We had the absolute pleasure of spending time with Kate from Tapestry Event Co. as she wrote a heartfelt ceremony for us and was our officiant on elopement day. Let me first say, Kate is blessed with a positive, kind, and infectious personality that makes you feel like she has been your friend for years. From our first consult with Kate, we knew she’d be the perfect person to share our special moment with us. She took the time to learn about us and put those intentional moments in the ceremony. Kate agreed to join us on our adventure elopement, where we traveled to Mt. Rainier and hiked up saddle peak for the ceremony. For that we are grateful as the conversations were rich, laughter was shared, and tears flowed.
We highly recommend Tapestry and Event Co. for all things wedding and elopement planning. We went in with a business mindset and came out feeling like we made a new friend. Thank you, Kate!

Kate is amazing. We booked her to be our officiant for our elopement. And she truly is what made the ceremony so special. From our first call with her, we knew she was the right fit for us. She is so nice, funny, and just a happy person to work with. She really puts time, care, and effort into writing your ceremony to feel like you. She works closely with you to make sure you are happy with every part of your ceremony, having no issue if you want to add something or move sections around. Kate was great at communicating through the whole time we worked with her, offering reminders about different aspects of our day so that everything went smoothly. Day of, we had to work around some weather and shift plans a little bit and Kate was so great about it and was a trooper through the chilly rainy conditions. Honestly we could not be happier that we had her there to officiate our day. Highly highly recommend her for any aspect of your day!
MARIE + AJAY
Kate officiated our Bainbridge Island wedding, she was absolutely wonderful and we can’t recommend her enough. From the first interaction we sensed Kate’s warmth and talent for this work and truly enjoyed every step of the process collaborating with her. Kate is definitely a weddings expert - not only the best officiant around but went above and beyond helping with recommendations for a seamless ceremony, coordinating important day-of details with other vendors, and more. Kate sent us the most thoughtful series of questionnaires to help inform the ceremony she wrote for us, which was incredibly beautiful and really captured the essence of who we are as a couple and what we wanted our ceremony to convey. We highly and absolutely recommend working with Kate, we feel very lucky to have had the opportunity!

Tapestry did an absolutely perfect job planning our wedding on Whidbey Island. We were able to choose a package that was perfect for us, and once the planning started, Kate provided exactly the right guidance to us at the right time. When we didn't know where to turn for vendors, Tapestry was able to provide us with quality recommendations that exceeded our expectations. When we felt unfamiliar or uncomfortable with an aspect of the wedding planning, Kate instantly provided us with information or guidance, via email or even a video walkthrough. She did a great deal of work managing correspondence with vendors to ensure that we were operating ahead of schedule. And on the day of the wedding, Kate and Sara with tapestry managed every aspect of the wedding logistics -- we had literally zero things that needed to be brought to our attention, and felt that we could just relax and enjoy the weekend. My wife and I both took away both awe at the incredible job that Tapestry did, as well as gratitude for the personal touches and care that Kate provided to us as humans along the planning journey. Could not recommend Tapestry more highly.
ANDRA + JAMIE
Kate and the whole team at Tapestry were the cornerstone of our perfect wedding. Beginning over a year ahead of our wedding and through the early morning hours following it, Kate and everyone at Tapestry were wholly committed to creating a beautiful wedding that was both stress-free and deeply special to us. Kate’s experience is evident in her considerable expertise regarding PNW weddings and many of the vendors, as well as her ease in supporting our new ideas and unique vendors. We’re thankful for the once in a lifetime experience Kate and Tapestry helped us craft, though a little sad that means we only got to work with them once. We’d eagerly do it again!
MEGAN + ANDREW
Working with Kate and the Tapestry team was easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the start, we never felt like just another couple on their list of clients. Kate took the time to really get to know us. She made sure she understood our vision for our wedding, but also helped foster our own understanding of what the marriage meant to both of us. She helped us focus on what was important to us and why, which led to us feeling great about our decisions and staying true to what we valued for the day. She kept us grounded and organized, which is hard to do from states away and with my ADHD (squirrel!) tendencies. Kate has a beautiful way of balancing professionalism and organization with humor and kindness, so that nothing feels stressful, pressured, or difficult. Simply seeing the Tapestry team the day before our wedding helped calm my anxieties. Their calm control of all the details made it easy for me to relax and enjoy the day. I could type an entire essay on how much I loved working with Kate and all the ways she helped make my wedding day a beautiful celebration. But instead, I’ll give the TLDR and say Kate is a fabulous human and organizational boss who you definitely want to work with!
ALLISON + DAVID
Kate is, without a doubt, the best wedding planner to ever wedding plan. She handled my type-A, enneagram 1 self with ease and calmed my nerves every step of the way. She is personable, genuine, FUN and, most importantly, **excellent** at what she does. My husband and I came to her with a whole lot of ideas, hopes, and dreams, and she helped us mold them into the most special day. Kate consistently goes above and beyond for her clients by communicating clearly, being hella organized, and keeping us grounded and present. She's everything you could ask for in a planner and has mastered the art of underpromising and overdelivering. Our wedding wouldn't have been even a quarter of what it was without Kate, and we are eternally grateful to her and her team. I have notoriously high expectations for every aspect of my life, and the experience exceeded all of them.
ALLISON + DAWN
Kate and her team get shit done. They do it in a way that makes it all not only look easy, but fun, and with a personal touch that makes you feel as though she’s not not gone to this level for anyone else. Kate wants to know you, as an individual, as a couple, and is as genuine as they come. She ensures every single part of your wedding aligns with your ideals, values, and visions. Kate and her team show up in a way you don’t know they are there, but certainly know they took care of every little moment and experience. Wedding planning is joyful, but can also be stressful at times. Kate continued to bring us back to our joy. We had the most magical day, above and beyond what we could have imagined. We were able to be present, knowing Kate and her team had it brilliantly handled.
ALISON + AISLINN
There are not enough positive and kind words to say about working with Kate. She showed up to our wedding planning process with authenticity, personability, professionalism, organization that will blow your mind, and true passion. If you are looking for a sign of who to reach out to or go with for your planning needs- this is it.
JACK + RUDY
Hiring Kate and the Tapestry team as our wedding planners was hands down one of the best decisions we made as a couple when planning our wedding. Meeting Kate for the first time as prospective clients was like speaking to an old friend; she made us feel so comfortable and free to be ourselves, something which can still be hard to do as a queer couple navigating the wedding planning industry. Kate was our champion and advocate throughout our planning process. She helped us co-create and refine our wedding vision. We felt so supported throughout the entire process, not just as clients but also as human beings. Kate is a master coordinator and kept us and our vendors on track throughout the entire planning process with online tools for us to track our progress. Our wedding day was truly the best day of our lives thanks to Kate, her team, and the vendors she coordinated with to create and exceed our wildest visions of what our wedding day could be. We wholeheartedly recommend hiring Kate and the Tapestry team to co-create an intentional and deeply meaningful wedding experience.
LILY + JOHN
Tapestry came highly recommended and absolutely exceeded our expectations! Kate's methodical, simple, passionate, and expert approach on painting a picture of how our wedding would be and then guiding us every step of the way was truly amazing. Kate helped us coordinate even while being in different countries and she absolutely made our dreams come true. Things that stuck out to us were the usage of her vast industry knowledge and her ability to provide us advice based on experience. It was very comforting and relieved a lot of stress throughout the process knowing she had our best interest in mind. This was especially true in her ability to coordinate with all of our vendors and merge all the aspects together! The end result was everything we could have asked for! Kate made our visions come to life and by the time our big day came, we knew everything was handled. All we did was show up and enjoy the experience! Thank you Kate and Tapestry! Highly recommend to all searching for an absolute top of the notch wedding planner.
STEPH + ALEX
We had an amazing time working with Kate for our PNW adventure elopement! She exuded so much warmth and confidence during our first meeting, we knew that we could trust her to co-create our special day. Sure enough, she introduced us to several other wonderful vendors who brought the exact energy, values and experience we were looking for. Having Kate with us on the actual day felt like we had an old friend by our side which made it even more special. We're so grateful to have worked with Kate and the Tapestry team!
GRACE + JARED
KATE AND HER TEAM ARE THE BEST. Hands down. No contest. The BEST. When we got engaged, we knew we wanted to plan an elopement but we had no idea where to begin. We also knew that we wanted to invite people into this process that understood our heart behind our big day. I was overjoyed when I stumbled upon Tapestry because they are values based and intentional through every step. From our very first meeting with Kate, we knew we had found the perfect fit. She is so easy to click with, she is incredibly organized, knowledgeable, and just dang good at her job. She guided us along through the process and made sure we were doing our homework while encouraging us to savor our engagement season. We were halfway through planning an elopement in the PNW and threw out the idea of changing it to Yosemite and she was fully on board. She pivoted so well and continued her support in a professional and incredibly helpful way. Not to mention, on our elopement day, she took so much stress off of us by ensuring everything was running smooth and making sure our guests were taken care of. She was ready and prepared for everything that we forgot. Because of Kate and her team, we had the most amazing wedding day. We could not be more grateful to have found Tapestry Event Co., Kate, and the whole team. We are so grateful for everything they did for us. Most of all, we are thankful to call them friends and to have had the honor of celebrating our day with them. ♡
TINGY + ROBIN
After our first conversation with Kate, we knew she would be the perfect officiant for our day. She made our ceremony so special, and we couldn’t have asked for anything more perfect. We ended up having just a string of horrible luck in the weeks after getting married with the marriage certificate (always double check for typos in the marriage application!), health insurance, broken bones, etc., but Kate went above and beyond to help us out in any way she could. We are so incredibly grateful for this amazing human!
GILLY + MANU
We could not recommend Kate and her team more! We recently eloped to the Cascade Mountains (all the way from Chicago) and the entire experience went off without a hitch, thanks to Kate's guidance and wisdom. What was so impressive and special about the experience was Kate's ability to connect with us, even over Zoom meetings, and integrate what we wanted for our elopement with her understanding of how to make that happens. Her and her team really valued building a relationship with us as a couple, which I think was evident in our day and the various personal touches that showed up throughout. She connected us to great people for our other vendors, handled communications and logistics and allowed us to focus on enjoying ourselves. Our elopement truly was so special, intimate and beautiful, thanks to Kate and Chelsea!
LORISSA + AERON
I could literally write an entire novel about how amazing Kate and Tapestry is but I will keep it short. I was a covid bride. There were many uncertainties and changes through out our elopement planning. Kate was incredible from the very beginning! She answered the many questions that we had and gave us encouragement when we had to change plans. She was great about reminding us that our elopement was about us and what we wanted. When we have difficulties making decisions she would always ask us “How do you want your day to look?” Which is a phase my husband and I commonly use now. One of my biggest wishes was not only to get married in one of Washington’s national parks but for the place in the park to be beautiful. Kate is extremely knowledgeable about the national parks... Kate also chose the greatest vendors for our elopement. Everyone was professional and welcoming. Kate and the team were also my personal hype team as I was getting ready. Kate officiated our ceremony. After our first look we had a private prayer just me and my husband. This was very important to us. Kate wrote the prayer and it brought me to tears as she read it! As I told the team the day of our elopement, Kate is a genuine soul and just over all amazing. Our elopement was more special than I imagined it to be.
ALE + CAM
Where to start? We are so incredibly grateful to have found Kate at Tapestry. She was there for us through every twist and turn along the way and not only did it make the wild ride of planning through COVID that much more enjoyable (shocking I know!), but we are coming away from this with a lifelong friend. Kate listens and she expands upon. She values you as people and as a couple and makes sure that you are heard. Her warmth, her grace under pressure, and her wildly generous spirit are unmatched and we are beyond thrilled that she could be the one help us cross that finish line. Thank you for everything, Kate and Tapestry!
SAM + JEFF
The entire team of Tapestry are rock stars. Bri brought the chill to the crew, between snacks, drinks, steaming dresses, check-ins and mind-reading. Kerri brought the party with her energy, giant smile, and superior problem-solving skills. Chelsea was the master behind the scenes, contacting vendors and finding transportation for our guests. And Kate, she brought everything. She brought the magic, the joy, the assurance, the incomparable professionalism. We could not have had the day we wanted without this team. It was perfection, simply the best. Thank you Tapestry, with all our hearts, forever.
VICTORIA + DAN
Kate and her team CRUSHED our Wedding. She was an incredible partner in planning: connecting us with great vendors as well as bringing positive energy to all of our planning sessions. She coordinated across our in-person and our virtual wedding services, made the flurry of vendors feel like one cohesive group, and above all made Victoria and I feel incredibly special and worth all the effort. THANK YOU, TAPESTRY for making our dreams come true!
ERIN + BRENT
“Kate and her services stand out to us because she is simultaneously mellow while having every detail completely covered. The best example I can think of is that on our wedding, we had an unexpected downpour of rain (I'm talking about flash flooding here) 15 minutes before our ceremony. Kate zoomed in and out of our hiding room, constantly smiling and making us feel totally cared for. She arranged the outdoor ceremony to be moved into an indoor room of the venue, and even though we weren't outside to see it, we heard countless guests singing her praises for communicating with them, moving decor out of the rain, and making an intimate ceremony space from the ground up. She even had champagne waiting for us as we processed from our ceremony! If Kate was stressed, we never would have known it - and that's what you want! Kate has a way of making you feel held and loved through the entire process of the wedding - we highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend her for your events!”
RACHEL + BRIAN
Our experience with Tapestry could not have been better! They went above and beyond our expectations. They were incredibly helpful in de-stressing the planning process and helping us narrow down the values that were most important to us for our wedding day. They were extremely timely in answering any questions we had throughout the process and even helped us navigate through an issue with a vendor that happened after our wedding was over.
On the day of our wedding the weather forced a lot of our plans to change and Kaska and Bri were amazing at rolling with the punches to make sure everyone was still able to have a great time.
We would absolutely recommend Tapestry to anyone and everyone that is about to get married in the near future!
NATALIE + GREG
Kate saved the day for us! My husband and I had a very small wedding ceremony in September 2020 on our original wedding date, but had always planned to have a larger wedding when COVID became more manageable. Fast forward to 2022, our wedding was coming up at the end of March and we had no idea what to do for our ceremony. We knew we wanted to have a ceremony again so our friends and family could share in that experience, but we were at a loss for what to include in this "second" marriage ceremony (everything online was about a second marriage after a divorce - not our situation!). We contacted Kate to officiate for us and explained all of our concerns in our initial call and immediately felt at ease when Kate assured us she knew what to do! We filled out some in-depth questionnaires about our relationship and the end result was a beautiful ceremony in front of our loved ones that was more than we could've hoped for! Kate also included a fun surprise that we will cherish forever. We heard from several friends and family members how much they loved our ceremony and that is all thanks to Kate - she was a great partner, helped alleviate a stressful part of the wedding planning process, and was a joy to work with - we cannot recommend her enough!!
ALEX + SCOTT
I cannot say enough good things about Kate and our entire experience with her for our elopement. Kate helped us plan from afar, during covid, and then we added on her officiating services as well. The day went so smoothly and the ceremony did such a great job of getting to the heart of our relationship and tying in our family from across the country. The only downside is that now our elopement is done, we don't have a reason to talk often! Highly organized, pulled together the entire vision, and every vendor recommendation was amazing. Day went off without a hitch and far exceeded my wildest dreams and it was all thanks to Kate. 10/10 recommend.
JESS + KENDI
Kate and her team killed it! Our day was perfect. We had a small ceremony on Ruby Beach. They called for rain - but Kate and her team watched the weather and suggested we move the ceremony up two hours. We did so and we had no rain. Kate covered all of the details for the day so all we had to do was get our family out to WA and follow directions the day-of. We are so thankful for Kate and her team. Our day was perfect and we couldn’t have done this without them!
AMBER + CHRIS
Kate was a dream to work with! From the beginning I could tell she cared deeply about getting to know myself and my fiancé and what we wanted out of the experience. She figured out a way to bring it together perfectly! Kate is extremely organized, efficient, and so dedicated as she worked with us and all the changes in light of COVID-19. I love her warm spirit and the beautiful ceremony she gave us and our fur baby. I am so happy to have found her, I know our special day wouldn't have been as special without Kate leading the way!
BRE + STEVE
We found Kate (and Tapestry Event Co) through our elopement photographer. We were in search of an officiant for our wedding day. We set up a zoom appointment with Kate and we clicked immediately! Her energy, vibe and personality is so wonderful. She is one of the nicest humans you’ll ever meet. She did an outstanding job with creating a beautifully scripted ceremony that felt so special to us as a couple. It was custom to what we wanted. After the ceremony her and Chelsea from her team had set up this beautiful picnic we designed together. My husband and I had lunch, wine and cut our cake. I wish we could have spent more time with them. They are wonderful!! I couldn’t thank them enough!
ARDITH + JOHN
Kate was a dream to work with from the get-go. Over email and phone, she was friendly, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and FUN! Kate took the time to get to know us as individuals and as a couple, and our virtual conversations were engaging. Throughout the process, she kept us organized and on-track, and she had a hand-picked selection of vendor recommendations for each category. She helped us expand our thinking about what a perfect wedding day would look like, and by the end of it, we had crafted a day full of thoughtful touches. KOn the day of the wedding, we met Kate and Kristen in person (finally!), and it felt like we were meeting up with old friends. The care the team put into every detail was apparent. We had so many laughs along the way; I didn't think my wedding day could be as fun as it ended up being! We felt as if we were in the best hands from the start, and we're incredibly grateful for the thoughtfulness, talent, and enthusiasm Tapestry brought to our marriage!
