  Katie is Super Organized and Easy To Work With

  I am writing this review from the perspective of a Wedding DJ who has collaborated with Katie in the past. In my experience, the success of every wedding hinges greatly on the quality of service provided by vendors and the chemistry among the chosen vendors on site at the wedding.
  
  As a wedding DJ, we meet A LOT of wedding planners and day of coordinators. Some who really do an amazing job, like Katie, and some that don't do an amazing job. We've noticed great planners usually go hand in hand with great weddings. We love working with planners like Katie because of how smooth and successful the wedding day is. She is so easy to work with from a vendors perspective and you will be at total peace from a couples perspective.
  
  If Katie is available, book her! Your other vendors will thank you.

  Our Happily Ever After

  From our very first phone call I knew that Katie and I were going to get along well. Even though I'm fairly organized our day had a lot of moving parts and I knew that I needed some extra help to make it everything that we wanted it to be. Katie helped me keep everything organized and was always there to answer my questions when I ran into a problem in our planning. In the final weeks leading up to our wedding she made sure that all our other vendors were on the same page and that every detail was covered. On our wedding day she was calm, cool and collected and made sure any bumps were handled and unnoticed by my husband and I. We had the most amazing day ever and Katie was a huge part of that. Katie is incredibly sweet, easy to talk to, resourceful and down to earth. I would hire her again in a heartbeat.

  The best !!!!!

  No need to look any further, A Lively Event is the best choice hands down! Katie is seriously amazing! She was there for us every step of the way answering any and all of the questions we had, bringing up things we may not have even thought about, and making sure everything went exactly as we planned. Her organizational skills and attention to detail is exactly what we needed to keep us from worrying on our wedding day and giving us peace of mind. She was super proactive with our planning and vendors and it felt like she knew exactly what we needed and wanted. She made everyone in our wedding party feel very comfortable and she did so much behind the scenes for us to make sure our wedding day was the best day and exactly what we dreamed of. We are forever grateful for Katie and we couldn’t have done it without her!

  Absolutely the best!

  Katie and her team are the absolute best! After my daughter and her fiancé picked their date and venue, we knew we wanted a wedding planner to help with the rest. We interviewed different planners, but loved Katie’s warmth and her down to earth approach. After hiring Katie, we never looked back. She helped us picked an amazing team of vendors that made the wedding perfect. She is so easy to work with and was always giving us tips on things we never even thought of. That day she was a rock star! Keeping us calm between the rain drops and presenting great alternates for plans B and C. My friends and family were so impressed with Katie and how she pulled everything together so wonderfully. Thank you a million times over, Katie! From the Seely and O’Toole Families

  Thank you Katie!

  I don't even know where to begin! In my first consultation with Katie she helped me choose the right planning package for my needs. We talked about what I wanted help with and she didn't try to oversell me. I booked Katie as my month of coordinator but she was there for me throughout the entire process as needed. She was an asset during my vendor searches, recommending an awesome DJ, caterer, and photobooth. Her input was critical to the success of our day. On our wedding day Katie and her team of professionals went above and beyond any expectations I could have had. She was prepared for all situations, handling drama, wardrobe emergencies and changes, wrangling my groomsmen, AND taking beautiful photos and videos I will cherish forever. She helped us with our hotel room logistics, checking in, taking care of our stuff. I could go on and on, but I think you get the point! Our day was nothing short of perfect and so much of that was because of A Lively Event.

  The Best Thing to Happen to Our Wedding

  I could write a novel with all of the praise I have for A Lively Event. I am a self-professed lunatic with control issues and I knew I had two choices on my wedding day: worry about every little thing, be late to the ceremony because I was bossing everyone else around, bask in the stress and not enjoy a moment OR completely surrender myself, hand over the reins to someone else, and be fully present in every moment on my big day. I chose the latter and Katie was the Queen that stepped in and handled EVERYTHING. We booked the month of coordination package with A Lively Event and for the 6 weeks before our wedding, Katie held all my seams together, guiding me through those last hectic weeks. She wrangled all our vendors, arranged the wedding timeline, coordinated that timeline with everyone else, and had everyone where they needed to be when they needed to be there. She guided our first-time officiant through everything he needed to do. She dealt with our disappearing groomsmen, kept the moms content and at ease, handled our décor set up, handled clean up, and had all the items we brought to the venue packed up and loaded into the car at the end of the night so the only thing that we had to do was walk out the door. Katie ran a seamless event for us. She asked all the right questions, knew all of our requests and preferences, and had all the information she needed to make all the right decisions and calls for us on our wedding day. She knew what I did and did not want and made sure I worried about NOTHING on my wedding day. Katie is a phenomenal wedding planner and coordinator and more importantly, she is a wonderful person. If I could get married twice I would do it just to hire her a second time and spend more time with her! Hire her and trust her and her team with your big day, you won’t regret it.

  You are the best!!!! I am so glad we could be a part of your day and you felt all of these amazing feelings about our service! I vote for a re-do of your wedding in 10 years so we can do it all again! Much love! XOXO, Katie

  You and your wedding NEED Katie

  As my Husband puts it, Katie was hands down the best money that we spent during our wedding weekend (which for context was roughly a $100K affair so that’s high praise!). We hired her for the month of coordination package (which starts 6 weeks before the date) for our June 2022 wedding at Stablegate Barn and from the second we had our first call with her I felt like I could let out a sigh of relief. Not only was she SUPER helpful with all of her coordination leading up to the event, I literally don’t know how the day of would have gone without her. She was meticulous and was able to really help our vision come to life. She handled all of the coordination to make the day feel seamless and really let us enjoy the day because we knew that if there was anything wrong, Katie would handle it, and she did. I can’t imagine our wedding weekend without her, she was our coordinator but she was also so much more than that, she was a therapist, she was my dress adjuster, she was a guest shuffler, a schedule keeper, a problem fixer, our venue floral arranger, a temporary stylist when I needed my hair out of my face bc I was sweating and trying to eat and a last minute errand queen. Hire Katie, you will be so so happy that you did and your wedding will be all the better for it!

  Katie is great!

  We hired Katie as a month of coordinator for our wedding. Even prior to the month before our wedding we were able to talk to her a few times and start the process early, which was such a huge help! Katie is extremely knowledgeable about all things wedding related and thought of details that we had not even considered. She put so much thought and effort into making our day so special, and even had a several-hours-long zoom chat with us to iron out all of our ceremony and reception details. She was especially helpful the day of our wedding, where she was everywhere at once and took care of every little detail (like handing out our vendor tips so we didn't have to remember at the end of the night, directing our wedding party during the ceremony so we all knew what to do and when to do it, fixing my bouquet when it started to come apart, and being a tide pen wizard by making any stains disappear!) so we didn't have to worry about a thing. We had a lot of vendors the manage at our wedding, and Katie did lots of work behind the scenes to make sure they were all on the same page. If you're on the fence about hiring a wedding coordinator, we'd highly recommend at least having someone there day-of to help you just relax and enjoy your wedding, and Katie is so good at that!

  A Lively Event Made My Wedding Happen!

  My husband Alex and I got married in June of 2022 at Taconic Ridge Farm and we are so THANKFUL to have chosen Katie/A Lively Event for our day-of (but it was realistically MONTHS of help honestly) coordination. Katie was so warm and on top of everything and even reached out to us months in advance when our original venue had a fire to help us find a new one. She truly went above and beyond (she even lit our bonfire for us at the end of the night!) and I swear that if she was not there the entire event would have fallen apart!! Do yourself a MASSIVE favor and book Katie/A Lively Event for your wedding coordination, like, immediately!!

  Made Our Wedding Happen!

  Katie was brought in last minute when we had to change our plans due to COVID. The changes happened quickly in order for us to still get married on the date we planned while abiding by NYS regulations. We had to switch venues and had to elopement to keep our original date.
  
  The venue hired Katie to help coordinate all of the logistics to make sure everything went smoothly. Katie listened to everything we were trying to accomplish in a short turnaround. She also made sure that all of the touches we had for our original plans with a large group were implemented so we could still enjoy the personalization we wanted. And of course, it rained, but Katie made sure I didn't have to worry about changing from outside to inside.
  
  I recommend Katie 110%. You will not be disappointed! She is also so kind, fun, and made us feel so special on our big day.

  Stop what you're doing and hire her

  Hiring Katie for our big day was easily one of the best decisions we made. I was one of those brides that didn't think I needed a wedding planner/event coordinator - let me tell you - you NEED Katie. Anytime you are unsure about something, she is right there to hear you out. Need to vent about planning? (trust me you will need to several times) - Katie will listen and make time for you. A Lively Event has several different packages to meet your needs and budgets. The bridesmaids and groomsmen adored Katie, our parents praised her as a godsend; I don't know what we would have done without her. We've never had the pleasure of meeting someone so compassionate about their work and making other peoples dreams come true - on one of the biggest days of their lives.

  Katie at A Lively Event is the Best!

  Katie was the wedding planner for our August ‘21 wedding at 60 State and we couldn’t have been happier with her services. Katie helped plan the timeline for our day and met with us in person before the wedding along with a few phone calls to go over final details. Katie is a true professional - very knowledgeable, experienced and friendly which helped put us at ease as we approached the day of our wedding. Along with her assistant Amanda, Katie worked well with our wedding party and other vendors, who all had a lot of fun working with Katie and Amanda. We highly recommend Katie and can’t thank her enough for all of her help in making our dream wedding come true.

  Our Wedding Day Dreams Came True - and more!

  When we decided to take our special day from a microwedding of 12 to a wedding of 75, we knew we needed help. Katie of A Lively Event is generous with her time, friendly and honest. A Lively Event introduced us to great venue and vendor options, and was familiar with the local vendors we wanted to work with. Katie is always on your side as the couple and her client. Katie went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed at a venue that required we bring in every single thing. Our wedding was unique, beautiful, fun and truly special. Thanks to Katie and Amanda, I did not have to worry about a single detail over the wedding weekend - they handled it all! I cannot emphasize enough the importance of having a wedding planner and coordinator. Without hesitation, we recommend A Lively Event and Katie!

Katie went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed at a venue that required we bring in every single thing. Our wedding was unique, beautiful, fun and truly special. Thanks to Katie and Amanda, I did not have to worry about a single detail over the wedding weekend - they handled it all! I cannot emphasize enough the importance of having a wedding planner and coordinator. Without hesitation, we recommend A Lively Event and Katie!

  Katie was amazing!

  Hiring Katie was the smartest decision we made during the wedding planning process. After handling the majority of preplanning, we chose to hire Katie so that we could actually enjoy the day and not be stressed about making sure all the details were done correctly. She more than met our expectations and we had a perfect day! Thank you Katie!!

  Don’t have your wedding without her!

  If you’re planning a wedding or event and haven’t booked Katie/A Lively Event yet, stop what you’re doing and contact her! Our wedding was truly amazing thanks to Katie’s immense knowledge, creativity and hard work. She worked with our complicated venue and our non traditional requests and really made the wedding day the best day ever! She even helped us reschedule our wedding due to the pandemic. With the things she thought of for us, I think she’s just magical. Our only regret is not working with her sooner.

  Feel All the Love and No Stress on Your Wedding Day

  You’ll hear it all the time that “your wedding day will fly by in the blink of an eye, so be sure to enjoy it.” Katie and the team at A Lively Event will make sure you do just that! She has a variety of planning packages to choose from, but we went with the month before and day of package. This means I located vendors and planned out details, then she executed the vision. I’m a crazy planner and I have to honestly say the day of was way better than my vision because of her! Katie isn’t afraid to get her hands dirty and will help with literally anything you need at any time of the day. When I had doubts that we’d pull it all together she also played the role of life coach and got me through it 😅 She has an eye for beauty and plans down to the last detail. Our day went off without a hitch and we had zero stress the day of the wedding. We were able to fully enjoy the meaning of the day and feel all the love around us. I would and will highly recommend Katie and A Lively Event to any future bride out there... we all know you do most of the wedding planning. Let Katie support you, you won’t regret it!

  Absolutely amazing

  I cannot express enough on how amazing Katie, the owner is. To say the least we have been through a lot over the course of 2 years.
  Covid made things extremely difficult, especially when it came time to change my venue & location all together. But Katie was there through it all.
  She made endless phone calls and met with numerous vendors to work things out-and YES in the end everything was PERFECT!!
  She is an expert in her field and goes WAY beyond for her clients.
  I would recommend her over and over and over.......

  Katie and her team were the absolute best! Katie was there every step of the way. On the day of the wedding, she arrived while hair and makeup was being done and was the very last to leave at the end of the night. There was an issue with the caterer and I was never even aware of it. Katie made sure to take care of it and make sure I didn't know about it until after my day was over. I don't know what we would have done without Katie and the A Lively Event team! I highly recommend you hire them! We had researched many other wedding planners and never for a second, worried about our choice of booking A Lively Event.

  Stephanie,
  Thank you so much for allowing myself and my team to be a part of your day. We are glad we could make your day run smooth.
  
  Best wishes for the future,
  Katie

  The Remington Wedding

  What a great experience! Our bride, Julie, was quite anxious about having everything fall into place. That’s where Katie and her staff came in. All emails, texts, and calls were responded to immediately! Katie also mediated between the bride and vendors, ensuring that Julie’s needs were met and, often exceeded. On the day of the wedding, things went so smoothly. Her staff even had a needle and thread on hand, so when the Father of the Groom lost a suit jacket button, it was immediately repaired. It was great to have someone else take care of details, so we could truly enjoy and adsorb the day. Katie and her staff were kind, professional, and thoughtful. They provide an invaluable service and I would recommend them in a heartbeat.

  Organized, kind, professional and fun! Look no further for a planner!

  We (Beyond Bliss Films) worked with Katie and her team at a wedding back in September of 2018 in Lake George, NY.
  
  We were absolutely blown away with the organization and communication they provided leading up to the wedding (Something we rarely get from any planners out there), as well as their professionalism and overall kindness towards us, fellow vendors, and of course the couple & guests.
  
  If you’re looking for a planner that will not only keep your day stress-free, but also make sure it’s a great time look no further than A Lively Event!!! : )

  Weekend Coordinator Hero!

  Katie was an incredible weekend coordinator! A couple of traits stood out to me:
  
  1) We wanted a funky, fun, and unstuffy summer camp wedding weekend. I so appreciated the Katie always got this vision and didn’t try to force ideas on us that weren’t aligned.
  
  2) My husband and I both have big, loud, and opinionated families. Katie kept the peace masterfully and shielded us from SO MUCH the whole weekend. I literally didn’t have to deal with any family drama and that is priceless.
  
  3) Even though I’m a fairly detail oriented person, I forgot to do some pretty big things day of (I blame stress and lack of sleep!) Katie and her team stepped in masterfully to do things like finishing the name cards for tables that I had TOTALLY forgotten about and they did it with a smile.
  
  If you feel like you’re organized enough to have a wedding without a coordinator or planner, trust me - you aren’t. Especially if you have a funky wedding that folks aren’t used to! Katie and her team were all smiles all weekend and I highly recommend a Lively Event!

  Cheerful Lifesaver

  Katie and her team were incredible! We started planning our wedding while we were still living abroad, and Katie was extremely organized and helpful the whole way through. On the day, she was fantastic, helped with setup and breakdown, was always available when we needed her, and managed the other vendors very well. She somehow managed to be in a hundred places at once and made sure we were able to enjoy our entire day without having to worry about any of the little details. Katie is a superstar at what she does, and we really can't recommend her enough!

  Wouldn’t Have Made It Down The Aisle Without Katie

  Katie and her team were phenomenal at my Adirondack wedding! I selected the month of package and Katie went above and beyond the whole time. Our venue was moderately challenging and we did not have a traditional caterer/catering team with our food trucks but I still wanted some services. Katie brought the most attentive team with her the day of the wedding, all of whom were super sweet and wonderful with anticipating the needs of our guests and jumped to move our beverage stations when it began to rain, even delivering snacks in the downpour. When we ran low on beer the team jumped into action and went and bought us more. Katie made sure that I was never concerned with any hiccups the entire day and even dealt with a vendor who was less than satisfactory for me so I didn’t need to worry about it. I was able to plan my perfect wedding day and hand it off to Katie to execute so I could live in the moment. Our day was perfect because of her team and I cannot imagine it happening without her!

  Pleasant to work with

  She hired my business to remove trash from an event because the venue had no receptacle. She was very organized, and easy to work with. We were early so I was able to see the the professional manner in which she interacted with her clients and staff. The couple raved about how great she was. There was a small snag with the task we were hired to do, coupled with a mess from an all day rain but it went smoothly, thanks to her ability to think on her feet and her commitment to ensuring her couples a seamless experience. My crew even stayed to help break down the venue and clean up. From what I saw, I believe she's the best in the business, and an absolute delight to work with, and if you're looking for perfection, even in unforseen adversity, I'd suggest hiring Katie and her team. I hope to work with her again.

  Katie is an absolute ROCKSTAR

  There are not enough incredible words to describe the amazing work she put into our wedding. My husband and I were planning our Vermont wedding while living in Australia, which was not an easy task. We got Katie on board 18 months before the wedding and it was the best decision we ever made. She was so patient in helping us find a venue and ended up finding the perfect spot after months of searching. Having someone so knowledgeable helping me plan was exactly what I needed to help me get through it all. Katie answered endless questions and was always happy to hop on FaceTime at 6am! When it came finally came to the wedding weekend I couldn’t have been more grateful for having Katie and her team there. She was able to organise a bridal party of 16 and keep 30 Australians on time all while making sure our 105 guests made it to our island ceremony. She truly does whatever it takes to make your big day as special as possible. She’s there when all of your table cloths come wrinkled, when you have to get 50 people across a lake by boat for the rehearsal and when you forgets your vows on the other side of the property just before the ceremony. She saved the day so many times and kept her calm every minute of it. I never had to stress about a thing because I knew she was always two steps ahead. Our wedding truly would not have been the same without her. I cannot recommend Katie, of A Lively Event, enough. She will make your wedding planning a breeze and your big day magical!
