About this vendor
My approach to Wedding Planning and Design is to work with my clients through every step of the planning process; from providing preferred and proven resources, managing a budget, locating the right venue, hiring vendors, suggesting ways to eliminate unnecessary stress, acting as an etiquette coach, helping with the overall timeline as well as a schedule of events for the month, week and day leading up to the wedding. It’s handling all the loose ends and overseeing all things logistics.

Carina was so amazing. We were a covid-postponement wedding with day-of cooridnation services booked in 2019. She was so helpful and flexible throughout the process of postponing a...
nd in the weeks leading up to the "big wedding" that we finally got to have. She shared her expertise and pointed out things that I otherwise would have overlooked, but always in a super respectful and thoughtful way. I had a lot of trust in her opinion and still do! During our wedding, she was ON IT and did such a great job making everything run smoothly. Multiple family members mentioned to me how impressed they were with Carina, and I couldn't agree more. I can only imagine how excellent she would be as a wedding planner and 100% recommend.
I can't say enough amazing things about Carina, she is so talented! She was both our planner and did our florals, and I still think about my florals to this day. She made the entir...
e wedding process so easy for us. She took my vision and made it a reality (we both trusted each other along the way). Our special day was perfect because of her. I can not recommend Carina enough.
Words cannot begin to describe how wonderful it was working with Carina. An expert in every way when it comes to planning and executing your wedding. I had the privilege to work wi...
th Carina for 13 months. Not only did she make me fell comfortable, at ease and have peace about the decisions I was making she also gave her advice when I needed it. She came to my appointments, thought outside the box to make my vision happen and dealt with all logistics. This piece was huge since my venue was a clean slate.
Carina did a phenomenal job on the flow of the day, the design was incredible and my flowers were stunning. She thought through everything and was even prepared when we had an unexpected thunder storm. She was calm, level headed and my guests had the very best time! My flowers were such a statement. She worked with a killer team and every piece was beautiful.
A few things that just made my wedding year even more perfect is the attention to detail Carina has with everything. Also, the relationships she has in the industry made the process of booking other vendors seamless. Having the industry connections and knowledge was incredibly beneficial and allowed for us to have everything on our wish list as well.
Carina, you are exceptional and exude class and excellence in all that you do. Booking you was the best decision we could have made. Thank you for going above and beyond and making my wedding dreams come true. If I could give any brides advice, it would be to book Carina as your wedding planner for your big day. I would recommend you 100 times over. Thank you for blessing us with your elegance, style, and grace throughout the entire process! We are so incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to work with you!
As a fellow wedding industry professional, I've had the pleasure of working with Carina in her capacity as a designer and planner. If I could give her a 6-star rating, I would. She...
is organized, professional, creative, and impeccably tasteful in her designs. She's well-traveled and has plenty of life experience, all of which comes through in her attention-to-detail and professionalism. She also has deep respect for other wedding vendors, and has gifted me and my team with the kind of trust and creative freedom that other wedding planners aren't always capable of (in their desire to micro-manage). As a result, we've thoroughly enjoyed working with her and serving our mutual clients, and Carina's world-class events are proof of the success of her approach. Her meticulous coordination, warmth, and unique personal style set her apart in our industry. Highly recommended!

cial and vintage items for her brides and will graciously lend decor from her personal collection.
Carina was also my florist and I received countless compliments on my wedding flowers. They were abundant and gorgeous. Her signature floral aesthetic is loose, effortless, and romantic.
Carina was very professional and patient. I received a lot of personal attention and she always made time for my questions. Her organization skills are impeccable, and the day went off without a hitch. She was also very respectful of my wedding budget and knew how to maximize it.
I am confident Carina can bring any wedding vision to life. But if you love all things vintage, classic, and fine-art, Carina is the wedding planner for you.
I hired Carina as our florist, day of wedding coordinator and unofficial wedding therapist. Carina was wonderful through every step of wedding planning and went above and beyond. S...
he worked with me on a vision board to create the look I wanted for bouquets, table center pieces and decor for the wedding. Not only did she navigate me through flower choices but she also did it at such an affordable price. Many of the items I needed Carina already had available which made planning so much easier. We ran into a snag with the vines I choose not being ready due to colder temperatures this season. She quickly sent new options and it was in the rearview mirror. She also had a great printer we used to do name cards, welcome sign, schedule, table numbers, menus, etc. They came out beautiful. For rehearsal she did a great job of organizing everyone and pre planning for potential rain the next day. Our ceremony was outside so we needed a back up plan. The day of everything moved so smoothly and if anything unplanned happened I had no idea about it. The space was beautiful, the bouquets were perfect. She also decorated our cake and did an amazing job! Our other vendors loved her so much they asked for her contact info to refer her for other weddings. I couldn't have asked for a better person to help us with our big day!
If you are looking for an incredible wedding planner, look no further. Carina is simply the best! She listens, gives input, and suggests easier options that fit in your budget and ...
lessen stress. She answers emails, texts, and phone calls quickly. She is enthusiastic and truly wants your day to be special. She took my vision of my wedding and made it even better than I could have hoped for. After several phone calls and hearing her suggestions, I felt like I could trust her completely with any extra decorations she added the day of the wedding. She also arranged my flowers and did such a beautiful job! She ran my rehearsal smoothly, answered any questions without hesitation, helped assign duties for anyone helping out, and handled any situation that needed attention quickly. The ceremony went smoothly because she was right there telling everyone where to be and when to walk down the aisle. I truly cannot think of anyone else who could have helped plan and create our dream wedding. She is professional, friendly, kind, and clearly passionate about what she does! It shows through her work! Thank you, Carina! We are SO happy we chose you to help plan our wedding!
Carina is amazing. I hired her to be my florist and day of coordinator but she went above and beyond for a day of coordinator. She was calm and collected and helped make my day bea...

Carina is our favorite wedding planner! Although she is our only wedding planner, we truly cannot be happier with how she handled our big day. She was always professional, engagi...
ng, had great ideas, listened to what we had to say, and ultimately gave us a wedding better than our dreams. Carina adheres to budgets, is a clear communicator, and always presents the best possible outcome. Our wedding would not have been the same without her.
This review is long overdue. My wedding was in August of 2017 and it was absolutely AMAZING, perfect and magical. Everything that Carina did was right on point. Her style is classi...
c, elegant and she is amazing. She is very professional and had a calm about her that helped me very much! There were times when I was very stressed and little did I know that she had everything taken care of. I was a bit indecisive with some things but I was able to show her pictures and we bounced ideas back and forth. Advice for future brides, of course you want everything to be perfect, but try to keep an open mind, a lot of things are not in yours or your wedding planners control, things will happen, just let it go and don’t let it ruin your day. The last thing you want to remember is any bad or negative feelings about your day. I know Carina was very busy that day but she always checked in with me or my family to see how we were doing and if we needed anything. My family loved her and I am so grateful for her help. She has real talent and I’m so happy I picked her to help me for my big day. Thank you so so much Carina! I could not have done it without you.
Carina is awesome! She totally zoomed in our personal tastes and has been a great advocate for us! Best decision we've made!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Carina. She was efficient, organized, helpful, kind, detail-oriented, has impeccable taste. No detail was overlooked on the day of our we...
dding, and she went above, and beyond her call of duty. We primarily used her for the day of, but she offers the full service deal if you are looking for a wedding planner, stylist, florist, etc. Carina handled the details on the day of the wedding and helped keep everything on track. I loved how honest she was when I asked for her opinion, which I felt was important to have. Carina truly cares about her brides and makes you feel like you are planning your wedding with your best friend. My family even loved working with her, and we all agreed she definitely found her calling. Carina's service is worth every single penny!
