EVENTS BY KATHERINE

ors to make sure everyone was on the same page. Katherine was extremely professional, but also warm and easy to work with. We appreciated that she was very timely with her responses when we contacted her. On the wedding day, Katherine and her assistant Jordan kept everything running smoothly, the details were exactly what we envisioned, and all our special requests were fulfilled. We were able to just enjoy the day with our guests.

s-free, and knowing we had a professional who was handling all the details and thinking of everything we weren't thinking of took such a weight off our shoulders and let us truly enjoy our wedding. Moreover, all the guests commented on how beautiful and perfect the wedding was, saying it was like a movie wedding, and that wouldn't have happened without Katherine's efforts. I highly recommend her!

over the phone and offered partial planning which not many planners offered. We are so happy we chose her. We had both Katherine and Brittney the day of our wedding and they made it to where we didn’t have to stress about anything. They were such a great team and very kind and patient. Katherine reminded us on the day of that this was our day and if we wanted to make a change, we could let her know. We were able to have fun and truly have an amazing and special day without the worry of making sure everything ran smoothly. Katherine helped us put all the planning together and communicated with all our vendors. She gave us great advice and helped us find other vendors that we loved working with. We highly recommend Events by Katherine!!!

erine were able to communicate with all vendors and make sure the wedding go smooth, so we wouldn't have to worry about anything else, totally recommend.

edding as I knew that Katherine would make sure everyone was where they needed to be and all the details would be taken care of. It was the best present a mother of the bride could ask for on her daughter’s wedding day! She had been the coordinator for my older daughter, so I knew the wedding day coordinating was in excellent hands. Katherine made sure all the items we provided were in place before the wedding, made sure any gifts brought to the wedding were secure during the reception and packed up all the items we brought, especially the heirloom cake knife and cake topper, were ready for us to take home after the ceremony. I can’t thank you enough for allowing us to just enjoy this special day!

the setup the cake vender forgot to bring the cake topper and Katherine got on it right of way and resolved the issue in no time.

her help. I booked this company for day of coordination and I am so happy I chose them. Jessica was always available to answer all of my questions. Even though we only booked her for the day of our wedding she was there throughout the entire process to help. Events by Katherine offered suggestions and vendor recommendations whenever I needed it. This is important because there are so many wedding vendors in the OC/LA area and it can be tough to pick the right vendors. Jessica was always quick to respond to all my emails. She is very easy to talk to and has an overall sweet personality. I enjoyed talking to her! She is a good listener and gives great advice.

g went wrong we were completely oblivious to it! Katherine is so responsive, has great ideas and is such a professional! If you are looking for a wedding planner to help you plan a great wedding and have that day go smoothly definitely reach out to Katherine. Even my guests commented on what a great wedding planner we had!

I'm still hearing from so many of our guests "one of the most beautiful weddings I've ever been to". Our day-of coordinator Alexandra met with us 2 months before our big day which took a huge burden off our shoulders just in the nick of time (right when the bridezilla truly starts to emerge). She was definitely the backbone in the final months of planning which alleviated so much stress, not to mention she was also so emotionally supportive! Most people will give their die-hard wedding advice (to do a first look or not). Alexandra, on the other hand, encouraged my husband and I to decide on what felt right to US as a couple rather than following the industry standard. I love that about her. Events by Katherine made our wedding dreams come true seemlessly. The communication was swift and thorough. All of our questions were answered. Bottom line- our wedding would not have been as amazing as it was if it weren't for this wonderful team of women who collaborated and executed!

respected our budget and was communicative throughout. Day of Katherine and Brianna did an incredible job executing the wedding. Having a wedding in your own home for 115 is challenging and they did an awesome job shielding my parents and I from feeling like it was 'on us' to do anything. She ensured my husband and I ate, kept us on schedule smoothly and made the whole day a pleasure. Highly recommended!

and was completely unflappable no matter what requests we made. She also always available and responsive, an important quality given that the bride and groom both live on the east coast and had limited opportunity to discuss plans with her face to face. Finally, and most importantly, Katherine and Brianna kept everything moving like clockwork on the wedding day; everything was absolutely flawless and we were just able to relax and enjoy the event. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

kly and Katherine was on top of everything. From first meeting and going over a timeline, to seeing the property and picturing the perfect layout, to contacting all vendors the week of the wedding to ensure I could relax-THE BEST! I was so relaxed on wedding day because it all ran smoothly and perfectly!! Seriously, I put these women through the ringer moving 150 chairs in 90 degree heat (oops!) and they handled it with a smile.

l about the necessity of a wedding planner. Well, lesson learned; I don't know what we would have done without Katherine. She was professional, organized, reliable, enthusiastic but calm and never flustered, and made the entire experience wonderful and stress free. Money well spent. Case in point: the wedding was three months ago and we miss her.

attention to detail and love and care they took with everything they did. We got married at the Marconi motorsport museum in Tustin, and had the entire evening, including the reception at the single location. There was much to coordinate for each phase from ceremony to the last dance of the night and Alex and Jordan stayed until the job was done - even going above and beyond helping us with our daughter, parents and wrangling family and friends for pictures. We opted for the day of package as we had planned most of the event ourselves in advance - that said their "day of" service is more like MONTH OF +. Alex took the time to meet with us 6+ weeks before our wedding, did an in depth interview with us, gathered all the vendor information, helped us with last minute details and worked on organizing the flow of the evening and final communication with all our vendors. It wasn't until we met Alex did we realize how much MORE work there was to do! The great thing was she handled it all for us and made it look easy and proved how clutch she was before we even got close to the wedding. She regularly checked in via email and text leading up to the day and ensured all details were properly sorted. We highly recommend Events by Katherine and specifically Alex and Jordan to be your wedding or special event coordinator. Their knowledge of event planning and logistics in the planning stage more than pays for their service, and will save you tons of headaches. In addition to doing a superb job, they were both very supportive and invested in our special day, which was touching to experience. They both proved themselves to be great humans in addition to great wedding planners and coordinators. Stop reading and call Events by Katherine now - you will not regret it!

ons for the day. She kept me and my fiancé calm throughout the entire planning process, and I could not think more highly of Katherine and her assistant Brianna. I had the absolute time of my life the day of the wedding, and I owe that to Events by Katherine!

and responds to e-mails in a very timely manner. She made wedding planning fun, which I think is hard to do! The cherry on top was that she was awesome on our wedding day. She made the day all about us, did whatever she could to make sure we were comfortable and having fun. Seriously, went above and beyond everything we asked her to do! Definitely someone you want to have on your team!

dding and without her I don't think I would have made it! Everything was scheduled and organized without me needing to stress. She went to my appointments with me, and when I was feeling indecisive she would step up and tell me her opinion. 9/10 times I would go with what she suggested! I highly recommend her and her wonderful assistant Brianna.

ication and contacting vendors and being on top of every thing no matter how big or small. She handled little changes or additions we made up to day of like a champion and I could not have imagined having any other person help guide us and be with us day of. It took a while for me to convince my fiancé at first for us to get a coordinator and once we got Jessica he admitted to never being more wrong in his life! He could not have imagined getting through the last 3 months and day of without her!! If you’re on the fence, DON’T BE, Jessica is amazing and I would put all confidence in her that she can make any wedding special for the couple!

thank Katherine from the bottom of my heart for being absolutely amazing to work with. From the moment we met her, she was professional, organized, and made the planning process much more straightforward. I truly can't say enough positive things to convey how talented Katherine is as a wedding planner. She was resourceful, calm and detailed throughout the entire process and made sure everything went smoothly. I have since been to a few weddings and, while they were beautiful and enjoyable, I noticed a few hiccups that could have been avoided with an experienced wedding planner. Our wedding was the best day of my life, and I have Katherine to thank for making it one of the most stress-free days as well. I recommend her without reservation to any bride-to-be.

artial planning services. She is detail-oriented and was on schedule with all the meetings. She provided us a wedding timeline schedule and budget excel sheet to help us along the way. Katherine and her team were fantastic and we're glad to have them taking care of us.

y husband and I. We highly recommend Katherine and know she will make your event be a moment to remember as well. Thank you Katherine!

the details of our wedding. She ensured that our day was exactly what we had dreamed it would be. She was organized and so helpful. Katherine took so much stress off of me so I could enjoy the engagement and the planning process. She took care of any hiccups on the day of our wedding with such grace. The day was so seamless and me and my husband were able to enjoy without a worry in the world. -Tanner's New Wife Heather

month before our wedding she met with us to start taking over communications with vendors and help us put together a timeline for the event. After our first meeting, my stress level definitely decreased. She and her assistant met with us for about 2 hours and asked us about 150 questions. She asked about details I had not even considered and she had suggestions, options, advice, ideas for all of it! I knew whatever I didn't know or plan for she would have it covered. Katherin and her team were kind and professional during the event. She managed all the communication with vendors, bridesmaids, groomsmen, parents, guests, the venue... everyone. No one was coming to me with questions or problems, which made me infinitely happy. I didn't have to do anything except enjoy the day. During the reception, if my husband or I saw something that needed to be done, before either of us could say anything it was already taken care of. It was almost as if we had magic elves doing all the work. If you need a coordinator, do yourself a favor and hire Events By Katherine. You won't be disappointed.

hard work and organization eliminated any and all stress so that we could just enjoy our day! We highly recommend both Jessica and Events by Katherine to coordinate your wedding! You will not be disappointed!

ommend Katherine and her amazing team!

of the wedding planning/Coordination/wedding day managing were done in a very professional way. Katherine took care of every details and I was in no stress throughout the whole process! On a personal level, Katherine is such a kind and sweet person! She is calm and reassuring which I think it is extremely valuable quality for her profession! I highly recommend Katherine and her team! Thanks to Jordan too!! You gave us a beautiful life time memory!

was my own. We had amazing vendors who made our dreams a reality, and Katherine Hoggard is most certainly one of them! Her attention to detail is unbelievable. There was nothing too big, too small, or too strange for her to help with! Even things I planned to do myself, she took off of my hands and allowed me to be the bride and enjoy the experience. I am forever grateful to her for that! When I first met her, she greeted me with a warm smile and a hug, and I immediately knew everything was going to be great. I cannot say enough positive things about her! We would highly recommend her to any couple looking for a wedding planner or coordination team!

questions I had. And thanks to her our wedding day was absolutely perfect. She made sure everything went as scheduled and took care of any issues that arose so well that I never even knew we had a few teeny speed bumps. This was the absolute best decision and you won't go wrong!

make it a smooth day. Katherine was very professional and I had the opportunity to work her more personally. She answered any questions I had and helped me with all the little details to ensure my fairy tale vision came true!

I hired Katherine one month before my wedding to handle the month-of and day-of coordination. She never missed a beat, and handled everything. She is clearly very experienced and knew just what to look out for. I think our other vendors were able to do a much better job for us because Katherine was coordinating, and we were all able to relax that month and that day. Thank you, Katherine!

s planning a cross-country wedding and Alex was so responsive to every single question that I had. During the big day Alex, Jessica and Jordan were SO AMAZING! Everything went so smoothly and they made sure the reception venue looked just the way I wanted it. I would highly recommend this amazing group of ladies to anyone that is looking for wedding planning help!

y schedule effortlessly. My wedding was beautiful and everything turned out magical. We got married July 23, 2016 at the Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History and they made everything we wanted come true! thank you all so much!!

g all our vendors (some who didn't even speak english), to ensuring things were set up correctly and making sure everything got back to our room safely at the end of the night, they didn't leave any stone unturned...they did it all! And above all, their biggest goal was to ensure that Jeff and I had an amazing day and everything that we wanted and needed. I was touched by their hard work and commitment and would absolutely recommend their services! Thank you Katherine, Jessica, Karley, and Brianna!

ought of that". She made the day of the wedding so less stressful and covered every detail. I can't thank Katherine and her team enough for the hard work and dedication to making Sept. 24, 2016 a day my whole family will always cherish. PS My husband even stated the day after the wedding that getting Katherine as our wedding coordinator was the best thing we ever did.

friends wish we would do this every 3 years! We used Katherine’s Full Service Wedding Planning package, which was a great choice. With only 8 months away from the wedding, and nothing booked/bought besides the venue, I was a little bit panicking on the inside. But Katherine calmly helped us create a to-do list and prioritize what needed to be done first. We were faced with so many difficult decisions throughout the process (chicken or fish? Chiavari chairs, yes or no?), but with Katherine’s guidance it all seemed like a breeze. During meetings with vendors, she was very mindful of our preferences and asked the right questions to make sure that we made the right choices. With Katherine’s help, we were able to have a wedding that we will never forget. Choose Katherine as your event planner, and you will not regret it.

tail, and will give you her honest opinions. I felt completely comfortable sitting back and letting Katherine take the reins. She is also flexible with her time, as well as your budget. More, Katherine has an incredible reputation in the local area. As a result, all of our other vendors were excited to work with her. Her assistants are lovely, too! I would not change one single detail of my entire wedding. The day was absolutely perfect and stress-free, and I attribute most of that to Katherine. I truly could not be happier with her services.

was the consumate professional, accommodating and understanding throughout this process and the wedding day was as seamless as humanly possible, largely due to her, Karley and Brianna's hard work and attention to detail. I LOVED how my vision of ceremony and reception turned out. I'm happy to share this review with future clients. A million thanks!

al and very professional. Katherine felt like a big sister to my wife and I, always there when we needed her. Whether it was a small maybe stupid question, to a more complicated vendor question about billing, Katherine always had a very sound and reasonable answer and we never had to wait long to hear from her either as she usually go back to us within a day. Katherine also has very good connections, as she also helped us find a very good DJ, photographer, and cinematographer (the cinematographer liked Katherine so much she gave us a huge discount!). Helping find these key vendors alone already made Katherine worth her weight in gold. However we also needed Katherine for her day of coordination, and let me say she and her team were amazing. First of all her day of wedding timeline was so organized and detailed that other vendors commented on that her time line/time table was very organized and professional. As a result all the vendors, gifts, music, lighting, and flowers etc were immaculate and ready when we arrived. There were no hiccups everything was smooth as could be. Her assistants Karly and Brianna were on point with everything. It's like they could read our minds, the brought us drinks while taking pictures right when I was just thinking "I'm thirsty I could use a drink". The collected our gifts for us and safely stored them and then even help pack them up at the end of the night. They were all so very polite, professional, and overall a pleasure to work with. So when my friends ask us if planning our wedding was stressful, I reply no because we have a great wedding planner and she is worth every single dollar and I would recommend her to every single friend and family member.

an it myself but due to some unfortuante events I was overwhelmed and needed help. After my first meeting with her I felt completely relieved and confident that she could take over and get everything done. I thought I was organized but Katherine is beyond organized and on top of everything. She did all the coordination and communication with all of my vendors and venue. There are so many other little things that she did to make my day so special and I am so grateful to have had her there to celebrate with me! I would absolutely recommend Katherine to plan your wedding or special event!!!

me to pull off the wedding. They were so detail oriented and made my dream wedding came true. They all are very pretty to look at too! LOL thank you, Katherine, Karley and Briana.

hat! Katherine and her team made a huge difference in terms of making sure things went as planned on the big day. She is extraordinarily organized and has the planning process nailed. I consider myself to be very organized, but Katherine is impressive. Even though we only contracted with her for "day of" services, she spent a good deal of time with us, walking through our vision for how the day would go. She made great suggestions and produced a detailed timeline that we used to make sure all vendors were coordinated leading up to and on the day of the wedding. She also kept us on track leading up to the wedding in terms of making sure we were prepared with marriage license paperwork, making sure our vendors had submitted all required documentation to the reception vendor, etc. On the day of the wedding, Katherine and her team executed flawlessly. She kept us on schedule in a nice way, she made sure everything for the church arrived at the church and same for the reception. She coordinated the cleanup efforts after the wedding and packed us a box full of everything we needed to take with us from the reception (including some extra wedding cake). We continue to receive compliments from our guests on the wedding and I believe this in large part due to the coordination efforts of Katherine and her team as well as her recommendations on other vendors such as the florist and wedding cake vendors. I would highly recommend Events by Katherine, it is well worth the extra money you will spend so you and your family members can have a really enjoyable and memorable experience.

ns relating to vendor insurance, tipping, donations for the officiant, etc. Katherine ensured that the bride and groom were free to enjoy their day with no worries about wedding details.

e, I knew she was the best choice. She is so cool and calm and extremely detailed. She has the ability to see your vision and make it happen. I didn't worry about a single thing on my wedding day. Katherine took care of everything, down to the last detail. And she made it seem effortless. Thank you Katherine, for helping make our wedding memorable.

as very professional and easy to work with. Both my parents, my husband and I were very happy with how the wedding turned out. All of our friends and famiy said it was the BEST and most BEAUTIFUL wedding they have ever been to thanks to her. I highly recommend her!

d. We used their service primarily for coordination on the day of the wedding but Christine met with us way before and was available to us for any questions or needs. Christine stepped in wherever and whenever we needed her which included helping to pick up dozens of bundt cakes on the day of the wedding and the team even had to make an emergency run back to our house to retrieve keys that had been forgotten! We have had several members of the wedding party and guest comment on how wonderful and helpful Christine was and all with a smile on her face and she simply fit right in! We had given Christine some details on reception set up and everything was done exactly as we would have wanted and described. Great attention to details. Thanks to them, the wedding and reception went off beautifully and was great fun! We would highly recommend Events by Katherine and Christine in particular. As a mom of 4 daughters I know that these kind of great finds to help with wedding events are priceless!
