HIRE HER! Katie is absolutely incredible. From the start she made such an impact with planning when she jumped in at the 30 day mark. She took so much off my plate, allowed me to be more present in the day to day, was proactive in coordinating with other vendors and of all of our vendors she was by far the biggest MVP throughout the entire process!! I am very much a type A bride so trusting someone with my vision didn’t come naturally. I truly was able to let go and she took the vision we collaborated on and made it better than I ever imagined!! I cannot thank her enough for masterfully dealing with the number of obstacles that popped up in the days leading up to the wedding and of course on the day itself, that I had no idea about until after. She is a professional through and through and I truly wouldn’t have been able to do this without her!! CANNOT RECOMMEND ENOUGH!! If you need any more convincing just look at some of the pictures of our tablescapes and ceremony decor, absolute 10 out of 10!!!l -

I cannot say enough great things about Katie and Lyndsey! Katie was like my wedding BFF! From our first phone call, I knew Katie was the wedding planner I wanted. Katie helped me take my ideas and turn them into reality. She always had recommendations for vendors. Katie coordinated with all of my vendors for my day and helped direct them where they needed to be and when they needed to be there. Katie and Lyndsey coordinated decorating my venue and it looked exactly the way I pictured it in my head! Katie took charge of my rehersal in the best way, leaving my wedding party telliing me it was the best and easiest rehersal they had been apart of. On my wedding day, she was my hero! She handled every detail with such grace and professionalism. If any problems came up during the day, I never knew about them. Investing in a wedding planner was the best decision I made. If you want the best wedding planner, Katie is it! -

Having Katie as a wedding coordinator was such a blessing. She thought about the details that I didn't know existed and made the wedding day so much less stressful. Katie took the time to get to know me and talk through how I wanted the day to go so that when the day came, I could focus on getting ready and not stress out about the decor and the timing. 10/10 recommend! -

Where to even begin with Katie and her team at Keystone! We hired her for partial planning at our wedding in Blowing Rock, NC. From our very first phone call, I felt a huge sense of relief. Katie is organized, attention-detailed, creative, and kind. She created a seamless and reasonable timeline- which several of our other vendors mentioned to me was the best they'd ever seen. Though we only spoke over the phone for months, I felt like I'd known her my whole life! When our wedding day arrived, she and Lyndsey greeted us with warmth and assurance. They immediately settled all my nerves, took initiative, and executed every tiny detail. They took care of all the nuances and hiccups during the day (including- but not limited to- an uneven dance floor, coordinating several bus trips, and helping us "dismiss" a rather intoxicated guest ha!). They set up our tent and escorted our guests in the DOWN-pouring rain without missing a beat. When the day was all said and done, I was truly sad to say goodbye! I cannot recommend Keystone Events enough, and can reliably say our wedding couldn't have gone on (at least without me losing my sanity) without them. -

We loved working with Katie for day of coordinating services! Katie ensured that our wedding day ran smoothly even with last-minute weather changes. She worked excellently with the other vendors and helped to keep the timeline running. Anything we needed, she was right there and more than willing to help. We loved her enthusiastic personality and positivity during the rehearsal and wedding day. I highly recommend Keystone Event Coordinating for all coordinating needs. -

Katie is the ABSOLUTE best! She did a full service planning for our wedding and she crushed it! We told her what we wanted and she made our day everything we wanted with minimal stress for us. I truly feel like I gained a friend during the planning process. If it isn't enough that we loved her....after the wedding our families raved about how amazing Katie is! -

We are so incredibly grateful to have Katie Rinehart as the conductor of our wedding planning journey, and we strongly recommend.
Reviews are only words, and words cannot fully describe the ease and joy my husband and I felt on our wedding day with Katie Rinehart as our wedding coordinator. We knew she was the perfect fit for us for three reasons.
1. Kate was my friend who I’d worked with at a local high school. I knew her to be exceptionally organized, outrageously fun, and genuinely kind, as she, outside of her scope of teaching, coordinated the teacher assembly dances, exam schedules, and other fun events and had a great connection with all her students and every staff member (as many teachers know, is not an easy feat).
2. When she left teaching to pursue her dream of being a wedding planner, we attended a wedding she coordinated for one of our best friends and watched her magic at work. I was not surprised by her instant success. She flawlessly ran the event and handled stress and change like a goddess. The wedding was magical, and I knew it was not only due to the beautiful couple getting married but also the demanding behind-the-scenes efforts orchestrated by Katie and her team. It was exquisite and unforgettable!
3. I knew in my heart that I could trust Katie. She created a connection with me and my husband and listened to what we wanted to make our day exceptional from start to finish. We were able to enjoy the whole process of planning the event, spending the most memorable moment of our relationship so far, and the special send-off into married life without worrying about cleaning up the party.
Our Journey:
We started our couple/coordinator relationship with Katie over a 2-hour phone conversation, explaining our ideas and answering as many of Katie’s initial questions as we could, including the guest count, venue options, wedding website, food, dessert, invitation layout, music, vows, hotel options, rehearsal dinner, wedding party, decorations, layout design, flowers, bar, dress, colors, etc. The list goes on and on.
After two venue tours, many text messages, phone calls, and several in-person meetings, we planned our wedding with Katie in only 4 months, with a 300+ guest list, 2 days of magical live music, and countless unforgettable moments with our family and friends, who all came together for this once-in-a-lifetime moment.
I can't express enough how special this day was to us. It comes down to the flawless, detailed planning process that Katie navigated us through. She handled the endless checklists, the constant changes, and numerous behind the scene issues like the 4-foot mirrored sign (which, by the way, she designed on her Cricut machine) that accidentally broke in front of our cocktail hour 30 minutes before guests started arriving, running out of tequila early (which was unheard of considering the amount we purchased), the delightful family of geese walking down the aisle and pooping all over the venue, the overly wet grass at the ceremony site that needed to be sup-pumped, to the guest who decided to take a decorative tree home as a souvenir. I am sure there are other debacles that Katie and her team handled flawlessly without our awareness so that our day was focused on the real reason why we were all together.
The planning process is vigorous. If anyone tells you otherwise, they are mistaken. Even without planning a huge wedding in 4 months, the tasks are cumbersome.

Katie is an intuitive, talented, and flexible wedding planner. She truly listens to my ideas and genuinely works to understand my style while offering suggestions I didn’t even know I needed! You’d be lucky to have Katie by your side when planing a wedding! -

Katie was absolutely wonderful to work with! She made the whole wedding process smooth from start to finish. From the first phone call when she asks you questions about details that haven’t even crossed your mind to ensuring the wedding day goes as smooth as possible. She completely set my mind at ease and exceeded my expectations in every way. Deciding to work with Katie was the best decision I made throughout the wedding planning process. I cannot recommend Katie with Keystone Events enough for ensuring that your special day is perfect! -

Katie was our month-of-coordinator at The Greystone Inn in August. She was absolutely the glue that held our whole day together. Some people say it takes a village- but really it takes a Katie Reinhart. I was impressed with her from our first phone call when she told me she had 2 young kids and was a middle school teacher while building her business. She built the perfect timeline and kept us on schedule. She worked meticulously behind the scenes from day 1 to make sure our day was exactly what we envisioned from ceremony and reception aesthetics to mixing speeches in with dinner to handling our tips and creating our rain plan. I honestly believe somehow she convinced the 70% chance of rain to back off too. She can make anything happen- including removing a seemingly permanent eye-sore from our ceremony backdrop. She helped me make decisions based on her experience, which I appreciated. She was calm and collected and never rushed which in turn kept me calm and collected. We would recommend her to anyone. I only wish I had upgraded my package and gotten her involved sooner. -
