Katy is the best!

KATY IS THE BEST! Words cannot describe how absolutely amazing Katy is! She was essential to making our special day out of this world. She not only worked with us and supported us throughout the entire planning process, but on the day of our wedding she was absolutely incredible and ensured everything went smoothly, allowing us to enjoy our day absolutely stress free. Everything about our wedding day far exceeded our expectations. She was a calming voice and handled everything for us so we could enjoy every moment of our wedding. She coordinated all of our vendors, ensured everything looked absolutely stunning, accommodated last minute guests who we were not anticipating, accommodated all of our little detailed requests, took care of us throughout the day and so much more. All we had to do was show up and get ready and everything was taken care of and absolutely perfect. She made our wedding vision come to life (in fact, far exceeded our wildest dreams for our special day) and is a pleasure to work with and a genuinely amazing person. Please do yourself a favor and book Katy as your wedding planner, I promise you will be beyond happy with the results!!

AMAZING Coordinator!

Katy was the first vendor we booked after picking our venue because she was their #1 recommendation. And she was absolutely the best choice in our wedding planning process. She was super responsive throughout the 18 months leading up to our wedding, had awesome ideas for how to make things flow and work together, and she was an absolute godsend the wedding weekend. My husband and I were able to be fully present in our wedding weekend because we knew Katy was taking care of things. I remember distinctly how she was there keeping the timeline on track, bustling my dress, making sure we had food and drinks during our photo sessions. She just went above and beyond in all aspects. If you’re considering hiring Katy, don’t hesitate, just do it!

Katy will ensure you have your dream wedding

I spent my entire wedding day floating in a peaceful cloud of love, and as much as I love my husband, Katy deserves the lion share of the credit for running everything so smoothly in the background. I'm normally an anxious, type A planner personality—but Katy is so phenomenally good at her job, and appears so unruffled while doing it, that I was able to completely let go of any worries on the big day and simply enjoy. She remembered every last tiny detail, and we received countless compliments from our guests on how well the event was run. I cannot recommend her enough!

You NEED Katy on your wedding day!

Katy came highly recommended by our venue, Calipaso, where she has worked many times and we hired her as our month of coordinator. She was extremely helpful putting us in contact with other local vendors in the area. Throughout the planning process, any time I had a question (no matter how random) she would always have an answer for me. I was also very impressed with her quick email response time! The day of our wedding I had complete confidence and peace of mind that Katy would execute my vision and handle every small detail so that we could enjoy the day. I cannot recommend her enough- she is organized, kind, patient, helpful and understanding. Hire her immediately!

Absolutely fantastic wedding!

I couldn’t have planned our destination wedding so perfectly without the help of Katy Smith! Her recommendations for all our vendors were excellent. Katy responded to my emails and texts promptly and her calm and professional demeanor helped get me through some stressful moments due to iffy weather. Our wedding day was perfectly executed and I had 100% confidence that Katy would handle any glitches that might possibly pop up. She didn’t skip a beat. Katy gets my highest recommendation! She's just THE BEST!

Katy is truly the best! She made our wedding day so perfect and way better than we could’ve possibly imagined.

We hired Katy just over a year before our wedding at Eberle. We decided to go with her full coordinating package since my husband and I did not have a lot of time outside of work to fully plan our wedding. From day one Katy was responsive and helpful. We did contact other coordinators but she outshined them in our honest opinion. She helped us get some of the best vendors and gave us her honest opinion of each one. She was a major help with timeline and keeping in touch with vendors. Katy was a major help with making sure each vendor on the wedding day knew the timeline and where to be. When it came to the wedding day, she was a rockstar! My husband and I are still in awe about how perfectly everything lined up from the timing of the sunset during our ceremony to cocktail hour to the reception. I highly recommend going with Katy as your wedding planner. We are so glad she was a part of our special day.

Detail-oriented, calm, and very helpful!

We hired Katy to help us plan our wedding in addition to coordinating the day of and I honestly don't know what we would have done without her! She made our wedding day so flawless, we didn't stress for a minute or need to think about any sort of coordination, instead we just relaxed and had the best day of our entire lives.

In addition to making the day of the wedding smooth, Katy answered my 1 million questions over the course of a year and helped us find the perfect vendors and make all sorts of decisions. Her network of vendors on the central coast is amazing and really helped us since we aren't local to the area.

On top of all of this, Katy is such a joy to work with and has a very calming presence. We never had to stress about anything and she made the entire wedding planning process fun and enjoyable.

I highly recommend hiring Katy for your day, she is the best and you won't regret it!!

Here's to a stress-free wedding!

Katy and her assistant Heidi were both absolutely fantastic to work with! Planning a wedding in California while living in Chicago during a pandemic could have been extremely nerve-racking but having Katy with me every step of the way made it a breeze. She was able to help us figure everything out, suggesting ideas we hadn't even thought of and coordinating all the moving pieces with ease. And because she is so familiar with the Paso area and other vendors, I wasn't stressed one bit with any of her recommendations.

On the day of the wedding Heidi made everything run smooth and my husband and I were able to truly enjoy our day. People would always ask me if I was stressed out leading up to the wedding and I could honestly tell them no, because I knew everything was being handled - thanks to Katy!

I could not recommend hiring Katy as your coordinator enough. You owe it to yourself to truly enjoy a stress-free wedding day and Katy will help you achieve this!

Katy was a dream to work with!

Katy helped us bring exactly what we were envisioning to life and she didn't miss a single detail we threw her way - even last-minute ones. She's incredibly flexible, responsive, budget-conscious, professional, supportive, and the list goes on! She truly helped us plan the most perfect day. I'd recommend her to anyone - not sure what we would have done without her!

My wedding would not be possible without Katy!

Katy Smith is absolutely amazing! She has this calming and positive attitude that helped me ease any of my nerves before the big day. I was in awe watching Katy work the day of my wedding because she was so efficient and created my vision just right. She is so professional and is the hardest worker. Anything I needed she was right there. Katy is very responsive and answered any questions I had via email/text or phone call. My wedding day would not be possible without Katy and I could not recommend her enough. My husband and I appreciate her so much!

As a Wedding Photographer I have worked with several wedding coordinators and Katie with WeddingSmith is one of my favorites. Not only is she very organized, knowledgable and efficient but she also brings a calmness to the wedding storms that sometimes brew. I appreciate her ready smile and flexible nature. She was my pick for my own son's wedding.
