Party of the Year

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.

Fantastic!

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!

Absolutely 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!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
