Katie was my day-of coordinator for my wedding in July 2020. She was the #1 reason why my fiance and I were able to enjoy our day to the fullest.
I found Katie on Instagram, and we met virtually six weeks out from my wedding day and went over everything I had planned thus far. She took it from there and coordinated with each vendor on their arrival time, confirmed what they were bringing, and got everyone on the same page. It took all of the pressure off of me, which was such a huge relief because I was planning a wedding in the middle of a pandemic. Leading up to the big day, Katie checked in with me regularly to see if she could assist with anything, reminded me of little details that I had overlooked and offered thoughtful advice to ensure I had the best day ever.
Once our weekend arrived, Katie helped direct our rehearsal, which was so helpful. My fiance and our families sat back, relaxed and ultimately lived in the moment. She was kind, yet assertive, and had our best interest in mind while getting any job done well. Anytime somebody had a question, we pointed them to Katie, and she had the solution. Because she was so organized in our meetings prior, she knew exactly what I wanted/needed during the weekend, so she was the go-to girl. While your big day is about you and your soon-to-be-spouse, it is also a big day for your family. They do not need to be stressed or working! Katie allowed all of us to "be where our feet were" and not think about anything else but celebrating our marriage.
On my wedding day, Katie arrived to the venue before I had even woken up. She checked in all of our vendors, delivered the bridal flowers to my suite, made sure we had our meals, sent me small updates of the reception as it was being decorated (just for my peace of mind)...the list goes on. During our reception, she brought my fiancé and I drinks, she adjusted the lights when I wanted it dimmer, coordinated with the DJ to begin prayers and speeches, etc. She even helped tear down at the end of the night and carry gifts to our car. She knew what the vendors needed for pickup at the end of the night and prepared all of the rentals. I can't fit everything she did for us within this word count, but she did EVERYTHING and more. If this says anything, two of my bridesmaids hired Katie for their upcoming events within a week after my wedding because they were so impressed with her. Her price was so reasonable, and if she had charged 5x what it cost me, I still would have hired her. She was worth every penny. If I could give Katie 100 stars, I would. I recommend her to every bride I meet and I will certainly be calling Katie again for any major event I have in the future - big or small.
I am so incredibly, sincerely grateful that I had the opportunity to get to coordinate your big day, Maddie!! You and your family and friends were and are so kind and I would venture to say that your’s was one of the most fun weddings I have ever had the pleasure of being a part of!!

Don't stress, Katie's got you!
There is not enough space to include all the amazing things Katie did for us during our journey to marriage. Katie's kind personality, attentiveness to detail, calm demeanor and incredible organization made my job as a bride x100 times more enjoyable. She was always communicating with me along with all my vendors and created great relationships as she got to know my family and wedding party as well. We love Katie and cannot recommend her enough for everyone's special day!
Molly, you were such a JOY to work with!! I truly loved getting to know you and your family and friends throughout this time together. You two are so special to me!! I love y'all too! Thank you for trusting me to assist in your special day :)

Coordinating Queen!
After seeing Katie in action at my sister-in-law's wedding, I knew I needed to hire her!! She is so organized, detail oriented, and has all the answers for everyone. She is the reason I didn't lose my mind leading up to the wedding (soon-to-be brides, you know the feeling!!) and my fiancé and I were able to spend our wedding day soaking in every moment. She's the absolute best && you won't regret hiring her!
