I only have fantastic things to say about Katya and the team at Karma Goddess.
From the very first conversation, Katya was incredibly responsive and so easy to talk to. Planning ...
a wedding can feel overwhelming, but she made every step feel manageable and even fun. She genuinely became someone I looked forward to chatting with throughout the whole process.
What really set Katya apart was that she was always in our corner. We had a difficult vendor situation, and she stepped in to handle the hard conversations without us ever having to stress about it. She also walked us through whatâs standard in the industry so we always felt informed and empowered â never taken advantage of.
Her level of organization is honestly something to behold. Every detail, every timeline, every moving piece was accounted for. With weddings, there are so many things that can slip through the cracks, and nothing did. That organization gave us the peace of mind to actually enjoy our engagement rather than drown in logistics.
On the day itself, I had complete confidence everything would go smoothly â and it absolutely did. A huge shoutout also to Katyaâs support, Anika, who was very helpful on the night of the wedding. We got to be fully present and soak in every moment because we knew the two of them had everything handled behind the scenes.
My partner and I had done most of the planning for our 2 day Indian/American wedding, but we wanted a coordinator to ensure that all the logistics went smoothly and allowed us to r...
elax and enjoy the day. We found Vanessa, booked her Blissful Bride package, and the experience ended up being everything we wanted and more!
Vanessa took the time to really understand all the nuances of our fusion wedding. In the run up to the events, she was incredibly helpful at ironing out timelines, insurance, and other questions we hadn't even realized we needed to answer. When the wedding rolled around, we were able to completely empty our brains of the logistics and just enjoy the moment - Vanessa kept everything perfectly organized. She and her team were so incredibly kind and helpful on the day of. If our families needed anything, someone was there to help them with it. The whole team went above and beyond.
Vanessa was compassionate, calming, and incredibly efficient throughout. I really can't recommend her enough!
Katya did an exceptional job planning our 2 weddings. I have no idea how it would have all come together without her devoted planning and efforts. She was incredibly organized, she...
had a spreadsheet and dates for everything to keep me on track. I trusted her to make a lot of big decisions because she has so much experience and it turned out better than I could have imagined. I am not the friend who is telling all rhe newly engaged girls that they need a wedding planner! I have already referred Kat to a few friends of mine. Having Kat and Vanessa there on the day of my wedding really put my mind at ease and any little thing that came up they quickly and quietly took care of. I cant recommend Katya's services enough. THANK YOU!!!
Katya is EXCEPTIONAL! She was with me every single step of the way to make my dream day come to life. She was there to answer any questions, offer recommendations, and just provide...
support in any way I needed it! The planning process was seamless because of her. The day of was absolute perfection! Katya and Vanessa were SO prepared and SO organized. They took care of everything! I canât say enough good things about them and their services. If you need a wedding planner, your search is done! Call Katya ASAP.Â
Words can't fully express how grateful we are to our wedding planner, Vanessa, and her incredible team, Karma Goddess. From the very first meeting to the night of our wedding, they...
were nothing short of extraordinary.
Vanessa, I do not even know where to begin. She was organized, intuitive, and an absolute joy to work with. She truly listened to what we wanted, anticipated needs we didnât even know we had, and handled every single detail with professionalism and creativity. No request was too big or small â and she handled everything with grace and confidence that instantly put us at ease.
Her team? Incredible. Every member of her staff was warm, helpful, and fully invested in making our day perfect. The timeline ran flawlessly, vendors were seamlessly coordinated, and the entire day flowed with such ease that we were actually able to be present and enjoy every moment â something we owe entirely to their expertise.
Our guests are still raving about how beautiful, personal, and well-executed everything was. We had our dream wedding, and itâs because we had the dream team. If youâre looking for someone who will care about your day as much as you do, look no further. Hiring Karma Goddess was one of the best decisions we made and worth EVERY SINGLE PENNY! They truly made me feel like I was the only bride in the entire world.
Forever grateful,
Natalie and Nicholas Pasley
Vanessa, Kat and the rest of the Karma Goddess team were absolutely incredible in planning our 5 event wedding across three days and multiple venues. Vanessa was a true partner thr...
oughout the wedding planning process and was incredibly patient, attentive and kind throughout (even indulging in my last minute reception design change!). Vanessa's knowledge and connections in South Florida were truly an asset throughout the planning process. I'd recommend Vanessa to anyone planning a wedding - big or small - and will miss our weekly sessions!
There are not enough words to express how incredible Vanessa and her team at KarmaGoddess are! My wedding weekend far exceeded expectations and would not have been possible without...
Vanessa. With her extensive experience in the industry, Vanessa takes wedding planning to another level- she has the timeline nailed down to a tee and has such fantastic relationships with top tier vendors, that you cannot go wrong. She has truly seen it all and is prepared for everything (i.e., groomsmen forgetting tuxedo shirt studs). I felt like I could truly be present at my wedding without the mental load of thinking of the little details, because KarmaGoddess had it all covered. The whole team is extremely responsive and communicates in a (very appreciated) timely manner. To top it all off, Vanessa has the most calm and tranquil demeanor, which really sets the tone for a stress-free wedding day. She went above and beyond in so many ways and made my entire experience. If I could give 10 stars, I would!
Working with Vanessa and her team was one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding. Although we purchased the day of planning package, the to-do list, checklist, and...
list of recommended vendors she provided us with were a god send and helped us get everything sorted for our big day. Whenever we had questions or needed advice, Vanessa was easy to reach and ready to help. They were even able to provide support for printing needs we had not fully anticipated. The meeting we had before the wedding with Vanessa and Katya allowed us to run through the final details and really feel prepared. Their service the day of the wedding was wonderful. I can get overwhelmed and stressed about making sure all the details of a big event are in place, but Vanessa and Katya made sure everything ran smoothly and I was able to relax and be in the moment. Our wedding was on the smaller side so I was tempted to try to handle everything myself, but there is so much that goes into making a wedding happen that, in retrospect, Iâm so grateful we had the support. If youâre contemplating working with Vanessa and her team, I highly recommend that you do!
Karma Goddess was the best decision we made in our wedding planning! My husband and I are from Chicago but our wedding was in Fort Lauderdale. We could not have done it without Van...
essa and Karma Goddess.
If you want your wedding to be everything you dreamed of - you need to hire Karma! We worked with Katya directly for our wedding - there are not enough words to describe how tale...
nted she is! She is very detail-oriented and not one thing was overlooked. From the moment we met her, she was focused on making our wedding exactly what we had hoped for and envisioned. She was on top of everything throughout the whole planning process - her work ethic and professionalism is unmatched, and she is so cool, calm, and collected. She has a very high level of communication, amazing organizational skills, and has the most kind hearted spirit! We could not have asked for a better wedding planner! During the planning process she was always there for us, supporting us along the way with other vendors, questions and concerns we had, and providing creative ideas to make our wedding day the best it could be. Once the wedding day came, she made sure everything went smoothly, we were on point with our timeline, and every other vendor was where they needed to be. It took so much stress off of us knowing we had someone that we fully relied on and trusted to make sure the day was perfect. Having Katya in our corner for this whole journey was truly the best decision we ever made and we are forever grateful that she crossed paths with us to make our wedding so memorable.
Vanessa and Kat were our wedding coordinators at the Bonnet House last month. The Karama Goddess team did an amazing job keeping my mind at ease. They thought of everything, were a...
lways a step a head and had our day run so smoothly without any hiccups (that I heard about). Our wedding day was one of the most amazing days of my life. It would not have been possible without this amazing team. If you want to enjoy your wedding day and not have to worry about any issues, I would recommend Vanessa and the Karma Goddess team for any event planning or coordinating needs. Thank you guys!!
Absolutely amazing! They were an absolute dream to work with. From our initial consultation to the final send-off at our reception, they were organized, attentive to detail, and al...
ways available to answer any questions we had.
They understood our vision perfectly and brought it to life even better than we could have imagined. They handled all the vendor communication, kept us on track with our budget, and made sure everything ran smoothly on the big day.
We were able to relax and enjoy every moment of our wedding because we knew they had everything under control. We are so grateful for their expertise and highly recommend them to any couple looking for a stress-free and unforgettable wedding experience.
For context, my husband and I were living in New York and in the middle of a move/starting new jobs in medicine while planning a destination wedding in Miami. He is Indian and my f...
amily is South American. Vanessa & her right hand, Katya, gave us the cultural fusion wedding of our dreams.
Choosing Karma Goddess as our planning team was by far our best decision in wedding planning. I'd say the #1 reason would be how Vanessa & Katya were able to read our personalities and really cater their guidance to how my husband and I best made decisions. A close second reason would be how available/flexible Vanessa was for the entire 1.5 years we worked with her. Vanessa held many evening and weekend meetings and never made us feel rushed. We often thought back to the many planners we interviewed who said they would have a set number of meetings with us and that blew our minds. We probably talked to Vanessa almost every day via phone or text in the weeks leading up to our wedding. As far as connections, they found us discounts or affordable recommendations in Miami that easily made working with them worthwhile.
Being in medicine, neither of us had a clue about design or event planning. Vanessa organized everything while still letting us make all the decisions. She found a way to present just enough variety of options without overwhelming us. By the end of our time together, she was already predicting what we would pick with complete accuracy :) They are extremely passionate about what they do, and genuinely enjoy problem solving and getting creative.
We only had to visit Miami twice (a plus for us as we were swamped with our new jobs) but they would have welcomed us as many times as we wanted. We had the best time venue touring and food tasting with Vanessa and Katya. We hung out with them extra because we genuinely enjoyed spending time with them.
The wedding days (this was a 3 day Indian fusion wedding) would not have gone as smoothly without them. When we ran into issues with the hotel, Vanessa and her team quickly solved them with a phone call. We later found out she also put out fires that we didn't even notice at the time. We get so many compliments on the design, food, and organization of our wedding and give Vanessa and her team all of the credit. We were in total awe when we saw how our reception space turned out in person.
I would strongly recommend Karma Goddess without any hesitation to any of my closest friends or family planning a wedding. You will remember this day for the rest of your lives, and having a team who is as invested and passionate about making your big day a success is more than worth it.
I cannot even put into words the gratitude I feel towards Vanessa and Kat. Our original planner had dropped out because we were doing 2 weddings in one day. We were both panicking ...
because we were 5 months out. The moment we started working with Vanessa we immediately saw the difference of having a planner that truly loves her job. We both felt so confident and comfortable that we were in the best hands. Your wedding day can feel like a truly stressful day, let alone ours started from 6:45 and didn't end until 11pm and I truly never felt one ounce of stress. Vanessa you are so amazing at your job and I'm so happy you made our dreams come true. You got my vision from day one and really made it into a reality. Kat, I feel like I have a new best friend and you kept me so calm and made sure I got the BEST pictures. Every single person at our wedding came up to both of us and said they are the best wedding planners they've ever seen. By the end, we considered them part of the wedding and our guests <3
If you are even remotely considering hiring Karma Godess, DO IT! I wasnât sure how much we really needed to hire a planner but we would have been lost without Vanessa and Kat. Work...
ing with them eased so much stress and it was comforting knowing that someone was there to worry about all of the details and handle the many things we never would have thought of on our own. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, Karma Goddess made sure no stone was left unturned. But the best part about working with them was on the day of the wedding. As the bride, Kat was by my side all day making sure things ran smoothly and that I wouldnât have to worry about a thing. Vanessa was boots on the ground at the venue, making sure all of the details came to fruition. Together, they are a powerhouse. They brought so much good energy and are a joy to be around. The best people to spend your wedding day with. Our wedding would not have been as incredible as it was without them. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you, Karma Goddess.
Vanessa is a true goddess. She was incredible throughout our entire wedding planning process (we live in MD but got married in FL); always going above and beyond. Vanessa is super ...
organized which made the remote planning process seamless. Our families and guests were truly impressed with how smooth everything went. Thanks team!!!
I was searching for a month of coordinator for our wedding at the Bonnet House in Fort Lauderdale. After meeting with multiple coordinators I was certain we wanted to book with Ka...
rma Goddess after speaking with Vanessa. The Karma Goddess team was amazing, offering the 60 day coordination was incredibly helpful and even the lead up to that was above and beyond. Vanessa is an absolute Rockstar, leading up to the wedding day a call with Vanessa put my mind at ease that all was on track and we were covered. Our wedding day was truly the best day of my life, anything that came up she was 5 steps ahead of. I would recommend Vanessa and the Karma Goddess team for any event planning or coordinating needs. Thank you all again!!!
We worked with Vanessa and Katya and they did a fantastic job coordinating with all the vendors, putting together a detailed scheduled, helping keep us organized, and making sure e...
verything went smoothly! I donât think I would have been nearly as calm on my wedding day without their help and knowing that they had everything handled!
We worked with Vanessa and her team to plan my wedding and it was hands down THE best decision we made. Vanessa made the planning so easy and had the most calming and positive atti...
tude from start to finish. Leading up to the wedding day, she and Katya were absolutely incredible, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about the pair. From gathering our somewhat unpredictable and often unruly bridal party, to ensuring my husband and I were content (and fed) the entire day, Vanessa and Katya handled it all with grace and made our entire weekend a dream come true.
Sometimes you start a relationship with a vendor and you feel good about it. Over the course of working with Vanessa and Katya it quickly went from good to great. The relationsh...
ip is one we will have forever.
They are super attentive and care so much about your wedding day. Always a positive attitude! Love the energy from this dynamic duo! Always going above and beyond. Super grateful to have KARMA GODDESS part of our wedding day.
If you're looking for a team that works with you, cares, understands, knows how to pivot in any situation, can handle the hardest of venus, creates solutions, not problems, and is an absolute joy to be around...look no further. Would work with all over again and again.
Thank you for the best day of our lives and being a part of it!
Karma Goddess you ROCK!
With love always to our new friends!
Rony & Rania
Hiring Vanessa and the team was the absolute BEST decision we could have made! As a âCovid Brideâ, we ended up having a 2+ year engagement/planning process, and she really helped u...
s roll with all the punches and keep the process fun from the start all the way through the big day. We genuinely enjoyed all of our meetings with her â she has a very positive and calming vibe, which can be very helpful! The final weeks leading up to our wedding were peak Omicron, and we had a lot of big wrenches thrown our way, but you would have NO idea because the wedding itself was absolutely flawless. If there were any actual issues the day of the wedding, I had no idea. Everything ran perfectly on time (even ahead!), and all of the details the day of tied together perfectly. I have never seen a wedding run so smooth. When I walked in to the room I literally started jumping for joy at how perfect everything came together. She really understood my vision, and was able to bring it to live. She provided great vendors, and worked well with the vendors that we wanted to bring in. I was able to completely let go the day of the wedding and leave all the details and coordinating to Vanessa and her team. It was so nice to just be able to focus on the fun stuff since I knew they had everything under control. Also shout out to Katya who spent a good portion of the day with making sure I was taken care of (including gluing my eyelash back on after cocktail hour). I felt they were genuinely invested in helping us have the best day possible, and could feel their excitement about our wedding. I couldnât imagine going through this process with any other planner, and cannot recommend Karma Goddess enough!
We truly can't say enough good things about Vanessa and Karma Goddess. We were one of the first COVID couples, with a wedding planned for March 2020. Not only did Vanessa stick it ...
out with us for almost THREE years, but she made the entire process of canceling, postponing, and planning multiple weddings as seamless as possible. She took care of everything, making sure we never had to worry or deal with anything ourselves. She planned the most magical backyard COVID mini wedding and then outdid herself again planning our big celebrating a year later. Both celebrations were beyond our wildest dreams and went off without a hitch! We feel so incredibly lucky to have had her through such challenging, unknown times. A huge shoutout to Katya for being absolutely amazing on the day of our big wedding, prepared with everything a bride could need and making sure our day was relaxed, special, and incredibly fun. We can't recommend Karma goddess enough.
Karma Goddess to the rescue!!! These two are an amazing duo -- we had a very bad experience with a previous planner where we had to drop everything and start from scratch within 30...
days. Vanessa and her team jumped RIGHT in and made everything seamless, stress-free and also fun. They are extremely calm, patient and easy to work with. They were our wedding ANGELS!!!!!! Highly recommend them to anyone for any occasion. They know how to pull off ANYTHING!!
Absolutely amazing. Cannot say enough about Vanessa and Katya, they were there with me every step of the way. I would go as far as saying I donât know how I wouldâve done it with o...
ut them. Katya never left my side, was at my beck and call at every moment. So grateful to her for putting up with me. Vanessaâs communication was fantastic and her leadership showed how great she is. Karma Goddess is the best and I recommend them to any one and everyone for their big day.

I donât even know where to begin with this amazing team. TLDR; book her ASAP, I have done a very thorough research of wedding planners in Miami and I guarantee you s...
he will be the BEST, most personable, most genuine, and most professional wedding planner you will find.
Vanessa, from the moment I met her, had incredible energy and smile that made all the wedding planning stress go away. I honestly donât know what I would have done without her. We had to move our wedding THREE times due to COVID. I still remember the first time we talked about possibly moving our original wedding date- 5/2/2021- when COVID first started. I was in denial, I could not believe it was happening, but Vanessa made it clear that I need to move my date ASAP in order for me to get the date I want. Our wedding was at Vizcaya, so of course, this popular venue was already full a year out but we were able to find another perfect date thanks to Vanessaâs quick phone calls and decisions. Everyone thinks moving wedding 3 times mustâve been very stressful, but it honestly was not at all with Vanessa by my side. She has such incredible relationships with all the vendors that everything just worked out so smoothly. Vanessa was there for me for TWO AND A HALF YEARS, always available to talk to. My wedding day was amazing because of her and her team. I managed myself to not cry throughout my wedding until I said goodbye to her in the end, I could not even get myself to give her a hug cuz I knew I was gonna start bawling- she was such an incredible support throughout and she made the wedding just MAGICAL. I still canât believe how perfect everything was, my guests commented that it was not only the best wedding they have been to, but also so well programmed that it was a such a seamless and incredible experience for them. Weather was perfect (âvanessa magicâ), we LOVED our photographer that Vanessa highly ecommended from the beginning, Korean traditional ceremony we put together last minute went amazing, DJ was so much fun, and just everything was PERFECT.
The only advice I want to give future brides is that you should just TRUST HER. I am the kind of person who needs to do a thorough research about everything to make sure I made the right choice, but all my research led me back to Vanessaâs first recommendation. So please, save yourself time, and just go with her recommendations. She knows the best. I donât want to end this review because I feel like this will really be the end of my incredible journey with her, but my family, husband (!), and I want to sincerely thank all of the amazing team members of Karma goddess for working the magic and make our dream come true. We love you, and canât thank you enough. Love, Jon & Esther
I was recently a bridesmaid and the bride had hired Karma Goddess for the day of the wedding. Fallon Wood was absolutely amazing! When I got married I had not spent the money on a ...
wedding planner, but after seeing how much help Fallon was I would definitely have spent the money to have her on my wedding day! She was there to help with anything and everything we needed all day and thought about all of the little things we had not thought about. She made the day so much less stressful by helping with all of the last minute things so us bridesmaids could just spend the day celebrating with the bride and the bride didn't need to stress about anything. Fallon did it all with a smile and was such a warm and fun person you instantly felt like she was a friend just there to help.
Enough good canât be said about Vanessa and her team at Katma Goddess. From the first moment we met Vanessa we knew she was the right wedding planner for us. She is extremely passi...
onate about what she does and it shows in every phone call, email, meet up. She is so incredibly good at her job. She provided suggestions when needed and helped negotiate with vendors on our behalf. She listened to what my wife and I had envisioned for our wedding day and she made it happen within budget and exceeded every expectation. We have grown to think of her less of a wedding planner and more of a friend. She is a beautiful person inside and out and she will make your event all that much better.
Vanessa & Katie were AMAZING to work with from start to finish! Loved every second of planning my wedding with these ladies. Their detail and organization leading up to the wedding...
was fantastic, and made me feel very relaxed throughout the process. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for planning help. Thank you!!
Vanessa is absolutely amazing! We knew as soon as we met her she would be great. Planning a wedding in Florida from San Diego was not easy but she made everything run smoothly and ...
had some great recommendations as well. Our wedding was just perfect. I did not think I would be so calm on the day of my wedding but thanks to Vanessa and her team, I was able to relax and enjoy the day. She was beyond helpful, accommodating, and communicative. We highly recommend Karma Goddess.
Vanessa with Karma Goddess is the absolute best!! At first, I wasnât sure if we needed a month of coordinator because I thought I had almost everything planned, but boy was I wrong...
. I needed help! I am so glad I found Vanessa (who came highly recommended by hotel venue and friends). Not only is she the sweetest woman to work with, but she is also professional, organized, and extremely helpful. She handled all the big and little details that I couldnât have imagined dealing with as our big day was approaching.... she coordinated every vendor, scheduled a timeline, organized the bridal party and family for photos, coordinated and stayed with me the complete wedding...she even resewed my bustle when it wouldnât button!! She allowed me to enjoy everything about my big day and not worry about a thing! Thank you Karma Goddess!
We hired Vanessa to do decor and coordination for our destination wedding in Florida. Being from NY, I was nervous it would be hard to share my vision with someone and make sure it...
was executed like I envisioned. I am so grateful we had Vanessa to help us! I felt like she immediately understood the vibe we were going for and was very communicative with us throughout the process. On the day of, her and her team were invaluable to keeping us on track and making sure my new husband and I were taken care of as well as our vendors. All I can say is - I partied my butt off at my wedding because I didn't have to worry about one little thing. Plus our flowers were gorgeous!! Vanessa and her team are amazing and I would recommend 10/10 times over. Thank you Vanessa!
Love,
Natalie and Greg
We hired Karma Goddess as our day-of coordinator and I could not be happier!! Vanessa is an incredibly sweet person to work with! She is very responsive to emails and texts and nev...
er leaves a question unanswered. She made planning an out-of-state wedding so much easier for us.
Vanessa truly made our day go flawlessly. There were some things I didn't know about until after the wedding, such as that my family had prepared a surprise video from guests that couldn't make it to the wedding. Unfortunately they kept it as too much of a surprise, because truly no one (none of the vendors or our venue) knew about it and there was no plan to set up the screen or anything. Luckily Vanessa came to the rescue! I don't know what she did or worked out, but somehow she worked her magic to make everything run very smoothly, as if it had been part of the plan all along.
You can tell that Vanessa truly cares about her clients and really does everything in her power to make this the best day ever.
I will admit, I was uncertain about hiring a coordinator at first, but I am so, so happy that we did! Out of everything, hiring Karma Goddess was truly the best decision we made and the best money we spent!
Thank you, Vanessa, for everything you did for us, our day would not have been as special if it weren't for you!
Best decision ever!!! I hesitated for 8 months to get a wedding planner and literally one month before the big day we decided to go with Karma Goddess and thank God we did. Everyt...
hing was well taken care of. I cannot imagine that day with so many things going on without Vanessa, Sam & the team. At the end of the day everything was perfect and all the headaches & struggles were left in the past... completely.
Thank you goddesses for your help. You were amazing and I definitely recommend any bride to hire this great team
Sam and Vanessa are so great at listening to what you want and turning your vision into reality! This was one of the best decisions we made, Sam was so helpful the day of the weddi...
ng and was ready with anything I needed! They really made my wedding, we couldn't have done it without them!
We are SO glad that we hired Karma Goddess (specifically Sam Smith, wedding coordinator extraordinaire) for our wedding. Sam made the time schedule, coordinated with all the vendor...
s, decorated our reception space, etc., so that we didn't have to do anything except show up and enjoy the party! It was definitely worth the extra cost so you and your family can truly relax and enjoy your wedding and let someone else worry about the details. Sam was even prepared when one of the bustles on my dress broke - she had it repaired within 5 min. She's the best!
We worked with Sam for our wedding in Fort Lauderdale. My husband and I are not from Florida so hiring a wedding coordinator was one of the best things we could've spent money on, ...
and Sam was worth every penny! She met with us two months before the wedding which was our last trip to Florida before the wedding. She picked up some things we brought down for the wedding so that we wouldn't have to worry about packing so much on the wedding weekend. She made a very detailed timeline, contacting each and every one of our vendors so that everyone was on the same page. She met a few times with the hotel coordinator as well as other vendors even when we were not in town. We were constantly mailing her packages for the wedding and the day we landed for the wedding weekend - she met with us and gave us everything we had shipped. On the day of the wedding, she was constantly around, her colleagues were consistently making sure my husband and I were okay. She made the whole day go smoothly, especially with our procession and entrances. At the end of the wedding she dropped a bunch of our things back to our room so we wouldn't have to worry about it. She gave us a peace of mind we wouldn't have had had we attempted to manage the wedding on our own. She was so easy to talk to and answered texts at any hour of the day. We are grateful for her tireless energy and for allowing us to enjoy our wedding day without stressing about anything!
Planning a destination wedding can be pretty hectic. Vanessa and her team went above and beyond to make it the perfect day. Vanessa is extremely professional yet personable to work...
with. The two others that I encountered on her team demonstrated the same qualities. I chose to do my wedding coordination and flowers with Vanessa. Worth every penny. They were able to create the look that I was trying to accomplish. Above all, Vanessa is extremely knowledable and can point you in the right direction using her resources . Highly recommend. Thank you Karma Goddess!
If I could give Karma Goddess more than 5 stars I would! Hiring Vanessa and the Karma team was the BEST decision we made in wedding planning. From day one, Vanessa made the entire ...
wedding planning process a breeze. She kept calm, organized, and provided me with amazing and creative ideas for just about everything. She understood my vision, and did everything in her power to bring it to life. I could not recommend Vanessa and the Karma Goddess team any more! Our Wedding was absolutely PERFECT and I know that is a testament to their AMAZING work.
Vanessa and the entire Karma Goddess team did an incredible job helping plan my wedding this past November. We booked Vanessa a little over a year before my wedding and we met seve...
ral times in person and had countless phone calls and email trails. She is sweet and so accommodating to anything you would like to request regarding your wedding. The wedding day literally went off without a hitch, if there were any problems she didn't make them known to myself or anyone in the wedding party. It was the most enjoyable and stress free experience having Karma Goddess on our wedding day! I would recommend Karma Goddess to anyone that is looking for a detail oriented planner with great vision and an extremely laid back and enjoyable experience.

All of our friends and family commented on how amazing Vanessa and Sam was in helping everyone get to where they needed to be.
My day certainly would not have been the same without Karma Goddess. They are 100% worth it!!

wedding planning. Vanessa kept the process as stress free as possible and gave us great guidance and advice. She connected us with the perfect vendor for our vision. The day of the wedding we didn't have to worry about anything. Vanessa and her team took care of every detail.
Thank you KarmaGoddess for giving us a beautiful wedding!!!
Vanessa was our day-of coordinator and florist and we were truly happy with her. I had reservations about making her our day-of coordinator because I never anticipated using one an...
d I thought it was costly, but she worked with us on the price and hiring her was one of the best decisions I made in wedding planning. I found her to be extremely organized, very prompt with responses to emails (which is huge when you're dealing with a ton of vendors and need answers quickly), and takes her work very seriously. At the start, she made countless revisions to our proposals to help get it to our budget comfortable level and towards the end when the stress started setting it, she went above and beyond what I expected by sending emails to each one of my vendors and making sure that everything would run smooth on wedding day. She even offered to track down vendors that were missing-in-action. The decor was gorgeous- I opted for smaller centerpieces, but so many people commented on how awesome they were. Overall, great service and a great choice!
I used Vanessa and her company Karma Goddess for my florals and day of planner for my wedding last month. The reception venue was a blank canvas and after just one telephone conve...
rsation, Vanessa understood my vision and executed on it to perfection. Vanessa and her team transformed the venue in ways I couldn't imagine and everything ran smoothly from the beginning of the day until the end of our perfect day. I have Vanessa and her team to thank for making our wedding day the perfect day.
I will first start by saying, THANK GOODNESS for Karma Goddess Event Planning and Design. The single best decision I made during the wedding planning process was hiring Vanessa Op...
po and her company to plan and design the biggest event of my life. My husband and I had a specific vision for our wedding, something that was classic yet modern, simple yet chic, luxury yet affordable! Not only did Vanessa execute my vision perfectly and made my wedding a dream come true, she handled all vendors magnificently and more importantly, kept me SANE! I truly enjoyed the pre-planning process with Vanessa, I actually miss her already, awaiting to receive an email or phone call. There was not a request that she wasnât open to asking for, there was not a fire storm that she wasnât prepared to put out. We held monthly conference calls in the evening with our parents and they all truly adored her. On the day of, I canât tell you if anything went wrong, because she handled everything and refused to allow anyone to contact us for any questions or concerns. I completely felt cared for by her and her team. Through all obstacles and challenges she continued to be the voice of reason. Karma Goddess is based out of Florida but my husband and I live in the Washington DC metro area, and she handled us as if we were local. I know that I have probably sent her hundreds of emails, texts throughout the entire planning process but she responded back to all of them and right away, even if later in the evening. She had a true concept of open door policy. I never had to reach out to her, she always provided me with a weekâs agenda and action items list to concur that week and month. She never worried me with details that she could handle on her own.
Karma Goddess comes with vendor recommendations and management, budget planning and management, and time management. Vanessa is a consummate professional and hardworking and deserves every bit of success thrown her way. Vanessa THANK YOU!

Vanessa Oppo is a floral genius! She must see thousands of brides but it certainly didn't feel like 'just another event' when we began to discuss ideas for floral arrangements, and...
decorations. Her passion for this business definitely shines throuh and wow does Vanessa have an eye for details. I would have never thought of using the colors she suggested or placing rhinestone cuffs around the bases of centerpieces which added that perfect touch of romance and glamour to the church and reception venues.
My only regret is not also hiring her as our wedding coordinator; however, my fiance and I were not aware that she provided such services at the time. We truly enjoyed working with Vanessa as she was not only patient, professional, and extremely organized but well connected with many of the highest rated vendors in South Florida.
I would recommend Karma Goddess to all brides who are looking for high quality and service!
I cant ever say enough amazing things about Vanessa. From her sweet smile, her calming effect that she has over you, her talents and her budjet concoius mind!! Vanessa did an amaz...
ing job with our wedding, she planned everything in three months and it was a picture perfect day! She found us the most amazing villa in coconut grove, villa woodbine, which was in our budjet and incredible and private. She connected us with all the right people - an amazing photographer (Maloman Photography )and a perfect videographer (Serendipity Studios) - she also did our flowers at the budjet we need to be at. She has an incredible team behind her - they all take pride in what they do and they do it so smooth!! I was the calmest bride every especially the day of - i got to enjoy just being a bridy!! Vanessa was on point with my vision. Other wedding planner just care about the bottom line and how much they can get you to spend but NOT Vanessa - she cares about quality, being unique, calmness, staying in budjet and making your day amazing!!! Vanessa was involved from the beging - after I got engaged she was my first call!!! Thanks for everything Vanessa!!!!!!!
