LET'S START PLANNING YOUR DAY
Hey, I'm Katie
YOUR LIVELY WEDDING & EVENT PLANNER
I'm a mom, your new best friend, and a proud wrangler of chickens, goats, and dogs, and I’m passionate about helping couples plan their perfect day.
My love for event planning started with my son, Kaleb’s, birthday parties. now he’s part of the team too. Together, we help make your dream Berkshires event a reality.
Hiring Katie for our big day was easily one of the best decisions we made. I was one of those brides that didn't think I needed a wedding planner/event coordinator - let me tell you - you NEED Katie. Anytime you are unsure about something, she is right there to hear you out. Need to vent about planning? (trust me you will need to several times) - Katie will listen and make time for you. The bridesmaids and groomsmen adored Katie, our parents praised her as a godsend; I don't know what we would have done without her. We've never had the pleasure of meeting someone so compassionate about their work and making other peoples dreams come true - on one of the biggest days of their lives.
