About KT Does Events

KT Does Events

Hi, I'm Katie! Nice to meet you! KT Does Events is rooted in heritage and heart. Beyond logistics, we help you hold onto your purpose for celebrating so you can stay present in the feeling while we take care of the rest. We specialize in multicultural weddings by guiding you through the nuances of culture, family dynamics, and blending customs with care, respect, and intention. One of our goals is to help you create meaningful memories that honor your heritage while complementing your overall wedding vision. Bringing people together and creating meaningful experiences has always been our way of storytelling.

My background in cancer research and recruiting has shaped my understanding of people's need for connection and changed my perspective on why celebrations are essential to life's joy. I've seen how much marking life's milestones matters at pivotal moments, and that understanding shapes how I approach every couple's emotional experience, not just their logistics.

In three words: Confident, Empathetic, Supportive

    Best wedding planner!!

    Katie was the best wedding planner we could’ve hoped for! She was very responsive and answered all our questions. We were working within a budget and she was able to make our intimate wedding possible! Katie helped us from the very beginning with choosing our venue to being our day of coordinator. Our wedding went very smoothly and on time. In addition, she created all the floral arrangements for our wedding and tea ceremony! Everything was beautiful! She made our dreams come true and we are so happy to have worked with Katie!

    Katie was truly a godsend. We hired her a week before our small family ceremony wedding. We had a hybrid Chinese tea ceremony and western ceremony that had a lot of moving pieces and some other last-minute vendors that were added. She calmly and kindly guided us through the process, helping us catch the important details that we missed. She even hand-delivered our cake flowers from our florist and helped our out multiple (metaphorical) fires that I saw and likely many that I didn’t. Having Katie truly allowed me to enjoy my wedding day and I couldn’t recommend her more. Thank you so much Katie!! If you are on the fence, hop down and hire Katie.

    We don't know what we would've done without Katie! We hired Katie as our day of coordinator for our wedding in Oregon. Katie is based in Chicago so she helped us plan everything virtually. She knew exactly what we wanted the moment we told her our ideas and vision and brought it all to life for us. Katie kept consistent communication with us and our vendors and made sure everyone was updated and on the same page at all times. She was always one step ahead and that really helped us to relax and enjoy our day. I decided to DIY the florals for the wedding and quickly learned that it was not an easy task, but to my luck, Katie had a background working in florals. She gave me a lot of great tips and guidance (and was so positive and kind as I struggled through the process). All in all, we cannot recommend Katie enough.

    Katie was the most amazing support to Jimmy and I in our final few months of planning and the day of our wedding! After spending a year planning our wedding by ourselves, it was so reassuring to hand off all the details and final tasks to Katie the month before the wedding and know everything was in her super capable hands. Set up and transitions within our venue were so smooth, we had nothing to worry about on the day of! Our Cantonese speaking family members also greatly appreciated her bilingual skills. Thank you, Katie (& Alan) for making our special day so wonderful!
