Sprinkled In Seattle

ve to worry about a single thing. She showed up early with her assistant to the venue and handled all the other vendors, made sure everyone was where they needed to be, etc. She also has the best recommendations for other vendors; we went with her florist, DJ, and car service and were so grateful we did. She was so on top of things as we reached the big day. She is SUPER nice and laid back. We met with a few other day of coordinators who were a little fussy and somewhat aggressive and Katie is the opposite of that. You want someone who doesn't *add* to your stress. Katie removes all stress so you can enjoy your wedding. At one point we had a potential confusing last minute toast addition and I simply texted Katie about it and gave her the persons number and she handled everything without me having to step in. Was a huge relief. Will be recommending her to anyone looking for any type of wedding support!

They made our big day so enjoyable because we knew it was in good hands. Our wedding was quite a busy one but nothing the Sprinkled in Seattle team couldn’t handle. Ari, our coordinator, took charge of our timeline and helped us determine all of the little items that needed to happen. She communicated our timeline to all of our vendors ahead of the big day and fielded any questions they had. Such a weight off my shoulders! Ari was available at every step of the way if we had random wedding questions. Ari was there from start to finish. She was there to coordinate our rehearsal ceremony and with 13 members in your wedding party and 4 parents - this was clutch. She was there the moment the venue opened to check us in and check in on the order vendors as they arrived. She helped with a little bit of set up decor (that was pre-determined in our contract), and helped coordinate teardown and organize what we needed to bring home. The most stressful moment leading up to our wedding was the room flip. Ari and team made sure this happened smoothly and on time. The day of, Ari was there if I had any last moment requests or concerns about the flow of the big day and made sure I never had to direct a vender. I never even talked to a venue about any issue, she fielded everything and I am so grateful for it. Our last minute request was for her teammate to run out to Dicks (5 mins from our venue) and pick up and pay for 300 cheeseburgers for late-night snacks! Dicks does not do delivery or pay ahead orders. We had so much trust that she could make this happen and happily took on this request. It was one of the highlights of our nights and saved us almost all of us from massive hangovers. Ari was so easy to work with and has a calm and confident presence. We are so happy we trusted her with our wedding. I have put on, and hosted, many events in my life and know what goes into running the show and The Sprinkled in Seattle team is seriously the best.

ngle thing I, or even my husband or mom had to worry about the entire day. Set up and clean up were seamless. On top of that she truly goes above and beyond her duties. I hired Katie as an 8 week out wedding planner, yet she was answering questions and helping me long before then if needed. Every time we met with Katie she was calm and friendly, the kind of person you want around you during a chaotic time. 10/10 would recommend to anyone.

. I highly recommend having a day of coordinator and definitely recommend using Sprinkled in Seattle for all and any wedding planning!

communication with us. She knew our venue inside and out and I can honestly that her great expertise and professionalism allowed us to enjoy our wedding day without worry. I highly recommend Katie and Sprinkled in Seattle if you are looking for a coordinator who truly cares about her clients’ special day and for someone you can trust for such a big day. Thank you, Katie!

e, made sure we understood answers to any questions we had and has a great network of fantastic vendor referrals. Her prices are reasonable and they pay for themselves through all the tips, discounts and streamlined planning her team does. As far as we know... nothing went wrong on our wedding day so Katie did her job and then some! I highly recommend Katie and her team for any planning needs.

deas! After my husband and I got engaged, my mom and I couldn’t wait to start planning. For some outlandish reason beyond our beings, we thought we could do it on our own and that it would be “fun” to plan a wedding together. We quickly learned that it was neither easy nor fun and that we needed HELP. Like a fairy godmother, Katie swept in to save our sanity. Katie’s calm and professional presence turned our wedding planning experience into one that was as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. She placed importance on every planning milestone, whether it was checking in on my hair trial or attending a vendor meeting. She also stepped in when vendors and venues needed additional guidance. For example, on January 2nd at 9:00pm, I received an email from our reception venue stating that we would not be able to get ready or even set up until 6:00pm on our wedding night because she double booked us with their annual women’s golf tournament. The event coordinator, who will remain nameless, tried to butter the situation by offering three free hors d’oeuvres and a champagne toast. Excuse my language but the sh*t hit the fan. In the midst of a storm, Katie managed to strategize and communicate with our reception venue to provide us with our venue space that was indeed ours. Katie quite literally saved the day. Fast forward to day of. Katie made the day flawless. If there was a fire to put out, we were not aware of it because she took care of it. Everything was perfect. My advice to future brides: Get a wedding planner. Get Katie Slayton. My husband, my mom, my family and I couldn’t image not having Katie. She is so amazing that I actually miss receiving her emails. THANK YOU KATIE!

ick to answer our questions, meet up, help us figure out the next steps toward planning our dream wedding, keep us on track for making sure thing were booked, and most importantly, helping us select all of our vendors for the wedding. We went with all the suggestions Katie had for us, from photography, floral, to DJ services and everyone was great. She helped us review the contracts and set up meetings leading up to the wedding. It made the whole process easy. The day of event coordinating was a true Godsend on the day of the wedding! I had no idea how crazy and hectic a wedding could be until I was living it, and without Katie helping move everything forward, I swear I would have forgot to cut the cake! She was there super early to ensure the vendors were all set up and ready to go, she was always making sure that the next phase of the event was prepped and ready, and worked really hard to ensure that Kaitlin and I felt relaxed, special. She made the whole thing feel effortless. That in and of itself was everything. I knew that I could focus on the magic of the day and not have to worry about anything because it was going to go off without a hitch. Finally, Katie was just so sweet to meet with and fun to hang out with. We still keep in touch and chat and from day one, it felt like we were working with an old friend. I could not recommend Sprinkled in Seattle more. Hiring Katie was the best decision we could have made.

o plan another dang thing for it. I woke up the next day and thought to myself -- oh my god -- now I don't have an excuse to talk to Katie (I'll find some excuse eventually, trust me)! When I had booked my venue they informed me that I needed to have a coordinator or pay them more for the service in house, so I decided to meet a few planners. I'm not quite sure if Katie and I hit it off the exact second we met, but she GOT me immediately, which was more important than I realized. Although we had only hired her for "day of" coordination, she was still open for questions throughout the entire process: photographer recommendations? She gave me a list of photographers -- her top recommendation was a guy that made my shy quiet husband laugh til he cried -- a rare feat for a stranger. When I was juggling my masters program and ALL the other things on my plate, I asked her about timelines so I could finally commit to a schedule... Logistics are hard when event planning is not your thing! We had the ceremony in a park, reception on the other side of downtown from the ceremony, shrugging when she asks "how are you getting to the ceremony?", me constantly joking about how I didn't care about anything, donuts instead of cake, not hiring a DJ and making a playlist that our friends and family hijacked after 5 songs.... She never once judged the above but listened, asked questions, suggested, and problem solved away. Any "issue" was resolved immediately and god help me, the day was SO worth the torture of planning, thanks to her.

When we got together with Katie, we had the majority of our wedding planned, but in pieces. Katie helped to bring the puzzle pieces together into a cohesive timeline, and suggested (notice I say suggested... not the pushy type at all, but listens and executes on what you want!!) finishing touches to make it our perfect day. After that, we were able to turn our brains off from wedding planning to focus on ourselves, relaxing, and enjoying the company of our family as they rolled into town. Katie took the reigns, and made sure that all of our vendors were set to arrive on our special day. Day of, I didn't have to think about anything except getting ready and enjoying the company of my mother and bridesmaids, and getting married of course! Not only is she good at what she does, but her personality is the icing on the cake. When we weren't sure about something in our plans, she gave us her honest opinion.... her sense of humor and laid back personality was a breath of fresh air... She also went above and beyond by bringing some of her own wedding decor that she thought we might have been missing such as bride and groom cake serving plates. The perfect wedding planner. Beautiful personality. Goes Above and Beyond.

the way Katie was such a love to talk to, and helped me plan everything! She organized us...meaning not just me and my husband but our entire family! I can't express how insanely grateful I am to Katie. Without her experience and guidance my dream day would never have been the amazing day it was. Her lovely assistant was all over our house taking care everyone, especially me. My hair was falling out before I walk down the aisle and she stepped up and pinned into place. I LOVE this amazing woman Katie! She even went above and beyond AFTER our wedding and addressed things with a vendor that I was not happy with. Who does that!?! KATIE!! Like I said at the beginning of my review, you are blessed if you get the opportunity to work with this woman. Always top notch professional CLASS A my husband says :) You can't hope for anyone better to help you plan your day. TRULY

led in Seattle, and wow everyone was exactly right! Knowing what we know now, we would never even think about skipping out on a day-of coordinator! For our wedding, we worked with Ari, and she was awesome throughout the whole process. It was very low-stress, and Ari made the process feel very comfortable. She didn’t require a ton of time or work from my wife and I, and she was able to use her own skills to make the day come together perfectly. Not only did we talk with Ari a couple times before the wedding, but she stayed in contact through email the whole time and really got involved with our timelines and communicating to all of our vendors. She also came for the rehearsal the day before and walked everyone through the ceremony outline and day-of schedule. Which was awesome because we had no idea, and our officiant was one of our friends who had never done it before! Also, we didn’t have a florist. We made our own centerpieces, but they needed to be assembled on the day of the wedding. Ari took care of everything though! We sent her a picture of what the finished centerpiece should look like, and her and her assistant just ran with it. My wife and I were in awe at dinner at how great everything looked and how well Ari had pulled everything together. She was awesome to work with and we are so grateful we found her and Sprinkled in Seattle! Thanks so much Ari!

ed in Seattle was PERFECT! From the minute I met Ari she was fantastic. She was asking all the right questions and gave me all the tools I needed to plan the wedding in a timely manner. Ari was always available for phone calls and texts to clarify any questions I may have had. It was great having her compile all the necessary details to make the wedding day timeline and touching base with my vendors the week leading up to the wedding. She guided the dress rehearsal and rallied the wedding party when it was needed. On the day of the wedding – she was a true Rockstar! I left to get ready for the big day and she made my vision come to life. The decorations were beautiful, all the vendors were set up, and everything stayed right on track the entire evening (even a little ahead of schedule!). I had the most wonderful time at my wedding and wouldn’t change a thing about it! To all the future brides-to-be if you need a wedding coordinator, look no further than Sprinkled in Seattle. Truly the best! – Thank you again!

process progressed, we were so happy to have Ari. From the handful of meetings where we unloaded a barrage of questions to the walk-throughs we did at our venue, she was continually calm and helpful. Thank you Ari and thank you Sprinkled in Seattle! We couldn't have asked for a better coordinator!

ay she was amazing. Everything was set up exactly as I envisioned, but I didn't have to lift a finger! She made sure all the vendors were on time. If they were any snags along the way, I wouldn't know because it was all handled professionally! Thanks for all your help Ari!

r discounts. She is professional, organized, and will make your dream day a reality. I had a minor issue when the flowers I ordered came in completely wrong 2 hours before the ceremony. She went in solution mode, ran to Safeway, bought all the white flowers and fixed all the bridal bouquets and centerpieces. She couldn’t have been better and I felt lucky to have her plan my wedding. Seriously, do yourself a favor and hire Katie. You won’t regret it.

. Some wedding coordinators/planners have this weird creepy persona where you feel like they are the embodiment of the way too weirdly detailed wedding magazine. Not Katie. She is incredibly authentic and down to earth. Within the first 5 minutes of talking to her it freaked me out because it felt like I was talking to someone I had known for years. She came very well recommended by our photographer who said I would gel really well with her, but I had no idea how right she was. We quickly bonded over a shared love of cake and she made the planning process so much easier than it would have been otherwise. We order the day of "funfetti" (I told you she loves cake!) package since we had most of what we wanted to do for the wedding already decided. She was amazing about checking in to make sure we were on track, and as we got closer to the wedding did what she could to keep us sane as the day loomed. What is most incredible about all of this is how she kept it together when we threw some epic curveballs at her, including a 24 person wedding party and a New Orleans style second line band. SORRY KATIE! She took it all in stride and I think we still owe her a bottle of champagne for the herculean efforts she went through to help us pull off our day. I'm thankful to now call her a friend after the crazy party that brought us together. Katie is an absolute blast and if you are looking for a fun, unstuffy wedding she is the gal to help you pull it off.

My husband and I chose Katie for several reasons. She has a friendly personality and is very likeable. She recently got married herself, so we felt that she could relate to what we were going through. Also, Katie has a lot of experience planning weddings, but she is still passionate about what she does! We loved the fact that she always tries to make each wedding special and personalized to the couple, even though she coordinates many weddings every year. Lastly, a coordinator from one of the wedding venues we were considering highly recommended her to us. Based on our budget, we hired Katie to do partial wedding planning, but she also offers full service planning or day of coordination only. I consider myself a highly organized person, so I probably could have planned the wedding myself, but I’m positive that using Katie made the whole process less stressful and more fun. I read a lot of wedding websites and magazines for advice, but Katie was a much more valuable resource. She helped us pick our wedding vendors, handled all correspondence, reviewed our contracts, and advised us on modern wedding etiquette. Katie kept us on track the entire time by meeting with us on a regular basis and communicating with us over e-mail. She also gave us some worksheets to use and access to an online planning tool, which was really helpful. Everything was well planned out ahead of schedule, so we never felt rushed. At work I usually have a hard time delegating tasks because I don’t trust many people, but I had complete confidence in Katie. We got to know each other well, so by my wedding day, it felt like one of my good friends was running the show. Katie knew exactly what our wedding vision was and she did a great job of making the event go smoothly. Overall, this was the best investment we made towards our wedding!

r was required by our venue, but I would have booked these ladies regardless. So worth the cost! They were organized, went above and beyond to make us happy, and let us enjoy and relax on our wedding day.

of the way! She is very quick to respond to emails and set up meetings with us or for us while we made our visits into town. And during the rehersal she was even able to keep our groomsmen in line. Now to the day of the wedding she and her assistant Arial were absolutely amazing! Everything ran completely on time and not a single hiccup occurred (at least not that I know of). Everything was flawless and I know we owe it all to her. She also recommended an amazing vendor team and gave fantastic advice. I just cannot rave enough about her!

as I confident that Sprinkled in Seattle could help us execute our plans for the wedding (which, at that point, we barely had!), we felt more at ease about the daunting task of doing the bulk of the planning ourselves. Katie was able to customize a planning package that worked for what we needed and didn't include anything we didn't. Her support throughout the planning process was impressive, and I knew that she was always just a call, text or email away if I needed her. In addition, while Katie is fun to work with and laid-back, she really knows her stuff and is not afraid to get tough and go to bat for her couples if needed. Her connections and reputation in the wedding industry helped to ensure that we had an amazing vendor team and that our wedding went off without a hitch. Jenn assisted with the day-of coordination and was a blast as well -- all of our guests remarked upon what an awesome team we had. Bottom line (in case you hadn't already figured it out) -- if you have an opportunity to work with Katie and Jenn, do it. You won't be disappointed!

day, Katie was there to provide support at every step. Katie helped us with anything we needed. We weren't finding any DJs we liked - Katie provided a great list of DJs based on our style and price point. We loved the DJ we ended up choosing from her recommendations! I needed help with last minute decorations at the venue - done! A muddy shoe stepped on my train, Katie had that stain gone in no time. Most importantly, I had peace of mind knowing that Katie and her assistant Jenn were there at my venue so I could enjoy time with my family and friends. I don't handle stress well under normal conditions, and much less so on my wedding day! Katie has great sense and helped me focus on the important stuff when I was determined to nitpick a small issue with the florist. She immediately took action to solve the problem and relieve my stress. I could go on! Believe me when I say that Katie is the best and will take care of your wedding! She is super organized, professional, tasteful, and fun!! Thank you so much Katie!

couldn't agree, I decided to look at other DOCs and I am so glad I did. After we met Katie, I knew she would be the perfect person to help us on the day of our wedding. We both loved how down-to-earth and real she was, and on top of that, she was cheaper than the other DOCs we had looked at before. She had great ideas, was super helpful, but never tried to overtake our wedding and push her own thoughts or agenda. On the day of the wedding, I didn't worry about a single thing and we had an amazing time. Katie and her assistant Jen were the best people we could have hired to take care of everything the day of our wedding.

Slayton, owner and creator of Sprinkled in Seattle. We had 80 guests for our Seattle wedding and to this day we still get compliments on how memorable and amazing our day was. Katie handled all the details, from helping to put up decorations, setting the timeline with the photographer and DJ to getting the wedding party together for pictures. She emailed weekly to check in with me leading up to the wedding and would respond to emails within minutes - including the emails that I would send at one o'clock in the morning! She handled numerous changes with ease and grace. On the day of the wedding, I didn't worry about a thing because I trusted that Katie would orchestrate the entire day based on the vision my husband and I had. It was not in my budget to have a planner, and cutting costs on decorations and flowers was well worth having Katie!

ed being... let's say weird. She rolled with everything from us losing our first venue, to a last minute change to the bridal party. We would have been running around doing everything to set up, but she was there. She also make shifted two cookies on to the top of our cake when the cake topper slipped our minds when packing up. We had a heck of a ride getting to our big day, Katie was there with us through all of it. Very worth it.

he little details the day-of and really helped my vision come together!

had disappeared off the grid with my deposit, never to be heard from again. I was gun shy about booking with another coordinator however I knew I needed one. Our consultation went great; Katie was professional, answered all of my questions with examples of what she had previously dealt with and had the amazing reviews online to back it up. She never once made me feel ridiculous for some of the questions I asked. After leaving our meeting, I went home and looked up her reviews first thing. After reading that she literally gave a bride the dress off her back, I was sold. I knew I would be nervous booking with anyone but I had a certain calm about Katie, so we booked Sprinkled the next day and never looked back. While I booked day of coordination, she went above and beyond every step of the way. When my first venue informed me they were closing, she spent the entire next day going from venue to venue with me. She attended several planning meetings, walk throughs and helped with ideas for certain elements of the wedding as well. She also referred me to several vendors that I ended up booking with. While many companies can make you feel like you are just a number, that is not the case with Sprinkled. Katie met with me along the way over wine and coffee and answered questions that I had, provided advice and helped calm me down during those bride-to-be freak outs. She would randomly text or email me to check in and make sure things were going ok. I never had to wait more than 24 hours for a response to anything and that is such a great feeling! In fact, I don’t think I had to wait more than a few hours before hearing back. Katie made me feel like my wedding was important to her personally and was as vested in the outcome as I was. On the day itself, it was a relief to know she would be there. She handled everything during the planning process, so I knew she could handle it if anything arose during the wedding. That being said, there were no hiccups during the wedding, and I attribute that all to her careful planning. She confirmed all of the vendors and handled the creation and distribution for the day of timeline; it was such a relief to not have to worry about that. Katie stepped onto a ball that was already rolling, respected my budget, recommended me to amazing vendors, held my hand while I dealt with obstacles, helped keep me calm during the planning process and ensured that my day ran smoothly. She allowed for peace of mind amongst chaos. Besides my husband, the day would not have been complete without Katie. While it was the best decision I made for my wedding, I now have an amazing friend as well.
