Beyond incredible experience with Kate and the ACA team!! From start to finish, Kate was just absolutely amazing. She was always available to answer questions, calm my nerves, talk through things, and give recommendations. EVERYTHING. I even had family and friends tell me how impressed they were with her and her team the night of. She brought our vision to life and we couldn't have asked for more! -

Stacey S. Sent on 10/28/2023Drop everything and hire Kate and ACA team!
When it comes to wedding planners there are two simple rules:
1. You need one
2. You need Kate and the ‘A Charmed Affair’ team!!!!
As soon as we found our venue, we got the highest of recommendations from the venue owners at Gather Greene to work with Kate.
From the moment we had our first call with her, it felt like we had known her for years. Kate is so friendly, enthusiastic, trustworthy, fun, and an all around talented professional. She doesn’t just plan weddings - she puts herself and team at the center of your universe, listens to what your vision is, and then absolutely SURPASSES your wildest dreams.
For the year that we worked with Kate, she literally made us feel like we were the ONLY wedding she had - got a question? Boom, she answered. Have a problem? Shazam, fixed and then some. Have some idea but not really sure? LET HER WORK HER MAGIC I PROMISE YOU! Seriously, the things that come up and have to be thought through while planning a wedding…you simply can’t and shouldn’t try to solve it yourself because Kate truly is an EXPERT at this. She LOVES LOVE and will put her everything into making sure that your love is cherished and celebrated in a way that will leave an indelible mark on the hearts and minds of all those who witness it.
In the moments leading up to a wedding, it’s inevitable that something will go wrong - and when it does, you NEED Kate to take the reins, and solution with tenacity, grace, and sheer brilliance. Guests getting kicked out of their hotel? She finds a new one, even in an area that’s known to not have hotels or offer blocks of rooms. Coach buses experiencing suspicious levels of mechanical failure and need to cancel the week of? She’ll make sure your guests get transported there and that @$$es are in seats, all with extra time to spare before the start of the ceremony.
Wedding week/day of - we were AMAZED at everything she and her team did for us - working around the clock to ensure our big day (and really the full weekend) was absolutely perfect. All of our guests commented on what a well organized machine the planning team was - from golf carting guests to staying in lockstep with all the vendors to ensure timely transitions, answering guests’ questions (no matter how insane or silly), to making sure that by the time we were there, we had NOTHING to do but just ENJOY and look around in awe.
If this review sounds like a bunch of rambling, well…fair enough. We have been spending the last few weeks since getting married thinking about how much we owe it to Kate and team for all that they did for us to ensure that our wedding weekend was beyond magical…and despite all these words here, there truly aren’t enough to express our gratitude and amazement for this incredible team. Kate, we simply cannot thank you enough for everything! I’m so glad we chose you and your team, and we will never forget all that you did for us to make our dreams come true and then some. You are simply beyond the best!

perfection
Kate and her team were by far the greatest investment we made for our wedding day. A Charmed Affair was recommended to me by my venue as they have worked with her many times. Kate talked to me well over two years before my big day and gave me a run-down of all she offers and how it would all work. She was so fun, and so genuinely kind, nice to talk to, and shared everything honestly and in great detail. I was sold IMMEDIATELY! If not for her and her personality - she comes with literally ALL the decor you will ever need for a fee for a U-HAUL rental and when I tell you her connections, advice, and her items she has.. priceless. We felt that all she offered helped us save so much both financially and saved us so much stress! Plus, she's an incredibly loved vendor so your other vendors are happy you have her. She answered ALL my questions (all the time), she had everything planned down to the MINUTE, and our venue looked absolutely stunning. There truly are no words for how amazing her and her entire team were that day. She spoke to all my vendors, helped me talk through the whole day, met me the day before, cleaned everything, and I wasn't asked a single question all day. When I saw all that she had to do to make the wedding day run as smooth as it did, we were even more happy we had her and her team there! It really did save us so much time, energy and stress- and from a person who knows all the things when it comes to weddings. The day of she solved any and all last minute issues whether big or small, or even if she was trying to take a break and eat. She is just the sweetest person, and I wish her and her team nothing but the best because they truly deserve it.
Don't question it.. BOOK. BOOK. BOOK.! Her and her team are the greatest thing you could ever ask for on your wedding day. -

Kate was the perfect person to have by our side throughout the entire wedding planning process.
Every wedding needs every little thing to go right. Kate at A Charmed Affair and her team made sure that our wedding day was coordinated flawlessly. She was with us through every step of the planning process, from coordinating vendors, to reviewing contracts, to tie-breaking decisions, and everything in between. We couldn't be more grateful for her guidance and enthusiasm while juggling our every need.
If we were to repeat this process all over again, we would choose Kate each and every time. -

We are SO grateful for Kate and the Charmed Affair team! Kate's relaxed, but extremely on the ball, demeanor was a calming presence leading up to and on our Wedding day. Her openness to hearing our questions and concerns, not matter how "silly" we thought they may be, was extremely reassuring that we'd chosen the right coordinator! Everything ran perfectly thanks to her, and she and the team making sure no details were overlooked, and any minor issues were resolved promptly. She is so personable and lovely it felt like having someone we've known forever there for us! Endless thank you's to Kate and the Charmed Affair team! -

I cannot recommend Kate and her team enough. We could not be more thankful for: every single of the hundreds of emails, every single thoughtful response and detail she executed, every chaotic hour she dealt with (and soooo so many things behind the scenes that I had/ still have no idea about) on our wedding day....she even solved a seating chart/place card snafu in seconds that I was privately panicking about. She was always smiling and handling every question or request from us with so much patience and cheer. She made our dream wedding day come true and we are forever and ever grateful. She is truly talented at her craft and we couldn't have executed this day without her.
Kate: thank you, thank you, thank you, from the bottom of my sore feet to the top of my ripped wedding dress that you so kindly did surgery on at some point after I danced my heart out.
I want to recommend her to everyone that I know. She will always be the best investment we made on our wedding day!! Book Kate!! You will NOT regret it!!! -

Worth. Every. Penny.
Don’t sleep on a wedding planner. Kate had planned my sisters wedding in 2019 and I knew once I got engaged I HAD to have Kate help me with my wedding. Not only is Kate amazing to work with, her staff is just as amazing. Kate has become a part of our family and we wouldn’t want it any other way. -

Rebecca W. Sent on 09/13/2022We loved working with Kate!
Kate was such an amazing wedding coordinator. She really shines in the month and weeks leading up to the event with the small details - coordinating with vendors, bringing your design vision to life, calming you down when you start to sweat the details. We realized about a month out that one of our shuttles was too large for the venue and we no longer needed that many seats. There were no smaller shuttles available that late into planning, but she was able to reach out to her connections and ask another couple to swap with us. I couldn't believe it! We also engaged Kate to help us select a florist and execute on our design. We only had one call with the florist and some emails, so on the day of I wondered if our vision would be represented. It was SO MUCH better than I'd anticipated. It shows how well Kate understood what we envisioned and translated that behind the scenes without our needing to get involved. She had such a great attitude about everything, was so professional. At the end of the night, I was sad to say goodbye - I want her around for every event I plan! -

Maggie S. Sent on 08/20/2022Amazing, thoughtful, professional planner!
Kate is an extraordinary wedding planner - we recommend her so highly! My husband and I got married at The BARN at Liberty Farms, and she made our day magical. We worked with Kate as a partial planner, and she went above and beyond to be a sounding board for us in the year plus leading up to our wedding. Kate knows Liberty Farms like the back of her hand, and so having her both as a thought partner in planning as well as there on the actual wedding weekend to make sure everything went completely flawlessly without us having to think about anything was amazing. We are so appreciative of her aesthetic vision, hyper-competence at all things logistics and run-of-show, and down to earth and honest attitude. She also has a huge inventory of props and touches for the day from seating card holders to a popcorn machine to lounge furniture and she basically has a catalogue that couples can select from and she'll bring over as much as she can hold in a trailer and just charges for the cost of the trailer. This is a HUGE perk and saves a ton on extras to buy/rent for the day - we had a gorgeous full lounge set up (which our older guests in particular really appreciated!), photo booth backdrops, a popcorn machine, candles, and so much more from her. We are so grateful to Kate for pulling off the most perfect wedding weekend!! -

A Charmed Affair is an absolute dream team
When planning our wedding, everyone said to prepare for at least three things to go wrong on the big day, just to manage stress levels. But none of those people had Kate and her team coordinating their weddings! We are SO lucky to say that everything went perfectly, all because of A Charmed Affair.
We planned our wedding at The Barn at Liberty Farms without much knowledge of the vendors in the area. Kate helpfully recommended local vendors, gave us recommendations about what we could do on our own, and helped us make tedious decisions much easier. She simplified parts of planning we didn't even KNOW we had to think about. Even though we didn't meet in person until the day of the wedding (we don't live in the area) we felt like she really saw us, our vision, and how to make our wedding feel true to our relationship. Kate and the team are SO professional, they are experts in their craft, and they're generous with their time, knowledge, and resources. I was excited at the end of the night to see them eating a candy I love, and they even offered for me to take the rest home - their generosity does not end. I truly can't imagine how we would have pulled together our wedding without Kate, and would recommend her and A Charmed Affair to everyone. -

Kate and her team are without a doubt the kindest, most professional, most on point, least fussy, most amazing wedding planning ever. She made us feel taken care of, even outside of the context of what we had technically hired her for. Off the bat, she was extremely easy going, reassuring, and knowledgeable in a way that made us feel heard, understood, and like we were in the best of hands. Which we were!
All our vendors came through Kate - and they're all a reflection of the incredible person and planner that she is - kind, thoughtful, and willing to go above and beyond because they love what they do.
We will never forget our experience working with Kate. So much so that we told her at the end of our wedding that she was stuck with us.
If you're getting married in the Hudson area - or honestly any area - she is a true gem of a human and extremely talented at what she does. -

Kate & her team made my wedding the best it could of been. There is not ONE thing I would change about my day or her work. She made my dreams come true, her experience shows in the work she does. She is down to earth and makes the day run so smooth ! -

Marilyn D. Sent on 11/01/2021The most essential vendor was our day-of coordinator team!
Hands down the most helpful vendor I hired was Kate from A Charmed Affair. We hired her as our day-of coordinator, and she was so essential in the weeks leading up to the wedding to make sure everything came together seamlessly. She ensured my friends and family could relax and be present the day of because she and her team had it covered.
Kate made one of the mini airstreams on-site into the coolest vintage-inspired photo booth! She went above and beyond and it was such an awesome and unique moment for guests to go and take pictures. Everyone loved it!
Hiring Kate was essential in helping me pull together my 1.5 years of planning and rally all of my vendors together during the final weeks leading up to the wedding to ensure a smooth and wonderful day.
I was a bride on a budget and hesitated when deciding to budget for a day-of coordinator, but I must say Kate's services were worth every penny! Can't recommend her enough - she rocks! -

Making Dreams Come True!
I made an instant connection with Kate from the very first conversation we had. She immediately instilled confidence and was clearly a genuine, kind-hearted soul (what a bonus for being amazing at what she does). Kate is an absolute ROCKSTAR who we will forever be indebted to. Her team was AMAZING. When I say our day was a dream come true, it's in all honesty due to all of the efforts of her team making our dreams a reality. Do you want your wedding planner to go above and beyond? Have a "let's do it" attitude? Kate is WILLING, HARDWORKING and PROACTIVE. She made the day a seamless process for us. THANK YOU AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN! -

Barn at Liberty Farms June wedding
Kate was an absolute pleasure to work with and a lifesaver on our big day. Our number 1 reason for picking Kate was because she had a huge supply of furniture and decorations that we wanted for our venue. But once we got talking to Kate and realized all the other little things she could help us with there was no question we’d be hiring her. She answered every question we had whenever we had it and always made time for us. The day of our wedding she handled everything perfectly and there’s not a single thing we had to worry about. When the bride forgot her custom sneakers, she wanted to change into, at the Airbnb down the road Kate sent one of her people over to go get them. Kate and her team made wedding planning, and our wedding day smooth and perfect! -
