“Kathy is a wonderful businesswoman. She has taken her business from the "good" level it existed in for many years before she purchased the company, to the "great" level it is in now. She has accomplished this by a lot of hard work, an appreciation for details, a practical approach to decision making and a dedication to providing the best value for your purchase. She has expanded her brand considerably in a relatively short amount of time and has maintained an extremely high level of quality in all aspects of her business."

“Kathy knows the wedding industry inside and out! She is brilliant to offer her skills in Charleston, and coordinating so much should be stressful, but she pulls it off with confidence and ease.”
Jennifer Norcross, Wedding Officiant

“Kathy Baxley has done a first rate job since taking over the reins at A Wonderful Wedding. The publication had stagnated over the years, and with increased competition it became less visible and therefore less attractive for my advertising dollars. Under her care and expertise, Kathy transformed this into a high quality publication that has risen above many others in the same genre.”
Laura Bright, Director of Marketing, Maverick Southern Kitchens

“Kathy is an extremely responsible and hard working person with a professional "get-it-done" attitude. She gives 100% for her clients, vendors and associates.”
Karen Thompson Senior Account Executive, Sabre Advertising

“Kathy has been a real pleasure to work with. Her prompt follow-up and concern for making sure we were taken care, was greatly appreciated. Thanks again for a job very well done!"
