Katydyd Events - Newburyport, Massachusetts

I cannot recommend Katie and Katydyd Events enough. We hired her for our September 2024 wedding and can honestly say we had the most wonderful and stress-free experience. From our initial meeting to our wedding day, we knew we were in good hands with Katie. We had numerous check in calls to see where we were at and Katie was always available on email to answer any questions we had or to calm any nerves. We were provided with numerous checklists, vendor suggestions, timeline mock-ups, and many other items that we would have never even thought we needed. Katie was amazing at working with our outside vendors and providing a seamless timeline. She was such a joy to work with throughout the wedding planning process and on our wedding day was a bright face that kept everything in motion. I can honestly say that due in large part to Katie, our wedding was absolutely perfect and nothing went wrong at all (and if it did, she never let us find out about it!). If you want to have amazing details, the perfect wedding, and someone by your side every step of the way, Katie and Katydyd Events should be your #1 choice! I wish I could have another wedding just to work with her again!

Words cannot describe how AMAZING working with Katie was. From day one, she made us feel so comfortable and calm about our wedding day. Her attention to detail, creativity, and timeliness (among so many other things), made her such a pleasure to work with. Our wedding day was beyond our expectations, and we could not have had such a special weekend without Katie's hard work. If you're looking for a wedding plan, you need to hire Katie and her team!

Katie is genuinely the wedding planner of your dreams. She was the first "vendor" we hired (even though she is SO much more than that) and we knew from our initial meeting that she was the perfect person to help us execute our day. Katie quickly became not just our wedding planner, but someone who we fully trusted and cherished and turned to for any type of advice throughout our wedding process. Our wedding 10000% would not have been the wedding we had if it was not for her. We have received so many compliments on how our wedding was the best wedding our guests have ever been to.. all I can say is Katie.

I am someone who generally gets nerves or anxiety on big days, and I was SO calm throughout the whole entire day and I was able to just soak it all in. It makes me tear up thinking about how I was able to enjoy my wedding day fully, and that was because we had Katie by our side.

She helped us with every single aspect leading up to the day. Every vendor, every question, RSVPs, invoice, where we can save, where to splurge, advice on family dynamics, our rehearsal dinner, welcome reception, what we needed, what we did not necessarily need, and how to add personal touches. And just so much more. I would text her any time thoughts popped into my head, and she would always be there to help.

Our wedding day was perfect. It has now been a month and I still can not believe that our day was as amazing as it was. It was flawless, everything went absolutely seamless, and it is due to the hard work and planning by Katie. She does so much leading up to the day, and on the day, that everything preventable in her power is taken care of. I heard after the fact that something out of our control happened, and Katie took care of it diligently, I had no idea it even happened and it was resolved within seconds.

Our bridal party and our families absolutely adored her. We did a speech and we thanked her, and our whole wedding started chanting her name. She of course hated it, but she deserved it. I know wedding planners like to stay out of the spotlight, but how can we not give recognition to THE person who made our day so amazing. We set a precedent now with our friends and family that everyone has to have Katie. We love her. She will, without a doubt, be the best decision you make for your wedding.

One week later and we are still glowing from our wedding! From my first call with Katie, I immediately felt comfortable with her and confident that she would make our wedding a truly special day. We could not have had the special weekend we did without Katie. We used Katie for "design coordination and day-of" but honestly she did SO much more than that. Throughout the planning process, she made sure we did not miss any details and asked us questions we never would have thought of. She put together the design plan that I always dreamed of and helped partner with vendors to make sure it was executed well. She kept us, our wedding party and our family calm and organized on the big day. And she did all of this with a bubbly personality, realistic expecations and honest demeanor. The day of the wedding we did not worry about a thing!! If there was a hiccup, we didn't know about it and instead could take in the day with our loved ones.
We feel so blessed to have worked with Katie and consider her a friend now. For the countless emails I sent, for the budget planning you helped with, for making our families feel included but at ease and for making our big day the best day....THANK YOU!!!

If I could give 10/10 stars I would. Katie is a true angel on Earth. My husband and I could never have pulled off such a memorable and perfect 175-person backyard wedding without her and her team. We hired Katydyd for day-of planning, but Katie was SO MUCH MORE than a day-of planner. She truly made us feel like we were her only couple for the entire year we worked with her. She is so incredibly organized and knows her stuff inside and out. She is accessible, creative, caring, and her amazing passion for what she does is obvious as soon as you meet her. I even had a few vendors ask me for her info because they were so impressed with her work and want to recommend her to their clients! You absolutely can not go wrong with putting Katie in charge of your big day. If you want perfection, don't look anywhere else! She was easily the best decision we ever made and we owe all of the perfection of our day to her and her team! We can't thank you all enough!

Katie was without a doubt the most perfect wedding planner for us. Ever since our first meeting with her we knew we were in great hands. As a couple without much wedding experience there was a lot of the process we didn't know about, and Katie did an amazing job not only educating us so we fully understand but also bringing our vision to life. We also trusted Katie's creative ideas when it came to the execution of the wedding design and she did not disappoint. We truly had the wedding of our dreams and it was all thanks to Katie!

The best money I spent for my wedding was hiring Katie. As someone who lives in California and was hosting my wedding in Massachusetts, I needed a partner who I could rely on for local insights and boots on the ground execution. Katie was all of that and more. She helped me build a team of truly best-in-class vendors who were kind, professional and very talented. She developed an incredibly personalized design plan for each part of our wedding day, and brought that vision to life through small details. She built a master timeline for the months leading up to the wedding, as well as the day of, and kept all parties (bride / groom, family, vendors) coordinated and on schedule. When issues arose, which is inevitable when planning such a big event with so many moving pieces, she was a fantastic problem-solver and moved quickly to correct things. Very importantly, she always made herself available to answer questions or chat though an issue - you would literally never know that she had other weddings she was working on. There isn't enough space on this page for me to appropriately convey my gratitude to Katie for everything she did to make our day perfect. There is not one thing we would have changed about our wedding, and we credit so much of that to Katie.

If you are looking for a wedding planner who is going to go above and beyond to ensure your wedding day is absolutely perfect, then look no further than Katie and her team! I truly do not have enough words to describe how indispensable Katie was throughout the entire wedding planning process. I hired her to do event management, and she exceeded all expectations. She is so much more than a wedding planner as she deeply cares about each of her clients and truly works overtime to help them create the day of their dreams. Katie made the planning process so easy -- she provided amazing vendor recommendations, gave me decor advice, built and managed all my timelines, coordinated with all my vendors and even ran our rehearsal. On wedding day, she and her team setup all my decor exactly the way I wanted it, and she even steamed my wedding dress herself! In short, Katie is an absolute rockstar and I can't imagine my wedding day without her. Do yourself a favor and hire Katie -- I promise you will be very happy you did!
