Your love story shouldn’t just be told — it should be experienced. And our role is to turn your wedding into just that: an experience.
One so telling, your guests will know it’s yours the moment they open the invitation.
One so timeless, you’ll remember it as if it was yesterday for decades to come.
One so organized, you’ll actually enjoy the planning process.
Such an extraordinary event is only achieved through extraordinary expertise. And because of ours, we know the value of listening intently, asking the right questions, and accounting for every detail as we weave your love story into an unforgettable wedding weekend experience.
This is a Kate Whelan Events™ signature.
“She listened to everything my husband and I wanted out of our wedding day and made all of our dreams come true. No attention to detail was overlooked, no extra step wasn't taken to ensure our special day was one we would never forget.”
— Mandi

You’ve spent months diligently planning the wedding of your dreams, and now the date has finally arrived. Entrusting Kate Whelan Events to deliver a joyful wedding day means you can be fully present and soak in every moment. Unlike a “day-of” wedding coordinator, our work begins well in advance of your wedding day, including access to several digital planning resources and our expert team’s execution of your well-laid plans.
Month-Of Coordination is our base level service, allowing you to experience KWE’s sought-after wedding production services while planning all of the details yourself. If you are looking for “Day of” Coordination, please read this page on Why We Do Not Offer “Day of” Coordination.

- We begin planning with a venue search (if needed) and budget meeting. Understanding these two details makes each subsequent decision easier. With decades of experience between our team, we’ll consider every detail you’ve thought of and many that you haven’t to conceptualize your wedding day.
- Design begins with a one-hour meeting to better understand your likes and dislikes. We’ll evaluate design inspiration together, ask detailed questions, and discuss functional details, too. A few weeks later, you’ll receive a thorough plan showing how we’ll tell your love story through design.
- On your wedding day, we’ll produce a stunning event that’s as beautiful as it is well-run. With our team handling the event timeline, vendor management, and set-up and break-down, you’ll be able to stay present on your wedding day and truly celebrate this special occasion.
