Meet Katelyn, Wedding Coordinator at Bramleigh Estate
Meet Katelyn, one of our talented wedding coordinator team members at Bramleigh Estate.
Even though she is the newest member of our busy coordination team, Katelyn has a wealth of experience with all things wedding related. Her background across both front-of-house service and wedding day operations gives her a strong understanding of what couples need before, during and after their special day.
Katelyn began her journey with Bramleigh Estate as a Front of House staff member, where she worked with numerous couples as a VIP Host and senior wait staff member. It was not long before her talent, care and passion for weddings were recognised, and we invited Katelyn to join our office team as a wedding coordinator.
As part of the Bramleigh Estate wedding coordination team, Katelyn now helps couples bring their dream wedding day to life with thoughtful planning, clear communication and a genuine love for creating beautiful celebrations.
We recently sat down with Katelyn to find out more about her role as a wedding coordinator, her experience at Bramleigh Estate and her interests outside of the wedding industry.
What is your role at Bramleigh Estate?
I am one of our Wedding and Event Coordinators. I help couples throughout their wedding planning process and assist them in bringing their dream wedding to life.
My day-to-day tasks could include anything from helping a couple plan the timing of their wedding day, compiling a list of guest dietary requirements for chef or ensuring that our dining room décor is set exactly as planned on a couple’s special day.
Every day is varied and exciting, and I get a real buzz out of seeing my couples enjoy their sometimes many years of wedding planning coming to life.
Before becoming a wedding coordinator, I spent a few years working with our operations team as a VIP Host. A VIP Host looks after the couple on their wedding day to ensure they feel supported throughout the celebration and that everything runs smoothly for them.
That role gave me loads of knowledge on both the best wedding day ideas and the not-so-good ideas to avoid. It also helped me understand how important it is for a wedding coordinator to be organised, calm and ready to support couples through every stage of the day.
What do you love about your role?
I absolutely love having the privilege of being able to witness a couple’s wedding process from start to finish. It is exciting to follow a wedding all the way through from being a blank slate to a fully decorated event that all guests can enjoy.
It is also interesting to see how differently each couple chooses to celebrate their special day, with their own cultures, traditions and personal touches. Every wedding is unique, and my favourite part is always the traditional dancing.
As a wedding coordinator, being part of those meaningful moments is incredibly special. There is something so rewarding about watching all the planning, decisions and details come together into one beautiful wedding day.
What do you find most difficult when coordinating weddings?
The most difficult part of planning weddings is handling last-minute changes. Life happens and there are always changes. It just means our coordination team needs to have top-notch time management and communication skills to ensure operations and the kitchen team are in the loop at all times.
Our coordination, operations and kitchen teams also have weekly operations meetings together to ensure that the finer points around the running of each wedding are discussed. It is super important to us that absolutely every detail is taken care of for our couples on their special day.
A great wedding coordinator needs to be flexible, organised and calm under pressure. Whether it is updating timings, confirming guest requirements or making sure the venue styling is exactly as planned, every detail matters when creating a seamless wedding experience.
What are your hobbies and interests outside of the events industry?
Outside of the events industry, I was a dancer for over 15 years and am trained in styles such as ballet, tap, jazz, contemporary and hip hop.
You will also often find me out on a walk or playing with my new puppy, Benji. He is a cheeky little Corgi who keeps me on my toes and is forever chewing things.
I also love spending time with friends and going out to eat. My favourite is pizza or pasta, as well as going to concerts and festivals.
