Fancy Figs

Kathleen has a down-to-earth personality and calm presence that make her extremely comforting and enjoyable to work with during the overwhelming time of wedding planning. She is a skilled and upbeat creative problem-solver, and she is responsive, attentive, and impeccably organized. In the lead-up to our wedding, Kathleen was incredibly generous with her time in email correspondence and phone conversations to help us refine our wedding weekend timeline, tent floorplan, and other logistics, as well as offering to coordinate directly with our vendors to hone final plans. On the day before our wedding, Kathleen was prepared, patient, and ready to laugh with our families as she coached us for the "big day." We did several things on our own for our wedding, but of course some final details had gotten pushed to the very last minute -- Kathleen noticed the remaining holes that needed to be filled, suggested quick solutions, and even offered to help with some of the small last minute tasks we still had on our plate the night before the wedding. The morning of our wedding, it was clear that the small chance of rain we'd hoped would disappear had grown into a definite chilly, rainy day - but thanks to Kathleen's quick creativity and positivity, we wouldn't have traded our drizzly wedding day for a sunny one even if we could. Kathleen enacted our loosely-organized rain plan with such grace that no one even knew it was the back-up plan, and left us with absolutely no logistics to worry about so we could be fully present for what mattered most on our wedding day. We couldn't have pulled off our wedding without Kathleen - she was a joy to work with in the lead up to our wedding and was ready-for-anything on the day itself. We would recommend her in a heartbeat to any couples cobbling together most of their wedding logistics on their own but wanting a knowledgeable, creative, calming, guide to help weave things together and make sure nothing gets forgotten.

Kathleen was our day of coordinator and did a phenomenal job! From the moment we first spoke on the phone through to the event, she provided expert advise and insight, while being respectful of our design and decisions. Her organization and attention to detail were a huge comfort leading up to and on the day of the event. We highly recommend her for your wedding!

Hiring Kathleen to be our day-of-coordinator was by far one of the best decisions we made throughout our planning process. She made helpful recommendations when we first hired her more than a year before our wedding and then, given that we had hired her for day-of coordination, we started communicating in earnest about our wedding a few weeks before the big day. Kathleen coordinated set-up of our ENTIRE backyard reception (in a small-ish backyard, behind a small-ish house, on a busy road - NOT an easy job) while we were at our ceremony and the entire reception site (my parents' house) looked GORGEOUS and completely perfect when we arrived. The caterers, bartenders, and DJs had everything they needed and the party was in full-swing without us having to lift a finger. The entire night moved along smoothly with Kathleen's assistance and consistent communication. Kathleen even served as the day-of-coordinator for my husband's best man's wedding the weekend after OUR wedding and my husband and I joked that the sight of Kathleen walking purposefully with her iPad was comforting, even at someone else's wedding! I could not recommend Fancy Figs more highly.

We enjoyed working with Kathleen and are glad that we hired her. She reduced my stress greatly when we first met with her several weeks before the wedding, and even more so when we met her a second time, the day before the wedding. She did a fantastic job making sure everything went smoothly for our reception, and hiring her took a lot of the pressure off me, my partner, and our closest friends and family. Don’t hesitate to hire Kathleen if you are looking for a competent, professional coordinator!
