What People Say About Kate
I honestly can’t put into words how special you made our day.
The ceremony was my absolute favorite part. It carried us through a wave of emotions, from tears to laughter, and felt so personal to us. Everything you created, from the way you guided us through the vows to the atmosphere you set for our guests, was just perfect. You gave us such calm and support, and that meant more than I can say. You were truly made for this role and the number of compliments I received about you was incredible. From the moment you said you could do my wedding I knew I had struck gold. Thank you for giving us memories we will treasure forever.
Kate was an absolutely fantastic host and MC for our Sustainable Fashion Party at Five Four Studios.
She brought warmth, humour, and brilliant energy to the event, effortlessly guiding the evening while keeping the audience engaged and inspired. Her passion for fashion and sustainability shone through in everything she said and did, helping to create a truly meaningful and memorable experience. From welcoming guests to introducing speakers, hosting a panel and getting everyone on their feet dancing, she created a vibe that was equal parts professional and joyful. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to represent what the Manchester Fashion Movement is all about — community, creativity, and purpose. We’d work with her again in a heartbeat.

Thank you for everything. The day was just as we wanted, and you have made it so much easier for us to talk about as a family.
Thanks so much for everything you did both on the day of the funeral and beforehand. The day was beyond what we expected; we all agreed we actually enjoyed it, and everyone who attended complimented how wonderful, funny, and warm the service was. We were nervous planning things, but you made it so easy; you really helped us a lot.
Thank you, Kate, for your wonderful service. Roger would be proud.
Thank you so, so much for everything that you did. It came together so well with everything that Rob and I told you about Mum, and the way you put it together. So many people said it just reminded them of mum. Thank you again for everything, and for the way it came together, and thanks for the printouts of the ceremony script on the day.
We would like to thank you for the beautiful service you performed for Janet yesterday. Everyone, without exception, said how lovely it was and that we had done Janet "proud". Thank you for your care and patience over the last few weeks. I can honestly say that Janet would have been totally embarrassed by yesterday's ministrations, but there was no way I was going to let her get away with any of that. Thank you from the whole family.
