Hiring Katie to be our Day of Coordinator was hands down the best decision that we made for our wedding day, and was the reason why our day ran so seamlessly and perfectly. We had a very challenging timeline to create, due to our first look, ceremony, and reception locations all being different. This did not phase Katie at all and she worked with us to create an intricate and thorough timeline that enabled us to be totally at ease and present on our day and soak up every moment. Katie kept track of the vision I had for the wedding, all of our decor pieces, our priorities and needs for the day, and smoothed over any issues or potential trouble spots that our day presented. Katie offered to attend my Catholic Mass wedding ceremony rehearsal the night before our wedding, on her own time, and is a huge reason why our ceremony turned out so beautifully. She lined everyone in the wedding party up and ensured that everything would run smoothly the next day. This was so valuable to have for my peace of mind as a Bride. Katie also offered to drive (in her own car!) floral arrangements that were to be repurposed from the church to the reception venue. This was a huge weight lifted. When our reception venue told us two weeks before our wedding that they would not be able to set our tables as planned, Katie and her assistant stepped up and went to our venue the morning of our wedding to help our family members decorate the venue (she even offered to decorate everything herself, but we had an Aunt that wanted to help as well!). This included placing bud vases, candles, and place cards for 20 tables, in addition to adding beautiful touches throughout the venue and executing my vision perfectly. Even with being a control freak, I did not worry at all the morning of my wedding because I knew that Katie was at my venue helping my loved ones turn my dreams into reality. Throughout the reception, I was very nauseous due to nerves (happy nerves!) and all of the emotions of the day. Katie was such a calming presence during this moment and ensured that I was hydrated, utilized her wedding emergency kit for nausea remedies such as ginger, and more. For any issue that could potentially occur, Katie was already prepared with a plan B and a positive attitude. If you are someone who does not want to hire a wedding planner, but wants to feel the security of knowing that someone has your back every step of the way during those last couple of months leading up to the day, HIRE KATIE. She is without a doubt the most genuine, kind, sweet, and warm soul who will advocate for you and your wedding dreams every step of the way. We are endlessly grateful.

We could not have picked a better wedding planner than Katie. She was so friendly and easy to talk to. Willing to and help with whatever we needed. She was there along the way to make sure everything was covered. On the day of our wedding everything was arranged and set up so perfectly. I was so nervous that what I pictured for my wedding wouldn’t happen, but Katie did it and did it better than I could have imagined! We were so so happy. Katie is amazing! Thank you !!

The day of was absolutely PERFECT all because of Katie and her team. They executed our vision perfectly: from the ceremony set up to the reception and table decor, it was flawless and everything we hoped it would be and more. Katie ensured the day ran smoothly and was always there for us throughout the event. Whatever we needed Katie was there! She truly was the most important vendor to us- we talk often about how thankful we are to our have booked her. We can’t recommend her enough! Hire her! you truly won’t regret it!!

Katie is amazing! She helped me to plan my wedding and allow me to truly enjoy my day while she took care of everything from start to finish of the day. She was there to tour the venue a few times and called me for a check in as needed throughout planning to make sure we were always on the same page. My style was more eclectic than most on their wedding day and she made my vision come true from table decor to cocktail hour set up. Katie is thorough and made sure every detail was planned out before so nothing was missed. She was able to set me up with some good decor vendors and got in contact with each of them prior to the event making my life easy! It couldn’t have gone any better and I would recommend that’s darling events to anyone!

Katie was our day of coordinator, and she was fabulous. Leading up to our wedding, she did an excellent job corralling all of our vendors and making sure we could fit every important moment into our day. During our day of, we had a few hiccups with our venue, and Katie expertly navigated us through every bump in the road and kept the ship afloat. She kept open communication with us from the day we booked her throughout our whole engagement (even during her maternity leave!) and made sure we knew she had our backs. Katie remained calm, patient and optimistic even when I was still finishing writing out my place cards 15 minutes before the ceremony began, which I believe may qualify her for sainthood. We wholeheartedly recommend her and her team!

Katie was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day! From the first call, I knew that she was the right choice for us. She has such a calming presence that any stress I had melted away. You can tell she has a lot of experience in the industry and is incredibly organized. We ended up going with a partial planning package, and she was very helpful finding vendors and answering all the questions we had throughout the process. Leading up to the wedding, we had multiple conversations on details, set up, and preferences that allowed us to not worry about the small things and just enjoy the day. Everything felt so seamless and almost too easy with Katie! We would highly recommend working with her to anyone looking for a planner!

Katie was so awesome to work with! She has a calming energy that is so welcomed during the planning process and on the day of. I did the Dreamy Design and the Coordination package and Katie went above and beyond to have detailed meetings with me through the year leading up to our wedding! She also walked through my venue with me even though she was located an hour away! She was so helpful and patient with me bouncing off ideas and letting me ask SO many questions. She knew what my priorities were on the day of and really made sure they were executed. It was even more beautiful than I could have imagined! She also provided some amazing rental items (like the STUNNING COOKIE WALL) that helped us save money and bring our vision to life! I am so glad I found her on the Knot and would recommend her to everyone.

We don't know what we would have done without her guidance and help throughout our planning process. Our meetings before were so detailed, and put me at ease when I needed it most. Our wedding celebration was so magical because of Katie and her team! All of the details were perfect, and you could see how hard they worked to put it altogether. It truly was a whimsical garden fairytale, and we could not have made the day happen without them. Thank you so much, Katie, we both are so grateful for everything you have done for us!

Hiring Katie was the best decision we could have made for our wedding! We hired her for vendor management and day of coordination. We had a fusion Hindu wedding and she was great at guiding us in choosing our vendors. She's been great at communication and organization. I trusted her experience with vendors and I'm so glad I did! I loved our photographer and venue so much and there's no way I would have been able to find them without Katie. I'm so happy with the decisions we've made and thankful to Katie for helping us bring our vision to life!

If you're in the market for a wedding planner, look no further than Katie! She is simply amazing. From the moment we met her, we knew she was going to be the perfect person to help us plan our special day. She is thoughtful, organized, and found all the best vendors to make our wedding day perfect.
Throughout the planning process, Katie checked in constantly to ensure everything was on track and to see if we needed any help. She was always available to answer questions and provide guidance, which was such a huge relief for us.
On the day of the wedding, having Katie and her assistant there was such a weight off our shoulders. They handled everything, from the morning getting ready photos to the late night snacks. We were able to fully enjoy our day without worrying about a thing.
As someone who isn't a natural at planning big events, Katie made everything so easy for us. She helped us every step of the way and made sure we didn't forget any important details.
Overall, we couldn't be happier with our experience with Katie. She is professional, knowledgeable, and truly cares about making your special day perfect. If you're looking for a wedding planner, hire Katie now - you won't regret it!

Hiring Katie was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding - she is excellent at what she does and super easy to work with! Not only did she create and bring to life the most beautiful design board (our florist had even complimented it), but she also managed all the coordination for our vendors leading up to and on the day of our wedding. It was a huge relief knowing all the details of the day were thoughtfully organized, planned out and well under control so we literally did not have to worry about anything other than enjoying our wedding day. Highly recommend Katie!! She is amazing.

Where to start... Katie and her team were PHENOMENAL. From the very beginning, helping us pick vendors, to communicating with all of the vendors throughout the year leading to the wedding, and down to every last detail on the day of - she made sure it was perfect. She communicated with all of our vendors continuously, dealing with all of the minute details that I did not want to deal with (or have the time to), and asked all the questions I would never have known to ask to make sure everything ran smoothly the day of. She created a very detailed timeline to keep us on track, and her team executed my vision perfectly the day-of. I could not have asked for a better wedding planner. Everything went so seamlessly!

money by hiring her), find and communicate with excellent vendors like our band and florist, and made a very detailed timeline to make sure the whole thing went smoothly. She and her assistant were also awesome on the day of the wedding with set-up and break down. Multiple people told

Hiring Katie was the BEST decision we made in our wedding planning process. We started wedding planning in the fall of 2020 with the hope of having our wedding in 2021. We researched several wedding planners because we really had no idea where to get started or what we might be looking for. Katie was incredibly prompt and professional during our initial calls and one thing that set her apart from the other planners is that she was willing to put together a customized package based on our planning needs. Most planners had a very structured set of pricing and services but Katie listened to what we needed as a couple and presented us with a custom proposal to fit our needs.
She went above and beyond during the planning process especially since we changed our vision and dates a few times! And in light of COVID, she was incredibly helpful and reassuring given the many variables and unknowns. She really gave us 110% of her time, focus and energy. She is also an expert in the space so she had a ton of referrals for quality vendors which was incredibly helpful.
Having her with us on the actual day was a god send. You don’t realize how many logistical details you’ll have to think about the weekend of your big day. And having a venue coordinator is great but there are so many other elements to making your day relaxing, enjoyable and stress-free and Katie handled all of those. Seriously, the best investment we made!
Katie is warm, calm, and very organized. But what makes Katie special as a wedding planner is that she was incredibly personal in her approach to planning our wedding. She was always reachable, attentive, and never made us feel like we were overstepping because she cared about wedding as much as we did. 10/10 would recommend!

Katie is INCREDIBLE!!! I'll be honest, my husband and I were so lost with wedding planning, I was sure we weren't going to pull it together, even just finding a wedding planner was a slow process for us. Katie came along and super calmly helped us through the process. She's super understanding of personal preferences and really helped us stay on track. I truly couldn't believe how smoothly everything came together, I fully enjoyed my wedding and wasn't stressed about anything. I absolutely recommend her!

Booking That's Darling Events was the best choice I made in the process of wedding planning. I used two of their services: The Darling Details and Dreamy Design packages. Katie coordinated both packages and was an incredibly kind, approachable, and communicative professional. She supported me as I contacted vendors, determined color scheme and theme, and navigated the wedding day timeline. She was flexible with my schedule and prioritized me as a client. We met regularly to plan and discuss my needs, and I felt very comfortable in reaching out to her whenever I had a question.
On the wedding day itself, Katie was there to oversee decorations, timeline, vendor arrivals, and the minute details that made the day special! She helped me stay calm (which can be hard as a bride) and was there to make sure all was as it should be. I could not be more grateful for her support in making my wedding day so wonderful! Everything was perfect!

She worked with us for over a year to make our vision come to reality from changing of color pallets two months before the event to making sure our ceremony was outside even when it rained up to an hour before the ceremony! I could not have asked for anything better that day and the year prior. Her and her team even steamed my gown when I would come in from photos so everything looked perfect!

SO glad that I had Katie as the coordinator for my wedding in September. It was such a relief to know that I had someone on my team that day to handle the details you just don't think about - like getting the boutonnieres to the Groom/Groomsmen. Katie was a total professional and made the day run easy/smoothly. She also was amazing to work with when anything and everything went wrong with COVID/The Delta variant. In the few weeks leading up to my wedding, it felt as if everything was going wrong. Katie made herself available, answered every panicked text and call, and was an amazing sounding board. I couldn't have done it without her. On the day of, she and Jessica were amazing to be around. Would definitely recommend hiring Katie for your wedding!!!

Katie was an absolute dream to work with! After canceling our big, 200 person wedding and deciding to get married in our parents backyard (in 4 months) we knew we needed some help! That’s were Katie came in. From the very beginning, Katie saw our vision and helped guide us in ever single aspect of the planning process. Katie did an initial site visit and then worked behind the scenes researching vendors that worked with our budget and the space. Katie was always available and was very prompt with responding to any questions we had. She kept us super organized. As the wedding got closer, Katie coordinated absolutely everything with our vendors and created a wedding day timeline so we did not even have to think about it. The day of the wedding, we felt extremely at ease knowing Katie was there to make sure everything ran on time and smoothly. It was the absolute best day and I know we could not have done it without Katie. She truly made our backyard wedding dreams come true.

Katie was truly the best ever!! We could not have made our day happen so seamlessly and stress-free without her. She was there to smooth out every bump along the road, and really helped calm everyone as we navigated our ever changing circumstances in a "COVID wedding".
Her constant communication, organization and willingness to assist where needed was such a huge help to my family and I. We are so thankful for her hand as we look back on our day, and it was truly perfect. She was so level headed but truly excited for our day, and was the perfect person to help us. We are incredibly thankful for her and so grateful for her to have shared our day with her. We cannot recommend her enough!!! Thank you, Katie!!!

Simply put -- Katie is AMAZING! To start, we planned our wedding in Villanova from Omaha, NE. I am not really from the area so I just searched for Katie and found her through theknot.com. I interviewed several other wedding planners, and Katie seemed the most laid back, while still being very detail-oriented. I really liked her energy and thought she would be able to help keep me calm on our wedding day. She did not disappoint! Leading up to the wedding, she had several calls with us to make sure everything was on track and reminded me of little details that I missed. She connected me with the best vendors, including Creamery Hill (@creameryhill) and The Stem's End (@thestemsend) -- both who were amazing!! The day of the wedding everything ran perfectly! Katie coordinated all the vendors and made sure everything was stress-free for the bride and groom. She even went above and beyond and picked up flowers for the bridal party to wear in their hair the day before the wedding. I cannot recommend Katie highly enough! She did such an amazing job, and we were so lucky to have her as part of our wedding!

Katie was the absolute best! She was very helpful from the very start especially with Covid-19 taking place. It was definitely stressful because of that but she was always positive about everything. Our special day was stress free because of her taking care of everything from setting up and helping after our send off. If you are looking for a wedding planner, she is the one for you! Thanks again Katie!

Katie was absolutely wonderful to work with and made our day a DREAM! I reached out to her when our large wedding had to be cut to a backyard micro wedding due to COVID-19. I was panicked about planning another day for us and wanted it to be absolutely perfect. Katie did EXACTLY that! She took an active role in helping us plan our day since the beginning. Katie has amazing style. Not only did she help to streamline my ideas into one (gorgeous and dreamy) cohesive theme- she made a design board to help us visualize each piece of the wedding individually and eventually worked with us to make that come to life. Katie was VERY organized, responsive, timely, and supportive. She helped us find rentals, vendors, small detail and larger decorations that made our wedding look like a pinterest board. She talked through the wedding day logistics and wedding ceremony timeline and they all ran smoothly according to plan. The stress of planning a wedding in under 3 months was made so much easier having her. She has a great eye for design- On the day of the wedding her and her assistant set up both the reception and ceremony site- I cried when I saw how beautiful it was. Her services throughout it all left us relaxed and able to fully enjoy our wedding day. She is a sweet, claiming and creative presence to have on your side when planning your wedding - I would definitely recommend That's Darling Events to anyone!

Katie was the absolute best to work with! I reached out to Katie last fall about our July 2020 wedding. She reached out often to check in and talk about what I was visioning for our special day. Then Covid came. Katie kept me looking on the positive side and worked with me as we decided to keep pushing forward with our July wedding. 3 days before our big day, we found out we would have to move our wedding reception outside. As I sat in the hair salon crying, Katie again kept the positive attitude and said we would figure it out. She reached out to our new venue and worked hard to get everything planned. There is no way I could have planned a wedding without Katie. My now husband and I will forever be grateful that we met Katie and all the time and hard work she put into making our day the most special day ever!

My husband and I have three daughters. When the oldest got married we had no wedding planner/coordinator. We tried to handle all the details ourselves and it was overwhelming. When our middle daughter got married we hired Katie. Wow, what a difference. Katie handled every detail from coordinating the wedding rehearsal and ceremony, decorating details, band set up, assisting the caterer , to locking up the venue we rented at the end of the evening. Every-time we had a concern Katie would smile and say “No worries, I’ll take care of it” and she did. My husband and I were able to thoroughly enjoy ourselves. We danced the night away and were able to visit with family and friends. Our youngest daughter recently got engaged. Wedding planning is in full swing. The first call we made was to Katie.
