I cannot say enough wonderful things about Katie. Choosing her as our wedding planner was hands down one of the best decisions we made, and looking back on our wedding weekend, I genuinely cannot imagine having done it without her.

From our very first conversations, Katie understood exactly what we envisioned for our wedding and went above and beyond to make it happen. She thought of things I never would have considered, handled every detail with such care, and made the entire planning process so much more enjoyable. I always felt like I had someone in my corner who genuinely cared just as much about our wedding as we did.

What I appreciated most about Katie was that I never once questioned whether something was being taken care of. I trusted her completely, and that allowed me to actually enjoy the months leading up to our wedding rather than spend them worrying about every little detail. And when the weekend finally arrived, I was able to soak in every single moment knowing she had everything under control.

My husband and I spent the entire weekend saying "no notes," and I think that says it all. It was everything we had dreamed of and so much more. I know how much time, effort, and heart Katie put into making that happen, and I will never take that for granted.

Katie, thank you for everything you did for us. You played such an important role in one of the most special weekends of our lives, and we will forever be grateful. I truly cannot recommend you enough. Any couple would be incredibly lucky to have you by their side!

Katie was nothing short of incredible! From start of planning to the big day she was responsive, kind, fun, creative, on top of every little thing, and a joy to work with. I can't imagine what the planning process would have been like with her. I recommend her 10/10!

Katie was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From start to finish, she was incredibly thorough, consistently available, and brought such a calm, capable presence to the entire planning process. What could have easily been a stressful experience felt fun, manageable, and even easygoing because of her.

One of Katie’s true superpowers is her familiarity with the Oaks Waterfront Hotel and its staff. Her knowledge of the venue was absolutely invaluable and gave us so much confidence every step of the way. She knew exactly how to bring everything together seamlessly in that space, and it made a huge difference in how smoothly the entire day unfolded.

Katie also has an amazing decorative eye. We came to her with only a rough framework of what we were envisioning, and she immediately transformed our blurry ideas into a stunning reality. She understood our vision so quickly and elevated it in ways we never could have done on our own. Everything looked beautiful, thoughtful, and completely “us.”

Her vendor recommendations were also phenomenal. Thanks to Katie, we worked with incredible vendors, including Monteray Farms for florals and Washington Talent Agency’s The Source for the band. The florals were gorgeous, and The Source was an absolute hit — several guests told us they were the best wedding band they had ever experienced.

On the day of the wedding, Katie and her team executed everything flawlessly. They kept the timeline moving perfectly and made sure every detail we had discussed was implemented exactly as planned. We were able to be fully present and enjoy the day knowing we were in the best possible hands.

We truly cannot recommend Katie highly enough. She is talented, organized, creative, well-connected, and an absolute joy to work with. If you are considering hiring her, do it — she is exceptional.

My husband and I had the absolute pleasure of working with Katie Parks for our wedding at The Oaks Waterfront Hotel in St. Michaels, Maryland at the end of May 2026, and we truly cannot recommend her highly enough.

From the very beginning of the planning process, Katie was calm, organized, responsive, and incredibly reassuring. Wedding planning comes with countless moving pieces, and throughout every guest count adjustment, timeline update, and last-minute change, she handled everything with such professionalism and grace that we never felt overwhelmed.

What impressed us most was her ability to adapt when unexpected weather threatened our plans. When rain forced changes to our original vision, Katie seamlessly adjusted every detail and transformed what could have been a stressful situation into something just as beautiful and magical as we had imagined. In many ways, the day exceeded our expectations because of her creativity and quick thinking. One of our favorite decisions of the entire day was a dance floor adjustment she suggested, and it ended up being a highlight of the reception.

Beyond her exceptional planning skills, Katie has a wonderful presence that puts everyone at ease. Our families, bridal party, and guests repeatedly commented on how kind, professional, organized, and genuinely caring she was throughout the entire weekend. It was clear to everyone that she truly loves what she does and is deeply invested in creating an unforgettable experience for her couples.

Because Katie was handling everything behind the scenes, my husband and I were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment of our wedding day without worrying about logistics or unexpected challenges. That peace of mind was truly priceless.

If you are considering Katie Parks as your wedding planner or coordinator, do not hesitate. She played an enormous role in making our wedding day everything we dreamed of and more, and we are so grateful to have had her by our side. Thank you, Katie, for helping create memories that we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

Love, The Kemps

Our vision became Katie’s vision. We asked for her to think outside of the box, asked her, “don’t make it a “Pinterest wedding.” Get to know my daughter and her fiancé. Make it personal. Do things you have wanted to try. Use your talents of creativity and organization. Katie and her team exceeded everything we thought we wanted. The responses we got from our guests is that this was “the best, most beautiful wedding we have ever been to.””It embodied the love of the couple.” As the mother of the bride, I enjoyed every moment of the weekend. I didn’t have to worry because I knew Katie had it. She is calm, organized, happy and has hired a team of the same qualities. I had complete confidence in Katie and I would hands down recommend her for any event. She is a true gem.

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.
