"Without Kate, our wedding would not have been as perfect as it was!"
"Working with Kate as our day of coordinator for our wedding was an absolutely incredible experience! Our wedding day was perfect for us, Kate managed all the little details so that we could just enjoy our special day and our guests! She thought of so many things in our working sessions ahead of the day to help me be prepared for the day of the wedding, which if she hadn’t would have caused me a lot of stress. I cannot recommend enough working with Kate, her attention to detail, professionalism, and taste lead to a magical day. Without Kate, our wedding would not have been as perfect as it was!"

She found and facilitated the tent and table rental, partnered with the bartending service to create custom cocktails and signage, designed our invitations, and was a vital part of making the setup and day-of be stress-free! She was incredible to both refine and make my vision come to life, all within my budget. I can't wait for her help on our next big event!"

"You could tell a lot of care and creativity went into every element."
"I can't recommend Kate with Velvet & Vine Events enough! She planned an unforgettable surprise 30th birthday party for my husband, and everything was absolutely perfect. The theme was "Cheers and Beers to 30 Years," which she brought to life with incredible attention to detail.
From the centerpieces to the decorations, desserts, and party favors— everything was beautifully coordinated and on theme. The decor was stylish and fun, the desserts were both delicious and picture-perfect, and the favors were such a thoughtful touch. You could tell a lot of care and creativity went into every element.
If you're looking for someone to bring your vision to life (or help create one for you!), Kate is the event planner to call.

"Outstanding: that is how I describe my dealings with Kate. She planned and presented a beautiful tea party brunch for my daughter's bridal shower. Everything was done with perfection. Kate coordinated everything with the caterer, servers, bakery, decorators, etc., which allowed me to enjoy my daughter's special day. I highly recommend Kate for all your events — you can't ask for a better event planner."

"Perfect surprise luau 50th birthday party!"
"I am beyond thrilled with how my surprise luau-themed 50th birthday party turned out! My family hired Kate, and she truly outdid herself in creating an unforgettable celebration. The Hawaiian-themed decor was spot-on and really set the mood for a tropical paradise. One of the highlights was the custom tiki bar she had built from scratch. It added such a fun, authentic touch to the event! The backyard was lined with lit tiki torches, creating the perfect atmosphere. The bartender also mixed all my favorite cocktails, making the drinks just as memorable as the setting. For food, Kate arranged for my favorite food truck to be on-site, and it was a huge hit with the guests. She also surprised me with a stunning custom cheese board that filled my kitchen island. It was a total crowd-pleaser. To top it all off, a private hula dancer welcomed the guests and performed a beautiful dance for everyone. It added such a personal and special touch to the evening, and the dancer was amazing! Overall, Kate's attention to detail, creativity, and dedication made my 50th birthday truly unforgettable. I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect celebration and would highly recommend her for any event!"

"Kate is a true wedding expert."
"When I was at an impasse and feeling super overwhelmed with my wedding planning process, I had a consultation with Kate. It was worth every penny! She expertly took me through the elements of my wedding, gave me thoughtful suggestions, and helped me to consider all the details that I hadn’t thought of. Kate is a true wedding expert. If you’re planning your own wedding, I highly suggest a consultation with Kate to make sure you’re on the right path. If I were having my wedding locally, I’d hire Kate as my coordinator in a heartbeat!"

"Her decor was incredible and her details and final touches were so special and thoughtful."
"I highly recommend Velvet & Vine Events. Kate planned my Newport RI bachelorette party in July 2023 and did an incredible job executing my vision. She took care of everything, including all of the planning, reservations, food, decor, etc. Her decor was incredible and her details and final touches were so special and thoughtful. All of my guests raved about Kate’s planning and organization and how smooth and seamless the weekend ran. When the rental house gave us an unexpected problem, she stepped in and resolved it quickly with the landlord. She was always reachable when I needed her; you can tell how passionate she is about event planning. If you’re looking for someone to execute your event and take the stress out of planning, look no further."

"Kate's creativity and dedication to perfection shone through every detail."
"Attending a party planned by Velvet & Vine Events is like stepping into the pages of your favorite Pinterest board brought to life. Kate’s unmatched attention to detail and her ability to create a cohesive and stunning atmosphere truly set her apart from the rest. Every aspect of her work is thoughtfully curated, making each guest feel special and immersed in the theme. At a recent “Favorite Things” holiday party, Kate’s creativity and dedication to perfection shone through in every detail.
Upon arrival, each guest was greeted with a beautiful glass adorned with a delicate bow and personalized with their name, an elegant touch that made everyone feel immediately welcomed. The attention to aesthetics continued with ice cubes featuring flowers frozen inside, elevating even the simplest beverages into works of art. Kate also ensured that everyone felt included by offering an array of both cocktails and creative mocktails, ensuring guests who weren’t drinking felt just as comfortable and celebrated. The snacks and treats were carefully chosen to align with the party’s theme of bows and Christmas elegance, blending delicious flavors with impeccable presentation. Each gift was wrapped so beautifully it felt like a shame to open them, adding to the festive, joyful atmosphere. Velvet & Vine Events doesn’t just plan parties; they create unforgettable experiences filled with warmth, charm, and elegance. If you want your next event to be nothing short of magical, Kate is the one to make it happen."

"I cannot say enough good things about the amazing service she gave us. "
Kate is absolutely incredible! From the initial phone call we felt that she instantly captured our vision for our special day. Throughout the process she was very communicative with my husband and I as well as being on top of our vendors for us. When it came to the day of our wedding from the moment Kate arrived she was busy making sure everything was perfect and fitting to our vision as well as constantly checking in if we needed anything. I cannot say enough good things about the amazing service she gave us. I highly recommend Kate to any future bride!​
