    One fat dove

    One fat dove was by far the best money spent for our wedding! Katie sat down with us and created a detailed plan for the wedding day. She took care of everything and saved the day when we couldn’t find my dress bustle. A must have!

    Thank you One Fat Dove!!!!!

    I contacted Katie at the beginning of my wedding planning, this is by far the best decision I made during planning process. Katie took control and I never had to worry about a single thing. Katie went above and beyond my expectations and made my experience the dream that it has alway been. Katie, I thank you for all that you did for me during this most memorable time of my life.

    Best investment for our day!

    THE BEST.
    Katie was made for this. Best investment we made for our day, hands down. She has the calmest, most reassuring personality, and is the hardest worker! Our day was completely stress free because of her punctuality, attention to detail and poise. She has so much experience and was able to make plans “a”, “b”, and even “c” just in case. If you’re getting married in NTX do your self a HUGE favor and hire One Fat Dove!!!

    Priority investment!

    MAKE THIS A PRIORITY INVESTMENT! Katie & her team were an absolute blessing to work with! I cannot stress how helpful and important it is to make sure you have an experienced wedding coordinator. Long story short - Katie basically saved my wedding photos from being a complete disaster…yes, no exaggeration. I'm super type A personality and thought that I could do everything myself... NO! Do yourself a favor and invest in this service & make sure you go to One Fat Dove because they're seriously the best with communication, creativity, reliability and the kindest hearts you will ever meet! Talk about having a wedding coordinator that you feel like you've known all your life, because that's basically what working with Katie & Katie was like. Nick and I absolutely WILL use again for any major events! Thank you sooo much Katie! You're the best!!! XOXO Ashley

    You need OFD in your life!!!

    Everyone needs Katie to be part of their wedding. The woman is amazing. She made all my wedding dreams come true. I had no clue what I wanted out of my wedding or what to expect and she walked through each step with me. She has so much knowledge about the wedding industry. Her skills are unmatched. When my wedding day finally came, I was completely stress free knowing Katie was in charge. I had the most perfect day and I cannot thank Katie enough for everything and did to make my wedding day so dreamy!

    One Fat Dove's reply:

    Megan you sweet soul! Thank you so much for allowing me to help with your beautiful day. It was an absolute dream and so honored. Congratulations Mrs. Jeffcoat!!!

    Unmatched!!!

    Katie Waara & Katie Crawford made my day an absolute dream. The professionalism, organization, & effort put into my wedding day was unmatched. Between emailing all vendors a month prior to the day, to organizing the entire day from start to finish, I couldn’t have asked for more. They also both have the most amazing, bubbly personalities! The sweetest, most genuine women. Could not have had the day we did without them. So incredibly thankful!!!

    Incredible Wedding Planner

    There are not enough words to describe how thankful and grateful we are for Katie and her team. She is an absolute ROCKSTAR as a wedding planner and as a person. She made our wedding day so perfect and beautiful! From the beginning of the wedding planning process she always made us feel heard, gave great advice and was always just an email or call away when we had any last minute questions. She was thoughtful, organized and professional no matter what was thrown her way. On the day of our wedding, she did a phenomenal job making the venue look absolutely beautiful and for making it the most stress free day for my husband and I. I still can’t believe how perfect every detail was and how much love went in to planning that day. She went above and beyond our expectations, and it was best decision we ever made hiring her. We could not have done it without her kindness and support. Highly recommend if you want the best!!

    Nothing but great things to say

    Katie and her team are such a blessing- they made the stress of wedding planning so much easier. Katie helped make rehearsal and day of wedding a breeze- she got the job done. I love Katie’s energy and excitement! Nothing but good things to say about her and her team.

    the BEST wedding planner!

    Hiring One Fat Dove for our Month of Planning was the best decision we made! Our day would not have gone as smooth if it wasn't for Katie and Katie! Their professionalism and organization is over the top. It made for a stress-free day knowing they were so on top of every detail! They were at our venue before I even arrived and stayed well after to clean up! I would recommend Katie to every future bride!

    WOW Phenomenal is all I can say

    Wow where do I start. One Fat Dove was hands down the absolute best money that I spent for our wedding day. If I could recommend what you need and who you need it would be this company! They are the wedding coordinator that you want. Katie went above and beyond to make every little detail run smoothly. All of my family and all of the guests continuously mentioned how everything during the day was phenomenal and that nothing went "wrong" this was ALL because of One Fat Dove. They took care of all major and minor details that made our wedding happen.
    Our wedding was at "The Olana" in Hickory Creek Texas.
    I will forever be grateful for the work they put in for us! One Fat Dove is the reason our day was magical and phenomenal. You will be so happy with your decision to choose them for your lifelong memory!

    Katie is the best in the business!

    Katie was amazing as our Wedding Planner!!! She was also a great Officiant as well! Her energy and willingness to go above and beyond ensured that we had the perfect rehearsal dinner, wedding ceremony, and reception. She is very attentive, organized, and a delight to work with. Even with Covid shutdowns, she handled all the changes and managed the vendors like the Pro that she is. The wedding was absolutely beautiful and we can't thank you enough Katie! You Rock!

    Trust me, you need Katie!

    I cannot say enough good things about Katie and her team! Hiring Katie as our day-of coordinator was one of the best decisions we made. Since the day we signed the contract, (about 6-8 months prior to our wedding) she started planning with us the wedding schedule and important meeting dates. She is very knowledgeable and knew all the right questions to ask our vendors during detail meetings. On the day of the wedding, she went above and beyond to make our dream wedding a reality! She was extremely prepared and knew exactly how to handle any situation. There was a couple of hiccups throughout the day, but none of our guests ever found out because Katie and her team would swiftly and seemingly fix them! We are forever grateful to One Fat Dove for their dedication to our special day!

XOXO! ❤️

    Choose katie and her team!

    I was totally on the fence about choosing a wedding planner because I had worked for a wedding planner in the past and thought I could do it all myself. I decided that I probably didn’t want all that stress especially once my day got closer so I hired Katie and her team as a month of planner. Katie was helpful from the very beginning even though my wedding was MONTHS away! She had a rough draft timeline to me within a couple days for me to go over and make any changes to, which I think is pretty awesome, considering I chose only month of! Katie and her assistants completely made it worry and stress free the day of my wedding. I seriously cannot imagine if they wouldn’t have been there. They were rockstars! I seriously cannot say enough good things about them. I also cannot say enough HIRE A WEDDING PLANNER!! Don’t put that stress on yourself— but more importantly hire Katie and her team— I promise you WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!! Thank y’all for EVERYTHING and making our day literally perfect! Could not have done it without y’all!!

    So Thankful for One Fat Dove!

    Katie was absolutely amazing!! We were so impressed with her execution and how she handled everything at both our rehearsal and our wedding! We received compliments all night and after the wedding about her and her assistant. We could not be more grateful for everything they did. Katie made it possible for us to not stress and worry about anything that day knowing that she was on top of it! Everything went so smoothly and we were so happy with One Fat Dove!

    Couldn’t Have Done It Without Her

    Katie was was the BEST wedding coordinator! I knew I wasn’t going to be able to handle our wedding day by myself, so hiring Katie was the best decision I made through out the whole wedding planning process! Day of coordinator doesn’t even come close to what she did for us. From when I said yes, she answered every question I had, literally anything! Coordinating with vendors for our schedule to planning the seating chart. I planned this big wedding by myself and knowing I had someone to make it all happen the day of, made me feel like my hard work was not going to fall through. The day of she showed up before me and already was getting things in motion. I didn’t have a question through out the day that she couldn’t answer. I stayed in my suite the whole morning and when I came out, my vision came true. The whole day flowed so smoothly and I wasn’t stressed about anything! She was there for me the whole entire day. I honestly can’t say enough of how great she is! I am so thankful I was able to enjoy my day, and I couldn’t have done it without her.

    One Fat Dove's reply:

    SWEET LADY!!!! Thank you so much for your kind words. I had so much fun planning your wedding day and have a whole new appreciation for Bohemian Rhapsody.

    Month of wedding coordinator

    Katie and the One Fat Dove team are an absolute dream to work with. From the start Katie was very responsive, helpful in giving me ideas and her communication with my vendors was outstanding. She made my wedding day go so smooth and I couldn’t tell you if there were any issues because she handled it all so perfectly! I couldn’t recommend Katie enough and I am so thankful she made our wedding day so dreamy! Even in the middle of a pandemic she made our wedding the best day of our life’s! Without a doubt spend the money and hire Katie to be your wedding planner! She will not disappoint you!!

    Best decision ever!

    Katie was truly amazing to have our at wedding! We hired her as our month-of coordinator. She was very personable, professional, and organized and kept our rehearsal and wedding day stress-free! She responds very fast to emails and text messages and keeps you updated periodically leading up to the wedding day. She communicated very well with all our wedding vendors. My husband and I were able to enjoy and celebrate on our wedding day and not think about any behind-the-scenes logistics. For future brides... a planner/coordinator is one of the best investments you'll make and OFD was phenomenal for us! Ben & Frances

    Simply the best!

    Katie and One Fat Dove is worth their weight in gold! If you are on the fence about getting a coordinator, just do it, and pick her!

    She was reccomended by our cake baker when we were answering questions for the day of, including the day of contact. I wanted a coordinator but my now husband wasn't convinced it was necessary. Our baker basically said, well worst case scenario, I get a flat tire while delivering your cake, I'm going to need someone to call and I don’t want to be bothering you with that and the hubby started to see the light. I contacted One Fat Dove the next day.

    From the start she was friendly and answered any questions I had from the fiancè. She didn't pressure me in that first call, went over all of our questions, sent a contract for us to look over. I was immediately sold. It was like I was talking to an old friend.

    She was extremely helpful with our covid postponement as well. Once we got the date figured out, she took charge of getting all the updated contracts.

    I was incredibly overwhelmed (in a good way!) with the timeline she had sent me. There were so many things on there I would have never thought about and at some points the day was broken down into 10 minute increments. I really don't think we would have pulled off our wedding without her.

    She was always quick to reply to emails and helped calm me down when I had a covid wedding freak out moment. I felt much better after talking with her about her experiences so far.

    We did have a few phone calls to fill out any questions they had for me on the timeline and to tweak it a little here and there. It was all perfect and ready a few weeks ahead.

    Now the day of.... HOLY COW! I didn't have to do anything at all! The hubby was super impressed and after was like dang, yeah she was more than worth it!

    We brought our boxes into the venue and they took over. Everything was perfect. I had sent a few pictures of my centerpiece plan and they nailed it! They popped in a few times to ask some questions while we were getting ready, but other than that, if there were any hiccups or anything at all, I wouldn't have known. She made the day completely stress free!

    She was also an expert dress fluffer, making my train beautiful for our pictures. Our photographer also commented on the detail of the timeline and wished he could work with her all the time. She was also great with our dj too. They didn't let up all night and kept everything going more than perfect! By the end of the night everything was packed up and down to less boxes than we came in with. I was in awe all night of how awesome they were!

    Seriously, you will not regret hiring One Fat Dove! I could go on forever about our amazing experience and I am so thankful for Katie making our day perfect!

    Katie is seriously the BEST!!
    She truly cares about her brides, and is the BEST in the business, I cannot recommend her enough! She made replanning my COVID wedding a breeze and was always there to ease my mind when the stress crept in! She and her team are extremely detail oriented, easy to communicate with, and so personable!
