Our day would not have been as perfect as it was if it had not been for Kate. She was truly a professional and she helped bring our vision alive. Would 100% recommend you will not regret it.

Our venue required a day of coordinator and I am so happy they did. Kate was responsive from the get go and even gave us some recommendations for other vendors (even though we were doing the day of package). She also helped with our venue in getting all the details sorted. Kate was amazing day of and made sure all went well. Her attention to detail and sense of humor made our wedding planning and wedding day so wonderful. We would recommended her to anyone. Thanks again!

Kate was so incredibly helpful through virtually every stage of the wedding planning process. She made sure all major aspects of the wedding day were handled, ensuring we were able to solely focus on enjoying the moment and not stressing about behind the scenes details. Kate truly helped make our wedding dreams become a reality and I would highly recommend her to anyone else :)

As a former Summer 2023 bride, working with Kate was amazing! She was so attentive and understood the vision I was going for on the big day. There were a lot of moving parts to my wedding and was so thankful to have her.

At first I wasn’t sure about getting a coordinator in general but it was the best money spent. She gave me peace of mind on the day of that everything would be handled! And let me tell you brides, so much happens within the last week leading up to the wedding and having Kate be there, was amazing. Even with things switching around less than a day before the wedding, she had it all covered.

Highly Recommend Kate to anyone looking for a coordinator. My family and I talk about it still to this day that it was one of the best decisions I made during the wedding planning process, was hiring her. I am a type A person and had several details that I was looking for to be executed on the day of, and she made it all happen. There’s so many little things that have to happen behind the scenes on the big day, that the bride shouldn’t have to be worrying about. Kate allowed me to focus on what was happening in the moment rather than worrying about all the little things.

I am extremely thankful to have had Kate on my wedding day and for all the peace of mind it brought me. She came to the meetings with my husband and I, asked questions I didn’t even think to ask, and was great to work with all the way through. Again, if you are looking for a coordinator, Kate is your person!!

Kate Ames from Valley and Oak Events was such an amazing partner in planning our perfect wedding. Kate was extremely knowledgeable of the Michigan wedding industry and made our lives so much easier. She was a great collaborator that always made our voices feel heard and helped our vague ideas become a sparkling reality. Kate supported us in the months leading up to our wedding, meeting with us multiple times to go over every detail and introduce us to many great support vendors, and on the “big day” she did everything to make our wedding and reception a seamless and unforgettable experience. If anything didn’t go according to plan, we had no idea! We would definitely recommend Kate to any of our friends and family!

My husband and I both highly endorse Kate as a wedding coordinator! Reflecting back on our wedding day and the planning leading up to it, we're so thankful we booked Kate to help with month-of coordination and execution. She is organized, straightforward and made the process so much less stressful for both ourselves and our families.

Kate was the most amazing wedding coordinator. She brought my vision to life and on the day of the wedding I didn’t have to think of a thing I cannot thank her enough for the most memorable experience of my life would hire her again in a heartbeat you won’t be disappointed.

To sum up our experience with Valley & Oak Events, our wedding would have never happened without hiring for our wedding planner! From the monthly calls to just ease our minds, to the best day of our lives and making our vision come to life, hiring Valley & Oak Events was the key to our dream wedding. Kate has such a professional relationship with her clients that was also so personal, it made all the stress and worry about planning such an event truly memorable and enjoyable. Our guests and family were also very impressed with her organization and overall care for ensuring her clients have the wedding they always envisioned. Do not hesitate to hire Valley & Oak Events! It will be the best decision you make during what could be a stressful time. We had the wedding of our dreams and majority of this is due to making Valley & Oak apart of our wedding.

Kate is EVERYTHING. Go inquire right now and consider yourself blessed if she has availability for your date.

Hiring Kate was probably the smartest decision we made while wedding planning and I can’t emphasize enough what an absolute *PLEASURE* it was having her on our team. She allowed me to enjoy the planning process, and on our wedding day, Kate was everywhere all the time, taking care of business. I would hire Kate for every wedding in every lifetime if for no other reason than the reassurance I felt having her in my corner (there are, of course, many many more reasons to hire Kate. Like her clear communication, organization, ability to bring your vision to life, and the emotional support she provides.) Seriously… you’ll be so grateful you did… go hire her

Kate was an amazing wedding planner! She did an incredible job planning our wedding and making our wedding day a special — and stress-free — day!
