Meet the katie behind 

KATIE EVENTS

I’ve always loved a reason to celebrate. From a young age, I was planning and executing sweet sixteens and birthday parties, and later running baking classes for kids. What started early on as something I simply loved to do eventually became the career I had always imagined for myself.

After college, I moved to Dallas, where I began my career working alongside two of the industry’s most respected wedding planners. Over the next several years, I gained experience in full-service planning, floral, design, and production—learning how thoughtful details, beautiful design, and seamless execution come together to create an unforgettable celebration.

Eventually, I returned home to St. Louis to create Katie Events. Today, I have the privilege of planning celebrations in St. Louis and destinations across the country, creating events that feel personal, intentional, and entirely reflective of the people at the heart of them.

My love language is a table setting

There’s something about a beautifully set table that gets me every time—the linens, the florals, the perfect place setting, and all the thoughtful little details that bring it together. I believe the most memorable events are made in those details, and creating spaces that feel just as special as the people gathered around them is one of my favorite parts of what I do.

There’s nothing I love more than a well-planned timeline.

I’m a firm believer that the best events feel effortless because every detail has been thought through behind the scenes. From the first vendor arrival to the final song of the night, I love creating a plan that keeps everyone on the same page, gives each moment room to breathe, and lets you simply enjoy the celebration.

My clients are the best part of My Job

When I first started in the industry, everyone warned me how easy it was to burn out. But years later, I still genuinely love what I do—and that’s because of my clients. Every couple, every family, and every personality is completely different, and that’s what makes it so fun. I love getting to know my clients, learning what matters most to them, and creating a celebration that feels entirely their own. By the end of it all, they’re so much more than a name on my calendar.
