About


Having the opportunity to live, travel, and work coast to coast has been invaluable in my endeavor to become the best event coordinator I can be. This is my passion and I will make your day one of the most memorable experiences of your life.
I grew up in Charleston, SC and attended college at the University of North Carolina at Asheville. I am fortunate enough to have worked at one of the most beautiful wedding and event venues in the southeast, The Biltmore Estate. I have executed weddings and numerous other events ranging from corporate to holiday occasions.
I remained at the Biltmore Estate for 7 years and decided to venture to Breckenridge, Colorado to continue furthering my career in the hospitality industry. I worked for Vail Resorts with their banquet department, helping with the execution of 200 person corporate events and weddings. Planning weddings in the Charleston, SC area has been a dream come true. The professionalism and amazing vendors located in Charleston, SC are one of the best and to be a part of that as a wedding planner and wedding coordinator is so gratifying. We provide month/day of wedding coordination, partial planning and full planning packages. We strive to make your wedding day one of the best days of your life!

Katie was the best wedding planner we could ask for!

When looking for a wedding planner in Charleston, it was very difficult to find a partial planner who was "all in" without the full time planner title. Katie customized her services to our needs while going above and beyond to consider details that we hadn't. She over anticipated every need on the wedding day. My mom is not easy to impress and two months after the wedding, she is still talking about how amazing Katie and her team were! I was not stressed for a moment on our big day and that was in huge part to Katie! If you are questioning booking her, just do it! You won't regret it!!

Book her now!

We booked Katie for the month of coordination package and she was hands down the reason our wedding was so incredible. When initially meeting with planners before deciding to book anyone, a lot of people surprisingly answers "no we dont do that" or "no we cant do that" to so many of our questions. Katie's response to everything, the entire process, was "We will figure it out!". That energy of willingness to go the extra mile for people was truly priceless. Let alone the fact that she is just such a wonderful person to be around! Katie made our wedding planning process seamless, and I truly believe she is invaluable.

Best Coordinator Ever!

Katie is an incredible coordinator! She’s so responsive and keeps everything in order. Although she was our month/day of coordinator, she helped every step of the way. I can’t imagine what our wedding would have been like without her.

Kje is the best

Katie Jean Events absolutely exceeded our expectations. We had the pleasure of working with Katie throughout the entire wedding process as she was our full service planner. Katie and her team truly go above and beyond not only throughout the planning process but on the actual day as well. While planning, Katie helped us stay on budget, while connecting us to other amazing vendors that aligned with our vision. She helped us with everything- from the design process to selecting vendors that were a great fit. She makes the planning process so stress free and enjoyable. Additionally, Katie and her team went above and beyond to make our day absolutely seamless. She created a great timeline that helped us fit everything in that we wanted to do. She really listens to her couples and what they value for their wedding. Katie is so organized, knowledgable, and such a joy to work with. We can't recommend KJE enough!

Amazing, wonderful, perfect

Katie was 1000% the glue to my wedding planning! Unfortunately, we did not find her until we were in a pickle leaving another planner who was a poor fit. Katie swooped in as if we had been with her from the beginning. She made me feel valued as a bride no matter the price range, and she supported all of our dreams, making it the best fit for our needs. Logistically, she was so easy to work with, and she helped make our day perfect. Book with this wonderful team and group of humans!

Amazing! Katie makes wedding planning easy!

We are so grateful to have Katie by our side throughout the wedding planning process. From our initial phone call, Katie knew what I was looking for and assisted in making things as easy as possible for us. She took our crazy ideas and dreams and make them a reality! We could not have done it without her and her team. She is professional, knowledgeable, and an expert in the field. I will recommend her to everyone! Thank you Katie :)

You need Katie!

Katie not only moved our vendors and managed our Covid cancelled wedding for 3+ years, but she put out any and all fires without me (the bride) ever being aware. She thought of every detail, even the ones I didn't know existed. She is the calm presence every one wants around, and will make all your wedding dreams come true!

Miracle worker! Best planner ever!

Katie was truly the most spectacular person to have by your side on your wedding day (and every day leading up to the big day)!!! Katie is beyond patient, SO incredibly kind and so TALENTED at her job!!! She made our wedding day SEAMLESS .. absolutely perfect y'all!! We were hesitant to hire a planner thinking that we could handle planning a small wedding on our own and we were beyond happy we ended up hiring Katie and her team! She held our hand the entire way leading up to the wedding day - helping us make decisions, contacting vendors, get quotes and pricing, contract logistics, organizing it all and listening to all our of ideas and wishes for the wedding. Anytime we made a change or had a question, she was on it!! The wedding day was the most magical and perfect day of our lives and that wouldn't have happened with Katie and her team!! She orchestrated the entire event to perfection, truly a miracle worker!!!!! She tended to Peter and I from sun up to sun down, anything we needed, she was there for us! The timing of everything was down to the second, she was so organized and ready to tackle it all on our big day. She helped with anything and everything!! Katie was a huge blessing to have on our day and we are forever grateful she was there to help us through the most beautiful moment in our lives. Thank you Katie and to your team for everything!!! We are so grateful for you!

Her services and professionalism was nothing short of amazing

We used Katie for our wedding in April of 22 a Lowndes Grove. We purchased her partial package and it was more than we could’ve asked for. She kept communication flowing, gave vendor recommendations, helped negotiate, and more. She was professional and so was her team. She has worked at Lowndes Grove before and was able to seamlessly keep the day going.

The Best Wedding Planner Ever!

I can not say enough kind things about Katie, she went above and beyond every step of the way in our wedding planning process!! We like many other brides were affected by COVID-19 and had to post-pone our wedding but in that process Katie helped make that transition so smooth and helped put our fears aside. She has such a calming presence to her. She is incredibly well-organized and creative with new ideas that truly helped me when I felt in a rut with planning. Her referrals to other vendors were so on point and always conscious of our budget. I just can not recommend her enough!! We are so thankful for Katie and her team for pulling off our dream wedding, she is truly the best in the business with a heart of gold!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
