Best decision EVER

Katie is THE BEST. When I say don’t hesitate, I mean it. I hired SDE to be my day of coordinator but Katie was SO much more. My day ran smoothly because of her, she decorated my venue and laid out my ideas better than I could have ever even imagined. She made sure that my husband and I got the chance to relax and enjoy our day. She was ON IT. Every question, vendor hiccups, timeline worries — she took care of it. We spent our dinner talking about how perfect she did. If I could give 10 stars I absolutely would. I will absolutely recommend SDE to every single person I know.
