IT'S SO NICE TO MEET YOU!
Kate Laine Events was founded by Gracie Kate and Holden Laine, brought together by a shared passion for creating meaningful, unforgettable celebrations. We met at Oklahoma State University through our husbands and instantly clicked, and so did our dogs, who quickly became best friends too. Oklahoma is home to all of us, and our friendship has grown right alongside Kate Laine Events.
We believe the planning experience should feel personal from the very beginning. We want to get to know you, your story, your style, and what matters most to you, while also giving you the chance to get to know us. We work with a select number of clients, both locally and worldwide, through a seamless planning and design process centered around genuine connection, thoughtful details, and a celebration that feels entirely your own. Our goal is to ensure every element comes together beautifully and exceeds your expectations, so you can be fully present and soak up every little moment. We strongly believe every couple deserves a wedding that is a true reflection of their unique love story. After all, this day only happens once.

The Value of...
COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING & DESIGN
Creating an extraordinary celebration requires far more than selecting vendors and managing logistics. It is the thoughtful orchestration of countless details, carefully curated experiences, and intentional design elements that come together to create something truly unforgettable. From the earliest stages of planning through the final moments of your celebration, our team serves as both trusted advisor and creative partner, ensuring every decision contributes to a seamless and elevated experience.
TWO LEAD PLANNERS & DEDICATED PLANNING TEAM
One of the greatest luxuries we offer is the presence of two lead planners and designers, supported by an experienced planning team. This level of coverage allows us to approach your celebration with exceptional attention to detail and a level of service that few firms can provide. While one planner oversees production, logistics, and vendor management, the other remains focused on design execution, guest experience, and the needs of your families and wedding party. The result is a celebration that feels effortless, refined, and impeccably managed from beginning to end.
CURATED DESIGN & EVENT PRODUCTION
The most memorable celebrations are distinguished by the details. Through thoughtful design development, custom floor plans, tablescape concepts, lighting considerations, and personalized guest experiences, we create an event that is both visually stunning and deeply personal. Every element is intentionally selected and carefully layered to ensure your celebration feels cohesive, sophisticated, and entirely reflective of your story.
VENDOR RELATIONSHIPS & MANAGEMENT
An exceptional wedding begins with an exceptional team. We guide the selection of trusted professionals whose talents, personalities, and expertise align with your vision and priorities. Beyond recommendations, we manage communication, oversee contracts, coordinate logistics, and ensure every vendor is fully prepared to execute their role at the highest level. This collaborative approach allows your wedding day to unfold seamlessly while maintaining the standard of excellence your celebration deserves.
SEAMLESS EXECUTION
A beautifully planned event should feel effortless to those experiencing it. While you celebrate with family and friends, our team is quietly managing timelines, overseeing installations, coordinating vendors, assisting guests, and navigating the countless details that occur behind the scenes. Every transition is thoughtfully orchestrated, allowing you to remain fully present while we ensure the day unfolds exactly as intended.
THE KATE LAINE EVENTS EXPERIENCE
Our philosophy is simple: your planning experience should be every bit as enjoyable as your wedding day itself. We believe true luxury is found in peace of mind, in the confidence that every detail has been anticipated, every contingency considered, and every moment thoughtfully planned.
Through direct access to our team, unlimited meetings, and personalized guidance throughout the process, we provide an experience that feels seamless, intentional, and deeply personal.
Your wedding is not simply a day on the calendar. It is a once in a lifetime celebration of your story. Our privilege is bringing that story to life with a level of care, sophistication, and attention to detail that allows you to savor every moment.
LITTLE DETAILS,
WORTH KNOWING
WHEN SHOULD I HIRE A WEDDING PLANNER?
We’d love to start working with you at any point in the process. However, our hope is to start at the very beginning with our couples. This allows us to suggest the right venue and vendors based on your desired wedding aesthetic, needs, wants, and must-haves. That being said, we’re happy to assist you whenever you need support in your wedding planning journey.
WHAT IS THE PAYMENT STRUCTURE FOR YOUR PACKAGES?
A retainer is due upon signing the contract to secure your date. Depending on the package you choose, the remaining balance will be split up throughout the planning process with the final balance due a month before the wedding day.
HOW MUCH ACCESS DO I GET TO YOU AS MY PLANNER?
Our goal is to be there for you throughout the entire process. You are able to schedule meetings and phone calls as needed, although we will be regularly checking in to ensure that everything is going smoothly, and no issues arise. In order to provide you with the best level of service, we have guidelines in place to streamline the communication process. This is to ensure whenever you reach out we can respond with our full attention and make note of any important details mentioned during our conversation.
CAN I HIRE YOU IF I'VE ALREADY HIRED SOME OF MY VENDORS?
Of course! We’re happy to pick up where you left off and coordinate with any of your current vendors to ensure no detail is unaccounted for as your wedding vision comes to life. We also have a list of preferred vendors. So if there are vendors you’re still looking to contract, we’re happy to curate a list of potential options that match your vision.
IF THERE ARE ADDITIONAL TASKS THAT I NEED ASSISTANCE WITH, CAN I ADD THOSE TO MY PACKAGE?
If there are additional services you need help with that aren't outlined in your desired package, wed be happy to add them in and create a custom package for you. Feel free to browse any of our add -ons to view the additional services that we provide.
WHAT PLANNING PLATFORM DO YOU USE?
We use Aisle Planner, an all-in-one planning platform that keeps your wedding details organized in one convenient place. You can access your personalized planning portal through our website under “Client Login.”
WHAT LEVEL OF SUPPORT IS RIGHT FOR ME?
The best way to determine what level of support is right for you is by reaching out to us to schedule a consultation. Once we learn more about your vision, how involved you desire to be in the planning process, and more about the logistics of your event we can suggest the best option for you. We’d also be happy to customize a package based on your event needs.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I HIRE YOU FOR ONE PACKAGE AND REALIZE I NEED MORE SUPPORT?

Gracie and Holden were amazing to work with from start to finish! They were so accommodating during the whole planning process and made everything feel a lot less stressful than it could’ve been.
On the wedding day, especially with the crazy weather, they handled everything really well. They stayed calm, kept things moving, and made adjustments without ever making it feel chaotic on our end. If anything went wrong, we didn’t even notice it.
They were on top of every detail and made sure everything ran smoothly so we could just enjoy the day. We’re really grateful for them and everything they did to make it all come together. Couldn't have imagined my day without them!

Morgan James, NY
Gracie and Holden were so wonderful to work with! The duration of wedding planning was so smooth and relaxed for us. I always felt like they had everything under control. Much of the planning was fun and not stressful thanks to their work.
They truly brought my wedding vision to life! From helping with the wedding stationary, signage, rentals, etc., every detail was perfect. We received many compliments that there was not a single detail missed on our wedding day. All credit to them!
They were also very great about listening to our concerns and advocating for our opinions across the vendor team. If I brought up anything that I was worried about, they made sure to address it properly with all parties who needed to be informed.
Wedding days can be so long and often bring high emotions. Gracie and Holden are great at handling everything with a smile on their faces. We were so grateful to have them be a part of our wedding. I highly recommend Kate Laine Events!
