    The best wedding planner you could ever find!

    Working with Katie and her entire team was an absolute pleasure. Katie and Tone Events are as good as it gets. They're true professionals, but so easy to work with. They provide an amazing vision while also being detail oriented. You could not find a better person and team to plan and execute your wedding. What she created far surpassed anything we could even dream up. You're in the best hands possible when you work with Katie and Tone Events. We couldn't recommend Katie enough - it'll be the best decision you ever make when it comes to your wedding.

    Tone Events is the BEST of the Best!

    Where do I even begin?! My husband and I had our dream wedding at Belle Mer in Newport, RI in May of 2023, and I truly do not think we would have had a wedding at all if it weren't for Katie and her amazing team (shout out to Lexie!!). From the very beginning, Katie and Lexie were absolute ANGELS - So professional, kind, and organized. Being the only girl in my family, we were absolutely clueless on how to plan a wedding, so Katie stepped up and guided us every step of the way. She was a dream to work with, making herself available whenever I had questions, and also pushing me when I needed to be pushed (LOL - I'm not the best at decisions). Apart from Bridezillas, I think I was the next worst client to work with, since I was so indecisive and deferential that I put a LOT more work on Katie's shoulders, which she handled with complete grace and professionalism. Not one single stone was left unturned, every minute detail was thought out and executed, so our wedding day was absolutely perfect from start to finish. Our vendors knew exactly what to do and were coordinated PERFECTLY. To the point where so many of our guests said they had never been to such a coordinated wedding - So easy, so devoid of stress (for us, very unlikely for Katie and Lexie, but they didn't show it an ounce). I could tell a million stories about Tone Events as a whole, from the adorable gift Katie sent when we first booked her team demonstrating her unnecessary, but so appreciated, thoughtfulness she demonstrated throughout the entirety of the wedding planning process, to Lexie DRIVING to my Air-BnB to get my undergarments for my outfit change simply because I mentioned that I forgot it and told them not to worry about it. Again, just constantly demonstrating they go above and beyond in every aspect of the process. I think of all of the things Katie and her team did for me and my husband, and I know that I only know HALF of what they actually did - I am just so grateful and blessed. Apart from being the best wedding planners I could have asked for, they are just incredible people. Any time anyone asks me what I’d recommend for them in the wedding planning process, my first recommendation is a wedding planner, specifically, a Katie. We are forever indebted to Tone Events for giving us the best day of our lives.

    Tone Events is the perfect wedding planner!

    Katie, owner of Tone Events, was flawless. Her design creativity, communication skills, people skills and knowledge of the industry were beyond beyond. She listened to our wishes and created the perfect wedding for our daughter and her new husband. She was also very sensitive to our budget and charges a very fair amount for the NYC wedding industry. As the Mother of the Bride, I highly recommend her to plan your perfect day! Katie is a “diamond in the rough”.

    Great experience!

    Katie was a pure delight to work with! Wedding planning can be so stressful, especially if you have big visions and ideas that you are trying to fulfill. Katie made herself available to talk and help at any time. Her expertise was also appreciated when it came to difficult decisions. On the day of the wedding she got to the venue early to ensure a smooth unloading process from venders, inspect that everything was to my liking, and ensure that all of the days events ran on schedule and smoothly. Her team is also phenomenal! Lexie was my bridal assistant and she made me feel so special! She helped me with outfit changes and even went above her duties to direct and edit a funny video I was trying to make with the bridal party. If you want your wedding to be as magical and perfect as you dreamed I highly recommend Tone Events. Even my photographer said that after 15+ years of being in the wedding industry she was so impressed with Katie. It’s hard to find the right wedding planner, but look no further than Tone Events! Happy planning.

    Absolutely the BEST!

    I have nothing bad to say about Katie! From beginning to end, this lady was flawless! Katie went above and beyond to make sure that all of my questions and concerns were answered. Every suggestion and comment she had was right on point and made our wedding better than we could have ever imagined. She has a great eye for design and brought my very specific aesthetic to life. She thought of everything and paid attention to every detail so we were able to enjoy every single second of our day, which is so important and I appreciate more and more in hindsight. On the day of our wedding Katie and her team made sure everything stayed on track and went smoothly! Couldn't have asked for a better planner!

    Perfect Wedding thanks to Katie!

    Myself, my family and my in-laws cannot say enough great things about working with Katie Malfettone. The entire process was smooth, stress-free, and most importantly, the wedding was executed flawlessly. From the initial stages of planning, Katie got a grasp of my style and taste and ran with it. To plan and run a 430+ person wedding with a smile on your face and calm demeanor must be stressful, but you couldn't tell with Katie. Each and every detail was noticed by all, and we still have guests reaching out to us weeks later about how perfect of an evening it was! I owe so much of that to Katie. So many people advised me not to stress along the way, but I can honestly say I never felt stressed throughout the process knowing I was in great hands! I would (and will) recommend Katie to anyone for both corporate events and weddings!

    Organized & Professional

    The first and best decision we made during our wedding planning was to work with Katie Malfettone. Katie is organized, detail-oriented, professional, knowledgeable. Throughout the process, she kept us and our vendors on track. She double and triple-checked every detail. And on the day of our wedding, she executed a flawless event. I would not have changed a single detail about our wedding - not one. We couldn't have done it without Katie. Thank you for creating a magical day for us!

    Wedding and Brunch

    Katie Malfettone was the planner for the wedding we hosted in September 2019 in Austin, TX. She was the best in providing advice, options, ideas and then execution and follow through on the big day. The wedding and all events went so smoothly . She is a professional and has planned so many weddings that she is well aware of all the needs and details and the timing required to organize, finalize and bring it all together. There were no glitches. Katie also helped plan the wedding brunch party the next day at our home. Again she had great ideas and suggestions in the planning stages and then coordinated all the work with the rentals and caterers so that we could enjoy the party and spend time with our guests. I've already hired her twice and I will do it again. She is the best.

    The most professional and Talented Event Planner!

    Everything about my wedding day and the experience leading up to it was perfect thanks to many people involved but especially Katie! My husband and I live in Dallas but chose to get married in Austin because my parents live there – given the distance/timing restrictions etc. Katie was so accommodating and helpful that l felt like it didn’t make a difference that we were technically planning an out-of-town wedding. From the beginning she was so professional, enthusiastic and thoughtful. My mom and I truly enjoyed working with her and we appreciated her timely and helpful responses to our questions and opinions. I think Katie does a really good job of trying to understand your likes/dislikes/tendencies and because of this she was usually 10 steps ahead of me on everything which was ideal when it comes to a wedding planner. Katie was wonderful at balancing between giving it to us straight (which is always nice) and nudging us in the right direction when needed. In the end I have no regrets about our wedding day and only happy memories and amazing pictures that capture everyone’s hard work & talent, including Katie. Having a worry-free planning experience and wedding day is invaluable and the fact that Katie has such amazing taste and ideas really added to the quality of our wedding.

    The best planner ever... hire her now!!!!

    Wow. Ok. Katie Malfettone IS THE LITERAL BEST PLANNER AND MAYBE PERSON IN THE WORLD. No but really. If you want to have an awesome wedding and not have to think about anything the week of your wedding then Katie is your girl. Our experience with Katie was the most comforting and peaceful element of the wedding process. Since we were getting married at Brazos Hall we had to bring everything in and at the beginning it seemed so overwhelming. But not once we got Katie on our side! Katie was always on top of everything and made sure that even when I was dragging my feet on making a decision (it happened with literally everything because i could NOT be more indecisive) that we did not miss out on a vendor or a deadline. We went in only wanting a final details package, but Katie was so amazing that we just kept adding more services. In the end- i think my mom and I only regret we hadn't had her do more! I was a bride who wanted a wedding that was NOT traditional and Katie embraced my quirkiness and desire to have a wedding that was out of the box early on. She helped guide me to small touches that ultimately on the night of the wedding were picked up on by guests as some of their favorite elements. Katie never let me feel like an idea i had was stupid, but always steered me back if I got a little too kooky (i mean, at one point i wanted a ball pit at the reception and she didn't even bat an eye!). We really only had two "problems" in the planning process with different vendors and Katie was always right there to help. The 2 weeks leading up to the wedding i had countless people come up to me and ask why and how i could be so calm. I told them I had the best wedding planner ever and she was worth every penny. At one point two days before I turned to my mom and said "but what if the cake doesn't come?!" and she reminded me to stop it that Katie had it all under control. And she did! I mean, at one point during the reception I was dancing so hard that the snap on my skirt broke. And there was Katie, pinning me up in the back and sending me out ready to keep on dancing. Nothing phases her and she controls the room like a pro. Not only is she a fantastic planner but she's fun, hilarious, kind and a joy to be around. She made wedding planning a blast and TBH i miss it. TLDR: Katie met all our expectations and more and I would recommend her to anyone and everyone!

    Simply the best!

    I would give all of the stars in the world to Katie Malfettone. Because of Katie, our July, Downtown Austin wedding was absolutely perfect! Katie is the most detail oriented person, but is extremely laid back, friendly, and fun! She quickly built a genuine relationship with my mom and me and made sure we enjoyed the planning process. We are both extremely "Type A" and opinionated, but Katie earned our trust from the very beginning. She was SO much more than a "Day-Of Coordinator". We met with her several times in advance, emailed multiple times a week, and could text or call her anytime. She was always available to answer any questions, even when she was out of the office or on vacation! She also has the BEST ideas of little details that can impact your event in a VERY positive way. A few weeks before the wedding, Katie walked us through her perfect master plan/minute-by-minute to ensure everything was ready to go and that everyone (family, bridal party, vendors) was on the same page. When the big day arrived, we knew EVERYTHING was under control and would be handled by Katie and her fabulous team. Because of Katie's knowledge, skills, relationships with vendors, and attention to detail, my mom and I could relax and enjoy the wedding day. Not once did my mom have to check in at the church or reception venue. She was able to spend the entire day with me, my bridal party, and our family, which was absolutely invaluable. Our large (320+ guests) and pretty involved wedding went off without a hitch! All of the vendors she helped us select exceeded our expectations in every way. She ensured our entire timeline, florals, decor, seating, and flow were executed perfectly! And most importantly, because of Katie, our wedding was the most memorable, perfect, and FUN night of our lives - and one that our friends and family are still talking about today. We were truly impressed by Katie's professionalism, attention to detail, operational skills, unique insight and ideas, and awesome personality! Thank you, Katie, for making our special day a huge success! We could not have done it without you!!!
