If I could add even more stars to Karli Spangler events I would! We have now leveraged Karli for 2 daughters weddings and after the first daughter was married we decided we would only pick a date for the second if Karli was open on that day. She is so personal - with the perfect balance of listening to your style and voice but also adding great ideas to bring your vision to life and make the day an expression of the bride and groom. We had the most creative touches that are still being talked about by the guests. And the whole process was fun and without stress. Karli is a fantastic person along with running a great business. We have memories of a lifetime and we cannot thank her enough!

Karli - thank you for everything!!! We are so grateful for you and everything you did for us during the wedding planning process <3
Karli is attentive, organized, creative, and very sweet.
During our nearly two year wedding planning process, Karli kept us on track the entire way. Booking vendors, giving advise, regular touch base meetings, just tip the iceberg of the capabilities that Karli Spangler Events provides.
For our wedding we had a bottom to top buildout, Karli absolutely blew my mind during setup and on wedding day. Her kindness, and ability to keep the the 1000x moving pieces organized with the end result being a beautiful event amazed us. She is a master at her craft. We had the best day of our lives.
You won’t regret hiring Karli as your wedding planner, promise. Thank you again, Karli <3

Karli is the best out there no doubt! She made our day everything and more! All the planning and vision was brought together beautifully and elegantly. Karli was so attentive to Connor and I throughout the planning and the wedding day. No matter where we turned she ensured we had all we needed. Even if it was just a water. The small and big was taken care of. We even had a situation on the morning of the wedding and she handled it with grace and ease. Karli is caring, professional, thorough, and communicates well . She goes above and beyond for her clients!

Karli absolutely shocked us with how incredibly she is at her job. Our wedding couldn’t have been more spectacular. Nothing went wrong, and it was all because Karli and her team went above and beyond in every single way she could. I have lots of friends getting married and many of them were quite disappointed and stressed by the amount of work they had to do for wedding planning despite paying for a planner, and I never could relate to them. Not only did Karli make the planning process extremely easy for us (I was never stressed EVER), but on the week and day of the wedding she made every single one of my family, friends and individuals in the wedding feel calm and prepared. Her energy is indescribable - calm, collected - no matter what issue would come her way. My husband and family and I keep singing her praises, Karli has become a character in our friends lives because of how awesome she was! During the day of the wedding after our ceremony she had two glasses of wine and some food for my husband and I to make sure we got something to eat because we wouldn’t have time later. She checked in on my multiple times, and made sure our guests were super happy. We had the wedding of our wildest dreams and I can’t take any of the credit. You won’t regret having Karli bring your vision to life!

I wish there were more stars than just 5. I still don't accurately have the words for how wonderful Karli is and how she and her team made our wedding day the most magical day of our lives - not just for us, but for our guests too. I had soooo many people message me the next day or week after asking, "who was your wedding planner?" "best wedding ever!" "who was the master mind?!" It was all Karli. Not only did she make me, my husband, my mom, our huge family, and huge wedding party feel seen, heard, and cared for at all times, she also thought of every tiny detail under the sun. From the very beginning, Karli is a calming presence. She has this unique ability to genuinely take all of your stress away. Every meeting we had, I left heard, understood, respected, needs fully met, and happy. I never knew if something didn't go according to plan because she always took care of it. She is gorgeous inside and out and the coolest part- my husband thought she was wonderful too! He was not really involved in the planning process, has been a groomsmen in plenty of weddings and always says, "wedding planners hate the groomsmen, they're rude to us" - sooooo not the case with Karli! The three of us bonded so much and she just immediately understood our vibe. Her eye for detail is unparalleled and she has impeccable taste. Her ability to fully understand your vision, while also being a realist for your budget, but then going above and beyond in delivering is UNREAL. My advice to all brides- let go and let Karli! She will be your saving grace. And on top of that, she will hire the most INCREDIBLE vendors. From cake, to florals, to photography, to band, she just gets it! She is charismatic, fun, dynamic, graceful, and above all, really and truly sees her clients for who they are and how they envision their dream day. I love her so much, I'm so beyond grateful to her - my entire family is obsessed with her and I hope every bride has the same experience I had - one of true joy, hardly any stress, and the wedding day was the best day of my life because of Karli's wise words, "remember, you're their to marry the love of your life, it's about you and him. Let me take care of the rest." Karli did more than take care of the rest. She made a miracle of a day happen. One that me and my husband will cherish for the rest of our lives.

Karli is everything you need in a wedding planner!! She will give you the guidance you need and will not stop until she brings your vision to life. She is always calm and supportive. I trusted her 100% and never once was I disappointed. She also helped me find the perfect vendors for my wedding day! She is wonderful!!

Without a doubt, Karli was the greatest part of our wedding planning process. She made everything incredibly easy, and we heard from many vendors that she was the best planner they had ever worked with. Karli went above and beyond to plan a four day international wedding with Nigerian, Mexican and American concepts. She worked with all of our vendors to make sure our vision came to life and left no detail unturned. Throughout the weekend, she was a calming presence for everybody and made all the guests feel welcomed! I would absolutely recommend her!!!!

So grateful that we made the smart choice to work with Karli! As a very involved Mother of the Bride, I participated in many decisions with my daughter. Karli was so gracious, calm and kind throughout the process. Her depth of experience brought so much confidence to us and it was fully revealed during the wedding day. We were able to just glide through the day and be fully immersed in it all. Karli is an exceptional partner and we HIGHLY recommend her!

Planning a wedding is an exciting and emotional experience. It’s one you hope to look back on with joy and gratitude. For us, it was important that we felt present and positive throughout the process, and after meeting Karli, we had a hunch she was our girl. We were right.
Throughout our entire experience, my husband and I felt heard, held and cared for. She understood our vision and a created a weekend-long experience that was beyond our hopes and dreams. Her kindness, consideration and attention to detail were not only noticed by us and our guests, but also every vendor she brought in to make our weekend so special.
If any of this resonates with you or sounds like what you are looking for, do yourself and your loved ones a favor… hire Karli Spangler!

Working with Karli was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She is a consummate professional with the relationships and expertise to bring a vision to life. Just as important, she brings a friendly, calming presence to every meeting, and most importantly the big day! Working with her and the day itself exceeded our expectations. Hard to imagine what this process would have been like without her and we could not recommend her more highly.

I was blessed to work with such a visionary, professional, and kind event expert. My MIL Sharon said it best when she said “I’ve learned to just trust Karli and say yes. She takes care of the rest” and I couldn’t agree more. Karli is a swan. Graceful in any public or professional setting, but working her ass off under the water to glide easily through the journey. She always greeted me with a smile and was very attentive to our needs, even when we weren’t sure what we needed. Her calm presence and exceptional taste are what sets her apart. But what strikes me the most is how malleable her taste is to your vision. She had coordinated my sister’s wedding and many other acquaintances’ and each was extremely tasteful and reflective of the relationships and families it served.
In my original questionnaire, I told her I wanted my wedding to embody the songs the “windows are rolled down” by Amos Lee and “I like to be with me when I’m with you” by Drew and Ellie Holcomb, the authentic joy of Ted Lasso, and the aesthetic of an intimate dinner in a Nancy Meyers movie. And then I let her fly. She absolutely nailed it.
She gently pushed me to make decisions when I was feeling lazy and just wanted to delegate and I’m very grateful. I can still hear her say in my head “well, it’s really up to you” in a calm and cheery voice whenever we came to crossroads. And she was right. It really was up to Jack and me to make decisions that pushed our wedding to be a fitting reflection of our love for: each other, the destination, and our friends and family. Simply put - Karli held space for us to reflect and didn’t make executive decisions without first pushing us to direct them.
Another notable aspect about Karli is that she is counter culture. In an industry and season of life known for consuming one’s life, she holds boundaries for herself and for you. I remember some people voicing concern that my wedding planner was not constantly available or at my beck-and-call, but the truth is - I never wanted her to be because then it means open season for questions and reaching out in anxious moments about things that seemed big but were truly small. We planned this entire wedding via email and scheduled meetings. It was not until my wedding week that I had her cellphone number. That allowed me to continue my life as it is and maintain perspective. By not having her cell, I had to email or schedule a call - for which she was extremely responsive and available. It was just enough friction for me to reflect on what I was about to send her and whether or not it really mattered. Spoiler alert: it usually didn’t matter. On the flip side of that, it brought me peace to know that she was taking care of herself and her own marriage. You can’t pour from an empty cup. You get a lot of people trying to help you throw a party, forgetting the essential detail that the party is simply a reflection of a life long commitment. Having her model good boundaries in her life and marriage during a season that I’m planning for my own marriage has left a mark on me that will last a lifetime.
If you’re still with me here’s my advice to you - hire Karli and TRUST her. Engage in healthy debate and push me back on the things that matter to you.
Karli gave me a gift that money cannot buy: a joyful, relaxing, and beautiful wedding weekend. The cherished moments of presence and perfection seared into my mind that I can recall when the going gets tough and I need something to cling to.

Karli is the best planner from start to finish! She was so on top of everything leading up to the day and her calm energy was SO appreciated - especially when planning a destination wedding. I had multiple guests come up to me and share that they had never seen such an amazing planner. She was constantly making sure we didn't need anything, that my hair was staying pinned up, making sure my husband had water (!!), and that we were having a great time. I can't recommend her enough!

As one of her longest-running clients (nearly three years!) and amidst a pandemic no-less, we can assuredly and passionately say that Karli is incredible! We could not say enough good things about her. Karli is responsive and attentive, honest, truly commits to prioritizing your own vision, and is genuinely a kind and warm person. Karli was able to execute our lofty vision within our lower budget (which is an underrated quality for a planner) and was so supportive of our dream! We told her, ‘the world is your oyster’, and she definitely delivered! From working with slow-responding international vendors, postponing an international wedding amidst a pandemic, and even last-minute planning a postponement/engagement party on our original wedding date - she is relentless. I also want to say that as the bride and groom, Karli went *above* and beyond on the actual wedding day: I truly felt like she would’ve done anything short of fly to the moon to make sure we had what we wanted and needed that weekend. She was one of our greatest advocates and supporters in our wedding planning process and is genuinely a joy to work with - as is her team! My husband and I have extremely high standards and we undoubtedly know that hiring Karli was one of THE best decisions we made when planning!

I could sing Karli's praises all day long! My wedding was better than I could have ever imagined, and it was all thanks to Karli and her team. She was the easiest person to work with throughout the entire process. She came up with unique, creative, and very elegant ideas that I couldn't have ever dreamed up on my own. Multiple guests have told me that they have never been to a wedding with such perfect attention to detail and that was all thanks to Karli! It was a privilege to have her as our wedding planner!

We are so glad we hired Ivory & Vine and Karli to plan our wedding and we highly recommend her for others. She made our wedding day into more than we could have ever dreamed of. When my husband and I decided we wanted a destination, multi-cultural wedding we knew we needed some help. Having Karli and her team share their vision, shepherd us through the planning process (plus a COVID postponement!), and make sure the day went off without a hitch was invaluable. Thank you so much Karli!

It's been almost 3 months since my wedding and I have seriously not been able to find one thing I wish I did differently! Karli was incredible to work with and delivered the BEST team of vendors! The wedding was above and beyond my wildest dreams and everything I could have asked for. No detail was left to chance and the day ran smoothly. To my knowledge, nothing went wrong and if it did she handled it perfectly and without me knowing. There was nothing for me to do or think about that weekend other than celebrating! Planning was organized, easy, and she delivered a short but mighty list of options that we could easily choose from for each piece of the wedding. We couldn't recommend Karli enough. She was incredible!

I can easily say that my wedding would have not happened if it wasn't for Karli! We didn't make it easy for her either. We decided to have our wedding on family property that was remote and had no power, water, structure, etc. She went above and beyond and brought my vision to life with very little to work with! She is creative, pays attention to details, responsive, flexible and the best in the business! Not only is she a fantastic wedding planner but also an incredible woman. We have developed a friendship that has gone far beyond the wedding. I feel so lucky and thankful that I had the privilege of working with her and her team!

There are not enough amazing things I can say about Karli!!! Hiring her as our wedding planner was hands down the best decision and money well spent. We postponed our wedding due to covid and she could not have been more understanding, empathetic and helpful during the postponement process. I truly could not have done it without her. She handles everything with such grace and has a calmness about her that is SO appreciated and needed during the planning process. She was always very timely with her responses and great to follow up on things. It was like she could read my mind at times and knew exactly what I was looking for in design. She created a beautiful design for our wedding that was everything we could have ever dreamed of! I could go on and on about her professionalism, kind nature and talent. I would book her over and over again!!

BOOK KARLI NOW! You will be the happiest bride because of her. We absolutely adore Karli. My fiancé is a man of few words and has not said much about any vendors except Karli. Numerous times he stated how he would had been lost without Karli the day of the wedding. Our families could not stop bragging about how amazing Karli was and whenever they needed something she was right there, almost like she knew we needed something before we even asked. We worked with Karli for close to two years planning our wedding and she took every single idea, detail and photo we had given her and brought it to life. She was impeccably organized, up front, and gave honest advice. She never pushed a particular vendor, but instead gave her opinion and experience and then supported our decisions. We were not just on time the day of, but ahead of schedule (so rare)! Karli also had so many great ideas/recommendations we would had never thought of. She suggested orchids in some of our florals and every guests complimented how beautiful the design for the day of was, which was all Karli. Karli's suggestion of vendors led to us loving every single person we worked with. Many of our vendors we can now call friends. Because of Karli we were surrounded by vendors who truly wanted our day to be perfect and were genuinely excited to be a part of our day. Karli will not just be the best wedding planner you have, she will become a friend. Karli, thank you for all you have done for us and giving us the best day ever!

I can't say enough amazing things about Karli. We hired her on as a planner about a year in advance of our wedding set for April 2020. Of course, we eventually had to make the decision to postpone to September. It was hard, but Karli was so sweet, supportive and calming throughout it all. I had the dream of turning our family property into a venue and Karli's attitude was: it can easily be done! no stress! from the very beginning. It was tough logistically but we felt confident having Karli there. We made it happen and everything turned out so personalized, special and beautiful. I can truly say Karli became a friend during this experience. Her calming, sweet personality is what makes her so perfect for this profession.
Hire her as your planner. It'll be the best thing you do for yourself!!

Ivory & Vine Event Co. was easily the best decision we made for our 10/3/20 wedding! Karli is so organized, so professional and has the biggest heart. We completely trusted her throughout the planning process and our day could not have turned out any more perfect. She took the time to get to know us as a couple, understand our style and provided beautiful ideas to compliment our vision. She connected us with the best vendors that would couldn't have been happier with. While planning a wedding throughout 2020 served some unique challenges, Karli remained calm, professional, honest and had creative solutions for every "bump in the road." Karli and her team executed the wedding day flawlessly with such grace and is exactly who you would want leading you wedding day. Not only is Karli one of the hardest working people I've come across, she is a pure joy to work with and we had so much fun!!!

Extraordinary is one word to describe Karli. She helped plan our wedding, not once but twice. We booked partial planning with her and got married on 10.25.20 at the Nasher Sculpture Center. It was the most beautiful day ever. We did not have to worry about a single thing. Everything was seamless and everyone loved her! She is so kind but in control. She will do anything in her control to ensure the bride and groom are enjoying their special day. In addition to having a one of a kind personality, she is extremely talented. She took ideas of what I wanted our special day to look like and ran with it. We received so many compliments on the details of our wedding. I would recommend Karli and Ivory & Vine Event Co. for any event! You will not be disappointed. Karli, we can’t say thank you enough! We hope to reunite at a later date! We appreciate and love you, The Thorntons.

We don't even know where to begin - Karli was an AMAZING wedding planner! We had to postpone our wedding in March due to COVID-19, and she guided us through the emotional roller coaster with planning our 2nd wedding. Even though we only had her for month-of-planning; she assisted with executing new vendor contracts, answered emails after hours, and continuously had a positive energy during these times of uncertainty. She helped us plan the wedding of our dreams on 11.22.2020 - it was STUNNING! We enjoyed every moment of our special day and we could not imagined a more beautiful event. We received so many compliments from family, friends, and our wedding party of how flawless Karli's team was on our wedding day. Karli is an angel, and we are so happy that we chose Ivory & Event Co. as our wedding planner. We love you, Karli!

Karli was so great to work with during our entire planning process. When I interviewed Karli, I remember getting off the phone and being SO excited to have met the perfect planner for my big day, and she did not disappoint! I had a relatively good idea of what I wanted my design to be, but Karli helped me bring my vision to life and it looked amazing! Although I did not have to postpone my wedding, I know Karli had a lot of replanning with other brides and families going on in the background, and she was always kind, responsive, and handled herself with grace. For the day of the wedding, Sara was our coordinator and I did not have to lift a finger - she was amazing and so positive during the entire day! We have received so many compliments from our wedding party and family on how amazing Karli’s team was on our wedding day and we are so happy we chose Ivory & Vine!

There aren’t enough words to describe how outstanding Karli is! She originally planned our “first” wedding in Texas for April 2020. Even though we don’t live in Texas, she made everything possible through emails, zoom calls, and texts. The pandemic caused us to not only postpone our wedding, but plan an entirely new one in Rhode Island… which Karli did in less than FOUR months! Throughout the whole process, she was graceful, professional, and truly made wedding planning both fun and effortless – both times! On the day of our much-awaited wedding, she made sure everything went off without a hitch and we didn’t have to lift a finger. We enjoyed every moment of our big day, and we could not have imagined a more beautiful event. Karli is truly a god-send, and we could not recommend her more to anyone looking for a caring, dedicated, and professional wedding planner.

Wow. I could spend hours writing this review. Karli was hired for our wedding planning, and even though I had extremely high expectations for my coordinator, she went above and beyond anything I could have ever asked for. She took care of everything, and made sure we were taken care of. Planning a wedding during a pandemic is probably one of the hardest things I have ever done, and she made it look so easy. I will never hire another planner for any future events. She is seriously the best there is.

Karli was hired by my son and daughter in law, for their wedding in Texas and continued to work with them during the planning of wedding that took place at my home in New England las week. I reached out to Karli a few times panicking about Covid and the guidelines that needed to be followed. Karli was so calm and was prepared to go to Plan B and C. She arrived at our home coordinated all of the vendors, tent set up, catering set up, flowers , tables settings she truly did it all and was incredibly organized and professional. The event was amazing and beautiful and Karli really did make it a perfect day. Thank you Karli i will pass your name on to anyone looking for a wedding coordinator even in Rhode Island.

Being in the events industry, I’ve worked with my fair share of wedding planners! Karli is a standout among them. She’s not one of those planners that has a “signature” look to her weddings, because each one is so unique; she designs her weddings around her couples’ vision and creates something truly unforgettable!
More than her impeccable design skills, Karli is also super organized! Her vendor teams never have to ask for anything, because she gives us what we need before we need it! Her floor plans and timelines are perfection with every minute accounted for and no room for confusion.
Karli is such a great planner to have in your corner- she knows the best vendors around and has great relationships with them all; she’s a prompt communicator, a problem solver, a creative designer, and just a lovely human. I would recommend Karli (already have, in fact!) to friends and colleagues looking for a wedding planner!

Karli helped us plan my daughter's wedding in Dallas. As my daughter and her fiance had just moved to Dallas a few months before, and I live in another state, it was, in essence, a destination wedding. We had no idea where to start. Karli started with our budget and helped us stay on target with vendor suggestions that fit our budget and style. The day of the wedding went off without a hitch. Karli and her assistants kept everything well organized and moving smoothly. I had no worries on the day of the wedding. I just had to be ready when they needed me and enjoy friends and family at the wedding and reception! Karli was a calming influence for all. Enlisting Karli to help us with the wedding was one of the best decisions that we made and I recommend her highly!

Karli and her team did a fabulous job on our wedding day! Any issues that came up were discretely and swiftly handled. My guests had such a great time and truly enjoyed themselves. Every moment of the wedding felt magical and it was better than anything I could have ever envisioned or done on my own. If I ever had a question during the planning process, Karli was quick to respond and was so sweet and great to work with! I would 10/10 recommend Ivory & Vine to any of my friends who get married in the future if they want a beautiful and seamless wedding day.

Karli was absolutely amazing throughout the entire planning process and day of!! Our wedding day would not have been the same without her. From the beginning she was kind, professional, and so helpful. Karli helped connect us with the best vendors in DFW to help make our dream wedding come true. All of the tasks that go into planning a wedding can be very overwhelming, but Karli guided us throughout the process from a professionals point of view. She gave such great advice, but still made sure what we wanted was the focus. Since she knew our vendors so well, the whole process was seamless. We originally were debating even hiring a wedding planner, but now I cannot imagine getting through the process without Karli. She helped make the wedding process much easier for my mom and I.
On the day of Karli paid attention to EVERY detail big or small. The reception space that she designed was so beautiful and she helped make our personal touches stand out. At the end of the night our bags were packed in the limo along with dinner and wedding cake for us to enjoy later. My mom and I didn't even have to lift a finger, her team took care of everything for us! A giant rainstorm blowed through the entire afternoon, and she helped ease all of our concerns and was ready to adjust as needed. We had SO many guests tell us how smooth everything went and how much fun they had! I truly don't think it would have been this way without a wedding planner like Karli. We got to truly enjoy every second of our wedding day. Thank you SO SO much!!!

Out of all of the decisions we had to make for our wedding, Karli was definitely the best one. Her input and contribution was invaluable. She helped make the wedding planning process go so smoothly and managed the timeline so well! Her calm and collected demeanor was the exact same during the wedding planning process as the day-of, which made a huge difference in keeping my stress levels down the day of the wedding.
Karli made me feel like I was her only client, even while she was planning her own wedding at the same time! Never once did she confuse my wedding and aesthetic for another one of her clients. Although our engagement was a year and a half, we hit the ground running and we exchanged emails on a weekly basis (at least) during the entire process. Her ability to stay extremely organized and follow up on every small detail made her indispensable.
There are truly not enough kind words to say about her and her team. Best wedding planner, hands down. Thank you so much, Karli!

To start, Karli is absolutely the BEST decision I ever made for my wedding. Honestly, my wedding would NEVER have been as amazing and beautiful as it was if it weren’t for Karli’s incredible eye for design and skill. She truly went above and beyond in every single aspect. We decided to book Karli for the full service wedding planning and design services, and I can honestly say I would never have it any other way. I knew from the moment I met Karli that my wedding would be perfect. And it was just that - PERFECT. Choosing the full service option was extremely worth it and most definitely the best decision I could have made. Karli was kind, caring, professional, proactive, organized, reliable, knowledgeable, consistent and I could not have asked for anything more. I could go on and on about just how great it was working with her, simply the best. I can honestly say that Karli thought of everything. Every single tiny little detail, Karli had already planned and organized for - from vendors, to logistics, to design, just EVERYTHING. Her attention to detail was phenomenal – she really did capture my vision better than I could have ever imagined. Additionally, Karli made me feel as if I was the ONLY bride she was working with. She gave me undivided attention and was there for my millions of questions and worries. On my wedding day, I never worried about one single thing because I knew Karli had everything handled to perfection. I received hundreds of compliments from family, friends, guests, and everyone was blown away and it was by far because of Karli and her amazing team at Ivory and Vine Event Co. My day was beyond magical, a dream come true. If you choose Karli, know that you will be working with someone that is truly SO special. Her hard work, dedication, passion and talent are unmatched. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU times a million Karli, I am so lucky to have worked with you, you are extraordinary!

Let me start by saying, as someone who thought, "Oh I don't need a wedding planner" Karli thought of SOOO MANY little details I would have completely over looked!
SHE IS AMAZING! I could list a million adjectives to describe the professionalism, personableness, kindness and thoughtfulness that Karli brought to the table for our wedding! She is on top of her game the ENTIRE time you work with her. She has an amazing program that allows you to "check off" what you have completed and what needs to be completed still, organize your seating chart (upload your guest list). She worked 1 on 1 with all of our other vendors which took a TREMENDOUS load off my plate and my families plate while planning some of the smaller details.
On our wedding day she made sure all the vendors set up in the correct spot at the correct time, she worked with the groom's party to make sure they were on time getting ready with pictures and lining up for the ceremony as well as the bridal party. She made sure we got to EAT! SO IMPORTANT! Honestly, we would have not probably if it wasn't for Karli, she got us our plates, and stood in front of our table to make sure we ate before we got up and talked to anyone so we wouldn't starve!
Karli is a 10/10 for sure! She works above and beyond to make the process SO EASY and STRESS FREE for the bride and everyone involved! She really feels like you're just working with your best friend! We loved her and everyone in our wedding even said she was so helpful and awesome!

Working with Karli is like having a Fairy Godmother who takes all of our ideas you've dreamed up, and makes them into a reality more magical than you could ever imagine. I never once felt stressed from the wedding, because I could really trust that the Ivory & Vine Event Co. team would go above and beyond to make my wedding day perfect. The whole reason I chose to get a wedding planner was because I had some wedding elements I knew I had to have, but was unfamiliar with dealing with vendors and the multitude of questions they had. I trusted Karli so much, I did not even have to meet with all my vendors in person because she would. There was always great communication, organization, and my wedding day was perfect thanks to her and her team. Thank you,Ivory and Vine, Co, for the best day of my life!

We were looking for a day-of coordinator for our wedding and our venue (Hickory Street Annex) recommended Karli to us. Karli ended up being our month-of coordinator. Honestly, it was the best decision we made and was totally worth it! Karli took over all vendor communications that last month and helped me with the last few (but super important) things on my checklist. She was so organized and made the last month of wedding planning totally stress free. Knowing that Karli was going to be there the day of the wedding reception was a huge load off my shoulders. She took care of all the set up at the venue, directing the vendors, making sure we were keeping to the timeline and most importantly that my husband and I were fed! She checked on us throughout the night and made sure we were never without a drink :) Thanks to Karli, we were able to enjoy and relax and spend time with our guests instead of having to worry about all the little details. She was truly amazing and her support in the last month of wedding planning was exactly what I needed!

I wish I could give Karli 10 stars! We booked Karli as our month of coordinator and it was the best decision we made in our entire wedding planning process!!! She completely alleviated any and all final planning stress and went above and beyond for us. She tremendously exceeded all of our expectations! She not only takes care of vendor coordination and final detail planning, but she puts her heart and soul into every wedding she plans as if it were her own. On top of handing every detail with the vendors and last minute bookings, she made our wedding day especially memorable! She was by my side every step of the way from getting ready to getting into the getaway car with a plate full of food. She not only took care of me, but my groom, our parents, grandparents, and wedding party! She was so organized, professional, calming, and has so much experience to be able to adapt to any situation imaginable. She was so much more than just a month of coordinator to me. She genuinely invests into each and every one of her brides and I am so honored to call her my friend. Our wedding would have definitely not been the same without Karli and her team. To any bride getting married, I HIGHLY recommend investing in Karli as I cannot say enough good words about her and her work!!

Karli and her team made my day go by smoothly! I know that we could not have done it without them. I can honestly say that even if you do a month-of package, as I did, it is without a doubt worth it. I can't imagine how the month/day would have gone without Karli. I am so thankful that we were able to have her during this exciting time in our lives!

I'm a wedding vendor and have seen a lot of coordinators work, but I've never seen one work with as much peace as Karli Jones. Incredibly professional before the event, and deeply calming during. I was beyond impressed with her.

I don't even know where to begin! Karli was simply amazing! She was my angel is disguise! Not only was I a bride trying to plan a destination wedding, but I was also a military bride with my fiancé deployed half way across the world. Needless to say, I needed a lot of guidance. She jumped in with 2 feet, full speed ahead to help me with every last detail. Not only did she find my wedding venue, arrange travel, hire vendors, organize contracts and make sure payments were made on time, but she designed my dream wedding at the same time! Her rolodex of contacts is top notch. She has experience with so many vendors that she can make the best recommendations based on each unique couple's style and budget. Without her input, I would not have been able to decide on a photographer, rehearsal dinner spot or day-of hair/makeup. Karli's eye for design and detail is what sets her apart. Her work is simply breathtaking. She designed everything from our floral semi-circular altar used at the ceremony to the reception tablescape. She thought of things that I didn't! And details that I am so thankful she paid attention to (hello beautiful gold rimmed glasses!). She truly pours her heart and soul into every wedding she does. Karli genuinely cares about her couples and goes above and beyond whatever is asked. She may be your wedding planner at first, but she will end up a friend by the end. Karli came with me to my hair/makeup trial (because who doesn't need a girlfriend's opinion!) and helped with my wedding dress selection. She calmed me down after a (many) worrisome/frantic bride moment. I give all the credit to Karli for my wedding running as smoothly and perfectly as it did. When it comes to your wedding day, Karli is prepared for it all. Needing a steamer? She's got it. And even helped me steam my wedding dress. Needing a pep talk because your nerves got the best of you? She is there to give you a hug and tell you it's all going to be just perfect. Need hair spray RIGHT before you walk down the aisle? She's got it. Bridesmaid rip their dress on the way to the wedding venue? No problem, she's awaiting with safety pins. I cannot put into words how much I appreciate Karli and all her hard work. I truly cannot thank her enough. I would recommend her a hundred times over!

We did month of coordination for our wedding and I'm so happy we did! Karli was very knowledgeable and helpful leading up to the big day. She really went above and beyond for us! She transported welcome bags to our rehearsal dinner, created signage for the bar, and made a beautiful display board for our escort cards. She made sure our wedding day went smoothly and helped to fix a couple problems as well! My family, my husband, and myself were truly able to enjoy the day because Karli was behind the scenes taking care of everything professionally and discreetly! I can’t say enough about the truly amazing service she provided! And my only regret is that I didn't have her services for the entire wedding planning process from day one!

At least once a week, my husband and I talk about how our wedding day was the best day of our lives. And even now, three months after our wedding day, I *still* have friends that text me about how much they loved our wedding. Yes, of course it was great because family/friends were there, my husband and I love each other and were excited to marry each other, etc etc - but in all honesty, I am 100% positive that day was as memorable as it was because of the genius and wonder that is Karli Jones. We could not have, in any form or fashion, pulled off our day without her and her team.
As I attempted to jump into wedding planning, I had spoken to a few other potential wedding planners that I felt so-so about. Wasn't really vibin' with anyone. But when I spoke to Karli, I immediately wanted to book with her. I could tell she was professional and experienced and all the good things a vendor should be - but the biggest thing for me was that I felt like I was talking to a friend. My fiance (now husband hehehe) had stressed to me that he wanted me to book someone I felt comfortable with and Karli was IT!
Our short timeline was not intimidating to her at ALL (engaged mid-July, planned to marry mid-November) and she quickly dove into making things happen for us. Because of Karli, our wedding was:
-STRESS-FREE. Guys, I did three things that day: 1) get pretty, 2) get married, 3) dance my face off.
-ORGANIZED. Nobody ran around asking what they were supposed to be doing or where they were supposed to go. Karli had it on LOCK.
-FUN, DELICIOUS, AND BEAUTIFUL AF. Y'all, I didn't have to deal with any vendors unless I wanted to. She handled all the logistics, talking, negotiating, renegotiating. We just had to pick out our food and make a list of songs that must be played! It also made me itchy thinking about how to make the wedding look "pretty". Karli took care of all that. She legit just researched everything for me (linens, flowers, decor, oh my!) and showed me 3 options and I would point at the one I liked. #mykindofplanning
So anyway, I can't wax poetic enough about this woman. Choose her. Love her. You won't regret it. Because I sure don't! #NORAGRETS

We couldn't have made our wedding everything that it was without the lovely Karli Jones. She was so helpful, consistent, and reliable throughout the entire planning process. On our wedding day she kept all of our vendors on schedule and even assisted me when I had issues with my dress or my hair. We are so pleased with all of her hard work and dedication. Karli really listens to what you want and makes it happen! She is positive, energetic and in the face of any mishaps, she remains cool and collected. She is exactly who you want by your side when planning your special day! Now that our wedding has come and gone, we miss her dearly!

Karli, owner and planner of Ivory & Vine, is every bride’s dream come true. She helped exponentially in the preliminary process, but the day of the wedding was INCREDIBLE. She made the day run so smoothly. No one in my family had to worry about a thing, except enjoy and take in the day. She also made sure my husband and I ate well at our reception, always had a drink in hand and even packed cake to take with us that night. I would recommend her services without any reservation! After our wedding she even sent us a sweet gift!

Karli was amazing from beginning to end. She made sure our day was everything we could have hoped for, and on the day itself we didn’t have to worry about anything. Everything went smoothly and it was honestly the best day of our lives thus far. She is very very patient and great to work with. My husband and I did not have the easiest schedules to work with, and we were also coordinating from out of town, which made her job that much more difficult. We would recommend her to anyone.

As father-of-the bride, I want to thank Karli and the team at Ivory and Vine Event Co. The wedding, the day, the weekend, the engagement were perfect due to the involvement of Karli and team.
With Karli being a referral of a friend, my daughter got lucky and didn't have to take the chance and go through the interview process. While Karli had all the contacts and suggestions that you'd expect a planner to have, she was most instrumental in establishing a timeline and keeping my daughter calm, cool, and enjoying the experience from 10 months out to midnight of her wedding day. Karli took emails/calls from many of us so all our questions were answered before they became concerns.
I fully realize we were very fortunate to find/secure Karli for our big day. I also know that it was extra special and stress-free due to Karli's involvement. On the wedding day (game-day), she was in such control I think she's done hundreds of these.
Karli, you're not only Best in Class but you are First in Class from my standpoint. I recommend you with no hesitation whatsoever!
THANK YOU!

Karli was extraordinary. As a groom, knowing the nitty gritty details of a wedding are not common knowledge. I wasn't aware of half of the things we ended up having to schedule or plan for. Karli and her team are extremely detail oriented and had us thinking about certain details early on to avoid being stressed about it them closer to the wedding. I can honestly say that I did not feel one ounce of stress during the planning process and it is 100% because of Karli and her team. She is worth every last penny and more!

Every time I think of Karli and her team, one word comes to mind - THANKUL!!! And yes, all caps on that! Booking Karli was by far the best decision I made when it came to our wedding. I had so many people try to talk me out of booking a wedding planner (including my Dad and fiancé), but I did it anyway. And wow, I am so glad I did! After the wedding, every single person in my family and friend group could not stop talking about the spectacular job Karli and her team did! Every little detail was taken care of and I had nothing to worry about. Even other vendors of mine told me that Karli was more organized and knowledgeable than other wedding planners they've worked with that have been in the industry for 15+ years!
I care way too much about my corporate job, so I wasn't the most timely in my email responses about important wedding items, but Karli was always the most sincere and patient person with me - always making sure everything got done. I have more of a type A personality, so I like to know everything that is going on, and Karli helped calm my nerves about anything unexpected and always handled it. I remember on the day of my wedding I didn't have a care in the world because I KNEW Karli was going to make it perfect. If something happened, I had no idea!
It was truly the best day, and I can honestly say it would not have been perfect without Karli. If you are even questioning it, don't! Best decision we ever made!

I have nothing but amazing things to say about our experience with Ivory & Vine. Karli and her team were professional in every step of the wedding planning process. We had a destination wedding so I was terrified of the logistics, but Karli was disciplined and thoughtful to made sure our weekend flowed smoothly for all the guests. She was able to get creative to ensure our budget wasn't stretched beyond its bounds. Her organization and attention to detail was impressive and she made sure that nothing was overlooked. Hiring Karli as our wedding planner was the best decision of our engagement and we could not have been happier with the result. THANK YOU IVORY & VINE!

Karli was so amazing to work with!! I would absolutely recommend her to any bride. I chose to do the "month of" package to save some money, but in hindsight, I really wish I had done the full planning package. Karli is very professional and organized. She helped keep us on track with to-do lists and helped answer questions/provided recommendations when we didn't know what we were doing :) She also didn't hesitate to solve any problems we had with vendors in the weeks leading up to the wedding... and it seems like this can happen often in the wedding industry. On the wedding day Karli was so kind to everyone in my family and the wedding party. People even commented to me on how great of a job she was doing, which made me feel even better about hiring her. And she obviously made sure everything ran smoothly so that my mom and I didn't have to worry about anything. Everything turned out even better than we had hoped for!
Thank you for everything Karli!!

Ivory and Vine did month-of coordination for my wedding.
Karli was incredible to work with! Not only was she extremely professional and on top of every single detail, but she was genuinely fun to work with and made me feel at ease during our month-of coordination. I was so impressed at her ability to juggle all the moving pieces of our venues and vendors without me having to intervene at all. She also went above and beyond and took on all the last minute details, deliveries, and changes that took so much stress off of me. My only wish is that we hired her to do more than month-of coordination!
Karli and her team also were so kind to my guests while still ensuring every event at the reception was done in a timely manner. I would highly recommend Karli and her team. Ivory and Vine made planning my wedding stress-free and fun because I knew every detail would all be handled, and it was.
You can trust Ivory and Vine and feel to handle everything giving you the chance to actually enjoy this experience. Definitely worth it!

Booking Karli is hands down the best decision we made while wedding planning. She is professional, punctual, personable, and offered the best advice! She went above and beyond for me, my groom, my parents, and even our extended family. We hired her as our month of coordinator and she completely alleviated all of the stressful coordination from me and my family the month leading up to our big day - we are so so appreciative. She is truly so excited about every wedding she plans. It is such a refreshing spirit and makes you feel like the only wedding that matters!
BONUS: It's common knowledge that a bride and groom don't eat on their wedding day but thanks to Karli my groom and I were STUFFED when we got back to our hotel after our reception because she worked a moment in our timeline for us to chow down away from any of the guests without missing a thing. Boxes of leftovers were also graciously put in the trunk of our getaway car.

Karli Jones is the best!!! Weddings are stressful for participants and parents and Karli and her associates took the ball and ran with it. She worked 24/7, and took over the preparations for the wedding... transportation, reception, everything. It went so smoothly. I would recommend her and her company for anyone wanting a wedding planner that is organized, knowledgeable, efficient, with a very pleasant personality and demeanor.

I couldn't say enough wonderful things about Karli and her crew! She took the stress out of having and planning for a wedding. She's incredibly detail oriented which I really appreciate and is very thoughtful about all the details. When faced with what could have been endless choices with table linens, cake vendors, photographers, etc., she helped narrow them down for me which made the selection process very easy and stress-free. Our wedding wouldn't have been as wonderful and beautiful as it was had we not hired her as our planner. She provided incredible value for her services and what's even better is I gained a new friend in her through the process. If you are considering who to hire as your planner, look no further, you have found the best in Dallas that will over deliver in so many ways!
