    Best Decision We Made

    Listen -- wedding planning can really suck, but never with Kate. From day one, Kate took our goals and provided a clear and consistent vision for our wedding. Not only did she listen to our desires and implement our budget, but she regularly reminded us that this was OUR day and helped us set boundaries throughout a stressful process. She elevated our event and created a warm, fun and collaborative space. There are thousands of vendors in Los Angeles and she presented us with a curated list of excellent vendors who went above and beyond on the day. Every single vendor she recommended provided outstanding service and brought their full creative vision to the table. And on top of all this, she's just a great person. Total breeze to work with, kind and funny. 10/10 would get married again just to work with her.

    The best wedding planner you could ask for

    Kate has been an incredible planner to work with. Our agency provides live bands for weddings and she's been an absolute professional coordinating the music needs between the couple and our team. Kate stays calm and collected through the entire wedding planning process and seamlessly navigates our vendor needs. The couple didn't stop smiling during their entire wedding day.

    We cannot recommend working with Kate enough. She's everything a couple (and vendor) could hope for in a planner.

    Professional, Peace of Mind, and Great Eye for Design

    We are so, so thankful we hired Kate. My husband, family and I have discussed numerous times what a big difference she made for our wedding. For anyone deciding whether or not to invest in a planner/coordinator – it is definitely worth it. Kate was so helpful, thorough, and brought me so much peace of mind, both on the lead-up with the planning and tremendously on the day itself. She also worked with Culver City Flower shop to design the flowers of my dreams, and when I walked into our reception I was blown away. I would recommend Kate x1000%

    Kate is the one you want! Highly recommended wedding planner!

    Kate is AWESOME! My wife and I hired Kate as our day of wedding coordinator and she exceed all of our expectations. Kate has the keen attention to detail and the ability to look around corners that you NEED during your wedding date. Knowing that Kate was in charge and in control of the reception was such a great peace of mind.

    Kate orchestrated and handled the entire timeline, acted as the liason between vendors, and what I especially appreciated was her thoughtfulness and care for my wife and I during the reception. Any concern big or small, Kate was on it.

    Feeling hungry before the grand entrance? Kate brought us a plate of food outside and no joke held it in front of us while we ate. Bar shut down but really needing a drink after our first dance? Kate was on it! Small touches and attentiveness in addition to the major planning is what made Kate shine and the recommended wedding planner in the LA area.

    Book Kate ASAP - she's hands down the best in the biz!

    Kate Created the Best Day of My Life!

    We cannot thank Kate enough for planning the wedding of our dreams. She handled every detail perfectly and made sure the day ran without a hitch. Her design ideas and creativity turned the wedding I had always imagined into a reality. When we sat down to review our design deck it felt like she had literally read my mind. In such an oversaturated market of wedding planners, she truly added value to our day and became a part of our family. I know it sounds corny, but I don't know how to say it other than that! She made every one of my over the top and extravagant ideas possible. She worked tirelessly to find us the most cost-effective and wonderful vendors. She isn't just the cutest and sweetest wedding planner, she's a complete badass and I don't know what I would have done without her. I wish I could give her 10 stars. I wish I could force everyone looking for a wedding planner to talk to me about how essential she was in creating the best day of my life. Kate, we love you and thank you, thank you, thank you!

    Kate was amazing! I wasn’t planning on hiring a day of coordinator, but my father insisted. And I’m so glad we did!! Wedding planning can be extremely stressful, but Kate made everything run smoothly. She took care of everything when we came to the venue to see where all the tables and decorations would go, she helped with arranging all the flowers the night before, organized the delivery of food and cake, set up all the decorations the morning of and made it look beautiful! She even though of small things like putting flowers along the aisle. She wrote out the day of timeline and made everything run smoothly. It was a fun stress-free day and Kate made it so easy!

    We used Blue Door Creative (Kate) to plan our wedding. She was nothing short of a gift from the heavens. Her attention to detail and quality were incomparable. She told us that on our big day we would have anything to worry about and we didn't!! She took care of all of the vendors and made sure our wedding was smooth and seamless from start to finish. She is the nicest and sweetest person and is so easy to deal with. As the groom, Kate made sure that my input was not only important, but required! I really liked that because weddings aren't only about the bride.

    We could not have hoped for a better planner to guide us through this most special day of our lives. Kate was always available to answer any questions and ease any concerns. She was so easy to talk to in any situation and was our biggest advocate. She was Team Bride and Groom all the way. On the day of our wedding she was always near to let us know what was going on and where we were needed next. She was also great at great a dealing with (my) strong willed mother of the bride. Everything she did was with a sincere smile and we are so grateful to have her in our lives. I have already recommended her to all my new bride to be friends and I will continue to do so. Shes the best!

    Kate truly changed my mind about wedding planners. I had not giving hiring one much thought, except that my site required a day-of person. After hearing a few good recommendations about Kate, I met with her to talk to her a bit more about my day. I was immediately blown away by her professionalism and ease, as well as her depth of knowledge. She quickly became a source of information and comfort for me and husband, walking us through every step of the process. Despite our distance, Kate was always a quick phone call or text away, quick to respond with in-depth answers or great advice. She pointed us in the direction of several vendors, who we used. The week before, our venue gave us a lot of trouble and Kate truly did her all to field that. Our wedding day was beautiful and seamless, thanks to her. Kate is determined, smart, and calm. She'll make your day as beautiful as you imagine it. I cannot recommend her enough.

    Hiring Kate of Blue Door Creative was by far the best decision I made for my small wedding. Instead of stressing and sweating over the small stuff, Kate was there to walk me though it step by step and make me feel at ease and comfortable leading up to the big day. And she worked magic! The wedding went off without a hitch and it was absolutely perfect. I left the details to her and her team and I was NOT disappointed. Everything was lovely and beautiful and it was truly everything I could have ever wanted that day. And after the wedding all of my friends and family complimented on how sweet, professional and wonderful Kate was to be around that day. Thank you for everything! xoxo

    Planning a wedding can be stressful for anyone especially some like me who suffers from anxiety on a daily basis. Having Kate be our wedding planner was like a dream come true. You see my husband and I have known the special lady ever since she was a little girl. We have had the opportunity to watch her grow into an amazing young woman who is not only organized but extremely creative. Her ideas added that personal touch tailored for our wedding. She made our special day one that neither of us will ever forget. Having Kate Wright plan our day was the best gift ever!!!

    Rich and I planned our wedding from across the country and when we made he decision to hire Kate for her day of services, we definitely were not disappointed! Kate is a pleasure to work with. Instantly she made me/us comfortable and we didn't have to stress out. Kate took care of EVERYTHING. Our bridal party was able to enjoy themselves and not have to worry about who was handling what. We mostly talked on the phone leading up to our wedding date. Kate helped me along and guided me on what to do leading up to our big day. We met Kate only a few days prior to Our wedding and it couldn't have come at a better time because our nerves were starting to get twitchy with the wedding approaching rapidly, but when we met with Kate that all went away. She is a rockstar to say the least! She made our wedding a dream come true. Her attention to detail and organization is on point. We didn't have to worry about where we needed to be during the ceremony or reception and to top it off the morning after our reception I was greated with a text that had the details of where everything was so I could find it. Would I hire her again? Absolutely! I highly recommend Kate. The only thing I regret is not getting a photo and having a cocktail with her afterwards! Kate is simply the best. Now go book her for your big day!

    Planning a wedding is super stressful, planning a wedding from out of state is even worse! Hiring Kate was one of the best decisions I made when planning our wedding. She has a wonderful, energetic personality and is always ready to help. She answered all of my questions in a timely manner and went above and beyond to make sure our special day went as smoothly as possible. I had no experience whatsoever when it came to anything wedding related, but Kate was right there when I needed her and always had a solution. She has a lot of experience with weddings and it definitely shows in her quality of work. She took care of coordinating all of our vendors, created a flawless timeline, and set up our beautiful wedding reception. She makes getting married easy! Seriously, she alleviated the majority of my anxiety. I highly recommend hiring her, you will not regret it! Thank you for being so amazing Kate :)

    Kate is an amazingly talented wedding planner! My wife and I have busy professional lives and taking on wedding planning was not helping us stay young, so when things got a bit stressful we desperately reached out to friends and family for recommendations, that's when we came into contact with Kate. No matter how much needed to be done, she made my wife feel at ease during the entire planning process and when the actual day came, people are still saying that our wedding was one for the record books (we have honest friends too). We couldn't have received this praise if it wasn't for Kate taking on the day coordinating with the caterer, dj, band, florist, family, friends, co-workers, etc. Husbands out there, do your wife and yourself a favor, bring Kate onto your team - she has my highest recommendation.

    Kate did an incredible job helping us with day of coordination for our wedding in September 2015. We planned our wedding from two states away, and I was expecting her participation to mostly take place on the day of the wedding, but Kate went above and beyond for us. She helped me plan things I had not even thought about, followed up and managed all of our vendors in the month before, and made sure we were encountering as little stress as possible on the day of our wedding. If you think that things won't pop up on the day of--you're wrong! It was such a relief to know that I could trust Kate to take care of things I did not want to be distracted by before the ceremony.

    Not only is Kate an incredibly warm person, but she is smart as a whip and gets things done! She puts a lot of time, effort, and love into making your wedding day the best it can possibly be. We could not have had our wedding without her!! I can't recommend her highly enough--she's fabulous.

    We absolutely loved working with Kate! When searching for a wedding planner, we were very picky because not only did we want someone who was organized, but also wanted someone we would vibe with and love being around. Wedding's can be stressful and chaotic but Kate made the experience fun and she always kept us calm. She had an awesome attitude throughout the whole process and even met with us on random occasions when she didn't have to. It was easy to tell, she truly cared and it was important to her that our day was perfect. We were so happy with our decision to work with Blue Door Creative!

    Blue Door Creative was hands down a game changer when it came to planning our big day! My husband and I have been together for almost 14 years (since high school) and with that comes a big wedding surrounded by our friends, family, and everyone that has been with us since the beginning. I work in real estate and my husband works in production so our schedules are insanely hectic and busy. There was very little downtime for me to even conceive of planning a wedding on our own, especially with a guestlist made up of about 250 people. We met with Kate and immediately we knew we were in good hands. She understood our vision and had amazing contacts who turned out to be incredible the day of and completely within out budget (which was not big!). She was flexible to our needs, scheduling and went above and beyond in terms of communication to make sure we didn't miss a beat. She made what seemed like the most overwhelming tasks easy for us and spelled out everything on a regular basis (what was coming up, what we need to work on immediately and things to approve or think about) also who needed to do what. She offered packages which really worked for us as well because we weren't totally sure what services we were going to need (ultimately it was more than I ever thought!). The day of the wedding was PERFECTION, she handled ALL of the coordination herself and I wasn't bothered with one thing. I was able to enjoy the important things and literally just show up to the most beautiful setting. As cliche as it sounds it really was the best day of our life thus far and I don't know if would have happened without Kate!

    Besides saying I do, this will be the easiest and best decision you'll make for your wedding! Kate's vision, professionalism, flexibility, and enthusiasm for our wedding day far surpassed all of my hopes for a wedding planner. Our destination wedding, in the deep woods of northern Michigan, brought numerous challenges, including a torrential downpour and thunderstorm (it was good luck!), but Kate never faltered and the ceremony/reception went off without a hitch. She helped keep my sanity and whits about me during set up the night prior, and the morning of while crashes of thunder were heard above. Kate has a delight about her that cannot be found in all wedding vendors, trust me, I've vetted several. I could not imagine my wedding day without her- a day I'll never forget, and was able to enjoy from start to finish thanks to Blue Door Creative!
