Lead Planner

Hi, I'm Marykate! Owner and lead planner of Events by Marykate a wedding planning company based in the Tampa Bay area. With over a decade in the event industry, I started helping couples navigate the wedding industry because of the headaches I experienced during my own journey. With my combined corporate event and wedding industry expertise, I'm passionate about helping you understand budgeting, navigating vendor pricing, logistics, and taking the confusion out of the planning process. I know how overwhelming it can all feel. Your wedding is one-of-a-kind, and your planning experience should reflect that. 🥂

With my unique blend of one-on-one planning & custom design we focus on making your day uniquely yours. Instead of being overwhelmed by endless to-do lists and conflicting information, picture yourself with your event planner by your side, discussing your big day over a delightful cup of coffee and a rock solid budget ✨ From custom table numbers, to engraved wine glass charms, we also assist in creating custom items to help elevate your day without breaking the bank. So, if you're ready for personalized, expert support and help navigating the wedding pricing world then we can't wait to meet you! 💌

In three words: Innovative, Organized, Supportive

I can’t say enough good things about Marykate! She was highly attentive and always followed up to keep everything on track without me having to check in with her first. I had so much fun planning my wedding with her by my side and would definitely recommend working with her if you are looking for a planner who cares about your wedding just as much as you do!
Made planning fun!

I’m so glad I used Events by Marykate! I was really overwhelmed by everything that went into planning my wedding, but Marykate made it so easy. She guided me through the whole process and made sure every detail was to my liking. Thanks to her, I got the wedding I’ve always imagined, while staying in budget (which made my hubby happy). I can’t recommend her enough, a true gem!
Always on top of it!

After working with Marykate for nearly a decade it is no surprise she continues to thrive as a top notch event planner! Always organized, attentive and most importantly level headed no matter what is thrown her way. She is a joy to work with whether it is a small social gathering or a full scale gala Marykate is always on the top of my list!
