“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!”
Hey, I’m Katie!
I’m your dedicated Hudson Valley wedding planner and one of the owners of The Maples Estate—an exclusive New York destination wedding venue designed for unforgettable weekend-long celebrations.
While many wedding planners come from hospitality or catering backgrounds, I come from the world of event production—where creativity, logistics, and bold ideas collide. With 15+ years of experience producing everything from multi-day destination weddings to large-scale concerts and music festivals, I bring a unique perspective to wedding planning. I specialize in creating immersive, meaningful experiences that break the mold and reflect the individuality of every couple.
I’m never afraid to think outside the lines—my goal is always to build elevated, one-of-a-kind weddings that feel deeply personal, wildly fun, and totally you. From concept to execution, I bring a calm, intentional approach and handle every detail behind the scenes so you can be fully present and enjoy every moment.
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 storytelling, thoughtful design, and seamless execution, I’m here to bring your vision to life in a way that’s elevated, authentic, and unforgettable. Let’s create a wedding weekend that truly feels like you.
