It was a pleasure to work with Kate! She was the main contact for a Bride/Grooms wedding block being held at my hotel property. She understood all of the Hotel's Guidelines from the Cut Off Date to the courtesy block we could offer. She was on top of the Room count and also the Rooming List! She was a joy to work with and I would recommend her for anyone looking for a Wedding Coordinator especially for their wedding hotel block! Thanks so much Kate!!!!!

Kate gives 100%! Best option! She knows exactly what to do! She’s flexible and will work with your budget! Every bride should have a Kate!

She made planning my wedding so much more enjoyable and less stressful. She was a pure joy to work with. I literally couldn’t have done it without her! Thank you, Kate for being so instrumental in planning the wedding of our dreams!

Kate was amazing to work with. She was so helpful throughout the entire process. We had some big changes that we needed to make during our planning process and Kate was extremely professional and supportive helping us through it. Throughout the entire experience I was thankful to have someone to call and talk things through with.

I highly recommend Kate for your wedding or party planning needs. She’s very professional and thorough.

Kate was so organized from the moment we met her that we knew we needed to hire her as our day of coordinator before our initial meeting was over. In the months and weeks leading up, we combined our spreadsheet super powers and had our wedding day mapped out to a science. We always felt reassured after talking to her. She was quick to reply and was so helpful throughout our planning. On our wedding day, Kate ran the show perfectly from 8:30 am to 11:30 pm. She worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make sure everything went as planned! Thank you Kate!

I wasn't sure that I needed a day of wedding coordinator, but in hindsight I'm so glad that I was able to work with Kate and have her be a part of our day. In the month leading up to our wedding, Kate worked closely with us and always made herself available by phone or e-mail to answer our many questions. She came up with great ideas and did research on things we were interested in learning more about, such as favors and programs. She checked in with all of our vendors and made sure everyone knew the day-of schedule. She provided us with useful spreadsheets to organize all of the details of the day. On the day of, multiple friends and relatives commented on how smoothly everything ran. I felt relaxed and could enjoy the day because I knew Kate was running the show! We can't thank her enough!

If you are looking for a wedding planner or day of coordinator hire Kate, she is amazing! We hired Kate to be our day of coordinator and to find us transportation vendors for our wedding. Kate found us great vendors for the limo and shuttle bus. She put together a detailed timeline for the wedding day, coordinated directly with the venue and all the vendors we hired, which put us at ease, especially since there was a short turnaround at the venue from when the wedding before ours ended and ours began. Kate is good at what she does because she cares, she listens, she is organized, and she gives good advice and suggestions. She was always available via the phone or email whenever we needed her. She went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly for our wedding, she even ran out to pick something up from the store that my now husband needed for the reception. Any issues that came up she handled them. She allowed us to enjoy our day and truly helped us have a great we... Read moredding!

As a Caterer I work with many vendors and sometimes you find someone who just has the same passion as you do! Kate is certainly is one of those Wedding & Event Coordinators that simply goes out of her way to make sure all the details are covered. We worked with a couple who lived in Hawaii and at times to get all the information took a few call but we certainly worked together ads a team and made it happen. If your looking for someone to make you an memory to last a lifetime - Kate certainly can do so! Lisa Tevis, Catering Sales Director Jacques Exclusive Caterers

After thoroughly researching and making several calls, I made the decision to hire Kate as my day of coordinator. In simple terms, she was a God sent at our wedding. Let me start from the beginning.... My wedding was on August 31st at The Manor, West Orange NJ. I sent Kate all the correspondences I had with different vendors via email. She was ALWAYS available for any of my questions via phone, Facetime or email. She made me feel sane when I felt like I was spiraling down a rabbit hole that is wedding planning. She guided me through getting my way with the vendors. She made sure I was not being bullied by them. She created VERY VERY organized documents detailing the wedding timeline, vendor lists, things to do etc. For a Type A personality like mine that was something that eased my anxiety SO MUCH!!! A month or so before the wedding, she took charge of the entire process. She called all the vendors and coordinated all the details herself. I literally did not have to lift a finger.... Read more For example: I had two different caterers at my wedding (American food and Indian Fusion food) and she took charge of making sure that the two caterers had a clear line of communication between each other. Now for the wedding day ..... I was the least stressed out Bride ever to walk down the aisle. I am not exaggerating at all. Kate arrived early morning and she started by pouring champagne for me and the bridesmaids. She was so gracious enough to not let any of the bridesmaids lift a finger. She travelled between the hotel and the venue itself to transfer all my things. She coordinated with the groom and the groomsmen to make sure they were running on time. No one EVER bothered me with ANY trouble shooting questions AT ALL. I was just in my own little world enjoying my day and no one asked me any unnecessary questions! How awesome is that??? This was all thanks to Kate. After the ceremony, the reception flowed flawlessly. Kate ensured that we took pictures with everyone we listed. She even ensured that there was time for me and my husband to grab food during the cocktail hour which was very important to us. During the reception, all different aspects just flowed together seamlessly. People still talk about our wedding and say it was the wedding of the century. I honestly believe that the night unfolded the way it did thanks to Kate. Several people asked about her and complimented her work. A few of my friends are definitely going to hire her for their own wedding. Simple things like making sure I was hydrated, had dinner, got to dance, got to hug my brother after his speech about me ...they meant a lot to me. Above all...she was nice enough to pack all my things from the bridal suite at the venue to transport them safely and neatly back to my hotel room. I never had to worry about anything. She's so nice, professional and her positive energy is something I feel very blessed to have had the pleasure of working with. She did not make me feel like i was just some client for financial gain at all. She truly loves what she does and takes pride in her work. It's rare to find people who put their 110% into their tasks but Kate truly embodies this. Trust me..do yourself a favor and hire her. This will definitely be the smartest decision you make during your wedding planning.

Kate was awesome to work with! She was very thorough, detailed and always responded quickly with any questions I had. She made my job easier with her promptness!

Kate was very organised and made sure the event was running as per the timeline. Definitely recommend Simply Sapphire Events.

Kate Anderson is a hard-working professional who was on top of every last detail of our clients wedding - she knocked it right out of the park and it was a pleasure working with her to make sure the bride and groom had a wedding to remember - I'd definitely recommend Simply Sapphire Events!
