We chose Coastal Coordinating because they were recommended by Melissa at Isla Del Sol, and they had several years of experience putting on weddings at this venue. Cayla was incredible and helped walk us through so many details we would have struggled with on our own. On the day of the wedding, she made sure everything was set up and on time, and it looked beautiful.

We live in Boston, Massachusetts, but both of our families live in the Tampa Bay area, so it was a clear choice for us to celebrate here. What made our wedding unique is we planned it all from afar in Boston. Thankfully, we had Katy and Coastal Coordinating on our side, which allowed us to have an effortless planning process. We wanted someone who would make the process seamless and fun! We were not sure about all the features that were needed to plan a wedding and wanted someone who could help us at every step of the way, which is why Coastal Coordinating was the best!

We hired Coastal after speaking with Katy and realizing she was going to make the planning process exciting for us! She was on top of every single detail and always ensured we knew every aspect of the planning. She went above and beyond for us, which allowed us to truly enjoy the planning and the day itself. We would recommend Coastal Coordinating to anyone who is looking for help in planning their big day.

We wanted someone who truly understood weddings inside and out and someone we could rely on to guide us through the entire process. We needed a wedding planner who just got us and knew what we were thinking.

Katy, Carly, Cayla, and the entire Coastal Coordinating team were incredible from start to finish! They made the planning process seamless and were extremely helpful on the wedding day. They were knowledgeable, hands-on, and really connected with us. It was amazing from day one.

We were looking for a planner to help with the entire process. I feel very lucky that we got to work with Coastal Coordinating before our wedding; hiring them was a no-brainer. I love that they make their brides feel like they have their full attention and commitment.

Katy Martin and her team have been wonderful to work with over the years. They are truly second to none, and I can’t thank them enough for their 5-star service. Coastal Coordinating helped create our dream wedding!

I wanted someone who I trusted to make sure the day ran smoothly. We hired Coastal Coordinating because when we met Katy, we loved them and trusted them!

I wanted someone I could connect with, who understood my vision and was very organized. From my first call with Katy at Coastal Coordinating, she was very personable and relatable. She had suggestions based on my vision and opinions. It was apparent she knew her stuff, and she was very easy to get along with.

We were looking for someone who could help be our eyes and ears on the ground in Florida in the time leading up to the wedding, given we were planning from the Northeast. We also wanted someone who was organized and fun to work with because we knew we’d spend a lot of time working with them leading up to the big weekend. Sneh and I both have crazy work schedules, so we also definitely needed someone who would be able to drive a lot of the elements of the planning.

Coastal Coordinating checked all the boxes described! They have such a vast, connected network down in Florida, and they are all incredibly professional and wonderful to work with. Katy, in particular, is honestly a magician with how much she juggles and still remembers every detail of her client’s wedding planning.

We were particularly interested in finding a wedding planner with a lot of experience in the St. Pete/Tampa area and a strong network of local vendors and venues. Equally important was finding someone who could understand our vision and assist us in selecting vendors who matched our vibe.

We chose Coastal Coordinating because they embodied everything we were looking for in a wedding planner. From our initial interactions, it was clear that they were well-connected within the local wedding industry and had a wealth of experience to draw upon. Throughout the planning journey, we were impressed by the dedication and expertise of the Coastal Coordinating team. On every call, and especially on our wedding day, there were numerous helping hands and extra eyes ensuring that everything ran smoothly.

They left no stone unturned, making my Virgo self exceptionally happy. Thanks to Katy and Rae at Coastal Coordinating, our wedding day surpassed all expectations, and we couldn’t have been happier with their advisory planning service.

I enjoy making decisions on details and having that autonomy. So, when it came to finding a wedding planner, I wanted one who could help me by providing resources and following up on finalizing details. We had a large wedding, so it was very important that they would be able to coordinate all the moving parts.

We chose Coastal Coordinating based on the good reviews posted and seeing their work on social media. In addition, their price for full wedding planning was within our budget and financially feasible. The service that Coastal Coordinating provided was so good! Cayla was our wedding planner, and she was very patient with guiding and reminding me to get certain tasks done. On the wedding day, they were great with having everything ready and in order.

We looked for a wedding planner who had a lot of experience in the Tampa market. We also wanted someone who was easygoing and made the process enjoyable.

We chose Coastal Coordinating because of their reach in the Tampa market. We saw they had done a lot of weddings in Tampa that fit what we were looking for. Our first call with Katy was very warm and inviting, and she made us feel at ease about the whole process, not overwhelmed. Cayla was our wedding planner, and she went above and beyond for us. She was very easy to reach and had great ideas, but also helped us create our own vision and worked very well with our vendors. We had a lot of moving parts with our wedding, but she made it feel effortless and stress-free and was super accommodating!

I wanted someone who was friendly, well-networked in the community, and made us feel special.

Katy Martin with Coastal Coordinating is outstanding and really goes above and beyond for her clients. She had a very warm and kind energy and truly wanted the best for her clients and business. She even sent me flowers when I lost a loved one before the wedding. She is a great person all around.

Coastal Coordinating was a preferred vendor at Hyatt Clearwater Beach. When I looked at their Instagram, I noticed one of my friends from back home used Coastal Coordinating for their destination wedding. My friend raved about Katy and also how she was from Pittsburgh too! Long story short, we always say that no matter where you go or who you talk to, there is always a connection to Pittsburgh. During our consultation call with Katy, we found out that Katy’s family was from the same hometown as my dad! Even crazier, one of her family members and my dad were friends back in grade school, and our grandparents lived a couple blocks from one another. It was meant to be!

I can’t explain the amount of love and gratitude we have for Katy and her team. She spent countless hours with us, from preparing our timeline, answering our questions and concerns, and being our lifeline the last 60 days to the day of the wedding. Katy and her team went above and beyond to make our wedding day one of the best days of our lives.

I wanted someone who I would feel comfortable emailing, calling, and texting after any random thought I had, and that was Katy! I can be very indecisive, so I wanted someone who would give me their true opinion.

I specifically chose Coastal Coordinating because they did such an amazing job with my sister’s wedding, but I had an amazing experience with them myself. Katy called regularly to check in, updated my mood board with any changes I made, helped me through tough choices, and was outstanding on the day of my wedding. One of my bridesmaids had a water stain from the steamer, and Katy called the dress shop immediately to figure out the best way to get it out. She even offered me her spare pair of socks when I couldn’t find mine to change into my wedding sneakers. Katy and her team made sure I had food, drinks, and anything my husband and I needed during the ceremony and reception. They truly went above and beyond!

We wanted someone who was kind and easy to work with, who understood our vision, who was organized and knew the industry, and someone who would be fine with our 10,000 questions! When we started the wedding planning process I was very overwhelmed. I called a local planner and had a terrible experience. She basically told me that my vision was impossible unless I was willing to spend 5x my budget. I was in tears!

The next day I had a call with Coastal Coordinating, and it was a completely different and wonderful experience. The team there assured me that we could work together to bring my vision to life and do it within budget! They had great connections in the industry and were able to introduce me to new vendors that hadn’t even crossed my radar yet. Jess, our coordinator, was available 24/7 for questions/ideas/calls and helped us every single step of the way. She truly made wedding planning and our wedding day(s) as stress-free as possible! Rob and I couldn’t get over how wonderful the team was and how thankful we were to have found them! Whatever you have to do, hire a wedding planner! It will truly allow you to relax and enjoy the process and your wedding day!

We were looking for someone who would help us with every part of wedding planning. We spoke to some who put restrictions on what they would and wouldn’t help us with from the first meeting. We really wanted someone who was excited to be a part of the planning process with us.

We hired Coastal Coordinating because that was the exact vibe and experience we got from Katy, the owner, and Cayla, our coordinator. Cayla was amazing, especially the day of. I can’t imagine the wedding day without her. She was resourceful and kept every ounce of stress that otherwise would have landed on me to herself so Josh and I could fully enjoy our day.

We initially weren’t going to use a wedding planner; however, our venue created a partnership with Coastal Coordinating.

It was really nice having an extra set of hands on-site to help keep the day running smoothly.

I needed someone who was not just going to say ‘yes’ to me. I needed to keep it real and be told the facts. It was nice to have someone on my side who was looking out for me through every logistical detail and vendor decision. My first vendor outside of our venue was Katy with Coastal Coordinating. I asked the team at The Don CeSar for recommendations and instantly felt connected to Katy’s personality. We had a long discovery call prior to booking, and I already felt like she knew exactly what I needed.

We wanted a day-of coordinator and loved that Coastal Coordinating provided a premium day-of package where they became more involved a couple of months before the wedding. We planned our wedding about two years in advance and booked Coastal Coordinating within the first month. We wanted to feel comfortable putting the reigns in their hands for the day so we could step back and enjoy the day to the fullest.

Katy and the team encouraged open communication even at the start of this process, many months before their contract technically kicked in. We received vendor recommendations, could ask questions when needed, and forwarded vendor contracts as we signed them. By the time we were nearing the wedding, it felt like Katy and her team were already caught up. We also had many meetings with Katy and our venue to go over timelines and perfect the plans. Katy and her team at Coastal Coordinating are worth their weight in gold. They made the whole day run smoothly, and we didn’t have to worry about a single detail. These teams worked so well together and made the day so enjoyable.

We were looking for someone with experience. Since this was my first time planning a wedding, I needed a professional to help me thru the day. I talked to several planners and gelled with Katy from Coastal Coordinating the most. She was so nice to talk to over the phone. She was also confident that she was going to make our day a breeze, and spoiler alert, she did! Katy was super understanding about the budget. The day-of service was worth every penny. Also, we were never empty-handed at the wedding when it came to drinks which was such a nice touch!

Someone organized and resourceful.

We used Coastal Coordinating as they were very affordable and had lots of experiences with Indian weddings. Katy helped with finding all our vendors.

I needed a planner who provided a full wedding planning package, not just day-of-coordination. I work full-time, and we were moving during the wedding planning process, so I specifically needed someone who could help from start to finish.

Katy at Coastal Coordinating is extremely thorough and kept me organized! She has many contacts throughout Tampa Bay and remembered all of the little things that any stressed bride-to-be would forget.

I wanted someone who understood my vision and offered outstanding service. Coastal Coordinating is extremely professional and organized.

I cannot recommend them more. The entire process was stress-free and exciting, as it should be.

Personality and price. We wanted to make sure whoever we were working with was a good fit for us, personality-wise, since you do a lot of meetings and correspondence during the planning process, and the planner is also there with you on your big and, at times, stressful day.

Coastal Coordinating was a great price for all of the services they were providing as they were bringing so much value to the planning process to make sure everything ran smoothly the day of.

After reading countless 5-star reviews of Katy and the Coastal Coordinating team, we decided to reach out for a quote. Katy was the best, and I could not imagine how my day would have gone without her expertise and overall knowledge of this industry.

I felt 100% confident Katy would provide the best service; it was above and beyond! She was very organized and fun to work with. I really enjoyed her team, and her connection with other vendors is amazing. If we had an idea, she knew exactly who to contact.
