Best decision ever made!!!

As we began thinking about all that needed to be done for the big day I became overwhelmed which is when my fiancé suggested hiring Karolina.
It was a relive to know that someone as responsive and caring as her was going to be there that day to take care of all the details and decor that morning.
She helped so much making sure everything was done on time throughout the planning process as well as on the day of.
We can’t thank her enough everyone had a great time!!!!

Day of Wedding went smoothly

Karolina was pretty on top of everything. My husband and I went over things with her which was reassuring. Day of Wedding we didn't have to worry about anything regarding vendors. She took care of everything including all the little details. I would recommend her as a day of coordinator.

Best decision I made!

I am so glad I hired Karolina for the partial planning. She provided monthly check list and answered all my questions throughout the planning process. She also referred me to some of the vendors I ended up booking with, and they were a great team together. Karolina contacted all the vendors with final day-of timeline before the wedding and I did not have to worry about anything on the actual day. She is very responsive, easy to work with, and great at what she does. Thank you again!

Wonderful to work with

Karolina was so on top of everything! She was diligent and new exactly what to do in order for our big day to run smoothly. She communicated with all of the vendors and came up with a fabulous day of timeline for us to follow. She constantly checked in to make sure we were on time with everything. I don’t think the day would have gone the way it did with our her preparation! I would definitely recommend her.

Karolina was a a coworker friend of my sister’s. When my dad found out about her day of services he said “I don’t care what it costs, see if she’ll do day of coordinating”. Her costs for day of coordinating are very reasonable. We were very pleased with her work! She made things go so smoothly! Very friendly and so nice to work with!

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.
