Karen is hands down the best, she is personable, caring, fun, and so good at what she does!! Karen and her team truly helped make our wedding day dreams come true. From everything to staying in our budget, our vision, and comfortability throughout the process and day off. Karen and Dalyn were always responsive even to my probably over dramatic questions. As a bride you have a vision for your special day, My husband and I didn’t have any worries the day of, our family/friends were able to sit back and enjoy the day with us. When we first had our meeting with Karen she asked us if we could have anything on our wedding day what would that be. I said, our families not be stressed out the day of and enjoy the day with us and my husband said as long as Koti (me) is happy I’m happy. I can truly say she made our dreams and wishes come true. I think when people hear wedding planner they think cha ching, I promise you it can work in any budget if you truly want it to and you will be so so happy that you did.

I could write forever about KMC Weddings and Events and how they absolutely made our wedding day the best day of our lives. We hired Karen & team for full planning and boy did they make the process SO easy. They worked with us on our vision and recommended & booked amazing vendors to help pull everything off. Communication was always a priority for this team. I always felt like I was in the loop and they kept it real with costs, details, and expectations. I’m still in awe of this perfect day, I want to relive this experience all over again. Thank you KMC team!!!

We had such an incredible experience working with the KMC team, and especially Abby C. who was the main planner I worked with, she is my hero and she was exceptional! I knew within minutes of my first phone call with Karen that her team was right for me. Karen and Abby were both so genuine, and immediately made me feel at ease when talking to them, I felt like I had been friends with them for yrs. My mom and I had met with other planners which all seemed amazing as well, but something that stood out on our first phone call with Karen & Abby (as well as the whole team) was how kind and engaging they were with my Mom and not just me, which was so important to me. I appreciated KMC's approach at finding out what was and was not important to us, and really focused on our vision. I felt like they truly tailored their approach to include everything that was important to us. I had recently started a new job and was extremely busy during the planning process, and also felt like I had no idea where to begin prior to hiring KMC. I don't know what I would have done without them! KMC uses a very user-friendly platform to organize all of the details in one place (including seating chart/rsvp) which I felt was VERY helpful (even parents can use easily 🙂). I highly recommend Abby C, who was the planner I primarily worked with. She was so amazing and so skilled! she had exceptional attention to detail, great suggestions on various details, a calming demeanor, ability to coordinate seamlessly between all the vendors etc. She will always have a special place in my heart for going above and beyond for us, and making our day run so smoothly. Her communication was excellent. She was always quick to respond when I reached out. She was on site the whole-time day of the wedding, she ensured everything was set up appropriately, coordinated the vendors, etc. she also checked in with me frequently, she even helped me bustle my dress! If you are questioning whether you should get a planner, the answer is 100% YES. Hiring KMC was by far the best decision I made and the best money I spent! The entire team exceeded expectations; I highly recommend them !! I can't say THANK YOU enough! -Katie and Matt Clarke - 10/29/2022. **From the Mother of the Bride - 10/29/2022** THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, ABBY!! My husband and I are beyond grateful for everything you, and your wonderful team at KMC, did to make our daughter's wedding absolutely beautiful!! And so much FUN!! Your extraordinary attention to every little detail was amazing! We valued every suggestion you made and greatly appreciated all of your guidance. Your exceptional organizational skills and ability to coordinate with all the vendors resulted in a flawless execution of our entire event. We couldn't have been happier and we couldn't have done it without you!! Even more, and such a blessing, you were so kind and friendly to all of us. SO easy to work with! You felt like a longtime friend from the minute we met you :) You were the very definition of cool, calm, and collected at all times. Your composure and grace were incredibly reassuring throughout the whole process and we appreciated it so much!! We are forever grateful to you, Abby!! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!! Marcia and Dan P.

Better than I ever could have dreamed! Working with Karen and her team made planning, design, and the day of our wedding the best experience ever. We couldn't have asked for a better team to take care of us and help our aspirations come true. Her team was welcoming, kind, and so professional. We never could have done it without Karen and her team.

7/05/2022 • Cassie P

Karen and her team did a great job as coordinators for our wedding. They executed all my ideas and made them even better than I could have dreamed. The venue was beautiful and we truly did not have to worry about almost anything throughout the entire day. They kept everything on time and running very smoothly. I also relied on their help in picking some of my vendors (such as videographer, band and florist) and all of them really turned out so amazing. I picked Karen after our initial conversation, because I got such a good vibe. I did not pick wrong! We definitely recommend working with them.

KMC got me down the aisle and coordinated my whole day after years of a pandemic and so many life changes ! Hiccups happened that were out of our control but Karen stayed on top of it guiding me every step and moment of the way . I needed that guidance more than anything ! Absolutely beautiful from the flow of the day , to my family and friends that attended , to all the Decour in the ceremony and reception space. Karen’s genuine honesty, sweet personality, professionalism and organizational skills shined through. I’m so glad I trusted her with makingThis beautiful day finally happen .

We hired KMC Weddings and Events for our destination wedding in Seagrove Beach, FL. At first, we considered planning it ourselves. However,when we started dive in to researching vendors, it was apparent everything would run smoother with a planner. I cannot stress enough how much a wedding planner is helpful especially on the wedding day! On our wedding day, we did not worry about a thing and could fully enjoy the day we spent months planning for. There was such comfort knowing everything was being taken care of. Karen and her assistant, Jasmine, did a fantastic job! We hired KMC Weddings and Events for wedding day coordination and timeline services. What we received was so much more! Even when two weeks prior we found out the location for the wedding was not going to work due to new regulations, Karen found a better location and adjusted everything accordingly. The day of the wedding was more than we could have ever imagined from start to finish. Thank you KMC Events so much for making this milestone so special for us!

Karen and her team at KMC were incredible in every way. Karen was the ultimate hype lady and felt like a true friend throughout the process. She never made me feel silly for my questions and helped beyond what was contracted. She is a BOSS. She bulldogs projects and handles her business to make sure the couple is taken care of. Appreciated her whole heartedly!

5/21/2021 • Sophia G

Karen and her team went above and beyond for our wedding! They helped ease all of our wedding day stress. We hired KMC to help with just wedding day coordination and timeline services but we got so much more! Karen went above and beyond to make the planning process and day of for us so easy! She recommended vendors, took on additional tasks with our seating chart, and made our day ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! not to mention her team checked in and walked our dog throughout the night at the reception. We couldnt be happier with our services and are so glad we went with KMC! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

We love KMC Weddings and Events!! Karen and her team are life savers!! They are the reason everything went off without a hitch, truly the best ever!! We had so much fun working with everyone. We knew the moment we met Karen that we were in good hands. Her expertise was incredibly helpful and allowed us to have the wedding of our dreams. You can tell Karen really cares about her couples and thinks about their specific needs with every decision made. All while the world was falling apart during the global pandemic, Karen never once let the stress of COVID-19 get in the way of planning. No thank you could ever be enough; Karen made our day one we will never forget. We are so happy to have worked with KMC Weddings and Events, we’d do it all over again tomorrow!

12/16/2020 • Krystle A

Karen and her team are superb! Not only did they manage the day, the planning, and organizing, and do it well, but they also managed my emotions! We all know weddings can be stressful and our emotions can take over. We planned our wedding in about 2 months so talk about stress!!! Anytime I got worries about anything Karen was there to reassure me and I felt so much better. Before I walked down the aisle, other members of her team talked me through my rush of emotions of happiness (that came out as tears) and brought some humor to help me preserve my make up—thank you!!! The day was perfect! Everything happened as it needed to and as things came up (like the wind blowing our arch a little unstable), they were there improvising and making sure it all went off beautifully, all while keeping me out of it. The staff was on top of everything! We had planned surprises for our guests during our wedding and the staff was in on it and timed everything up perfectly. The design of the space was utilized well, the communication was timely, and the organization of everything was a perfect way to get us to our big day with less stress and “to dos,” which was imperative since we had just moved in our house two months prior and had the wedding in our back yard. I feel so very lucky to have met Karen! Her personality and attention to detail are what drew me in. (I’m pretty picky!). One of the biggest traits that stood out to me was how much she enjoys this. She loved putting together our wedding and was not only the planner and coordinator, but also a friend. I didn’t imagine this process being so fun and special because the day is what you look forward to, but I must say, going through this process with Karen was exactly what I needed and I am so glad we’ve met her. What a gem!!!

KMC Destinations made our elopement in Glacier National Park perfect and stress free! Karen flew out with my dress and bouquet so I wouldn’t have to be worried about traveling with a gown and live flowers. She and her assistant spent a whole day with our photographer scouting locations around the park for our photo shoot. The morning of, she went with me to get my hair done and kept me smiling and excited for the big day! Her assistant helped me into my dress on the side of the road... destination elopements are def an adventure!! Montana in October had us experience 4 seasons in a day and Karen was always on standby with a coat , blanket or umbrella to keep me warm in between photos. Our big day was perfect thanks to Karen!!

10/27/2020 • JT & Lauren S

Planning a wedding is stressful! Planning a destination wedding is way more stressful! Either route, having Karen as our wedding planner was literally the best and easiest decision we could have made. She won us over after just 1 meeting with her. She was fun and upbeat and easy to talk to and relatable and, seriously, the list goes on and on. Making her the best choice of a wedding planner. Together, we planned a destination wedding with her and she was everything we’d hoped for. She made things simple and stress free! She did all the foot work and we helped with the fun details and fine tuning of our wedding. She made our special day everything we dreamed of with out us having to worry about much of anything. We were able to fully enjoy our big day while she made sure everything went smoothly. We would, and already have, absolutely recommend her to anyone planning a wedding.

10/26/2020 • Hayley A

I cannot say enough good things about Karen and her team. KMC made the wedding planning process stress-free and enjoyable. I went into our initial planning meeting with a very vague idea of what I wanted and Karen took my small ideas and turned them into a dream! We had an intimate wedding, and up until the wedding my groom was skeptical about having a wedding planner. The day after he said, “I totally get it now!” Karen thought of every little detail, worked with our vendors to make sure they didn’t miss a beat, and took care of everything so that Jeff and I could enjoy the day without a single worry! We are truly so thankful to Karen and her team at KMC Weddings!

10/23/2020 • Hannah L

I was lucky enough to have Karen as my wedding planner and I am so thankful she was there to guide me throughout the process. Karen and her team were absolutely phenomenal! From start to finish, Karen was responsive and extremely helpful, especially when we had to switch our wedding day due to COVID19. She made the wedding day stress free!

10/14/2020 • Marilyn M

When my daughter started the wedding planning journey in mid-2019, she felt we needed a wedding planner but I convinced her that I could handle the logistics side of things. Things went well for a few months and then it became apparent that I was in way over my head. Enter Karen/KMC Weddings & Events! Our florist, photographer and venue all referred us to Karen – they have worked together many times and they convinced me to give her a call. About 15 minutes into that first call, I hired her and that was definitely one of the most important decisions I made! And, of course, my daughter was much relieved, knowing we were in good hands. Karen is my hero and she is every MOBs dream come true. As soon as we signed with her, she was literally a text or e-mail away. Karen’s warm and friendly demeanor made even the most stressful aspects of wedding planning go smoothly. Her recommendations on everything from table linens to signage to getaway car were some of the most successful and complimented aspects of the ceremony and reception. And there are no adequate words to describe her rehearsal and wedding day coordination- she was simply amazing. Karen has a meticulous eye for detail and she worked tirelessly to ensure we were able to enjoy our special day. It was a glorious day and everything was beautiful! Thank you so very much, Karen! We love you!

10/05/2020 • Dalynn P

Karen and her team were amazing! From day one after our meeting I was so excited to work her and the KMC team. I am kind of sad writing this review because that means our time with Karen has ended lol but we couldn't have done it without her. There was a point where I thought about postponing our wedding due to COVID. Karen was very supportive and let us know that she would be there for us no matter what we decided. We decided to push through and I am so happy we did. Our wedding was GOREGEOUS. We still have family and friends raving about it. Karen listened to our vision and delivered x10. . Organization and communication were on point. There is not one negative thing thing I could say. We hope to get to work with her again one day, with possibly a renewal in the future!

When we started planning our wedding, we thought we could do it ourselves (doesn't everyone?). I am so glad we realized early enough in the process that we needed some help, and I am even more glad that we found that help through Karen and her team at KMC. The wedding we were planning was small and casual, so we decided a day-of coordinator instead of a full planner was the way to go. KMC offers both options, but I was more than happy with the value we received with the d.o.c. package. She worked directly with our venue and vendors to ensure everything would be setup and ready the day of the wedding. Our wedding weekend could not have run more smoothly. We held a rehearsal the day before, which Karen was quick to guide us through. On the day of the wedding, she helped corral guests and wedding party members throughout the day, and we were even able to start the ceremony a few minutes early. After the ceremony, we were able to see our reception setup, and I was beyond impressed. Everything was set up perfectly and looked even better than I could have expected. The reception ran perfectly as well. From start to finish, not a single thing was out of line and I cannot express what an absolute relief I felt the entire night, knowing that everything I worried about from the start of my planning was actually a non-issue the moment I hired KMC. Karen was by far one of the best people I could have ever had the opportunity to work with. On top of her amazing wedding coordinating skills, she is so fun and down to earth. I seriously cannot recommend her enough!!!

8/28/2020 • Robin L

I cannot recommend Karen and her day-of planning services enough!!! She was absolutely amazing. From being at the rehearsal dinner to practice the ceremony, to planning a super detailed wedding day timeline, and staying until the end of the night to help take down all the decorations, she went above and beyond in every aspect of our wedding. My parents were skeptical about spending the extra money for a day-of planner but after using Karen’s services all of us agree it was worth every penny we spent. We were all able to truly enjoy the wedding day and not have to worry about all the small details that make a wedding run smoothly because Karen was there doing everything she could to make sure our wedding was perfect! We stayed on schedule all night and our wedding was everything we dreamed of thanks to Karen and her team!

7/23/2020 • Sammie W

Karen and her team went ABOVE AND BEYOND to make our day absolutely beautiful. Karen helped me fix my bustle after I ripped it dancing at the reception and touched up my makeup for me after I was a sobfest at the ceremony. Our vision came to life through her and I would have been so lost in the planning process if I didn’t have Karen. The day of, she took care of everything and I didn’t have to worry about a thing. So if you are maybe thinking about paying for a planner, DO IT. It is absolutely worth every penny to have an organized, caring, and personable team like KMC to make your dream wedding come true!

12/14/2019 • Kayla E

Karen I can’t say enough how much it was a pleasure working with you and your team! Your truly made my dream come to life and helped create my happily ever after. You were so amazing to work with, always super flexible with my crazy work schedule, always extremely quick to respond to emails, calls, and texts! You and your team made the wedding day so stress free and truly perfect! Everything was so beautiful and just flawless! You are so amazing I could go on and on and on!!! Huge thank you to the entire KMC team for absolutely everything you have done!

10/22/2019 • Katie C

Karen did an amazing job for our wedding! We used Karen for our day of coordinator and she helped multiple times prior to that. She really knew her stuff and helped me feel confident that our day was going to go perfectly. We were planning our wedding from out of town and last minute put a move to a new city on top of the final wedding month. To say I was stressed was an understatement. Having Karen there to keep us on track, ensure we didn't miss anything, and jump in on last minute items helped me stay sane enough to enjoy the weeks before our wedding. The day of the wedding I felt comfortable enough to not worry while she handled everything at our venue. We literally showed up an hour before the ceremony and everything was perfectly handled. Do yourself a favor and work with Karen and her team!

10/10/2019 • Haley W

Our wedding would not have been the perfect, magical weekend that it was without KMC Events and their wedding management package! I hadn’t originally planned to use any kind of wedding management, but decided to look into it and using KMC was by far the best thing we did for our wedding! Karen and Jasmine are both so sweet and incredibly easy to work with. When the stress of the upcoming wedding started to hit hard about 2 months out, Karen was there to step in and take over all the things I needed her to. It is so nice to be able to actually enjoy the time leading up to your wedding and knowing it will be in great hands that will do an amazing job for the whole weekend! They have the answers to everything and give great advice, input, and ideas for anything you want. Our ceremony and reception were beautifully decorated, and all we had to do was show up! They took care of everything the whole weekend, even things I hadn’t thought of before, and my groom and I were able to have so much fun because we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Karen and Jasmine are both amazing. If you are on the fence at all about hiring a wedding planner, I 100% recommend hiring KMC. My only regret is that I didn’t hire them for more for our wedding - would have loved to hire them for a full planning and design package! They singlehandedly made our wedding perfect and go off without a hitch. I cannot thank Karen and Jasmine enough!!!!

10/09/2019 • Misha B

Karen and Sydney of KMC Weddings did an amazing job executing my vision! I am VERY picky and detail oriented and the team went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect and met my standards. While setting up the reception hall, the stems of my vases weren't as sturdy as I hoped, her team got creative, and changed the decorations in a way that the tables would still look great, while not running the risk of being knocked down by guests partying. Thanks to them, I was able to relax and enjoy my wedding day! I would definitely recommend them!

9/26/2019 • Kaitlin C

BEST DAY EVER!! All thanks to the wonderful ladies at KMC! They truly go above and beyond to ensure your day is perfect! As the bride they make sure you are always taken care of and worry free for your big day! Jasmine was my right hand lady, always there when I needed her and frequently checked in with me to make sure I was doing okay! Kind women with a strong passion for what they do. They truly care about you and making sure you say goes off without a hitch!! I can’t say thank you enough! I would relive this day over and over with these same ladies! 💓

9/06/2019 • Amy C

Karen and her Dream Team were AMAZING!!! Thanks to them I was able to relax and enjoy my wedding. I must say these girls were excellent at anticipating my and my husband's needs, not to mention their attention to detail. I didn't have to worry about a thing! Thank you Karen and your team for being so compassionate and great at what you do. I couldn't have survived the day without you!

9/04/2019 • Kelsey L

I was referred to Karen by another vendor because she thought Karen, my fiance and I would get along really well with our personalities. I am sooo happy she suggested Karen! I met with her several times through the course of our wedding planning process (which started 18 months before the actual wedding). From the very first day I met her, she was asking tons of questions to get to know my fiance and I. She really cared about making our wedding day perfect. When she pulled me into the ballroom at the reception, I was blown away by how amazing everything looked. It far surpassed my expectations and I cannot thank Karen and her crew enough for all they did for me. They were there the entire time, from seeing me off at the ceremony, to filling tons of vases with flower petals, to bustling my dress every time it fell, and directing me on when to cut the cake, and what not. Thanks again!!

9/04/2019 • Sarah F

I love working with Karen & her team. They’re so fun and personable and their attention to detail is unmatched. You can definitely trust her to troubleshoot and problem solve to make sure your big day goes off without a hitch. She also has an amazing eye for design and great relationships with other fantastic vendors that she can refer you to!

9/03/2019 • Brook J

I can't say enough how amazing Karen and her team were! I was referred to Karen by my maid of honor, and I will now recommend her to everyone I know getting married!! From the big picture to the minor details (like putting my garter on for me in the middle of the reception because I forgot LOL) she had everything covered!! The wedding was more than I could have possible dreamed of and we couldn't have done it without her and her team!! Love you to pieces!!! Thank you SO MUCH!

9/03/2019 • Irina G

Karen did NOT do a good job with my wedding. She did NOT save me any money, she did NOT ease the stress of wedding. As a matter of fact she ADDED to my stress and created additional work for me. I cannot recommend her. She is a horrible communicator. She ignored some of my emails and texts. Many other emails and texts were answered after 3 days. Several times I woke in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep feeling frustrated with her performance. That is NOT a kind of wedding planner you need. She made me fill out several long, useless surveys. We could only use one vendor that she suggested. Other ones were either too expensive or unavailable or not very good. Except for one, I had to find all my vendors myself. Her florist was 1K more expensive then the one I found (btw I highly recommend Petals & Glass for a florist). I felt like we were the least important couple. At least 3 times we discussed that I will rent a heavy aisle runner from Karen. There was NO aisle runner when I walked the aisle. Turns out she gave it to someone else. Website she uses for check list is NOT user friendly. Karen is very aggressive when it comes to signing you up and collecting money but very sluggish with her work performance. The only reason I did not fire her was because I wanted to keep my wedding process as positive as possible. All of my other vendors were wonderful, she was by far the worst. Save yourself some grief and find someone else to plan your wedding. All my other vendors are getting 5 star reviews. She was not good.

8/17/2019 • Leah R

Karen was amazing! We fell in love with a venue and had to plan our wedding in three months remotely (we live in DC). Karen was unbelievable. We told her it was important to us to make quick and easy decisions. She narrowed the vendors down for us, and made the pros and cons of each easy to understand and make decisions on. She also took complete ownership of all the things we cared less about (for us that was the decor and layout) and many guests said it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to. She found the most perfect little personalized touches that fit our personality and vibe we wanted. Can’t recommend more highly!

8/14/2019 • Katie U

KMC and Sydney were incredible! The attentiveness Sydney showed during the week of the wedding as the coordinator and the day of was great. On the day of the wedding Sydney was on top of our specific requests and made sure everything ran smoothly. I truly cannot recommend her enough.

7/07/2019 • Hanifah M

KMC weddings and Events is AHHHMAZINGGG to say the least! From beginning to end they are not only your wedding planner, design team, and organizers but they are here for you outside of all the wedding planning! During our time of wedding planning , we came up with unique ideas and just literally thought of something and would send it to Karen and she took all of our ideas and brought them to life and truly exceeded our expectations. Every single small detail was present from beginning to end, they really don't miss a beat!!! The team becomes family, their nurturing and loving personalities are what you want for you dream team! We had a dream wedding day and all that we asked for and more!! Every bride deserves to feel that way and KMC weddings will grant you that!!!

7/03/2019 • Brianna S

Having Karen was so helpful! It is such a good feeling when you can relax on your big day and know that there is someone to take care of things. There were little things I noticed throughout the day that would not have been handled correctly if it weren't for Karen. For example, my husband and I were running late for our entrance into the reception and my dress was not bustled. Karen hurried us along, helped get my dress bustled and ready to go, communicated with the band seamlessly, and got us into the reception without a problem. The week leading up to the wedding, it was amazing that I did not have to spend the time talking with my vendors making sure they would know when and where they where needed. I did not talk through the logistics with any of them yet everything went perfectly the day of the wedding- this is all thanks to Karen. I would not have been able to sit back and enjoy the day as much as I did if it weren't for her!

Can’t say enough positive things about Karen and Sydney at KMC weddings. They made my amateur wedding vision turn into an incredible Pinterest-ish reality without the extreme price tag or nagging stress that comes with planning a wedding. They made it easy, they made it FUN. And most importantly, my big day was exactly that....because they took care of all the details. If there was a hiccup, I didn’t know about it. I never once thought about anything the day of other than my husband & enjoying the moment. Is there such a thing as a 6 star rating? Can you guys do our 10 year anniversary too? :) morale of the rating, hire them now. You’ll thank yourself in a year when you’re the one writing this review

Karen Collins and KMC Weddings helped us to create the perfect wedding of our dreams. Wedding planning is an overwhelming process, but through her planning website and checklists she makes it easily manageable. Not only that, but she frequently checked in just to make sure we were doing okay. Her vast knowledge and connections in the wedding industry were a big help in not only finding vendors that matched our design visions, but also our budget. From day one Karen and her team were complete professionals, incredibly organized and genuinely excited to bring our dream wedding to life. Karen's positive attitude and passion for bringing the details and dreams of our day to life make working with her such a fun and memorable experience. When it came to our big day, Karen and Sydney were prepared and knowledgeable of every little detail. I'm someone who doesn't enjoy giving up control, but handing over the reigns and trusting them to ensure everything was set up and ran smoothly on the wedding day was easy. They worked hard to make sure we had time to relax and enjoy our day without having to worry or check things. Our wedding day was nothing short of perfect and KMC Weddings is to thank for that. We would (and have been) recommending them to anyone planning any event! Working with Karen was the best decision we made in our entire wedding process!

I had the pleasure of working with Karen and her crew in Big Sur, California. Karen is highly professional, organized, and most importantly...fun. Her and her team provide the highest class work, and her personality makes you feel like you're working with your best friend from high school rather than a 'random' vendor. Karen and her team take care of every detail so you don't have to. Perhaps most importantly, they know how to help you relax and have fun, which is vitally important on your wedding day. Karen and her crew are without a doubt the best in the business. If you're looking for an A+ team to help you plan your destination (or local!) wedding without the stress that wedding planning normally brings, look no further than KMC Destinations. I cannot recommend this group enough.

I reached out to Karen to help me plan the last 8 weeks before my wedding and honestly I wish I would have contacted her sooner and had her help me with the whole thing! I was stressed out and overwhelmed with all the planning and working out of state. Karen made it simple! She made me feel at ease and that she would be there for every hiccup or bump that appeared, and she was! I picked my florist before hiring Karen and they fell thru the week of my wedding. Two days before my wedding Karen had me a new florist at a reasonable price that far exceeded my expectations! Use her vendors! She knows what she is talking about! Basically Karen is amazing! She makes it all seem so simple and stress free. I love that she is very honest and real! I would hire her again in a heartbeat! Thank you so much!!!

Karen and her team pulled a beautiful and intimate wedding together in two months! Always professional, and a joy to work with. I left everything in her hands and did nnmot even see the event site, meet the caterers, or even meet the photographer until the day of and was not disappointed. I left everything in Karen’s hands. Thank you so much for giving us such a beautiful day Karen.

We hired Karen and her team for day of coordination. She helped us speak with vendors, coordinate schedules and make us feel comfortable with the flow of our wedding day. We are so thankful for all the support we got from KMC on the best day of our lives! Karen and her team are nothing short of amazing!!

Karen, Sydney and Jasmine were absolutely amazing and we were so lucky to have you be a part of our wedding day. I met Karen at a florist appointment, when it was very evident I was in over my head thinking I could do all the wedding planning myself. These ladies exceeded all of my expectations and helped our wedding day run smoothly and perfectly. Sydney was amazing for answering every single one of my millions of phone calls and emails! I am so thankful for everything you have done for us!!!

Karen and Sydney were amazing. From the beginning Karen helped point me in the right direction to make sure my day was just as I wanted it. They were kind, thoughtful, and professional! All of my questions and concerns were addressed in a timely fashion, and I felt like they really got to know me. From planning to the follow through and the day of service, they were exceptional! I’m really going to miss them!

Karen and Syndey were life savers when it came to planning my wedding. After foolishly thinking I did not need a wedding planner, they jumped in 2 weeks before my wedding and were the most important part of making my dream dat come true! I honestly believe I could not have done it without them. From coordination with vendors and the venue, to helping me make sure I had every detail taken care of before the big day, and of course the execution of my vision on my wedding day, I could not have asked for more from KMC! They will truly to ANYTHING to make sure your day is perfect! Take it from someone who loves to be in control and 100% didn't think I needed a wedding planner or coordinator, DO IT, and hire KAREN- it will be the best decision you make for your wedding!

I happen to meet Karen at an appointment to pick my wedding stationary. At that point in my wedding planning, I was starting to feel overwhelmed by the details involved. We met shortly after and I decided to accept her help with planning prior to and with her day of services. It was the best decision I could have made for our wedding! From the moment we met, Karen was friendly, professional, supportive, and fun. She was able to capture my vision and go above and beyond what I wanted and could have imagined. Every detail was beautifully executed. My family and I were able to enjoy the day knowing Karen was there and had everything handled. I highly recommend Karen and her team and, honestly, I don't know how other brides do it without her.

Karen was essential to our wedding day. We got married at Rhinegeist where they do not provide day of coordination so I was nervous from the get go. Karen and her team absolutely exceeded our expectations. She’s incredibly talented, professional and really knows the business. We owe our perfect wedding day to her!

Karen's "day-of" services were exceptional, but so was the planning and coordinating she put into the vendor timeline prior to that! She and her staff helped the day of my daughter's wedding flow seamlessly from maintaining the timelines, to decorating to being the last ones our the door! They made the day just about as stress-free as it can get! Thank you! I highly recommend Karen!

As a photographer and photobooth owner, I work with a lot of different planners here in Cincinnati. Without doubt Karen and KMC is one of the best in the city. Every event I've worked with Karen and her team has been run seamlessly. They make being at that event FUN and completely free of the stress that can come along with a wedding or event. Can't recommend KMC enough!

Well where to begin? It felt like we have known Karen forever!! We started planning a little over a year before the wedding. She was absolutely amazing with everything from our budget to helping me find a dress =) Since my husband and I were paying for our own wedding we had to be strict on the budget. But Karen was great she found amazing vendors for us to work with that would fit into our budget. She was there with me every step of the way. I definitely couldn’t have done it without her. She is so pleasant to work with. She definitely had to calm my nerves a few time through out the journey... lol But everything worked out and the wedding was AMAZING!!! I could not have asked for anything better. The ceremony and reception decor was so beautiful. She gets to know you so well and what you expect, and somehow she exceeds those expectations. Which I for one did not think anything could exceed my expectations but she DID! Well words cannot express the gratitude that I have for Karen and her team. We definitely would recommend Karen to anyone. Thanks again to Karen and her girls for being a part of our big day!

Karen was absolutely fantastic! She had great ideas when I wasn't sure what I wanted and always made sure what she suggested was in budget. Her enthusiasm and positive attitude helped me keep my bridezilla side in check through out the whole planning process. My "big day" went as smoothly as possible and I didn't have to worry about a thing because I knew everything was in the best possible hands. Thanks, Karen!!!
