    Amazing!

    Hiring Planned by KD was the second best decision we made (after choosing each other). I had no idea just how much Katie and Maddie were going to take care of for us. Katie did all the things I was hoping for- she made a detailed timeline, placed our decor perfectly, and connected with all our vendors. But she's also a wizard with last minute dress emergencies, she designed florals for our sad bare arch, and I'm pretty sure she even reorganized our hotel room so we had a nice space to come back to at the end of the night. Every possible detail I might have had to manage on the day was expertly taken care of instead. There was nothing left to do but get married!

    Katie seriously ROCKS!

    As a photographer, I love working with Katie and her wonderful team. I always know that the event will come out beautifully and will exceed the client's expectations. Katie and her team are endlessly creative and have an impeccable eye for design and detail. It is such a joy to work with true professionals who are devoted to not only execute a beautiful event, but to always keep in mind her clients' most important desires. She really has a gift of making dreams come true...the dreams that become a lifetime of beautiful memories. I recommend her to all my clients!

    Best go to planner!

    Planned by KD was an absolute pleasure to work with as a wedding planner. Their communication style was punctual and very detailed, which helped keep the entire wedding planning process on track. The quality of their work was wonderful - they were thorough and detail-oriented, ensuring that every aspect of the wedding day ran smoothly. She made sure to keep everyone on track so that other vendors could focus only on doing what they needed to. Additionally, she was very fun to work with and could take a joke, but also wrangle everyone in line easily. I would highly recommend Planned by KD to any couple looking for a reliable and dedicated wedding planner!

Yes. I can help plan a variety of wedding-related events beyond the ceremony and reception, including engagement parties, bridal or baby showers, and rehearsal dinners. My goal is to make each event feel seamless, thoughtfully coordinated, and reflective of your personal style, so you can enjoy the celebration without stress.
I focus on one wedding per day to ensure every detail is managed flawlessly and each couple receives my full attention. This allows me to provide the best possible support and make your day truly stress-free.
Because planning requires reserving time and resources, retainers are non-refundable. If you need to reschedule, we do our best to accommodate new dates based on availability. I am happy to discuss details when booking
Yes, for destination weddings there is a mileage charge plus any necessary overnight accommodations. I always provide a clear estimate upfront so there are no surprises and your planning process stays smooth.
Absolutely. I coordinate with all your chosen vendors to ensure everyone is on the same page and your wedding day runs smoothly. My goal is to support your existing team while filling in any gaps so nothing is overlooked.
I stay calm, organized, and proactive. From unexpected weather changes to timing adjustments, I troubleshoot behind the scenes so you can enjoy your day without stress. No detail is too small—I handle it all so you don’t have to.
