3 Weddings- 1 Family - 15 Years of Service
“I hired Katie Waite Events to help with three of our four children's weddings that took place during the past 15 years.
Our first daughter was married without Katie's service and I learned how much I needed a wedding planner and coordinator from that experience. We had a garden reception and I did not consider a plan B if it rained.
For the next three children we hired Katie and it made a world of difference.
Katie has an amazing way of helping transform hopes and dreams into a reality.
Each wedding came with specific challenges. She guided us through options and possibilities. She met with each couple and from the start was able to listen and communicate. She has vision in how to tie everything together and the latest decor and product to make it happen.
Each wedding was very different.
The first was an open house in our home.
The second was out of town at a venue that we had all the DIY responsibility from decorating to food.
After meeting with my daughter and her fiancé, finding out what their desires and their plans were, Katie provided us with a design plan and decorations that could be transported. She did a video conference to see the venue and thus a detailed layout of the what went where came with us. It was a wedding in a box! She tutored me and gave me tips on everything. We did not hire her to travel for day of service. She walked me through simply everything - from paying and tipping my vendors to gathering help from family and friends giving them specific assignments. The day was beautiful and went off without a glitch.
The last was a destination wedding.
I really appreciated her interfacing with vendors and individuals I hired. She was able to work out contract details and she knew the questions to ask and what was important.
Our destination wedding was very complex. The location was quite remote and Katie was willing and able to navigate and work through all the details from beginning to end. She coordinated this event and we were so thrilled with the results.
Katie pays attention to detail. Her calm, professional demeanor is crucial at weddings especially working with brides that are stressed and wanting everything to come together. I highly recommend Katie. She does not disappoint.”

“A wedding is something you hope to only plan once in your life, but that also means you have no experience to rely on. I was totally overwhelmed planning my wedding — how was I supposed to find the right venue at the right price for my budget? What does it mean for my wedding when the venue only has preferred vendors? How do I choose the best florist or photographer? Having a wedding planner takes a lot of the stress out of those choices. But how do you pick the right wedding planner? Simple. Call Katie Waite! Katie is so professional while also being so human. She narrowed the field for me based on my budget and specific preferences. My wedding was more beautiful than I could have imagined because Katie helped me to find the vendors, caterers, makeup artists, etc. etc. that could give me exactly what I was looking for while also guiding some decisions that I would have had no clue about — like place settings. Her timeline kept me on track, her demeanor kept me sane. Katie Waite was exactly what I needed for myself and for my wedding.”

“Katie made everything possible for my dream day. There would’ve been no wedding if it wasn’t for Katie. I was also very impressed with her attention to detail—there was no detail that she wasn’t aware of! I was so impressed with her tireless efforts to make sure everything was how I wanted it.
Thank you, Katie!”
