Kate was incredibly kind, patient, and helpful throughout the journey of trying to plan (and replan!) a wedding in the middle of a pandemic. She's ideal for couples who need major planning help and/or have weddings with 50+ guests. That said, we had a microwedding and it was still invaluable to have Kate there the day of to handle the smaller details. We're hoping to be able to work with her once a larger celebration is feasible. Kate's connections and prior experience with our venue and other vendors put us at ease and gave us insight into how things are typically done at our venue. We recommend her for anyone looking for a day-of coordinator (or for more extensive planning) in metro Detroit.

Kate was a such a pleasure! She took so much pressure and worry from me, and let me enjoy my daughters wedding, which was an absolute joy! She is very professional, and lovely to work with. Would highly recommend!!

Kate was awesome as our day of coordinator! I was not bothered once throughout the day/night as far as I know everything went swimmingly. I could not appreciate her more! She was very honest, direct, and professional through the process. Her team was very helpful and adaptable to our many needs! I would highly recommend her for your special day and trust she knows what she’s doing!

Kate at Purple Clover Events is THE BEST decision we made while planning our wedding. We hired her for the day of coordination with some extra sessions before hand to plan accordingly for our unique venue site. We had our wedding at the Royal Oak Farmers Market, which required us to bring in 100% of our vendors. Without Kate helping through organization, contracts, checklists, set up, tear down, and all around support...our wedding would of been a mess. She was this person we could email or call up and ask for help when we would get stuck. Whenever we met with Kate we always walked away calm and excited, feeling like no matter what happened, the day would run smooth with her running the show. It went so smooth, I can't think of one negative that went wrong. Even if there was an issue, it was taken care of by Kate and her team without it even hitting our radar. We got to sit back and enjoy our wedding without any worry. Which is all anyone could want on their wedding day. She totally understood my vision for the day and nailed it when she set up our wedding decor we had made, it was BEAUTIFUL! I will never forget the calm she brought us during the craziness of planning a wedding. The moment my husband and I left our first meeting with Kate we knew we HAD to hire her. Endless thank you's to Kate and her team at Purple Clover, if I had to do all of it over again I wouldn't change a thing.

DO NOT plan your wedding without letting Purple Clover help you! The absolute best part of our wedding day was not having to worry about a single thing except enjoying the time to celebrate with our friends and family - our day of coordinator, Samantha, took care of everything. It feels completely inadequate to call the level of service Purple Clover provided simply "day of coordination." Kate and Samantha helped us find the perfect vendors, keep track of all of our contracts and payments, plan our wedding day timeline, and acted as a direct line of communication between all of our vendors. We honestly never felt stressed during the entire wedding planning process because of how competent Samantha and Kate are. When I returned to work after our wedding, a coworker asked me, "So what went wrong? Something ALWAYS goes wrong." I couldn't think of a single thing. If anything went wrong that day, Samantha did a phenomenal job handling it, and we never found out about it.

Even if you don't need full scale wedding planning, investing in a day of coordinator is something I would strongly recommend - and the team at Purple Clover is the best!

Kate and team at Purple Clover events is fantastic!!! We hired her to be our day of coordinator but she started working with us months before the wedding. She was very responsive to emails and thorough about every detail of the wedding, many details I know would've been overlooked without her help. She coordinated all logistics with the vendors and ensured that we could truly enjoy our day. Most people say that something is bound to go wrong on your wedding day, but I can honestly say that our day was absolutely flawless, stress free and executed perfectly all thanks to Kate!! I am so grateful for all of the planning and organization that Kate did to help make our day so special, I know we could never have done it without her! If there is one thing you should spend your money for the wedding, its purple clover! You will truly be a guest at your own wedding and be able to enjoy every moment of your day!

We were so lucky to have Kate for our Day of Planner for both of my daughter’s weddings.She is such a joy to to work with and makes the wedding worry free. As parents of the bride, all the planning and preparation can be overwhelming and then to make sure that it all comes together on wedding day would have been unimaginable without Kate. Kate managed every detail from rehearsal through wedding day and allowed us to enjoy our daughters wedding and our family and guests without a worry. Kate has an awesome personality, works wonderfully with the wedding party, the venue and all the vendors. She is truly ‘priceless’ and we can’t be thankful enough that we found her!!

Kate McClellan was our planner, and she was great. I could call her or email her any time, and we had many in person and phone meetings with me and my mother during the planning process. She recommended our florist, who was one of our favorite vendors and did a great job with logistics for the rehearsal dinner and on wedding day. She also came up with a great idea for our guest book concept.
She knows the best venues and vendors in the area, so if you're in need of a solid resource and someone to keep you on task while planning, go with Kate!

Some couples have a wedding. My husband and I had a full on 3 day extravaganza complete with (Friday) formal ceremony, dinner reception, (Saturday) open house, big party at the local Farmer’s Market and (Sunday) brunch. Since we’re not from the area (and the majority of our guests were out-of-towners, too) we relied on Kate for recommendations on hotels, transportation, vendors and the like. We were 100% satisfied with everything and I attribute that directly to Kate. I can’t recommend her enough- she is a true professional. She handled everything for us. Her disposition is friendly and warm and guests thought she was family. Her presence is calming. She knew what our priorities were and kept them top-of-mind. I honestly did not worry about anything for any of the events we had all weekend. She was there for any and everything I needed and yet, ironically, she works so behind-the-scenes I would never have known she was there unless I looked. After our wedding weekend I looked at twitter to find out that Purple Clover had 3 other weddings the same weekend as mine. I had NO idea. That’s how good she is.

We are SO SO thrilled with the level of service that we got from Purple Clover and our lead planner Rachel! BEST decision we made in planning our wedding was to hire them! We had our wedding reception at Belle Isle Casino in Detroit, which is basically an empty space with no onsite personnel. It was so crucial that we hire a talented, professional, organized planner to execute our vision since we wouldn’t be there on the day of the wedding to handle any of it. Rachel was exactly that and more. We chose to have day-of coordination, which included SO much more than just set-up on the day of our wedding. We met with Rachel multiple times before the event, and through countless emails and phone calls, she was always available to give advice and guide us through the process. The final weeks before the wedding she saved us so much stress by contacting all the vendors, verifying and arranging timelines and details which seemed to change a million times and she stayed on top of all of it. Throughout the process she was pleasant, enthusiastic, sweet and fun. She put us at ease that our entire vision and coordination of multiple different aspects of this event would be exactly what we wanted. She came to our rehearsal the night before, loaded up her car with tons of décor and even stood up for me when the mean, horrible church lady coordinator tried to ruin everything. On the day of the wedding we arrived at our reception site to see our dreams had become reality, the site was beautiful, guests were happy and I breathed a huge sigh of relief. We had an incredible time as “guests at our own wedding” and everything ran smoothly. I’m sure there were issues behind the scenes that she handled and I will never know about them. She was there all night until the bitter end, packing her car up at midnight again with all my DIY décor and took it home until we could get it from her later. Rachel, from the bottom of my heart, a million thank yous! You rock!!
