Meet Your Wedding Planner!

 

Hey, I’m Katie!

I’m a New York wedding planner serving as the owner, full service planner, coach and coordinator here at The Maples Estate in upstate New York!

I absolutely LOVE creating unique weekend long wedding experiences that will last a lifetime. As a New York wedding planner and a doer, I cannot help myself from dreaming up fun ways to make weddings unique and memorable while also running as smoothly as possible! I’m the one that makes sure every detail is set so you don’t have to. With a passion for operations and over 14 yrs experience planning weddings and events, I have designed, facilitated and produced a wide range of events from weekend long weddings to music and city festivals, concerts, corporate events, conferences, block parties, craft markets, fitness programs, and seminars.

Some Fun Facts About Me:

  • I went to college and high school for music industry and got hooked planning and producing weddings and events!

  • I play music under the moniker Bear Grass where i write, record and perform in my spare time!

  • I absolutely LOVE historic houses and getting my hands dirty with a renovation! The best part is the interior design!

  • I grew up on an island in Washington State’s puget sound!

With a wide background in event design and execution, anything we dream up I can bring to life!


I can not express enough how fantastic Katie is. I have worked with several dozen, possibly a hundred wedding planners and she is truly way above par in the industry. 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.

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. We added the wedding coaching package which was 100% worth it. Katie kept us on track, helped us with the timeline, and took care of the venue coordination leading up to the wedding.

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!
