Big Day Celebrations

is all smiles and energy and she is just so awesome to have on your team. Everyone in my family told me a wedding coordinator was a waste of time but I'm soooooo happy I went with my gut and started interviewing coordinators. I fell in love with Katie instantly and we laughed and giggled and planned out the timeline and days leading to the wedding. I had alot of specifications for my wedding day and I needed someone to be the boss and get it done. She was perfect, my wedding was perfect and I could not of asked for a better team mate through all this. Highly recommend!

ecute it on the big day. After meeting Katie, all my worries went away and I knew she was the perfect person to make sure all my hard work fell into place perfectly. We trusted her instantly and she completely understood the vision. Katie is so attentive, responsive and knows the industry. She was SO MUCH MORE than a day of planner. She answered every question along the way and created the most well thought through schedule for our day and all our vendors. On our actual wedding I had not ONE THING to worry about. The wedding night was flawless....Not one glitch and I truly owe it to Katie and BDC! Thank for sharing your talent with us!

ey even spoke to vendors after Big Day came on board, they handled everything Captured all our requested and created a timeline of events that helped us organize and schedule the day. Throughout and quick to respond to emails, questions and inquiries. Incredible attention to details. Organized, and punctual and will listen to your requests and capture them. Great energy. Her and her husband made our vision come to life!

see the full picture of my wedding. And when it came to the big day, I truly felt comfortable knowing that my wedding was in her hands. We had such an amazing time and I would highly recommend booking with her!!!

me vendors she would immediately send over a list to choose from. She would always communicate with us and keep us on track for the wedding. She has a passion for what she does and it definitely shines through. She will do whatever it takes to make you have the wedding of your dreams! Her bubbly personality, positivity, and kindness all maker her a pleasure to work with! Love you Katie!

phone feeling a sense of relief and full of excitement. Although we purchased the “day-of coordinator” package, Katie was available to answer all my questions or give me feedback via e-mail or phone during our whole wedding planning process. She helped me with my day-of timeline, she gave me suggestions for vendors, and she gave me some ideas when I wasn’t sure about some element of the planning process. It was like having a super-knowledgeable and supportive friend there whenever I needed. She was SUPER responsive, sometimes getting back to my e-mails within minutes. It was amazing! Katie also jumps in 6 weeks leading up to the wedding to handle all vendor communication, timelines, payment, etc. During this time, I was going on my bachelorette party, having my bridal shower, and handling all the final details leading up to the wedding like guest lists, table assignments, and dress fittings. It was so great to have Katie there to assist with the vendor management and make sure nothing was missed. In our meeting before the wedding, Katie took the time to be at our venue walk-through, listen to my concerns, come up with solutions, and reassure me. I truly felt heard and at no time, even after asking another question “just to be sure”, did I feel like I was being annoying or overly specific. She was an absolute JOY! On the wedding day, the reception was set up just as I had pictured. Every last detail was handled as though it was magic. I had a special video that I wanted played as tribute to my dad during the brother/sister dance and Katie worked with the vendor to make sure it was set up and played just right. She is organized, detail-oriented, and above all a positive and fun person to have by your side on your wedding day! Oh, and at the end of the evening, everything was packed away neatly in our boxes even better we had brought them. Look no further, Katie and her husband with Big Day Celebrations are your people!

planning phase, she would respond immediately with perfect solutions to any and all questions! During the wedding she made everything happen seamlessly from vendor organization, to decoration placement, to making my husband and I feel completely relaxed throughout the wedding day! Katie and her husband are like long lost best friends! They are the sweetest couple of all time! I highly recommend planning your wedding with big day celebrations!

very well prepared for anything you may need on wedding day from bobby pins to fix your hair to making sure you have the drink you want at all times! We can’t say enough good things about them and are blessed to have had them as our coordinator on one of the most important days of our lives! We can’t thank them enough for all they did for us!!

he does it all. The best part about hiring Big Day Celebrations was being stress free on my wedding day! If anything went wrong I had no clue, and still have no clue! I would definitely recommend Big Day Celebrations to any future bride, Katie is definitely worth it.

ne on my dress. Katie came to my rescue with her stain fighting tool kit and saved my dress. She responds text/emails VERY quickly, doesn’t hesitate to provide advice or suggestions and she was a blast to work with. I completely trusted her decision making skills . I would choose Big Day Celebration every single time. #KatieYouRock

d on our behalf leaving us to enjoy our perfect wedding day. Do not hesitate to hire Big Day Celebrations!! They are rock stars!!!!!!

tions, our day was absolutely perfect and stress free. I promise, you will not regret partnering with this incredible coordinator!

e when it came to communicating to my other vendors. (My mother-in-law LOVED her, just wanted to call and chat! Haha) She had everything in order and very organized. Big Day Celebrations was a huge blessing in helping our wedding day go smoothly! Thank you again Katie for everything! We definitely recommend Big Day Celebrations and Katie to help you with your wedding or event!

right there cheering with us!! Her guidance was spot on. When we needed to expand she showed us how and where, yet refined other areas to make our daughters day truly spectacular!! The day of the wedding, Katie was everywhere yet invisible!! She seemed like an angel! The day after the wedding, my husband told me Katie and Big Day Celebration was the best investment we made in making sure we had a perfect wedding for our daughter! It was perfect—because Katie took care of all the little details—and gave me the gift of being able to enjoy the most special of days between a mother/daughter! I believe with my whole heart...Katie was Heaven sent!!

irst met that her goal was to make our big day as stress-free as possible. Not only did she succeed at this, she exceeded our wildest expectations of how great our wedding could be. During the planning stages before the big day, she was incredibly fast in email responses, never letting us wait very long. Her accessibility throughout was incredible. You can truly tell she’s a pro, as many questions as we asked, she never once didn’t have an answer for us. When it came to the big day, Katie had a detailed itinerary for everyone. She had contacted each and every one of our vendors and orchestrated the appropriate times for them to arrive. I had no doubt that she had done everything possible to make everyone’s day, including vendors as stress-free and efficient as possible. About an hour prior to the scheduled ceremony start time, we had some bad weather approaching. Katie was able to bump everything up 15 minutes so we were able to get the ceremony in just in time before the rain came, ensuring we could have it outside. I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that Katie did a rain dance to keep the rain away, she’s truly that amazing! I must say the icing on the cake was when my wife and I returned to our room after the reception was over. There was a nicely framed photo of us taken at the ceremony, a lovely surprise. It truly was an amazing gesture. I can’t recommend Katie and Big Day Celebrations enough. It was an incredible value as well. She’s incredibly gifted at what she does, and our day would not have been the same without her. I literally told her after the reception that I couldn’t wait to write her the most positive review, because she truly made our big day just so perfect, we couldn’t have asked for anything more.

ssity of a coordinator) said that she was "great" and the best vendor we hired. That compliment really says it all coming from him. Katie makes you feel like a true friend and our coffee date prepping for the big day was my favorite part of the planning process. She's genuine, affordable, and just fantastic. We were blessed with her! Thank you Katie!!!!

n't want to have you or your family spending the entire day of the wedding decorating and doing vendor coordination. Katie is extremely personable and kind, and makes the wedding planning process much easier and manageable!

ing 2 weeks prior to the wedding. Honestly, if anything did go wrong on my wedding day I had NO idea and still don’t know. Everything was absolutely perfect, I had zero stress and I wouldn’t of changed anything! She was amazing and dealt with my crazy loud big family and friends. If you are thinking about hiring a wedding coordinator stop looking and hire her, I promise it’s worth every penny!! Thank you again Katie for everything!

y makes my job so much easier. I love her fun and energetic she is, it just makes my day even more fun =) I definitely recommend Katie for your special day!

as and diy projects and on the big day she put it all together for me so perfectly ! I would trust her with anything, A couple of minor things went wrong on the big day and no one noticed a thing because of how in control and on top of things Katie was. I would recommend her for any big event you have !!!

my girl! The most exciting day of my life had finally arrived on that special day in December, and Katie was on top of everything and kept me calm and in the loop. She has such an amazing personality you can't help but feel at ease and positive that everything will go as planned... and it did! I could not ask for a more perfect wedding day. I would recommend Katie to any girl who is looking for the best coordinator on their wedding day!

ould frequently check in with us and our other vendors to make sure everything was going alright months in advance! Our day was truly a fairytale due to the hard work they put in and were right there when we called! They were also prepared for anything and everything! I could honestly keep going! We are over the moon with how it all turned out! We could not have done it without Big Day Celebrations!

day of my wedding, I woke up and was completely stress-free and relaxed knowing that Katie had everything under control. I highly recommend Katie and Joe - they are a great Team!

king out decorations and would text me pictures from Michael's of things she found that I might like for the wedding. She helped me put together some of the decorations and when I realized I didn't have enough ribbon she offered to go pick up herself and also found me a small glass bowl I was in need of last minute. She was totally on top of everything. She was such a tremendous help. She provided advice when asked, but otherwise let us make our own decisions and was supportive of what we wanted. Her husband helped us to use my husbands' points to book flights and hotels for our honeymoon. She was always very enthusiastic. Towards the end I felt like she was a friend at our wedding, not just our wedding planner. The day of the wedding ran so smoothly thanks to her. She helped bustle my dress and even help take off my shoes to empty the beach sand and put back on. Big plus, she and her husband packed up all the decorations in our car after the reception which was a huge help. She was so thoughtful throughout the whole process. She is an utmost professional.

y with all of their help and expertise. She is so passionate and happy to help with whatever you need for your big day. Throughout the process, Katie was always available and responded so quickly with any questions or concerns I had, even when she was out of the country (I didn't expect her to respond till she got back)! Many times, she’d answer my questions before I could even ask them! Anything I brought up, she had an answer and a solution, and brought up some things I hadn’t even thought of. My husband didn't know how to tie his bowtie - no fear, Katie's husband is here!! She made sure every detail was perfectly put together and most importantly, ready on time. It allowed me to enjoy getting ready, our first look, taking pictures and just enjoy the whole day in general. A planner is so necessary for everything to go smoothly the day of, and picking Katie and Big Day Celebrations will take the stress out of all of those last-minute details that no bride should stress over. They both went above and beyond what I expected and am so thankful because our day would have not been the same or as perfect without them!

endors to décor and answer questions I hadn’t even thought to ask. Because of our July wedding date and the high probability for rain, heat, and humidity, my husband really wanted drapes to divide our reception space and allow for an indoor cocktail hour. We had a hard time finding a solution within our budget and were just about to scrap the vision when Katie found a vendor that perfectly matched our needs. With Big Day Celebration’s direction, the ceremony and reception were set up flawlessly and were more beautiful than I imagined. I am so thankful for Katie especially because her management of our wedding allowed our families to relax and truly enjoy every moment of the weekend. She alleviated any chance for confusion or anxiety and we couldn’t have asked for a better coordinator!

g industry and brides, everything she does is filled with pure joy and love. I'm delighted and honored to recommend her! Karen S., Howey-in-the-Hills

oughout our planning process, she was incredibly helpful and accessible. From the smallest details to the biggest decisions: Katie stood by our side each step of the way. When our big day approached, she was on top of EVERYTHING! Every little detail was thought of, planned for, and taken care of. She went above and beyond to make sure that our day was perfect. I highly recommend Katie to all brides; not only is she incredible at what she does (and so passionate about giving her couples’ their dream day), but by the end of the process, she isn’t only your wedding coordinator - she feels like one of your closest friends. We are so thankful for Big Day Celebrations and for all that they did to make our big day so special!

planning process! After speaking with Katie we knew she would be a perfect fit for us. She understood exactly what we were looking to accomplish on our wedding day and even had a number of suggestions we never even thought to consider. On the wedding day things ran smoothly with Big Day Celebrations assistance. From the ready room where I had issues with my dress train Katie came to the rescue with a quick fix! To the ceremony which was set-up beautifully to the reception centerpieces which were exactly how I envisioned them! Katie was all smiles all the time which helped me to stay calm even during a rain storm 2 hours before the outdoor ceremony. She took all of the anxiety away and handled all the details a bride could forget. I couldn’t ask for a better event planner to ensure the day had no bumps in the road!

nicated so well and were so organized. We couldn't be happier with how amazing our day was and Katie was truly awesome!

our whole lives and Katie helped ease the anxiety of not knowing all the little details. I hope everyone has someone half as good as her for their special day!

put together an AMAZING timeline. She worked so well with all of our other vendors- everyone loved Katie! Thank you, Katie!

his amazing timeline for my wedding of how the wedding should play out, and it was so helpful, and by the end of the night, I knew we accomplished everything we planned. She is also extremely responsive to calls, texts, and emails. She will answer any concern of your's and even help you brainstorm ideas. She will give you tips on other vendors to hire, as well, and I highly recommend her to any one on the fence of hiring a Day-of-Coordinator or is still searching for the right one. Look no further, it's Katie and it's not even close!

ough to express how vital she was in planning our wedding. Every vendor contacted me just to say how amazing she was as well. I don't think there could be anyone better to entrust with such an important moment. Even when I changed my mind a million times, Katie pulled off our day flawlessly. I am so thankful for her, and wish there was more than a 5 star rating because she deserves a million!

my mind. I felt completely at ease knowing she was handling everything. On the day of the wedding, Katie showed up ready for whatever the day would throw at her! I still have no idea how she managed to set up the entire ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception sites while still being there to facilitate pre-ceremony pictures, pinning on the guys’ boutonnieres, and making sure all the guests knew where they were going. Throughout the night, she was never too far away if I needed something. When we got back to the honeymoon suite there was champagne, flower, petals, and all of our cards and gifts waiting for us. Katie is simply the best, look no further! She very clearly loves what she does and is incredibly talented at it!!

her to help us. She went with us to multiple vendor meetings, was always available by phone or text, and always had a quick response to our many questions! She is incredibly knowledgeable about weddings as she has great prior experience. She has an outgoing, fun, and energetic personality that makes her a perfect fit for a wedding planner for any type of wedding! Prior to the wedding she contacted every vendor and made sure all of our vendors would arrive on time. She also made a very detailed (and perfect) wedding itinerary that she sent to every vendor and I. Once our wedding weekend arrived, she came to our rehearsal and made sure everyone knew exactly what to expect for wedding day. Katie was more than prepared the day of the wedding. She texted me first thing in the morning to see how I was doing and if I needed anything. She had a large emergency kit for any bride which came in handy for my wedding day. She also made sure everything was put in place exactly where I wanted it (guest book, photos, etc). She brought all the cards and gifts to my room before the night ended. She also made sure all of our vendors received their gratuity envelopes before the end of the night. Having her eliminated so much stress off of my mom and I. I truly cannot imagine how stressful wedding planning would have been if I didn't have Katie to help us. Do yourself favor and book her. You will not be disappointed and she will make sure you have the wedding of your dreams! Thank you Katie!!

ed them there with me getting ready!) so I caved and started searching. My photographer recommended Katie and she truly is the best! She eased every worry, handled every question, and made our day perfect. If there were any problems, we were unaware of them. She is very organized and talented. She made it so we could just relax on our wedding day. It was the best money we spent on our wedding, just to have peace of mind that everything was being handled, and all we had to do was enjoy the day.

coordinated all of our vendors seamlessly, mostly behind the scenes, so that we didn’t have much to worry about. Even though we hired Katie as our day of wedding coordinator, she was extremely helpful throughout the whole wedding planning process. She sent out multiple emails to check in on us and to see if we needed help with anything with the wedding. She made it known that she was an email, text and phone call away for anything. Whenever we needed help, advice or had a meltdown, Katie was our go to person. We weren’t stressed at all during our wedding, and so much of that was because of Katie’s work leading up to the wedding and throughout the day, taking care of problems as they came up. We love Katie!!

to plan another big event, we will definitely reach out to her.

nd always always took a load of my shoulders and let me feel relaxed by the time we were done talking. She is very organized and on top of everything and her return time on projects is unparalleled. I could not thank her enough she made my entire wedding day seem less and the most stress free I've been in months. The smartest thing I've ever done (besides ask my wife to marry me) is hiring Katie and big day celebrations! -Sean B-

anning process, and we needed it. With her experience, up-beat attitude, and ability to handle any issues that arose, she kept us from losing our minds. One call to Katie (or a Skype video chat) and my bride would go from extremely stressed over planning to comfortable where we were in the process, with a solid plan how to proceed forward. Katie pushed when we needed it, and helped simplify the tough decisions we faced. The day of our wedding, Katie was a superhero. She handled unforeseen vendor issues (we only found out about after the fact), needy guests, and any request we had no matter how absurd. Her organization and attention to detail was amazing. I could go on and on about how great she was for us, but you need to see it first hand. You can hire her with confidence. Stop reading reviews and make the call...it'll be the best decision you make for planning your wedding!

has the sweetest personality with a heart of gold. I promise you will not be disappointed in choosing Katie to help plan the most important day of your life. Much love + thank you again! Always, Brianna and Chris Oteri <3

d!!!!!!!

d helpful. A couple of weeks before the wedding, she constructed the wedding timeline, and from that point on, contacted the vendors, and dealt with the last minute details. I did not have to worry about sending any more emails, and returns phone calls during my lunch break at work. On the day of, Katie went above and beyond, and made sure that we did not stress on our big day. She was absolutely incredible. Our day went so smooth, and because of her, we were able to enjoy every minute of our wedding. I cannot thank Katie enough for helping to make our day so memorable! She truly enjoys what she does, and you can see that passion shine through her work. I would recommend Katie to anyone who has a special event, no matter how big or small! She will most definitely make the your day stress free, so that you may enjoy your event, and make wonderful memories.

a detailed timeline which kept all of my vendors informed on the happenings of the day and ensuring that everything flowed smoothly. On my wedding day, she helped place finishing touches at our reception venue and even made sure that I had time to eat! Thanks to Katie, I was able to enjoy my wedding day with the peace of mind that all the details were being handled! I can't imagine having gone through it without her by my side!

ppened perfectly! She was so calm and never made me feel stressed even for a minute. Her husband Joe was excellent in helping her throughout the day and I could not have asked for a better couple to plan my big day! Love these two so much!!

he perfect officiant and setting up one heck of a great reception after our big moment. I was highly impressed with her attention to detail and her patience working with my wife for the weeks leading to the big day. Absolutely top notch service!

ie, I would hire her on the spot!" I had met a few coordinators before but just didn't get the "spark" I was looking for. Thankfully the wedding gods were in my favor and Katie went full time with Big Day Celebrations before my wedding date! Needless to say I was thrilled to have her be there for my big day. Katie truly kept me at ease through the whole wedding weekend! Katie has a very vibrant and cheerful personality but was able to direct my chaotic family when it came time for rehearsal! Not many can do that! Katie pays attention to detail and is sure to make sure that all the vendors are on the same page. On my special day I didn't want to worry about a thing-and I was able to do that with Katie. Even when it came to the end of the night, Katie and Joe packed up and loaded everything into our vehicles so that we didn't have a mess to deal with the next morning. I truthfully enjoyed my day because I KNEW Katie had everything under control. Thanks to Katie and Joe, my day was perfect.

my husband and I decide to get married here. Thank to meeting Katie, my wedding is perfect. Although there was some thunderstorms before the ceremony, Katie moved all outside decoration into indoor quickly and decorated the room beautifully. All my guests were surprised for my small but wonderful wedding. Working with her is a very happy and pleasant experience because she is always very passionate! I'm calm person and not easily to be excited, but every time I met Katie I was influenced by her enthusiasm. If you are looking for someone who is knowledgable about wedding planning in Orlando area, I will definitely recommend Katie!

e wedding party and family and led our rehearsal effectively and efficiently ensuring that the ceremony would run smoothly. The weeks and days leading up to the wedding she met with me one on one, set up a skype meeting because I was out of town, and sent emails and texts to check on me and see if there was anything that needed to be done. This was a huge help because I quickly learned that I could not do everything! I was comfortable having her be my hands and assuring me that everything would get done. The day of the wedding Katie was very professional in her dress and manner. She checked on the bridesmaids and groomsmen, and worked with the florist to make sure all the flowers were delivered and given to the right people. She was at the ceremony site with plenty of time to make sure everything was in place and ready to go. I am extremely pleased with the hard work and dedication Katie gave to myself and to our wedding. She made myself and our day a priority and it showed in her work.

e. Katie and her team executed a seamless ceremony and reception for our over 200 guests! I was able to completely take in all aspects of my wedding without a single worry because I knew Katie was working her magic. Absolutely the best decision after deciding to marry my best friend.

d everything that day WAS perfect. There were no snags in the schedule or the decor or anything with the wedding. She made sure we were on time and put me at complete ease the entire weekend. Everyone kept asking me if I was stressed or nervous or anything, and I could honestly answer no because I had Katie! I cannot say enough great things about Katie!

e rehearsal the night before. So many of our guests were amazed at the work she did for us in keeping everything running smoothly. She goes above and beyond, and you can see how passionate she is about her work. We cannot thank her enough for making our day so perfect. Katie is prepared (we encountered rain during our ceremony and she was right then with an umbrella), dedicated, and focused. Her husband, Joseph also helped us plan our honeymoon to Belize and saved us over a THOUSAND dollars! He has extensive travel experience, making him extremely knowledgeable about many areas of the world. He did a lot of research for us in order to help us find the right place to go that was well suited to the activities and environment we wanted to be in during our honeymoon. We have friends planning trips through him, and we will be sure to always use him in the future for any major trips we go on! He has great ideas and advice for all kinds of trips all over the world. Thank you so much Katie and Joseph!
