Meet Katie

I’m Katie Rose Hopkins, founder and lead planner behind Katie Hopkins Events. Originally from Massachusetts, I now call Montpelier, Vermont, home, where I live with my husband, our daughter, and our loyal Labrador Retriever. Whether we’re spending time with loved ones, adventuring the outdoors or savoring quiet moments at home together, I’m continually inspired by the beauty found in life’s meaningful experiences—a philosophy that guides every event I plan.

With a Bachelor’s Degree in Hospitality & Event Management and over ten years of experience throughout New England and the West Coast, I bring a well-rounded, hands-on approach to every celebration. My background spans front-of-house service, catering, floral design, and full-scale event planning—giving me the tools to support my clients with both confidence and care.  

Known for my bubbly energy and calming presence, I strive to be both your creative partner and your biggest advocate. My approach is collaborative, thoughtful, and deeply personal—because I believe your wedding should feel like you in every way.

My favorite part? Building true partnerships with my clients. I work as your advocate and confidante, anticipating needs and smoothing out every detail so you can relax and soak in every moment.

Take my hand—I promise to care for you and your vision every step of the way.

xoxo, Katie

"I cannot recommend Katie Hopkins Events enough! From start to finish, she was an amazing and bright light throughout our entire wedding weekend. Her upbeat personality made every moment more enjoyable. As a wedding planner myself, I knew I could trust Katie with any task—big or small, standard or unique. Her attention to detail and calming presence allowed me to truly enjoy my special day alongside my husband and guests. I couldn’t have asked for a better partner in planning this celebration. Thank you, Katie, for everything!"

"Working with Katie was truly a dream come true. She made the entire planning process so much more fun and seamless, and throughout the months leading up to our wedding continuously kept us on track and on top of all of the details that can feel so daunting to manage. On the weekend of the wedding, Katie’s support was above and beyond what I could have imagined. The day before our wedding I had THE most relaxing day (seriously, I actually sat by the pool and read a book) because I knew Katie had everything under control. On top of all, Katie brings such a warm and positive energy. We are so grateful that we had Katie with us through this journey - truly could not have done it without her!!"

"Katie was an instrumental part of the day. We do not know what we would have done without her. She was so organized and detail oriented. She kept the day running smoothly and on time. We have been working with Katie for nearly 2 years. Katie has been so kind, patient, and helpful. Our families have not stopped talking about how impressed they are with her. I truly can not thank her enough for her help on the wedding day as well as on the days leading up. I believe having her there was the only reason I was not an anxious mess. Thank you Katie!!"

"Hiring Katie Hopkins Events as our Day of Coordinator was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding this past July. She was AMAZING and went above and beyond in all aspects on our wedding day. She was so organized, friendly, calm, and easy to work with. She oversaw all aspects of decorating our venue, ensuring that the timeline ran smoothly, and helping with every single task big and small. MANY of our wedding guests have since asked us where we found our wedding coordinator and told us that Katie was the best. Katie was the reason that our wedding was as stress-free as it was. We cannot recommend Katie enough- hire her, you will not regret it!!!"
