    A dream brought to life

    Working with Kate was so easy and she understood my vision completely. I didn’t have many inspo pics, more a description of what I wanted my wedding to feel like and Kate really brought that feeling to life. Mine and my bridal party bouquets were beautiful and when I walked into our reception room I cried at how perfect and romantic the room looked. Kate was really easy to work with and was honest about where and what should I use my budget on. My wedding day was a dream brought to life and that’s a huge part of the wonderful work Kate and her team did!

    Kate & her team are the best!

    Kate was a pleasure to work with - from our initial conversation all the way to wedding day she was professional, sweet, and extremely talented. She listened to my vision and fine-tuned it using her professional judgement, which I appreciated. When I saw the reception room on wedding day I was brought to tears at how beautiful everything came together - it was one-of-a-kind and so overwhelmingly personal. I am so happy we used Katydid and would recommend her to everyone!

    Kate at Katydid did a fabulous job creating an elegant backdrop for my daughter's fall wedding

    Kate at Katydid was a pleasure to work with. Kate was always available to answer questions and address any concerns that we had. She got to know my daughter's personality and style and was thus able to create the perfect setting for her fall wedding.

    Kate and Leslie get it done!

    Working with Kate and her team on my daughter's wedding was an absolute pleasure. They are so much more than talented florists. My daughter put her vision for her wedding in front of them...and Katydid brought the magic. We couldn't be happier.

    Pure perfection!!

    This is the note that I sent to Kate right after my daughter's wedding:
    Dear Kate and Leslie,
    How can I even begin to thank you? The wedding was beyond anything that we could ever have hoped for. It has been an absolute pleasure working with you both. It all began when everyone saw those beautiful bouquets at the church and then the guests collectively gasped when the entered the ballroom at the club! Your talent, creativity, warmth ( lots of support!) was everything to me. How lucky we were to find you! I will send pictures soon… it is a wedding we will all remember with flooded streets the days before the event, but I had a team behind me to ensure that all would be fine! The happy couple are on a flight to the Maldives for their honeymoon and when they come home, I know that they will also be reaching out to you. My daughter said yesterday “ Kate saw my vision and more, Mom. It’s so beautiful!”
    Your creativity, talent and warm personality was everything that we hoped for and I feel so lucky to have found you!

    There are no words to describe how happy we were to work with Kate. From the first meeting to the end product, it was perfectly seamless. Kate and her team are incredibly talented and seeing the final product on the day of our wedding took our breath away! Kate can see the vision and execute flawlessly! We couldnt have been luckier to work with her and the team and highly recommend Katydid for your upcoming wedding!!

    Best Wedding Planner EVER!

    Kate Duffy was our wedding planner for our daughter’s wedding on June 4, 2021. The wedding was for 200+ guests under the largest tent that Sperry makes on and adjacent to our property on the Jersey shore. There were many vendors involved unlike a wedding at a wedding venue or club where the venue provides everything but the music, the couple and the guests. Kate was excellent at organizing and managing this from start to finish. Her financial estimates matched the final cost perfectly. She had excellent relationships with many vendors giving us many options. With Kate’s help we ended up with an outstanding group of vendors which included one of the top chefs in New Jersey, a spectacular band from New York as well as lighting vendors, the tent company, the lighting and decoration vendor, the furniture and china vendor, transportation. We even had to hire a landscaper to level the property, relocate some 12 foot hedges and provide beautiful floral plantings. The flowers were provided by Kate’s floral company who are excellent in their own right.. They put together a magical wonderland inside the tents. Yes tents, we required one for the cocktail location and one for the reception with covered walkways linking them. To a sense of the scale of this, the caterer brought over 60 people from chef to waiter.What made all this particularly challenging was the fact that the Covid pandemic caused the rescheduling of the wedding three times. That required that Kate get the vendors to roll over their commitment to three different dates. This required close professional relationships and acute management skill. There were many moving parts in this whole project with multiple areas of possible debacles of which there were none. The wedding day itself went off smoothly as Kate had a professional event coordinators on site making sure things kept moving. Kate Duffy is a highly skilled professional with impeccable taste and strong relationships in the area. It was an unforgettable day thanks to Kate Duffy and her amazing assistant Leslie.

    My favorite vendor!

    Kate was the most incredible person to work with. We unfortunately had to postpone our June 2020 wedding due to covid but still had a small ceremony on our original date, followed by a big reception in 2021. Kate did the florals for both days and we couldn’t have been happier with the outcome. She is incredibly talented, unique and creative. She truly brings your vision to life. Kate is kind, organized, professional and responsive. Do not hesitate to book her!!

    Breathtaking beauty and exceptional service

    I originally met with Kate about 8 months ago for our fall wedding plans. During our initial meeting, Kate was beyond helpful, guiding my fiancé and I in the right direction, to achieve our vision for a fall ceremony and reception. We were thrilled with the timely delivery of her creative proposals. Due to the pandemic, we aggressively shifted our wedding plans to August, which also resulted in an aesthetic shift with the floral design, gearing towards a summer/beachy look & feel. Thankfully, Kate was available and eager to support our wedding celebrations and with a short two week timeline, the execution and final outcome was jaw dropping. We cannot thank her enough for her professionalism, floral inspirations and how everything complemented our special day. Our guests were very complimentary of the beauty she created, which left a last impression on our venue too. To her future clients, you will NOT be disappointed. Katydid is the real deal with the art of floristry!

    Absolutely Amazing

    We loved everything about working with Kate and her team. She was responsive, she walked through every aspect of the day, and she also was able to meet our price point based on our desired look and overall spend. She truly brought everything we imagined to life and I can't imagine a more perfect day!

    Wonderful attention to detail!

    Kate of Katydid was amazing! She completely got my vision and made it happen so beautifully. She’s an incredibly nice woman, and cares about every last detail of your event. I received so many compliments about our flowers! We got married at the Spring Lake Bath & Tennis Club, and she knew the venue inside and out, which was a huge plus as well. She thought of things that wouldn’t have even crossed my mind. For example, she knew how many chavari chairs the venue had, and knew that with my guest count I would end up having a mix of different types of chairs unless I inquired about renting extra. I SO appreciated her attention to detail and having a cohesive look for everything! I trusted her eye so much, I even emailed her when I was trying to pick out a menu for the table!
    Beautiful work and excellent service! Would absolutely recommend!

    Creativity Beyond Compare

    Kate Duffy and her team at Katydid executed our vision beautifully and surpassed all expectation! The flowers took your breath away - romantic and magical! Kate is also excellent in helping manage a budget, with sage advice on what in the decor makes the most impact, and what can be excluded. And, lastly, Kate and her staff are an absolute delight to work with. The vendors she works with are all very professional. I recommend their design services without hesitation!! You will not be disappointed!~~~

    Kate and Leslie beyond exceeded all my dreams of what my wedding flowers and decor would look like. I was not very good with putting into words exactly what I wanted, but it was like they just knew. The transformation of my venue ballroom and chapel were absolutely incredible and I can’t thank and recommend them enough!

    Floral design at its finest!

    I can't even begin to explain how much I loved working with Kate and her team at Katydid Floral Design. Kate completely got my vision from the minute we sat down together to discuss our wedding. Not only did Kate COMPLETELY nail my vision, she far exceeded anything I could have ever come up with in my mind. She took all my floral fantasies and made them reality. If you want your floral design at your wedding to be a showstopper, you will hire Kate. From here on out, I will never work with another florist!

    Elegant Dream Wedding Executed to Perfection!

    Working with Katydid was a dream! Kate and Leslie took my daughter's vision of a fairytale wedding and executed to perfection at Park Chateau Sept 2018. They're expertise and exquisitely tasteful inspiration extended far beyond stunning florals and tablescapes. Their elegant touch influenced everything from invitations to favors and we couldn't be more grateful! They are consummate professionals and we always felt our vision coming through with sophistication and a graceful ease. Katydid gets our highest recommendation, we will never use anyone else for event planning.

She took our preferences and vision and truly made it come to life. She suggested things I never even thought of! You will not be disappointed with Katy and her team! My flowers were absolutely stunning and I am still receiving compliments about how beautiful they were!

    A Perfect Experience!

    Katydid flowers did a beautiful job for our wedding at Bonnet Island Estate! From the moment I met Kate she saw my vision and it was truly brought to life on my big day! From the ceremony flowers, to the ballroom, to the personal flowers, everything was exactly what I asked for. She even made a special request happen when she found my beer loving husband hops for his boutineers! I remember being so excited when we got that email! True detail! What was also awesome is that Kate knew the venue so well and was able to suggest ideas to me that otherwise I wouldn’t have thought of. Lastly, she was able to help me fit her work into my budget and made suggestions as to where I could cut back if I needed to. Katydid did a wonderful job!
