We couldn’t speak more highly of Kari! When my husband and I started planning our wedding, we knew we wanted something that was untraditional. We wanted to work with someone who could be responsive and help us build out a truly unique wedding experience. Kari immediately understood our vision and made our big day the wedding of our dreams. Kari is highly proactive and detail oriented, offering thoughtful suggestions throughout the planning process stemming from her experience. She has a network of trusted vendors who delivered above and beyond. Kari’s support allowed us to be fully present at our wedding — we didn’t have to worry about a thing.

We absolutely loved working with Kari. She just got the vision immediately, from our first call, and suggested us the venue we eventually booked before we even started working with her officially. Kari is so knowledgable and experienced and was really able to help make the whole experience so fun and smooth. The wedding weekend went even better than we could have imagined and all the guests were so complimentary. It was amazing to get to sit back and enjoy the weekend because I 100% trusted that Kari and her team got it under control.

One of the first pieces of advice we received when planning our June 2022 wedding was to hire a coordinator. We wanted to find someone who was calm, poised, experienced, and thoughtful. We found all of those qualities in Kari with Feathered Arrow Events!

Kari was already on our list of event planners to contact, and she was also recommended by our photographer, Brett Loie (who is also wonderful). We were attracted to FA’s embrace of color and fun on their website, as well as her experience with many of the venues and vendors we were interested in. We were convinced when, on the phone in Fall 2019, Kari exuded calm and flexibility that we knew would keep us grounded on the wedding day.

Kari flexibly created a package that included basic coordination and table & seating chart design. She gave us some wonderful visual inspiration that led us to a combination of luxury and budget items that flowed together seamlessly. Kari was always available to bounce ideas off of, and was also kindly honest when I threw a couple bad ones her way. She handled vendor communication with ease and we felt incredibly comfortable handing the entirety off to her as we approached the event.

On the day of the wedding, we were barely in contact with Kari - a very good thing. She confirmed the day-of timeline with us and our vendors in advance, and made sure we knew where to be when. We were able to enjoy the morning and early afternoon with the guarantee that she would make sure all the moving parts fell into place. There were a couple issues that she handled easily, and I can only imagine how many little things came up that I don’t know about.

All this is to say that we highly recommend reaching out to Kari & FA if you’re looking for a planner or coordinator that will share the excitement with you while also keeping a steady hand on the event!
