    Best experience for the best day!

    PRP and Katie Cole absolutely knocked my wedding day out of the park. I hired them 9 months out from my wedding and from the get go Katie was communicative and flexible. She got onboarded with a brand new venue she'd never worked at before that made her jump through alot of hoops and she did it all with no complaints. The planning process was great and she was willing to offer plenty of services without being pushy and letting me choose what worked best with my needs and budget. The week of the wedding she was so reassuring and the day of the wedding she absolutely killed it. She was so on top of the venue, vendors, timeline, my family, and my guests I didn't have a worry in the world! I got to enjoy my wedding 100% to the fullest and it made the day even more special. Katie & her team made sure that not only were my husband & I taken care of every second, but they made sure to cater to my family and friends above and beyond. Couldn't have asked for a better experience!!

    BEST Money I Spent !!!

    Katie and her team made my daughter's wedding so spectacular! We could NOT have done it without them. They made the bride feel so special and cared for all day even while working tirelessly to help set up and keep everything running smoothly. They had great attention to detail and even stopped to help make sure sure I (mother of the bride) felt confident tying the cords for their handfasting ceremony. They did not leave until everything was torn down and cleaned. I had great vendors for her wedding, but THIS was the BEST money I spent, hands down. Would recommend 10/10!!!!!

    BEST WEDDING COORDINATOR

    We had such an amazing experience with Katie! She was thoughtful, organized and clear with her communication. She made the day smooth and seem less with my large family! (She was very good at wrangling the cats.) I would recommend her for everyone’s wedding and she will be the coordinator for the rest of my families weddings! We love Katie and the PRP family!

    Thank you so much for your sweet review! 🤍 It was such an honor to be part of your wedding day, and I'm so glad I could help make everything run smoothly and see you all again. Your family was a joy to work with, and hearing that you'd trust us with future family weddings is the biggest compliment we could receive. Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness, and we can't wait to celebrate with your family again!

    Amazing Coordinators!

    I mostly planned my wedding myself but knew that I did not want to have to worry about anything but walking down the aisle on the day of. Katie and Kylie absolutely made me feel like I was in great hands. I knew that I trusted them to make any decisions last minute or on my behalf. They were flexible when things inevitably happened that we were not expecting. It was also great to bounce ideas and get their genuine and honest feedback. The day went smoothly and I know that was largely because of them!

    Thank you for your kind words Kailynn and we genuinely appreciate your time and support. It was such a wonderful experience assisting you with your special day!

    Bride

    Katie and her team were phenomenal! Working with her for over a year planning my wedding was such a joy. She always made everything less stressful and had such great advise throughout the whole planning process. On my big day, she took care of everything so that I was able to relax and enjoy my wedding. I would recommend her to any couple planning a wedding!
