Can I get more than 3500 characters and married 20 more times to my husband just so I can sing my praises to KATIE and work with her again and again? Not only is Katie one of the most kind, sweet, warm, hilarious people (and now friend), she is also a saint and a professional to the core. Katie was a dream. I sound a bit hyperbolic perhaps to the non believers, but feel free to ask Katie for my information and I can tell you over the phone. HIRING KATIE WAS THE BEST DECISION WE MADE DURING OUR ENTIRE 18 MONTH WEDDING PLANNING PROCESS. We trusted Katie to help bring our vision with a very difficult venue choice (a great choice, but with a ton of restrictions) to life. She did that, plus so much more.

Here are a couple things you should know:

#1 She will fight for you HARD: We had a couple of rough weeks there where we weren’t sure if we made the right choice with venue simply because one vendor was acting stubborn (we ended up LOVING our venue, but make sure you check and like all the required vendors before you book!). Katie kept promising me that it would all work out and that she wouldn’t let the situation go until we were happy. She was a true champion and in the end we were thrilled with the results.

#2 She is CREATIVE: I had a very specific vision and Katie was all on board, however her expertise gave her the opportunity to make suggestions I hadn’t even considered. It was refreshing to have someone who wasn’t just saying “yes yes yes” all the time, but was willing to step in and say “hey, have you thought about this an an option?”.

#3 She LISTENS: It was clear throughout the entire process that this was OUR wedding and not Katie’s. Not once did we feel like we weren’t being heard or that she was trying to create something that wasn’t authentic to us a couple. My family was super involved in the process and she did (at times!) help mediate some tough discussions - you really need that in a planner, a true unbiased “voice of reason” if you will. And Katie was just that.

Katie, my darling, you are an angel!!! We are so lucky that you were a part of this experience.

Seriously, if you have the option to go all out with Kirkbrides spend the dollars, you will not regret it and try (if you can, although I’m sure all the planners on Val’s team are amazing) to cash in your golden ticket and snag Katie.
