Weddings and Events by Karolina

Karolina was such a huge help on the day of our wedding. I don't know how we could have gotten through the day without her. She came in early and set up my (many) DIY projects, decorations, and favors exactly how I wanted them. She communicated with me and my vendors throughout the entire event to make sure everything ran smoothly. And then she cleaned up at the end of the night and made sure I left with everything I started with. Not to mention all of the help she provided leading up the wedding, in terms of planning, communicating with vendors, putting together a timeline, etc. Karolina provided advice/suggestions for things that I would have never thought of. She attended our final venue walk-through and coordinated a ceremony rehearsal for us. Karolina's prices were reasonable and she was always available to answer my questions and quick to respond to texts, calls, and emails. Karolina was recommended to me by a family member and I would absolutely recommend her to others. If your venue does not offer a coordinator and you are thinking you can have a wedding without one, RECONSIDER. You cannot take care of these little details on the day of, and you shouldn't expect your family/friends to do so either. You NEED a planner or a coordinator on the day of your wedding and Karolina is an excellent choice.

Our wedding was this past Labor Day weekend. We began working with Karolina in January. We were so impressed with her attention to detail right from the initial meeting and felt comforted to realize how much she cared about what she did. For nine months she put her heard and soul in to everything for us which truly allowed us to enjoy the process and look forward to our big day. She worked with us and all of our vendors, attended all vendor meetings and really helped make sure all of the pieces were in place correctly. How did the big day go you ask? Seamlessly. Karolina was there to make sure that everything ran on schedule and correctly. We had no glitches but more importantly had the most beautiful wedding we could've ever asked for. Karolina simply cares about what she does and even more so for the couples that she does it for. If you are looking for as wedding planner we highly recommend that you give her a call. We will never forget her and the huge role she played in us having the most amazing day of our lives. -The Kelly's

Worth every penny, I don't know what we would have done with out Karolina. She helped facilitate our rehearsal and helped out a ton with details on the day of.

Karolina helped to make everything run smoothly as a day of coordinator. Even hiring her less than two weeks before, she was able to take charge and alleviate all our stresses. She even helped to think of things I’d forgotten about for the day and made it all a great success! I would highly recommend using her services. My only regret is not hiring her to help plan the whole thing!

Karolina was really great! She met with me twice before the wedding and she went over everything with me. She made herself available to me via email or text and was super great at responding right away. She had some great ideas and was super supportive throughout the process. However she wasn't able to make it to my wedding due to responsibilities of having to be at a rehearsal dinner of another couple that she had booked before me. This was something she could not have seen coming. But it was definitely stressful for me. She had another coordinator Ani who was there at the wedding along with a coordinator who was able to set up everything and Karolina was able to tell her all the details and everything went without a hitch!!! Karolina was really amazing!!! I could not have asked for a better coordinator for my wedding preparations :)

There is no one like Karolina! She helped us with our older daughter's wedding in 2014 and we knew that we did not want a wedding without her - so we hired her to help us for our younger daughter's wedding in July of 2017 also. In 2014 my husband had never heard of a wedding coordinator. But he watched her organizing and guiding us through the rehearsal and he could not say enough about how much she put us at ease with all of the details. The day of the wedding was just as smooth because she knew every tiny detail so that we could just attend to our guests. Then in 2017 she was magnificent again when second daughter got married at Montebello Estate in Lemont - any time we had a question, Karolina had already taken care of it! She is efficient, professional and responds quickly to email or phone. My husband and I want you to contact Karolina Warren for your wedding!

Karolina was wonderful to work with! While we only used her day of planning it was extremely affordable and she was always happy to help with questions/concerns we had. I would highly recommend her to anyone planning their future nuptials.

Karolina was amazing and super professional! She helped us in the planning phases for over a year before the big day, all vendors worked almost seamlessly the day of under her supervision.

Karolina was wonderful. Planning a wedding is stressful but Karolina's helpfulness, professionalism and caring will make the process go incredibly smoothly. She was a great choice!

TLDR: If you're looking for a top-notch wedding professional but don't require a major company backing you and dictating your every move, Karolina is an amazing planner and will make sure you have a beautiful wedding. For the lengthy review: My (then) fiance and I had began looking for planners 16 months out to put together a piece-meal plan to help find vendors. Karolina was responsive and managed to see us before we got calls back from anyone else. After about an hour consultation, we decided to go with her most comprehensive package. It was worth every penny! There is nothing more invaluable than a planner who comes in from the very start and gains an intimate knowledge of your wedding. Karolina makes sure to learn every detail and with her expertise, brings your vision to fruition. All the florists, venues, caterers, etc. knew her and were incredibly glad we had her on our team. She made sure to simplify the vendor directives to make sure they perform well and brings with her years of experience to know what can be done. At about about 3 weeks prior to the wedding, we realized just how great of a decision it was to work with Karolina. She had timelines, breakdowns, you name it. And on the big day, she was the filter between vendors and us. As much planning as you do as a couple, there will ALWAYS be questions at the wedding since your vendors are not as prepared as you think. The last thing you want to do is be worry. Karolina runs point, she takes care of all of that so you don't have to. And if you have her from day one, she'll know every last detail of your wedding. On the big day, it rained at an outdoor wedding. Miraculously, almost everything fell into place just as we had hoped (can't avoid mud in the rain in the woods!). I remembered looking at my watch about 2 hours in and thinking we somehow hit the timeline without a hitch. I knew then Karolina was the right decision. The wedding turned out just the way my wife and I wanted with no regrets.

Karolina made my wedding effortless. When I met her, I had only selected a venue and was desperate for guidance. She narrowed down the vendor search to 2-3 recommendations for everything, which was a HUGE time-saver. The vendors she recommended were so unbelievably talented and professional. I was happy with every recommendation I received. She assisted in setting up meetings and jumped to my rescue when problems occurred. (For example--I had a bad first hair trial, and I couldn't get a response from the vendor to set up another trial. Karolina contacted the vendor immediately, and I got a response an hour later.) She checked in with me every month and responded to emails and texts within hours. I didn't even need my own timeline--she kept my wedding planning on track with every step. You can tell she is very experienced, and she thinks of all the details that a bride might forget. My reception was at the Adler Planetarium. I believe Karolina had never coordinated a wedding there, but she is so competent that she made me feel like I floated through the day--I had no stress, and I didn't have to think, coordinate, or plan anything the whole time. She is tasteful and made the venue look glamorous. She kept the timeline for the night on track. She only contacted me once or twice the whole night about easy things--the rest of the time she worked in the background to make the night flawless. She even thought to save snippets of my decorations and the photobooth album for me (I definitely would not have thought of that by the end of the night!) The other great thing about Karolina is that her personality is perfect for this job. During meetings she is sweet and easygoing, but she has an air of competency that lets you know she has everything in control. I was so happy to have worked with her--my wedding was perfect, and I owe so much of that to Karolina!

Karolina is very helpful and outgoing! My wedding turned out perfect even after the last minute changes we had to make. She is exceptional at keeping the bride calm on the day of the wedding and with me that's not an easy task! Throughout the last 7-8 months, she has kept us on track with checklists and timelines, not to mention her preferred vendors are amazing! My husband and I are very pleased with her work! Thank you so much Karolina! Everything turned out amazing!

Karolina was wonderful to work with. I worked with her as my day of coordinator. She checked in frequently months before the wedding, responded quickly to my emails, and handled everything very professionally. Most importantly, she is very organized and took care of all issues without me even knowing on the big day. I would highly recommend her for any wedding!

Karolina is the best! She made sure everything went smoothly the day of my wedding so I didn't have to worry about a thing! She met with me a couple of times in person to talk through all the tiny details and talk about things that I didn't even think of! She is incredible! Everything went smoothly with no issues!

Karolina was fantastic! I used Karolina for "day of" wedding coordination and I must say that I could not have pulled off this wedding without her! I felt so confident knowing that she was helping the wedding day go smoothly. Karolina was so wonderful to work with from the very first day.. always answering any questions I had and was very prompt with her responses. Karolina kept up to date with my plans during the entire process so that when it came time to contact and work with vendors, she knew everything she needed to know. If you want a stress free wedding day, Karolina is your girl. Thank you so much for helping to make my wedding day perfect!

We used Karolina's 'day-of-coordination' services and were very happy we did! She was friendly and easy to get along with. Even though she was 'day-of', she contacted us weeks beforehand and reviewed our vendor contracts and contacted and confirmed our vendors the week before our wedding. We were especially grateful to have her when our photobooth didn't show up at the reception!!! She used her personal contacts to find us a replacement who showed up in less than an hour, and honestly the replacement was better than the one we had booked! For that reason alone we can't say enough good things about her! I felt relaxed and calm the entire day knowing that Karolina had everything under control and would take care of any hiccups for us!

We met Karolina through my cousin who got married last year . Karolina was the best decision we ever made for our wedding . She made sure everything went smoothly and drama free . We loved how she was willing help no matter what the suitation is . If we didn't hire Karolina for the day of we would've been lost or worse . We will definitely recommend Karolina to our friends and family is who is in engaged and soon to be married .

Karolina and her assistant Ann are worth every penny. We were planning a small wedding where 100% of the guests were from out of town. Karolina and Ann's attention to detail allowed us to spend more time hosting and celebrating than sweating the small stuff!

Karolina was a great asset to our wedding, we don't know what we would have done without her. From helping at the rehearsal, to the church on the wedding day and finally to setting up and keeping us on schedule, she was great! Definitely a vendor that I appreciated and never regretted.

Karolina was such a blessing on our wedding day. Not only was she extremely helpful in the planning process, but she was an amazing Day of Coordinator as well. She helped us create our Day of Timeline so that we had our day as organized as possible. She also contacted all of our vendors prior to our wedding day to ensure everyone was on the same page and would follow the timeline. After meeting with Karolina in person, I knew she was the perfect fit and I was so relaxed on our wedding day because I knew that Karolina was behind the scenes making sure everything was running smoothly. Even with a few last minute changes to our timeline the day of, everything went perfectly at our reception and it was so nice to have Karolina by our side!

If I could give them Ten stars I would. Absolutely amazing service. From the first meeting until the day of the wedding they went way beyond expectations. It takes special people to make everything perfect despite the flaws of other vendors. They worked around a schedule restriction that was a last minute surprise from the venue and even added a second resource on the day of the wedding to get everything done on time. We received so many compliments about the decorations. They really made the venue look so beautiful both inside and out. I highly recommend these folks.

Karolina was my right hand when it came to the wedding and wedding planning. She was organized, professional, prompt, and calm, everything I could want in a wedding planner and more. I was referred to her by 2 of my friends AND my sister. I saw her work in action and I felt CONFIDENT that my wedding day was going to go by flawlessly. She responded to ALL my emails and texts quickly. If there was something I did not want to take care of, she handled it. I HIGHLY recommend her if you want your day to go by flawlessly. The week before the wedding many of our friends and families asked if I was nervous about the wedding. I responded, "Absolutely not. I have Karolina, I know everything will go smoothly." And of course it did. If I needed anything, Karolina was a text away. I wanted to give away LED glow tubes during dancing and I told her just to give it to my guests from the box it was shipped from. She had a brilliant idea to turn on each glow tube before we give them away to our guests and it looked AMAZING in pictures. THANK YOU KAROLINA!!!!!

If you're looking for a wedding planner/coordinator...look no further! Karolina from Weddings and Events by Karolina is amazing! We hired Karolina from a recommendation from our florist who had worked with her in the past and said she was THE BEST! I contacted Karolina that same day and she responded back very promptly. We met with her that week and hired her the same day for wedding day of coordination. Karolina began working with us two months before our big day contacting and taking over communication with vendors. She was always in communication with me to make sure she was aware of all details, changes, additions, etc. She helped answer a lot of questions I had about the day of and helped put my mind at ease. On the day of, Karolina was beyond amazing and went above and beyond. I was a DIY bride and had A LOT of decor to set-up. Karolina set up and cleaned up everything, managed all the vendors (including some difficult ones), helped everyone stay on the timeline, and helped make our day perfect. We could not have done it without her. Many of our guests came up to us the next day and told us how impressed they were with Karolina. I would strongly recommend Karolina to anyone who is planning a wedding and looking for a wedding planner/day of coordinator. She is prompt in her responses, professional, extremely organized, detail oriented, great time management skills and easy to get along with. Karolina truly helped make our day a success. Thank you Karolina!

Karolina is not only a wonderful planner, but a wonderful person. My big day went so well, and I know it wouldn't have gone as smooth without her. She was there every step of the way, keeping us on track and under budget! I not only recommend her to family and friends, but to all the brides I run into. Thanks again, Karolina!

Karolina was great! We used her as a day of coordinator and she made everyone a month before the wedding a breeze. She attended meetings with our venue manager and organized the rehearsal. The week prior she reached out to all of our vendors and was able to keep everything organized. My husband and I had hectic work schedules the weeks leading up to the day and she was able to take the lead on any loose ends. The day of the wedding I had nothing to worry about and was able to relax while everything was taken care.

Karolina is amazing!!! I used her as my day of coordinator, but she did so much more than that. She responds to emails very quickly, was always early anytime we met and extremely helpful in anything I asked from her. She helped set up decorations the day of the wedding and made sure that everything ran smoothly. I can not recommend her enough! I am so happy that we decided to work with Karolina!

She is absolutely amazing. Very organized, fast response times and just a pleasure to work with. She truly made our day come true.

Karolina was so helpful during my wedding planning process. I hired her for my wedding back in May, and she also helped plan one of my friend's weddings as well. I chose the full wedding planning package, and it was absolutely worth it. There will be points during wedding planning when you need help, want advice or just don't know what to do. Karolina did all those things for me, plus more! She was a great asset, and I relied on to help us review our contracts and make sure we weren't missing anything. Additionally, my family surprised us with not one, but two dances during our wedding reception (one of them being a a flash mob). And I'm sure Karolina was dealing with a flurry of emails from my side of the family, trying to coordinate everything. And we had no idea! :) Karolina was a gem, and I highly recommend her.

Honestly, I can't recommend Karolina enough. She was such a joy to work with, she was on top of everything, and she was incredibly responsive to any request I sent her way. I pride myself on being on top of my game, and I am so glad I hired Karolina to handle the day-of burdens for the wedding since I could not be in two places at once (much to my chagrin). As an example of Karolina's prowess: she organized ALL the decor for the reception (I had a lot of DIY projects and she skillfully set up everything), she had the entire wedding party (14 attendants, parents, and bride and groom) ready to go at all times, she also handled some last-minute issues with the vendor (they didn't plate a few of the desserts and my mom asked Karolina to locate them - she did, and they were out instantly!), she also helped us locate the wayward limo and handled a very difficult dress bustle. She's pretty awesome and her rates are really reasonable considering the wedding price madness.

I'm the mother of the bride. I contacted several wedding planners for day of coordination. My daughter and I are both total control freaks and I had to convince the bride and groom that we needed help. Once they met Karolina they were totally sold! Karolina made sure that everything my daughter wanted and planned for went exactly right. She was so organized and detail-oriented. There is no way on earth we could have done it without her. Even the other vendors told me they enjoyed working with her too. She took care of every detail and made sure that we had everything at the end of the night. I can't recommend her enough! THANK YOU, Karolina!!!

Weddings by Karolina went above and beyond for our wedding. Not only was Karolina extremely responsive, she went out of her way to assist us with the planning and execution of our actual wedding day. From helping us find vendors, putting together a day-of timeline, set-up, and keeping us on schedule for the entire day, we really could not have asked for more. Anything we needed, she provided. She's extremely organized and had an answer to any question we had. I would recommend her to anyone and can not give her enough praise for everything she did to help make our special day carefree and fun!

Karolina was truly amazing on our wedding day. We had a lot of DIY decorations that all had to be set up the day of. Our event venue also had a coordinator that was supposed to help, but Karolina put everything together on the big day. Everything came together so beautifully -- even better than I had imagined -- and she made it seem so easy. She was also truly amazing throughout the process -- she always had time to talk things through and give recommendations. We certainly could not have gotten through the evening without all her help. Karolina is AMAZING!

I would hire Karolina again in a heartbeat! My wedding went flawlessly and I know a large chunk of that was due to Karolina expertise. I had interviewed about 4 planners right after i got engaged and she was by far the most personable, the best value (we had a budget!), asked me the most questions, etc etc. I could go on and on but long story short I knew I wanted her to be a part of my big day right away! Leading up to wedding: I probably emailed her a thousand times and she always responded right away. No question was too small for her--she even emailed me to check on me when I hadn't sent her anything for a 2 week span. She saved me so much money with vendors she knew---and they turned out to be awesome! I have already recommended hair and makeup / florist to many of my other engaged friends. She also sent me monthly checklists--which yea are on the knot/in planning books-- but it made it seem more real/ more important to get done when you had to respond to an actual human that you completed these tasks! She also called all the vendors the week of the wedding to make sure everything was set. one less thing on my checklist that week! The rehearsal went flawlessly because of her as well. Everyone (even my skeptical bridesmaids who didn't think I needed a planner) LOVED her and couldn't stop saying how much of an asset she was that day. THE DAY OF: I am a nervous/control freak person as it is and was a giant ball of nerves the Friday and Saturday morning of my big day. But then she arrived at 11am and I felt way more relaxed! She has a GIANT e Kit which we ended up needing quite often! Once she arrived she started to help corset my bridesmaids, retrieve our marriage license to bring to the church, set up emergency kit, showed florist where to bring flowers (my fiancé and I were getting ready in 2 separate suites) and probably 1000 offer things I didn't notice! She even brought a cooler of extra liquor to the church to put on the limo so we'd have it after the ceremony! I could go on forever but if you are looking for an awesome day of coordinator you should hire Karolina! stop reading other reviews and just email her! happy planning

Having Karolina as our day of coordinator was one of the best decisions we made. She helped with so much more then just the wedding day. She was in contact with me throughout the whole planning. She helped out so much with contacting the vendors and giving me tips and suggestions. She made my wedding day morning more relaxing knowing that I didn't have to worry about any details because Karolina was taking care of everything! Karolina helped make my husband and my wedding stress-free and very enjoyable! Thank you so much! We will make sure to suggest Weddings by Karolina to all of our engaged friends!!

Karolina was an absolute lifesaver. Before the wedding, she was not only someone that knew all the decisions that needed to be made but was also a wealth of information and advice while making them. Then, battling through a cold, helped pull off a wedding that was beyond what I could have imagined. She is professional while still being extremely kind, flexible, and helpful. I could not have asked for someone better.

Throughout our time with Karolina, she was very unorganized, forgetting many details that had already been discussed. We spoke to her a few times about her lack of organization and other issues, but she didn’t seem to correct them and they got worse. I ended up writing out all of the details to be sure that she wouldn’t forget and I also gave a copy to the venue as back up. It was very difficult /rare to reach Karolina by phone as she did not seem too comfortable with conversing with people via phone. She wrote long, extensive emails for me to respond to, ignoring my preference of communicating via phone due to my busy work schedule. Karolina’s true lack of organization was obvious during our wedding rehearsal (a disaster), as she did not know what to do or how to direct. She was more concerned with making sure she got her check. Our wedding party and officiate were lost because she did not bring copies of the ceremony schedule or the timeline. It was very embarrassing for members of our wedding party and the venue staff to keep telling us how unorganized and overwhelmed she looked, how much of an amateur she appeared to be, and how rude she was to them when they asked a simple question. Karolina’s busy wedding schedule may have contributed to these issues so she may need someone else to assist her with details prior to the wedding day. Karolina disappeared many times during our almost THREE hour rehearsal, leaving us to figure things out. Karolina could see how upset I was and asked if I was ok. I explained that she was unorganized and everyone could see it. She stormed off screaming “I am organized. I am organized.” This was one of the most unprofessional and bizarre moments I have ever experienced. Our officiate stepped in and provided overall direction, essentially “rescuing” the rehearsal. Karolina left without apologizing or even saying bye to me. We planned a rehearsal lunch immediately following the rehearsal, along with a Chicago bus tour, and a welcome reception. The welcome reception was our opportunity to greet our guest that had traveled so far to be with us; however, since we had a VERY unorganized rehearsal that put us behind 2 hours, we had to cancel it. Karolina did not get along with our vendors; we’re not sure if it was because she never worked with them, but I had to be the mediator for some issues they had. On our wedding day, our chair rental vendor called both of us because he could not reach Karolina. Our makeup schedule was completely thrown off because Karolina lied about sending the wedding day timeline to our makeup artist. Due to this makeup issue and the rehearsal debacle, I was very nervous on my wedding day, which is a feeling you shouldn’t have if you hire a wedding coordinator! I called the venue to ask for help and they informed me that they already began setting up because they saw how the rehearsal went and really wanted to step in and help us. We do not recommend Karolina’s services because she did not provide a stress-free experience that was expected and outlined in her contract. UPDATE TO KAROLINA'S COMMENT: Her comment about me be "fired from a wedding company" is not simply not true. I didn't even know that was possibly since I pay my money for a planner. Not apologizing for how much stress she gave us, as SPECIFICALLY cited above, not addressing her performance, and dismissing my review since she has 30 other positives, shows her true colors. You be the judge.

Karolina is super sweet, organized, and very professional. We hired her as our wedding day coordinator but she was always available in the months before the wedding whenever I had any questions or needed any help. Karolina performed many services for us including: * helping find remaining vendors who fit our budget * creating a wedding day timeline * contacting all vendors the week of the wedding * providing all vendors with the day's schedule * providing a bridal emergency kit * putting up and taking down the church decorations * bringing floral arrangements from the church to the reception hall * setting up miscellaneous decor in the reception hall Even with all Karolina did for us, there were a couple of things that really impressed me the day of the wedding. Right before the wedding, my mom wanted to change something in the ceremony. I started to get upset and would probably have gotten into an argument with her if Karolina hadn't been there. She spoke to my mom, calmly explained that changing things would just confuse everyone, and that was that. I would have hated going into my ceremony having just fought with my mother. Just having Karolina there to prevent that argument was worth what we paid her. During the reception, I had a couple of mishaps with my dress and Karolina's bridal emergency kit came in so handy! My husband stepped on my dress and tore the ribbon that held my bustle together. Karolina had safety pins which she and my sister used to create a makeshift bustle that I think looked even better than my original one! A little while later, I noticed I had some sort of light stain on my skirt. Karolina used a Tide pen and got rid of it within minutes. Thanks to her, I made it through dinner to our first dance without looking like a mess! I am so glad we hired Karolina for our wedding and would highly recommend her to anyone!

We used Karolina for our wedding in May and couldn't be happier. We live out of state, which can add to the stress of planning a wedding, but Karolina put us at ease. We used her Day of Services and she handled everything! She was available by phone and e-mail for months prior to the wedding. She was patient, kind and skilled. She clearly loves what she does and has a great staff to assist. You will not regret hiring her.

Karolina is completely worth her weight in gold! I was super busy with school in the several months coming up to the wedding so I knew that I would need major help in planning the wedding. Karolna was amazing as a partial-planner and day of coordinator. First and most importantly, she completely kept me on track with the planning process. Even though there were sometimes weeks when I was so busy I didn't even touch anything related to the wedding, she always sent me reminder emails for the next step. This kept me on track and kept me from getting overwhelmed. She recommended fantastic vendors who were reliable and with whom she had worked with before. And even when we wanted to pick someone new, she was so helpful and came to most vendor meetings. In the end, I ended up with an awesome team of vendors. In the weeks coming up to the wedding, she took care of all the final vendor confirmations and confirmations and alerted me of potential problems. She made a very detailed day of time line was super patient with all my last minute changes. The actual day of the wedding was very smooth. She was great as a DOC. I sent her super type A instructions for how to set up the decor before the wedding and everything was set up exactly as I wanted down to minute details like how the napkins were to be folded. If any problems happened, I didn't know about them (and still don't) because she was so on top of everything! It was amazing to just sit back and enjoy the day and know that Karolina had everything under control. I can't say enough great things about Karolina. Not sure if I could've done this wedding without her!

We used Karolina as the Day-of Coordinator for our December 18th, 2010 wedding, and she is the main reason that everything turned out so smoothly. I really wish I had used her services from the beginning of my planning process. From the moment I met with her she had already had her research done, a basic timeline written out for me, and a full proposal of her services. She was the easiest vendor to work with because she just had everything under control from the beginning. She is quick to respond to emails, she has a realistic vision of what you need, and she has a wonderful, calming demeanor about her. I was never more happy to hand over the reins to another person than I was on my wedding day. Every issue or concern went directly to Karolina, and all that was left for us to do was to enjoy our day and our guests. I highly recommend Weddings by Karolina to any bride because no matter what your needs, tastes, or customs are she will be able to work with you to make sure your day is absolutely wonderful.

We used Karolina Warren for our wedding on September 11th, 2010 at Mayslake Peabody Estate in Oak Brook Il. Although Karolina was my DOC, or Day Of Coordinator, she e mailed me throughout the wedding planning process with excitement, encouragement, and offers of help. During the entire process she answered all questions in a thourough and timely manner, and we planned for 18 months!!! Karolina coordinated all aspects of our wedding day. She executed all the details with perfection. Karolina worked with our Florist, DJ, Officient, Llinens, Venue, and coordinated our full catering and bar that was brought into the venue from the outside. She decorated the chapel that we would marry inside in case of rain. Thank God it didn't rain and we were outside but I could see the beauty of the inside of the chapel as the doors were open during our wedding. Karolina created timelines and distributed them to everyone and confirmed all of our vendors. Karolina executed my vision perfectly. She folded napkins and set out our escort cards on tables with only a seating chart that I had given her, everything was perfect!!!! Karolina helped coordinate our rehersal and when the officient couldnt find his notes, Karolina pulled them out in an instant for him. We were all very impressed with her organization, hard work and professionalism. Karolina worked tirelessly for 12 hours on the wedding day and at the end of the night helped pack the cars with gifts and make sure all the the things we brought to the reception were packed to go home as well. Nothing was missed!!!! Karolina is a delight to work with, she is a soft spoken, consumate professional who is excellent at her work and LOVES WEDDINGS!!!!!. When she revealed our room to us, my fiance and I were blown away. I cried then squealed with delight, it was so gorgeous with over 100 candles flickering that she had lit.... each and every candle. I wish I could post a picture here. Go to her website to see pics of her weddings. I wish I could give Karokina 10 stars, because to me, she was a perfect 10. You won't be disappointed if you choose Weddings by Karolina to coordinate your wedding. I truely was able to enjoy my day without worrying about the details because I knew Karolina would take good care of everything. We had a wonderful stress and worry free day because of Karolina. If anything went wrong, I didn't know about it, to me, my husband, and our families, it was a perfect wedding day!!! Thank you Karolina.... A perfect memory of your wedding day is the gift that you get when you use a wedding planner.
