Testimonials
A&K, Rhodes House
"We genuinely couldn't have pulled off our wedding without the wonderful Katie. As two PhD candidates frantically finishing our theses with only two months until our wedding date, we were completely overwhelmed. Katie immediately understood our needs and stepped in with remarkable efficiency. Her expertise in Oxford venues, vendors, and logistics is truly unparalleled. We had the most marvellous day. Our wedding was perfect and that was really all down to her."
C&L, Bodleian Library
"You need a wedding planner, and it should definitely be Katie! Katie has vast knowledge and excellent relationships with suppliers in the Oxford area, allowing her to deliver a truly bespoke wedding that was just right for us. She was extremely organised and responsive, with a calming presence. Our wedding was perfect, and it couldn't have happened without Katie."
C&M, Marquee Oxfordshire
"We worked with Katie on her partial wedding planning service, and she was absolutely phenomenal (although to describe Katie's commitment as 'partial' seems like an understatement!). Living in New York but marrying in Oxfordshire, we needed someone who could bridge the distance and bring our vision to life, Katie went above and beyond. She really got to know us as a couple, introduced us to incredible local suppliers who perfectly matched our aesthetic, and her organisation, calmness and approachable manner made the whole process seamless.”
L&K, Newington House
"We were living abroad in the lead up to our wedding and hiring Katie was the best decision we made. After our first conversation with her, we felt a load removed from us, her experience really gave us reassurance. She was so calming and organised throughout the whole process and worked really well with all our suppliers, making sure everything worked smoothly behind the scenes throughout the whole wedding weekend. My wife and I switched off from hosting duties during the wedding day and that was all down to the great work of Katie and the faith we had in her."
R&M, Marquee Rousham House
"From our first meeting we knew Katie was the right planner for us. She listened to exactly what we wanted and made our dream marquee wedding come true. From sourcing and managing suppliers to setup and wedding day management, Katie was always there to help. She made sure the day ran smoothly and we didn't have to worry about a thing, even when a last minute rain downpour changed our reception plans! We could not have done it without you."
M&A, Bodleian Library
"Katie is an exceptional wedding planner who brought our dream three day wedding extravaganza to life. From our very first interaction, Katie's warmth and professionalism put us at ease. Her prompt responses to our countless questions demonstrated her dedication to making our day uniquely ours. Using her extensive knowledge of local vendors and 'what works' at a wedding, she enabled us to make informed decisions to manifest our vision. When it rained on our wedding day, what could've been stressful was transformed into magic, she discreetly activated a beautifully crafted 'Plan B' that felt like it had been the plan all along. She masterfully wove together seven distinct events over the weekend, shielding us from details so we could be fully present. We could not have had this wedding without Katie. She is kind, calm, thorough, and incredibly helpful a 'Creator of Happiness'!"
M&A, Marquee Cotswolds
"We wouldn't have had a wedding without Katie! A week before the wedding, disaster struck, our marquee company went into administration. Not only the marquee, but flooring, tables, chairs and lighting, the whole wedding was suddenly in jeopardy. Katie remained calm and truly kicked into gear, sourcing everything we originally wanted from individual suppliers in no time. Thanks to her incredible efforts, our dream wedding was saved and we had the best day of our lives. On the day itself, Katie orchestrated everything with such grace and precision, handling every detail behind the scenes so we could celebrate with our loved ones. She's a top professional who went above and beyond!"
N&M, Ettington Park
"We're an American couple who got married in the UK, so we knew we needed a planner! We had the most perfect wedding thanks to Katie. When we started, we were stressed about getting it all ready, but Katie made every step easy and enjoyable. She was on top of everything, kept us on track, worked with our families to fit in all of our traditions and customs and made our vision not only come to life but better than we had imagined. We had an idea to use books as escort cards, and Katie turned it into one of our favourite parts of the wedding. She's kind and caring, she even made sure we had a few minutes to ourselves on the day. It wouldn't have been possible without Katie Lou Weddings."
S&J, Corpus Christi College, Oxford
"Katie did a truly outstanding job in delivering a wedding day that went absolutely perfectly to plan, despite our choice of a venue (an Oxford college) that does not regularly host weddings. Katie's vast knowledge and experience helped us identify suppliers consistent with exactly the style and aesthetic we had envisioned. She has excellent relationships with a wide variety of businesses and every single supplier she sourced delivered faultlessly. When unexpected challenges arose, Katie could respond within 24 hours, she contacted over ten videographers so we could select one whose style appealed to us. Her fees are completely transparent, with no hidden costs. Having her there meant we (and our wider family) could concentrate completely on enjoying our special day!"
S&T, Multi Day Oxfordshire
"We could never thank Katie enough for the amazing job she did at our two day wedding. She was calm, organised and able to manage challenges without putting pressure on us. Her knowledge and relationships with vendors in the Oxfordshire area is invaluable. We would recommend Katie to anyone getting married in the area, she's an amazing wedding planner who will advocate for you whilst keeping things simple and practical, not forcing Instagram trends onto you. She will let your wedding be yours and let you enjoy it to the max, stress free. You are a wonder-woman!"
