LET'S TALK WEDDINGS with Wedding Coordinator Katie Deterding

Say hello to Katie Deterding. Katie moved into the wedding space only a few years ago. In her first year, she was the Wedding Coordinator for 17 weddings! That is impressive. Katie is energetic, honest with her couples, and loves the details!

See, it wasn't just a few years ago that Katie was getting married to her husband Matt in 2022. She loved being involved with her special day. At the time, she was working for another company. But it was only a short time until Matt encouraged Katie to do it alone. And the rest is history.

Today, Katie shares her story and some practical, actionable tips that are helpful for new wedding coordinators as well as couples looking to get married. These tips will empower you to plan and execute your dream wedding.

So today, LTW gives you a perspective on weddings through the eyes of our second wedding coordinator on the program. This episode has so many nuggets of gold, so whether you are a vendor or a couple, it is a must-listen. I am excited to share this conversation with you and hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
