Kate & Company Arkansas

My wife and I couldn't more highly recommend Elizabeth and the rest of the Kate & Company team! She was an absolute lifesaver throughout the entire process and always went above and beyond to ensure that my wife and I were getting the wedding we envisioned. Not only is Elizabeth a joy to work with but she also really knows her stuff and does a phenomenal job of working with couples on getting the best possible vendors/options. We originally weren't sure if we wanted to go with a wedding coordinator due to the cost but Elizabeth easily saved us as much as she cost and we would not have been able to do this without her! She knows the best prices and best options for local vendors and will maximize your budget! She took all of the bumps in the road and problems that arose in stride and fixed multiple problems that we ran into the week of the wedding. And she did it all with a positive attitude that reassured us that everything would work out great. She cares about the people that she works with and the weekly calls with her were always the highlight of the wedding planning process for us. We couldn't more highly recommend Kate & Co and if you're considering whether or not you should get a wedding coordinator my advice would be to do it! It would've been a nightmare and more expensive trying to do this on our own. Thank you Elizabeth and Kate & Co for such a great experience! It truly was a pleasure working with y'all

If you're considering hiring Kate and Company, just do it. Elizabeth was a gem, angel, friend and therapist wrapped in a wedding planner. I joked that Jennifer Lopez had nothing on her in the move, The Wedding Planner. Not only was she patient with allllll of my many questions but she had lovely suggestions and handled all of the craziness like a pro. Because of her, I actually got to enjoy my big day and let go of all the anxiety besides the normal butterflies before walking down the aisle- haha. My favorite line the whole weekend was, " I don't know, ask Elizabeth." This company is kind and genuinely cares that your special day is everything you've ever dreamed. Worth every penny. My only regret is not purchasing the larger wedding package! :) Cheers!

Elizabeth and her team were simply top notch! I wouldn't do it any other way. For my only daughters wedding I thought I'd love to be hands on, however being 2 states away made that difficult. Kate & Co. enabled us to have a stress free wedding from the first day we sat down with Elizabeth to the post wedding details! Her team managed everything with calm efficiency, including getting muddy spots off the brides hem and train 45 minutes before the wedding was to start! It was the best money spent and she stretched our budget so nicely, passing along discounts and cost cutting ideas. Thank you so much!

Elizabeth is INCREDIBLE. It's hard to put into words how grateful we were for her help before/during/after our wedding day. Elizabeth made it easy to sit back and enjoy the process of planning a wedding, and had such great ideas to help our general vision for our wedding come to fruition. The most impressive and helpful thing about Elizabeth was how well she was able to guide us in using our budget. It was so helpful to have an honest opinion about where it's worthwhile to spend money and where to pull back and to see options of ways to use our budget in ways I never would have thought were possible! We had a perfectly average wedding budget and the cost may seem high, but as my mom said all our engagement, "Elizabeth is worth her weight in gold!!"

I cannot thank Kate & Co enough for making my wishful-thinking dreams a reality. Not only was the day beautiful & magical but the entire team was amazing to work with. I mean you guys brought dozens of umbrellas because it was raining during pictures - AMAZING! Our wedding was an amazing day that hit our dream of beautiful and religious, but also a party! Thank you again!

Kate & Co. was amazing! I can’t say enough good things about this planning service. Elizabeth was so helpful the entire engagement time and leading up to the wedding day! She went above and beyond to make sure my fiancé and I didn’t lift a finger throughout the entire experience. We’re definitely going to recommend her and her team to anyone getting married soon!

From a photographer’s perspective Elizabeth and her team managed the wedding day seamlessly. They stayed on schedule while simultaneously taking real life factors into account when needed. They were calm, professional, and on point. Wonderful to work with!

I was the type of bride who thought I could handle the planning aspect of the wedding, but had no idea what I wanted as far as décor and I chose the Kate & Company full planning package because I really wanted help on the design. I am so lucky that full planning came with the design because I had no clue what I was getting myself into! Wedding planning is literally a full time job! There are so many people to communicate with and coordinate – there is no way I could’ve ever done this without Kate & Company. They boiled down all of the options into easy to make decisions and handled everything. As far as design goes, I cannot gush enough!!! How Kate & Company learned so much about me and my husband in their questionnaire, I will never know, but they created the absolutely perfect design for us! The décor was GORGEOUS, while also including small details that reflected our personality and lives. I am so grateful for all the work Kate & Company did for me! Not only did they help make my wedding day perfect, they also became great friends of ours!

I LOVE KATE & COMPANY! I was the maid of honor for a Kate & Company wedding this past September for the first time. I had heard that being a MOH was almost as stressful as being the bride because of all the additional responsibilities, however with Kate & Co (Elizabeth, Jensen & Courtney) it wasn’t stressful for me or the bride!!! Two weeks prior the wedding, Elizabeth sent out a complete timeline to all of the family & bridal party. That eliminated so many questions everyone had! From that point forward, I had nothing to worry about. Anything I forgot or had to do, I could ask Kate & Company about. On the day of, we didn’t have to set anything up, and even more importantly – CLEAN ANYTHING UP! I felt spoilt because nothing kills the night like having to clean up after a great party. 10/10 would recommend Kate & Company to anyone who wants a stress-free bridal party & wedding!

Kate and Company was 100% worth the investment. I was skeptical that my daughter needed a wedding planner when she first got Kate and Co, but they have proven their worth in tenfold. My husband and I were able to enjoy every part of the wedding because we knew they were handling it. Hiring Kate and Co is truly an investment in enjoying the wedding day.

I am a DJ that regularly works with Kate & Co. Every single event that I have done with them has been flawless. So often when couples don’t hire a wedding planner, the responsibilities of the wedding planner fall on me – and trust me you don’t want that! I am great at emceeing and dj-ing but please don’t rely on me to know how long it’s going to take your guests to eat! Kate & Co is great – you won’t regret booking them because your party with go so much more smoothly.

I hired Kate & company to plan my parent’s anniversary party. I live out of town and honestly did not want to deal with all of the details and attention that this party would require. I pretty much gave Elizabeth full reign of the event from the day I first called her! She captured my parents’ personalities, styles and relationship in the decorations. There were sweet details like pictures of them throughout their relationship as placemats and the meal that they had on their first date as the dinner. On the day of the party, I was stress-free. The party was so nice that my guests joked that I should go into party planning! I politely informed them that this party had nothing to do with me, and everything to do with the professionalism and creativity of the Kate & Co gang!!! Thank you for making it such a great night!!!

We knew as soon as we got engaged that we wanted a Kate & Co wedding - and we are still so happy with that decision! Their design for our wedding was everything I wanted, but couldn't put into words. Kate & Co was so easy to work with and available for any question we had - no matter how small. Elizabeth and her team made us feel comfortable and relaxed while preparing for one of the biggest days of our lives, allowing us to truly absorb and appreciate our wedding!

Thank you so so much for everything you did for our wedding. Everything was perfect, looked amazing and was just a dream. Thank you for everything you have done for me and Mark!

Kate & Co ensured that my wedding ran perfectly! Elizabeth Gorman, my personal planner, was amazing! So patient, kind, organized, she is the best!

Kate&Company just completed my daughter's wedding, their first in the Fort Smith, AR market. Elizabeth Gorman and her assistant Jensen Hunt did an outstanding job for a very large event with over 400 guests. The brought great professionalism and experience to the job. The only thing I plan to differently with subsequent family weddings is to call them immediately after the engagement is announced. I definitely will ask for the same team!

If you want a fabulous, stress-free wedding, hire Kate & Company to plan it for you! I live in Dallas and decided to do a destination wedding in Eureka Springs, AR (highly recommend), but I knew I needed a local wedding planner to pull it off--Elizabeth Gorman with Kate & Company did just that and more! I'm a big picture person, and all I had to do was explain the vision and feeling of the day to Elizabeth and she made it come to life (and trust me when I say this was no easy task). I didn't have to worry about tracking down a vendor for table linens, or how tables should be arranged, or when I needed to send out invitations. She handled everything from vendor coordination to tracking RSVPs, and used this great software platform that I could log into at any time to see our progress. I received so many compliments from my bridal party that this was the most laid-back wedding they had ever been a part of, and during our dance my dad said Elizabeth was worth every penny! Elizabeth is a perfectionist, but also has a calm and steady demeanor and handles high-stress situations with ease. Instead of running a million errands or talking to vendors in the days leading up to the wedding, I enjoyed spending time with my family and friends and relaxing with my husband-to-be, which was the best wedding gift of all. Thank you, Elizabeth, for bringing our fairy tale wedding to life!

10 stars!! Jill and Allie were a dream to work with from start to finish. They went above and beyond, we could not have planned the wedding without them! They were so on top of communicating to our vendors and making sure we had every detail planned out. There was never a "no we can't do that" it was always "let's see how we can make that work", for example, we really wanted real candle sticks for the tables at dinner and several vendors we were working with only had the fake candle sticks- Jill and Allie found us a different vendor to get the real candle sticks for the day and made that possible! Also, the table seating and guest list organization with the software they used made it so easy to seat people etc, I don't know how we would've done it without them! The day of our wedding went so smoothly, our seasoned groomsmen and bridesmaids even commented on how smooth and drama free the day went. As the bride and groom, it was so nice to just enjoy the day and not have to worry about anything ever. They are true experts in what they do and a JOY to work with!! Also their office is really really cute :)

I would recommend using Kate and Company without a doubt. We only used them for the month before the wedding and day of package. However, looking back I would have wanted them from the very beginning of planning. Loren was able to help guide my decisions, give her own input, and also keep us on track and organized with what our next steps were during this process. We were able to email and talk on the phone constantly. She answered every question with expertise and even thought of things that we didn't think of. She also was able to help us find vendors for programs and escort cards (which we hadn't thought of yet). Loren and her team took care of everything on our wedding day. There was not one thing that I stressed about. From making sure vendors were prompt and timelines were smooth to even having the needle and thread for when my strap on my dress broke. Loren and her team were so professional and helpful to myself, my husband, the wedding party, family, and guests. If you are looking for someone who truly cares about helping make your day as perfect as possible, is organized, has wonderful ideas, and is an overall lovely person- Loren at Kate and Company is the route the go. I was 100% happy and appreciative with everything they did for us. We love them (and Loren)!

I can't say enough about Elizabeth Gorman! Trusting Kate & Co with my big day was hands down the best decision I made throughout the wedding planning process. With my job being extremely demanding and no family locally in Northwest Arkansas, I was really looking for someone to help plan my wedding (and by help , I mean do it for me :) haha.) The wedding day was amazing! It was more than I could have ever dreamed of, and it was all due to Elizabeth and her team. There aren't enough words to express my gratitude. You guys are amazing!

My husband and I hired Ali as a day of wedding planner for our June 3rd wedding. She was wonderful!! Ali and her team addressed everything we discussed and made some great suggestions to help align all the events we had planned for the big day. Ali made herself available whenever I needed her and was proactive in getting ahead of obstacles.

We worked with Maureen and Loren for our 2 year long engagement. Living in Ohio and getting married in St. Louis, we knew we needed a wedding planner and we knew we wanted Kate and Co. Maureen and Loren completely blew our expectations out of the water. They were absolutely fantastic. From the planning, to the day of, we couldn't have asked for anything better. Any little thing, they took care of before we even would find out about it. They made our day/weekend so special and we are so grateful for them. I joked with my husband that I wish we had another big event to plan so we could hang out with Maureen and Loren more. They weren't just wedding planners, they became our friends and we were so lucky to have them! I can guarantee that if you choose Kate and Co you will feel the exact same way. Make sure you request Maureen and Loren too because I don't know how anyone could be better than them!

From the beginning of the wedding planning process right until the very end of my wedding day, I felt completely relaxed and taken care of by Kate, Kimmy, and the rest of the wonderful people at Kate & Company. Their ability to take the time to really listen to our every wish and made our dreams come true. They helped us navigate through the overwhelming and confusing world of vendors and decisions and helped us make sense of everything. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone who is looking for a wedding planner who truly cares for their bride and groom, listens to their every idea and/or concern, and can create the most perfect wedding day. We loved, loved, loved our experience with Kate & Company!

Beyond words! We worked with Maureen and Loren throughout our planning process and what utmost professionals they are: detailed, patient, thorough, very organized and brought our fairytale dream wedding to life! They helped coordinate all the vendors (esp helpful since we both are out of town), gave us small assignments along the way so that we would not get stressed or overwhelmed, arranged all the meetings with vendors for when I was in town to try and meet with everyone as efficiently as possible. In addition, for our all Croatian wedding, they went above and beyond to help incorporate our culture into our wedding day and even learned some Croatian along the way! From the programs, dance floor decal, and welcome boxes for out of town guests--all these little touches really meant a lot to us, our families as well as our guests! Kate&Co truly is talented and we would not have been able to execute it without their assistance. Especially that last day, we forgot to purchase some items but they told us not to worry and took care of it, no questions asked. Never thought a stress free wedding existed, but because of them and their services, I now know that they do, as we had the pleasure of experiencing just that! We were able to focus on our special day, our bridal party, and families/friends--such an invaluable gift! I could sing their praises over and over, would recommend Kate & Co to EVERYONE planning on getting married--it more than pays for itself!

My sister used Ali to plan her wedding this past March and she was absolutely wonderful. We are a rambunctious bunch and they handled us with grace and oh so much patience! Anything we forgot, broke, or just wanted, Ali and her team had already in a bag waiting for us to ask for it. They were kind, but firm with our schedule and keeping us organized. They made my sister's special day truly the best day of her life and I really can't thank them enough. From a bridesmaids standpoint, Kate & Company is full of angels that follow you around with dental floss, bandaids, and happiness. I want Ali to be my life planner.

Who wants to worry about orchestrating vendors, matching table linens, or clean-up during wedding week?? As the bride, I wanted to fully experience the event rather than work it. A few months before the wedding, Jill Perez with Kate and Company presented my family with a developed and extensive schedule that covered all details of wedding week – from event setup to transportation to wedding day snacks for the bridal party. This attention to detail removed any anxiety surrounding the details that often consume a wedding; allowing my family to focus on what is truly important: being together and celebrating the wedding. Looking back on wedding day, I am most surprised by the peaceful nature of the day. After watching too many romantic comedies, I expected at least one family melt down, forgotten bouquets, a tardy limo driver and at least one tipsy groomsmen. Under Jill’s watchful eye, none of this happened. The day proceeded without a noticeable hitch so that this type of theatrics did not consume the day. This kept all focus and attention on the beautiful mass, thoughtful toasts, delicious cake, and animated dance party. Jill's thoughtfulness, calm demeanor, and constant cheerfulness created a relaxing, joyful, and truly unforgettable event. I would recommend her to anyone.

Absolutely Brilliant! Jill Perez and her team from Kate and Company were beyond expectations. Jill is a true professional that managed us through our entire weekend from the Rehearsal Dinner to the sendoff at the end our daughter’s wedding. It was truly amazing! Jill’s calm and poised demeanor, attention to detail and beautiful and refined taste created visually stunning events that were full of fun and happiness for our guests, family and all the parents. As the mother of the bride, it was such a gift to be present in the Joy of the day and know we were blessed with such a wonderful and professional wedding planner.

The uncertainty of knowing the proper etiquette and wedding morales led me to finding a wedding planner. The personal interactions with Kate & Co. employees and their reported focus on details led to me to hiring them. The continuous genuine interactions with Maureen and Loren, prompt communications, and truly creative wedding ideas led me to trusting them. After a short period of time and few in vivo meetings, Maureen knew who I was, and was able to understand me completely. Finally, their ability to integrate my every need and thought into their design process, with the aid of their lovely and dynamic team, in a timely manner, led me to wishing they would always be there to plan everything. My experience with Kate & Co., as a bride, was perfection. I felt supported emotionally, professionally, and even at times, physically. The large void felt after the planning of a large event was felt on my part, but more for the loss of two wonderful women and the support of a well-run company. Thank you Maureen and Loren and I will cherish the memory of this process.

For the following reasons, we are so happy we hired Kate & Company: · The entire wedding planning process can be complex and stressful. Your team walked us carefully through the process and eased, at least Jon and my stress, before and during the wedding. · Your attention to detail and organized approach did not go unnoticed · Your team exhibited 3 Ps – professional, prepared (loved your emergency kits) and extremely patient (especially the day of the wedding) · We could tell you choose carefully those that are on the Kate & Company team as they all our positive and helpful. Your team’s calming approach kept us all calm. · Jon and I were able to enjoy this special day knowing that you guys were focused on the execution. In the end, Sara and Chris’ wedding surpassed our wildest imagination. I credit Sara’s vision coupled with your team’s execution expertise for making this dream a reality. Maureen, Loren and team, I want to sincerely thank you for all of your hard work in making this day so memorable. The Mother of the Bride

So amazing! I cannot imagine planning my wedding without the girls at Kate & co, specifically Maureen and Loren!! Every tiny detail was covered and everything was beautifully executed. These girls were so helpful and one step ahead at all times making sure everything was planned perfectly and communicated directly with my vendors through out the entire process, especially the wedding day and week leading up to. Absolutely anything I needed help with they were there no matter how small or large the task even at a moments notice. Fantastic!!notice,notice.noticenoticeNOnotice.Overafantastic

Well let me start by writing that I absolutely LOVE KATE & CO! I had the opportunity of working with Jill and Ali, hands down by far the BEST! They created our dream wedding and made our special day an unforgettable one. They are beyond creative and so eager to please, and to top it off I had so much fun. I trusted everything that they said and did not question a beat. If you are looking to have the most memorable wedding beyond your wildest dreams, Kate & Company, Jill and Ali are your go to ladies. The only problem is that after the wedding is over, you do not get to meet with them on a regular basis anymore. So now I just have to hire them for another event because I miss just hanging with them because they are that AWESOME! Thank you Jill and Ali for making our dream wedding come true! WE absolutely love and adore you both! We can not express our gratitude enough.

I cannot say enough about Jill Perez and Ali Margherio at Kate & Co. I asked for only one thing, and that was jaw - dropping. That's what I wanted when you walked into the reception, and they not only delivered but delivered beyond my wildest imagination. The other thing that was very important to me as I had a broken foot and unable to drive I needed them to do absolutely everything to preview options and then bring me choices. They did it without any hesitation and always had a smile. Jill and Ali are positive, kind and fastidious! I can't think of one thing that I would change. I have never worked with a wedding planner before, so forming a partnership with them was critical to the success of our big wedding. They make things happen. They thought of details I never would have. How many times do you get thank you notes from a third of your guests thanking you for inviting them to your wedding? We continue to receive thank you notes of appreciation for including them in our only daughters wedding. Kate & Company is the absolute star of wedding planners in St. Louis. Jill and Ali are phenomenal!

Kate and her crew are literally the most amazing individuals on this planet. They are organized, efficient, helpful, knowledgeable, and so detail-oriented. They made our day the most perfect it could possibly be, and I cannot thank them enough for all of the wonderful things they did for us! I was most concerned about our families and friends being stressed for the days up to, during, and after the wedding, but Kate and Co (Maureen, Loren, Stephanie, Robert, and, of course, Kate) made our experience so relaxing and fun! All of our friends and family were absolutely blown away at all of the details that Kate & Co planned. Since my husband and I got married in a non-denominational space, we had to hire an officiant. But, we really wanted a close friend of ours to officiate the wedding. Since he had never done a wedding before I was nervous that we wouldn't have enough direction for the ceremony; however, Kate took charge at the rehearsal and provided everyone with such a clear picture about how things should flow, and it turned out perfect! If you are even considering a wedding planner, you need to hire these beautiful people! You will seriously be so relieved!

Even before we got engaged, my husband and I knew we wanted Kate & Co. to be our wedding planners, and it was the best decision we made throughout the entire process. We worked with Maureen and Loren, who could not have been more professional, courteous, fun, engaged, and all-around wonderful people. From the first day, they truly wanted to know what we wanted for our special day and worked tirelessly to make that happen. We knew that we could call them for any question, concern, or anything else that came to mind. As soon as we asked for them to look into something, it was done. They anticipated our wants and questions before we even had a chance to think of them. A couple of times we changed our minds about something (i.e. linen or paper goods) at the last minute and they rolled with it. They never told us we couldn't have anything, they worked with the vendors to give us as much time as we needed, and advocated for us in every instance. Even when we weren't sure if we wanted a videographer, for example, they still took the time to research options, set up meetings, sat in on those meetings, and walked us through the process. We never felt pressure to hire anyone, or choose anything that wasn't completely what we wanted. They offered their professional opinion when we needed it, but mostly talked us through aspects and allowed us to decide for ourselves. Maureen and Loren were truly our right-hand women for a year and a half. When it came time for the wedding, it was perfect. Every second of it was perfect. Maureen, Loren, and other members of the Kate & Co. family were on hand to make sure we were happy and satisfied with everything. We knew the day would go off perfectly, but it was better than we ever imagined. We are the only people I know who did not have a single thing go wrong during their wedding. For example, at one point a groomsmen didn't have a bowtie, but Maureen magically (and I mean magically) made one appear within minutes. They took care of every member of the wedding party, and we have all since started the joke that when something does not go perfectly in everyday situations someone offers to call Maureen or Loren. They took care of everything like true professionals and as people who genuinely cared about us and our families. The whole night was timed perfectly, and we had the best night. My husband and I could focus on each other, our friends, and our families because we knew every other aspect was taken care of. They say they will pull off the wedding of your dreams seamlessly, and they absolutely deliver without a doubt. Our wedding was unique, classy, and one of the best parties we have ever been to, and we owe it solely to Maureen and Loren. I cannot express enough how amazing this team is, how much we are going to miss them being in our lives regularly, and how happy we are that they made our big day better than anything we could have imagined.

I can't say enough good things about Kate and Co!!! Maureen and Loren got to know me and my husband-what we liked, what we didn't like, nitty gritty details, how obsessed we are over our dog(they found someone who could make cookies that look like our dog!!!), family dynamics etc etc. They literally did everything and made our big day worry free for myself, my husband, our families, and the bridal party. I can't recommend them enough!!!!

Kate & Co was an absolute blessing! We had no idea where to begin with wedding planning and timing.... not to mention we were a destination wedding. They made everything effortless, relieved all stress and made every dream we had for our day a reality. Our story was captured in every little detail - things we would never have conceived without Kate & Co. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone that is planning a wedding no matter where your wedding location may be. I cannot thank you enough, Kate, Kimmy and Francesca for making our wedding day beautiful, memorable and fun! I'm only sad the planning is over because we won't get to work with y'all for sometime...

We hired Elizabeth from Kate & Company for my daughter's wedding in early August. She and her team were a lifesaver! Not only were they incredibly professional, they took all the stress off of our plate. My daughter and son-in-law were unable to meet with The Kate and Co team also went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect and to ensure that my husband and I were enjoying ourselves. If you are looking for a perfect and stress-free wedding day, you absolutely MUST hire Kate and Co! Knowing what I know now - I would've paid triple!

How do you thank someone for so expertly bringing your dream wedding to life? There are not enough words for how incredibly grateful we are to Kate & Co., particularly for their attention to detail in our year-long wedding planning process. My husband and I believe this was, by far, the smartest choice we could've ever made. Kate (and Kimmy, from the Kate & Co. team) were thoughtful, organized and calm at every step of the way, allowing us to feel confident that our vision for our big day would come to fruition. We loved that Kate & Co. was so well-networked (and well-regarded), that they had our backs and found us cost-savings in multiple areas, and were always responsive when we (or our families) needed them. This was particularly important to us as we planned a 230-person, St. Louis wedding while living in the Chicago area. There was never a question too big or too small and it was consistently clear that the Kate & Co. team was on top of our timeline - both in the many months leading up to the wedding and then during the wedding weekend itself. We cannot imagine our big day without them, and are so, SO glad we chose to work with them. We HIGHLY recommend the Kate & Co. team - not only are they great wedding planners, they are great people, with whom we look forward to maintaining a lifelong friendship henceforth.

Kate & Co rocked our January wedding with positivity, flexibility, creativity, hard work, kindness and care. Weddings are touchy because they deal a lot with two things - family and money! Kate and crew handled these topics with grace and lots of experience. I loved working with them & can't wait to do another event with them someday! Cheers to Kate, Kimmy, Ali, Lynn & crew!

Elegant and Fun. That's what I wanted, and that's what I got. My mom wanted "jaw-dropping," and she got that. Jill and Ali were fantastic to work with and kept things on track the whole way. Kate & Company managed to take the vision we described and completely made it real through the design process, selecting vendors (I had already picked a few out and made a few changes based on their recommendations) and and the execution during the actual wedding day. There were a few things that we agreed to change up last minute based on the situation and they were great at adapting and making recommendations. We had a full wedding weekend from a Friday night welcome party, Saturday activities, wedding and reception and then brunch, and they kept everything so organized and well planned. If we had a request to do something a particular way, they were totally flexible and made every effort to make my day easy for me and perfect. The end result was an amazing day, and a weekend that people can't stop talking about. Kate & Company delivers - my day was magical.

We had such a wonderful experience working with Kate & Company. Initially, I didn’t think I needed a wedding planner, but I was shocked at how helpful and important it became. Francesca is a gem-she walked us through tough situations and helped us with even the smallest of details (which far exceeded her job description). Planning a wedding from afar, she went above and beyond, helping my mom with logistics and even went as far as providing advice for my maids of honor. Hiring Kate and Company was without a doubt one of the best decisions we made in the planning process. Their incredibly detailed timelines and commitment to service is truly exceptional and unique in the St. Louis area.

We had such a wonderful experience working with Kate&Co. Maureen was a fabulous resource throughout the wedding planning process and was extremely helpful and professional. With the help of Loren & Katie, our wedding was a great success and my husband & I enjoyed every moment! Maureen was so attentive, but also seemed to blend in seemlessly at the reception. Whenever we needed anything (for example, dental floss after the main course), she was on top of it without even asking :-). Her attention to detail was excellent, and our wedding party was quite impressed with extensive and down-to-the-minute timeline. Maureen & her colleagues established good report with all of our vendors, who also appreciated her organization and professionalism. My husband and I would highly recommend using Kate&Co., they made our special day even more memorable!

Only 5 stars? I give Kate & Company a sky full. What a wonderful experience. Maureen and her crew were a delight to work with and they made the day extra special. My daughter, daughter-in-law, husband, and I, were able to really be present on the big day. We were stressing about all the details when we hired Maureen for the day of. Best thing we did. When we met with Maureen before the event, she put together a timeline for things we hadn't even thought about. I can't say enough good things about Maureen, her team, and Kate & Company. We put our trust in them and they didn't disappoint. I can't thank them enough for making our special day perfect. Do yourself a favor and hire Kate & Company. You'll be glad you did.

Deciding to hire Kate & Co. as our wedding planner was the very first decision I made after getting engaged. I’ve followed them on social media for years and have always been amazed by the amazing events that they put together. I could not have been happier with everything Maureen (our lead coordinator), Moira (project manager) and the rest of her team made possible for us! They completely understood our vision and made it a reality. I was absolutely blown away by our wedding ceremony and reception. It was exactly what we had envisioned for our special day. They thought of every little thing and had wonderful suggestions for things to add special touches to make our wedding unique. Not only did Maureen, Moira and the rest of Kate & Co. execute a flawless design, they made sure everything ran smoothly and on time. Knowing that they were behind the scenes taking care of everything made it possible for my fiancé, myself, our families and our wedding party to relax and enjoy the day. I cannot say enough about how grateful and appreciative I am to Kate & Co. for making our wedding day everything we imagined and more. I could not have pulled it off without them! Thank you!

Incredible Kansas City Wedding!!! I do not think I have adequate words to express my gratitude towards the Kate & Company team who executed our wedding. I was able to truly enjoy our special day because Kate Turner, Jill Perez and the rest of the team present on our day made everything stress free and flawless. The team is so passionate about what they do an they make you feel as though your wedding is the most important wedding ever. They think of everything and make sure your day is everything you wanted and more. I will always be so grateful to Kate & Company for all that they did to help make our wedding day the best day of our lives.

Kate & Company easily and beautifully handled our wedding held in Kansas City! After our wedding was over, I literally did not have words for the gratitude my husband and I had and continue to have for Kate & Company! Kate Turner, Jill Perez and many team members were amazing to work with, lovely individuals, took on our wedding as if it was the most important wedding ever, made it very special, organized, beautiful, stress free and absolutely thought of everything! My husband and I both stated that we would not have been able to enjoy our special event nearly as much if we had not had the help from Kate & Company. More importantly, our daughter, the bride was so happy and without stress for her special day because of Kate & Company's execution of the wedding and reception. Forever grateful!

We worked directly with Kimmy from Kate & Company as our personal wedding planner, and we cannot say enough about how amazing she was! From beginning to end, Kimmy helped us with various details for the wedding, and provided us with excellent vendor recommendations based on our wedding budget. She was always professional and energetic, and was able to assist us in areas we needed the most. She helped us as we met with vendors, and provided to-do lists throughout the process. We loved the design ideas she provided for the theme of our reception, as well as making sure our families didn't have to worry about anything on our big day! We would HIGHLY recommend Kimmy and the wonderful ladies of Kate & Co to any wedding couple!

Kate & Company is nothing short of fabulous. They truly helped make my dream wedding a reality. During the planning process, Kate & Company would provide my husband and I with a variety of ideas/ wedding suggestions. Once we made a decision on that detail/suggestion, Kate & Company took care of it- leaving us stress free!

Maureen was my day of coordinator for my wedding. I LOVED her. She and I instantly clicked and she helped ease all of my worries and answered all of my questions. She and her team had my wedding day going off without a hitch (as far as I know) and even iced our drinks for the bus, made sure the girls and I had food while we were getting ready and had sandwiches on the bus for us between the wedding and the reception! I would recommend them hands down. Everything that they do is amazing!!!

The amazing people at Kate and Co thought of everything, and more. Everyone their was super-sweet to us, and left no detail unattended. These wonderful ladies really brought our vision to life - and then some. The wedding day was worry-free as Kate and Co handled every detail behind the scenes from start to finish. Our wedding day was hot, so they got our vendor to put out lots of water for everyone. When the hotel made an error the night before, our planner came straight-away and sorted it out for us, and ended up getting us complimentary rooms and drinks! These ladies were so nice and felt like family when we met with them, were super-organized and ran everything smoothly, and were the unsung heroines of our wedding weekend.

I cannot say enough about every single person at Kate & Company! Tyler and I came to them with a bunch of ideas and they put all our jumbled thoughts together to make our wedding PERFECT! We worked directly with Jill and Moira. Jill was a perfect match for us. She was warm, calm, relaxed and ready to make whatever we needed work. Moira was such a great help, she was always prepared with an answer to questions and REALLY GOOD AT MATH! We ran into a few bumps with our venue and Kate took it upon herself with Jill to meet directly with the upper management of our venue to get everything organized and perfect for our day. We could not have done this wedding without Jill and Moira and everyone at Kate & Co. They are the real deal in every way!!!

It would be difficult to replicate the team of Jill Perez and Moira Zwilling. My daughter was engaged in June of 2014. As the word spread of Becky’s engagement the first piece of advice from everyone was “hire a wedding planner”. My niece was married in December of 2013 and from her own wedding experience highly recommended Kate & Co. I still remember our first meeting with Jill Perez. She was professional, detail oriented, knowledgeable and very personable. She answered all of my questions and some that I should have asked. Jill was willing and did get involved in every aspect of the planning, from the selection of the reception venue, to recommendations on bands, limousine service, the wedding cake and the florist. She was also involved in table mock ups, food tasting and room décor. Jill was also always there to answer etiquette questions from the invitations to the processional at the ceremony. Always only a phone call or email away, Jill was very responsive to any questions or inquiries throughout the entire process. When Jill found out she was expecting her third child in September, she was quick to pick up the phone and let me know and to introduce me to Moira Zwilling who would be working alongside Jill and would be our main coordinator the day of the wedding. Moira immediately was engrossed in our wedding planning, from our very first meeting I knew that she was completely updated on our wedding and what was still to be done. My first impression of Moira was similar to my first meeting with Jill, she too was very professional, detailed oriented, knowledgeable and personable. I spent more time with Moira the last three weeks leading up to the wedding than I did the entire year before, or at least it seemed like it. Moira was always available and remained calm, even when I did not. So flash forward to September 26, 2015….my daughter’s wedding was on a beautiful day, at a beautiful church and then we hosted a fabulous party! Moira and team were with us all day to make sure everything went smoothly. I am happy to report it did….thanks to Moira Zwilling and team at Kate & Co. So from the advice I first received of "hire a wedding planner", I will conclude with "hire Kate & Co. as your wedding planner". Rose L.

I utilized Kate & Co. for 'Day-of' wedding services. Jill Perez was my lead coordinator with Moira Zwilling her right-hand. Jill and I immediately bonded, and I felt so lucky to work with her. The entire Kate & Co. family welcomed us and took great care of us from the beginning. Jill and Moira were amazing assets during the wedding planning process. They had ideas and solutions at every turn. From vendor recommendations to offering their own rentals, Kate & Co. was a valuable asset that I could not have done without. They were an amazing sounding board for bouncing ideas, and they truly helped make my dreams a reality. Because of their execution, I was able to actually enjoy every second of my wedding day and focus on my groom, family and friends. What could be better or more important!? Thank you Jill and Moira!

We could not have made a better decision for our wedding than to use Kate & Co services! Living out of town, I was stressed at the thought of where and how to start my wedding planning. I felt so comfortable from the moment I spoke with Jill and Moira and knew not only would my stresses be put at ease, but their creativity and passion matched my thoughts and hopes for my wedding. The nearly year long process was a dream for me. Jill and Moira made out of town planning so easy and I trusted them completely with everything. I loved every vendor they suggested and it felt so great to know they would be the liaison, not just in the planning but on my wedding day as well. My husband, our families, and myself just got to enjoy the day and did not have to worry about anything. Their aesthetic and creative ideas were more perfect than I could have imagined and they happily incorporated my ideas as well into the day. I don't know what I would have done without them! Thank you!!

Choosing Kate & Company was the first and best wedding decision we could have made. They were able to design and execute the dream wedding we always imagined. Our flawless wedding would not have been possible without the ladies at Kate & Company, their attention to detail, and their ability to keep everything organized and on track! I highly recommend Kate & Company to help make your wedding dreams come true!
