Meredith B. Sent on 11/29/2023Best wedding planner in the industry
Where to even begin with Katie... she is absolutely amazing and was clearly destined to be a wedding planner. When we had our first venue tour, our event manager recommended Katie Brooks Event Co. for both planning services and decor/furniture rentals (check out Bespoke Rentals if you haven't yet!). We initially wanted to hire her for month-of coordination but ended up going with a partial planning package, and she generously included a design board since that was an area where we needed more insight and expertise.
Katie and her team were so thoughtful and communicative throughout the planning process, even when there were complications with our venue. She hadn't dealt with a venue moving before, yet she and her team handled it so graciously and didn't miss a beat. Her vendor recommendations were fantastic and mindful of our budget, and the platform she uses (Aisle Planner) kept us organized every step of the way throughout our year of planning. It contained a to-do list, vendor contacts, budgeting tool, seating chart, and everything else you would need for your dream day.
We came into the planning process with a lot of ideas but weren't sure how everything would come together from a design perspective. Our theme/vibe was midcentury modern + boho with lots of color, florals, velvet, etc. Katie's design board brilliantly captured what we were envisioning, and seeing it come to life on our wedding day was incredible. Everything from the decor to the event flow felt so authentic to us and our vision. Our guests were gushing about how gorgeous, unique, and cohesive it was. It's like Katie crawled into our brains and created exactly what we were hoping for!
We can't thank the Katie Brooks Event Co. team enough for making our wedding so beautiful and seamless. It was a pleasure to work with them and we'd recommend them x100! -

Unmatched experience for the best day of our lives!
11/10!! It’s hard to write how incredibly grateful we are to have found Katie and her team at Katie Brooks Event Co!
My now husband and I are not from NC as we decided to have a destination wedding there after visiting and falling in love with the state! Searching through IG and the internet, I found Katie Brooks Event Co and scheduled a call with them! We connected instantly!
At the time, we already had a few vendors booked, so we were looking for partial planning and day of coordination. Not only did their team go above and beyond to make our day perfect, but they truly became great friends that I miss talking to each week!! It makes me tear up thinking of the incredible wedding day we had thanks to all their hard work! It’s hard to describe how incredibly talented Katie and her team are - they are the BEST!! They gave advice when I needed it, they gave options for us when requested, and made decisions when they knew what to do from past experiences! The. Dream. Team.
I was worried I would be so stressed the day of our wedding (my family was worried about me too lol) because of everything that goes into the big, exciting day! When it came down to it, I was calm and able to soak in every minute and it’s all thanks to Katie and Anna Blue!! ❤️ I knew they had everything organized and under control and trusted them to do what they do best…they did just that and more! Our guests love everything about our wedding day! My family never stopped crying! It was a day filled with happy tears from start to finish!
We are forever grateful to have had them a part of our special day! Thanks, Katie and Anna Blue! Love you gals! My advice to future brides…book the planner!! You won’t regret it - enjoy the moments that matter on your big day and leave the rest to the pros! -

Katie Brooks Event Co. is incredible!
The Groom…yes, the Groom is writing this review 1 year after the amazing wedding day that Katie Brookes and her team helped us plan. Even after a full year, the vivid memory of the beautiful wedding day allows this review to be written without the use of pictures or notes. For a little background, my wife and I were able to bid the highest to win the wedding auction that Katie and a team of Vendors put together in support of those families affected by the tragic golf cart accident that took the lives of several people and severely injured others. Through the kindness and generosity of Katie Brookes Wedding planning and the team of Vendors (Katie knows some AMAZING vendors), the money used to bid on the wedding weekend auction went directly to those families affected. This auction and support of the families affected by such a tragedy speaks to the beautiful hearts that Katie and her team have, and we are still in awe of it.
Katie Brooke’s team was phenomenal in helping us bring a wedding vision to reality. Their support in our vision, along with their expertise in planning, coordinating, and day-of services allowed us to have a wedding that exceeded our expectations of what we thought was possible. We were not the type of couple that had it all figured out so Katie and Anna Blue were a perfect team to help guide us through the process, help bring options to the table, and assist in decision making that would result in a day we that was nothing short of magical. From the coordination of vendors to the planning of how things would look and timing of the events of the day, this team in second to none in accomplishing that goal and helping take all the stress away that some might feel on what is one of the biggest days in a couple’s journey together.
Professional, coordinated, timely, confident, passionate, patient, welcoming, calming, positive, encouraging, detailed and some of the many adjectives we would use to describe Katie and her team. The fun we were able to share with Katie and her team made what could be a very stressful process so enjoyable.
We cannot thank Katie and her team enough for helping us have the most amazing wedding day! And we are grateful for the friendship that was created and is still standing. We just cannot praise them enough... amazing at what the do, and amazingly wonderful people! We love you Katie and team!! -

I hired Katie and her team to help me plan my wedding in November. Katie and the team were amazing from beginning to end. I had a big vision but did not know how to pull it together. Katie and her team did just that. I highly recommend choosing her add-on option of a design board. The board made interviewing additional vendors very easy and also allowed me to see my vision, communicate my vision, and helped the team keep my vision intact throughout the process. On my wedding day, I was able to 100% focus on getting ready, and not once did I worry about the setup of the venue.
This team was extremely organized and communicated quickly and on schedule. There were times when I had questions for the vendor and the response I got was that the vendor had already discussed my question with the venue.
The team is truly a dream team, you will not regret hiring them! -

Hands down, the best wedding planning team!!
If you’re looking for a dream team to design and coordinate your wedding — look no further!!! Katie and her team are the best of the best. After quickly realizing there was no way we could plan our own wedding with a 300+ guest count… I found Katie from a CLT wedding Facebook group — and I knew I had to work with her!!! Katie and her team are incredibly organized, detail-oriented, full of energy, and have the best recommendations and advice to make your wedding a dream come true. I had a very specific vision in mind for our wedding and Katie and her team turned my vision into a reality! If you’re looking for a sign on whether or not to work with a wedding design/planning team — this is your sign! I promise you’ll be in the best hands possible and you will not regret it! Katie - thank you, we love you, and are so grateful for you and your team!!!! -

Simply AMAZING. Katie's entire team were amazing from start to finish. I am a super visual person and struggled to visual my wedding/decor while planning. It didn't help that I had a destination wedding, so I couldn't visit the venue to picture everything. Katie understood this and created a design board for me, but it didn't stop there. When I asked for help visualizing the seating charts etc, she even sent me images of past wedding to help. Let me tell you IT HELPED SO SO MUCH! Every question I had was answered quickly either via email, text, call, or in our meetings. My day of planner was Anna and she was on top of it. Every detail big or small was spot on and she made my day go perfectly! I also rented items from Katie's rental service and they added the finishing touch to my decor. Lastly, after realizing that I would not be able to drop of my bouquet off to my florist to get it preserved (destination wedding problems) Katie offered to drop it off on her way home (it was also out of her way). Truly an amazing company and group of girls. They are delightful to work with, pay attention to the little things, and will make your dream come to life. 10 out of 10 would recommend! :) -

Shelly M. Sent on 09/10/2022It's a big decision - choose wisely :-)
My daughter had the confidence in Katie for the entire planning process, so she was calm, stress free, and able to enjoy herself. Katie and her staff were professional and dependable. Weddings are as individual as the couple getting married, and with all the details involved, planning is best left to professionals. -

Katie and her team were absolutely amazing to work with during the wedding process and on my wedding day! As we all know, a wedding can be very stressful with all the last minute details, decorations, coordination, communication, and set up/breakdown that is required... Thanks to katie my day was absolutely perfect and I didn't worry about a single thing. The timeline was seamless, and they made sure every one of my requests was answered and nothing slipped through the cracks. On top of that, they made the venue look amazing!!! It was the most stress free day and I would 100% hire them again!!!! -

Surpassed all expectations!
Katie and her team were instrumental in making the wedding of our dreams come to life. They are responsive, kind, and have an excellent network of vendors they suggested who were all amazing. -

A Dream Come True
Katie and her team were absolutely incredible! They made our day run so smoothly. We utilised their month of planning service and our only regret is maybe not using them full-time :) Katie is very organised and easy to communicate with. On our wedding day we had absolutely no worries. Katie made sure that everything ran perfectly, even with a location change due to rain. Thank you Katie Brooks team!! -

Above and Beyond Wedding Planner
Katie and her team made all of our wedding hopes and dreams come true! KBE is responsive, hardworking, and thorough. They did an outstanding job of handling all the details (quotes, timeline, meetings, etc.) and made sure our vendors were all set for the big day. Several of our vendors have commented on how organized and prepared KBE was on our wedding day. Katie did an amazing job of our easing our nerves and planning our day down to the minute, but she also made my husband and I feel so comfortable throughout the process. Katie and her team are simply the BEST and I cannot recommend them enough. If you are looking for a wedding planner that will go above and beyond for you, Katie is your girl. -

Erica Sent on 05/31/2022Everything was perfect!
We booked Katie at the start of our wedding planning knowing we would need some help and realizing most venues required a day of planner. I honestly don’t know what I would have done without her support. We ended up with her middle package, and I’m glad we did! I would have NEVER been able to pull off everything myself. She was there with any questions we had and all the recommendations in our budget. I never felt compelled to go with a more expensive vendor. I think there’s something to say about a planner that truly does stick to your budget and listens to what you and your partner want, not what will make them look good. The stress of wedding planning is real, and if I did it again I would have booked the next package up! I sincerely would recommend her and her team. -

I was also a vendor at a Highlands, NC wedding that Katie was coordinating. The weekend of the wedding we got hit by the biggest snowstorm the area had seen in years. Needless to say this brought up an entire list of complications and added logistical stuff to the weekend. Many vendors and guests were literally snowed in or stranded due to the storm. Despite all the chaos the storm brought with ith KB kept everyone calm, continued to keep everything organized and pulled off a beautiful wedding ceremony and reception. It's a weekend that I'll always talk about when sharing my wedding experiences.
Props to Katie for making it happen. -

Look no further for the perfect wedding coordination team!
Bailey and Katie were amazing from start to finish! They were on point with all the details leading up to our wedding, but I have to say that I couldn’t have asked for better coordination on the day of. We didn’t need to worry about anything except to show up, relax, and wait to be told when and where to go. Bailey stayed connected with all the vendors to ensure everything was synched up, so it all went off without a hitch. We couldn’t have asked for a nicer and more professional team. Highly recommend!! -

Wedding planner
Katie helped us plan our dream wedding this past October! We couldn’t have asked for anyone better, she truly helped make it such a special day that we will remember forever! I knew from our first phone call that she was going to be there every step and she absolutely was and made the wedding planning process a whole lot stressful which I’m so thankful for! She went above and beyond between communicating to all of our vendors, answering mine and my dad’s questions day or night and her attention to detail was incredible! She has a phenomenal team that assisted her and again made our wedding day the most amazing day ever! I wish I could relive it over and over, but I have lots of pictures and videos for that :) -

This girl knows what she is doing!
She made day of planning coordination seamless.
Super easy and pleasant to work with, wouldn’t have wanted to hire anyone else. Very responsive to emails and made sure all of my vendors were up to speed. She had a answer for all my questions and was very professional and flexible to work with. Access to Aisle planner was very helpful as well when it came to seating arrangements and keeping up with payments.
She checked in with me on the day of and took the reins from there. I didn’t have to think about anything. One thing I would suggest is a check in with the groom and groomsman as well on the day of the wedding just to make sure they know what’s going on.
Overall 10/10 recommend -

Katie Is the kindest soul to ever exist. She is extremely professional and more detailed than you could ever imagine. Her work is her life and she pours every ounce of herself into making sure your wedding is absolutely perfect. She not only had a list of tips and recommended vendors but she created such a detailed and FUNCTIONAL timeline. On top of it she made sure I (the bride) and my husband were comfortable and taken care of the entire time. I mean she literally brought us our food! Every second of the day she was attentive and ensuring each vendor was doing their part. Our day was beyond perfect. I literally couldn’t have imagined our wedding without her (& her mama) !!! First vendor I booked and I wouldn’t have changed a single thing. If you book Katie..(you better!!!) you would never regret it, and we’ll after your wedding you’d still be stress free! Best experience of my life!! -

Dream Team
Katie and Bailey were such a truly wonderful team to work with for my wedding. I worked with Katie for the partial planning & day-of coordination, and she was incredible; Katie was always happy to set up a time to chat when I needed advice or vendor recs, and she kept me on track throughout the planning process. Her day-of services were flawless and invaluable. I was so busy in the days leading up to the wedding because I planned my wedding in NC from Washington state, and Katie and her team seriously came through for us!!! You simply won’t find a better planner, not to mention her prices are much more affordable than other planners I considered. 10/10 would recommend Katie Brooks Event Co. Thank you Katie ❤️ -
