Purple Clover Events

Kate and her team are amazing to work with! She is organized, creative, and so sweet. She will exceed your expectations and help you to enjoy your day, knowing she has it all covered.

Kate at Purple Clover Events is THE BEST decision we made while planning our wedding. We hired her for the day of coordination with some extra sessions before hand to plan accordingly for our unique venue site. We had our wedding at the Royal Oak Farmers Market, which required us to bring in 100% of our vendors. Without Kate helping through organization, contracts, checklists, set up, tear down, and all around support...our wedding would of been a mess. She was this person we could email or call up and ask for help when we would get stuck. Whenever we met with Kate we always walked away calm and excited, feeling like no matter what happened, the day would run smooth with her running the show. It went so smooth, I can't think of one negative that went wrong. Even if there was an issue, it was taken care of by Kate and her team without it even hitting our radar. We got to sit back and enjoy our wedding without any worry. Which is all anyone could want on their wedding day. She totally understood my vision for the day and nailed it when she set up our wedding decor we had made, it was BEAUTIFUL! I will never forget the calm she brought us during the craziness of planning a wedding. The moment my husband and I left our first meeting with Kate we knew we HAD to hire her. Endless thank you's to Kate and her team at Purple Clover, if I had to do all of it over again I wouldn't change a thing.

DO NOT plan your wedding without letting Purple Clover help you! The absolute best part of our wedding day was not having to worry about a single thing except enjoying the time to celebrate with our friends and family - our day of coordinator, Samantha, took care of everything. It feels completely inadequate to call the level of service Purple Clover provided simply "day of coordination." Kate and Samantha helped us find the perfect vendors, keep track of all of our contracts and payments, plan our wedding day timeline, and acted as a direct line of communication between all of our vendors. We honestly never felt stressed during the entire wedding planning process because of how competent Samantha and Kate are. When I returned to work after our wedding, a coworker asked me, "So what went wrong? Something ALWAYS goes wrong." I couldn't think of a single thing. If anything went wrong that day, Samantha did a phenomenal job handling it, and we never found out about it. Even if you don't need full scale wedding planning, investing in a day of coordinator is something I would strongly recommend - and the team at Purple Clover is the best!

Kate and team at Purple Clover events is fantastic!!! We hired her to be our day of coordinator but she started working with us months before the wedding. She was very responsive to emails and thorough about every detail of the wedding, many details I know would've been overlooked without her help. She coordinated all logistics with the vendors and ensured that we could truly enjoy our day. Most people say that something is bound to go wrong on your wedding day, but I can honestly say that our day was absolutely flawless, stress free and executed perfectly all thanks to Kate!! I am so grateful for all of the planning and organization that Kate did to help make our day so special, I know we could never have done it without her! If there is one thing you should spend your money for the wedding, its purple clover! You will truly be a guest at your own wedding and be able to enjoy every moment of your day!

Kate was organized prior to the big day. Communication so so through emails and text messages. Sadly the big day was not the organized nonstress day we had hoped. The church was completely unorganized which was disappointing. The reception was set up beautifully with a couple things forgotten. Did not meet up to my expectations overall and follow up from this vendor was also disappointing.

Kate is a SUPER STAR!!!! From beginning to end she will give you 110%. Professional, enthusiastic, dependable and caring. She will be your best friend before its over! Kate as my Day of coordinator.... Best decision ever!

We could not have had the wedding we had without the help of Kate and Purple Clover Events staff. With a difficult venue like Belle Isle, we needed someone who could coordinate all the vendors and install decor on our big day. Kate did a fantastic job of formulating a day-of timeline, ensuring that all our vendors knew where to go and when, and that the reception site looked amazing. I'd highly recommend Purple Clover Events!

We could not have pulled off our wedding day without our day-of coordinator, Rachel and her team from Purple Clover Events. The best money we spent was hiring her! Rachel was extremely thorough during our meeting to go over logistics and planning, and thought of questions that we would have never considered. The wedding day went flawlessly, and I really think much of that was because Rachel and her team were incredibly organized in making sure all the vendors were on time and in place, and that the flow of events went smoothly. I had to do nothing and I had nothing to worry about because I knew the day was in very good hands. I could enjoy my day and my guests, while Rachel and her team worked silently and efficiently in the background. My family also raved about how incredibly nice Rachel and her team were, and how pleasant they were to work with. I highly recommend the Purple Clover Team!

What a lifesaver! She took the stress away and made our special day seamless and beautiful.

Kate was a lifesaver - you definitely want her support! We used Kate as our day of coordinator and she was perfect! After we booked with her - she was available to help give us suggestions on different vendors she worked with and had good experience with (which was so helpful)! A couple weeks before the wedding she followed up with all our vendors to ensure everything was as it needed to be (this totally helped relieve some stress on my end). When we had our final detail meeting she went through the whole day and provided us a detailed timeline so the day of, we knew exactly where we needed to be / what we needed to be doing (she asked questions that we hadn’t thought of before, like did we want forks by the cake for after we cut it, etc.). Her and her team set up everything at our reception site and it was exactly as we wanted it – if there were any problems that arose, I have no clue because she handled it J Kate even stayed to the very end of the night to help pack up all our items. I honestly cannot say enough good things about her!

We are SO SO thrilled with the level of service that we got from Purple Clover and our lead planner Rachel! BEST decision we made in planning our wedding was to hire them! We had our wedding reception at Belle Isle Casino in Detroit, which is basically an empty space with no onsite personnel. It was so crucial that we hire a talented, professional, organized planner to execute our vision since we wouldn’t be there on the day of the wedding to handle any of it. Rachel was exactly that and more. We chose to have day-of coordination, which included SO much more than just set-up on the day of our wedding. We met with Rachel multiple times before the event, and through countless emails and phone calls, she was always available to give advice and guide us through the process. The final weeks before the wedding she saved us so much stress by contacting all the vendors, verifying and arranging timelines and details which seemed to change a million times and she stayed on top of all of it. Throughout the process she was pleasant, enthusiastic, sweet and fun. She put us at ease that our entire vision and coordination of multiple different aspects of this event would be exactly what we wanted. She came to our rehearsal the night before, loaded up her car with tons of décor and even stood up for me when the mean, horrible church lady coordinator tried to ruin everything. On the day of the wedding we arrived at our reception site to see our dreams had become reality, the site was beautiful, guests were happy and I breathed a huge sigh of relief. We had an incredible time as “guests at our own wedding” and everything ran smoothly. I’m sure there were issues behind the scenes that she handled and I will never know about them. She was there all night until the bitter end, packing her car up at midnight again with all my DIY décor and took it home until we could get it from her later. Rachel, from the bottom of my heart, a million thank yous! You rock!!

Kate was our Day-Of Coordinator, and I wish that I’d had her for all of the wedding planning! She says that she’ll make you feel like a guest at your wedding and she did exactly that. I had the challenge of planning my wedding from out of state with several trips to Michigan during the 16 months of planning, and from the beginning Kate was very accommodating with her schedule. Throughout the process she addressed all of my concerns, answered my many questions, and put me at ease from the moment we met until I had to say goodbye to her at the end of our reception. She was organized, prompt, extremely attentive to detail, and went well above and beyond the service level I’d expected from a Day-Of Coordinator. She was also very familiar with our venue, which was an added bonus (although I know that she’d have been just as wonderful if she hadn’t ever been there before). Thanks to her, we didn’t have any problems or issues with our wedding – she and her assistant were right there with safety pins when the fasteners on my bustle failed during the reception. On top of that, her personality is fantastic! I was comfortable with her immediately upon our first contact. She’s so friendly and fun, she makes you feel like more than a client – she makes you feel like a friend. She will make you feel like your wedding is the single most important event to her. I truly cannot say enough about her, she made our wedding day everything that we wanted it to be and more. I don’t know what I would have done without her. If I ever need to plan another event (or know someone who needs to plan one) you can be sure that the first call I make will be to Kate. If you’re looking for a coordinator, grab her for your wedding before someone else does!!

We asked Purple Clover Event (managed by Kate) for helping us to plan our wedding and to manage "everything" during the big day. Kate was more than helpful, Kate helped us to find a venue, and to find the vendors (catering, tent company...). Purple Clover Events was the best investment od the wedding, I truly believe that we could not have been in our budget for the wedding without it. We got amazing vendor (very good price for the service) and Kate helped us managing all the pre-wedding task and gave us very useful insight on what to expect through the adventure. The only small minus was that we (the fault is partially share between Kate and us) weren't clear enough on what to expect exactly for the day of the weeding, by that I believe that we should have been more detailed on what is her role and our task during the day of the wedding. I would recommend Purple Clover Events without any hesitation, as said before, it was the best investment for the wedding.

We enlisted Purple Clover late in the game because we had fallen behind and needed help catching up. Kate managed to help us catch up and also provided top notch services the day of the wedding and reception. She kept everyone and everything on schedule. Because of Kate we had nothing to worry about! The wedding and reception were perfect!

I was not sure about hiring a day-of coordinator since I didn't know the value of it. We ended up having our wedding at my parents home after our original venue fell through and my mother suggested we get a planner for the wedding day to relieve some stress. She called a few planners, and as soon as she talked to Kate she got wonderful vibes. Kate considers what YOU want for your wedding, not what the industry insists you have. She came to our first meeting equipped with a binder with worksheets she uses to step through every detail - a lot of details that I never would have thought of. Her organization and attention to detail in the months/weeks before the wedding pay off. She worked with our vendors to make sure the timeline makes sense and that everything is covered. My parents and I were able to truly enjoy ourselves the day of the wedding instead of worry about who was taking care of everything. Also, she clearly has a passion for what she does. It was a pleasure to work with her, and her joyful attitude made me and my husband even more excited about our wedding day.

I grumbled. I was the groom after all. I said my sister could help us out. I was crazy. Kate was a huge help and it would have been a ridiculous stressful mess to not have her helping to make sure the set up happened and that everything moved along. Kate asks a lot of questions that helps to clarify what you have and haven't gotten a handle on, and then helps you get a handle on them!

I will forever be grateful to Kate and her amazing planning team for helping to make our wedding so special. Hands down, Kate is the VERY best! Our day could not have been more perfect - and much of it was thanks to Kate's careful planning, thoughtfulness, attention to detail, and awesome talent at running weddings so smoothly. Our day went off without a hitch, all thanks to her help. It's truly not a surprise at all that Kate has 5 stars across the board. From the very beginning, Kate made everything so easy and seamless! When I first contacted her, she was so friendly, warm and down-to-earth, which is exactly what we were looking for. We brought Kate in to help with day-of coordination, but she really did so much more than that! Leading up to our big day, she met with us to do a walkthrough of our venue, and to learn all about our vision and details for the wedding. She was so genuine in getting to know us as a couple, which was very comforting. In addition to that meeting, she answered countless emails that I sent with my many questions, always having a great solution, recommendation, advice, etc. On the day of, Kate continued to impress. She ran our rehearsal the night before, and then flawlessly coordinated our ceremony, reception, and our very large bridal party for the wedding. Everything turned out so beautifully, the whole day ran smoothly, and we had the best celebration of our lives. Thank you so much for your constant assistance, hard work and support, Kate :) I would recommend Purple Clover Events to any bride in a heartbeat! It'll be the best decision you make while planning your wedding!

We were so fortunate to find Kate and hire her to provide day-of coordination for our daughter's wedding which was at our home. She attended to a myriad of details in a calm, professional and caring way. I was able to completely relax and soak up every moment of such an important day. Without Kate, I would have been a frazzled nerve, but every time I thought of something that needed to be done, Kate was already on it! She did everything from set up the table decorations to handle the flow of guests after the ceremony to start the fire in the fire pit to put away the leftovers and so many other things! I have told several people since the wedding that it was the best money we ever spent. If you can hire Kate to plan and coordinate your wedding, you will be amazed at what a difference it makes in your enjoyment of one of the most important events in your life. Kate, we can't thank you enough!

Kate is simply the best - a planner who went above and beyond the call of duty for our wedding on every front. Our lead time of about four months was very short, comparatively, to plan for our wedding and reception at the Ford Piquette Plant in Detroit. Despite that, Kate was reassuring, unfailingly organized, and on-task (more importantly, she kept us on-task!) for the entire planning process. We benefited greatly from her connections with other top-quality area vendors (we are still getting compliments on the food!) and she dealt with our last-minute requests right up to the vows with grace and efficiency. Thanks to her attention to every detail, there were really no problems at all other than those minor, unpredictable hitches that come up: When we were running late with other preparations the night before the wedding, she was able to very quickly find a salon that was open so that my wife could have her nails done. Overall, she was an absolute pleasure to work with - we could not have had the wedding we wanted without Kate!

.....literally only second to the decision to marry the love of your life! I planned our entire wedding and as the details started to mount, I began to stress about the execution. I certainly wanted to enjoy the day and did not want worry about all the details! So in comes Kate:) From the first day I talked to her on the phone I could tell that she was as detail oriented and organized as I was, so I knew she would be the perfect fit. She met with me on a couple occasions prior to the wedding to make sure all the details were clear and also helped significantly with suggestions for the ceremony (my aunt was ordained to marry us so her help with the ceremony was invaluable), general timeline and flow of the day (she formulated a full timeline for our day), and helped with so many other suggestions based on her experience with weddings. As the day approached she fully organized and coordinated our rehearsal and finally on our wedding day- I literally did not have to worry about a single thing! She made sure all the vendors and decorations were exactly how we had talked, kept track of our extremely large wedding party, and overall made everyone feel comfortable and calm so everyone could enjoy the wedding. If you want someone to make sure the most important day of your life goes exactly how you imagined then please look no further than Kate. You will not be disappointed!!!

I’m not sure how my wedding day would have happened without Kate. She was fantastic at pulling together all of the details and keeping things running smoothly on the day of the wedding. We were planning from out-of-state and Kate was really flexible to have both weekend morning meetings and phone meetings with us. It was also great to have Kate at the rehearsal the night before. I’m sure that all of the little mishaps that are bound to happen on a wedding day happened during our wedding, but I don’t even know what they were because she took care of and found a solution for everything. I had a blast dancing and chatting with people during my wedding and could only do that because I knew that Kate was taking care of everything. I didn’t think about the clean-up, and all of our special items were gathered up and delivered at the end of the night. Kate is truly worth every penny (and more)!

Kate is the best! I hired her for my day of coordination, and she went above and beyond her call of duty. My wedding had A LOT of specific details and Kate was on top of every single one. Being a control freak it was hard to let go, but I knew that with Kate in charge everything would go perfectly - and it did! Half way through dinner, our liquor ran out, and anticipating that this could have been a problem, Kate place a delivery order and had the bar restocked within minutes - no one ever knew, including myself! This is just one example of many! Do yourself a favor and hire Kate!

Kate was fantastic. I, like many brides, was on multiple wedding boards/forums, etc., while I was planning, and there were understandably many questions about whether day-of coordinators were worth it. I don’t know about others, but since I had Kate, my response every time was that they are worth every penny. And she was. From the first meeting that turned into a multi-hour conversation about just about everything, through her escorting me to our sedan for our ride to the hotel at the end of the big night, she handled everything neatly, kindly, and in a manner that made me feel at ease and totally assured that she had everything thought of, dealt with, and under control. I planned our wedding from about an hour and a half away and across a state line, which could have easily added to my stress, especially when issues arose, including our first florist flaking and canceling and a subsequent near-disaster with our church, and she was always there with advice, reassurance, and a kind word to keep me from freaking out completely. She was also very familiar with a number of our vendors, and their previous relationship also helped immensely, especially when trying to work on the timeline for the day and particularly vendor set-up times. I’m not sure I can adequately express my and my family’s gratitude or the peace of mind that having Kate’s help and guidance along the way and in charge from the rehearsal onwards gave all of us, but hopefully the above gives you an idea of what a wonderful person and invaluable planner she is.
