Under the Willow Events

Hi! I’m Katie, the founder and lead planner behind Under the Willow Events. I started this business in 2021 with one simple goal: to help couples feel calm, confident, and fully present on one of the most meaningful days of their lives. I specialize in partial planning and month-of coordination because no two weddings are the same. My role is to step in with guidance, organization, and a calm presence so you can actually enjoy your engagement and wedding day. On your wedding day, I’m the person quietly working behind the scenes managing the timeline, coordinating with your vendor team, and making sure every detail comes together smoothly.

“Working alongside Katie from Under the Willow Events truly highlights what separates a good wedding planner from a great one. The real test of a planner and coordinator is their ability to adapt in any situation, and Katie does so with calm confidence, grace, and genuine care. From a photographer’s perspective, I’m often pulled into roles that overlap with planning and coordination, helping organize timelines, direct logistics, and keep the day flowing smoothly. Katie not only excels in those moments, but she creates a warm, grounding presence that immediately puts couples at ease. She is deeply invested in her couples’ experience, always going above and beyond to support both them and the entire vendor team. Weddings are better, smoother, and more joyful with Katie at the helm, and I can’t recommend her highly enough.”

Moment in Time Events LLC creates elegant, personalized weddings. From full planning, partial planning, day-of coordination, floral rentals, decor rentals, and customized artificial florals. I make your dream day stress-free, memorable, and uniquely yours!

“Casey was an amazing month-of coordinator and such an important part of our wedding day. From the very first time we spoke, she was extremely helpful, detailed, and intentional. She asked a lot of questions to make sure she had a clear understanding of what we wanted for our wedding and was always available to answer my questions through text. About six weeks before the wedding, she scheduled another meeting with us to go over everything and make sure we were prepared for the big day. What really stood out to me was how Casey handled the unexpected. On the morning of my wedding, my makeup artist canceled at the last minute. I called Casey around 7:00 a.m., and she immediately stepped in, helped me think through options, and stayed calm while we figured out what to do. Having someone there who could help problem-solve during such a stressful moment made a huge difference. Throughout the day, she continued to take care of the little things. She made sure my husband and I had appetizers while we were busy with photos and kept things moving even though it was extremely hot outside. One moment I especially appreciate happened during our photos. There was a specific shot I had told our photographer beforehand that I really wanted. When it came time to take it, I was hot and tired and said, “No, I’m good.” Casey encouraged me to go ahead and take the photo because it would only take a few seconds. I am SO glad she did because it ended up being one of my absolute favorite photos from our entire wedding! Casey was attentive, organized, supportive, and genuinely invested in making sure we had the wedding day we envisioned. I’m grateful she was there to help us through both the planned moments and the unexpected ones. I would absolutely recommend her to any couple looking for someone who will pay attention to the details and truly be there for them on their wedding day.”

“We can’t thank Micah enough for guiding us through this wedding process! We booked her for the day of package, since I (bride) had a work history that overlapped with event decor. I can’t recommend booking her enough, even if you think you’ve “already got this”— she has a ton of insight and protected us from getting too stressed over anything. She went above and beyond her stated duties and we felt so fortunate. She held our hands when we needed it, but also gave us the flexibility and room to make our own creative decisions. That being said- her design instincts are broad for any theme, and absolutely gorgeous. Her team is fabulous too- very professional, detail oriented. Everything went off without a hitch, and we are so glad to be able to look back at that moment in our lives with a feeling of joy and connectedness, not stress and burnout.”

However, Morgan and company helped us manage all of it with grace and made the process as easy as possible on us. We felt incredibly grateful to have them be part of our day! They made the process much less stressful and the day of we could relax and know things were being taken care of. Exactly what we needed!!

“Where do I even begin? Liz is truly a one of a kind human being. I don’t think I could ever fully put into words how exceptional she is. Her warm, genuine personality, constant professionalism, and humble, grounded presence made every part of the planning process feel supported, organized, and despite my natural overthinking stress. We didn’t originally plan on hiring a wedding planner. But about nine months out, I quickly realized I needed help. Choosing Liz ended up being one of the best decisions we made. She guided us through every detail with ease and confidence. Not only did she help manage our entire wedding, but she also planned our honeymoon, which turned out to be beyond anything we ever could have imagined. One of our top activities in Aruba opened for reservations the day after our wedding, and Liz booked it immediately that morning to get us in. She booked all activities and restaurants for us. Anytime I had a question, which was often, she responded within minutes or simply called me. She made everything fun, approachable, and stress-free. She kept detailed tabs on every task and ensured nothing slipped through the cracks. Even when I had the majority of vendors and plans in place, she refined everything with such precision. She understood my personality and how overwhelmed I can get, even when things are technically “done,” and she guided me through everything with patience and grace. The week of the wedding, she checked in frequently. On the day of, she was phenomenal. Every detail was set up exactly how we envisioned it. Labeling bins and décor helped her and her assistant move seamlessly, and I’m so grateful because she executed our entire moody/vintage aesthetic vision flawlessly. Two days before the wedding, when I couldn’t find greenery anywhere, Liz made one or two calls and found it instantly. I’ll never forget when I urgently needed our honeymoon flight information for our rental car info and she literally pulled over on the highway to send it to me. That is who she is, someone who goes above and beyond in ways most people wouldn’t even consider. Her pricing is more than fair, and her service is worth every single penny. Whether you need full-service planning or just check-ins, she adapts to exactly what you need. I had most things planned, but still had countless details and small several questions lol. No matter how minor or silly they felt, she always responded with kindness and expertise. Our FaceTime meetings became a highlight of the planning process. Occasionally, her pups or her daughter would pop into the frame, making everything feel personal-not like a business transaction, but like talking to a friend who genuinely cared about us and our day. Liz is an amazing planner, but she is an even better human. Humble, compassionate, creative, organized, and incredibly knowledgeable, especially with florals. I made my own centerpieces, and with her guidance, they turned out exactly how I imagined. Russell and I are endlessly grateful she was part of our wedding. I could cry thinking about how much she did for us. Liz, thank you for making our day perfect. Thank you for your dedication, your heart, your time, and your incredible talent. We truly could not have done any of this without you. No wedding turns out perfect, but everything Liz was involved with/in charge of - was. We are forever thankful for her.”

“We booked Teyanna in 2022 for our August 2024 wedding and did not regret it one bit. It was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Teyanna was beyond accommodating and informative throughout the entire process. Her precise, creative, and professional "client-first" mentality shone through. From countless Zoom calls to meeting up in person to select flowers, it was more than we could have asked for and were expecting. Her professionalism and creativity showed through when we had to improvise our outdoor ceremony to an indoor one thanks to a horrific tropical storm. She called us on the morning of our wedding to ensure we were doing okay and went over every detail with both my husband and me to make sure she and her team didn't miss anything.

“We hired Jacinda for month/day of coordination and it was honestly the BEST decision we made while wedding planning! We got to work with Jacinda and LeAnna and they were absolutely amazing! They were so organized and easy to work with, we had full faith in them to help us execute the perfect day. Added plus, they are so fun to hang out with! LeAnna was on top of everything the day of, if something went wrong we have no idea. I was a DIY bride and LeAnna made my vision come to life! We also decided to sneak into the bridal suite for a private dinner (absolutely recommend doing that!) and LeAnna made sure the room was set so nicely for us, with little tea lights and everything. If you are looking for wedding planners, look no further! We love Jacinda and LeAnna!!!!”

“Hiring Brenna from Blissnics for full-service wedding planning was, without a doubt, the best decision we made throughout our entire wedding journey. Planning from out of state was intimidating, but Brenna made the process effortless and enjoyable from day one. One of the absolute biggest reliefs was not having to communicate with vendors at all. Brenna managed everything—gathering quotes, comparing packages, answering questions, negotiating details, and handling contracts. I truly didn’t realize how tedious and time-consuming those tasks were until I saw how seamlessly she took them off our plate. It saved us so much time, stress, and second-guessing. We felt completely taken care of. Brenna went above and beyond in every way. She toured venues on our behalf (and ultimately found us our dream wedding location!), built our budget, and helped us figure out where to allocate funds based on what mattered most to us. Without her, we would’ve had no idea how much things really cost—or how to plan for all the extras like taxes and tips. What stood out the most was how well she got to know us—not just as clients, but as a couple. She understood our style, our personalities, and our priorities. Every meeting was organized, thoughtful, and productive. She helped bring my design vision to life, walking me through rental options and curating every detail to reflect what I had imagined (honestly, it felt like she stepped inside my Pinterest board and made it real!). On our wedding day, Brenna and her team were the calm, capable presence. Everything was perfectly timed and beautifully set up. She created a detailed, minute-by-minute itinerary and coordinated it with all our vendors. I went to bed the night before the wedding completely at peace, and woke up feeling calm and excited—because I knew Brenna had it all under control. I truly just had to show up, and she and her team had created the most magical, fairytale day. Brenna is not only incredibly professional and talented—she’s kind, thoughtful, and deeply invested in her couples. I can’t recommend her enough. If you're even thinking about hiring a wedding planner, let this be your sign: trust Brenna. You’ll be so, so glad you did!”
