Kate and her Happily Ever After Team exceeded all of our expectations! Kate was able to take everything, I mean EVERYTHING that I threw at her and make sense of it all. Having complete faith in Kate and her team, Andy and I were both completely calm and relaxed the whole time we were in Key West and on our Wedding Day, we had no worries at all! Having Kate allowed us to enjoy our family and friends that made to journey! Andy and I are already talking about a 5 year anniversary party to do it all over again....of course with Kate!

Kate and her team did an excellent job. There was so much that went on behind the scenes that she kept me from worrying about the day of. I.e. the rain that loomed over our wedding day and the many changes in plans. It was so nice having them there for the whole weekend, from beginning to end they were involved every step of the way. They made sure we ate at our events, were on time for everything, and were able to enjoy our guests. They even brought our favorite foods to our room at the end of the night. You guys did a great job and although we won't be needing another wedding planner :), we will highly recommend you all to any one heading your way for a wedding!

I had looked into and tried other wedding planners in the keys and she REALLY stood out as the most honest, most creative, most willing to work for you and with you, and the most passionate wedding planner!! She made my wedding a dream:she did exactly what I wanted and more, it turned out stunning! She listened to my husband and I about everything:our budget and our opinions throughout the whole process. She was always professional and calm. She really cares about the details, has great taste, and makes sure everything gets done smoothly and beautifully no matter what it is or what you want. Do not pass her up!!

Kate was the most wonderful wedding planner or any planner that we have ever worked with. She really went above and beyond to capture everything we wanted. The decor of the ceremony really was beautifuL as well as the reception. She helped tie all of our colors and themes together. Dancing under the stars was beautiful and she really worked to achieve everything we asked for. Kate was a great planner and we will truely miss her because of how sweet and wonderful she is.

Kate and Happily Ever After truly made our wedding day beautiful and allowed it to go off without a hitch. We were planning a Key West church wedding and outdoor reception and I was very indecisive (even switched the reception venue 2 months before the wedding) and Kate was really great about going with the changes and helping me make the final decisions. I can't complain at all about her accessibility or time spent with us as she met with us multiple times before the wedding. Her e-mail communication could be a bit slow but she experienced some server problems which is understandable. Overall it was her vision and attention to detail that allowed for a perfect day. At times I had trouble "seeing" how things would turn out but she knew what worked and what didn't and created a picturesque scene for our reception. Hiring a wedding planner is expensive, especially in Key West but for all that she does, it's worth it in the end. I would absolutely recommend her!

Kate at Happily Ever After Weddings was an absolute asset in planning our wedding and I would certainly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding coordinator! She made everything absolutely painless and really worked with us to ensure that we were getting what we wanted and staying withing the budget we needed. Even when issues arose she was quick to address them and really made it simple and seemless for us. In addition while kate used multiple vendors for everything from the flowers, transportation, hotel, music, dj, officient, etc. everyone of them was professional and did an amazing job! Kate really made our day perfect and we are so appreciative to her for making everything so memorable!

Kate and the staff at Happily Ever After Weddings were a pleasure to work with. We live in Miami and were unable to be in Key West as much as we would have liked to during the wedding planning process. It was a very comforting feeling for us to know that we had Kate and her staff working for us. They had many connections in Key West that came in very handy and were able to assist us with any special requests that we had. On our wedding day Mother Nature tried to throw a wrench in our plans but Kate and her staff did an amazing job of making sure everything worked out just as we had wanted and they were also able to make some last minute adjustments to work around the weather. Overall all the guests, as well as myself and bride, were thrilled with the way things turned out, and that is all that really matters.I would highly recommennd Happily Ever After Weddings to anyone who is interested in a Key West Wedding. Thank you again to Kate and her staff!

I thought Kate Bentley did an excellent job coordinating this destination wedding for our daughter. As the mother-of-the-bride, I was a little nervous about coordinating all the details from so far away (we live in North Carolina and the wedding was in Key West), but Kate did an excellent job working with all the other vendors (photographer, minister, hotel, DJ, etc.) to ensure that every detail was attended to. She was professional, positive, accomodating and flexible. On the day of the event, she was personally involved in decorating the tables, the beach where the ceremony took place and the veranda where the reception took place. Despite some early communication issues (some due to anxiety on my part!), Kate coordinated a beautiful wedding for our daughter.

Kate did an amazing job with our wedding. She and her team went the extra mile to make sure we had an amazing event and the results were stunning. We wanted a beach wedding that was formal and elegant and were very nervous about finding a planner in Key West that could pull it off, but Kate and her team completely delivered. The small touches and attention she pays to aesthetic details made all the difference. I think all of our 80 guests commented on how beautiful and well executed the wedding was. My only negative comment is that as an anal retentive control freak I was sometimes stressed out in the weeks before the wedding by our communication or lack thereof, but once we got down to Key West the week of, everything went perfectly and it was clear that Kate was on top of it. If you are looking to have a "real" wedding in Key West and want it to be beautiful and memorable, I would absolutely recommend Kate.

Kate provided comprehensive planning services, including recommendations for an officiant, photographer, caterer, DJ, and ceremony musician. This was a huge help considering mine was a destination wedding. Kate is friendly, upbeat, and creative. Response time can be a little lacking, but I know this is the "Key West" way. However, I suspect many clients who are not Key West residents might expect some quicker responses. Overall, the wedding came together beautifully! She was available to me and attentive the entire wedding day, leaving me to relax and enjoy the day. I would recommend her.

We hired Kate to plan our Key West wedding. Right after she recieved the signed contract and deposit, she was horrible with communication. All she ever provided us was a one day guide of vendors to interview with. After that, she never returned phone calls or emails, and when we did finally speak with her, she said she was busy and SHE set up a day and time to get back in touch with us but never did. After several failed attempts, we had no option but to fire her and plan our wedding ourselves. In that phone conversation she stated she would return our deposit but never did. BEWARE of giving her a 50% deposit. I would not recommend her. While we were planning wedding and speaking with other vendors, we were informed of numerous other couples who had the same or similar experiences with her. Again, I would not recommend her to plan your wedding! All she needed to do was to communicate, and if she did not want to do that, the next correct and professional thing would have been to be a woman of her word and return our deposit.
