Wedding Planner

Since 2019, we have been planning & managing unforgettable, inclusive, and eco-conscious weddings that feel true to each couple’s story and values. Led by Katie Sautter, our team blends warmth, humor, and meticulous organization to make planning feel calm, clear, and genuinely fun. We handle every detail with intention and care, so you can feel fully present and joyful on your wedding day — and celebrate in a way that’s unmistakably you.

We believe your wedding should feel unmistakably you: intentional, personal, and true to your story. We’re proudly LGBTQIA+ friendly, sustainability-minded, and built on collaboration, not just coordination. Unlike solopreneurs juggling every hat, our dedicated team focuses solely on you, offering clarity, warmth, and unwavering support. With exclusive vendor perks, a genuine respect for every love story, and a promise to guide you with joy, we create weddings that celebrate your individuality and make you feel like our one and only wedding.

In three words: Calm, Fun, Innovative

I can't recommend K.S.Otter Events highly enough. We began working with Katie about 14 months before our wedding, and she was immensely helpful at every stage of the process. We had an initial meeting with her where we outlined the must-haves for our special day, and she was instrumental in helping us find and book all of our vendors. As we got closer to the wedding, Katie provided us with helpful checklists of things to get done that month, which prevented us from feeling overwhelmed or behind on planning. With a month and change left, Katie sent out a day-of timeline that became a life-saving reference for directing friends and relatives on the day. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say we simply could not have had the amazing wedding we did without her help!!!

Katie Went Above and Beyond – The Wedding Planner of Our Dreams! Hiring Katie as our wedding planner was hands-down the best decision we made. From the very beginning, she was organized, responsive, and truly invested in making our day as perfect as possible. She didn’t just plan a wedding—she brought our vision to life and made the entire process feel smooth, joyful, and completely stress-free. Katie went above and beyond in every possible way. She handled every detail with such care and precision—from vendor coordination to timeline management—making sure everything ran flawlessly. Even when unexpected challenges came up (as they always do!), she tackled them with calm confidence and made sure we never had to worry. What really stood out was how much she genuinely cared. She wasn’t just doing a job—she was truly there for us. Her kindness, patience, and passion for what she does made all the difference, and we felt so supported every step of the way. If you’re looking for a wedding planner who is not only insanely good at what she does but also kind, thoughtful, and 100% committed to making your day magical, Katie is the one. We are forever grateful for her and everything she did to make our day unforgettable.

Ah! Thank you SO MUCH Victoria!! ^_^ This really makes my day. It's couples like you that make this job the joy that it is. Planning your wedding at The Greenhouse at Arrows Farm was so fun and so so lovely. You looked stunning, and your group was such a pleasure to be around on the day-of. Cheers! -Katie

We used Katie for our day of wedding coordination and for our seating chart. Katie was great to work with in the card design process, and took and feedback and ideas I had and came up with a design we loved! She asked what things were important to us and curated a wedding day timeline that made sure the day included all of the elements that were most important to us. She was also great at communicating with our vendors and making sure everyone was on the same page.

Starting January 12th, 2025, we will not charge travel fees, with the exception of flights. Instead, any travel expenses related distant weddings will be calculated and baked into the cost. Until then: Yes, if the distance is >1.5 hour drive from K.S.Otter Events' location (ZIP: 27265), or if we're required to stay beyond 11:30 pm for drives >45 min from K.S.Otter Events' location. Outside of these bounds, we require flight/hotel coverage (for the planner and assistant(s)), plus a $200 travel fee to cover other travel expenses. Some of this is waived for the Wilmington, NC area (inquire for more info).

We'd sit down and go through your priorities and budget for the event. We'd come up with a suitable budget based on your priorities, and we'd then come up with some action items to accomplish over the next month. Nothing too hard for you, of course! We try to only give our couples the FUN tasks (like picking out a suit or dress!)!

Absolutely! Allyship is one of our core values: so much so that we never work with any vendor who isn't LGBT-friendly. We screen every vendor for this before putting them on our trusted vendors list. We've also received training from The Gay Agenda Collective and strive to make all our couples feel comfortable, regardless of which part of the rainbow they are a part of! We are also part of the Safe Space Alliance, which provides safe spaces to LGBTQIA+ people. Our space is "digital" until your wedding day!

Maybe! It depends on your location and situation. We love meeting in-person with our planning couples for the first planning consultation as well as the final venue walkthrough. We are also happy to meet with you virtually. Our full-service planning clients are allotted more time (especially for venue tours and tastings), so we can meet more often for that package. All conversations prior to booking with us are virtual / over the phone.

Although we have a list of trusted vendors, as well as a list of absolutely amazing preferred vendors (who we have exclusive deals with!), we are always hoping to get to know new and awesome vendors who are perfect for your wedding! We help you find them, no issues or concerns whatsoever.

We are licensed through the NC Dept of Revenue (you can find our business name registered with the NC Secretary of State as K.S.Otter Events), & we are insured through NEXT insurance.

Yes! We have certifications through The Union Network (by Jamie Wolfer), The Gay Agenda Collective, and Timeline Genius. Our business is a proud member of the Association of Bridal Consultants, as well as the Certified Wedding Professionals (CWP) Society. These are the largest certification programs in the United States.

We can plan three weddings on the same day, since we currently have a team of 3 lead planners, but this depends on team availability, and we may plan a Friday wedding and a Saturday wedding on the same weekend. Our team is growing, so we can take on more weddings per year than a solopreneur, typically 15-20 weddings per planner per year. That said, we book out fast. It's first come first served, so we recommend inquiring as soon as possible.

Absolutely. In case of emergency, we always have a backup coordinator. This coordinator is always trained and is someone we trust- it's never someone's aunt Susie! Your wedding is in good hands with us.

Not at all! While sustainability is our passion, we welcome all couples and are here to support your vision, whether you’re aiming for an eco-friendly wedding or something else entirely. We’re happy to offer tips for going green, but we’ll tailor everything to suit your unique style. We admit, we don’t usually attract the couples who want to burn a tire as a ceremony ritual (Not kidding- someone said this to us. How silly! If they jest, we jest.)
