Client Praise
We know we provide great service, but don't take our word for it... take theirs!
Posted on Clare Hoffman We absolutely loved working with Kate as our month of wedding coordinator! She managed all of our vendors day of, set up decor, and made everything as stress free as possible not only on us, but also for our families. It was additionally great to have the experienced voice asking all of the logistical/practical questions that you usually don't think about if you're not experienced with the event planning industry. Would highly recommend using her for your next event!Posted on Elizabeth Baumann Having Kate as our day of coordinator was easily some of the best wedding money that my now husband and I could have spent! She is cool, calm, collected, efficient and so detail oriented. We got numerous comments from our wedding party and family on how good at her job she was and how smoothly everything went - thanks to her! I could not recommend her more, she was the key factor in having a stress free, fun and amazing day! Thanks so much, Kate!!Posted on Holly Schoenberg Kate was absolutely incredible to work with. After a quick meeting a month before the wedding, she knew exactly how to execute our vision and desire for a beautiful, welcoming, laid back wedding. She helped us pull all of our ideas into a solid plan and corralled all of our vendors, alleviating much of our stress. Our wedding day was perfect, and we can't recommend ZBT Events enough!Posted on Katie Wilkinson We hired Kate for our recent wedding as our month of planner and boy am I so grateful I did! From the moment I talked on the phone with her, I knew that she was going to be my gal to help pull everything together. Kate knows what she is doing and brings such a calm energy to what can sometimes can be a little chaotic without that extra help! Kate was there for our rehearsal the night before and made sure we were comfortable with how the next day went and was there to help set up for the day of. I can’t thank Kate enough for the part she played on our big day and HIGHLY recommend her company for any of your event planning needs! 100/10 service!Posted on Beth Larson Kate from ZBT Events went above and beyond on every single detail to make our large-scale event a tremendous success. Outside of keeping us organized and connecting with the best vendors in the biz, Kate contributed creative ideas and suggested elements for our event that we would never have thought of. She pulled everything together seamlessly, always proactive in her communications and plans. The event could not have gone any better and my whole team at Agrace adored working with Kate. If I could give her 100 stars, I would.Posted on Zack Hardy Kate was a fantastic wedding planner. We’d already gotten a lot of the big pieces for our wedding taken care of (such as photographer, ceremony and reception venues, and a DJ), but Kate was instrumental for helping us determine all the decorations that would match our theme (not to mention setting all of them up at the venue and making the whole place gorgeous), and put us in touch with the last handful of vendors (such as our florist, and bakery for our cake). We really wanted someone we could bounce ideas off of and get a good sense of what made sense and Kate was perfect for that. She was also fantastic at handling all the last minute problems and snafus that come up with weddings so we could just focus on our big day, and managing and communicating with all the various vendors so we didn’t have to. Hiring Kate was some of the best money we spent on a vendor for our wedding. Throughout our whole day, one of the things my now wife and I keep saying to each other was, “Thank God Kate is here to handle all of that.”Posted on Anne Velazquez We hired Kate (ZBT Events) as our month-of coordinator, and she was an absolute game changer. We were not sure we were going to hire any type of wedding planner, but hiring Kate was the best decision we made to make our wedding stress-free and seamless! A month before our wedding, she helped us finalize our timeline and coordinated with all our vendors to make sure they had all the information they needed for wedding day. She had great tips and advice for our venue layout, flow of events, and tips and tricks to make things easier on us. She is organized, a great communicator, and clearly knows what she is doing. She handled every little detail so we could actually enjoy the day, and everything flowed seamlessly because of her. On wedding day she was calm while making everything happen smoothly and on time behind the scenes. She was flexible and made sure to let us enjoy the day while still making sure we got everything done including photos, paperwork, and eating! We were so grateful for her calm, kind, and capable presence! I have no idea how we would have gotten through wedding day without her. Thank you, Kate!Posted on McKenzie Currie My husband and I loved working with Kate. We initially were not planning on hiring a wedding planner as we figured we could do everything ourselves however, once it came down to it, we decided we really needed someone to make sure the night went smoothly. It was so great to have been recommended Kate as I think the night could have been a bit of an unorganized mess without her. The great thing about working with Kate is the customizable package. In our case, we already had everything planned for the most part (venue, food, decor, etc) but were able to hire Kate for all of the vendor coordination/communication (what a blessing), help with all the details and Kate's expertise when we were unsure, complete set up on the day of, and making sure everything went as planned. Kate put out potential fires with our dinner service before it became an issue, communicated with all of our vendors throughout the night so we could simply enjoy ourselves and packed away our decor when it was no longer needed so the end of the night clean up was a breeze. Thank you so much Kate!! We'd hire you again and again!!Posted on Kelly Welch We are so incredibly grateful for our day of coordinator, Kate. She was everything we hoped for and so much more. From the moment we connected, she was kind, intelligent, and effortlessly easy to work with. On the day of our wedding, she made sure everything ran smoothly and seamlessly, truly, we didn’t have to worry about a single thing. Kate is incredibly efficient and organized, but also brings a calm, positive energy that made the day feel even more joyful. She’s not only professional, but also genuinely funny, which helped keep the mood light and fun throughout the day. We can’t say enough good things about her. If you’re looking for someone who will handle your wedding day with care, grace, and total competence, Kate is the one. She made our day so special and stress free. Love Kelly and Eric!!Posted on Corissa Lotta I cannot say enough positive things about Kate and ZBT Events! I have thrown many parties, although have never used an event planner before. For our 25th wedding anniversary I was hesitant but decided to go for it because it was going to be a big party (175 guests at our home) - and Kate was instrumental in making it a wild success. Prior to the party, she provided excellent resources and helped me think through every nitty-gritty detail. She even contacted all of my vendors and made herself the point person for each of them, including providing them with every detail and even a map of where they would be stationed that night. And I cannot even begin to describe the treasure Kate was the day of the party – from making sure everything was set up and beautiful prior to people arriving, to attending to every vendor and their needs, to replenishing food and drink. She even took care of me, telling me at every turn, “Sit down, relax, and enjoy! I’ve got this!” And, wow, did she ever. Words cannot express what a gift it was to hand it over and trust her to ensure that everything was running smoothly. Not only did the guests have a blast, but SO DID I!!! I may never again be able to throw even a small party without her. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
