Katharine Mann

I’m Katharine, owner and lead wedding planner of Katharine Mann Events located in Winston Salem, North Carolina. I have been in the wedding and event industry for seven years, and I love what I do.

I started Katharine Mann Events in 2016 when I was a junior studying Sports and Event Management at Elon University. Since 2016, I have planned and executed 150+ weddings, worked with some of the top industry leaders in our state, and made the most amazing connections with my clients! To say I am working my dream job is an understatement!

I put a lot of passion and heart behind each wedding, and my hope is my clients feel they are part of the Katharine Mann Events family.

Candace Pierce

Back in August 2022 Candace was a KME bride herself, making it known from day one that weddings were her passion. She and I developed a friendship like no other with the kindred enthusiasm for event planning. As a previous bride, Candace knows the true KME experience and has a dedication and drive to help every client create a truly fanatic and memorable experience with their guests.

Candace joined the KME team in 2023 and has become an incredible asset to our company! She puts her heart and soul into each event and will brighten your day with her big smile. When she is not working with KME clients, you can find her walking her adorable german shepherd named Nash, drinking red wine, and chilling by the pool!
