hi, I'M KATE
Over the past 10 years, my team and I have earned a reputation for combining professionalism with a light-hearted touch, making your journey to the big day as enjoyable as the celebration itself.
Keep reading to learn more about me, my team, and our approach.
the elements of the
KATE FORD APPROACH
SCROLL TO SEE
PASSION + PROFESSIONALISM
While pursuing my Masters, I moved to Singapore, where I worked in events and experiential marketing at The St. Regis Singapore.
There I created unique events showcasing and celebrating the hotel's signature art collection. Working for a luxury hotel was not only an amazing opportunity to hone my design and event planning skills, but gave me the opportunity to learn the invaluable hospitality skills my team and I are so passionate about today.
Feel confident knowing your day is in the hands of knowledgeable and passionate professionals.
HARD WORK + DEDICATION
I grew up in an entrepreneurial home and was tasked with helping out the family business at an early age. This did more than merely spark my passion for business — it instilled the value of hard work and dedication. I thrive on chaos and I'm usually the calming voice in the middle of any storm.
Before your day, my team and I will ensure you're organized and on the right path. We'll be available and responsive. And we'll be your friends and confidants as we remain focused on your priorities every step of the way.
Relax and enjoy your day, knowing we're behind the scenes working hard —for you.
KINDNESS + POSITIVITY
From the first phone call, we'll take the time to get to know you. We'll provide honest information and resources, even before you hire us. And we'll customize a plan that fits your needs.
Then, with cheerful attitudes and positivity we'll see that you make it down the aisle with a genuine smile on your face and heart full of joy.
Have peace of mind every step of the way. Because yes, we care deeply about your event. But, we also care deeply about you.
CREATIVITY + COLLABORATION
We'll work to coordinate and plan your day with ingenuity, originality, and creativity. Not just in the design. But in the details and logistics too.
We'll dream up something beautiful and reflective of you. We'll connect you with reputable vendors we love. And we'll collaborate with them to organize and implement a well-planned vision.
Enjoy a stunning and impressive event that runs like clock-work and a comfortable experience for you and your guests.
