Services

One of the only event planning companies in the country doing this, 50% of our couples utilize our custom manufacturing & artisan collection. It allows us to curate details you simply can’t find elsewhere. Want a photo-booth wall made of hand-painted tiles from Mexico? Check. Want to gift your guests olive oil from a small village in Greece? Done. Dreaming of a custom glass stage? Been there, done that. We even offer our own bridal jewelry line, along with custom soaps and candles crafted specifically for Kokate Events couples. If you can dream it, we can make it.

Please note that custom manufacturing does have an additional fee, corresponding to the cost of materials.

At Kokate Events, we curate only one Complete Partnership per day, with AJ, our Head Planner, personally guiding every moment. Extensive and Simple Partnerships receive AJ’s dedicated attention when available, which is confirmed during your Initial Consultation. Most Simple Partnerships are done by our seasoned coordinators who ensure it is effortless perfection.

Every element of your wedding is thoughtfully designed to tell your story: florals that captivate, layouts that flow effortlessly, décor that elevates the entire experience. Our signature custom invitations and couture-inspired ensembles are reserved for Complete Partnership clients, a reflection of the time and artistry poured into each creation. We even craft bespoke wedding websites, ensuring every detail feels seamless and intentional.

Sometimes, we source extraordinary pieces from the market that perfectly echo the vision we’ve developed together. And when the perfect fit doesn’t exist, our custom manufacturing brings your bespoke dreams to life, ensuring your celebration is entirely one-of-a-kind.

Elizabeth, our Head Designer, curates every detail with impeccable style—from bespoke invitations and couture-inspired outfits to exquisite floral arrangements. For the Extensive Partnership, she remains your dedicated designer, stepping into meetings only as needed. This ensures her time is devoted to crafting the elevated, thoughtful designs that define your celebration.

We offer our couples an elevated, concierge-style financial management service in which all wedding expenses flow seamlessly through Kokate Events. With a single contract and a dedicated team overseeing every detail, you enjoy a refined, effortless planning experience. This exclusive service provides:

• Preferred pricing and priority access with most vendors

• Streamlined communication through one trusted point of contact

• Flawless coordination, risk management, and compliance with venue and insurance standards

• Complete transparency and accountability across every partner involved in your event

How it works:

• We establish a comprehensive wedding budget tailored to your vision (flexible payment plans available).

• As selections are finalized, we request your written approval before allocating any funds—ensuring every investment aligns with your priorities.

• Following the wedding, we reconcile the final spend. Any overage is invoiced, and any remaining balance is promptly refunded.

• Example: For a $100,000 wedding budget with a $10,000 planning and design fee, $90,000 is allocated for curated vendor selections. If the final spend is $95,000, you receive a $5,000 refund; if it reaches $105,000, the additional $5,000 is due.

There is a 1.5% processing fee by bank transfer or 3.5% processing fee by credit card for this service.

On average, we save couples 5% of their total wedding budget through contract negotiations. Couples who opt for the wedding expenses save, on average, 9%. Results do vary depending on the couple and their vendor choices.
