Working with Katelynn was genuinely one of the best decisions we made throughout our entire wedding process. My whole mindset the entire time was basically: if Katelynn isn’t stressed, I’m not stressed. 😂 And honestly… that ended up being so true because I trusted her completely.
From the very beginning, she just made everything feel easy. Not only did she help us with all the logistics, timelines, vendor communication, coordination, etc., but she also absolutely understood the vision. We spent so much time talking through the aesthetic, mood boards, overall vibe, little details, and how we wanted everything to feel visually, and she truly brought it to life better than I could’ve imagined.
She has such a good eye for design and detail, and I trusted her opinions so much throughout the process. Every vendor recommendation she gave us ended up being amazing, and she was always willing to go above and beyond — whether that meant going back to the venue for a second, third, or fourth walkthrough just to re-look at something, helping us navigate contract negotiations, or making sure every little moving piece was handled.
What I loved most about working with her is that she’s so confident, calm, assertive, and on top of everything. You can just tell she knows exactly what she’s doing, and as a bride, that energy makes SUCH a difference because you really get to relax and lean on her.
And then the wedding day itself… truly smoother than I ever could’ve imagined. I was obviously nervous leading up to it because planning weddings is not my profession and I had no idea what to expect day-of, but she handled everything so flawlessly that I genuinely didn’t have to think about a single thing. I literally woke up, took a Pilates class, walked my dog, and casually went into hair and makeup because I knew everything was handled. 😂
The entire day flowed so beautifully, and I never once had to manage timelines, vendors, setup, problems, or logistics because Katelynn already had it covered before it could ever reach me. I got to actually be present, enjoy my husband, enjoy our family and friends, and fully soak in the day instead of stressing behind the scenes.
Truly could not have asked for a better experience or a more perfect person to help bring our dream wedding to life. So beyond grateful we chose her. 🤍

Katelynn was really awesome! After initially booking her we actually decided to change the location of our wedding from California to Kentucky. We were very grateful that she wanted to continue to work with us and made the day very special. She was very responsive throughout the process and really helped my vision for the day come to life. The day of, to my knowledge, was absolutely seamless and it was everything we could have hoped for.

ntrusting things to others, but I trusted Katelynn and truly enjoyed my day as I felt at ease leaving the details to her. On the days prior and the day of as my day of coordinator, she was frequently available to address any and all concerns. I could not recommend her enough and have encouraged all my younger siblings to hire her for their dream wedding day! Even my wedding photographers who have been doing this for 10+ years raved about the Own the Day team. 1000/1000, one of the best vendors in the business.

We chose Katlynn for her laid back personality. However, I think she was in a little over her head considering she was very busy with weddings leading into ours and she recently br...
anched off on her own. That led to less communication to us. Our vendors were getting the final timeline and final numbers the day before the wedding, confused the day of and ended coming to the bridal suite to ask questions because they couldn’t find her the day of. Come to find out every time they were looking for her she was back in a room we didn’t rent. Her and I clearly did not click as a pair and unfortunately she allowed that to get in the way of her professionalism which was a bummer. If you’re a bride who knows what she wants in sure she’s good but if you don’t know what details you want/need then I would spend the money on an experienced coordinator.

I hired Katelynn and her team for month of planning and day of coordination. From the moment we began planning, it was evident that we were in capable hands. Not only did Katelynn ...
exceed our expectations in every aspect, but she also effortlessly integrated and celebrated both of our cultural backgrounds, making our special day truly unforgettable. From the initial consultation to the last moment of our reception, Katelynn demonstrated unparalleled professionalism and attention to detail. She took the time to understand both of our cultural traditions and preferences, ensuring that every element of the wedding reflected our unique heritage while seamlessly blending them together. Throughout the entire wedding planning process, Katelynn also went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our special day was nothing short of perfect. Her meticulous attention to detail meant that no stone was left unturned, and every element of our wedding was executed flawlessly. Her timeline that she made for our day was incredible! Her ability to pivot seamlessly while maintaining a positive and reassuring attitude truly put us at ease. Katelynn and her team are absolute gems and we can't recommend her highly enough.

We hired Katelynn for partial planning because we already had a strong vision for what we wanted our wedding day to be. Katelynn was a great sounding board for different thoughts a...
nd ideas and was helpful in providing some options for different things we wanted. Before the wedding, she came up with a timeline to make sure we had a good schedule for the day, and was able to make quick changes when we wanted to move a couple things around on the day of our wedding. She ran a very efficient rehearsal and everyone knew exactly where they had to be and what they had to do during our ceremony. The day of the wedding she was incredibly helpful and made our day stress-free by handling communication with many of our vendors. I didn't have a traditional bridal party and Katelynn took care of all of my needs, even helping bustle up my dress before the reception. She also helped us fill out our marriage license and made sure we were filling everything out correctly. Katelynn was there for us throughout our big day, and I would definitely recommend her to help plan any type of event!

ces. I appreciated that a lot. We went over options and we came to the conclusion that partial planning was the best choice for us.
I am a naturally anxious person and Katelynn was able to calm my mind by telling me how much time we have for booking vendors and what next steps are. Throughout the process, Katelynn was always available. I had a vision and she brought it to life and it was better than I could have imagined.
The day of the wedding, all I had to do was show up and everything was all prepared when we arrived! She had two associates with her for the day and everything turned out unbelievably amazing! My husband and I were able to enjoy our entire night.
One special thing I want to make note of is that leading up to our wedding, we had a little hiccup and Katelynn handled it with so much compassion and privacy. She checked on us throughout the process and it made the biggest difference in our day.
Thank you so much, Katelynn!

Katelynn is super knowledgeable in everything, and was happy to answer all the questions/emails we had! We were an out-of-state couple, and Katelynn was happy to accommodate us by moving up our walk through and meeting with us via phone/zoom. She ran the most organized and efficient rehearsal. She helped make sure our vision became reality and did an excellent job of managing our friends and family. She made sure we had drinks and hors d'oeuvres after the ceremony. She helped bustle my dress before the reception. Katelynn also made sure all of our belongings were returned to us at the end of the night! She truly thought of every little detail and made sure to touch base about everything leading up to the wedding and on the night of! We can't thank Katelynn enough for making sure our day went smoothly!

dding I was able to communicate with her and loop her in with all the vendors. She created a timeline for me and helped make sure I had all my ducks in a row.
She was there to help sooth my nerves when there was a potential major issue with the venue (5ft of snow covering the ceremony site that they told me 5 days before the wedding they may not be able to clear!).
If anything went wrong the day of, I certainly didn't know. Everything went smoothly from my perception, which is why you want someone like Katelynn by your side on such a big day, right?
She and her assistant Courtney also did an excellent job of making sure everything was set up beautifully, and they killed it when packing up all my decor after the reception. We did all our own centerpieces, which were valuable collectibles, and I was so nervous about something getting broken during packing/transport, but they did such an awesome job packing, everything made it home safely.
Hiring Own The Day was worth every penny. My wedding day was completely stress free, in large part thanks to Katelynn and Courtney.

ing, so we hired her for her partial planning package. We had a general vision and chose our vendors with the help of Katelynn's recommendations, but she was crucial in putting it all together. We had a church ceremony and backyard reception and Katelynn helped us to plan out the backyard space so that all the tables fit with room to dance, and everything flowed together beautifully. She was also able to help with any questions we had, like how much glassware to rent, what types of rentals we would need, and kept us on track with getting all the vendors we needed. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, Katelynn contacted all of our vendors and coordinated their arrival and ending times, and she was there the day before to help set up all of our rentals. Her timeline was specific and organized and we didn't have to think of anything except enjoying ourselves on the day of our wedding, she and her assistant handled everything! It was also great that she was at our rehearsal to ease our minds. Overall, I would definitely recommend Katelynn for your wedding planning needs!

Most impressive was Katelynn's execution of our dream wedding. We had some complicated logistics to navigate (different ceremony/reception sites, city permits, even boat travel for the wedding party!). Katelynn and her assistants made sure the day went off without a hitch. Everything was in the right location at the right time, and no one asked me (the bride) for clarification. We were able to relax and enjoy the day.
We're so grateful for everything Katelynn has done to make our wedding the best and most stress-free day we could have imagined!!

Katelynn and her assistant Damaris were absolute ROCKSTARS on the day of our wedding. We hired Own the Day Events for month-of wedding coordination, and it was such a great decisio...

Whether the issue was needing tents, needing chairs for our sweetheart table, or needing to pass out umbrellas to our guests when it started raining at our outdoor wedding, Katelynn and Damaris were there for us! I also lost my purse and cell phone at one point, and Damaris found it in one of the cars for me. Best. Decision. Ever. (And also...sorry for my overdramatic mother and some of our more tipsy wedding guests!) But really, if you're on the fence, hire Own the Day Events. They're absolutely wonderful! Our wedding day was so beautiful, I wish I could go back and relive it over and over. They also took the decor we purchased and executed our ideas perfectly. It was so lovely. Thank you so much, Katelynn!!! I'd hire them again in a heartbeat, and I'd recommend them to literally anyone hosting an event.

Katelynn saved our wedding day! Thanks to her, I felt so much more confident as the bride having a #2 ensuring everything necessary was getting done behind the scenes while I prepp...
ed for go time. She even came in as clutch to offer up some much needed last minute liquid courage as well as completely went the extra mile in ensuring the success of our after party transportation after unexpected difficulty. You truly have no idea what could come up when the big day actually comes, no matter how much you think you planned. We fully recommend a day of coordinator, and specifically Katelynn if you’re so lucky! <3

Katelynn was a great day-of wedding coordinator. We also hired her to help with the design aspect and she helped research the style I was looking for and put together mood boards. ...
She is punctual with meetings and responds in a timely manner. Because of COVID, we had to reschedule our wedding and she was accommodating to that. On the day of the wedding, she was very much present and making sure we were following our timeline. She executed the day very well. She was a great choice and we were so happy she was there on our big day!

Katelynn was such a blessing to have on our wedding day. From the moment I met with her for a meeting, I knew she was someone special, she has an amazing calming presence. The da...
y of my wedding we had rain, wind, storms, you name it! She never seemed rattled or nervous, and she was there ever step of the way! She fixed my dress prior to the wedding after the hook and eye broke, she untangled my necklace, she helped me bustle my soaked wedding dress, she helped everyone with anything they needed, and she even had to re-set our formal table 3 times from inside to outside to inside due to the rain. While I felt panicked, she kept saying everything is ok! Our wedding would of not been the same with out her. I would recommend Katelynn 100%%:)

elping the bride get ready (with mishaps like broken snap on dress and knot in her new necklace, drying her dress with hair dryer), tending to guests, setting tables to taking them in to dry off from rain to resetting again and again. She was so kind and helpful to everyone and always with a smile. I could have never pulled the day off without her.

When it came time to plan my wedding, I knew I had all these ideas, especially my Pinterest board of anything I ever saw that I wanted on my big day. But hiring Katelynn was one o...
f the best decisions I made to make it the most special day for myself, family and friends. Her expertise and eye to details truly brought my day to the next level, not to mention I didn't have to run around like a chicken with my head cut off. It was so amazing to know that all the items I had over looked from pin to pin, she was there to fill in the gaps and make sure nothing was forgotten. If you want you wedding day to be a day you remember and not one that just flew by in the blink of an eye, you better get this team on your team! I was able to enjoy every moment of the day instead of worrying about the next room, or next event.
