Katie has been an absolute lifesaver!! I was 2 weeks into being engaged—and already super overwhelmed—when I found and hired Katie. She has made wedding planning a breeze and I don’t know how I possibly would have managed without her!! Highly recommend.

Amanda this brought tears to my eyes! Thank you SO much! I so appreciate you writing a review ^_^ I'm happy I could take so much of that stress away! I've got you and you know it! I'm Team Amanda-Drew any day of the week!
Katie is a Superhero
Katie was an absolute amazing wedding planner! She swooped in when we thought we were going to have to cancel our wedding due to Helene. She helped set up backup options for our elopement and reception, and then when we found out that we could have our wedding at the original places Katie coordinated and made sure everything went perfectly how we envisioned it. Our day would not have been possible without her!!

absolute joy to be by your side through all the twists and turns. I also really loved how your friends were so obviously there for you both. They were so sweet and so dedicated to you. And I see why- you both are a true pleasure to be around. If any of them ever need a planner or coordinator, please don’t hesitate to let me know! Thank you again for letting me be part of your special day— your 70's disco theme, black dress, and just YOU- truly unforgettable!
Thank you SO much!

Any questions?
My husband and I were granted a dream wedding from Wish Upon a Wedding. Katie, from K.S. Otter Events was our wedding planner. She did an extraordinary job. Our wedding day was like a fairytale. She is innovative, and incorporated things I hadn't even thought of. Yet, she took time to listen to what we wanted too. Katie has a database of wedding vendors who she collaborated with to make our day special. Not only was it well organized, it was beautifully decorated, the food was good, music was just right, and everyone had a good time.

he food and music—came together so perfectly is incredibly fulfilling. Your family was absolutely wonderful, and I’ll never forget the sweet moment when your daughter (Jordan) hugged me and said, “Thank you for helping my mom and dad.” My HEART! It truly tugged at my heartstrings. Thank you for being you. It was my absolute pleasure. You and your family truly deserve all the good in the world!
Warmest regards,
Katie
Katie from K.S.Otter Events was so helpful in planning our wedding. The amount of research she did into venues and vendors was just so useful, I wouldn't have known where to start without it. We ended up with the venue of our dreams. The planning timeline was well prepared and prevented any stress that might have happened from forgetting things until the last second. Katie was always very responsive, friendly and easy to work with. I highly recommend K.S.Otter Events for planning.

Flawless Event Execution with Heart
K.S. Otter Events, led by the incredible Katie, is truly a standout in the world of event planning. I had the privilege of performing at the Make-A-Wish Wedding, and Katie ensured that every detail—right down to the support for the performers—was flawless.
From the moment I arrived, Katie made sure I was in the perfect position to do my best work. Her communication was clear, her organization impeccable, and her kindness unparalleled. She created an atmosphere where everyone—guests, vendors, and performers alike—felt valued and supported.
Katie's energy and ability to seamlessly orchestrate every aspect of the event were awe-inspiring. Her commitment to excellence not only made the couple’s vision come to life but also elevated the experience for everyone involved.
K.S. Otter Events doesn’t just plan events; they create magic. I can’t recommend Katie and her team highly enough for anyone looking to bring their special moments to life with heart, creativity, and precision.

-Wish Wedding. Your energy, artistry, and passion brought something truly special to the event, and I’m so grateful I got to witness it firsthand.
Creating a space where every guest, vendor, and performer feels supported and valued is always my goal, so hearing that it came through means everything. It was a joy to collaborate with you and see your performance in action. Your presence added so much beauty, wonder, and heart to an already unforgettable day.
I can't wait for another opportunity to work together. You and your team are absolute stars, and I’d be honored to team up with you on future celebrations. Thank you again for sharing your experience so thoughtfully!
Warmly,
Katie
As a seasoned wedding DJ, I've had the pleasure of working with many planners, but K.S. Otter Events truly stands out. Katie’s use of user-friendly timeline software ensured seamless event flow, while she carefully curated wedding games kept guests thoroughly entertained. What truly set this planner apart was their exceptional team coordination and clear communication throughout the event. Despite unexpected challenges, Katie demonstrated remarkable adaptability, skillfully adjusting the timeline to maintain the smooth flow. Katie’s attention to detail, innovative approach, and outstanding management skills make her an invaluable asset to any couple. I wholeheartedly recommend her company's services for a stress-free, beautifully orchestrated wedding experience.

I’m already looking forward to our next event together — I know it’ll be another incredible collaboration. Thank you again for your support and for being such a fantastic partner on this event!

Katie was such a joy to work with! I am a wedding photographer and Katie saved my couple. Their original planner is cancelled a month before the wedding. Katie did a wonderful job and I would recommend her over and over!

er! Watching you capture such beautiful, heartfelt moments was incredible, and I’d love to collaborate with you again anytime.
Warmly,

Starting on our wedding journey, my wife and I were obviously a little stressed. What’s the best venue for us when we don’t want a super huge wedding? How the heck are we going to tackle all these millions of details?? Talking to Katie for the first time, we knew right away that we found our right fit. Throughout the whole process, she was calm, and assured, and was 100% ready to roll with our colorful aesthetic. It truly felt like she cared, and listened to us at every step. The wedding itself was AMAZING, and felt totally flawless. I learned later that there had been some hiccups with the catering, but I had no idea because Katie handled it!! I would 100% recommend Katie to anyone!

If I could work with couples like you for the rest of my career, I’d be in absolute heaven! Your warmth, creativity, and trust made every step feel joyful and rewarding. It was such an honor to be part of your special day, and I’m beyond thrilled that it felt as seamless and stress-free as you deserve. Thank you for letting me be part of your story — it’s a celebration I’ll always hold close to my heart!
