My husband and I truly floated through our day and enjoyed every moment, because we knew Kaitlyn had everything under control behind the scenes. And she did it all while keeping us within the budget we’d discussed since day one. I never thought I’d say I miss wedding planning, but with Kaitlyn by my side I most certainly do.

She is truly a wizard in making you feel at ease. I was planning my CT wedding from Florida and Kaitlyn was incredibly attentive and supportive in putting together what I was envisioning for our wedding. Now that our wedding is over and we no longer have a reason to incessantly text or call I am a little bit sad, she was a staple in my life and she became such a beautiful part of our wedding and life.
Kait has a way of making you feel like you're the only client she's working with.”
