Katharine Phillips Event & Design

Katharine was the best decision we ever made. We were planning a destination wedding in a very remote location in the Adirondacks for which we had a guest list of close to 200. From the beginning, Katharine exuded knowledge, confidence, calmness, and was just plain fun. For a woman who lost her mom young, I had no idea what I was doing when it came to planning a wedding or the formal etiquette that goes with one; she made things so much easier for me and everything much more meaningful. She noted my anxieties about family dynamics and/or concerns when it came to our guests comfort and immediately stepped in and had solutions and calmed the waters. She even managed to calm my then fiance's particularities about the guests tables being too cluttered. She is a sweetheart through and through and it definitely shows in her work. She made every moment special and always asked me if there were details or elements that would make it even more special for me and my husband. On the day of my wedding, we had set-up a special chair with flowers with a picture of my mom and grandmother who had sinced passed. Before the ceremony, Katharine caught several pictures of a monarch butterfly that hand landed on the side of the frame. Before I walked down the aisle, she showed me this image telling me that my mom and grandmother were there to witness this important day. This is the kind and beautiful heart that Katharine shows with her couples. I feel so special to have gotten to work with her. She is definitely great at what she does and is an all-around wonderful person.

Words cannot describe how just, absolutely wonderful Katharine Phillips is. She did so much for us leading up to our wedding day and on the day/weekend itself. We had a two year engagement, a massive, out of town, wedding, and lots and lots of unique requests. She handled everything incredibly - introduced us to other incredible vendors, was a great communicator, kept us calm yet focused...I don't think there were any moments we got stressed with Katharine by our side, even when something didn't go exactly as we'd planned. She was our rock for two full years and I cannot recommend her enough. Oh, and she has incredible design sense and taste, which is also super helpful when creating a vision for the fanciest party you are ever going to throw - so even outside of all of the logistical help she provided us, she made our wedding absolutely gorgeous. We also had multiple different events pre and post wedding that she helped with, so it was a haul and she just knocked it all out of the park. I truly just cannot say enough about how wonderful Katharine is. Can I give a 6th star? Is that an option? Thank you thank you thank you Katharine, from the bottom of our hearts.

Katharine was a true professional with the best personality! Not only did she have our confidence, she was a joy to work with. Always punctual, informative and calming! If you are on the fence about whether or not you need an event planner, YOU DO! Katharine is the best.
