Kristin Catter Events

her!

stress-free. Planning a wedding from Houston while it was happening in Austin could have been overwhelming, but thanks to Erica, I never felt a moment of stress. Her incredible organization and weekly emails kept us on track, and she was always quick to respond, answering every question with patience and expertise. She truly went above and beyond to make the entire process easy and enjoyable. On our wedding day, Erica was an absolute lifesaver. Everything ran flawlessly—there wasn’t a single hiccup! Her calm and meticulous attention to detail allowed us to truly relax and soak in every moment. Every vendor she recommended was a 10/10, making our wedding even more incredible than we imagined. If you’re looking for a planner who will bring your dream wedding to life without the stress, look no further than Kristin Catter Events. Hiring them was one of the best decisions we made!

o had been planning her wedding for years and had a Pinterest board at the ready, so I had a ton of questions. Kristin and April were incredibly responsive and supportive throughout the entire process. There was some unexpected construction at my venue that required us to alter the initial vision we'd planned for my wedding. While I was heartbroken, Kristin and April went above and beyond to take care of me, scheduling additional visits to the venue and working with the venue coordinator to make sure that I had the wedding of my dreams. When it came to my actual wedding day, April took care of everything. I really felt like I could enjoy the day and be fully present with my husband and my guests without stressing about any of the details. It was truly the best day of my life, and I think it is in large part because of Kristin Catter Events. I will forever be grateful to them.

xceeded my expectations and had everything taken care of! I would recommend her services to anyone easily. You rock Erica!

on the fence about needing a wedding planner, please do it, it is worth every single penny especially when you get lucky and have someone like Erica and her team by your side. She has so much wisdom and experience which makes her extremely helpful when it comes to vendor selection. She knew who was good to work with and connected us with the right vendors for our vision and our budget and all of our vendors surpassed expectations. I have no doubt that would not have been the case without Erica. It was so nice having a wedding pro just a phone call away so whenever I would freak out and fear that we were behind schedule, she would talk me off the ledge. The pre-wedding part was totally impressive alone, but wedding day was a whole different level of impressive. Erica turned into wonder woman. If something went wrong, I never knew about it. The schedule ran smoothly, and we even had some guests comment that our wedding was one of the best weddings they had been to largely because of the flow and timing of the event. That was all Erica. I could sit here and praise her all day, but all this to say I would 100% recommend Kristin Catter events; their Austin wedding knowledge was top notch, their level of organization is unmatched, and they are the friendly familiar face you want by your side on one of the biggest days of your life.

d made us feel like our vision was her top priority. Here are just a few reasons why working with Kristin was such a great experience: 1. Organization: Kristin was incredibly organized. She took detailed notes during our meetings and kept everything in a comprehensive, easy-to-follow spreadsheet. 2. Budgeting: She helped us stay on track with our budget throughout the planning process. When we chose a vendor who was significantly over our original budget, Kristin found ways to adjust and cut back on other areas to ensure we stayed within our overall financial plan. 3. Vendor Selection: Kristin took a proactive approach with vendor selection. She always gathered quotes from multiple vendors, presented them with thoughtful recommendations, and explained her rationale behind each one, making it easy for us to make informed decisions. 4. Communication: Kristin’s communication was excellent. She made sure we were always informed, highlighting everything we needed to know in a clear and timely manner. 5. Experience: Kristin’s experience truly shone throughout the process. She often anticipated our needs before we even mentioned them. For example, I wasn’t sure how to articulate my vision for the floral arrangements, but Kristin understood exactly what I wanted and made it happen. We went back and forth on shuttle services for our guests, but Kristin knew exactly what we needed based on the number of guests and their age groups. 6. Professionalism and Team Management: On the day of the wedding, Kristin unfortunately had to deal with Covid. Despite this, she smoothly transitioned everything to her two assistants, who were equally familiar with all the details of our wedding. We had never met the assistants before, but they were incredible—professional, calm, and efficient—and they handled everything with the same care and attention to detail that Kristin had shown during the entire planning process. As I go through our photos and reflect on the day, I realize there are so many more details Kristin took care of that I didn’t even mention here. Her dedication, professionalism, and personal touch made all the difference in creating the perfect wedding for us. If you're looking for a planner who is not only talented but truly cares about your vision and experience, look no further than Kristin!

ns and all the wedding details. We were so impressed with her the entire time, and felt like we couldn't do this without her! She brought up a lot of points that I never thought of throughout the process, which ultimately helped make the evening flawless and unforgettable for me, my family, and my wedding guests. We thought she was amazing but wait until the day of the wedding -- that's when she becomes a total rockstar and really really shines. All the details were impeccable and transitions flawless. Nothing was overlooked. Being a wedding planner seems very stressful (I couldn't do it myself) so to spend so much money and hand it over to someone else to help manage for you, it's a lot. But I fully trusted Erica every step of the way and would recommend her til the cows come home for all future brides. Please book her!!!

nd what my mother wanted for us perfectly (very tricky family dynamics). She helped us planned our wedding when we lived in a different state and made the whole process as smooth as it could possibly go for a wedding. I really appreciated her level of detail and helping me be very specific with my vision for the wedding. I was in the grad school at the time, so I was very busy with my dissertation and working. I didn't have a lot of time to plan the wedding, and she really made it as easy as possible for me. We were living in another state, so she arranged for all my vendor appointments to be in two days. We got everything booked in two days and any appointments that could be done virtually, she made happen. As with any wedding, there are things that can go wrong. She handled it perfectly the day of. I was so worried we would have to go with our rain plan, but she helped calm my anxiety and have the rain plan ready just in case. I also had a series of unfortunate events happen the week of my wedding. My mother-in-law became very ill, and we were unsure if she would make it to the wedding. Kristin was available all week to consult. She arranged for a wheel chair for my mother-in-law and rearranged our wedding plans to make sure my mother-in-law was comfortable. My maid of honor wasn't able to come, because she got COVID. At the very last minute, Kristin went to FedEx to get a cardboard photo of my maid of honor printed, so she could be included in the photos. This woman is literally a wedding superhero. If you're an anxious bride like me, just trust Kristin and her team. She will make the dream wedding happen. Thank you so much Kristin for putting up with me and my family. I know it was tough at times managing family dynamics, but I appreciate your kindness, patience, and attention to detail throughout the whole process!

arted researching venues, I was so overwhelmed and I ran across Kristin at a wedding expo and she helped ID a venue I hadn’t even looked at that ended up being absolutely perfect. Her packages were very fairly priced and focused on the big items I was the most stressed about. From the day I booked I felt a huge sense of relief in trusting Erica to plan my wedding weekend. Not only was she supportive throughout my year + of engagement from helping me design decor with budget and a timeless result in mind to identifying and coordinating all my vendors, she earned every penny I paid on the day of alone. She helped ensure everything went smoothly on the big day despite several hiccups and was able to direct folks and keep everyone in line politely and clearly. She also helped me, my husband and our loved ones (MOH, mom, MIL,etc) truly enjoy the day to fullest, reminding us to focus on what’s important for the day and trusting her with all the details. I cannot recommend her highly enough! If I ever do a vow renewal or any other event, I would book her again in a heartbeat. Thank you thank you thank you for helping me plan the wedding of my dreams!!!

ge to her and she was on it immediately! Very thankful for her help coordinating all the vendors and making sure everything flowed how I wanted. Some slow correspondence leading up to the big day, but it’s also peak wedding season so understandable.

with communication months out from the wedding and was always available to join us on tastings and join calls with our vendors! She answered numerous questions and addressed so many concerns I had! I had no doubt she would do a great job! Then came our wedding week-- she was so helpful and encouraging! She had a flat tire on the way to our rehearsal and felt so bad. Which was absolutely not necessary!! She led a great, concise rehearsal and had us out on time! Wedding day could not have run more smoothly. I was so relieved to have all the planning done and knew Stephaine would capture my vision, which she absolutely did! Even better than I imagined. I had so many guests compliment me and I could not be more grateful! She thought of every detail and was happy to help in whatever way she could. Thank you for making our wedding so perfect and memorable!

t, keeping us on our wedding timeline, making those vital in-the-moment decisions as they inevitably arrive during wedding day. She was our guide through the wedding process and she absolutely nailed it. Highly recommend!

ring the entire process. We didn't have a very clear wedding vision, so she helped us figure out what we wanted and executed it. On the day of, she was incredible. Everything ran so smoothly, and it was all thanks to her.

throughout the whole planning process. She connected us with amazing vendors and she and her assistant made sure our wedding day went smoothly. I would work with the Kristin Catter Events team again!

he day of the wedding, but things felt really hectic. Our coordinator also misplaced the father’s boutonnieres, which led to several family members scrambling to try to find them instead of being able to enjoy the day. I also felt that she did the rehearsal half-heartedly, and she didn’t provide the guidance I expected. My hope had been to not have to worry about things on the day of my wedding, and this was not the case.

food options, guest count? I was clueless. Immediately April’s calm demeanor and friendly personality eased my worries and I knew I was in great, professional hands. No detail went unnoticed and I can’t say enough about how good it felt to know that I didn’t need to be the one who had to keep up with the little things (I’m a huge control freak by nature), because April was taking care of that for me. If you are looking for help executing a flawless event, look no further.

very specific vision and brought it to life. She is incredibly knowledgeable, attentive and personable. I recommend her for any wedding or event!

ouch with all the vendors we needed, which was very helpful since we lived out of town. Now that we’re past the wedding I can say that all of her recommendations were spot on and we LOVED all of our vendors. She made the planning process so easy and went with us to the big appointments. The entire wedding weekend was so relaxed and stress free and Erica had a huge part in that. She thinks of all the little things so you don’t have to the day of. She was able to build off of what we were envisioning and keep it our style. She is the best!

roject manager by profession, just another project right?) but 4 months into it we still had a ton of details to work out and two busy jobs of our own. Bringing on Erica Catter (which means you get a dedicated planner but really an experienced team of planners and vendors working on your behalf) allowed us to stop guessing and googling, enjoy the process and feel comfortable that everything was on track. Erica is thoughtful, creative, fun to work with, and a bit of a miracle worker! She found awesome vendors that were booked but somehow fit us in, our day of went off without a hitch (at least we never saw any, thank you Erica for that), our guests were so complimentary of the beautiful event, and we have great memories forever. If I were to make one change it would be to have brought her in even earlier!

of the planning myself. As a pretty organized, type A person who'd dreamed of her wedding her entire life--I thought I was born to do this. Ohhhh how wrong I was. By November of 2021, we had our engagement party, and I was completely overwhelmed and clearly needed a professional. I interviewed a few different planners and I knew instantly that Erica was the right choice for us. I needed someone who could be assertive, support us, communicate with vendors, and had the expertise to execute an entire wedding weekend with days of events. Erica was just what we needed. There were so many times between November of 2021 and our wedding in November of 2022 that I found myself saying that "we couldn't've done this without Erica". Erica's connections with other vendors was incredibly helpful, she worked with new vendors we'd hired (some from out of state), and overall was excellent in making our vision come to life. One guest at our wedding brunch said that we (my spouse and I) should throw big events more often, and my response was "only if I can hire Erica to coordinate all of them!". The one piece of advice I'd give everyone who'd listen is to hire your planner first. I wish we had. The amount of stress, anxiety, and heartache saved by having Erica as our go-to was well worth more than her rate, and she was easily one of the best investments in the entire process. If you're considering Kristin, Erica, or their team--do it. Their experience and expertise will go a long way in making your day (or weekend) go off seamlessly.

of turbulence during my planning and she always had a plan B for everything and always quelled our anxieties. So professional, creative and organized. I could not have done it without her absolutely stellar guidance and knowledge. 10/10!

special moments. She is fun, creative and personable! I would HIGHLY recommend her and the team for your wedding! Thank you again Erica! -Travis & Drew

ride, was a miracle. If you are looking for someone to take your vision and execute it better than you imagined, do not hesitate to hire these ladies! Also we were planning the wedding in Austin from NYC and Erica went above and beyond to schedule our tasting super early and meet us whenever we were in town.

nner we could wholly trust and would help us plan a beautiful wedding. Kristin makes wedding planning so much easier - she led us to our vendors, she negotiated contracts, and we can imagine that she did so much more behind the scenes that we likely do not know about. We appreciated that she has an excellent taste for her couples' styles - based on our conversations, she would anticipate what we would or wouldn't like. (She even created a floral mood board for us!) Kristin also helped us make the best choices with our guests in mind, e.g. making sure we would be pleasing all with our dinner menu, including the picky eaters. Perhaps most importantly, her attention on our wedding allowed us to enjoy and soak in the day. We would wholeheartedly recommend Kristin to anyone looking for a wedding planner in Austin.

tial interview for a wedding planner to our return to the wedding suite after the big event, we were taken care of. Erica took our ideas and turned them into a beautiful reality. KC Events will connect you with the amazing vendors that are suited to your individual style. They will go above and beyond what other companies offer to give you a personalized experience. I could write a 3 page list of all the things that surpassed my expectations, but instead I'll end with WOW!

our daughter’s planned wedding. At the time, we had no way to know that the wedding would be delayed twice by the pandemic. Kristin guided us through three wedding dates over a period of roughly three years, with all of the vendor and contract issues that go with changing a wedding date (twice). Kristin offered us advice, counsel, expertise, guidance, and support. She has encyclopedic knowledge of the Austin wedding scene. She has done enough weddings that none of our questions phased her — they were always met with concrete suggestions that, from her experience, had worked well in the past. From day one through the wedding day, she was amazing. Most important, however, is the fact that Kristin listened carefully to the bride and the groom. She understood their desires for the wedding and directed the planning and the implementation in ways that brought their vision to life. By the end of their three year journey, the three of them had an innate trust that made the entire experience enjoyable for all of use and the entire wedding weekend a delight for both family and guests. If you are getting married in Austin, she is, simply, the best.

planning process. When I was overwhelmed with decisions at vendor meetings, she really helped narrow down choices to stick to our original vision. On the wedding day, she didn't let us worry about any of the details so that we could focus on having a good time. I would absolutely hire KC events again!

but not for myself. My mom and I decided our lives were busy plus we had no idea where to start for planning a wedding. Hiring Erica was the best decision ever! She connected us with all vendors (and they were all absolutely amazing!). We got married at Camp Lucy- Sacred Oaks, and pretty much all the vendors had worked with Kristin Catter Events so were very familiar with the venue (and you could tell the day of wedding - everything ran so smoothly!). I absolutely loved that Erica would email us when the next task should be done, causing me to do almost zero research and helped me focus on more detailed items that were important to me. I also was a bit indifferent with details like linens and things as I'm not a creative person at all. I created a Pinterest vision board with the vibe I was going for and the color scheme and boom - Erica made it all come alive. Most decisions, I would look at Erica and she would tell the vendors what my vision was! The day of our wedding, everything was perfectly timed and I felt like a celebrity with Erica running things behind the scenes. It was a dream day that I will never forget, thanks to Erica! I highly recommend hiring Kristin Catter Events if you are like me and are organized but not necessarily wanting to be consumed with planning your wedding from start to finish.

and I knew I didn't want to work for myself for my own wedding - Kristin's services were the BEST investment we made for our wedding. She was prompt, incredibly knowledgeable, fun, and absolutely phenomenal - she almost always knew exactly what we wanted before we had even thought about it. She assembled a team of the worlds best vendors to support us, we're still absolutely blown away by just how amazing every single one was. (Plus it was always great to hear them all say how fantastic she was every time we talked with them.) Our wedding day was beyond perfect, so much more than we could have ever asked for. There's no way we could have done this without her and her team, we will be forever grateful!

if you want a wedding planner that will be in your corner & make sure everything runs smoothly.

a month of coordinator. I could not imagine dealing with multiple vendors on the day of and have it run so smoothly and on schedule. Erica helped steer us in the right direction in our month out meeting for any details we missed in planning, and was a huge help when we had to change our outdoor plans due to the weather. Our event was beautiful! Side note, it was always reassuring to hear early in our planning process when other vendors like our DJ, Caterer, and dessert company say good things when you mention Kristin Catter Events.

as effortless as it did! Erica was always on top of everything and helped guide us through all of the decisions that we needed to make. On the big day, she moved about quickly and quietly ensuring that we stuck to our timeline and that everything was in its right place without ever feeling like some overbearing ruler was commanding everyone. My wife and I were able to have plenty of moments with just us where we could enjoy our wedding fully and we wouldn't have been able to do that with Erica.

on and taste within minutes. Her communication is truly best in class - very quick responses. She made moving dates (hello pandemic) seamless. She executed everything flawlessly in a non-traditional wedding venue (Wildflower Center). Above and beyond what I had hoped for!

on facetime with me for a walkthrough of my venue a few weeks out. They asked very specific questions and kept thorough notes. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, Stephanie was incredibly responsive. I sent her a few detailed emails with pictures of how I'd like things to be placed, and she and the assistants pulled it off flawlessly. It was better than I ever could have done myself. Stephanie totally had our backs, and I fully trusted her and her team. It was an immense relief to have them on the day of the wedding. I 100% recommend working with them!

and coordinating the majority of the day and just wanted someone who could take control on the day of so I could actually enjoy the day. Not only was this my exact experience but Kristin had great suggestions for things I never thought of, she was extremely organized and direct. This worked wonders for the rehearsal and getting the wedding party together at the right times. Leading up to the wedding she was very responsive and would handle issues immediately which is any brides dream. The day of, I could not have been luckier to have her by my side. She made the day so easy, relaxing and fun for both me and my husband and we felt so taken care of. Even if you think you just need day of coordination, check out her full service too. Girl can plan a party!!

xtremely detail oriented; from the get go she had several ideas to craft our fusion Pakistani-American wedding! Both my husband and I have busy schedules and live outside of Austin, but we were very comfortable with Kristin at the helm. She gave us weekly updates on the progress of our wedding planning and was always available with any questions we had or any issues we came across. She also took charge of contacting the various vendors (e.g. catering, florals, cakes, photography / videography, etc.) and made our dream wedding come to life seamlessly. On the day of our wedding she made sure everything ran according to plan without a hitch. Kristin is the perfect person to hire to help coordinate each step of your wedding from A to Z; her bubbly personality alongside her attention to detail and willingness to go above and beyond are unmatched!

ute a special request we had for our first dance. She guided us through entire process and not once did I stress about the overall wedding timeline or the day of. Very professional and sweet. Our wedding was everything we envisioned and some thanks to Kristin and her team.

she took that in stride and worked really well with me. She is well known and has great recommendations! I hired her for a day of/month of + design/decor. She helped me execute my color scheme in regards to linens and rentals! I already knew I was going to be making my own signs/decor and did my invites off minted, but she helped with all of the other things regarding design! She also helped put my decor and signs up where they would fit best. And on the day of, despite some minor timing issues that were outside of our control, Erica made sure things ran smoothly! Overall, I definitely recommend working with Erica!

h out from the wedding made us feel so much better about everything. She clearly knew the venue well, had great insights and recommendations on layout and timeline and how to ensure everything worked out smoothly the day of. One of our shuttles for our hotel guests completely cancelled 3 days before our wedding, and Erica jumped into action to call around and luckily was able to find replacements. The day of, she handled everything with our vendors, including dealing with one that wasn't so great. She and her assistant made sure our tables looked beautiful, and all of our alcohol and personal items made it on our shuttles back to the hotel, we truly didn't have to worry about anything the day of. Would highly recommend this team for your wedding, you will not regret it!

ue and were lucky enough to get to work with Erica. She picked up the pieces of our wedding planning without a hitch and got to work. On the day of, she and her assistant took charge and made sure everything went smoothly. We can't thank her enough and anyone would be lucky to get to work with her.

stressed we got while planning our big day; in addition to dealing with a global pandemic. Not only was Stephanie an exquisitely skilled coordinator that had impeccable attention to detail. She also did such an amazing job at stepping in and taking the stress off our shoulders and easing us through the most important day of our lives. Hiring Stephanie was the best decision that we made!

elped me plan a dream wedding while I was 1000 miles away during a pandemic as a healthcare worker spending most of my days in a hospital. She was incredibly respectful of our concerns and covid protocols/plans, and made sure that no matter what our event went flawlessly. She has an unmatched work ethic & drive. She has strong working relationships with *so* many people in Austin & in Texas, I didn't speak to a single vendor/bakery/florist that didn't immediately know her by name and had only amazing things to say about her. She gets things done, and keeps you organized so you can plan a wedding and also focus on whatever else life is throwing at you. My husband at first thought we didn't need a wedding planner, and every month planning our wedding he repeatedly said "Oh thank God we have Kristin helping with this, there's no way we could do this without her". I without hesitation recommend her highly for any event - wedding, reception, party, anything. She & her team are out of this world.

een able to accomplish in such a short time already. Extremely responsive and very professional. Kristin and Erica have gone above and beyond scheduling venue tours, finding available dates and then coordinating with venue to hold certain dates to give us time to consider them, getting quotes and working with our budget, and offering advice and opinions when needed / asked. We are still early in the planning process, but I didn't want to wait a year to share a review of these positive first impressions. Thanks KCEvents DREAM TEAM for helping us find a venue and narrow down a date so quickly!

mmodating and she made the planning process very easy for us. Erica and Kristin were also very flexible about us having to postpone to a new date from last year. These ladies are rock stars!

. I struggled with the decision to hire a planner in the beginning and it was the best money I spent- seriously. She. Saved. Me. Two postponements, a venue change, a few vendor changes- she was with me through it all and handled it like a boss. I would bring things up to her that she had literally handled weeks or months prior- she's that good. I laughed with her, I cried with her. She truly took so much stress off of my plate (and obviously, there was plenty of that with wedding planning during a pandemic). After everything that I went through to get to my wedding day, the end result was amazing- I could not have asked for a more perfect day. People always say that not everything will go right on your wedding day and to just let it go- I cannot think of one single thing I would have changed. If anything went wrong, I wouldn't know because KC handled EVERYTHING. And trust her venue and vendor recommendations- I seriously felt like I had the wedding dream team. My family and friends are still raving about how beautiful my wedding was and how good of a job she did. Look no further for your wedding planner!
