a weekend built from the ground up
“Hiring Katie and her team was the best decision we made for our wedding weekend.”
“From the very start, she was always checking in, answering every little question, and handling all the communication with our vendors so I never had to worry about a thing. We had our wedding at an Airbnb, which meant everything had to be brought in and coordinated from scratch, and she made it feel effortless. She was at the property a day before my family and I even arrived, already setting everything up and making sure every detail was perfect.
She also organized our rehearsal dinner and next-day brunch, making the entire weekend flow seamlessly. Every moment felt magical, and she executed my vision so beautifully that I still can’t believe how perfectly it all came together.
On top of her incredible organization and talent for planning, she is truly the sweetest and kindest person. I never once felt stressed throughout the entire process because I knew she had everything handled. I will be forever grateful to Katie for giving us the most perfect wedding weekend, it was truly better than we could have dreamed of.”

“Service Matters did my wedding day beautifully! Probably my best spent money. Took off all of my stress!”
— Rebekah and Ahmed • 2021
“We are finally coming down from the highs of the wedding, and we’ve been reflecting and looking back on this weekend’s events, along with the past year we’ve spent together.
We are so deeply grateful for your support, guidance, and care that you’ve put into making our dream wedding come true, beyond what we could have imagined. And I know you get this probably a lot from every couple that you’ve helped, but we truly believe that your genuine care, willingness to put in that extra effort, and being available at any moment really made us feel protected, supported, and in good hands.
We also know that every couple thinks that their wedding is the best, but we truly believe you’ve helped us create a wedding that our guests will talk about for years to come, and of course, so will we.”

“Do yourself a favor - hire Service Matters for your wedding!
I truly do not have enough good things to say about Katie! Not only is she just a genuinely kind and caring person, she is fantastic at her craft. She is so on the ball from start to finish of helping to plan your event. I hired Katie as wedding planner and my only issue is that I didn’t hire her sooner! She always goes above and beyond for her clients, and you can tell by her perfectionism and attention to detail that she really loves what she does. She made my big day absolutely perfect and i cannot recommend her highly enough. Thank you so much Katie!!!”

“We hired Katie after I saw the amazing job she did with my best friend's wedding.
I had no doubt we would be using her for our own wedding. She surpassed my expectations when it came time to bring our crazy wedding ideas and dreams to reality. She was there for every step of the way and was very responsive. Katie became a part of our family during the planning process. It was so much fun to bring our vision to life with someone who had as much passion for our big day as we did. We didn't have to worry about coordinating with the vendors throughout the process or worry about the little things the day of our wedding, which was amazing!
It was such a treat to enjoy our wedding day and not have to worry about the moving parts around us. Katie and her team allowed us to be the guests of honor and not the host, which was so worth it.”

“Katie and her team were amazing!! Every little detail was covered so I didn’t have to worry about anything.
Katie really listens to you and makes your dream a reality. Her and staff were so professional even with a few obstacles and a rain storm so heavy we will have about 50 years good luck. I would 100% recommend them for any occasion. You will be not be sorry.”
— Dee and Noah • 2021
“Katie and her team are absolute rock stars. She went so above and beyond what I expected and what she agreed to and our day wouldn’t have come together without her. Katie took my vision and turned it into a reality making each part of the wedding day exactly what we wanted and somehow so much better. she has an excellent design eye, and her florals are beautiful and professional! She’s reliable, a great communicator, and an all-around amazing planner. if you’re on the fence about getting a planner, let this be your sign— Katie made it possible for me to pull this wedding off and without her I would’ve run away into the woods before the day ever came (to elope!). if I’m ever in the business of throwing a large event again, Katie will be my first call!”
— Nicole and James • 2025
“Katie has the exact energy you want from a wedding planner - calm, reassuring, encouraging you not to settle and do things in a unique way. As a bride who struggled with anxiety, I always left our conversations feeling much more empowered and excited.
My husband and I both have very large families, so our wedding last July was -quite- big (as was our wedding party!) but everything ran so smoothly all day - the SMNE team kept us on schedule and we were truly able to let go and enjoy the day. Our rustic-eclectic vision came to life beautifully, from the long banquet tables to the perfectly multicolor candles Katie sourced. To this day, our guests tell us our wedding was one of the most fun they've ever attended - that doesn't happen without a planning team that is *on it*!”
