“Working alongside Katie from Under the Willow Events truly highlights what separates a good wedding planner from a great one. The real test of a planner and coordinator is their ability to adapt in any situation, and Katie does so with calm confidence, grace, and genuine care. From a photographer’s perspective, I’m often pulled into roles that overlap with planning and coordination, helping organize timelines, direct logistics, and keep the day flowing smoothly. Katie not only excels in those moments, but she creates a warm, grounding presence that immediately puts couples at ease. She is deeply invested in her couples’ experience, always going above and beyond to support both them and the entire vendor team. Weddings are better, smoother, and more joyful with Katie at the helm, and I can’t recommend her highly enough.”
