Hi! I'm Kate Crouse, owner and founder of  "A Touch of Whimsi". I'm a  licensed, insured and certified  planner and I love what I do!  I love creating, planning, and executing elegant, romantic and stress free weddings. I own the business with my husband Charles, who often  accompanies me on weddings, or at times  leads weddings with one of our assistants.  He brings with him many years in the management field. We serve Knoxville, East Tennessee, GA, NC, SC, FL, AL, etc. We are happy to go wherever your dream location is!


I started planning in 2008, when my daughter Sarah was born. It started with her parties, and I fell in love with the whole process. I had friends and family start asking me to assist with or plan their parties and events, and in that process, "A Touch of Whimsi" was born!


   
 

Hi! I'm Kate












My husband and I planned a small renewal in 2021 with 40 family members and friends. It was a great reminder , that big or small, simple or elegant, it's life's special moments that linger. 

We specialize in planning, design, and  coordination!  What makes me different, is that it's my passion for weddings that drives me, and my attention to detail. Regardless of what package you choose,  we come on board with you immediately and you will always get warm & friendly guidance, support and advice!
