I hate leaving bad reviews, but it must be done to warn other brides. Less than four weeks before my wedding, Kate sent a text message backing out of my wedding. Any bride knows the stress of the last month of wedding planning, and to have this happen is disappointing. I was utterly disappointed and disrespected. Never have I been given any explanation as to why this happened. Instead, Kate had thrown my onsite coordinator under the bus and repeatedly reminded me of how far my wedding venue was for the two meetings she had to attend. I completely understand that some people do not like long drives, and it would have been perfectly okay if she had said she couldn’t work with me after the first call I had with her as my wedding venue was too far. Common courtesy would be giving your client a call, not a cold text message backing out mere weeks before the event, and a partial refund.
Some details: I reached out to Kate over a year before my wedding date to receive some information about services. After our first call, we have both decided it would be best that instead of a full service it made more sense for her and the team to have provide Wedding Planning Day Of Package + Decor Design. We had three virtual meetings (two of which Kate was not on the call for) and two in-person meetings at the venue. At no point during the almost year and a half of planning and having them on my wedding team were there any signs or issues that were brought to my attention.
Kate was on point, quick to respond and engage with our last minute event and unexpected plans change (can you say cicadas?). Love Kate, she worked with us, handled our new geographic location, and over-served guests, with grace yet a firm-enough hand.
tl;dr: talented, professional, kind/supportive, collaborative, creative, great problem-solving, intelligent & knowledgeable about wedding industry, great communicator, organized, personable, efficient, & reasonable price
Kate Lacy (and her team) was such a blessing during this whole wedding planning process. Kate's professionalism, knowledge about the industry, quick problem solving skills, and calm & kind demeanor make her a fantastic advocate & compassionate support for any wedding couple. Kate helped my husband & I have a wonderful and damn near perfect wedding (if I do say so myself). I really cannot recommend Kate & KL Creative Planning enough - Thank you Kate! Love ya!!
Kate did a great job with smoothly planning and coordinating my wedding in a very limited time frame!
I could sing Kate’s praises all day everyday. My wedding was absolutely perfect. There of course was a couple hiccups but that comes with throwing a wedding. Having her and her team as wedding planners made planning a wedding a little less stressful than I think it would have been. She made sure to check in with me once a month and more often then that as the wedding got closer. I felt like they had everything under control. I appreciate everything they did for me. You will not be disappointed with Kate as your wedding planner/day of coordinator.
Kate and her team were so helpful the day of the wedding. She took care of every detail and made sure the timeline flowed seamlessly through the day. I was able to fully enjoy my wedding without a single worry. Would highly recommend for any bride to use her!
Kate was incredibly helpful throughout the ENTIRE wedding planning process from start to finish. Kate turned a full on hurricane into the most perfect wedding weather. She ensured a seamless day and handled everything. She is the reason I was able to fully enjoy my day and not worry about a thing!
Kate went above and beyond for me, doing so much more than I could have ever asked of her, and it’s because she does what she loves! It makes all the difference in the world. Kate is punctual, communicative, and pays attention to the little details. She made sure everything was exactly as I wanted it to be. She made my wedding day an absolute dream come true! I highly recommend using Kate for your wedding!
Kate did an absolutely amazing job coordinating my wedding! From the very start of planning, Kate was very organized, professional and always on top of everything- I knew I could put my full trust in her. My wedding day was a dream and everything I could have asked for- thanks to Kate, I felt relaxed and stress free all day because I knew she had everything running smoothly. If I could give a million stars I would!
