We just had our wedding on 05/04/2024 and I don't think it would have been possible without Karen! We hired her as a full planner about 1 year before our wedding date. She was organized, helpful, and was really able to bring our vision to life and more! She kept us within our budget, while simultaneously meeting all of our requests!

Correspondence with her was seamless. she would answer text messages and email so promptly. I would get a text back from her sometimes within minutes. She was so easy to work with and really knew what she was doing.

We found some of the best vendors through her and it really made our wedding day so special and stress-free! Karen was pregnant during most of the planning, yet she still delivered both her new baby 1 month before our big day AND when it came to working on our wedding, (yes, pun intended.). She seriously can do anything and was so amazing!

We are so very happy that we chose her to plan the best day of our lives and we could not have done it without her. We were so worried about things going wrong but everything turned out even better than we expected. Even our family members kept telling us how this was the most beautiful and perfect they have been to.

For anything we may plan in the future, we will definitely be contacting Karen and we highly recommend her to anyone trying to plan any beautiful event.

Thank you Karen for your hard work!

Thinking of hiring Karen and her team? Just DO IT! If we could give Afical Events a 10-star rating, we would! Hiring Karen for her 2-month + day-of coordination was the best decision that my now-husband and I could have ever made for our wedding day. From the first virtual meeting, the vibes were perfect. Karen was so professional, yet welcoming and personable. We did not even end the virtual meeting before agreeing to sign a contract with her. Although there was still roughly a year before our actual wedding day, and even though we had only requested coordination services, Karen was available for any questions or concerns that we had related to anything and everything for our wedding. Whether we asked about wedding etiquette, vendor recommendations or design suggestions, Karen was always either a text or email away. And whenever Karen provided advice, she ALWAYS ensured to keep our vision and budget in mind. This was apparent during the wedding, after a few of my cousins even said “this wedding was so ‘you guys.’” Once it came closer to our wedding date, even though my husband and I had very differing work schedules, Karen would always attempt to accommodate both of our schedules so that we would both be able to attend coordination meetings together with her. This really meant a lot to us because we never wanted planning to be one-sided and wanted to ensure that we all were on the same page.

Once the wedding day came, not only did she execute and create such a beautiful reception space with the decor that I provided her, but both my husband and I were completely 100% stress free all day. And… Our families LOVED her. She was so kind and professional with any questions or concerns that our parents had. And our guests are still commenting about how smoothly events transpired throughout the wedding ceremony and reception… We STILL continue to receive compliments about Karen and her assistant, Adrienne’s organization and professionalism! They both were working so hard from beginning to end, that my husband and I had asked once or twice about whether they were able to take a break at some point to enjoy and celebrate too!

We have no doubt that Karen will be that person that will help to create a stress-free, beautiful and memorable wedding day for you, if you choose to hire her! Making important events of an individual’s life truly memorable has become her craft - something that she has perfected. We are so appreciative and thankful for all the work that Karen did for us and would 1,000% recommend her for anyone that needs event planning/design/coordination services.

Trust us, you will be in very good hands with Karen and her team.

If you’re looking for calm, collected, EXTREMELY ORGANIZED, and professional; then Karen is THE ONE. She is truly a gem and she goes above and beyond with her execution of planning and day of event. Please do not hesitate to hire her! She is worth every cent!!
