Five stars really does not do this girl justice. I hired Katrina last minute as a day-of-coordinator when I started to realize that I did not want myself or my mother to be running around worrying about the little things on my wedding day. And THANK GOD I did. From our very first meeting she was very professional, thinking of potential scenarios that had not even occurred to me. She came to the rehearsal which turned out to be very valuable since my church was less than experienced with wedding proceedings.
On the day of my wedding, Katrina did all the set-up at the reception (I basically handed her a bunch of trinkets/decorations and her creative eye made the room look better than I could have ever imagined), fixed my father's boutonniere when it snapped in two, shuffled flowers from the church to the reception in the pouring rain, counted cupcakes for me during one of my bridezilla moments, cleaned up at the end of the night, and I'm sure much more that I was not even aware of! She thought of so many extra things such as taking the personalized labeled wine bottles home with her because she knew (even before I did!) that I would want to keep them as a memento. She not only took care of me and my husband, but she also looked after my guests. She even drove a couple of my friends home when their taxi never showed up! Amazing.
Her attention to detail is impeccable and she is very trustworthy and thoughtful. I am grateful beyond words that she was there to make everything run smoothly so that my husband, family, guests and I could enjoy the day. She is an excellent coordinator worth far more than she charges. I recommended her wholeheartedly to anyone considering hiring a wedding coordinator. And if you are not considering at least a day-of-coordinator, trust me that you do not want your mom or Aunt Betty to be managing all these unpredictable nuances. HIRE KATRINA!

I'm going to start off by saying I honestly don't think I could have made it through the day without the help of Love Blooms (Katrina, Talisha and Caity.) From completely organizing everyone at the rehearsal to the wedding day, I couldn't have asked for more. I didn't want to have to tell people what to do or make sure every little thing was perfect on my wedding day, and that's exactly what Katrina did for me. She had a solution for any problem that came up and made sure everyone was where they were supposed to be so I could just relax.
As a bride, in the planning process, you want to be able to talk out all the ideas you have and hopes for how it'll go... they were so easy to communicate with and had so many great ideas that I hadn't thought of. They were extremely easy to get a hold of with any questions I had too which was so important to me.
You really don't want to put all the pressure on yourself or your mom to make everything perfect, it was such a great decision to have Katrina and the girls help! I would recommend them to anyone interested. You will not regret it!!

Katrina Allen with Love Blooms Wedding and Event Design recently helped us with my daughter Anna's wedding. The wedding was large and fancy with 9 bridesmaids (and 9 groomsmen), 3 ring bearers and 2 flower girls. Just saying that because Katrina had a lot of responsibilities and people to deal with. I cannot say enough about this young lady. She was beautiful and caring and professional. She personally helped me so much and was perfect when problems came up. As mom of the bride, I had many responsibilities and my stress level was high. She calmed us all down with the right words to say and the take charge attitude that we needed. The problems that came up seemed insurmountable at the time by us, but were quickly solved by her. Her help to us was so valuable and completely needed! While the wedding itself turned out so amazing, Katrina herself was amazing behind the scenes helping to make it so. I highly recommend Katrina!

Katrina Allen, of Love Blooms Wedding and Event Design, is an incredible wedding coordinator. She helped me from the time I sought her out until after the wedding was over. The rehearsal and day of the wedding went by very smoothly because of all of her efforts. The best thing she told everybody who was helping decorate, set up, etc was "On the day of the wedding NOBODY, I mean NOBODY, goes to the bride for questions. You come to me. The bride needs absolutely no stress added to her day. She also needs to think that everything is going perfectly!" That was the best thing to hear. And it happened. I felt like the morning of went flawlessly. The only reason would be because of my AMAZING wedding coordinator.
If you are looking to hire a coordinator I HIGHLY recommend Katrina. She will make your life so much easier and your wedding absolutely perfect! Mine was product of that!!!!!!
