Top Notch Wedding Planning!! My daughter and I had the pleasure of working with Katy to help us plan her destination wedding. We could not have had the beautiful – in budget wedding we had without Coastal Coordinating’s help. I live in Michigan and my daughter lives on the other side of Florida, so we relied on Katy for recommendations on EVERYTHING!
I first met with Katy and gave her the budget we were planning to spend on the wedding, and she helped set the budget for all items needed / wanted for the wedding. We met with multiple venues that were all different types – minimal decorations needed or all decorations needed. Katy provided suggestions on vendors for rentals, floral, photography, hair / makeup, and decorations. We could not have pulled the wedding off without her. My daughter had gone on her own and found the DJ. A few months before the wedding we heard thru Coastal Coordinating’s connections. The DJ my daughter found stopped showing up to his contracted events and was not planning to show for our wedding after taking our deposit. Coastal Coordinating had quickly helped us in find another DJ for the wedding – still within budget without leaving us without a DJ for our wedding and reception. We met with Katy multiple times while planning the wedding, to make sure we had all details covered, she followed up with vendors, helped coordinate payments, worked with the resort on any questions that arose, and even helped with a few disagreements my daughter and I had. Day of wedding coordination was all done by the Coastal Coordinating team, even though the wedding venue / resort provided coordination staff. Coastal Coordinating outdid themselves with making every detail we had planned successfully implemented. We did not have any hiccups (that I know of, if there were, I never knew any different) but I know if we did, they would’ve had it all taken care of quickly. The money we spent to have a wedding coordinator was well worth EVERY penny and MORE. I would highly recommend Coastal Coordinating to help plan your wedding or any other special event. You will be so happy you had someone to help along the way!!

I don’t think I can thank Katy & Coastal Coordinating enough!!!! They made my dream wedding weekend a reality and stress free too! Literally I learned later my marriage license was lost in the mail, we didn’t order enough scratch tickets for table…and Katy was a superhero saving the day! Fixing everything. She even got me out of an elevator that got stuck. Can’t make it up! She’s so kind, so patient, so caring. SOOO detailed oriented!!!! A destination brides dream…and even if I lived in FL, you should hire her! You won’t have to worry about a thing! SHE is the reason my wedding weekend was perfection. THANK YOU! -

Cayla was our day of coordinator and she helped us pull off our dream wedding. With our package, she got involved around 60 days before our wedding and made sure all our vendors were in line, had meetings with all of our vendors and us, answered all of questions, had some extra props/supplies for us to borrow, and created our timeline so that everything ran smoothly day of. She was so much fun to work with and everything came out exactly how we wanted. We are so grateful for all her hard work and would definitely recommend Coastal Coordinating (and Cayla!) for any wedding planning.Coastal Coordinating's reply:
Your wedding day was absolutely beautiful and I am so happy everything came out exactly how you wanted. It was so lovely to work with you and I am so grateful to have met you! Congratulations again and thank you both so much! Best wishes as you start this exciting new chapter! -

We opted to do the day of coordinating and the Coastal Coordinating team absolutely exceeded our expectations. I want to specifically give a shout out to Stella as she was our coordinator. She started reaching out 3 months before our wedding and without her I would have been a mess. She is so kind and professional. The day of our wedding Stella and her assistant Maddie made our day seamless. Do not hesitate to book with Coastal Coordinating!Coastal Coordinating's reply:
From Stella:
Thank you so much for your kind review, Sierra! You two, your families and all of your guests were such a sweet group and for that I cannot thank YOU enough! I'm so glad you guys enjoyed your day and that Maddie and I were able to play a part in that, it truly means the world to us! Don't be a stranger if you ever need anything! :)
Xoxo, Stella
From Maddie:
You guys and your bridal party were amazing to work for! Everyone was so sweet and polite, which always goes a long way with us. Thank you for being so awesome and enjoy married life!

With choosing the reception venue that we did, my husband and I were required to have at least a "day of coordinator". Prior to knowing that, I was 100% set on trying to plan the whole thing all by myself. Boy am I glad it was a requirement because I would've lost my mind day of. I'm as grateful to Alli as much as our photographer, and that's saying A LOT! It's hard to manage an event as big as a wedding, and there's no way I would've been able to do it myself and enjoy the moment. Alli made sure my husband and I had nothing to worry about! The day after, despite having family visiting our home, I was prepared to take back some rental pieces to the bakery, but I didn't see any of the pieces. My first thought, "talk to Alli." I sent her a quick text asking if she knew what happened, and she responded that she had already returned the pieces! For any bride or groom determined to plan the wedding themselves, AT LEAST get a day of coordinator! Allow yourself to truly enjoy and soak in the time of celebration! To guarantee the enjoyment, I 100% recommend Coastal Coordinating!Coastal Coordinating's reply:
Kacyie, thank you so much for taking the time to write this for me. I truly appreciate it! I absolutely loved working with you and helping with the planning process and making sure the wedding day went smoothly. I had a blast with you, your family and friends! You and Stone deserve the best in your marriage and can't wait to see what it has in store for you.
Xoxo,

Highly recommend Coastal Coordinating. Since day 1 they were helpful with answering questions and providing recommendations. We booked through Coastal for a “day of planner” and Cayla was perfect ensuring that we had a stress-free experience. Cayla started helping us weeks before the actual wedding making sure she understood our vision, that our timeline was perfect and vendors all knew when to show up. I was worried I had forgotten about something – but having Cayla there to check everything to ensure a flawless day was so helpful!
The day off Cayla and the rest of Coastal team helped make our vision come to life– everything from coordinating the vendors to décor on the tables. In addition to handling the vendors, Cayla also helped with décor and ensuring the extra details that we brought were set up and torn down. Every detail was thought of and taken care of and we can’t thank Cayla and the rest of the Coastal team for making that happen! Our friends and family commented on how well the event stayed on schedule, everyone knew where to be and how everything went perfect – we couldn’t have done it without Cayla! -

Working with Katy and her Coastal Coordinating team was the best decision we made for our wedding planning! We sent her a few pictures and described what we wanted and she absolutely nailed our style. We had the most perfect night and it was more than we could ever have imagined! Everything was so organized and smooth, my husband and I didn't have to worry about anything except having a great time, and it was all possible because of Katy and her team. I HIGHLY recommend working with Coastal Coordinating, you won't regret it! -

Most Incredible Experience
If you are thinking about hiring Coastal Coordinating for your next event/wedding, DO NOT HESITATE!! Book them now!!! Katy is truly incredible as well as the lovely team. From the minute we had our first phone call to our final goodbyes on the wedding day, I could not be more impressed. She was professional, creative, and easy-going. We had a somewhat complicated wedding with a Hindu Ceremony, followed by a lunch, and a Jewish ceremony with reception, all in one day!! Before hiring a wedding planner, I always considered myself a pragmatic and organized person. I felt that I could handle planning a wedding on my own, but after months of creative roadblocks, and spending every waking moment combing through reviews of vendors only to be disappointed or ghosted, I felt it was time to call in the professionals. Katy held my hand throughout the process and made the impossible seem achievable. She paid attention to both mine and my partner’s wishes, our budget, our customs and traditions, while making the process fun! She has an extensive list of vendors that know and work with her on a weekly basis. She makes time for you and sets up check-ins to calm even the most anxious of brides. Her catalog and inventory is expansive and I would definitely opt for the full-service package if you are having a wedding over 150 people or a slightly more complicated wedding. I truly cannot express my gratitude for Katy and the Coastal coordinating team, they made our wedding the best weekend of our lives and it would not have happened without them. Seriously. BOOK THEM NOW!

With all the "DIY Wedding" trends surfacing the internet, the thing that no one ever tells you about planning a wedding is how much you CANNOT do on your own. Katy Turchich along with all the beautiful women at Coastal Coordinating made every moment of my husband and my wedding a dream come true without the hassle and stress of last minute hiccups that are bound to happen on the big day! Planning a wedding during COVID could have been a nightmare, but thanks to Katy, it was the most magical day of my life! Katy was extremely responsive, emailed within 24 hours and answered phone call to discuss any and every detail that I had questions about for the big day. When I decided I needed a last minute change on the schedule, Katy was a "Yes Person" and immediately updated all my vendors about any final touches we wanted to add. When a guest showed with a random plus one (without RSVP'ing for it) Katy and her team seamlessly reorganized the table seating. I highly recommend working with anyone at Coastal Coordinating to make all your wedding dreams and wishes a reality without having to lift a finger on the day of your big "I Do's." It was not until I walked in to the ballroom and saw my vision come to life that I realized how much I would have had to do to decorate my venue (instead of get ready and enjoy the day with family) if Katy and Emily hadn't been there to realize my wedding vision. Thank you to everyone at Coastal Coordinating. For the price, you will not regret all the help (and emotional support) you get from this vendor! Would do it all over again in a heart beat! -

I have no idea what I would've done without this amazing team, especially Erin. I always heard people say something will go wrong the day of your wedding. However, because of coastal coordinating, we made it through the entire day and night with ease and everything ran smoothly. For brides planning your own wedding or with multiple vendors, I can't recommend Coastal Coordinating enough! The entire day was perfect! -

Our wedding was absolutely everything we wanted and even more, all thanks to El Swanson from Coastal Coordinating. El was very responsive, attentive, professional, and an absolute joy to work with and be around on your big day. She made sure everything ran smoothly without any hip-cups, and she kept us in the timeline! It was so nice having her there for our big day. She is amazing and we 10/10 recommend her and the company! -

I cannot recommend Coastal Coordinating to those planning a wedding enough!! I can’t even imagine how the planning process would have gone without the amazing help of our coordinator, Chloe! She truly took so much stress off of my plate, made sure everything was on track, and made the process fun. Chloe made sure all of my requests and visions were met and I felt like she was one of my friends helping me plan the wedding. The day of the wedding went flawlessly thanks to Chloe and Kendall, and I truly cannot thank them and the Coastal team enough!!🤍 -

We are from Chicago and had a destination resort wedding on Amelia island,FL. I was so nervous to forget something or not think of something I was supposed to have done and my budget wasn’t large. They worked with me to craft a package that fit in our price. I had the pleasure of working with Emily and she truly went above and beyond to help me with small details and the day of, she was ON IT! Everything was perfect and I trusted her 10000%. Stop scrolling and call them ! -

Wow! I can not say enough nice things about Coastal Coordinating! They are beyond amazing! I utilized them as a Day of Wedding Coordinator and I'm so grateful I did! I worked with Jess and she was very responsive to my needs and ensured everything was perfectly orchestrated. I did not expect such amazing communication and professionalism. She was very attentive to my emails and put all my worries at ease. She sent lists and a timeline of all our wedding planning and what to expect. At the reception, Jess and Ashley set everything up beautifully ! I was in shock when I walked into the reception venue. Far exceeded my expectations! -

We were fortunate enough to be able to work with Cayla for our day-of wedding needs at Isla Del Sol Yacht & Country Club. Cayla went ABOVE AND BEYOND in all of our planning and preparation. She started working with us the month before our big day and kept us organized throughout the entire process. She coordinated with all of our vendors and at all times I felt completely confident and prepared for the wedding. We did a lot of DIY decor, centerpieces, etc. and Cayla assisted us in every part of set up and breakdown. We couldn't have done it without her and her assistants help!! I didn't have to lift a finger and was able to truly enjoy the whole day. I would highly recommend Coastal Coordinating for day-of and even full event planning if you want to have a perfectly smooth wedding day. -

We hired Coastal Coordinating for a day of planner and we were assigned Emily Ludke and her assistance Mallory. They were AMAZING!! We couldn’t have pulled it off without them. Emily was so helpful leading up to the wedding giving me advice and helped problem solve when my makeup artist cancelled the day before the wedding due to COVID. They were busy setting the venue up, but still managed to make sure my needs and my husbands needs were taken care of. The entire day went smoothly and everything turned out perfect. Emily is the sweetest person and we really cannot recommend her enough!! -

I have no words to describe how amazing Katy has been. We hired her in December 2020 for my February 2022 wedding, and she has been a DREAM to work with. Anything I ever needed, she was right there. ANYTHING. If you think you don't need a wedding planner, you are wrong! I had a wedding under 85 people, and I wouldn't have been able to get through the day without her. Every guest told me how calm I was day of, and even leading up to the wedding I was so relaxed. She thinks of everything and reaches out to all the vendors for you, and communicates with them, too. As someone who was transitioning jobs/roles and partaking in grad school, I needed Katy! Even though I'm Type A, I don't plan a wedding every day, which is why I went with Coastal Coordinating. On the day of the wedding, we had two planners, Katy, and her assistant, Kelsey. Kelsey was also such a huge help. She helped my husband with his hair, took care of a bridesmaid dilemma, and so much more. Katy and Kelsey were so attentive and made us feel like kings and queens throughout the entire day! I can't thank them enough for all they did to make my day a dream come true! Katy has truly become a friend, and I love her so dearly! -
