We hired Karen for our April wedding, and she was amazing. A month before, she contacted us to start putting together a detailed timeline of how the day would run from start to finish. She made sure that all of our vendors knew where to be wh...en, and executed the schedule she had created with grace and humor. I am sure there are so many issues that Karen dealt with that day that I didn’t even know about. I really felt like I could just enjoy the day and be present in it, thanks to Karen taking control of all of the logistics. Karen also handled our rehearsal - she took control and wrangled our people so everyone knew where they had to be when. She also went above and beyond in setting up our centerpieces at our reception, which consisted of old books, a variety of found items, votive candles, and small florals. They looked beautiful and were exactly how we envisioned them.
If you are looking for someone who will execute your vision for your wedding day and make helpful logistical suggestions - but will not try to tell you that you absolutely need a videographer and cascading floral arrangements, or start calling your mom weeks before to tell her you're making horrible planning choices (all things we've heard of planners doing) - then Karen is your girl. She is down-to-earth and she gets it, and she'll make your wedding day go exactly how you want it to.
