Although we have other Kate’s in Kate & Company, this is the Kate with the moxie who makes it all happen. Kate is the owner combining her unique flair for event planning to produce inspired weddings, parties and social events of all sizes and styles. Kate is a celebrated savvy planner with over 20 years experience using a network of highly regarded vendors and venues with our team of personal planners to help create dramatic or intimate celebrations. Kate is also our destination diva and global trekker with more stamps in her passport than our team combined. Having been to almost every corner of the world she is an expert at sleuthing out the perfect location to make a destination wedding or event a dream come true.

Kate is energetic (more like a force of nature) and, if you haven’t already figured it out, she takes on multi-tasking with the finesses of ninja force! She is a thrill seeker and fearless spirit with a “bucket list” filled with goals for future adventure. She enjoys anything outdoors from hiking, skiing, and golfing, to scuba diving and swimming. She is the life of any party and inspires us all to create weddings and events with passion, integrity and excellence to exceed our client’s expectations.

As our out of the box thinker, Leslie uses years of corporate experience in marketing and advertising along with her visual retail display expertise to create themes, designs and decor to personally touch each Kate & Company wedding and event. She’s our eco-chic consultant with a passion for an organic lifestyle and is an expert at making weddings/events Green and Glam affairs. She’s known for her obsession of the small details, unique “wow” features and the relationships she builds with our clients to create stunning weddings and events reflecting the client’s personality and vision.

She lives what she loves, from organic gardening (don’t mess with her heirloom tomatoes), traveling, cooking, decorating and entertaining to adoring time with her family and friends.

A few more obsessions to note…anything French, Italian and the number five! She calls everyone “Love,” makes a mean salsa, and you can find her in her office surrounded with the aroma of rosemary mint essential oils to invigorate and balance her workday.
