After the first consultation Kate will provide a list of what would be involved with full planning of your individual wedding. The client then selects the responsibilities which they feel capable completing and Kate will create a planning package incorporating the remaining tasks from the to-do list. We work with the clients to make them feel totally secure and well taken care of through their planning process.
Take a look at some of our full planning projects
Tented Garden Wedding, NJ
Private home, Spring Lake NJ After the happy discovery that a generous neighbor would lend her adjacent vacant property for this tented affair the client hired Katydid to plan the entire event for 280 guests. Cocktail hour was under a charming clear tent in the client’s yard, with high tops poolside. Hedge trees were temporarily removed and white arbors built to create two entrances to the vacant lot which would soon be covered by a floor and peaked (66x126) tent. Katydid made the introduction to the top restaurateur in NJ and because of their strong relationship he was willing to cater this event, closing his restaurant for the night and bringing 65 employees. Specific planning responsibilities included appropriate tent (2) clear and peaked coordination, rental of unique furniture and details for the tent such as 2 12’ curved bars and shelved backbars, farm tables, specialty chargers, plates and mismatched light blue water goblets, 10 ft high topiaries, design of overhead installation, stage, pool orbs, satellite bars, creation of a cook site for caterer, provision of 2 day of assistants, connection to graphic artist, design of overhead functional and decorative lighting and 5’ high hanging topiaries, introduction to NY photographer.
