Today we’d like to introduce you to Kate Harper.

Kate, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
Ever since I was a little girl, I have been infatuated with weddings! If you ask anyone who knew me growing up, they would tell you that I have always wanted to be a wedding planner. I honestly can’t think of anything else I would rather do! Flash forward to college – it was time for me to start looking for a job that would eventually turn into a career. I stumbled upon an internship 45 minutes away from my school and essentially just kept showing up until they were able to offer me a job! I was fortunate to work for two firms in the Chattanooga area with different planning styles. Eventually, I was ready to take the next step and open my own company!

Has it been a smooth road?
I started the Harper Event Company in November 2019. While opening an event planning company right around the holidays and in the middle of engagement season seemed like a great time, Covid definitely made things a little more interesting. While 2020 was off to a slower start, it allowed me to focus on creating a solid foundation for my company and ensured that my planning process is solid and thorough for my brides. I am pleased to say that things are picking up, and I am looking forward to celebrating all of my wonderful clients for the remainder of 2020 and 2021!
