I can’t say enough about Kate Bentley Events!! Kate met my mother and I a little less than a year before my wedding date on a scouting trip to Key West and showed us around town where we decided on the Southernmost Resort for our venue. Kate even brought me chicken noodle soup when I got sick during the planning trip!!\r
\r
Over the course of the year of planning Kate offered great suggestions on restaurants and vendors and hooked us up with Nick Doll for photography, Southernmost Glam for hair and makeup, DJ Buggy for DJ services, George Victory for pre ceremony and ceremony steel drums and guitar music, Mama Flowers for floral, Old Town Bakery for brunch while getting ready in the room and wedding cake, and Florida Keys Party Rental for tent and linen rental. She also helped us find Rooftop Café for a bridal luncheon as well as setting up Conch Republic to cater our rehearsal dinner catamaran cruise on the Sebago Cubed. \r

Kate was a wealth of information as I planned the entire wedding from Washington DC with just the one preplanning trip. I’m a super planner myself and I know I drove Kate crazy at times but she kept me calm and assured me that everything would work out and it did. Even when a few hiccups occurred (first choice for bridal luncheon booked another party and after party claimed to not know we were coming) she found me another great option or made sure it all got corrected quickly. Kate also picked up all of the food and drinks for a guys’ fishing trip and delivered it to the boat captain so my husband and my dad wouldn’t have to mess with it the morning of their fishing trip. \r

Kate assembled all of our welcome bags and it was wonderful having a physical address to send things to prior to the wedding. Her mom was her helper on the day of and she was so sweet!! Kate was 8 months pregnant the day of our event (1/26/13) but was on her feet setting everything up and running over to check on my progress. The space looked great and months after our event people were still raving about it being one of the best weddings they’ve ever been to and how wonderful everything was. We wanted a long weekend vacation with all of our friends and family where we just happened to take the time to get married and throw an amazing party and that’s exactly what we got!!\r
\r
Thanks again Kate for a great wedding weekend and all of your help in the planning process. \r

Love,\r
Mary Kate and Victor Hughes\r
