Services include wedding day coordination, wedding weekend coordination, bachelorette party coordination, and bridal shower coordination. Beautiful events. Thoughtful logistics. Consider it handled.
I am type A so whether you are type A and need to hand over the reins for execution or type B and need someone to keep the planning on its tracks, I am the 'older sister' everyone needs! As a professional executive assistant and a lifetime older sister, I bring both my professional and caring sides to every event.

Hire her immediately!
Katie is a lifesaver. As someone who has a Type A personality, I never thought I needed a wedding planner until I met Katie. She stays cool under pressure and executes flawlessly. On my wedding day, my wedding dress had a complicated zipper and bustle that left my mom and sister completely stumped (despite them both attending my dress fittings and try-ons and plenty of practice). Right as stress levels spiked, Katie stepped in, handled it effortlessly, and essentially saved the day as we were slowly becoming behind schedule. Fortunately, she kept us on time and we arrived to the church ceremony without issues! She goes above and beyond ways you won’t even realize, especially on the wedding day. When our venue’s maitre d’ was too busy to distribute vendor payments and tips during the reception, Katie took over and ensured everyone single vendor was paid on time and properly. Having her there meant I could completely relax and enjoy my night as a bride. She is worth her weight in gold and worth every penny!!!

I had the pleasure of planning my bachelorette weekend with Katie. Katie and I discussed the general breakdown of what I was hoping the weekend would be like. She then prepared an itinerary, a budget that fell within my range, and some ideas for welcome bags and other goodies. Because of her strategic, thoughtful, and fun planning, we were able to share the price of the weekend, all in, with the women attending. This especially made the weekend so fun and care-free, since we did not need to worry about keeping track of who spent what and how to split tabs. Katie handled all logistics leading up to the weekend, and we were able to have a truly fun time because of her attention to detail and care. I’d highly recommend working with Katie to plan your bachelorette, whether it’s a weekend or a day!

Katie planned my bachelorette weekend and it was one of the best parts of my entire wedding process! A house for 15+ people, private chef dinner, and full day winery tour with party bus went off without a hitch. She brings a high level of professionalism and is extremely thorough and communicative. She’ll think of things you need before you do! Logistics aside, she brings a fun and positive energy wherever she goes and will always have your best interests in mind. I’ve known Katie for a very long time and any plan is handled when she’s involved. Believe me, she is the one you want working on your event no matter how big or small!!
