I’m thrilled you found me—welcome! I’m Kate, the lead planner and owner here at The Coordination Company.

As a born empath, I always knew I wanted to serve people. I had a grandmother who was a nurse—and gravitating toward that line of work aligned with my servant’s heart—but it didn’t take long to realize I was far too queasy to cut it in the medical field. So, I took stock of my strengths (detail-oriented, insanely organized, relationship-driven) and my interests (obsessed with any and all wedding-related movies and shows, planned my 8th birthday to pure perfection) and realized my true calling to serve lied in helping couples celebrate their union (needles not required).

My high-school day dreams of becoming the real-life version of Jennifer Lopez in The Wedding Planner (sans falling in love with the groom) led me to earn a Bachelor’s degree in the closest thing I could find to a wedding planning degree (hospitality management and entrepreneurship). I took on three planning internships throughout college and eventually began working for an amazing planner in my home state of Ohio.

Through it all, though, this Ohio girl couldn’t shake the feeling that the South—with all of its storied character and stunning event settings—was calling my name. My boyfriend soon had an opportunity to open a business in...drumroll please...my dream locale of Charleston. It was the purest form of fate I’ve ever felt, and I ran right through that open door and toward the slow, steady charm of life in the lowcountry.

Today, there’s nothing I love more than merging my logistical acumen with my innovative eye for design to make your dream wedding a reality you and yours will relish in and relive for a lifetime to come.
