An answer to an east-coast, military wife, COVID bride's prayers
My (now) Husband and I were very intentional about finding a wedding coordinator for our summer 2020 wedding. Although from California, we both lived in New York while wedding planning and it was important to us to have a planner that knew the Carmel area, that could be our eyes and ears while we were away. We began working with Kaitlin in fall of 2019 and were immensely enjoying our calls, in-person meetings, and overall experience with Kaitlin. As soon as COVID entered the equation, we found ourselves in a very difficult position and under extreme parameters due to my husband’s military career.
2020 quickly took an unforeseen turn for weddings, however Kaitlin was our bright light through it all. We made the difficult decision to forego our original wedding plan, and reschedule a micro wedding in my family’s backyard in less than two weeks, due to the military. We cannot praise Kaitlin enough for her patience, sound guidance and genuine care for us as a couple. At times, she became a therapist as we waded through the uncharted COVID wedding scene, ensuring to listen to what was important to us as a couple and honor that - no pressure involved. Although our initial plans looked different, our day exceeded our expectations and Kaitlin played a massive role in that. She was a liason between us & our vendors, helped us understand our contracts, and ultimately repurposed our initial plans (and contracts) to work under our new parameters. Her contacts and vendor referrals were impeccable - in service and quality. Kaitlin answered every panicked phone call with grace and wisdom. She helped us cultivate BEAUTY in a situation that felt rather limiting initially.
We would not have changed a thing about our day, and that includes having Kaitlin as our wedding coordinator. THANK YOU Kaitlin & the POP team for not just helping plan one, but TWO, weddings for us. We will always have a special place in our hearts for you!

Great experience!
We interviewed a lot of wedding planners and we are so glad we picked Kaitlin. She did a fantastic job of making our vision a reality. She left us with nothing to worry about on the day of our wedding and made sure that every detail was checked off of the list. Kaitlin was also instrumental with assisting us in ironing out some issues we had with one of our vendors which caused a lot of stress for us. We love that she advocates for her couples and cares about providing the best experience possible. We don't know what we would have done without her.

Amazing Wedding Coordinator
Wow were we lucky to have Kaitlin as our wedding coordinator. She is amazing to work with. She was always there for me to answer any of my questions or calm any worries we had. She made the whole weekend event run so smoothly. There wasn't anything we needed that she didn't have or was already on top of before we even asked. She worked so well behind the scenes that if anything was off or going wrong we certainly would not have known it. We highly recommend Kaitlin. There is no doubt in my mind that without her the weekend would not have been the same. I was so much more relaxed knowing Kaitlin and her Pocket Full of Plans staff had everything under control. I hope I get the opportunity to work with Kaitlin again in the future.
Pocketful of Plans is a fun way to have your memories last forever! Your guests will have a blast & will have an unforgettable time at your event. Pocketful of Plans are professionals w/ experience & are great to work with. I highly recommend them for your next special event!
