• Katy of Wand & Bash events was one of our best and most essential vendors. This was her first large scale South Asian wedding event and she really delivered. I myself am a meticulous planner, so I hired Katy as a day of coordinator to ensure other vendors had a point of contact and that things moved smoothly without me or my family feeling responsible for the schedule. She stayed in touch months ahead of the date and put up with all my nitpicky questions. On the day of, our schedule almost immediately got mucked up by delayed vendors. Katy took charge and somehow smoothed it out, and kept the schedule shifts from being my problem or from affecting my enjoyment of the day. When I started worrying about whether I was taking too long with photos and my Type A side started coming out,she reminded me it was her job to worry about that. She also did a lovely job arranging flowers from the decorator for the cake! I saved a lot by having a simple design that still looked classic. She set up our s’mores bar area while juggling the arrival of vendors, their various questions, and our family members. She spotted and fixed a lot of issues on the fly. We had a lot of moving parts that would have been a pain for me to oversee on the big day, and I wouldn’t want to put that responsibility on any of my guests. Katy handled them all admirably and was definitely the reason it was all a success. I cannot imagine how we would have hosted this event without her! On top of that, her pricing is exceptional and she comes armed with all kinds of planning tools to support you.

  • “My husband and I were looking for a wedding planner who was flexible, detailed, and fun. Katy exceeded our expectations! Katy kindly guided us through the entire planning process, and made the entire experience fun. Our wedding theme was "classic, elegant, with a bit of flare". I greatly appreciated how patient Katy was seeing as I changed the color scheme twice. Through Katy's phenomenal suggestions and creative expertise, she was able to incorporate disco balls into our wedding in such a tasteful way! During the vetting process of vendors, Katy advocated on mine and my husbands behalf and helped us find incredible vendors! On our wedding day we did not worry about anything, Katy professionally managed any chaos and allowed my husband and I to enjoy our day! I recommend Katy for anyone planning any event. I look forward to working with Katy in the near future for my next event!"

  • "Katy was an absolute life saver! I used her day of coordination services and it alleviated so much stress not only on the day of the wedding but in the months leading up as well. She created an extremely useful google drive for us to organize vendor contacts, decor lists, guest lists, to-do lists. etc. On the day of the wedding she was completely amazing handling all communication with vendors. We had a couple of unexpected snags with our venue and caterer and she came up with solutions quickly and was able to ease my nerves quickly about both. I TRULY could not have survived my wedding with out her. I would highly recommend her to anyone considering her services!!!!"

  • "We were looking for some help planning our wedding since we both have full-time jobs. I did the venue selection work and felt so overwhelmed by it we sought out help - but Katy just about did everything else! She researched ideas and works well with lists. She did our gorgeous silk florals for our wedding and people didn't believe they were fake. Katy's attention to details, ability to take no sh*t, and team player attitude really helped me feel more confident leading up to our day. Even though we had some hiccups due to other vendors, I was still able to have fun and enjoy the reception while Katy handled all the chaos. At the end of the day, there was no way I wouldn't hire her again. We're keeping her number for when we throw our next party! (She does more than just weddings!)"
