My name is Katie Cole, and I am the Founder/Head Planner at Palmetto River Planning. I have been planning weddings and events since 2021, but just decided to establish my own company late last year. I am trustworthy, honest, dedicated, and am known for paying close attention to detail. With a passion for this industry, it is my personal goal to make every couple a member of the Palmetto River family and ensure that all our couple's have a worry-free and magical day.

I am dedicated, trust-worthy, pay a great attention to detail, fun, and organized! I am big on great communication and love helping my clients. I truly take the time to get to know all my clients and become part of their family!

    Words can’t even begin to express how awesome and amazing Katie and her team, was for our special day!!! From first communication to final and ending our special day, Katie paid attention to detail and wanting to get to know the bridal party to make sure she wasn’t just there for me and my bride but the entire party. If I could go back in time I would still go with Katie and her team for making our day sooooo special and easy on us!!!

    Katie was our coordinator for our wedding on 5/17/25. I can’t thank her enough for all the hard work she put in to make our day perfect. She pays attention to detail and really is passionate about what she does. Before the wedding, we scheduled a meeting with our DJ to go over song selection and Katie had already sent him all the songs we picked along with a timeline. His exact words “man yall have a great coordinator”. Something that’s super important to me is communication. Any questions that I had, she answered right away and checked on us every week before the wedding. The day of the wedding, Katie helped set up the rest of our decorations which I didn’t even expect her to do! She noticed our cake stand was wobbly and fixed it. She even stacked our cake and put cute decorations around it. We also did sparklers for the exit and she noticed the sparklers we got needed more than just a lighter. She brought a blow torch so they would light! I’m telling you- attention to detail is her strong suit! Thank you for being apart of our special day and all the hard work you did from set up to clean up! You are amazing!!

    Palmetto River Planning was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very first call, Katie and her team were helpful, honest, and incredibly knowledgeable about the entire wedding planning process. They were truly hardworking partners who helped resolve any conflicts that arose, ensuring the day went off without a hitch. Katie was my best friend for the day, perfectly timing the groom's arrival so he wouldn't see me before the ceremony, and making sure all the vendors were there on time and did their jobs. The quality of their work and value they provided was outstanding. I cannot recommend Palmetto River Planning enough to any couple planning their special day.

    We hired Katie and her team for day of coordinating for our wedding. I cannot begin to put into words how valuable she was to our day. She truly went above and beyond my expectations from the time we started working together till the end of the wedding. She was so organized and made our day so entirely stress free, kept all of our vendors where they needed to be, had a shot list for our photographer and made sure everything we wanted to happen happened! Katie was so good, I wish she could coordinate my wedding everyday! There was not a thing that was forgotten or misplaced even if it was something I just mentioned in passing, we are truly blown away and will be recommending her to all of our friends as they begin to get married!
