Stress free wedding

Katie was AMAZING, kind, organized, and super responsive to emails and texts. Best wedding planner I could’ve asked for! She helped me so much leading up to the wedding with finalizing details, figuring out the timeline, finding linens, and communicating with vendors. She was on top of things since day one of booking her and made this whole process stress free! On the actual wedding day, I didn’t worry about one thing and honestly have no clue if anything went wrong. It literally went so smoothly and was the best day ever thanks to Katie!!

One fat dove

One fat dove was by far the best money spent for our wedding! Katie sat down with us and created a detailed plan for the wedding day. She took care of everything and saved the day when we couldn’t find my dress bustle. A must have!

Best investment for our day!

THE BEST.
Katie was made for this. Best investment we made for our day, hands down. She has the calmest, most reassuring personality, and is the hardest worker! Our day was completely stress free because of her punctuality, attention to detail and poise. She has so much experience and was able to make plans “a”, “b”, and even “c” just in case. If you’re getting married in NTX do your self a HUGE favor and hire One Fat Dove!!!

The best decision we ever made!!

If there is one thing I recommend doing for your wedding, it is hiring Katie with One Fat Dove! I am personally extremely organized and pay a lot of attention to details and Katie was even more organized than me! She thought of so many things that would have never occurred to us and I am convinced that our wedding would not have been as wonderful as it was without her. From the very beginning, Katie was super responsive to emails and she honestly made the entire wedding planning process a breeze. On our wedding day we had a few vendor mishaps (at no fault of Katie's!) and she handled it effortlessly and not a single guest knew anything went wrong. Not only is Katie a great wedding planner, but she is great at making you feel supported throughout your big day and truly cares about you and your wedding. It is so hard to find great vendors, so Katie is truly a gem! Do yourself a favor and book with One Fat Dove!

You need OFD in your life!!!

Everyone needs Katie to be part of their wedding. The woman is amazing. She made all my wedding dreams come true. I had no clue what I wanted out of my wedding or what to expect and she walked through each step with me. She has so much knowledge about the wedding industry. Her skills are unmatched. When my wedding day finally came, I was completely stress free knowing Katie was in charge. I had the most perfect day and I cannot thank Katie enough for everything and did to make my wedding day so dreamy!

the BEST wedding planner!

Hiring One Fat Dove for our Month of Planning was the best decision we made! Our day would not have gone as smooth if it wasn't for Katie and Katie! Their professionalism and organization is over the top. It made for a stress-free day knowing they were so on top of every detail! They were at our venue before I even arrived and stayed well after to clean up! I would recommend Katie to every future bride!

Incredible Wedding Planner

There are not enough words to describe how thankful and grateful we are for Katie and her team. She is an absolute ROCKSTAR as a wedding planner and as a person. She made our wedding day so perfect and beautiful! From the beginning of the wedding planning process she always made us feel heard, gave great advice and was always just an email or call away when we had any last minute questions. She was thoughtful, organized and professional no matter what was thrown her way. On the day of our wedding, she did a phenomenal job making the venue look absolutely beautiful and for making it the most stress free day for my husband and I. I still can’t believe how perfect every detail was and how much love went in to planning that day. She went above and beyond our expectations, and it was best decision we ever made hiring her. We could not have done it without her kindness and support. Highly recommend if you want the best!!

Unmatched!!!

Katie Waara & Katie Crawford made my day an absolute dream. The professionalism, organization, & effort put into my wedding day was unmatched. Between emailing all vendors a month prior to the day, to organizing the entire day from start to finish, I couldn’t have asked for more. They also both have the most amazing, bubbly personalities! The sweetest, most genuine women. Could not have had the day we did without them. So incredibly thankful!!!
