Katie was AMAZING! Best wedding planner I could’ve asked for! She helped me so much leading up to the wedding with finalizing details, figuring out the timeline, finding linens, and communicating with vendors. She was on top of things since day one of booking her and made this whole process stress free! On the actual wedding day, I didn’t worry about one thing and honestly have no clue if anything went wrong. It literally went so smoothly and was the best day ever thanks to Katie!!
She was absolutely fabulous! She was everything I needed and more for my wedding day! Fantastic communicator, never missed a beat on anything! Please, if you need a coordinator she is the best person for this job!! SHE IS AMAZING!!!
Katie is the absolute best! We could not have asked for a better wedding planner! Katie went above and beyond to make our day exactly what we wanted! We had so many elements we added to help share our interests and love story and Katie was on top of everything! She was on board from day 1 with all our ideas and our vision for what we wanted our wedding to be.
She helped pick out decor to make our vision come to life. She helped us design our wedding cake to have subtle elements of our interests in Star Wars, Star Trek, Marvel, and DC. She helped us organize and plan the timeline of the day to incorporate everything we wanted to do.
She completely embraced our ideas of wanting to show elements of our nerdy interests handmade themed table numbers.
Anytime we had a question, problem, issue, or anything in between, Katie was quick to respond with a solution.
I cannot say enough nice things about Katie, but if you are looking for a wedding planner who will help make your dream wedding a reality, hire Katie Waara of One Fat Dove! You will not be disappointed!
Katie was an absolute blessing to have for our wedding! She made everything so great and was so attentive and kind and made sure to get every detail that we wanted. Our day went without one issue and that is rare to say about a wedding day with all of the uncontrollable! Katie was so easy to get along with it’s like we’d known each other for years, her face was comforting during the wedding day chaos and I couldn’t be more grateful and thankful I chose One Fat Dove for our special day!
One fat dove was absolutely amazing! Katie took care of everything the day of and as the bride there was nothing I had to worry about! I have been recommending her to all my friends. A must have for your wedding day!
Katie was wonderful to work with and had great communication. I loved how organized she was and how I was able to ask her questions about things when needed. Highly recommend!!
Katie did an amazing job as our Day of Coordinator! She made the day smooth and seamless! I'm very thankful that we choose One Fat Dove for our wedding day!
Katie was amazing! She helped our day run so smoothly and brought our vision to life. We communicated throughout wedding planning and she helped make the process easier. The one complaint I have is about the bouquet/garter toss. When it was time to do it a majority of our single guests were gone and I no longer saw a point in doing it. I just wish that an adjustment was made and that it was done sooner. But we were so busy running around that it slipped our minds completely. Although that is one of my regrets I still highly recommend her. Just communicate what time you want that done.
Hands down, you need a wedding planner and Katie is your girl! I'm so thankful I had a month of planning with Katie because there is so much that goes on that you aren't even aware of. She worked the timeline out and communicated with all of my vendors. I loved how we worked out our reception floor plan with my head table in the center of the action. She was very supportive throughout the process. Katie's staff is also top notch as they stepped in during the our reception set up because of a family emergency that popped that morning. Katie's staff got everything prepped, ready and beautiful by the time she was able to join us. Katie kept us on time especially in the heat of May. During pictures, she always had my flowers dried and ready for me. I don't think I would have known where my flowers were half the time if it wasn't for her ha! I loved the flow of the evening, thanks to the magical timeline, and I loved that I never had to worry about what was next. I got to live in the moment and enjoy the evening. You really can't ask for more than that!
THE BEST.
Katie was made for this. Best investment we made for our day, hands down. She has the calmest, most reassuring personality, and is the hardest worker! Our day was completely stress free because of her punctuality, attention to detail and poise. She has so much experience and was able to make plans “a”, “b”, and even “c” just in case. If you’re getting married in NTX do your self a HUGE favor and hire One Fat Dove!!!
Katie was an absolute blessing for our wedding day! I had such a stress free wedding day because of her, she managed every detail and I had zero worries honestly. We started working together and setting up the timeline a little less than a month before the wedding. 2 of our other vendors said amazing things about Katie as well when I mentioned that we were working with her for the day of coordination. Sometimes people are on the fence on whether or not a coordinator is “worth it” for the wedding day and the answer is absolutely, they are worth it!! If you want a relaxing, stress free wedding day then I highly recommend One Fat Dove!
Katie was always on top of everything for our big day! From the planning before the day to the actual day, our day ran smoothly because of her. She was a great communicator and had a multiple page excel document we had the whole day planned out on. All the vendors knew where to be and when because of the master spreadsheet. Every wedding has it's hiccups, but Katie handled them to the best of her ability and let us just celebrate the day. We appreciate so much her guidance throughout the day and our day wouldn't of been the same without her. Thank you!!
I don't know if I could ever say enough good things about Katie! I hired her to be my month-of coordinator mainly so I would not have to worry about anything on my wedding day. And my wedding day went incredibly smoothly because of her work! She helped me make a timeline and floor plan, and she also sent the necessary information to my vendors prior to the wedding. The day of the wedding, I literally was not stressed about a single thing. She handled everything so gracefully, and let me celebrate with my friends and family throughout the event. The best thing about her is how experienced and prepared she was the entire time. She always knew what was happening next, and anticipated just about every need my groom and I had that day. If you are having a wedding in NTX you should absolutely hire Katie to be your coordinator because she will make your day even better than you could have imagined!
Katie and One Fat Dove!!! Where do I even start!? From day 1 of planning for our big day (almost 2 years away might I add) Katie and her team immediately started planning a timeline, countdown and step by step to get ready for our big day. Katie made our wedding planning experience a breeze and eliminated any stress that came up. Needless to say, our wedding day was such a wonderful, stress-free, day. Katie and her team tackled any and all problems that arised and we were able to really take in the whole day. She has such a calming nature about her and was able to relieve you of any and all pre-wedding stress and juggle all of the wedding planning! She just makes your life so much easier and we could not recommend her more!!
If there is one thing I recommend doing for your wedding, it is hiring Katie with One Fat Dove! I am personally extremely organized and pay a lot of attention to details and Katie was even more organized than me! She thought of so many things that would have never occurred to us and I am convinced that our wedding would not have been as wonderful as it was without her. From the very beginning, Katie was super responsive to emails and she honestly made the entire wedding planning process a breeze. On our wedding day we had a few vendor mishaps (at no fault of Katie's!) and she handled it effortlessly and not a single guest knew anything went wrong. Not only is Katie a great wedding planner, but she is great at making you feel supported throughout your big day and truly cares about you and your wedding. It is so hard to find great vendors, so Katie is truly a gem! Do yourself a favor and book with One Fat Dove!
Please don't pass up on Katie as your potential wedding planner! :) She was the exact person we needed to help us plan our wedding! She has a great sense of humor and is super down to earth. Just after a few chats with her we already got along and she knew exactly what we were looking for in our little wedding. The thing that made me appreciate her the most was her honest: I was worried about how small our wedding would be, but she assured me it wouldn't be "small"... it would be "intimate." Basically, she has a wonderful way with words, and knows exactly what she's doing. We couldn't have asked for a better planner for our special day. If you're reading this Katie, thank you so much for all of your hard work!! You are the best of the best.
We cannot thank Katie enough for everything she did to make my wedding day amazing. She has so much knowledge about the wedding industry. She planned our whole wedding so perfectly. We had the dreamiest day and we couldn’t have done any of it without Katie’s attention to detail or overall wedding expertise
If you’re looking for a planner or day of coordinator, stop where you are, and contact Katie with One Fat Dove. She is PHENOMENAL. I consider myself super organized and detail oriented, but One Fat Dove takes the cake. Katie was working for me as soon as we hung up the phone from our consultation and never stopped. She’s extremely organized, detail oriented, and provides a solution to your every need or question. She was always one step ahead of me. If I was teetering between this or that, she’d say “we could do this..” and voila, problem solved. She works non-stop, NON-STOP! You don’t clearly understand how much of a boss she is until you see her in action. She’s always approachable, and always calm. As far as wedding day went, it was a breeze - for me. If anything went wrong, I never knew, and my wedding was perfect. I trust One Fat Dove to handle anything they’re hired for, and you should too. One Fat Dove is *chef’s kiss👌🏻*.
Hiring One Fat Dove for our Month of Planning was the best decision we made! Our day would not have gone as smooth if it wasn't for Katie and Katie! Their professionalism and organization is over the top. It made for a stress-free day knowing they were so on top of every detail! They were at our venue before I even arrived and stayed well after to clean up! I would recommend Katie to every future bride!
I cannot say enough amazing things about sweet Katie!! From the moment I met with her I was hooked- she is SO organized, had so many details and planning questions I had never even thought of, and is just an absolute delight to work with. I am a very type A person and had so many questions and she was so prompt answering them all and calming my nerves. The same went for day of- the moment I arrived at the venue she was already hard at work, had a total game plan, and made our day run totally smoothly! From the timeline, to rounding up family, coordinating the chaos as things came up, to helping tear down and making sure everything went with the right people- she did it all! Not only did she make my day so much more relaxed, but she helped calm my family and keep them informed on everything happening. My mother couldn't stop ranting about what a pleasure she was to work with and I couldn't agree more! Katie is a straight up gem and kept our day flowing so smoothly so we could enjoy our special day! I cannot recommend Katie and her team enough- she is a must!
If you are looking for a wedding planner- look no further! I have nothing but great things to say about Katie and her whole team at One Fat Dove. I purchased the month of coordinating plan, but I felt like I had Katie's full support from day one. We met multiple times to build a very detailed timeline and then on the day of Katie handled everything. She has so much experience and can help you think of things you might have missed. Even if you feel like you are organized and ready, I can't stress enough how much the One Fat Dove team will do for you. I would hire them again in a heartbeat!!
One Fat Dove was the best wedding planning service I could ask for. Katie made me feel at ease on my wedding day and made sure that everything ran smoothly. She handled last minute changes that got thrown at her like a pro and made sure my whole wedding was exactly how I dreamed it would be. I can’t thank Katie enough for the wonderful job she did and I would 10/10 recommend her to any bride on her big day. Thank you Katie!!!!
There are not enough words to describe how thankful and grateful we are for Katie and her team. She is an absolute ROCKSTAR as a wedding planner and as a person. She made our wedding day so perfect and beautiful! From the beginning of the wedding planning process she always made us feel heard, gave great advice and was always just an email or call away when we had any last minute questions. She was thoughtful, organized and professional no matter what was thrown her way. On the day of our wedding, she did a phenomenal job making the venue look absolutely beautiful and for making it the most stress free day for my husband and I. I still can’t believe how perfect every detail was and how much love went in to planning that day. She went above and beyond our expectations, and it was best decision we ever made hiring her. We could not have done it without her kindness and support. Highly recommend if you want the best!!
Katie Waara & Katie Crawford made my day an absolute dream. The professionalism, organization, & effort put into my wedding day was unmatched. Between emailing all vendors a month prior to the day, to organizing the entire day from start to finish, I couldn’t have asked for more. They also both have the most amazing, bubbly personalities! The sweetest, most genuine women. Could not have had the day we did without them. So incredibly thankful!!!
Both Katie’s were an absolute pleasure to work with. They responded to every text and email sent their with in a timely manner, I was a hot mess the day of and would of lost my head if it wasn’t attached to my body Katie Crawford made sure everything ran smooth and went well even when I decided to change the timeline up a bit because I just wanted to party my pants off. Her calmness and attentiveness was AMAZING. 50/10 would recommend.
Katie was an absolute dream of a wedding planner. She was very clued in, responsive and hands down amazing the month of leading up to our wedding day! Katie took full responsibility of all the vendors and made sure our wedding day was perfect. If there was anything that went wrong I wouldn’t be able to tell you because Katie handled it all! She also made us the cutest tik tok video of our wedding day (as a surprise) and it’s something I go back and look at constantly! I couldn’t recommend her and the One Fat Dove team enough! We love you Katie and are so thankful that you were apart of our big day!
I cannot say enough good things about Katie and her team! Hiring Katie as our day-of coordinator was one of the best decisions we made. Since the day we signed the contract, (about 6-8 months prior to our wedding) she started planning with us the wedding schedule and important meeting dates. She is very knowledgeable and knew all the right questions to ask our vendors during detail meetings. On the day of the wedding, she went above and beyond to make our dream wedding a reality! She was extremely prepared and knew exactly how to handle any situation. There was a couple of hiccups throughout the day, but none of our guests ever found out because Katie and her team would swiftly and seemingly fix them! We are forever grateful to One Fat Dove for their dedication to our special day!
Katie was truly amazing to have our at wedding! We hired her as our month-of coordinator. She was very personable, professional, and organized and kept our rehearsal and wedding day stress-free! She responds very fast to emails and text messages and keeps you updated periodically leading up to the wedding day. She communicated very well with all our wedding vendors. My husband and I were able to enjoy and celebrate on our wedding day and not think about any behind-the-scenes logistics. For future brides... a planner/coordinator is one of the best investments you'll make and OFD was phenomenal for us! Ben & Frances
Katie was awesome to work with- I loved her energy and excitement! She got the job done. Everyone asked me, “omg where did you find her? She is awesome!” Nothing but good things to say.
Katie was amazing as our Wedding Planner!!! She was also a great Officiant as well! Her energy and willingness to go above and beyond ensured that we had the perfect rehearsal dinner, wedding ceremony, and reception. She is very attentive, organized, and a delight to work with. Even with Covid shutdowns, she handled all the changes and managed the vendors like the Pro that she is. We can't thank you enough Katie! You Rock!
Katie was referred to by the venue coordinator. She did a great job, keeping us on track, and providing excellent resources, from wedding ties for the groomsmen to getting the sparklers for the wedding departure, table numbers, etc...she made sure we had everything needed and was really a joy to work with, even when the bride wasn't!
Katie was without a doubt the BEST decision we made when planning our wedding. She went above and beyond our expectations. She helped with anything we needed and was SO helpful when it came to the design aspect. She took my ideas, helped me build upon them, and made them even better than expected. The day ran seamlessly- everyone knew where to be and when, and there was a great flow to the whole event. Katie is personable, organized, creative, and efficient- the best choice for a wedding planner! Highly recommend!
The best money we spent on a vendor! Both Katies from One Fat Dove were responsive, helpful, patient, and made the day of so flawless and perfect. I definitely can't imagine doing the wedding planning process without them. They made sure all the little details were thought of and communicated/coordinated with all the rest of the vendors. Highly recommend!!
Katie did a WONDERFUL job on my wedding. I'm very detail oriented and would have loved to do it all myself, but she put me at ease and took care of everything. Not once did I have to think on my own wedding day and I am more grateful for that than she could ever know. 100% recommend One Fat Dove for all your wedding needs!
Katie and her team were fantastic! Such a stress-free day all thanks to them!
Katie was was the BEST wedding coordinator! I knew I wasn’t going to be able to handle our wedding day by myself, so hiring Katie was the best decision I made through out the whole wedding planning process! Day of coordinator doesn’t even come close to what she did for us. From when I said yes, she answered every question I had, literally anything! Coordinating with vendors for our schedule to planning the seating chart. I planned this big wedding by myself and knowing I had someone to make it all happen the day of, made me feel like my hard work was not going to fall through. The day of she showed up before me and already was getting things in motion. I stayed in my suite the whole morning and when I came out, my vision came true. I didn’t have a question through out the day that she couldn’t answer. The whole day flowed so smoothly and I wasn’t stressed about anything! She was there for me the whole entire day. I honestly can’t say enough of how great she is! I am so thankful I was able to enjoy my day, and I couldn’t have done it without her.
I contacted Katie at the beginning of my wedding planning, this is by far the best decision I made during planning process. Katie took control and I never had to worry about a single thing. Katie went above and beyond my expectations and made my experience the dream that it has alway been. Kate, I thank you for all that you did for me during this most memorable time of my life.
One Fat Dove did an excellent job helping me with wedding planning. They answered all the questions I had and did it in a timely manner. They day of the wedding Katie went above and beyond to make sure everything we wanted was in the right place and at the right time. We recommend using them for your wedding.
MAKE THIS A PRIORITY INVESTMENT! Katie & her team were an absolute blessing to work with! I cannot stress how helpful and important it is to make sure you have an experienced wedding coordinator. Long story short - Katie basically saved my wedding photos from being a complete disaster...yes, no exaggeration. I'm super type A personality and thought that I could do everything myself... NO! Do yourself a favor and invest in this service & make sure you go to One Fat Dove because they're seriously the best with communication, creativity, reliability and the kindest hearts you will ever meet! Nick and I absolutely WILL use again for any major events!
Katie is the absolute best wedding planner to work with!!! She is so sweet, kind, understanding, and made sure our wedding day went spectacularly! I couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of me, my family, my husband, and our wedding on our special day. Everything went without a hitch and it was the PERFECT day!! Thank you Katie!! XOXO! ❤️
Wow where do I start. One Fat Dove was hands down the absolute best money that I spent for our wedding day. If I could recommend what you need and who you need it would be this company! They are the wedding coordinator that you want. Katie went above and beyond to make every little detail run smoothly. All of my family and all of the guests continuously mentioned how everything during the day was phenomenal and that nothing went "wrong" this was ALL because of One Fat Dove. They took care of all major and minor details that made our wedding happen.
Our wedding was at "The Olana" in Hickory Creek Texas.
I will forever be grateful for the work they put in for us! One Fat Dove is the reason our day was magical and phenomenal. You will be so happy with your decision to choose them for your lifelong memory!

I was totally on the fence about choosing a wedding planner because I had worked for a wedding planner in the past and thought I could do it all myself. I decided that I probably didn’t want all that stress especially once my day got closer so I hired Katie and her team as a month of planner. Katie was helpful from the very beginning even though my wedding was MONTHS away! She had a rough draft timeline to me within a couple days for me to go over and make any changes to, which I think is pretty awesome, considering I chose only month of! Katie and her assistants completely made it worry and stress free the day of my wedding. I seriously cannot imagine if they wouldn’t have been there. They were rockstars! I seriously cannot say enough good things about them. I also cannot say enough HIRE A WEDDING PLANNER!! Don’t put that stress on yourself— but more importantly hire Katie and her team— I promise you WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!! Thank y’all for EVERYTHING and making our day literally perfect! Could not have done it without y’all!!
Katie and One Fat Dove is worth their weight in gold! If you are on the fence about getting a coordinator, just do it, and pick her!
She was reccomended by our cake baker when we were answering questions for the day of, including the day of contact. I wanted a coordinator but my now husband wasn't convinced it was necessary. Our baker basically said, well worst case scenario, I get a flat tire while delivering your cake, I'm going to need someone to call and I don’t want to be bothering you with that and the hubby started to see the light. I contacted One Fat Dove the next day.
From the start she was friendly and answered any questions I had from the fiancè. She didn't pressure me in that first call, went over all of our questions, sent a contract for us to look over. I was immediately sold. It was like I was talking to an old friend.
She was extremely helpful with our covid postponement as well. Once we got the date figured out, she took charge of getting all the updated contracts.
I was incredibly overwhelmed (in a good way!) with the timeline she had sent me. There were so many things on there I would have never thought about and at some points the day was broken down into 10 minute increments. I really don't think we would have pulled off our wedding without her.
She was always quick to reply to emails and helped calm me down when I had a covid wedding freak out moment. I felt much better after talking with her about her experiences so far.
We did have a few phone calls to fill out any questions they had for me on the timeline and to tweak it a little here and there. It was all perfect and ready a few weeks ahead.
Now the day of.... HOLY COW! I didn't have to do anything at all! The hubby was super impressed and after was like dang, yeah she was more than worth it!
We brought our boxes into the venue and they took over. Everything was perfect. I had sent a few pictures of my centerpiece plan and they nailed it! They popped in a few times to ask some questions while we were getting ready, but other than that, if there were any hiccups or anything at all, I wouldn't have known. She made the day completely stress free!
She was also an expert dress fluffer, making my train beautiful for our pictures. Our photographer also commented on the detail of the timeline and wished he could work with her all the time. She was also great with our dj too. They didn't let up all night and kept everything going more than perfect! By the end of the night everything was packed up and down to less boxes than we came in with. I was in awe all night of how awesome they were!
Seriously, you will not regret hiring One Fat Dove! I could go on forever about our amazing experience and I am so thankful for Katie making our day perfect!
Katie was absolutely amazing!! We were so impressed with her execution and how she handled everything at both our rehearsal and our wedding! We received compliments all night and after the wedding about her and her assistant. We could not be more grateful for everything they did. Katie made it possible for us to not stress and worry about anything that day knowing that she was on top of it! Everything went so smoothly and we were so happy with One Fat Dove!
Love and adore Katie! She was always there for me when I needed her, very well organized and exceeded expectations! She treated me like a queen! No hiccups and no worries on my wedding day. Everything was smooth as butter. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
*Book One Fat Dove for all your wedding planning needs!!*
Katie is absolutely outstanding in every aspect. She responds in a timely manner, handles every situation (with grace and ease), and has a really great way of adapting to an idea. The planning process couldn’t have gone any smoother—it was all because of Katie. During the planning stages, a few times I felt a little overwhelmed; Katie stepped right in and handled everything she could for me.
Coming into my rehearsal dinner and wedding day, Katie went into ‘Boss Lady’ mode in the best way possible. If there was ever a problem that day, I never heard a word about it! She handled everything from setup to tear down; my whole family had nothing but kind words to say about her and especially loved that she made tear down so quick and easy. Katie kept everything on schedule and running in a smooth manner. I have nothing but amazing things to say about her!
I could not have picked a better wedding planner. Katie and Katie were amazing. They made my entire wedding day run so smoothly and kept me sane. They always made me feel special and like I was the only bride they had, even though I know I wasn’t lol. They are incredibly sweet and detailed oriented. They always answered any questions I had in a timely manner. My entire wedding party talked about how amazing they were too. Best decision hands down. My only regret was not finding them sooner.
Katie was wonderful to work with and allowed our wedding day to run smoothly. She took the reins on communicating with our vendors the month of our wedding, which was especially helpful the two weeks leading up to our special day! She is prompt, professional, organized, and gave very helpful advice regarding vendors and tips/tricks of the wedding world! I cannot imagine what I would have done without her! Not to mention, she is super sweet and accommodating. I will definitely utilize her expertise and services when coordinating events in the future.
I found “One Fat Dove” through the Knot app and couldn’t be happier with our decision! Katie was such a great help, always had the best, upbeat attitude and helped us out tremendously!! Living 5 hours away from our venue, I knew I needed someone who had worked with our vendors and lived closer. I recommend One Fat Dove to anyone who is getting married in the DFW area!
Our guests and wedding party were blown away by how flawless our wedding was, and our coordinator deserves all the credit! We had an idea and plan; they made it come to life!
Katie & Katie, thank you both SO much for helping us make our wedding the best day of our lives. Y’all were so fun to work with and get to know!
We hired One Fat Dove about 3 months before our wedding. Katie and her team did an awesome job creating our timelines, setting up the day of, making sure everything went smoothly and so much more. They were very organized and professional. Planning a wedding especially during a pandemic is tough but they made it so easy for us. We could not thank them enough. I highly recommend One Fat Dove to anyone!!
The "Katies" were BEYOND amazing!!! It truly was a blessing coming across them. I had their help during the last part of my wedding planning but wish I had decided to bring them in sooner.
Right away after our first meeting, I knew I was in great hands. They had awesome suggestions and ideas- even down to the smallest details. Anytime I had questions or just wanted to go over things, they were responsive/available/flexible via call, text, email, and in person. Best of all, they treated me like a friend not just another client. It seriously was a breeze during the entire time of planning.
At the rehearsal dinner, I had a bit of a family meltdown which delayed getting everything started but they carried on professionally and calmly and had my back through it all. When the big day arrived, I had some last minute changes and they made it happen without hesitation. I had also given them my wedding decor to set out however suited their fancy and when I got to see how they had arranged everything- it was PERFECT (heart eyes). During the course of the 12 hour wedding day, they were running around the venue between the chapel, reception area, bride's cottage, and groom's cottage all in the Texas heat like champs. Even my wedding party noticed and were coming up to me telling me how "on top of it" they were.
Needless to say, my wedding day was a dream and I ultimately owe it all to One Fat Dove. Even with the added stress of the pandemic, they were on point from the first day and did more than what was expected which I am super grateful for. I would give these ladies the universe full of stars rating if I could ;)
Katie is seriously the BEST!!
She truly cares about her brides, and is the BEST in the business, I cannot recommend her enough! She made replanning my COVID wedding a breeze and was always there to ease my mind when the stress crept in! She and her team are extremely detail oriented, easy to communicate with, and so personable!
Highly recommend hiring Katie as your wedding coordinator!! Every time I thought of something that needed to be done, she had already done it for us. She and the other coordinator Katie, made sure everything went perfectly for our day. As the bride, I didn’t have to worry about a single thing. They took what I had in mind for decorations and layout and brought it to life! Always made sure we had water or a fan blowing on us during photos (we got married in July, outside.) I could go on, but we definitely recommend One Fat Dove !
Hands downs the best decision we made for our wedding was hiring One Fat Dove! Katie is the sweetest person ever, I felt like she was one of my friends rather than a stranger. I loved that she thought of every little detail when working on our timeline, even things I overlooked. The day of my wedding ran SO smooth and couldn’t imagine anyone else coordinating our day! Hire her, you won’t be disappointed!!
Katie is seriously the best! Our original wedding got cancelled due to Covid so we decided to do a “backyard” wedding at our property! I was so stressed because that would mean basically creating a venue from scratch! Katie came to my home, brought me peonies and champagne, rolled up her sleeves and jumped in! No hesitation at all! She had the answers to every question and even reminded my mom and I to do a few “trial walk” since she would be walking me down the isle. The day before our wedding Katie arrived to our property and again rolled her sleeves up and got busy! I could have never dreamed of having such a rock star planner! My wedding was MAGICAL and I could not have done it without Katie! She was there every step of the way! I can not thank her enough! She will forever be a friend of ours!
Katie is one of the best in the biz! She is very professional and cares about her brides as well as her brides vendors very dearly! She sees all the little details, works so hard (even when no one is watching) and makes sure your day is the best day ever! She has a heart of gold, and a joyful presence. Your wedding will be your dream wedding if she has anything to do with it! She is amazing!!!!
I have had the privilege of working with One Fat Dove multiple times now and have consistently been blown away at their attention to detail, organization, communication before events, and their ability to quickly adapt to unexpected situations with ease. Katie and her staff are some of the best of the best and I know that our clients will be in good hands with One Fat Dove planning and coordinating the best day of their lives.
Katie is IT.
Do yourself a favor and hire her today.
Originally I wanted someone the day of just so I had to worry about less, Katie was SO MUCH more than that to me on my wedding day.
She was on it the whole time. No one needed anything or wondered anything because Katie is just that good at what she does.
There were "problems" that weren't even problems because Katie saw to them immediately and I didn't even know!
Talk about a blessing.
And on top of being the best, she is the most genuine and kind hearted human.
The EXACT type of energy you'll want/need on your big day.
I love her and wish I could have another wedding just to be around her and her amazing spirit.
To be honest I told my daughter I did not want the expense of a wedding coordinator because I can do that, right? Well, let me tell you, it was the best-spent money of anything we paid for! Katie immediately took all the pressure off of me, was very organized and had thoughts and ideas I had never even thought about! Katie arrived at the event before we even did with her assistant and was ready to attack the day! My idea of a coordinator had always been just standing around with the clipboard making sure everything was getting done. However, Katie and her assistant worked their butts off physically helping with all of the decorations for hours! They then helped clean up everything at the end of the night after keeping everyone on schedule the entire day. We cannot thank one fat dove enough for all they did for my daughter’s special day!
Hiring Katie @ One Fat Dove was by far the very best decision I made all throughout wedding planning. We used her for “month of” services but let me tell you, this girl made me feel like she she had my back from the very first second of our initial phone call more than 5 months out. She attended meetings with me, responded to emails and chased other vendors on my behalf, and created a Beautiful master timeline that all vendors adhered to... and that is only the tip of the iceberg. Katie is not only good at what she does professionally, she is a GOOD person, literally one of the sweetest and most genuine human beings I’ve ever met. Whenever I felt even a tiny bit anxious or insecure she knew exactly what to say or what to do to calm my nerves, ESPECIALLY the day of my wedding. She is an amazing advocate for the bride and groom and literally thought of everything I didn’t, and completely took the reins so that I could truly enjoy my day and focus on marrying the love of my life. My wedding day ended up being everything I had imagined and hoped for, and I owe a lot of that to Katie!! I wish I could give her more than 5 stars.
