Hire THIS Coordinator !

My husband and I hired Katie to help us with our elopement, which probably was more of a mini wedding. It was the absolute best decision we made and even though Katie and I worked together up until the day of the wedding, on the actual day- my husband could not stop noticing how absolutely on point Katie was with all the details. It put him completely at ease and it meant for both of us that we didn't worry about any of the details and got to be present for our wedding. We both run logistics for our own companies in a way, but never a wedding and we had a ton of questions up to the last second. Katie was endlessly patient, kind, thoughtful and helpful and in moments when I truly felt decision fatigue I leaned into her suggestions when that made the most sense to me to trust her to guide me. We've been married for only a few weeks, and I'm finding myself still thankful for the small touches that Katie brought to the day. She helped me adjust my dress countless times because it was too big and instead of stressing, we just rezipped it. She literally RAN to get a different set of my shoes at one point so I wouldn't be in pain for the ceremony and she must have a 6th sense of where I had hidden them in my bag, in the limo. She also remembered small details, like to hand me my reading glasses to read the vows and to bring us a ceremonial item for our private vows filled with water. For the photos, she helped our photography team make many small adjustments and was there to fluff my train over and over. I felt like I had a best friend, a sister and a professional all wrapped up in one person for the day- not to say that those people should not also be invited but do not hesitate to hire Katie- you will have zero regrets. My suggestions to any bride working with Katie is to lean into her vendor suggestions, tell her where you are stuck when you first get stuck- don't wait! and be open to your letting someone else help. You don't have to do it all, Katie will have a clipboard with literally every detail so all you have to do is relax and get married.
Katie at Wildflower Elegant Events is a MUST!

I cannot recommend Katie and her team at Wildflower Elegant Events enough. I also want to start this review by saying that I didn't even think I needed a coordinator. My husband brought it up, and I was like "I don't think we need one, I've got all the planning down", but then he brought up all the reasons that a day of coordinator would be helpful. Let me just say - it was the best decision we ever made!!! I don't even know what I would have done without her. She was so helpful from beginning to end and was SO much more than just a "Day of" wedding coordinator, she helped throughout the months leading up to the wedding, around the time I was so overwhelmed with planning and helped me with things I would never have even thought about. Once we agreed we needed a coordinator, I had talked to/had consultations with a lot of people, and going with Katie was the best choice I made for my wedding day. She was in our budget/price range and from our first "consultation" I could just tell that she was the right choice. It felt right away that she CARED, and I wasn't going to just be a number for her. I also wanted to find someone who had experience with Jewish weddings, and although she did have some experience with less traditional Jewish weddings, I could tell that she was going to really learn and do the wedding right (ours was a fairly traditional Conservative Jewish wedding). Needless to say, my intuition was right and she learned everything she could about the traditions we wanted to honor. Leading up to the wedding, I was struggling finding a few vendors, and was extremely anxious about it, but she helped me to find a make up artist and a baker for the cake, and both ended up being AMAZING finds. She helped me finalize and curate our timeline to perfection and communicated it to all of our other vendors, and then made sure we stuck to that timeline on the day of. She gave me advice and told me about things I wouldn't have even thought about. I filled out a little intake form with what my vision was for the wedding and she made sure it came to life to perfection. She made sure all of the traditional Jewish activities we wanted were incorporated into the timeline, and made sure the day went by seamlessly. She coordinated with all the vendors to make sure everything looked and felt exactly as we had envisioned it. She also was there for me on the day of. If I had an issue or problem, a wardrobe malfunction (my dress ripped and she had a needle and thread ready to go!), was hungry or needed a drink, was frustrated because people weren't where they needed to be before the ceremony, whatever little thing it was, she was there to fix every problem if they arose. Katie was also just a great friend and hype woman throughout the whole day. She made me feel so great and beautiful, and truly was there for me from beginning to end. If you have any doubts or questions about hiring a wedding coordinator, let me just tell you that choosing Katie and Wildflower Elegant Events is choosing an option that will make your wedding planning and wedding day stress-free and PERFECT.
Still Amazed!

I've had the privilege to work alongside Katie as a wedding vendor, and now as my coordinator for my own wedding. Katie is not only amazing at what she does, but she's fun, and SO sweet. Planning a wedding is stressful and overwhelming at times, but she is there for you through it all. She was on point and knew to ask questions I'd never think of. I adore her and am blown away with how everything turned out for my wedding. Guests and family members came to me to compliment her. I knew we chose the right person to walk through this with, and I can't recommend her enough!
Enjoyed working with Katie!

Katie was a HUGE help for us! I (the bride) had to work long hours in the months leading up to the wedding. I hired most of the vendors long ahead of time and my husband handled invitations, but I knew I'd need additional help for the month-of and day-of. Having Katie on board really put me at ease while I was working, and allowed me and my family to just enjoy the day and not have to worry. Katie did the venue walk through with us, met with the venue coordinators, expertly guided us during the rehearsal since none of us knew what we were doing, and helped everything flow on the big day. She handled our 2 very demanding sets of parents with patience and grace, even when they weren't being very nice to her in return. When shopping around for a coordinator I found Katie's prices to be the fairest, and on the phone she sounded like the go-getter I needed for the job. Highly recommend!
