Katalin Green is phenomenal. Hands down the most professional, talented and experienced designer working in the state, if not the northwest. She is also one of the kindest, most thoughtful and most sincerely considerate people I have ever had the pleasure to work with.
I was married October 10, 2014 at Rainbow Ranch Lodge in Big Sky, Montana. Katalin Green designed, orchestrated and executed every detail of our ceremony and reception. The event was flawless. I would recommend Katalin to any couple wishing for a truly genuine experience reflective of their own style and preferences. She is beyond talented, and truly a genius at her craft.
Rainbow Ranch is a beautiful establishment nestled alongside the Gallatin River; a perfectly serene place to celebrate with family and friends. Katalin worked directly with the general manager Mollie Eckman, eliminating any need for me to correspond or intervene. She had a thorough understanding of Rainbow Ranch's policies and procedures, was respectful and considerate to every individual she dealt with, and created a truly stress free and blissful environment on the day of our wedding. In every conversation leading up to the wedding she was thorough and always provided her undivided attention. I felt she genuinely cared, in every regard, about my happiness, and about creating a truly memorable experience.
When it comes to design, Katalin is AMAZING! She offers full service production and design elements, from her bridal and event coordinating company, Katalin Green Designs, to her full service floral design company, Avant Floral. (She also oversees and publishes her own magazine, Montana Bride, if that's any indication of how knowledgeable she is....) Katalin sourced my dress for me, a hand tailored, one of a kind lace gown, which matched my style and personality perfectly. She designed and made every floral component of our ceremony/reception, of which there were many, including my hand glued white rose petal "Composite" bouquet. She carried out EVERY element of our wedding - from guest seating place cards (gold hand-etched calligraphy), table design and layout (the most intimate and beautiful table setting I have ever seen!), to the guest book table incorporating my grandfather's 1920s antique typewriter, to the dessert table, to chairs wrapped in gold chiffon, to sheer white ceiling drapes meant to illuminate and draw in the space.... to everything.....the list goes on and on.....
I have to seriously question anyone who would post a negative review of Katalin. Having logged on to see a couple reviews questioning her abilities and professionalism, I am shocked. Katalin is the definition of talent and professionalism. In my humble opinion a wedding planner's job is to facilitate a day where everything runs smoothly, not to be front and center, stealing time and attention away from the bride, mother of the bride and family. Just because you don't "see" Katalin doesn't mean she isn't running around making sure every aspect of your day is executed flawlessly. I saw Katalin for maybe 3 minutes on the day of my wedding. I also feel compelled to mention again how much I felt that Katalin truly CARED about me and my wishes for our wedding day. I have no doubt that she would do, and DID do, whatever it takes to see your dreams come to fruition - that includes being direct and upfront with vendors....as in my case, when my dress was 2 months behind schedule and it was Katalin who made sure they delivered on time.
I would recommend Katalin to my closest friends, and to anyone wishing to work with a wonderful woman, sensationally talented, detail oriented and professional in every way, shape and form. My husband and I both are so grateful for her advice, involvement and the ultimate result of everything she created, which was the most touching and memorable experience celebrating our marriage together. read more
