Katie Gibbons Event Planning & Coordinating

ng vendors in the time of covid. Katie helped us tackle selecting each vendor, honing our vision and sticking within our budget. For example, she knew that we needed to get hair/make up vendors selected earlier than usual as they were booking up quickly. It was a huge game changer to have her knowledge guide us through the planning process. Katie is incredibly organized, thoughtful, super sweet! I appreciated her ability to be direct when fielding questions from vendors or with family/guests that could ruffle some feathers. Immediately prior to the wedding she confirmed with all of our vendors and clarified last minute details (ex. time of arrival, where to go at the venue, what utensils for cake cutting, etc.). On the wedding day she was even more crucial than I could have imagined! Knowing she knew exactly how things were to be set up and was going over it all allowed us to relax and truly enjoy the day we spent so long dreaming of. I am so grateful we were able to work with Katie and get to know her! Ultimately, I HIGHLY recommend Katie :)

xactly how to calm your nerves or answer your questions in a way that takes away all stress you have. There is also something to be said about a coordinator who really feels like your best friend, cheerleader, and emotional support on your day while getting the job done flawlessly. My only regret is we didn’t get to spend more time with her as she was busting her butt behind the scenes! Katie was quick with emails, reached out multiple times in the whole year leading up to the day, and always had the best attitude. Our wedding day was as smooth as possible thanks to Katie! So, so thankful for this lady!

pieces. I am most appreciative of Katie's ability to stay cheerful - and keep me smiling - in the moments where stress and heightened emotions threatened my sanity. She was incredibly diplomatic and handled all of the ups and downs with calm, competence, and grace. I don't think there's an obstacle she couldn't magic away! One of my favorite moments from the whole wedding was seeing her face right before our guests started arriving: all of my anxieties about set up and the venue and the timeline melted away when I saw her smile and knew how on top of things she was. I would definitely contact Katie again for a big event!

he also cares about you as a person and couple! Having Katie as a part of your wedding journey goes beyond the wedding day, and I love that I get to follow her on social media to see how she grows and makes other couple's weddings perfect. Any time I had a look of panic on my face, she knew it and checked in with me. Even though I had no idea why I was feeling what I was feeling! She also memorized one of my favorite reels she did, and the nausea I had before going down the aisle immediately disappeared :) Something I think speaks volumes to Katie is more than what I say. Every single person who interacted with her LOVED her. My bridesmaids, my mom, and the vendors. Everyone commented on how great she is and vendors even said they will be recommending her to others. THAT is the best compliment EVER. Love you Katie! Thank you so so much!

king sure our vendors were squared away, checking in months before our day, made sure guests came to and from smoothly, and just making sure my husband and I didn’t need to lift a finger or check our phones on our wedding day. She did it ALL. Sweetest human and best decision. Trust me, you need her! :)

Her and I met for our meetings and Katie was so helpful with the timeline for the day of. Something I would have definitely struggled with! She also took the pressure off of me to have to confirm with my vendors prior to the wedding. She has EVERY little detail covered! The weekend of the wedding, she helped run rehearsal. She made sure everyone knew when and who they would walk, where everyone should stand and gave us all a vision of the big days events. On the day of, she checked in with me to make sure everything was going well! She made sure the stress was off of me so that I didn’t need to worry about the little details. She also helped and went above and beyond with setting up decor, tables, etc. Overall, I cannot recommend her enough!! She did a fabulous job making our day so incredibly perfect!

track with the schedule. She made sure everything was delivered and set up at the right locations and every person knew where to be and what time. As the bride I didn’t do anything the day of except get ready and celebrate with my people, and Katie was a huge part of making that happen!

have otherwise missed. She was the go-to person all day which meant that myself, my husband, and all of our family were able to simply enjoy the day. Katie was a huge blessing in our day and I would recommend her 1000% to anyone.

e, and helped my day go as smoothly as one could ever hope! She is bubbly and bright, loves what she does, and is always willing to help. Can’t recommend her enough! 5/5

stress-free and celebratory for me and my family! Very grateful to have her there keeping me calm and enjoying the planning process and Wedding Day.

ore achievable, reached out to all of our vendors to confirm expectations and made everything run smoothly. When we'd get into the weeds of a question, process or problem Katie would listen to every concern without interrupting before calmly reassuring us that she would handle it (or already had)! On top of it all, she has the most positive attitude and truly seems to love weddings which made us feel that much better about our day. 1000% Katie is a rockstar and would be a great asset to your wedding.

wedding day approached so we could be present in the moment while trusting the planning, decor and any last minute coordination was taken care of. Katie put out any decorations we had and packed them up for us by the end of the night. Our wedding day was laid back and stress free and we were able to focus on each other and celebrating with our friends and family - Much thanks to Katie!

her services were worth EVERY penny! Our wedding was at a resort with different lodging options but it meant a lot of different locations for different things. Stuff was forgotten about in one room (like my shoes) and she went back to get them. There was a lot of moving pieces she helped coordinate and it was such a big help in making our day move along as smoothly as it could. Also, she thought of things that were forgotten about by the rest of us and those things become the BIG things. She was sweet and kind and so many people mentioned that. Can't thank her enough for her help and expertise! Megan & Walker

We could be so much more present and relaxed on the weeks leading up to the big day, and on the dat itself, because of how hard she worked to help us iron everything out. Katie’s services are well worth it, without any doubt.

, is always super quick to get back to you, and has tons of ideas and resources to help make your day absolutely perfect!! On my wedding day I literally knew everything was under control because of Katie, and even if something went wrong I never knew because she took care of everything and knew my vision for the day. I seriously can’t recommend her enough, and I feel words just don’t do justice to how important she was leading up to and on our big day! I would give her a million stars ⭐️ if I could!!

a wedding planner and was unsure if it would be beneficial simply because I am a person who is afraid to give up control. After my initial meeting with Katie, over facetime I might add, her personality and knowledge flowed through the camera that I instantly felt like I could trust this person and we were miles apart! She just has a persona about her that I love; it makes emailing her and talking on the phone with her easy. She is like one of my new girlfriends, I love getting an email from her even if it is a to-do list. Besides how she is as a person she is an amazing worker. I have never once felt forgotten or that she was not giving me her all. She makes sure that I am taking care of the stuff I need to take care of and her knowledge on weddings makes me feel confident when I do make a big decision because it is Katie approved. She does her research on vendors, adheres to my budget to the best of her ability and you can tell she is just concerned about us having the best day of our lives. I believe the most valuable part of working with Katie is the peace of mind that has come through the entire wedding planning process. I know she has my best interests in mind, and she made sure all my vendors showed on the day, kept everything in order, and just was the organization that I craved. She has made the planning fun, chill, and enjoyable, and not crazy stressful like I was before I hired her. She is amazing!

oyable. She was always communicating with me along with all my vendors and created great relationships as she got to know my family and wedding party as well. We love Katie and cannot recommend her enough for everyone's special day!

moment and not worrying about the logistics of everything running smoothly. She's the absolute best && you won't regret hiring her!

truly a life saver and I could not have planned or executed my wedding without her help.

d have a good time and don’t pay attention to when they are called by the photographer for pictures. Katie did an amazing job finding people and making sure they were on deck for the family formals. She saved me a lot of stress towards my own family and isn’t afraid to keep things moving and on schedule. When you try to get every child and family member in a picture you don’t understand how great a wedding planner is until your in that situation. She made sure my dress was bustled and out of my way, made sure I was able to eat/drink and have a good time. She kept me organized in the planning process and was there to help whenever I needed her. You can’t go wrong hiring Katie for your wedding needs!

everything I had planned thus far. She took it from there and coordinated with each vendor on their arrival time, confirmed what they were bringing, and got everyone on the same page. It took all of the pressure off of me, which was such a huge relief because I was planning a wedding in the middle of a pandemic. Leading up to the big day, Katie checked in with me regularly to see if she could assist with anything, reminded me of little details that I had overlooked and offered thoughtful advice to ensure I had the best day ever. Once our weekend arrived, Katie helped direct our rehearsal, which was so helpful. My fiance and our families sat back, relaxed and ultimately lived in the moment. She was kind, yet assertive, and had our best interest in mind while getting any job done well. Anytime somebody had a question, we pointed them to Katie, and she had the solution. Because she was so organized in our meetings prior, she knew exactly what I wanted/needed during the weekend, so she was the go-to girl. While your big day is about you and your soon-to-be-spouse, it is also a big day for your family. They do not need to be stressed or working! Katie allowed all of us to "be where our feet were" and not think about anything else but celebrating our marriage. On my wedding day, Katie arrived to the venue before I had even woken up. She checked in all of our vendors, delivered the bridal flowers to my suite, made sure we had our meals, sent me small updates of the reception as it was being decorated (just for my peace of mind)...the list goes on. During our reception, she brought my fiancé and I drinks, she adjusted the lights when I wanted it dimmer, coordinated with the DJ to begin prayers and speeches, etc. She even helped tear down at the end of the night and carry gifts to our car. She knew what the vendors needed for pickup at the end of the night and prepared all of the rentals. I can't fit everything she did for us within this word count, but she did EVERYTHING and more. If this says anything, two of my bridesmaids hired Katie for their upcoming events within a week after my wedding because they were so impressed with her. Her price was so reasonable, and if she had charged 5x what it cost me, I still would have hired her. She was worth every penny. If I could give Katie 100 stars, I would. I recommend her to every bride I meet and I will certainly be calling Katie again for any major event I have in the future - big or small.

with and truly wants to celebrate you during the whole process. Katie is so organized, thoughtful, and will make your wedding a dream that you can actually enjoy, instead of stressing about!

ices too. She also kept us up to date and organized so that we didn’t have to worry about anything leading up to our wedding day. I can’t tell you how glad I am to have had Katie walk through this process with us. We had the best day ever thanks to her!!
