Words cannot adequately describe how phenomenal Karli was as our wedding coordinator and planner. From the moment we first met her, we knew we were in the best hands. Her professio...

She meticulously planned every detail, ensuring that nothing was overlooked. Her organizational skills are unparalleled, and she managed every aspect of our wedding with grace and precision. On the day itself, everything flowed seamlessly, thanks to her expert coordination. What truly sets Karli apart is her ability to bring a vision to life. She took our ideas and transformed them into a beautiful, cohesive reality that exceeded our wildest dreams. Her creativity and insight were invaluable, and her suggestions always enhanced our plans. Karli’s calm and reassuring presence was a constant source of comfort, making the entire planning process enjoyable and stress-free.Our guests were in awe of how smoothly everything ran, and we owe it all to Karli. Her dedication and hard work ensured that our special day was not only beautiful but also unforgettable. If you're looking for a wedding coordinator and planner who will go above and beyond to make your wedding day extraordinary, look no further than Karli. She is simply the best! She is also terrific at handling wedding issues that should arise! We ended up having 2 dresses with stuck zippers that broke on us and she was able to handle the situation with such care and ease and found a resolution in no time! We adore Karli and are so grateful for her!!!

We talked Karli first and then spoke to several other planners/coordinators in the area and we came back to Karli and Ecklectic Events for a reason. The comfortability we felt with...

her was unmatched. Boy did it pay off, from the very beginning of the process through the end of our wedding they had meticulous details and advice to help us make our wedding the best it could be. Karli and Kenzie were amazing and made sure nothing was missed including things I would have never thought about. Don’t waste time like I did, book Ecklectic Events.

Karli and her team are the embodiment of professionalism, organization, and calm in the middle of a storm. Karli was there with me and my husband from the final walk through with o...

ur venue to the very end of our wedding. She helped advocate for me when I didn't feel like I could speak up for myself. If there was ever an issue, I (the bride) didn't know about it and Karli handled everything. There were also zero issues other than a flower wall that wasn't cooperating because Karli made sure that everyone and everything was in its place well before the event began. The peace of mind that came with trusting Karli and her team was life changing. My husband and I got to enjoy our wedding 100% stress free and the night was absolutely PERFECT!!! If you are getting married, I HIGHLY recommend Karli to help keep your wedding perfect and stress free. Karli also got photos of our wedding which we cherished for 2 months before our wedding photographer even graced us with a preview of our photos. It is the little things like these photos that Karli is already thinking of for you without you even having to ask.

The Best Decision We Made for Our Wedding! Hiring Ecklectic Events was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, Karli stood out she responded qu...

ickly when we first started looking for a planner and went above and beyond to answer all our questions even before we officially signed a contract. That level of care and professionalism made us feel so confident and supported right away. Our wedding at The White Room in St. Augustine was everything we dreamed of and more. Karli was calm, organized, and always one step ahead, handling every little detail behind the scenes so we could just enjoy our day. One of my biggest requests was wanting to see the ballroom before our guests entered, and Karli made sure it happened. Walking into that space and seeing how beautifully she brought our vision to life was such a special, emotional moment. We also wanted to do something different and skip the traditional first dance instead, we did a first game of Mario Kart, and Karli fully supported our idea! She helped make sure everything went smoothly, and it ended up being such a fun, memorable highlight of the night. Our guests loved it, and it felt so true to us as a couple. Karli truly went above and beyond for us every detail was perfect, the timeline ran seamlessly, and she made us feel completely taken care of from start to finish. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely loves what they do and will make your day unforgettable, I highly recommend Ecklectic Events. Thank you, Karli, for making our wedding day absolutely magical and authentically “us”! 💍✨

tion. she put me at ease as I was going through my rehearsal dinner and wedding day planning. It was her number one priority as a business owner and wedding planner.. Prior to our wedding day, Karli was always there to support me at any given time. Communication was one of the biggest pieces that I was looking for in wedding planner and she absolutely superseded my expectations.. Karli made me feel like I was the only bride she was working with…. Meaning her customer service and helping me through the process was excellent!! Karli’s professionalism, attention to detail, exceptional service and highly effective communication made our wedding day, the most memorable and beyond. I highly recommend Karli who also happens to be the business owner of this company. She IS your Saint Augustine‘s wedding planner of choice.!!!

We got to work with Karli for our wedding at the Lightner Museum in St. Augustine. She was an absolute pleasure to work with, and I honestly wish I got to work with her a little lo...

nger because she was such a joy to be around. My situation was a little odd because I was in Japan during the first 6 months of the planning process, yet Karli was extremely flexible and helpful despite being in completely opposite time zones. In regards to working with the Lightner staff, she and Genevieve were an unstoppable pair, and they both kept my wedding running smoothly. I cannot praise or recommend Karli enough.

We cannot say enough nice things about Karli. She really went over the top to listen to our wants/needs and helped us every step of the way. She was tactful with the way she would ...

make suggestions and always made sure we were happy. Our rehearsal and wedding day were so smooth with her by our side. I would recommend Karli to everyone, with my eyes closed! She was sweet and patient with our family at rehearsal, she was ultra organized with the timeline on wedding day, and she let us enjoy our day completely. Not once did she bother us on wedding day. She made decisions that were in our best interest and was so calm, cool and collected that it gave everyone peace of mind. Karli- we truly can’t thank you enough for the incredible help on our special day. Without you so many of my wedding day dreams wouldn’t have come to reality. Your kindness was so infectious and you really listed to us and made sure our day was special. Thank you soooo much!!! - Sincerely, The Bernals

re traveling into Florida for the wedding. Karli kept in constant contact with me and make me feel so calm and at ease. She kept in contact with all our vendors and made the day incredibly smooth! Even in the wedding prep stages, she would reach out to vendors for me and offered to meet with the vendors in person since I live about 3 hours away from St. Augustine. Did I mention that we just hired her to be our day of coordinator? She went above and beyond to make our day special and we will never forget it.
