Karen Erwin of St. Augustine Weddings and Special Events was absolutely incredible throughout the whole process. She was very professional, organized, polite and willing to help ...
out however she could. She worked beautifully with all of our vendors and kept everyone on a strict timeline, which made the whole day run smoothly. We never had to worry about a thing the day of because Karen had it all covered. If there were any issues, we never knew about them. If you thought of something that needed to be done, she had already thought of it first. When it all got overwhelming for me as the mother of the bride, she broke it down and calmed me down. She was absolutely wonderful and
I would highly recommend her.

le. Her knowledge of wedding etiquette was so reassuring and she completely understood the vision and overall atmosphere my daughter was looking to achieve. Karen is the most respected wedding coordinator in Northeast Florida and has a very highly rated reputation among her peers which is very impressive. She knows ALL the very best vendors to use and works flawlessly with everyone to ensure your day is truly perfect. Words are really inadequate to tell you how truly appreciative we are of her and all she did that day and the months leading up to the wedding to create a magical day. If you are planning a wedding or any event in the St. Augustine area you MUST call her and pray...she is available! Simply the best of the best.

who works seemlessly with all of your other vendors. So discreet- if there was an issue on our day, we never knew it. She had wonderful recommendations when searching for the perfect vendors in the initial planning. Execeptional communicator not only with myself throughout the process but also with our vendors and wedding party. Keep in mind I live 3 hours away! I simply cannot imagine taking this planning journey with any other person. She accommodated every wish I wanted and executed them with grace. We will definitely work with Karen in the future for other events!
Having Karen working my wedding was a lifesaver. I honestly would have given up without her help and guidance. First off, she is extremely organized! She has sheets to fill out to ...
arrange every detail of the ceremony and reception. She gives great advice on any question you may have regarding the order of events, traditions, or other details that you don’t even realize until you’re a bride. She is extremely punctual and efficient. For me, her services started about a month before the wedding. She handled communication with all my vendors and coordinated the event timeline to make sure everyone was on the same page. Whenever it looked like there could be a potential problem, she already had a back up plan in motion. She got to know me, as a person, and understand which elements were most important to me. When the weather didn’t look so good, I wasn’t even worried because I knew she would have everything under control. The day of the wedding I literally didn’t have to lift a finger, everything was already planned and discussed in advance. Everything was displayed and decorated exactly the way I wanted it to be. Her excellent service allowed me to focus on enjoying the moments with my husband, friends, and family. She even treated my family so well, everyone was impressed with her work. Her assistants were also amazing! They went above and beyond to make the day everything I wanted. Overall my wedding was everything I dreamed of and more, it was executed perfectly, thanks to Karen and her team.
My personal experience with Karen lasted over a year. I was planning our wedding from a distance and needed someone not only that I could rely on for advice, but someone that I cou...
ld trust.
Karen exceeded my expectations on trust and execution. She personally took the time to get to know not only me but my family. One thing that still brings tears to my eyes is how well she treated my parents – I expressed to Karen early on that I wanted my parents treated as guests of honor even though they were technically the hosts of the wedding. Karen listened and went as far as helping me choose where they sat and serving my dad his favorite drink. My wedding was a magical day full of ease and excitement because Karen took the time to listen, and make it happen.
Karen also did a fantastic job of explaining the WHY behind our decisions. Karen has been in the industry for 10+ years, so, having her as a trusted source and sounding board for decisions was invaluable. An example of explaining the WHY is when she helped me choose a floral and décor vendor that had a showroom. I expressed to Karen I was having trouble visualizing and expressing exactly the look I wanted for the décor, so, she found a florist for me that had a showroom that we could go visit and mock up designs. That day turned out to be so much fun for my mom and me, and a memory from the wedding planning process that I will cherish forever.
I leave my wedding day knowing that I made every right choice – from selection of vendors down to the smallest detail of linen color or first look location – Karen guided me through it all flawlessly. She knows St. Augustine inside and out and her exceptional reputation exceeds her. I cannot say enough times that Karen is truly in the right profession and any bride lucky enough to have her as a planner is in the very best hands. I feel honored to have had such a trusted resource and now friend for the happiest day of my life.

ty of experience in wedding planning and event planning in North Florida. Everyone asks me how it was possible to have so much fun planning a wedding and my answer every time is: Karen Erwin.
The wedding schedule was absolutely perfect. She had every detail included on the timeline so that everything ran smoothly. As a bride who gets easily stressed, I found that the entire wedding weekend ran smoothly because of how the schedule was planned out. All we had to do was show up. And that is absolutely priceless, especially for my parents who were able to just enjoy the day without having to worry about details.
Detail oriented is probably one of Karen's stand out qualities. She takes note of every detail and thought from her bride and parents. We would be having a conversation a month before the wedding and she would reference something that I mentioned wanting in our conversation from a year before.
Karen and her team are a MUST HAVE for every bride and family planning a wedding. She helped us stay in budget and ultimately ended up saving us a lot of money. Planning a wedding out of town can be very tricky for some, but Karen was able to help us select vendors, travel plans, and accommodations that made all the decision making very easy on our end.
I cannot say enough good things about how amazing the actual wedding day was. I never felt rushed. I was able to soak in all of the festivities because I knew Karen would have everything handled. She brought our vision to life. Karen was there for us every step of the way. She was so easy to get in touch with throughout all of the planning. Very responsive to texts, emails, and phone calls.
A wedding planner is the best investment you can make in your wedding planning and if you want the BEST, get Karen Erwin.
Karen and I worked together for almost a year and a half on my wedding. She is amazing to work with. She is part consummate professional and part fairy godmother all rolled into ...
the most amazing wedding planner. Our wedding went smoother than I ever expected and was beyond my expectations. Karen is the best!
