Katie went absolutely above and beyond for us as our wedding coordinator!! She was with us every step of the way and was always available to hop on a quick call to go over details. She made us feel so taken care of during what can be such a stressful and chaotic time. I truly can't thank her enough for how on top of everything she was and how much she handled for us behind the scenes. On the wedding day, she completely blew us away--arriving early, staying on top of every detail, and making sure both we and all of our vendors had everything we needed at all times. Honestly, I don't know what we would have done without her. If anything didn't go according to plan, I would have never known because Katie had everything handled which is exactly what you want in a coordinator. Not to mention, she is so easy to talk to and brings such a fun, positive energy while still keeping everything running smoothly and on schedule. I'm beyond grateful we found her and would 100% recommend her to anyone. Thank you again for making our day (and entire weekend) so special, we appreciate you so much!!! - Amanda + Zachary read more

Hiring Katie was THE BEST wedding planning decision we made!!! When we started planning our wedding, I really thought I was going to do everything myself (LOL). We found our venue first and they told us that they require at least a day of coordinator. After communicating with the venue for a bit we soon realized why, and after trying to do everything myself and realizing that was insane, I am SO grateful that we hired a coordinator and even more grateful that it was Katie. I found Katie on Zola and from our first virtual meeting with her we knew that she was the perfect person to help with our wedding! Katie was incredibly warm & friendly, super detail oriented, and I could immediately tell that she is very experienced in her craft. Katie starts working with you 12 weeks before the wedding & allows unlimited communication which I think is quite rare for coordinators but enables you to build a connection with her. Anything we needed help with, Katie was there to advise us along the way! At our venue walk-through Katie spotted some more red flags from our venue and quietly noted them, reassuring us that she would prepare and make sure everything went smoothly the day of. She made us feel so at ease knowing our wedding day was in her hands. During the planning process she helped with everything from reading our venue contract, ensuring they had the correct numbers for tables/chairs/linens, helping us with design details like linen colors and chair styles, answering all of our questions about how many songs we need for the ceremony, how long songs/speeches should be, etc. She gave us some really special & personal design ideas like having custom Mr & Mrs mugs made for our coffee at the reception since my husband and I don't drink. She even introduced us to our photographer/videographer who was also incredible and so our style. Throughout the whole process she really got to know us and you can just tell she really cares about her couples and absolutely loves what she does. A few weeks before the wedding, Katie has you fill out a decor document where you put photos and describe each item you are bringing and where/how you would like it set up. Our document ended up being 26 pages long LOL. I had a very specific vision for my wedding day & Katie and her team executed it PERFECTLY!!! They were so sweet and even noticed that it was a bit windy of a day so they waited until the last moment to put out a special vase from my grandparents wedding to ensure that nothing happened to it. Just the thought and care and attention to detail from Katie and her team is unmatched. In addition to the setup, Katie coordinated the entire day, wrangling our families for the photos, ensuring everything with the venue ran smoothly, and even dealing with one of our other vendors who was incredibly difficult to work with (who we regretfully hired on our own - NOT a vendor recommend by Katie) and she handled it like a professional and a mom! At the end of the night, Katie and her team broke down and packed up all of our decor for us, again taking so much care to make sure that any of our delicate, special pieces were well taken care of. Our wedding day was genuinely the best day of our lives, much thanks to Katie and her team! At the end of the night I actually started feeling post wedding depression because I knew that our time with Katie as our wedding coordinator was coming to a close LOL. Shouting from the rooftops - HIRE KATIE!!! You will absolutely not regret it. She is THE BEST. read more

I got married last August, and hiring Katie as our wedding coordinator was the best decision we made! I was initially hesitant because I'm super organized and a bit of a control freak, but now I can't imagine how I would have pulled off our 150-person wedding without her. Just hire her stop looking. To anyone considering a wedding planner: trust me, there's way more that goes into a wedding than you realize. Having Katie on board meant I didn't have to stress about logistics, timelines, or the million moving parts that come with a wedding. Instead, I got to focus on the fun stuff--like my cute DIY projects, spending quality time with my bridesmaids, and enjoying my bachelorette party and rehearsal dinner. Katie is an absolute rockstar. I gave her my full trust, and she exceeded every expectation. 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! If you're on the fence, do yourself a favor and book her. You'll thank yourself later! Oh and she's also so cool we ended up becoming friends, it is a total win-win! read more

We have nothing but absolute appreciation for Katie and her team. Katie and her team were our guardian angels on our special day. We thought we could handle things ourselves, but as the day grew closer we realized we couldn't do it alone - and we stumbled upon Katie's page. She was our absolute lifesaver. Not only was she extremely timely, transparent, and professional from the start, but she was also super welcoming, friendly and fun to work with. We clicked with Katie instantly, and knew we had to book her for our wedding. Katie understood our vision and brought it to life so seamlessly. She was extremely thorough through every part of the process and literally thought of EVERYTHING. Believe us, there's something you missed on your list - but don't worry, Katie didn't! She also handled our vendors for us - especially the difficult ones. Honestly, we don't know what would have happened if it wasn't for her. Our day flowed so well, and it wouldn't have been possible without Katie and her team. She made us feel like the priority when we were worried about the guests. She handled anything and everything that came up so gracefully - and she still won't tell us what went wrong! Her main goal is to make sure that the day is perfect for the newlyweds and thanks to her our day was for us. She even took the time to put plates together for us to make sure we ate, or at least had access to food. Believe us, if someone doesn't put a plate in front of you, good luck getting a bite in - your day is going to be packed. We are still receiving compliments on how well the day went, how smooth everything flowed together. Anyone we know that is engaged is already being referred to her. Choosing Katie as our Wedding Coordinator was one of the, if not the absolute best decision we could have made. read more

I cannot recommend Katie and her team at Wildflower Elegant Events enough. I also want to start this review by saying that I didn't even think I needed a coordinator. My husband brought it up, and I was like "I don't think we need one, I've got all the planning down", but then he brought up all the reasons that a day of coordinator would be helpful. Let me just say - it was the best decision we ever made!!! I don't even know what I would have done without her. She was so helpful from beginning to end and was SO much more than just a "Day of" wedding coordinator, she helped throughout the months leading up to the wedding, around the time I was so overwhelmed with planning and helped me with things I would never have even thought about. Once we agreed we needed a coordinator, I had talked to/had consultations with a lot of people, and going with Katie was the best choice I made for my wedding day. She was in our budget/price range and from our first "consultation" I could just tell that she was the right choice. It felt right away that she CARED, and I wasn't going to just be a number for her. I also wanted to find someone who had experience with Jewish weddings, and although she did have some experience with less traditional Jewish weddings, I could tell that she was going to really learn and do the wedding right (ours was a fairly traditional Conservative Jewish wedding). Needless to say, my intuition was right and she learned everything she could about the traditions we wanted to honor. Leading up to the wedding, I was struggling finding a few vendors, and was extremely anxious about it, but she helped me to find a make up artist and a baker for the cake, and both ended up being AMAZING finds. She helped me finalize and curate our timeline to perfection and communicated it to all of our other vendors, and then made sure we stuck to that timeline on the day of. She gave me advice and told me about things I wouldn't have even thought about. I filled out a little intake form with what my vision was for the wedding and she made sure it came to life to perfection. She made sure all of the traditional Jewish activities we wanted were incorporated into the timeline, and made sure the day went by seamlessly. She coordinated with all the vendors to make sure everything looked and felt exactly as we had envisioned it. She also was there for me on the day of. If I had an issue or problem, a wardrobe malfunction (my dress ripped and she had a needle and thread ready to go!), was hungry or needed a drink, was frustrated because people weren't where they needed to be before the ceremony, whatever little thing it was, she was there to fix every problem if they arose. Katie was also just a great friend and hype woman throughout the whole day. She made me feel so great and beautiful, and truly was there for me from beginning to end. If you have any doubts or questions about hiring a wedding coordinator, let me just tell you that choosing Katie and Wildflower Elegant Events is choosing an option that will make your wedding planning and wedding day stress-free and PERFECT. read more

Katie is the BEST wedding coordinator I could have asked for. She knows what she is doing, has so much experience coordinating events, and it is clear in the way she handles situations and different things coming up. My family did not have to lift a finger my entire wedding because Katie took care of EVERYTHING. I got married December 2022, and she genuinely helped me think through every detail. She took such good care of me as a bride. On the day of, I was constantly asked if I needed water or anything, she helped with my veil and bustling my dress, and she coordinated all the family photos. I did not have to worry about anything the entire time. I just told her everything that I wanted, and she made it happen for me. Katie is also very kind and you will want to be her best friend afterward. She is funny and personable, and puts you as the couple first. But she can also be tough, and is so willing to "be the bad guy" if you need her to, so that you don't have to. Ultimately, she puts the bride and groom FIRST and ensured that we and our families had an AMAZING event. My day would not have gone even half as good if she weren't there. Katie is the BEST decision we made for our wedding. I had not planned to hire a coordinator originally, and wanted to do a lot of it myself, but that would have been the worst mistake. I know that I would have regretted it later on. I tell people all the time, "you know how so many people have wedding nightmares or horror stories?" Not me, my day was absolutely perfect. It was everything I ever dreamed that it would be, and a large part is because of Katie and everything she did for me. Don't waste time looking anywhere else, Katie is your girl. You will be so thankful that you did. read more

Katie was a HUGE help for us! I (the bride) had to work long hours in the months leading up to the wedding. I hired most of the vendors long ahead of time and my husband handled invitations, but I knew I'd need additional help for the month-of and day-of. Having Katie on board really put me at ease while I was working, and allowed me and my family to just enjoy the day and not have to worry. Katie did the venue walk through with us, met with the venue coordinators, expertly guided us during the rehearsal since none of us knew what we were doing, and helped everything flow on the big day. She handled our 2 very demanding sets of parents with patience and grace, even when they weren't being very nice to her in return. When shopping around for a coordinator I found Katie's prices to be the fairest, and on the phone she sounded like the go-getter I needed for the job. Highly recommend! read more

My husband and I hired Katie to help us with our elopement, which probably was more of a mini wedding. It was the absolute best decision we made and even though Katie and I worked together up until the day of the wedding, on the actual day- my husband could not stop noticing how absolutely on point Katie was with all the details. It put him completely at ease and it meant for both of us that we didn't worry about any of the details and got to be present for our wedding. We both run logistics for our own companies in a way, but never a wedding and we had a ton of questions up to the last second. Katie was endlessly patient, kind, thoughtful and helpful and in moments when I truly felt decision fatigue I leaned into her suggestions when that made the most sense to me to trust her to guide me. We've been married for only a few weeks, and I'm finding myself still thankful for the small touches that Katie brought to the day. She helped me adjust my dress countless times because it was too big and instead of stressing, we just rezipped it. She literally RAN to get a different set of my shoes at one point so I wouldn't be in pain for the ceremony and she must have a 6th sense of where I had hidden them in my bag, in the limo. She also remembered small details, like to hand me my reading glasses to read the vows and to bring us a ceremonial item for our private vows filled with water. For the photos, she helped our photography team make many small adjustments and was there to fluff my train over and over. I felt like I had a best friend, a sister and a professional all wrapped up in one person for the day- not to say that those people should not also be invited but do not hesitate to hire Katie- you will have zero regrets. My suggestions to any bride working with Katie is to lean into her vendor suggestions, tell her where you are stuck when you first get stuck- don't wait! and be open to your letting someone else help. You don't have to do it all, Katie will have a clipboard with literally every detail so all you have to do is relax and get married. read more

I've had the privilege to work alongside Katie as a wedding vendor, and now as my coordinator for my own wedding. Katie is not only amazing at what she does, but she's fun, and SO sweet. Planning a wedding is stressful and overwhelming at times, but she is there for you through it all. She was on point and knew to ask questions I'd never think of. I adore her and am blown away with how everything turned out for my wedding. Guests and family members came to me to compliment her. I knew we chose the right person to walk through this with, and I can't recommend her enough! read more

Katie was the ABSOLUTE BEST! Planning my wedding started as a headache until I met Katie. She was so organized and asked all the right questions to get us ready for the big day. She was always available when I needed her and went the extra mile to share her connections when my hairstylist cancelled 3 weeks before the wedding! Before the wedding, we met on zoom twice and did a walk through of my venue. She knew exactly what she needed to make my day run smoothly and took charge of every single detail. I was in awe with her the minute we met! Don't even get me started on my wedding day.... Katie was beyond attentive, took care of meeting with all vendors, made sure that my venue was set up in the way I requested, took care of the timeline for the entire day and was even my personal one on one. She consistently checked in on me, prioritized that I ate and ensured that I took time for myself to enjoy the party with my lovely husband. I seriously would not have been as stress free as I was if it were not for Katie Tinker . If you need someone during this amazing next chapter of your life, do NOT even hesitate, and give Katie a call read more

Wildflowers Elegant Events - The best coordinator - Wedding Planning Near Me

Katie was nothing short of AMAZING! She is sweet, funny, knowledgeable, helpful, supportive, kind, thoughtful, detail-oriented, punctual, and just an AMAZING Wedding Coordinator. I cannot imagine my planning and my special day running as smoothly and as well without her. Katie was super responsive and on top of everything. We were so fortunate to have her because there were many details that we did not consider in the planning process, let alone on our special day. Katie was our Wedding Coordinator. We booked with her a little under a year in advance. Her pricing was affordable and the services she offered as our Coordinator were phenomenal. I appreciated the split payments and it was super easy to pay through her platform. Katie was always available through text, call, or email. She was a huge support when we had issues with vendors. She coordinated EVERYTHING! And even helped set up items for our wedding day. Having her for the Wedding Rehearsal was GREAT! And the day of....she was AWESOME! She fluffed my dress, fixed my corset, made sure everything ran smoothly, made sure things remained on time, made sure everything ran how it was supposed to, made sure pictures were completed, made sure the bride and groom, and family were taken care of, served us appetizers and food, had bobby pins on deck for my tiara that was not staying, made sure our timeline was fulfilled with the time we had, met with us a few times before our wedding day, and so much more. The list is endless! I had ZERO worries or stress on my day. She made us feel so relaxed and special. We cannot thank you enough for all that you did for our Special Day. Please book with Katie. You will not be disappointed. Thank you Katie!!! You will always be remembered every time we think back to our special day :). read more

Our entire wedding day went perfectly all thanks to Katie. She is organized, professional, and easy to talk to. I can't stress enough how vital her services are. She advocates for brides and makes sure you are calm and happy during your wedding day. Even before my wedding day, she helped me find amazing vendors who she trusts and just made the day as easy as possible. I'll miss working with her!! read more

I got married 1 year ago and was absolutely blessed with having Katie as our coordinator. From the moment we met till the final moment of our wedding she exceeded all expectations. Words can not express our sincerest gratitude we have towards Katie. On our Wedding day there wasn't a time where I was without a drink, some food and even made sure we had 1 of everything on our dessert table before we let our guests attack the dessert station. I never had a moment wondering "Where's Katie? I need something" cause she was always there when I needed her or even if I had a question, almost like she sensed I needed something. Our timeline was spot on to a "T" she made sure every thing we needed done was done without a hitch, her attention to detail, organization, patience, kindness and leadership is everything you could want in someone who is planning/running any type of event. Even during the planning process, I wasn't 100% sure of what I wanted but I had an idea and she ran with it. I wouldn't have had the wedding of my dreams had I gone else where. There was one moment that stuck inside my head, while I was getting my dress bustled before we made our grand entrance Katie brought me down an assortment of appetizers and drinks since I had missed cocktail hour due to picture taking and stood by my side holding this tray while I finished. If that doesn't show you how above and beyond she goes for her clients. I've been to several weddings and till this day I get comments to how perfect our day was and how smoothly everything ran. I can't Thank Katie enough times, this day paired with her kindness will always hold a huge place in my heart. So if you're looking for a coordinator to go beyond your wildest dreams for your event big or small, Katie is your girl! I can't wait for the day I get to work with her again, cause there will be another event I will need help with and I'm I already know who to call. read more

Katie was so amazing as my wedding coordinator. She was truly heaven sent. She listened to my every detail & made my dreams come to life. She was on top of it all, made sure everything went as smooth as it could possibly go, helped with everything, & most importantly made sure I (the bride) was okay. Having Katie alongside me kept me calm & relaxed. I was sure it was all going to be perfect because I knew I had someone like Katie with me. She's a true gem! Ceci Valles read more

Very professional, takes the time know you and brings your vision to life! Very impressed and extremely happy with her work!!

Katie with Wildflowers Elegant Events was an absolute pleasure to work with! We didn't initially plan on hiring a coordinator as I am an Event Planner as a career, but we decided somewhat last minute to hire a day of coordinator so that we could focus on enjoying our special day, and I am SO glad we did! Katie jumped right in and helped us finalize the last few vendors and details that we still had left to do. She kept us on track and made sure we had all the necessary decisions and details figured out in time, and assisted with recommendations as needed. As we got a week or so out, we were getting worried about the weather and she was monitoring the weather daily with us to figure out what to do as our venue was all outdoors. She assisted us with the logistics and contacts of renting last minute tents which worked out beautifully. On the day of, in addition to keeping us sane and making sure we had time to really appreciate the day, she and her team ran point with all the vendors as they arrived, put out the decor that we had brought, and kept us on schedule for all the different parts of the day from first look photos, to ceremony, and reception, and assisted with gathering up all the decor and items at the end of the night so that we could enjoy the day and be present. Our day was absolutely perfect, and we have Katie to thank for that! read more

Cannot begin to say enough great things about Katie! Completely on top of every single detail, while putting me and my wife at ease throughout the process.

Katie went above and beyond any expectations my husband and I could have possibly had. If you're looking for a coordinator you've found the best of the best. She is kind and patient but also takes no crap. She will make sure your day goes off without a hitch, and if something does goes wrong you literally won't know because she handles it with ease. My friends and family STILL talk about how amazing our wedding was and we 100% have Katie to thank for that. Not only did she make sure everything looked beautiful she made sure our guests also had a great time which was honestly the most important thing to us. read more

Katie was amazing! Without her my big day wouldn't have gone off as well as it did. All my little details and needs we met and then exceeded thanks to her. I am so grateful for all her help, patience, and hype girl-ness, that kept all of us going. OH and she always made sure I had a drink in my hand, my hand-crafted favorite drink, ah what a goddess! She knows how to settle a crowd, move a hoard, and transition your bride/groom things, so well. I received nothing but complements, "oh my gods", and " what a magical night." If those are the types of memories you want to leave yourself and your guests with, then you've found your coordinator! read more

Katie was my wedding coordinator. I am a very organizer person so I was nervous about who would be running the show day-of.

The day of she was running the show in a stress-free way, made sure I was taken care of at all times & went above and beyond in all areas.
