No two couples are the same, and I don’t believe the planning experience should be either. My approach is personal, collaborative, and built around what you actually need. I’m here to make planning feel lighter, keep you supported every step of the way, and make sure you actually enjoy this season instead of wishing it away just to get to the wedding day.
weddings that feel like you, run like a dream, and let you be fully in the moment
Southern California Wedding Planning + Design
They’re looking for someone they can trust. Someone who understands their vision, keeps them organized, answers the “is this normal?” texts, and makes the whole process feel a lot less overwhelming. I believe you deserve to feel heard, supported, and genuinely excited throughout your engagement, not like wedding planning has become your second job. You should be able to enjoy the fun decisions, soak up this season together, and know there’s someone in your corner handling the details, advocating for what matters to you, and making sure your wedding feels unmistakably like you.
My couples aren’t looking for someone to simply check boxes and make a timeline.

For the couple who loves planning but knows they need someone to run the show on their wedding day. You’ve done the work, chosen your dream team, and planned the details. Now it’s time to hand it over so you can be fully present, celebrate with your favorite people, and actually enjoy the party you planned!
Wedding Day Management
It all starts with a little hello! Fill out my contact form and tell me about your wedding, your date, and what you’re dreaming up. If I’m available, we’ll schedule a quick call where I get to hear all about your vision, what you’ve planned so far, and where you could use a little extra support. Think of it as our wedding planning vibe check to make sure we’re the perfect fit!
01
First things first, let's chat
This is where the experience becomes completely personalized to you. Depending on the service you choose, we’ll kick things off with an onboarding meeting to talk through where you are, what’s already been done, and what comes next. From there, we’ll dive into the pieces that apply to your planning package. You’ll always know what we’re working on and what’s coming next, so planning feels exciting instead of overwhelming.
03
Let's get planning
As wedding week arrives, it’s officially time for you to start soaking it all in! Depending on the service you’ve chosen, I’ll step in to manage the final details, vendor communication, timelines, logistics, and all the behind the scenes moving pieces. When the wedding day arrives, you get to be fully present with your favorite people while I keep everything running smoothly. Your only job? Get married, celebrate, and enjoy the party!
05
Let's get you married!
Here's where the fun begins
You can book me up to two years in advance, and the sooner, the better! Popular dates tend to go quickly, and I only take on one wedding per weekend so I can give each couple my full attention. If you know your date and think we might be a good fit, don’t be shy. Reach out early!
How far in advance should we book you?
I plan weddings of all kinds throughout Southern California, but I have an extra soft spot for private estates, outdoor celebrations, and full wedding weekends. Whether you’re planning an intimate gathering or a big weekend with all your favorite people, my goal is always the same: create a celebration that feels completely like you and is just as fun to experience as it is beautiful to look at.
What types of weddings do you plan?
Absolutely! Vendor recommendations and guidance are included with my Partial Planning and Full Planning services. I’ll help connect you with trusted vendors who fit your style, needs, and overall vision. For Wedding Management, vendor sourcing and recommendations are not included since this service is designed for couples who already have their vendor team in place.
Do you help with vendor recommendations?
Every couple needs a different level of support, which is why I offer Wedding Management, Partial Planning, and Full Planning. Whether you’ve got most of the planning handled and need someone to bring it all together, want a little more guidance along the way, or are ready to hand me the planning reins from the start, there’s an option designed to meet you where you are.
Do you offer different levels of planning support?
I sure do! While I’m based in Southern California and plan weddings throughout Palm Springs, the Coachella Valley, Inland Empire, Orange County, Los Angeles, and beyond, I’m always up for celebrating somewhere new. Travel fees may apply depending on the location, so tell me where we’re going and let’s chat!
Do you travel for weddings?
Paige + Brandon
Katie was such a helpful and important part of our wedding day, we truly could not have done it without her. My husband and I are incredibly thankful for her and her team and we highly recommend her if you want your wedding process to go smoothly!
“She was amazing to work with and executed our vision perfectly.”
Ani + Ricky
Katie is the kindest and calmest person which is what you need in this profession. She has so many connections and vendor suggestions which made things so much easier. From the planning to the day of, everything went smoothly. (And even if it didn’t, we wouldn’t have known. She’s that good!)
“She was our saving grace for everything leading up to our wedding.”
Ginger + Elton
Katie is an absolute rockstar. She’s organized, calm under pressure, and genuinely cared about making our day perfect. If I ever get married again (haha), I’ll hire her without a second thought!
“I gave her my full trust, and she exceeded every expectation.”
