    Having Katelynn as our coordinator allowed us to truly enjoy our day!

    Katelynn was our month-of coordinator for our May 2022 wedding at Seven Branches and she was awesome to work with!

    She made the day run super smoothly. Her relaxed demeanor kept everyone calm and her attention to detail meant that everything was executed as envisioned and ran ahead of schedule without feeling rushed.

    We knew that she had everything handled which allowed us to leave the details to her and truly enjoy our day! We’re so glad we went with Katelynn and would 10/10 recommend her.

    Best wedding planner!

    Katelynn was the best wedding planner we could have asked for. From the start, she was very responsive to emails, answered all our questions and provided us with a helpful wedding checklist. She made the wedding day very easy- from very brief descriptions of how we wanted the decorations, she set everything up perfectly without us needing to help at all while also seamlessly keeping everyone on schedule. She made sure things ran completely smoothly and was very fun, kind and supportive. Would highly recommend!

    Great energy and trusted her completely!

    Katelynn was a huge help with our COVID wedding this year. She was so flexible and helped us with all of our last minute changes. Her help the day of the wedding was invaluable - it gave my husband and I the chance to truly enjoy our day knowing that we could trust her to handle everything. Her energy leading up to the big day was so refreshing too, she made sure to express her excitement and positivity for us and our families, even when we were super stressed. Highly recommend involving Katelynn in your big day!

    The absolute best!!!

    We searched near and far for a wedding day-of- coordinator. We had a tall order-- we wanted someone organized, fun and easy to work with, flexible, responsive, and someone who was reasonably priced since we were on a budget. I don’t remember how I found Katelynn but I’m so thrilled we did! From our first conversation over the phone, she was so calming, accommodating, experienced, responsive and sweet. We instantly felt at ease with her and knew we could trust her with our big day. She was a pleasure to work with throughout the planning process— accommodated our requests and was always so communicative with us and all the vendors. She made sure everything looked beautiful the day of, ensured everything went smoothly, and thanks to her, I was not stressed at all on our wedding (that is a lot coming from me). It was by far the best day of our lives and we are so grateful to Katelynn!!! She worked with us, our dj, and our “Tamada” which is a Ukrainian emcee to incorporate a lot of silly games and some Ukrainian traditions. If you are on the fence about getting a wedding coordinator or whom to hire, you will not regret going with Katelynn!!!

    I’ll have to post more photos when I get them from our photographer. Photo credit: Ben Ingram

    A super responsive calming force

    Katelynn is amazing. We hired her as our day-of coordinator and she was exactly what we needed. Everything was totally under control day-of - we didn’t have to worry about the thing. The 6 months leading up to the wedding she was incredibly responsive, full of good ideas when we hit a snag. Cannot recommend her enough!

    Thank you, Rehana!! Your wedding day was so fun, your guests and family were amazing, and I loved grooving to the band! Let's do it again! Cheers!! Xoxo

    Katelynn is the best!

    I am so happy that I found Katelynn. She is not only fun to work with, she is kind, upbeat, professional, responsive and organized. Katelynn worked with me in the few months leading up to our wedding and was always willing to meet up or have a phone call to go over ideas, walk through our venue and easily shift directions when I changed my mind about something. I would absolutely recommend hiring Katelynn. She was a joy to work with, and even our guests commented how great our wedding coordinator was.

    June 25th Yountville wedding

    We highly recommend Katelynn as a day of wedding planner. She did everything to make our event go so smoothly. My husband and I I felt very supported and carefree.
    She has such a warm, friendly and calm personality- perfect for this job!
    She worked so well with our vendors and the venue staff - very professionally and respectfully.
    And we felt she was very affordable.
    If you need a wonderful planner, Katelynn is your person.

    Awesome addition to our day!

    Katelynn was an amazing addition to our wedding day!! We handled most of the planning ourselves but I knew I wanted someone to help with all the last minute coordination & day of logistics. Katelynn was extremely responsive, helpful with resources, fun to work with, and excellent at making sure things got DONE! Highly recommend!

    Incredibly Talented Planner

    From the start to the finish Katelynn did such an incredible job!!! Seriously she was there every step of the way, she helped to make the day come to life. She was a rock to lean on when we needed to postpone due to COVID. The day of the wedding she helped with everything and still found time to help me with my dress when I needed it, as well as making sure I always had a drink in hand. I would 100 million percent recommend her to anyone that is in need of a planner. My day wouldn't have been the same without her!

    The best - we could not have done it without her!

    Katelynn was absolutely amazing to work with, and made everything come together so flawlessly. For the very beginning she supported our vision and brought a positive, flexible attitude to planning a wedding through all the uncertainty of late 2020. Her vendor recommendations for flowers, catering, and cake were all spot on and blew us away with their final product. And when our original venue fell through 6 weeks out, Katelynn helped us find a new – and better! – venue within two weeks. From the big things to the little details, she helped us navigate it all and was incredibly responsive by text, email, or phone any time questions came up. And day of, she was the first person on site and worked magic to get everything set up and looking beautiful while we were off getting ready. She went above and beyond in so many ways, and we can’t imagine the wedding being the joyous day it was without her help.

    Hire Katelynn Now!!

    Honestly, my wedding day was the most perfect day. After having my first wedding canceled due to COVID, it was hard for me to start from scratch. I didn't think the new wedding would be nearly as special as the first one we had planned. Luckily, I was completely wrong, and a lot of that is because if Katelynn! Prior to the wedding. she made planning easier, gave me suggestions of vendors I could use, kept in contact with me, and closer to the wedding day, she handled all the vendors and had multiple calls with me to ease any worries I had.

    The actual day was amazing and I really don't have one complaint. I also had other vendors tell me that she was the best coordinator that they had ever worked with. She was so sweet, and my family absolutely adored her as well. We all felt her calming presence, but I also knew if something were to happen, she could step up and handle it, no problem! I highly recommend Katelynn.

    Karsyn, thank you so so much! I loved working with you and your family! It was a day so full of love! I will never forget it! Xoxoxo

    Katelynn is fantastic!

    Katelynn is fantastic! She supported us through our 2020 wedding roller coaster, multiple date changes and ultimately a completely new concept for a micro-wedding that required a new venue, catering, and band/DJ change that she handled in stride. She really went above and beyond to communicate with our original venue and understand the regulations, made the perfect recommendations on what to include to make our micro wedding feel special, and ensured everything went smoothly the day of. If you’re looking for great, pressure-free support for your wedding day - whether you’re still doing something big or going micro - I couldn’t recommend Katelynn more highly!

    Save yourself the stress and hire Katelynn

    We hired Katelynn as our day of coordinator and it was the best decision we could have made. She went above and beyond with reaching and meeting up numerous times before even though she was only day of and meet all the vendors when they came to the site. As a couple we were chill and almost a bit too chill so I pretty much sent Katelynn a few Pinterest photos of what we liked for table set ups and I could not have hoped for a more beautiful set up. We also had photos for each guest as name places( this took us forever to make) which a friend delivered late to her and she STILL managed to get it all done. The days leading up to the wedding were very stressful with family and planning and she made the wedding day seamless and stress free. Highly recommend!

    Great Experience

    We loved having Katelynn as our day-of coordinator. She was so responsive and helpful leading up to our wedding and helped take care of a lot of little things we would have never thought of. She also dealt with our vendors before and during our wedding to made sure everyone knew what was going on. She made the day-of our wedding so much more relaxed and everything went smoothly. We are so glad we found her, she was well worth it!

    April 2019 Wedding

    Where to start! Katelynn was absolutely wonderful to work with for our April 2019 wedding in Kenwood, CA. From the early stages of planning, she recommended vendors and made sure I had updated checklists of tasks. She helped keep things organized and whenever I got a little bit stressed out, she was available to talk things through. Most of our vendors were recommendations from her, and everything was perfect. In the weeks leading up to the wedding Katelynn took care of all the heavy lifting - making sure my vendors had timelines, insurance, etc. On the day itself, Katelynn set everything up exactly as I had envisioned it (plus some extras I couldn't have even imagined!). Everything was beautiful and the day went off without a hitch. And at the end of the night, everything was neatly packed up for us to take home. Another note - the level of service Katelynn provided was incredibly high value for the price relative to other planners. I can't imagine doing this without Katelynn and would HIGHLY recommend her services.

    Katelynn thought of all the little things we missed

    Katelynn was a wonderful day-of-coordinator and made a huge contribution to an unforgettable wedding day.

    In the months leading up to the wedding Katelynn had periodic calls with us to make sure we were on track with planning and to capture every detail. She'd suggest things we hadn't thought of and helped alleviate any confusion or fears we had going into the big day. She also connected with our vendors to create a detailed timeline.

    She provided us complete peace of mind during the prep and wedding itself, putting out small fires and keeping everything on track. Our friends and family kept commenting on how calm and easy going we were, but that was possible because of Katelynn's help and commitment to us and what we needed.

    I hadn't thought of exactly how I wanted tables to look or what we might do with all the decorations and things we brought to the venue. I labeled what I could, but otherwise gave her creative control over our garlands, tables, dessert layout, and most everything else. She come up with the best touches that I would never have considered and is a natural at looking over a space and pinpointing creative solves and expressions.

    I highly recommend hiring Katelynn for your wedding!

    Katelynn Jessen

    As the mother-of-the- bride, I interacted a lot with Katelynn who was fun, enthusiastic, professional and nice. I felt like she was on our team and Katelynn coordinated all of the details of our wedding to run very smoothly. I felt as the day of coordinator, she went above and beyond our expectations, and really allowed us to relax knowing she was in charge of the details and timeline. She stayed through the reception to well after it was over helping organize the clean-up making sure everything was taken care of. She was the best.

    Great planner!

    Katelynn was the wedding planner for our wedding. We live in Nashville, and decided to do a destination wedding in Sonoma County. She was flexible, reliable, and went above and beyond to help make our wedding a success! It was perfect, and I believe Katelynn became a friend. She is so awesome, and down to earth. You can’t go wrong with her services.

    Katelynn was so amazing to work with, my wedding would not have even been close to what is was without her! She was my day of planner and was so organized and kept everything running smoothly all day long. She coordinated the whole set up of the wedding (with all the vendors), set up my desert bar and donut wall during cocktail hour, and lead the clean up after the wedding. Before hand, in the months and weeks leading up to the wedding, we met multiple times where she mapped out the timeline, layout, and photo list with me. She had templates that were so helpful and her experience was very beneficial because I didn’t know even where to start. She also helped me plan day of logistics such as timing for hair and makeup, lunch, family photo timing etc. There is so much to think about and do for the big day and Katelynn didn’t leave one thing out and made it so easy for me to really enjoy the day. She was in constant communication with all my vendors got them necessary timelines and layout information so I didn’t have to worry about any of it. She was so generous to me and gave me advice on things I wanted input on such as color schemes and decor details of the wedding. She set up all the signs I wanted and all the place settings flawlessly. Katelynn was so organized and easy to work with. She was always so communicative with me and would answer emails and texts immediately. Katelynn truly went above and beyond and made my wedding an unbelievable event where I just got to enjoy everything about it. I would recommend Katelynn Jessen to anyone looking for an event planner whether it’s day of or full on event planning. I really can’t say enough how her organization and perfectionist style made my wedding a huge success!

    Katelynn was our amazing day-of (and day-before) coordinator for our wedding, and we couldn't have had anyone better to keep everything under control! She has great attention to detail, management skills, and intuition. She asked all the questions that we didn't think to ask, and helped us answer them. She directed the many teams and projects of our DIY wedding perfectly and was an excellent problem solver. She was fully committed to bringing to life our vision for our wedding and took care of everything we needed on the day of, including managing supply hunting teams, set-up teams, decoration teams, and our food prep friends and helpers. She also skillfully maintained and managed our schedule throughout the event while completely minimizing our stress. We could not recommend her more highly! Thanks so much, Katelynn!!

    Katelynn planed and organized my beautiful wedding reception, no detail was over looked. I was overwhelmed with joy when we arrived to the site after our ceremony to see that everything was simply perfect. I had not a worry in the world on that very special day! Thank you Katelynn.
