The day before the wedding, there was a major mix-up with my flowers and I suddenly had nothing. Katie completely saved the day—thanks to her connections, not only did she find a florist last-minute, but she somehow got me the succulent bouquet of my dreams. It felt like magic.
At the rehearsal dinner, I turned to my now-husband and said, “I wouldn’t have made it through the last few weeks without Katie.” And I meant it. I’m very Type B, and my ideas were kind of all over the place, but she took my mess and turned it into such a beautiful, seamless event.
She kept everything on track the day of, made sure everyone knew where they needed to be, and handled all the little things I would’ve never thought of. We were trying to save money and weren’t sure about hiring a coordinator—but honestly, I can’t imagine how we would’ve done it without her.
Even after the event, she had all our decorations carefully packed and wrapped in bubble wrap. She just handled everything with so much care.
So, so grateful for Katie—if you’re even considering a coordinator, hire her. You will not regret it.”
“I truly don’t know how we would’ve pulled off our wedding without Katie. She was such a calming, capable presence throughout the entire process, and went above and beyond more times than I can count.

Wedding Day Coordination
– Emily & Joseph
“Katie is a Superhero! K.S.Otter Events was an absolute amazing wedding planner!
She swooped in when we thought we were going to have to cancel our wedding due to Helene. She helped set up backup options for our elopement and reception, and then when we found out that we could have our wedding at the original places Katie coordinated and made sure everything went perfectly how we envisioned it.
Our day would not have been possible without her!!”
