If I could give Katie 6/5 stars, I would!!!!
When we hired Katie about nine months before our wedding, I thought I was a pretty chill bride. Then wedding planning humbled me. Ther...
e are so many moving pieces, decisions, personalities, timelines, and details that I never could have anticipated. Looking back, I genuinely don't know what we would have done without her.
From day one, Katie made an immediate impact. She helped me think through countless details that never would have crossed my mind, from wedding day logistics and timelines to all of the little things you need to bring and prepare for. Every time I found something new to worry about, Katie already had a plan. There were even a few family situations I was stressed about, and she simply said, "No problem, I'll handle it!" (She did!!!)
Beyond being incredibly organized and talented, Katie is just a joy to be around. Every planning session felt like catching up with a friend. Whether we were grabbing a drink, hopping on a call, or working through wedding details, she somehow made the entire process feel lighter.
One of the things I appreciated most was how she helped bring my vision to life. I'm a creative person and had a lot of ideas, some of which were all over the place. Katie helped me refine everything into something cohesive and beautiful while still making me feel like the wedding was completely ours. Her guidance never felt controlling. I always felt like I had ownership over the creative direction, and she helped turn it into something even better than I imagined.
On the wedding day itself, Katie was an absolute rockstar. We had weather concerns leading up to the event, and she kept us calm, confident, and prepared with a rain plan that thankfully we never needed. She knew exactly when to take charge and keep things moving, and exactly when to fade into the background and handle things behind the scenes. The result was that my husband and I were actually able to enjoy our wedding day.
I can't tell you how many friends, family members, and people in our wedding party came up to us during the wedding and the next day to tell us how incredible our planner was. Multiple people said she was one of the best wedding planners they had ever seen. Watching her in action, I completely understood why.
Brides, if you're looking for someone who will keep you sane, advocate for you, handle problems before you even know they exist, and be the best sidekick you could ask for throughout the process, you've found your person. Katie is truly exceptional!!!!
Katie was hands down the best money we spent on our wedding. She gave me what I am affectionally calling my princess fairytale dream wedding that was beyond even my wildest imagina...
tion. I had a vibe in my head but no idea how to bring it to life. Katie nailed it. Her relationships with other local vendors alone is worth her fee. She was there every step of the way, even when I didn't expect her to be. She is knowledgeable, responsive, and runs a tight ship on wedding day. My wedding day was perfect, and if there was anything that wasn't perfect, I have literally no idea about it so Katie clearly did her job. I cannot recommend Katie/Bubbly Events more highly to any other Wilmington brides!!
We had the absolute pleasure of working with Katie Lange and her amazing team at Bubbly Events for our wedding on October 11, 2025, and I truly cannot imagine our day without her. ...
From the very beginning, Katie was incredibly communicative, organized, and thoughtful, but what really stood out was how genuinely supportive and invested she was in making our wedding everything we hoped it would be. The very first question she asked us was what our priorities were...not anyone else’s opinions or just a generic “vision”...and that set the tone for everything that followed in the best way.
In the three months leading up to the wedding, her guidance became even more invaluable. She helped us navigate every detail with such calm confidence, always making us feel like we were in the very best hands. From table settings to lighting, DJ recommendations to signage - no question was too small, and no detail was ever overlooked.
The week of our wedding brought an unexpected challenge, a nor’easter rolled in and completely changed our plans. We had to move our cocktail hour indoors, and what could have been a stressful scramble turned into a completely seamless transition thanks to Katie. She coordinated with all of our vendors, handled every logistical detail, and made the entire situation feel effortless from our perspective. Because of her, I was able to stay present and actually enjoy the days leading up to our wedding, which is something I’ll always be grateful for.
On the day itself, Katie was not only incredibly professional and on top of everything, but also so fun, warm, and full of positive energy. Not just me and Pearson, our entire wedding party absolutely adored her. She brought the best vibe to the day and made everyone feel comfortable, taken care of, and ready to celebrate.
Honestly, I wish we could do it all over again just so we could spend more time working with Katie (and her really cute dogs!). She is truly exceptional at what she does, and even more importantly, she is a genuinely wonderful person. She made our wedding day feel magical, smooth, and completely stress-free. We cannot recommend her highly enough!
We hired Bubbly Events NC for Wedding Planning + Design, including rehearsal dinner coordination, expecting a structured, seamless experience. While our wedding day was beautiful, ...
the planning process was frustratingly inconsistent.
Communication & Coordination Issues
Emails often went unanswered for weeks, requiring repeated follow-ups. Despite hiring Bubbly Events NC, we handled all vendor coordination and design ourselves. Meetings felt rushed, and responses were brief and unhelpful.
The rehearsal dinner lacked structure, forcing us to manage logistics. Transportation was mishandled—our groomsmen were told no trolley was coming, despite my multiple confirmations with Katie and Azalea Limousine Service.
Wedding Day Execution
Key details were overlooked:
• Guests were left standing at the ceremony due to seating mismanagement. Sticky notes replaced proper name tags.
• My veil fell off as I walked down the aisle. My dad had to hold it.
• My bustle wasn’t properly secured, affecting photos and our first dance.
• My scheduled first look with my father was entirely missed, despite him arriving on time.
Professionalism & Accountability
Katie made dismissive comments, such as criticizing our floral budget and complaining about a petal toss cleanup. When I asked where to steam my dress, she responded, “You should’ve already steamed it.” Meanwhile, when I needed help, my Maid of Honor found her eating Chick-fil-A.
After the wedding, Katie dismissed concerns about the rehearsal dinner and shifted blame for the missed first look onto the photographers. Her explanation that she is a “planning, coordination, and design planner”—not a full event planner—felt like an excuse. At over $5,000, I expected better execution and support.
Final Thoughts
While Katie can execute a wedding, her lack of attention to detail, professionalism, and accountability made the planning process frustrating. I cannot, in good conscience, recommend Bubbly Events NC.
From the moment we met Katie Lange, we knew we were in capable hands. Throughout the entire journey, from the initial planning stages to the big day itself, she provided us with a ...
level of comfort and guidance that exceeded our expectations.
One of the most remarkable aspects of working with her was her ability to solve any issue that arose seamlessly. No matter how big or small the problem, she tackled it with grace and professionalism, ensuring that our special day proceeded. Her reassuring presence made us feel secure and allowed us to relax and enjoy every moment.
On the day of the wedding, she truly went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. From fluffing my dress to checking in on my bridesmaids during the getting ready process, she was there every step of the way, ensuring that everyone felt comfortable and supported.
Her attention to detail and dedication to her craft were evident in every aspect of her work. Thanks to her expertise and tireless efforts, our wedding day was everything we had dreamed of and more! We cannot recommend her highly enough to any couple looking for a wedding planner who will not only meet but exceed their expectations. Thank you for making our special day truly unforgettable!!!
I can’t recommend bubbly events enough!! Katie and her team were amazing to work with! I didn’t have to worry about a single thing at our rehearsal or the day of. They took care of...
everything so seamlessly! She provides so much more than just a service - it truly feels like you have a friend in your corner taking care of every little detail and walking you through the day step by step so you can enjoy it as much as possible. I can’t thank Katie and her team enough!!
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! Katie was such a blessing in making our wedding day perfect!! She is so great to work with, is super attentive to details, and there was not one thing I would...
have changed about our big day!! She even acted as security and kicked out some wedding crashers! I seriously cannot thank Katie enough for everything she has done for us- I'm still so happy when I think of how perfect our wedding day was!! I'd give her a million stars if I could!! So happy we went with Bubbly Events as our wedding coordinator- I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone getting married in the Wilmington area! :) You will not regret it!!
I don’t even know where to start- Katie and the Bubbly Events team were just amazing every step of the way! Throughout the planning process, Katie was so helpful and communicative ...
and was quick to respond to all of my random questions. She offered suggestions and minor changes to help the vision come together, and even went out of her way to send me different combinations of table settings/ linen color schemes since I lived out of town and couldn’t make it to see things in person. Katie is just such a nice, energetic, wonderful person and made the wedding day so much fun! She was so organized and on top of things the day of our wedding, and kept my husband and I comfortable and having fun all day long. She handled all of the little curve balls I threw at her by accidentally forgetting a few decor items, etc (oops) and made everything absolutely perfect. I would 100% recommend Bubbly Events to anyone and we were so happy we chose her as our wedding planner. Thank you Katie and team for a job well done!!
We hired Bubbly Events for my daughter’s wedding which was held in August 6, 2020. Our wedding venue was Wrightsville Manor. Due to the Covid restrictions we had to change a lot of...
the wedding details. Katie from Bubbly Events was absolutely amazing. She was on top of everything. Anytime we had a question or a change of an idea, she responded within minutes. She was able to accommodate everything that we needed and she kept in touch with the vendors continuously. On the day of the wedding everything ran absolutely perfect. She sees the things that we would have easily missed, like getting areas free from any clutter for the videographers and photographers. She kept us on time for each event without ever making us feel rushed. The day of the wedding was so stress-free. The entire wedding party just basically breezed through without a care really. She did all of the thinking for us! I wish I could hire her for my day-to-day life! It would definitely run smoother if I could! I will never ever try to organize a large event again without the expertise of Katie and Bubbly Events!
If you are looking for the best wedding planner out there, look no further! Katie is absolutely amazing! Throughout the entire planning process she answered any questions I had wit...
hout delay. She had so many amazing vendors to recommend and pointed me in the right direction when I had no idea what I was doing. There was rain in the forecast for our wedding day but Katie had everything handled and kept me calm. It did end up raining on our wedding day, for the entire day, but Katie kept everything running smoothly and I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day! Katie was such a trooper and helped us get all the amazing outside photos I was hoping for. Thanks to Katie I was able to spend my wedding day soaking up every amazing moment without worrying about the logistics of the day.
Katie is absolutely amazing! I do not know what I would have done without her! She answered my hundred of questions, and gave me great recommendations throughout the planning proce...
ss. The day went so smoothly despite the pouring rain during the ceremony, she kept me calm (and dry ) on the way to the venue. Every bride needs her on their wedding day, and I am recommending her to all of my engaged friends!
Having Katie and her team at Bubbly Events help with our special day was the best thing we could have done. We did a modified partial planning package. She was so helpful and helpe...
d steer me when I was completely lost in the wedding planning process. She made sure I had thought of everything and was on schedule. The day before and of, SHE WAS AMAZING. Everything was perfectly planned and thought out. I had multiple wedding party members and guests comment on how on top of it she was and how great the day turned out because of it. I could have never made it the day of my dreams like it was without her. When I see pictures of the setup and design, my jaw still drops. On top of just having a great personality and being fun to work with, Bubbly events is hands down the way to go!
I could not have planned my wedding without Katie Lange! Hands down the best money we spent on our entire wedding. Funny how wedding planners can actually help you to SAVE money in...
the end. I didn't worry about anything on my wedding day, because I knew Katie and her team had it handled. She made sure that everything went off without a hitch. The venue looked beautiful when she and her team were finished setting up, and it took so much stress off! She also helped with those "one-off" detail questions throughout the months of planning and even went to my rental appointment with me to make sure we had rented everything we needed. We had the most perfect, stress-free wedding day and we owe that to Katie! We loved her and you will too!!
We hired Katie for partial planning and day of coordination services right after we booked our venue (Brick Landing in Ocean Isle Beach). We could NOT have made a better decision! ...
Katie kept us organized, helped make important decisions, and made sure we were hitting the milestones we needed to be throughout the planning process. Her greatest value, however, was the day of the wedding when – you guessed it – it rained right before I was supposed to walk across the boardwalk to our outdoor ceremony. Katie and her assistant gathered the guests to help them get quickly out of the rain, kept me calm, and then convinced me to stick it out so we could have my dream outdoor ceremony. She worked with the venue to open the bar early (easing my biggest fears of inconveniencing our guests!), got hair dryers for the moms, and made sure everyone was comfortable while we waited out our slight rain delay. And it was so worth it! Everything the rest of the day went smoothly and we got back on schedule quickly with Katie leading the way. My husband and I didn’t worry about a thing on our wedding day and we have Bubbly Events to thank for that! Katie’s professionalism is unmatched and we were so happy to have her throughout the planning process and on our wedding day.
Katie is the best! She walked us through everything! Our wedding rehearsal was the most organized rehearsal I have ever been to. She had everything laid out and cards where everyon...
e was supposed to stand. No one had any questions or concerns the day of. She was with us the entire day of the wedding making sure everything was exactly how we wanted. I would definitely recommend Bubbly Events!!

ning and the wedding day. I love her love of organization and efficiency. Our wedding was absolutely beautiful and everything went off without a hitch thanks to Katie! She was able to flip the ceremony space for the reception in less than an hour. She doesn't cut corners and does her best to make everything just how you envision it to be. Katie really feels more like a close friend, than our wedding planner. She's great at communicating with other vendors and your guests. It was great not to have to stress on the wedding day. No one came to me with questions and more importantly no one bothered my mom or sister either. We were able to relax and truly enjoy the day, which is great since it speeds by in a blur! Call Katie now or you will regret it! Love her :D
Katie and her team are absolutely AMAZING! She was so patient and attentive to all of my needs and questions through out the entire coordination process! Our day was absolutely per...
fect thanks to Katie! Everything went as planned and she keeps everything in line and organized, I didn't have to life a finger on my wedding day! Her prices are reasonable and she goes above and beyond to make sure her brides are happy and their day is flawless! We can't thank you enough Bubbly Events, y'all rock!
Words cannot adequately describe how wonderful Katie (and her team) are. I went back and forth on whether to hire a wedding planner because I wanted to be frugal. There are two peo...
ple I could not have gotten married without: my groom, and KATIE. Hiring Bubbly Events was the best thing I did during the planning process. Everyone tells you things will go wrong on your wedding day...not with Katie in charge. Even if there are small hiccups, you don't know about them until well after the wedding is over, you've had the perfect night, and you can just laugh at the small things that went "wrong." I could type a book about how wonderful she is to work with. My entire bridal party raved about her. She is sweet, BUBBLY, efficient, and quite possibly the most organized person I've ever met. I had my fairy tale wedding and I owe it all to her. She made my vision turn into a reality better than I could have ever imagined and dealt with all of the vendors so I wasn't stressed at all on my big day. If you are a bride in the NC/SC area, hire Katie. Do it now. You won't regret it.
