A wedding day, while a time for pretty things, is about so much more. At K.S.Otter Events, we believe weddings should reflect who you are, not just what traditions say they should be. Our team helps you plan a day that feels authentic, thoughtful, and totally you — all while saving you green and keeping it green.
Our wedding planning team handles all the logistical details so that you can walk into your wedding day feeling confident and refreshed.
Ok, totally fair if your meet cute was quote-on-quote “normal.” We love those stories! But everyone’s relationship is so different.
Chances are, your love story is different from most of your friends’ and families’, so why should your wedding look like everyone else’s?
We shatter the mold of cookie-cutter weddings. Our wedding planning services put just the right spin on your event: your spin! With our expertise, your wedding is going to be exactly how you dreamed it.
Whether you’re envisioning an intimate garden ceremony, a chic downtown Charlotte celebration, or a grand mountain retreat, you’re in the right place.
Turns out, otters are a symbol of everlasting love. Otters have been seen holding hands. They’re monogamous. They love, live, and die together. That’s one reason why our owner, Katie Sautter, chose the otters for the brand.
She wanted to stand out from all the fish in the sea, show her personality, and represent love and joy in a unique way - much like we do for our couples! But, while choosing a name, Katie wanted to think about such a big decision - a business name means a lot! She said, “I’ll think about it for a week, and make a final decision then.”
The very next day, as she strolled around a pond, she spotted two river otters playing. Not minks, dogs, squirrels, or anything else. She spotted OTTERS. If there was ever a sign, it was this one.
Thus, K.S.Otter Events (pronounced K. S. Otter), was born.
We specialize in seamlessly blending sustainability with your own style, creating stunning, eco-conscious weddings that leave a lasting impression, no matter the setting.

K.S.Otter Events was an absolutely amazing wedding planning team to work with. From the very start, they were excellent communicators, keeping us informed every step of the way and making sure we felt completely taken care of. They literally saved our whole day! K.S.Otter Events and their team worked tirelessly to make our wedding day truly special. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding planner. They are absolutely perfect at what they do!”
“K.S.Otter Events Literally Saved the Whole Wedding Day. Their work was nothing short of incredible— beyond amazing! They handled everything for our big day and ensured it turned out perfectly, even when our original caterer was a no-call, no-show. They quickly stepped in and found a replacement at the last minute.
I love Katie's attention to detail, plus I love that she has established relationships with so many wonderful wedding vendors. The interactive timeline she made was a really cool feature. If you decide to work with K.S.Otter Events, you can relax and trust the process: But if there is something you really want, then make sure to speak up because Katie will try her best to make it happen.”
“I would definitely recommend K.S.Otter Events to anyone I knew looking to get married. The reason why is because my event was beyond my wildest dreams! She put together an amazing wedding and also incorporated a lot of my ideas and wishes. I was just so pleased: everyone had an amazing time.
The quality of her work and value she provided was top-notch. You can tell she truly puts her heart into every event she plans. Katie planned the Wish Weddings entire day from start to finish, and her level of caring and attention to detail was fantastic. We were blessed to have her be a Wish Granter with Wish Upon a Wedding and plan two Wish Weddings for us. We highly recommend K.S.Otter Events for any couple looking for a caring, detail-oriented wedding planner.”
“An AMAZING planner to have on your side! K.S.Otter Events was an absolute pleasure to work with as a Wish Granter for our Wish weddings. Her communication style was great - she was always on top of things and available to talk through any questions or concerns I had.
She didn’t just plan a wedding—she brought our vision to life and made the entire process feel smooth, joyful, and completely stress-free. Katie went above and beyond in every possible way. She handled every detail with such care and precision—from vendor coordination to timeline management—making sure everything ran flawlessly. Even when unexpected challenges came up (as they always do!), she tackled them with calm confidence and made sure we never had to worry. What really stood out was how much she genuinely cared. She wasn’t just doing a job—she was truly there for us. Her kindness, patience, and passion for what she does made all the difference, and we felt so supported every step of the way. If you’re looking for a wedding planner who is not only insanely good at what she does but also kind, thoughtful, and 100% committed to making your day magical, Katie is the one. We are forever grateful for her and everything she did to make our day unforgettable.”
“K.S.Otter Events went above and beyond – the wedding planner of our dreams! Hiring K.S.Otter Events as our wedding planner was hands-down the best decision we made. From the very beginning, she was organized, responsive, and truly invested in making our day as perfect as possible.
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 K.S.Otter Events. She was such a calming, capable presence throughout the entire process, and went above and beyond more times than I can count.
She is so open to new or even crazy ideas. She also happens to be the sweetest person on earth!! I can’t recommend her enough. I will shout it from the rooftops wherever I can: use Katie as your wedding planner!! You won’t regret it. :)”
“K.S.Otter Events has been an absolute lifesaver and is a dream to work with. Katie’s bringing my vision to life in a way I never could have on my own. I can’t imagine what I would have done without her!
