top of things - they are so responsive and kind! I had a habit of sending emails with 500 questions about different things in them, and they always answered back punctually and thoughtfully. When it came to the design, I simply shared my Pinterest vision board and the girls truly made it come to life - even better than I could imagine! They also managed vendors so well along the way, and made what could have been a stressful process juggling so many different moving parts just SO easy.


By the time we got to wedding weekend, I felt so at peace. I knew that if anything came up, Katie and team would 100% have it covered. In fact, one of my Bridesmaids who knows me extremely well kept saying “you’re so calm, it is freaking me out” - that is how uncharacteristic this was for me! Little things came up throughout the day, but Katie, Anna Blue, and team took control before it ever got to me to stress about. They handled both the Rehearsal Dinner and wedding, and I am so glad we had their help all weekend.The entire was so magical! The design was impeccable throughout, but the reception space is truly still so vivid in my mind. It made me feel like a Disney princess in an enchanted garden, and was just so stunning!


I am sad for the wedding to be over for so many reasons, a large one that I truly started to think of Katie and Anna Blue as dear friends throughout our year working together. I want to reiterate how incredible thoughtful, organized, creative, and so so so kind they are. They are truly gems in this space, and I could not recommend them enough! I can’t wait to see how they continue to shine in all of the weddings they plan!


Thank you for everything!!!!
Kristy & Andrew Guthner

The Groom…yes, the Groom is writing this review 1 year after the amazing wedding day that Katie Brookes and her team helped us plan. Even after a full year, the vivid memory of the beautiful wedding day allows this review to be written without the use of pictures or notes. For a little background, my wife and I were able to bid the highest to win the wedding auction that Katie and a team of Vendors put together in support of those families affected by the tragic golf cart accident that took the lives of several people and severely injured others. Through the kindness and generosity of Katie Brookes Wedding planning and the team of Vendors (Katie knows some AMAZING vendors), the money used to bid on the wedding weekend auction went directly to those families affected. This auction and support of the families affected by such a tragedy speaks to the beautiful hearts that Katie and her team have, and we are still in awe of it.

Katie Brooke’s team was phenomenal in helping us bring a wedding vision to reality. Their support in our vision, along with their expertise in planning, coordinating, and day-of services allowed us to have a wedding that exceeded our expectations of what we thought was possible. We were not the type of couple that had it all figured out so Katie and Anna Blue were a perfect team to help guide us through the process, help bring options to the table, and assist in decision making that would result in a day we that was nothing short of magical. From the coordination of vendors to the planning of how things would look and timing of the events of the day, this team in second to none in accomplishing that goal and helping take all the stress away that some might feel on what is one of the biggest days in a couple’s journey together.
Professional, coordinated, timely, confident, passionate, patient, welcoming, calming, positive, encouraging, detailed and some of the many adjectives we would use to describe Katie and her team. The fun we were able to share with Katie and her team made what could be a very stressful process so enjoyable.

We cannot thank Katie and her team enough for helping us have the most amazing wedding day! And we are grateful for the friendship that was created and is still standing. We just cannot praise them enough... amazing at what the do, and amazingly wonderful people! We love you Katie and team!!

11/10!! It’s hard to write how incredibly grateful we are to have found Katie and her team at Katie Brooks Event Co!

My now husband and I are not from NC as we decided to have a destination wedding there after visiting and falling in love with the state! Searching through IG and the internet, I found Katie Brooks Event Co and scheduled a call with them! We connected instantly!

At the time, we already had a few vendors booked, so we were looking for partial planning and day of coordination. Not only did their team go above and beyond to make our day perfect, but they truly became great friends that I miss talking to each week!! It makes me tear up thinking of the incredible wedding day we had thanks to all their hard work! It’s hard to describe how incredibly talented Katie and her team are - they are the BEST!! They gave advice when I needed it, they gave options for us when requested, and made decisions when they knew what to do from past experiences! The. Dream. Team.

I was worried I would be so stressed the day of our wedding (my family was worried about me too lol) because of everything that goes into the big, exciting day! When it came down to it, I was calm and able to soak in every minute and it’s all thanks to Katie and Anna Blue!! ❤️ I knew they had everything organized and under control and trusted them to do what they do best…they did just that and more! Our guests love everything about our wedding day! My family never stopped crying! It was a day filled with happy tears from start to finish!

We are forever grateful to have had them a part of our special day! Thanks, Katie and Anna Blue! Love you gals! My advice to future brides…book the planner!! You won’t regret it - enjoy the moments that matter on your big day and leave the rest to the pros!

Where to even begin with Katie... she is absolutely amazing and was clearly destined to be a wedding planner. When we had our first venue tour, our event manager recommended Katie Brooks Event Co. for both planning services and decor/furniture rentals (check out Bespoke Rentals if you haven't yet!). We initially wanted to hire her for month-of coordination but ended up going with a partial planning package, and she generously included a design board since that was an area where we needed more insight and expertise.

Katie and her team were so thoughtful and communicative throughout the planning process, even when there were complications with our venue. She hadn't dealt with a venue moving before, yet she and her team handled it so graciously and didn't miss a beat. Her vendor recommendations were fantastic and mindful of our budget, and the platform she uses (Aisle Planner) kept us organized every step of the way throughout our year of planning. It contained a to-do list, vendor contacts, budgeting tool, seating chart, and everything else you would need for your dream day.

We came into the planning process with a lot of ideas but weren't sure how everything would come together from a design perspective. Our theme/vibe was midcentury modern + boho with lots of color, florals, velvet, etc. Katie's design board brilliantly captured what we were envisioning, and seeing it come to life on our wedding day was incredible. Everything from the decor to the event flow felt so authentic to us and our vision. Our guests were gushing about how gorgeous, unique, and cohesive it was. It's like Katie crawled into our brains and created exactly what we were hoping for!

We can't thank the Katie Brooks Event Co. team enough for making our wedding so beautiful and seamless. It was a pleasure to work with them and we'd recommend them x100!

This team of girls is the best there is. You won’t find any other coordinator that is as attentive, dedicated, considerate, communicative, or proactive.
Katie & Anna Blue took such great care of us throughout the entire wedding planning process. Answered all of our questions and then went above and beyond with their answers.
Their talent for creating a design board off of inspiration from your Pinterest board is top notch! I literally cried when getting our design board because they took our vision and amplified it to another level that I couldn’t have ever dreamed up myself.
They handled the entire wedding day flawlessly. No awkward pauses throughout the timeline, no rushed transitions; it was all timed out perfectly. And then to top it all off, they handled the clean up of the decor and rentals!
They all had smiles on their faces the entire day and you could tell it wasn’t forced smiles, it was smiles that showed they were as excited about our wedding day as we were.
Truly a wonderful group of ladies that have such a gift for serving engaged couples. I recommend them to every engaged couple!

Katie Brooks Events planned our daughters wedding in 2022 and I cant say enough about the amazing job they did for our family! We had our first call in late February 2022 to start planning for a Sept 24, 2022 wedding. Our daughter and son in law wanted a backyard wedding. Katie and team listened to their wants and wishes and in that short span of time found the vendors, managed all communications, worked within our budget and coordinated every detail to create the wedding of our children's dreams! They were so wonderful and really cared for us through this process like we were family. We just cant thank them enough!!

If you’re looking for a dream team to design and coordinate your wedding — look no further!!! Katie and her team are the best of the best. After quickly realizing there was no way we could plan our own wedding with a 300+ guest count… I found Katie from a CLT wedding Facebook group — and I knew I had to work with her!!! Katie and her team are incredibly organized, detail-oriented, full of energy, and have the best recommendations and advice to make your wedding a dream come true. I had a very specific vision in mind for our wedding and Katie and her team turned my vision into a reality! If you’re looking for a sign on whether or not to work with a wedding design/planning team — this is your sign! I promise you’ll be in the best hands possible and you will not regret it! Katie - thank you, we love you, and are so grateful for you and your team!!!!

I hired Katie and her team to help me plan my wedding in November. Katie and the team were amazing from beginning to end. I had a big vision but did not know how to pull it together. Katie and her team did just that. I highly recommend choosing her add-on option of a design board. The board made interviewing additional vendors very easy and also allowed me to see my vision, communicate my vision, and helped the team keep my vision intact throughout the process. On my wedding day, I was able to 100% focus on getting ready, and not once did I worry about the setup of the venue.

This team was extremely organized and communicated quickly and on schedule. There were times when I had questions for the vendor and the response I got was that the vendor had already discussed my question with the venue.

The team is truly a dream team, you will not regret hiring them!

Katie and her team were absolutely amazing to work with during the wedding process and on my wedding day! As we all know, a wedding can be very stressful with all the last minute details, decorations, coordination, communication, and set up/breakdown that is required... Thanks to katie my day was absolutely perfect and I didn't worry about a single thing. The timeline was seamless, and they made sure every one of my requests was answered and nothing slipped through the cracks. On top of that, they made the venue look amazing!!! It was the most stress free day and I would 100% hire them again!!!!
