Katie was amazing. She kept me organized, on track, and helped me make so many decisions that would’ve completely overwhelmed me on my own. She also helped design the entire wedding and brought everything together better than I could’ve imagined. My mom and I literally say all the time that we could not have done this without her.

Because of Katie, I had a completely stress-free wedding weekend. I didn’t worry about a single thing. If you want someone who is helpful, calm, and truly on top of everything, Katie is it. I’m so grateful for her.

We can’t thank Allison enough for everything she did to make our wedding day flawless. From the very beginning, she was organized, responsive, and always made us feel at ease. She handled every detail with such care, from coordinating with vendors to making sure our timeline flowed seamlessly. On the day of, she kept everything running smoothly so we could be fully present and enjoy ourselves. We truly couldn’t have done it without her and would recommend her to anyone looking for a coordinator who goes above and beyond.

Allison made our wedding perfect. She thoughtfully spent so much time working with us before the wedding, and contacted and communicated with our vendors, which was a huge weight off. She also helped shield me from some drama that was going on with our venue, and kept everything running so smoothly and seamlessly!! To maintain effective communication, she reached out to my family that weekend, so they were able to contact her if they needed anything. I honestly cannot recommend them enough, an incredible experience all around. She consistently went above and beyond, you cannot go wrong (but you better be nice to her).

Wow!!!! I got married on the Eastern Shore and wanted a day of planner/team that was from the area so I could use as many local vendors as possible. I found Katie and Allison with KPE and I could not be more thankful to have been able to work with them! They helped us navigate the wedding world when we had no idea what we were doing. They were both incredibly helpful in selecting vendors and navigating timelines when we got closer to the wedding day. Along with planning the wedding, they both helped us coordinate the rehearsal dinner that we dreamed of. They are both incredibly kind and organized. They are clear and fair with pricing and we could not imagine our wedding weekend without them. If you are on the fence- book KPE they are INCREDIBLE!

Katie was absolutely amazing. From start to finish, she made planning our wedding so much easier and enjoyable. Her help with design, attention to detail, and thoughtfulness made our wedding weekend so special. She really thinks of everything to ensure you and your guests have the best experience. 1000% recommend.

Katie was, without question, the best decision we made in our wedding planning process. From our very first discovery meetings, Katie was exceptional at helping us articulate and refine our wedding vision. Through iterative conversations and creative vision boards, she helped us transform our initially vague ideas into a well-defined, cohesive, and personalized celebration.

Her communication, organization, and wonderful demeanor were the real attributes that set her apart - she was a pleasure to work with at every step of the journey. Katie was extremely generous with her time, readily available to answer our questions and incredibly patient with our many thoughts and revisions along the way. As we progressed, she also maintained detailed checklists and deadlines that kept us accountable and on track so that no detail was overlooked. She even went so far as to help us craft custom signage that added some wonderful personal touches.

Katie’s exceptional network of vendor connections was also a game-changer. We weren't local to our wedding venue which gave us quite a bit of pause at first, but she connected us with local professionals (that we otherwise wouldn't have found) who perfectly understood and executed our vision. Every vendor delivered flawlessly – especially our DJ, who was a highlight of the day.

For couples seeking a wedding planner who combines strategic vision, local expertise, and genuine care, she is absolutely the professional you want by your side. Her ability to manage timelines with precision resulted in a completely stress-free wedding day that unfolded seamlessly. Katie helped transformed our vision into a memorable celebration that exceeded every single one of our expectations, which wouldn’t have happened without her.

We had Katie and Allison for our backyard tented wedding (month of planning) and they were fabulous! We had 0 stress the day of, they were totally in charge and everything went perfectly. They were a massive massive help and we couldn’t have had our wedding without them. Highly highly recommend!

We live in New Jersey and our daughter lives in DC. We needed a planner and We hired Katie Parks for our daughter’s wedding at the Hyatt regency Cambridge md September 2024.There is no better person to do this job. From the moment we met her we knew she was the one. She is detail oriented, and knows how to make an affair beautiful. The vendors she has access to do a marvelous job. I can’t say enough about the florist we used. Because of Katie the decorations were stunning and jaw dropping. She works well with the bride and the families. Each time we had a question it was answered within one day. She is a great problem solver -she has lots of ideas and is very creative. While I sometimes panicked over something- she was right there to find an answer and she was always calm. We will actually miss our planning meetings with her. She is simply a delight. Do not hire anyone else.

Katie and Allison did the job they were hired to do…but they treated us like we had been long time friends! Of course they are professional and very knowledgeable but it was above and beyond the job to treat us with such warmth! Working with them made our Daughters Wedding Day Perfect! Before, During and even days after they were helping us! Thank you both!!

Our wedding took place on a busy weekend in May (Memorial Day weekend) and Katie (& Allison) handled everything seamlessly, from coordinating with vendors, to managing the timeline of events, allowing us to relax and enjoy our day to the fullest. Her expertise and calming presence were invaluable throughout the entire process.

Our guests were also impressed with how smoothly everything ran and how beautifully everything was executed. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding planner and are so grateful for her hard work and dedication.
We truly could not have pulled it off without her!
