Reviews of Kate Edmonds Events (Event Planner)

Mark Gibbons

Having known Kate for quite a few years, I have had the distinct pleasure of attending many of her expertly designed and orchestrated events. One event that I recall most fondly was the “Night in New Orleans” fundraiser held in New York City which raised over $210k for post-hurricane relief. From start to finish, the themed evening was a truly memorable experience and Kate and her team’s expertise and exquisite taste clearly played a major role in making it so delightful. As with all of Kate Edmond’s events, everything came together flawlessly and the entire evening was filled with dancing, delicious food and drinks, a silent auction, and a fabulous crowd that was clearly enjoying it as much as I was. That it was all for such a great cause during a time of need for many made it even that much more special. Whether you’re considering Kate Edmonds Events for your own event, company, or charity you’re involved with, I can tell you that you will not find an event planner that has more expertise, creativity, more attention to detail and the dedication to make you happy than Kate Edmonds Events. I highly recommend this event planning company.

A letter from my husband. As a groom, you never realize or understand which part of the wedding preparations and planning you are supposed to be involved with. Sure, your fiancé says she wants you there through it all but you can hardly ever agree on what's right, what music to play or food to serve, band or DJ, champagne, cake, ugh! Guys am I right? So as Floridians, when we decided to take a leap of faith and get married in New York where we have spent so many amazing times, we knew we wanted to invite several of our out of town family and guests and it only made sense to make it the fairy tale wedding that my wife and admittedly, I wanted to have. Our deepest concern was, how do we start? When we caught wind of an "amazing planner" based in NY from a very dear friend who had been witness to several spectacular events put on by a "celebrated star" of a planner we could not resist the chance to meet her and to discuss our vision. From the minute I got the opportunity to meet with Kate, I knew that if there was a fairy tale to be told of my love for my soon to be wife, that Kate could author the story! From "hello" to "until again",Kate bedazzled us with her charming ideas and guidance but to save time with the amazing details, I will take you to the happy fairy tale ending. The Kate Edmonds Events team pulled off one of the most remarkable and most exquisite weddings New Yorkers have ever been privileged to witness and we stopped the traffic in the streets of New York to reveal the most spectacular wedding of two insanely in love people who, just wanted to "keep it simple"... Kate Edmonds Events team and Kate, thank you so much for your vision, your direction, your focus, sleepless nights, your supervision and most importantly your love and friendship to deliver the most spectacular day in my life! With Love, Brian Artze The Groom

Kate Edmonds is simply the best of the best! She is creative, resourceful and fantastically detail oriented in her tireless pursuit of the PERFECT event. She, and her staff, made my husband's birthday bash a party that we and all of our guests will never forget!!!

Kate Edmonds and her team did a phenomenal job on my September 7th wedding. She is the definition of talent, amazing visions, high quality staff and makes the process fun. I would have never been able to see the vision that Kate and her team had. Hiring them was the best decision I made. My wedding was absolutely breathtaking. I cannot thank them enough! I highly recommend Kate Edmonds Events!

My husband and I got married last month and were (very thankfully) able to lean on Kate Edmonds Events during the last stretch of wedding planning to help get us to the finish line. Kate is clearly an industry veteran, and her experience, discerning eye and excellent coordination and foresight will be invaluable in planning and making decisions. Her team is also superb and equally professional - we were so happy with Jessica's attentiveness, organization and quick thinking. Jessica led our day-of support, and we don't know what we would've done without her. Our wedding took place on two floors - not to mention the multiple getting-ready and photoshoot locations pre-ceremony - but Jessica and the team had all bases and details perfectly covered. They were so present throughout the wedding, in a way that gave me peace of mind to just enjoy the night! Several of our guests even commented on our day-of support team and how on top of everything they were. A big thank you to the Kate Edmonds team for helping a frazzled couple out when we were in over our heads :)

I have officiated at hundreds of weddings over the past 20 years. Kate Edmonds and her team are by far the very best at creating the most exquisite, graceful, and elegant events. It is such a joy to work with true professionals who are devoted to bringing together all the logistics in a perfect, seamless symphony. The result of Kate's experience, talent, and style go far beyond the extraordinary success of each event she designs. Her true gift is making dreams come true, dreams that become a lifetime of beautiful memories.

Kate is a fantastic wedding planner! Our wedding was without a hiccup! She had great ideas and awesome vendor suggestions for our taste :) will recommend her to anyone ! She also provides the cutest treats during client meetings!

I was fortunate to attend the National Review Institute and Morris Animal Foundation events, both of which were Kate Edmonds Events productions. While these types of functions are not a rarity on the New York charity circuit, there was a certain charm and sophistication that KEE brought to both events that is often absent at similar soirees. Kate Edmonds provided a personal touch and warmth that transformed what could have been "stuffy" affairs into memorable occasions. Lighting, design, menu and atmosphere in each of these disparate venues enhanced the fundraising efforts of the organizations hosting these evenings. Such exquisite attention to detail is usually reserved for social gatherings, but in Kate Edmonds' practiced and expert hands, I count these two events among the finest of all that I have attended.

Kate pays incredible attention to details and really gets to know her clients to make a vision come true that is unique to them as individuals. I had the pleasure of attending on of her bridal showers and its safe to say that EVERY guest that attended was FLOORED. I am so excited to attend another event that she curates in the future.

I just cant say enough good things about Kate and Jess at Kate Edmonds Events! We interviewed a few planners before selecting KEE. We're both very busy young professionals, and it was important for us to select someone with the right EXPERIENCE and CONFIDENCE to get the job done not only effortlessly, but also with style and class. We didn't have time to deal with all the issues so we asked Kate to creatively manage both the macro and micro details of all aspects of the wedding and we were so glad we did! After a few interviews via skype and one in person I really feel like Kate took her time to get to know us, our lifestyle, and our preferences.... During a brainstorm session Kate had amazing ideas including one about having a 'movable feast' instead of a traditional sit down wedding dinner. We went with this idea and EVERYONE IS STILL TALKING ABOUT HOW COOL THAT WAS!! All of the vendors she suggested were perfect and phenomenal! From Marcey Brownsein Catering, DJ James, and Bettina, oh lovely Bettina! (our officiant), what a steal! Kate was such a pleasure to work with exhibiting the highest level professionalism at all times, whilst all the while being relaxed and fun! We got a bit frazzled near the end and she really helped coach and inspire us through this rough patch. You could tell she had the experience of many many many events, and this was so, so key for us because we have none! I really felt as though Kate and Jess were really personally invested in our success, almost as if we were family. All in all I would enthusiastically recommend Kate for pretty much any event, especially if you're busy and simply just want it done right!!

Fantastic team. Highly recommended for weddings and other events.

I had the pleasure to work with Kate and her team on a Manhattan wedding last month. As a wedding band leader (La Vie En Rose Band) we work with lots of event planners, and I can testify that Kate and her team are among the most organized and detail oriented I have got to work with. Kate was double checking everything before and on the day of the wedding like it was her own! I am sure this took a lot of pressure off the bride and groom's shoulder! I look forward to working with them in the future and strongly recommend them for their work ethic and perfectionism!

Late last summer, I made my way out to Montauk in East Hampton for a very close friend's wedding. It was my first time visiting Montauk, and I won't soon forget it. The welcome party to kick off the weekend took place at Navy Beach, a lovely seafood restaurant on the ocean. The evening was charming, but nothing compared to the ceremony and reception put on by Kate Edmonds Events at Sole East Resort. Kate and her team turned the grounds into what felt like a fairytale, with beautiful flowers and enchanting lights everywhere you looked. I vividly remember never wanting the evening to end. We danced and laughed our hearts out, and the experience was truly one of a kind. I was thrilled for my friends Elie and Danielle Camoro. They're wedding day was everything they'd hoped for, and I know that Kate and her team played an immense role in making that so. I will absolutely recommend Kate Edmonds Events to friends that are looking to plan an unforgettable event. The dedication is top notch. Thank you! - Neal Gibeau

Hi Kate, Thank you and Lois so much for all of your help in orchestrating Wanshu and Jie's wedding this morning at the Otto Kahn Mansion. It was a pleasure to work with both of you, you were both so delightfully easy to get along with, and I hope that my wedding schedule leads me your way again. Have a great week, Chris Shelley

I have had the privilege of working with Kate Edmonds for over 20 years on countless events. Her ability to transform any space or event into something Magical is truly breathtaking (and quite frankly unmatched in today's industry). Everything she does is executed in exquisite detail. You will not find another event planner on the scene quite like her. Simply put, Kate is a "One of a Kind Artist" and will turn whatever dream or vision you give her into a perfect reality.

Was like having Mary Poppins as your wedding planner! Kate, her team and her fantastic vendors made this experience a dream. She was a tremendous advocate for the bride and groom, kept on budget when she had to, pushed the envelope when she could and the outcome was a gorgeous weekend that was beautiful, calm and joyous. I offer my highest praise for Kate Edmonds Events. Enjoyed working with Kate and Jess and would happily work with her again. x oo

When I met Kate, I had a idea about the kind of wedding I wanted. I met with Kate and together we filled in the details. I had a wonderful day and Kate fulfilled my dreams. From a traditional church wedding, to an intimate but glorious dinner for family and international guests, and afterwards, a black tie party at a loft in SOHO. A NYC wedding that was sophisticated, beautiful and lots of fun! Several years later, I had Kate do my daughters christening. It was a small event with a party/dinner afterwards in our home in Brooklyn. Kate made it special in so many ways. The house was filled with beautiful flowers and the atmosphere was festive. It was a true celebration!

Kate planned a lovely dinner party for my family at a home in Southampton. She listened attentively to my preferences on menu and decor and carried them out perfectly, including a special cocktail, a vegetarian entree and all white flowers. The food was delicious and the service was spot on. Kate and her team were well-organized and took care of every little detail. Everyone was impressed and had an absolutely wonderful evening.
