Kat Gaines Events

ievably amazing! 

rful that we hired her again for mine. Both times everything went smoothly without a hitch and looked absolutely gorgeous!

rompt communication made the entire process seamless. Kat’s calm and collected demeanor put us as ease every step of the way. Her experience and attention to detail, combined with the many ideas she brought to the table, elevated our wedding day. We can’t recommend Kat and her team highly enough.

sand times I was the most relaxed/stress free bride people had ever seen and that was 1000% thanks to Kat!

anted and it all came together seamlessly. She handled issues I had with the venue the week of which thank God because they were being completely unprofessional. Everything was perfect the day of (I wasn’t made aware of little hiccups which is exactly how it should be!) and I didn’t have to worry about anything. She was present the entire day and at the reception which put my mind at ease. I would absolutely recommend Kat!

parate wedding parties during the morning of to make sure that we were in locations at the right time. In preparation, she will conduct meetings with you to demonstrate some options of what the wedding venue layout will be with all of the tables, Ect. This allows for a deeper understanding of what the final layout of the venue will be, while saving all the magic for the big day! She will also provide an extensive checklist for you to make sure nothing goes over looked. I recommend putting your wedding vision in her hands! She is incredibly passionate in what she does and it shows through all of her planning and execution!

ack in the STL area a handful of times throughout the wedding planning process but Kat was very accommodating and willing to meet at the venue months in advance to walk through logistics. We chose a venue where everything needed to be brought in, so there were several additional vendors to coordinate with and everything went seamlessly on the day of the wedding thanks to Kat & Angela.

s unsure about anything, Kat was always there with support and helpful suggestions. She responded to emails quickly and even stepped in to assist with a vendor issue we encountered, which was a huge relief. On the day of the wedding, everything was absolutely perfect—perfect, perfect, perfect! The timing was seamless, and every detail came together beautifully. I also used her decor, which was stunning, and she took care of everything without me having to worry about a thing. If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond to make your big day amazing, Kat Gaines is the one! I cannot recommend her enough!

ela, were absolutely worth their weight in gold! I was able to enjoy every aspect of my daughter’s wedding day without worrying about anything. KGE helped make sure every single detail was taken care of and executed to perfection! I highly recommend using KGE to make your hopes and dreams a reality! Thank you, Kat and Angela, for a perfect, beautiful, and memorable day!

to answer any questions and offer guidance. She is super knowledgeable in the wedding industry and had worked with several of our wedding vendors before which helped make the planning process so much easier for us! She made sure to do multiple check-ins leading up to the wedding day via phone calls, texts & in person meetings to ensure our day would be as perfect as possible...and it was! Our wedding day/night was easily the best day of our lives and a huge reason behind that is because we hired KGE for day of coordination! On our wedding day, Kat and her assistant, Angela were there for everything. They knew when and how to command the room and got things done, while at the same time keeping the energy calm and fun. They were on top of anything and everything.....one of MANY examples that exceeded our expectations is when I asked my mom for a water bottle, KGE had one and was drying it off for me before my mom could even comprehend what I asked her. The day went so smoothly and seriously all we had to do was show up and enjoy the day and they took care of the rest, even post wedding when I had a minor issue with a vendor, Kat jumped in right away to resolve it so we could enjoy our honeymoon :) I am so happy we decided to work with KGE and would recommend her to anyone looking for wedding coordination and planning services!

are worth their weight in gold. The planning process was seamless, she answered any and all questions we had, and made the process stress free. She is professional and passionate about what she does and you can tell her years of experience pay off. Day of, I never had to freak out about anything because I know Kat and Victoria had it handled. All we had to do was show up and just enjoy the day and for that I cannot thank her enough. Kat went above and beyond our expectations and we cannot recommend hiring her enough. She is the best of the best.

l! Helped make the day stress free. Prior to the day, she was there for the stressful calls and always felt available to us and answered questions promptly. If only we could do it all again!! Thank you Kat :)

tion type questions the day of my wedding because Kat was there to handle any and all questions so I was able to truly enjoy my wedding day! She was also always available for texting and a few in person meetings throughout the planning process. I had one vendor close their store late into the planning process and Kat was able to go the extra mile and send me other recommendations to pick an alternative.

really made my wedding day possible. She worked with all of our vendors to stick to the timeline that made everything go off without a hitch, made sure our decor was all where it needed to be, made sure our wedding party was where it needed to be on time, and honestly made all of our stress and planning for two years worth it.

t was so nice to be able to enjoy the day and know that Kat was available anytime we needed. She guided us through the entire day and made sure that my husband and I had a few minutes to ourselves after the ceremony. I would recommend Kat and her team to anyone in need of a wedding coordinator!

al, nice, warm and friendly and just a joy to work with. She helped make the planning process so much easier and helped relieve a lot of stress I had as the bride on a budget. We booked for day of coordination and Kat even met with me a few times over the course of booking her and our wedding that was on 7/8/23 and she even made sure to come to all meeting with the vendors and she worked really hard to help capture my vision and put it on paper and then later made it happen in real life. For day of coordination we worked with Victoria and Jasmine and the girls did great! I was so please both of them made sure everything was running smoothly and got everything set up and ready without me having to lift a finger! At one point I was getting a little stressed out about pictures and Victoria talked with me asked what I wanted and talked to my photographer and got everything adjusted for me. That in itself just made me happy that Victoria was able to do that. With both of them I did not have a single worry and it was wonderful. Both my husband and I really got to enjoy the day and I think the best choice we made was working with Kat and her team. They did a spectacular job and I would work with them again in a heartbeat.

o her all your worries float away. She is an expert at her craft. She will handle the details and keep you on track through the whole process and the day of. She will save you so much money especially if you opt to use her decor inventory and her eye for design is impeccable! My groom and I truly have no idea how we would’ve done it without Kat and her team. She will be the greatest investment you can make for your wedding (and your sanity).

of the wedding which kept all of us calm!! She has lots of wedding planning experience and it shows. Great personality!

autiful weddings, making her confident and knowledgable. I hired her as a day-of-coordinator but she went above and beyond just that. She met with me multiple times during the planning process, gave me tips and suggestions, and even gave us access to her VAST decor inventory. There were times I wished for more consistent contact when my anxiety and stress were getting the best of me, but in truth, her composure and previously mentioned confidence brought me calm in the craziness. If you want a partner to help make your day a dream, Kat has your back, no doubt.

my parents said the next day was that "Kat was worth every single penny!" She not only helped me out leading up to the event but a true life saver setting up and tearing down.

bride that had everything perfectly envisioned for my wedding day, Kat helped me fill in all the gaps. From amazing vendor recommendations, to assistance with day-of details and access to a full decor inventory, Kat did not disappoint. We truly would not have been able to have the day we had without her, and would hire her again in a heartbeat!

out a year before my wedding but at the time we didn't think we needed a planner so we didn't book but as the day got closer I got more and more nervous and knew I needed at least a day of coordinator and I got SO LUCKY that Kat was still available. She didn't even hesitate she jumped right in and caught up with everything about 3 months out from the wedding and helped bring all those little details that matter together. My day was absolutely perfect and I know that wouldn't have happened without Kat so I just cannot thank her enough and am just so grateful to have had someone like her with me on wedding day because she was ready for any and everything and any need I had was taken care of. Just absolutely amazing you NEED her for your wedding day! THANK YOU KAT WE LOVE YOU!!!

e’s very professional and also very personable and relatable. She has great knowledge of the wedding world and also of the STL area, which was a huge help with finding and selecting our vendors as well our routes for transportation for ourselves and our guests. She comes prepared with her knowledge and experience as well as with her stock of decor which helped us to get the perfect set up for both our ceremony and reception. It was such a relief to not have to worry about anything but enjoying our special day and knowing Kat had everything under control for us. We can’t say enough how much of a pleasure it has been working with her!

your wedding truly the day of your dreams! From the very first time I talked to her (when she called me exactly on the hour at our scheduled time), I knew she was going to be indispensable. She met with me and my now-husband to discuss our reception decor, and within minutes, she had a design concept in mind. She made that concept a reality and created an incredibly detailed proposal that included ceremony and reception decor, as well as floral design inspiration. She coordinated with all our vendors, and she put us in touch with the florist that we eventually hired. On the day of our wedding, she made the day completely stress-free for us, our family, our wedding party, and our guests, and she and her team ran everything according to her meticulously prepared timeline. If I could give her ten stars, I would!!

g was completely seamless and Kat took care of everything. My parents didn’t have to do a thing! Throughout the wedding process, Kat sent me vendors that narrowed my search and was there to answer any specific questions that I had. I honestly don’t know how I would have ever planned a wedding without her! Also, depending on the package you get, you are able to use all of Kat’s decor. This was HUGE for me. I didn’t want to spend money on decor only to have to get rid of it immediately after. My wedding was quite big, and she handled all the questions and the concerns. She was always there to decrease my anxieties and help me with little details. I’m thankful for Kat and her friendship!

oked at us in our eyes and told us she would take care of everything. Yeah, well let me tell ya- she did everything.....and so much more. I really can't put into words just how grateful I am for Kat- She took the reigns like a BOSS all while becoming such a dear, genuine friend along the way. Ladies, she is a force to be reckoned with and she will make all of your wedding day dreams come true! DO NOT hesitate to hire her. She is a true icon. We were the luckiest to have her there on our wedding day and I truly mean that.

lity! Well worth every penny! She was on top of it all! I’d ask her about something and she’d already be working on the next few things down the road. She made planning our wedding stress free and truly took care of all the small details. My husband is quite the planner so I couldn’t be more thankful that helped clam my nerves so I could calm his. She made our wedding day/night one to remember!! Couldn’t recommend her enough ❤️

day-of, including several meetings, use of decor, communication with vendors, and the rehearsal dinner. Thank you Kat for helping to make this day one we will never forget!

You never saw an issue with anything, always a smile on your face 😊. Thank you Tish L #themannings

at. We ended up having to postpone the wedding a whole year because of COVID. She helped with all the vendors during that time and found a new caterer two months before the wedding after COVID issues with the original caterer. She even personally built a prop that we had seen and really liked. The day of the wedding I was able to spend the entire day with the wedding party. I did not step foot once in the reception hall until the actual dinner and it was beautiful. It was so nice and reassuring to know that I had no worries and stress on my daughter's wedding day and could just enjoy it. Kat literally took care of everything.

ears and made sure that we had absolutely nothing to worry about on our wedding day. I cannot recommend Kat enough. Hire her immediately. You will NOT regret it.

off our plate. Thank you Kat for making the wedding extra special! Heidi F

edding. She handled every little detail. I only had a theme for my wedding and had no idea how to execute it. Kat took my theme and manifested it into the most beautiful wedding. Better than anything I could have ever imagined. She is so easy to talk to, and actively listens to her brides and what their visions are for their day. Kat truly loves her job, and makes the entire process effortless. I would choose Kat over and over again, and I hope you do too.

little woman running around was great and really looked like she knew what she was doing (because she does!). Kat did everything we expected and more. She was a dream to have during our long distance planning. I would recommend her a million times for anyone wanting to do an event.

nd stress free. 10/10 would recommend!!

t of every little detail and made my wedding absolutely perfect! My mom was impressed that I wasn't a "bridezilla" or nervous at all the morning of, but I knew that everything was being taken care of so I could just relax and enjoy every part of my special day! Thank you, Kat, for helping make my day everything I had dreamed of!❤️

y. She allowed me and my groom to breathe and take everything in on our wedding day because we knew any issue, problem, or question was being solved by Kat. If you are on the fence about a wedding planner, choose Kat, she is worth every ounce of peace on your wedding day! Thanks again Kat!!

ery detail. Fast forward to COVID, we completely moved my entire wedding reception 5 weeks prior to my wedding. She was so incredible with getting everything figured out and keeping the stress off me. She transformed my parents yard into the literal wedding of my dreams. Every detail was beyond perfect and she made the day completely stress free for me. I can't recommend Kat enough for your wedding coordinator.
