Hey, I’m Katie!
I’m your dedicated Hudson Valley wedding planner and the owner, full-service planner, coach, and coordinator at The Maples Estate—an exclusive New York wedding venue designed for unforgettable weekend-long celebrations!
I’m passionate about curating unique, stress-free wedding experiences that reflect your style while running seamlessly behind the scenes. With 15+ years in event planning, I’ve produced everything from multi-day weddings to concerts, music festivals, and large-scale productions. My expertise in logistics and creative design ensures that every detail is handled, so you can fully immerse yourself in your celebration.
A Few Fun Facts About Me:
I studied music industry in high school and college but fell in love with planning weddings & events! I get the backstage side of events—just like a concert or festival, a wedding is a live production, where I expertly handle all the moving parts behind the scenes.
Historic homes and renovations are my obsession—designing interiors is my happy place! I have an eye for layering vintage and modern elements—perfect for curating décor that feels timeless and intentional. I love creating warm, inviting atmospheres, ensuring every space feels both functional and stunning.
I grew up on an island in Washington State’s Puget Sound where the beauty of the outdoors influenced my love of natural spaces and design. I love incorporating organic textures, florals, and colors in ways that make a wedding feel effortlessly connected to its surroundings.
In my spare time, I write, record, and perform music. I understand the importance of energy shifts—when to bring high-energy moments and when to create intimate, quiet pauses throughout the weekend.
With a deep love for event design, smooth execution, and creating unforgettable experiences, I can bring any vision to life. Let’s make your dream wedding weekend come to life!

What Our Clients & Vendor Partners Love About Working With Us!
“Katie is one of the most organized and thoughtful event managers I have ever worked with. Her focus is truly on making the couple’s day perfect and coordinating all of the vendors to make that happen! I would highly recommend this venue to anyone and so appreciate all of the work that Katie and her team put into each event!”
“Katie helped us create exactly what we wanted, found great vendors for everything and kept everything organized…there is simply no way we could have organized anything remotely as wonderfully without Katie’s expertise. We were extremely happy to be able to host our friends and family in such a beautiful place and to be able to put on a celebration that was uniquely ours!”
“You gotta get married here! Working with Katie, who owns the venue, made wedding planning so enjoyable. She is calm, knowledgable, and such a joy to work with.”
“She could plan the presidents wedding and make it look easy. You would be lucky to have her play such an instrumental role in your special day.”
