Thanks to recommendations from couples on The Knot
Hi! My name is Katelyn Madden, owner of Peonies & Pearls Weddings based in Dallas, TX and I have a passion for serving brides by walking alongside them as I help them plan their special day. I fell in love with weddings when I was in high school because I watched Say Yes to the Dress. I then got to plan my first wedding at 18 years old and the rest was history! I launched my company in 2018 with the desire to help as many brides as I can with planning, designing, and bringing their ideas and visions to life. I love my job because it allows me to work with couples for awhile and we become friends by the time of their wedding! I love when a bride comes with many ideas and I get to work with her on expanding on her vision to make her day more magical than she originally had planned and then bringing this vision to life. I love being able to take what seems like a daunting process of planning a wedding and turning into an enjoyable, step-by-step process for each of my couples. I love the friendships that grow and the marriage I get to see come to life on their big day!
I offer three different types of planning: Month-Of Coordination, Partial Service Coordination, and Full Service Coordination. With these different types of coordination, I offer design creation, week by week planning timelines, crafting, vendor lists and meetings as well as many more features! I enjoy building lifelong friendships as we plan your special day together!
I can't wait to meet you and hear all about your special day!
Love,
Katelyn Madden

Katelyn is amazing! Look no further for a professional, friendly and thoughtful wedding planner. She made our wedding year feel much more seamless. All of the planning and details take so much time to implement, but my husband and I always felt like we were in great hands with Peonies & Pearls. She replies quickly, is extremely organized and has the ability to see big picture while remaining detail oriented. We are so grateful that we prepared for our big day with the very best! Even our family and friends were so impressed with her work ethic and excellent service!

I highly recommend the team at Peonies & Pearls for your wedding planning needs! Katelyn was awesome to work with. We signed up for Katelyn's partial planning services, and we are so thankful for the direction and support she provided. Katelyn helped us stay on track every step of the way and helped us think about small details we may have entirely missed had it not been for her! Katelyn helped us craft a wedding/reception timeline down to the minute, which is something we would have really struggled with on our own. She also handled all vendor communications as needed and provided recommendations when we were stuck on any decisions.
I can't recommend Peonies & Pearls enough, they helped make our wedding a picture perfect day to be remembered!

Peonies and Pearls truly went above and beyond to bring our vision to life, offering creative solutions and expert advice every step of the way. Their passion for what they do shines through in their work, and it's evident that they genuinely care about making each couple's day unforgettable. We're so grateful for their dedication and expertise, and we wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a stress-free and magical wedding planning experience.

Katelyn has been absolutely amazing! She spent over a year and a half helping me plan my wedding and no detail went unnoticed. She helped with everything from vendor selection, tips and DIY tricks and even went so far as to make the signs for our day with her cricut!

Katelyn was amazing!! She was ontop of all communication with our vendors and the timeline she created was perfect! I thought that the morning of my wedding would be spent decorating and setting up, however, Katelyn handled everything! My day was stress free because of her! Everything turned out exactly how we wanted it, and then some! She was efficient, timely, responsive, and had excellent communication. I definitely recommend her to everyone!!

Look no further, owner Katelyn of Peonies & Pearls Weddings is the wedding planner for you! The moment I had my first consultation meeting with her, I knew instantly that she was the right planner for us. She was kind, organized, and knowledgeable about wedding planning and everything that comes with it.
Our wedding day was flawless! If there were any hiccups at any point, my husband and I would not know and will never know because she took care of absolutely everything.
Qualities that Katelyn possesses:
-Organized
-Incredible time management
-Gave appropriate advice that met with our needs and budget
-Timely communication and responded back to emails within 24 hrs or less
-Most importantly, she made us feel special and took the stress and pressure off of us in order to enjoy our wedding
P.S. Because of Katelyn's recommendations, we found the right pastor to marry us and we finally have a church that we belong to.

Katelyn is incredible. Awesome attention to detail, works super hard, and does all she can to keep the bride and groom sane (genuinely, we had a pretty big wedding with a lot of moving parts)! She is super kind but gets things done. No joke, she patiently attended to a 150+ email exchange with the train-wreck manager of our wedding band to make sure he knew what was needed from them. Absolutely incredible wedding planner.

Katelyn was a DREAM COORDINATOR. My husband and I are both band directors, and really needed someone who understood our vision, kept us on track, and took the brunt of the work load. Everything was seamless, calculated, and so incredibly organized, and we wouldn't have been able to have this kind of day without her.

Katelyn was amazing!
We recruited Katelyn to help with our wedding less than 3 months out as we were lost and needed further assistance in identifying the small details.
Katelyn came prepared to every meeting, encouraged us to do our homework and helped corral us into having an amazing wedding.
She is incredibly detail oriented, focused, and was willing to do anything to ensure that we had a happy day (before and after) going way above and beyond. We couldn't have been happier with our choice in her services.

I have attended several weddings that Katelyn has had a hand in, either as a day of coordinator or a planner who worked with the bride for months before her big day, and I have always been incredibly impressed with Katelyn’s professionalism and dedication. I have never seen the same level of attention to detail and willingness to go above and beyond for her clients, especially in the realm of decor: I was amazed to see how gorgeous her hand-crafted decorations turned out. She’s always going one step further than what is asked or expected. For instance, she’s taken it upon herself to learn new skills such as floral arranging in order to be able to help her brides beyond the normal duties I associate with strictly wedding planning and coordinating. She is one of the most organized people I have ever met and is constantly thinking ahead and streamlining all the processes with detailed lists and schedules that make both wedding planning and the day-of roll out as seamless and stress-free for the happy couple as possible. If/when I get married, there is no one I would trust more to help me celebrate than Peonies and Pearls.

As someone who has observed Katelyn's work, I can honestly say she is very passionate about making couples' wedding visions come to life. One of the standout aspects of her planning and work ethic is seeing all the time and effort she is willing to put into making sure everything is as it should be on your big day. From big things like managing vendors all the way to the smallest table decoration, she can do it all. She also has an amazing artistic eye which can be easily seen in her hand-crafted wedding decorations and overall wedding setups. It's easy to say that if you work with Katelyn you will be working with an incredibly reliable, hardworking, and organized individual. There's no way you can go wrong working with her!

I've worked with Katelyn as a vendor for several weddings, and I can't recommend her enough. She's been in the world of weddings since well before starting her business, so she has wisdom beyond her years. Her priority is always to do what's best for the couple she's serving, but working with her as a vendor, I can tell you she doesn't cut corners to make that happen. She is incredibly thorough and organized, keeping everyone on the same page. She's also one of the sweetest, kindest, most thoughtful people I know.

As soon as my daughter was engaged, we hired Katelyn as our wedding planner. It was a great decision.
Katelyn is extremely organized, communicates effectively and made this mother of the bride’s life much easier.
Katelyn scheduled regular meetings with the bride and groom. Met with our vendors and reviewed vendor contracts. She asked important clarifying questions of us and our vendors so we were all in agreement.
Katelyn provided timelines which helped us plan and stay on schedule.
She brought many details to our attention that we had not considered.
Katelyn provided a detailed timeline of the wedding and sent it to our vendors and the wedding party. She directed the rehearsal in a professional manner and made sure everyone knew their role.
The day of the wedding, Katelyn worked tirelessly to make sure all the decorations in the chapel and the reception area were perfect. She even enhanced some table arrangements with extra roses and baby’s breath.
She worked with our vendors to make sure we stayed on schedule. She distributed all tips in a discreet and timely manner.
Katelyn is a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Katelyn, she’s a professional and wonderful wedding planner.
