Wedding Planners in Portland, Oregon
The KTE Wedding Experience
The destination, and the journey.
Just as a musician rehearses for a concert or an athlete practices for a game -
Success is only possible when you dedicate the necessary time, energy, and work.
So while other planners have their eyes set on the finish line, We focus more on the +/- 12 months before.
And, in the end, create a final wedding experience that's just as amazing as the journey getting there.
What to Expect
Full-Service Portland Wedding Planning & Design
Before any step is taken or decision made, our first order of business is to create your custom wedding production timeline. This document is broken down into three phases - and arranged and addressed according to your schedule.
From there, we'll guide you through the wedding planning and design process from beginning to end, step-by-step.
Wedding Design
There's a story to be told at your wedding. Your story. And we aim to tell it in a compelling and sophisticated way with every touchpoint.

Financial Estimate
