Wonderstruck Seattle Wedding Planner

Katie at Wonderstruck was absolutely AMAZING! She took our vision for our wedding and absolutely KILLED it! She took the entire event to the next level and my jaw literally dropped when I walked into the venue. She turned my dreams into a reality and made our a wedding day everything that we hoped for and even more. Katie’s attention to detail and her ability to see the potential in a space is awe inspiring. She helped me think outside the box, made sure every little detail was covered, and ensured that the entire day — actually, the entire week leading up to the day — went off without a hitch. She has such a calm and soothing demeanor and really advocates for her clients. I never felt rushed or like I was asking too many questions. Katie is a true professional and artist. You can hire Katie and then totally relax, trusting that you’re in good hands. If I had to do it all over again, hands down I’d choose Katie every single time. THANK YOU KATIE!

Katie was wonderful! We hired her mostly for day-​of coordination, but we really got more than that. We had regular meetings where she kept us on a healthy timeline and reminded us of the many (many MANY) things we would’ve forgotten and let fall through the cracks.
I like to think I’m a fairly organized person, so I REALLY appreciate that in others. I knew that once our core planning was done and everything was ready to go, I could hand it off to Katie and would’ve have any issues. I was practically bored on my wedding day – such a lovely feeling. Just sitting around and gabbing with my bridesmaids, not a single concern about how venue setup was going or if we’d be ready to go on time.
Bonus: Some venues will give you a discount if you have a day-​of coordinator. Let your friends and family relax and celebrate with you, and leave the stress in more capable hands!

Katie and Nicole gave my husband and me total peace of mind that our wedding day would be relaxed and beautiful. We were so glad to have their help throughout the entire, stressful process! They were familiar with many of our vendors already, able to give very helpful tips and recommendations, and willing & able to take charge and make executive decisions when needed. Kind, talented, reliable, creative, and excellent eyes for design… we can’t say enough good things. Bonus points for their patience/​guidance while my husband and I hashed out some of the details of our disparate wedding visions during preliminary meetings. :)

Katie and Nicole were absolutely amazing! They are organized, professional and calm. Despite having only contracted Katie to help us 45 days before the wedding, she met with us several times as early as 9 months prior to the event. She had great recommendations for vendors and would often contact them in advance to make sure they were available.
In addition to being a great wedding planner, Katie is a very talented florist. She did the flowers for our wedding. They were gorgeous and affordable. I cannot say enough good things about her. She made the wedding planning process a breeze. Hiring Katie was the best decision we made while planning the wedding!

I attended the Mardi Gras Party, hosted by Wonderstruck, last week. The event was amazing. Their main event hall was fully decorated. There was a food truck, complimentary Hurricanes, Beer and Bottled Water, and lots of entertainment. I particularly enjoyed the magician doing card tricks. He was amazing! A New Orleans style band danced through the crowd and everyone was wearing beads. It was as close to a real Mardi Gras celebration as you are going to find (outside of New Orleans). Lots of people and lots of fun. Thanks Katie for hosting a great event!

Hiring Katie was the best single best wedding decision I made. (Wait no. The groom was the best. But Katie was a clear second.)
The morning of our wedding started with Katie delivering a box of muffins, strawberries, and champagne to our hotel room. She is that kind of person. She has thought of every little thing that will make the day go perfectly, and she has them staged somewhere without you even having to think about it.
I’ve heard so many brides talk about how stressful it was trying to coordinate everything on their wedding day, and thanks to Katie that was not my experience at all. It was the best feeling to have everything handled and to be able to say, whenever anyone asked me anything, «I don’t know! Just ask Katie!»
Between the time we hired her for day-​of coordination and the wedding, she planned our timeline for the rehearsal and wedding day, found our DJ and my makeup artist, made checklists so we knew what we needed to work on, had multiple meetings with us and our venue to plan every detail, made our floor plan, coordinated our rentals, made beautiful signs, and answered all our questions.
She hosted a flower arranging lesson for the bridal party, made all the bouquets and corsages (which were amazing), decorated the entire venue, coordinated the vendors, and made sure everyone was in the right place at the right time without ever being pushy.
I can’t imagine how we would have pulled off our wedding without Katie’s help.

Katie is the full package – not only is she a brilliant artist and designer but she is incredibly thoughtful, organized, articulate, and resourceful. Whether you want help with big picture stuff, custom design work, or day-​of coordination Katie will bring your vision to life and exceed your expectations at every turn. I have worked with Katie on several events and projects and am consistently impressed with her professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Fabulous designer for custom wedding invitations! My fiancé and I were under a tight deadline to get some invitations put together for our destination Maui wedding. Katie drove to meet up with us and brought several creative ideas to the table. She is used to doing letterpress, but she rose to the challenge with our digital vintage island postcard concept! She designed a custom map on one of the cards so that our guests will know exactly where our wedding venue is. Katie also designed some gorgeous orchids on our RSVP cards. Our invites turned out beautiful & I can’t wait to hear what our guests say about them!

Katie is a life saver! We hired her as the wedding planner for my daughters wedding. She stepped in 8 weeks before the big day and handled every detail with a smile! Katie is talented in design, has an abundance of knowledge and enthusiasm for what she does! We were very impressed and will definitely recommend her to anyone in need of having a stress free wedding day!

I worked with Katie over the summer on a gorgeous photo shoot, and I couldn’t have been more impressed! It’s a rare bird that can stage a setting, coordinate all the players involved and organize the timing so smoothly-​without breaking into a sweat!
As a florist I have worked with many event coordinators over the years, and the stress and anxiety they carry with them day of can unfortunately be contagious… the last thing any bride needs on her wedding day!
Katie was so fun and so calm to work with throughout the photo shoot. I look forward to working with her much more in the future!

Katie is the best kind of creative person; she’s an artist and visionary who actually gets things DONE. She is incredibly organized, personable, patient, and trustworthy. Her corporate background gives her the tools she needs to be an affective team member and leader on any project. I have absolutely enjoyed working with her on photo-​shoots and look forward to working with her in the future!
If you are looking for an imaginative designer for your wedding or event –whether it’s classic, quirky, or somewhere in-​between– Katie is a wonderful choice. She will make your event gorgeous, and will make you glad to have hired her. :)

Katie is awesome! As an event and portrait photographer, I have worked with a number of venue coordinators or event designers, and Katie is fast becoming a top favorite! The more I get to know her and her sparkly new biz the more I find out she can do, and do well! A true artist, Katie seems to bring an extremely creative and fresh perspective to each project she tackles, while still weaving a thread of great style through each area of her business. In my opinion, Katie «gets it»! And it’s a rarity in this industry to find that skill and intuition in someone so humble and kind.
If you need great ideas, great eye for details and story, and great style, all wrapped up in a great experience, call her. You won’t be disappointed!
