About Planning Collective

Planning Collective

Lead Wedding Planner

With over 20 years of wedding planning experience, I help couples plan stress-free, personalized celebrations that reflect their story and style. Through Planning Collective (previously Purple Clover Events), I offer in-person and virtual planning options, a step-by-step online membership, and practical tools to simplify every stage of the process. My goal is always the same, to make wedding planning feel clear, fun, and manageable so you can enjoy your engagement and your wedding day.

I combine the personal touch of a seasoned planner with the flexibility of modern tools. My clients get the best of both worlds - expert support, proven systems, and an approachable process that turns overwhelm into clarity. From couples who want full-service help to those planning on their own, I provide a clear path, trusted guidance, and resources that make planning feel easy, organized, and even fun.

In three words: Calm, Practical, Supportive

Best ever wedding planner

Kate is an amazing person inside and out. We fell in love with her on the very first meeting. Her kindness is extraordinary. As I was going through an extremely hard financial time, she was there to support me in all of my wedding dreams and make sure my wedding came to light as I dreamed of! Throughout the process, Kate is readily available at any given time. She is so patient and can work through just about anything and knows SO many vendors!!! I really cannot recommend her enough. Even through some rain and a very detailed backyard wedding, Kate made everything look like a fairy tail! Call her asap for all your wedding needs.
Kate is the Best

We truly could not have done our wedding without Kate. We utilized her “full service” package starting almost a year before our wedding, and it was worth every penny and then some. Kate’s availability was perhaps the thing we valued the most – she always told us she was just a phone call, text, or email away, and she really meant it. Whenever we felt like we were getting overwhelmed, we would reach out to Kate for a meeting and she would get us calmed down. Because of Kate’s organization and planning, we always felt like we were moving forward and progressing towards the end goal of the wedding. Even with all of the stress, we knew exactly what we had to do and when we had to do it. There was never a moment when it felt like anything was slipping under the radar. Most importantly, our wedding day itself was totally seamless. We were never rushed; everything was under control. We did not have to worry about anything, as Kate had mapped everything out perfectly and arranged all of the details ahead of time. If there were any issues at all during the wedding, we did not hear of them. Any time any little thing came up, Kate was on it. Our wedding day was the best day of our lives, and it would not have come together without her! Thank you Kate!
