Karen Sent on 10/15/2025100% Recommend!!
Carin went above and beyond for planning our wedding in September! She is very knowledgeable, was easy to talk to, was responsive to all of our questions and our needs, and made sure everything was taken care of. She also made sure we got to connect with each other multiple times throughout the whole planning process, giving us timelines and reassuring us that we were on the right track to getting things done on time. During our wedding weekend Carin and Olivia were there every step of the way for us and our family. We also had many of our friends and family praise her for getting everything done/keeping everything on track. We are so happy we went with her, and we absolutely recommend her to anyone and everyone looking for a wedding planner! -

We cannot speak highly enough of Karen and her team. She was extremely easy to work with. Karen really took the time to get to know my now husband and I, and understand the type of wedding celebration we were seeking. She adhered to our budget but also personalized the event in every way. We continue to hear from friends and family that the event was one for the record books, which was exactly what we wanted. We are so grateful to Karen and her team and would absolutely use her again for any future events we might host. -

Sylvia Sent on 09/13/2023Fantastic!
We hired Carin and her team for full wedding planning only five months before the wedding [50 guests] with only the venue under contract. She pulled everything else together for us in that short time: the save the dates & invitations, the photographer, the band, the florist, hair and makeup, hotel room blocks, a dinner the night before and a brunch the day after. For some vendors she gave a couple choices and I ultimately chose, on others she only gave the one. Every single vendor was FANTASTIC and they all worked together seamlessly because Carin knows them well and organized everything perfectly.
We had sooooo many compliments on our wedding and it's Carin that made that happen. I suggest you hire her, and when you do, do what she says! If, months before the wedding, she says "get the thank you cards printed at the same time as the invitations, then you don't have to worry about it after the wedding". Do it. She knows what she's talking about! -

Dream Team
My husband and I worked primarily with Carin and Lauren and they went above and beyond to make our wedding day exactly what we envisioned! We worked with Carin's team as our partial wedding planners but it often felt like they were there every step of the way to bounce ideas off of and brainstorm how to best create a wedding that captured both my husband and myself to make it authentically us. While we were excited to begin the wedding planning process, we quickly learned that we needed help. Not only did we get help, but Carin and Lauren made it truly fun! They work together giving off an energy that is supportive and caring while maintaining transparency and honesty. Myself being a very type "A" bride struggled to balance some of the wedding planning pressures but Carin and Lauren's dose of reassurance and go with the flow attitude (whilst still being on top of every aspect of planning) was exactly what I needed. We appreciated their very nice but necessary pushes when we needed to make decisions that were difficult for us. They stepped up for us when we had an unexpected situation occur and took on a huge responsibility that was not on their to do list to help us out. Planning your big day requires surrounding yourself with people you can trust and Carin and Lauren were exactly that. If you are looking for a team that will have your back, put your interests first, and be your hype women -- look no further. I can't wait to continue my relationship with Carin and Lauren with the hopes to work with them for future occasions. Brides, if I could give my pre-wedding self one piece of advice, it would be to stress less and enjoy more -- this is entirely possible when you have a team like Carin's supporting you. -

Kristine Sent on 03/22/2022Absolutely perfect!
Sami was our day of coordinator and she was fantastic! She was great to work with leading up to the wedding day and was super flexible if I made any last minute changes. The day of the wedding was absolutely perfect! Everything ran smoothly, all the decor was exactly how I envisioned, if not better. My wedding day was simply perfect and I thank Events Extraordinaire for that! -

Karen Sent on 11/03/2021Exceeded every expectation!
Events Extraordinaire was the coordinator for my son’s wedding at 2941. Their familiarity with the staff and the venue helped to provide a completely flawless event. They took care of every need and if a problem ever came up it went away without us ever knowing about it. They stuck with us for a Covid 1 year delay and were flexible and helpful every step of the way. Completely awesome experience. -

Anita Sent on 11/10/2020Amazing wedding planner to work with!
Deciding to work with Carin might have been the best decision my husband and I made when it came to wedding planning! Planning a wedding for 400+ people across the country is no easy task and I am grateful that we had Carin by our side! Due to COVID, we made the tough decision of postponing our June 2020 wedding to October 2020 at a smaller scale. Carin made the process smooth for us by contacting all vendors and figuring the best dates based on their availability. If there was ever an issue, she would first figure out the solution before even telling you there was a problem. Carin is organized, creative, patient, and honestly fun to work with! Anytime I wanted to talk, she would make time to chat and our phone calls always left me feeling less stressed. We really appreciated her personalized approach over the past year. From the beginning, we could tell Carin truly cared about getting to know us and our family. She took the time to listen to our vision and priorities. She has an amazing network of vendors and we loved everyone she suggested to us. They worked with us to bring to life our vision while staying within budget. On our wedding day, Carin was attending to every detail and made sure that we were following COVID guidelines. Our wedding day was a dream come true, and all our families can't stop talking about it. I highly recommend working with Carin and her team to anyone considering hiring a wedding planner. -

Megan Sent on 09/05/2020Thank you, Carin!!
Carin was extremely helpful on the day of our wedding and throughout the planning process! We purchased a “month of” coordinator package but had a couple planning meetings with her throughout the planning process including several months before the wedding. She helped us come up with the timeline for the day (which worked out perfectly) and coordinated with all of our vendors to make sure they were all on the same page. She gave us lots of good ideas and suggestions to help make our day more special and/or run smoother. On the day of our wedding Carin was a life safer! She handled the setup at the venue and any of the little hiccups throughout the day (like a quick rain storm 15 mins before our outdoor ceremony) so my family and I could enjoy the day with no stress! Lastly, she was extremely flexible to work with when we had to reschedule our wedding from May to August due to the coronavirus virus (no additional fees or charges for changing the date). I would highly recommend her services if you want a low stress wedding day!! We can’t thank Carin enough for helping us have a perfect wedding day (even in the middle of a pandemic)! -

Couldn't Have Asked For More
Rachel Weisman of Events Extraordinaire didn't deliver our dream wedding, because she provided more than we could ever dream of. Dealing with her on a professional level was easy- she was quick to reply when we had questions, took care of all the little details behind the scenes, helped us navigate common wedding planning snags, and was always prepared and on-time. Rachel's ability to connect with us on a personal level, however, was the reason she was able to capture our vision. Throughout the planning process, it felt more like we were planning with a longtime friend who knew the ins and outs of our personalities. If you're planning a wedding soon, you would be foolish not to contact Rachel at Events Extraordinaire. -

Carl Sent on 12/06/2018Wouldn't have been the same without her!
Carin was an invaluable asset to our wedding day. I'm not sure how many grooms post here but given how essential and amazing Carin was I feel its the least I can do. Not only is she compassionate and fun to work with but as a former lawyer she is incredibly detail oriented and made all of the "work" of the wedding as seamless as possible.
Most importantly, the day of our wedding came with a few unexpected hiccups as most do. However, Carin and her team quietly and efficiently reconciled them all without the slightest interruption to the day. It wasn't until our flight to our honeymoon the next day that my wife even found out.
I cannot recommend Carin and Events Extraordinaire highly enough. In a process filled with 1000s of decisions, she was the best one we made and ensured our the day we dreamed of became reality. -
James Sent on 06/17/2018When my wife and I first started planning our wedding, we immediately realized we were in over our heads. Neither of us had a clear vision of our "dream wedding," and we knew we had to get a planner. Carin's name came up over and over as we crowd sourced for recommendation, and after we met with her the first time, we knew we'd be in good hands. Carin has an extraordinarily large network and a knack for pairing clients with vendors who suit the clients' personalities and tastes. She guided us on every decision and gently prompted us to ensure we met every deadline. She also really took the time to get to know us, so every component of our wedding felt like "us." In fact, she was so good at pairing us with vendors that we ended up going with her first suggestions for the venue, catering, and our flowers. She even designed our cocktail napkins herself! Most importantly, on the day of the wedding, neither my wife nor I had to worry about anything. Carin managed all the details, and we just got to enjoy the day. It's been a month, and our guests still rave about their experience. Working with Carin was the first and best choice we made in planning our wedding. We truly couldn't have done it all without her.

David Sent on 10/16/2025Excellent value
Events Extraordinaire (Carin and Olivia) were excellent. They provided full service, from planning the wedding to helping select the vendors to making the wedding day so easy that we could all enjoy ourselves and not worry about anything. They kept us on schedule without feeling pressured, reviewed all the vendor contracts and even helped with IT issues we had with the wedding website. They were very knowledgeable about various vendors and necessary arrangements and provided excellent advice as we progressed in our planning. I highly recommend their services. -

Maggie Sent on 12/08/2024Much more than a month-of-coordinator
Carin went above and beyond as our month-of coordinator for our wedding! We hired her with the expectation that she would take care of the typical last-minute logistics and ensure the wedding day ran smoothly, but she did so much more. She was a huge help in ironing out details we hadn't planned towards the latter part of wedding planning. She took care of guest transportation and did a phenomenal job designing our programs and name cards. The day of the wedding, Carin was indispensable, coordinating vendors, coordinating separate ceremony and reception venues, and keeping everything running with absolute precision. Nothing went wrong on our wedding day, and we have Carin to thank for that! -

Michelle Sent on 11/04/2020Professional and Detailed Oriented
Carin helped us understand our options in managing vendors, including the venue. Her relationships with vendors and understanding of their operations allowed us to get last minute items and bonus items. Carin really shined on the day of the wedding. She ensured everyone and everything was in place when need be, and this was no small feat with our families. The wedding went great and the bride and groom are happy. -

Wedding Planning
My daughter's recent wedding marked the 4th time I worked with Carin at Events Extraordinaire. She is a class act who will fight for her clients to ensure they get what they want. Carin is so creative and really helped bring our vision to life. Events Extra exceeded expectations in so many aspects of event planning from their creative ideas, to their ability to implement them, and for always going above and beyond to guarantee success and help make our event uniquely ours. I would absolutely recommend Carin and her team. -

Michele Sent on 06/24/2009Karyn did a good job keeping things running on the day of the wedding, however:
1. If I asked for a recommendation on a vendor, it would takes weeks to get two or three names
2. She recommended the limoe driver (who was bad)
3. I had to work around her schedule/kids (I thought I was hiring someone so I wouldn't have to take time off work to do this!)
