    The best!

    Kate is amazing! I was hesitant about hiring a coordinator at first, because I thought I could do everything myself, but Kate from A Touch of Whimsi Weddings & Events completely changed my mind. She stayed in constant contact with us throughout the planning process and thought of every detail we would have missed on our own. On our wedding day, Kate made sure everything ran smoothly and stress free from start to finish. Her hard work and genuine care for our day showed in every moment, and she kept us looking picture perfect all evening long. I honestly don't think we could have pulled off this day without her. I would recommend Kate and her team 10 out of 10 to any couple planning their wedding. She was right by my side when I needed her

    so thankful

    Working with A Touch of Whimsi Weddings & Events made planning our wedding feel effortless. They kept us in the loop with quick check-ins and clear communication throughout the entire process, which helped us feel confident every step of the way. What impressed us most was how they took the stress and big decisions off our plate—they handled vendor selection and logistics so we could just enjoy the planning. The team connected us with incredible food and bar vendors that our guests couldn't stop talking about. On the day of our wedding, everything came together exactly as we'd envisioned it. We can't recommend them highly enough.

    100% Recommend

    We truly could not have asked for a better wedding coordinator! From the very beginning, Kate was incredibly helpful, responsive, and patient with every question I had. She guided me through the entire planning process with such ease and reassurance, which made everything feel so much less overwhelming. On the wedding day, everything ran seamlessly. Kate & her assistant Katherine handled every detail behind the scenes, allowing us to fully relax and enjoy each moment. Everything looked absolutely perfect and was exactly what I had envisioned...if not better! Her organization, calm presence, and attention to detail made all the difference, and I’m so grateful for everything she did to make our day so special. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to any bride—she is truly amazing!

We wish you guys so much happiness and again we are just so thankful and honored we got to share such a special moment with you and your family.

    Kate was absolutely amazing from day 1. I only hired her for the day of but she checked in with me the entire year prior, helped with my vendor issues, answered all of my questions, and brought some of her own decor. I would have hired her for full planning if I wasn’t already knee deep in DIY at the time of booking. Kate put me in touch with Margaret who made my bouquet and several other floral pieces which turned out absolutely beautiful! If I could give Kate more than 5 stars I would!

    Bride/groom

    Kate was absolutely amazing to work with! She was communicative, made excellent recommendations, and was a huge part in making our wedding day enjoyable for us and our guests. I especially appreciated her ability to anticipate the needs of vendors, venue, caterers, DJ, etc so we sent into every meeting and phone feeling prepared! She also worked her tail off to make sure a timing error did not impact our wedding day. Thank you so very much Kate! I highly recommend A Touch of Whimsi! BT
