When first starting the wedding planning process, the idea of needing a wedding coordinator seemed silly and something that I could easily "DIY". My fiance, however, was very set on having one and so I decided to contact Kathy of Pink Lillie Planning to see what it was all about. At the first consultation she asked me so many questions about our future Big Day that I had yet to even think of. Needless to say, we signed our contract right then and let Kathy begin to work her magic of the details while we focused on the "big" things. Of course we later found out that all of the details she orchestrated into place, were the backbone of all the "big" things we had planned.

The last month before the wedding was certainly the most stressful and chaotic time as a bride but Kathy quickly responded to all of my emails and texts to kick butt behind the scenes. She contacted all of the vendors to ensure contract details and finalized our day-of timeline. Then as the wedding day finally approached, we watched as Kathy and her assistant made our dream wedding come alive. She arrived early for both the rehearsal and the day of, carrying what seemed to be a Mary Poppins' emergency kit. Everything you could think of was in this kit, almost making me wish there was an emergency just so I could use it!

Of course there were plenty of hiccups that Kathy and her assistant came to the rescue for, and plenty more that I'm sure I didn't know about. As we celebrated throughout the reception, I would turn around and my wine glass would suddenly be refilled. She would quietly ask if we were ready for the cake-cutting, bouquet toss, etc. and if we weren't ready just yet, she could adjust the whole timeline at the snap of her fingers.

Moral of the story, Kathy of Pink Lillie Planning is a miracle worker and I would strongly recommend her to any bride, (especially if they are a detail-

Working with Kathy from Pink Lillie Planning was by far one of the best decisions I made on my wedding. Throughout my engagement she was in contact with me to keep me in line to ensure I made all the deadlines to complete certain tasks when I should. She was always easy to contact either by a phone call, email or a text. The month prior to the wedding she began coordinating with all of my vendors to ensure everything the day of the wedding went as smooth as possible. The week prior to my wedding we were hit hard by hurricane Matthew. She recontacted all vendors to make sure they would still be there and that our venue had power. She did an immense amount of work and assistance to us prior to and the day of our wedding. Kathy and her daughter were a complete joy to work with. Overall I would say this was money VERY well spent. I would recommend her to anyone looking a fantastic wedding planner.

Kathy and her team were wonderful to work with! I am so grateful I had her support for day-of event coordination. She was very thorough in reaching out to vendors, ensuring the timeline was in place, and coordinating the rehearsal the night before the wedding. She was easy to reach via email and phone, and very responsive to my questions and anxieties about the reception. I wasn't originally sold on the idea of hiring a day-of wedding coordinator but it was SO worth it - and I definitely recommend Pink Lillie planning!
