What can I say? Karen is the BEST! I reached out to I-do because we decided to get married 6 months after our engagement. I work a lot and am admittedly not a great "party planner". Karen put together our design, recommended fantastic and reliable vendors and made sure our "day of" went smooth and perfect. There was never one time that I thought "I could have done this myself" or had any concerns that things weren't going anything other than great. Karen had it under control. The level of detail and planning that goes into a wedding should not be left to just anyone. Please do yourself a huge favor and hire I-do to make the most important day of your life perfect!! It's the best investment you can make. Thank you Karen for your professionalism, wisdom, experience and patience. It was a perfect day!

We had such a fabulous experience with Karen, Brigid and her team at i-Do! My husband and I didn't have to worry about a THING on the day. Everyone was so well taken care of, and enjoyed the whole process immensely. Karen and Brigid are PROS, and would highly recommend to anyone. Thank you for making our day so special!

In a year filled with a lot of decision making, I think the best decision we made, by far, was to hire I-Do Weddings to help us with our event. Christina and Karen were fabulous to work with from the very start. They listened attentively to my daughter and her fiancee's vision for their wedding, and they made sure the wedding day was a true reflection of what the couple wanted. They recommended excellent vendors who were so easy and professional to work with and made the evening flawless. Our planning meetings were so much fun, and my daughters voice was always heard and respected. They helped us handle a few difficult situations with compassion and professionalism. The day of the wedding was SO much fun and stress free thanks to Christina and Karen's organization and experience. Both families really enjoyed themselves and were present for the beautiful and touching moments, that sometimes get missed if errands fall on your shoulders. Christina and Karen were the secret ingredient to my daughters magical wedding day, and we feel so very blessed to have had them be a part of it.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Karen and Christina. I feel so lucky to have gotten to work with them and involve them in our wedding planning process. From the moment my mom and I met with them, we had confidence that they were the perfect team to execute my dream wedding, and that is exactly what they did. Not only were they fun to meet with every time, but they allowed us to put our worries aside in order to truly enjoy the process of planning the wedding. They understood exactly what I envisioned for my wedding day and they always made it happen. They know the wedding business so well and they had wonderful recommendation for vendors from catering, to photographers, and hair/makeup. The week of the wedding was stress free because I knew I could trust Karen and Christina to make all the final details come together beautifully. They were such a calming presence for me on my wedding day, making sure every part of the day ran on time. I was blown away by the finished product of the reception space that day. Christina and the other vendors truly transformed Rhinegeist to be a magical location for a magical celebration. Every single detail was better than I ever magined. She really listened to my hopes for the day and got to know my fiance and I in such a way that our reception space reflected both of our personalities. Hiring I-do for our wedding planning process and wedding day was the best decision we could have made. I can truly say that I had my dream wedding because of them.

I-Do Weddings (and specifically Christina) was the best thing that happened to our wedding. I'm originally from Cincinnati, but planned my wedding from Chicago and Christina made it the greatest experience. She was always honest with us and helped guide us to making the best decisions for the wedding. She was always willing to help and answer questions. I trusted her to make choices for me when I couldn't be in town. It rained the day of our wedding and her professionalism and calm demeanor plus impeccably planning made the situation not even be a problem (which is the most a bride could ever ask for). Everyone at and in our wedding commented on how professional, organized and wonderful she was to work with. I would recommend Christina and I-Do weddings for anyone getting married (and not just in Cincinnati). Christina was not only my wedding planner, but she also became my friend.

I cannot say enough positive things about Brigid Nestor and Karen Montgomery of i-do Weddings & Events! Brigid was very helpful during the beginning stages of the wedding planning process to bounce ideas off of and was a wealth of information for me as a Cincinnati bride. She had a vast knowledge of venues and vendors and was able to give recommendations based on our budget. She also provided a timeline software that was easy to use, manipulate, and made planning the wedding week/weekend a breeze. Karen went over the timeline with me the week before the wedding and was able to provide suggestions on items that I had not thought of and also some areas where the timeline should be extended so that we would not feel rushed. Karen was invaluable as a coordinator the day of the wedding. She eased any anxiety, was a calming influence and allowed my whole family to be fully present without having to carry the responsibility of the details themselves, which everyone was truly grateful for. She was there every step of the way and felt like a member of our family who we love. She arrived on time, kept us on schedule and silently facilitated many other things that she didn’t bother me with. She was a point person between all of our vendors and helped the DJ queue up some of the important moments at the reception. She made sure everyone was where they needed to be throughout the day and was willing to help with anything. Karen provided our photographers a lot of assistance with keeping the process smooth and on time. We all feel very lucky that we had Karen by our sides on such an important day and are thankful for the special connection we developed. I thoroughly and heartily recommend i-do Weddings & Events. They blew me away with their professionalism, knowledge, genuineness and kindness. Their passion for helping others plan and execute their special day is evident the first time you meet them. They truly are who you want to help you plan and execute your special day!

If you're reading this review , chances are you're newly engaged. With that, PLEASE, do yourself a favor and invest in I-Do Weddings for a wedding coordinator. It truly will make a difference on your day. I don't even know if anything went wrong on my wedding day because Karen and her team were there to make sure everything was PERFECT.

I was so fortunate enough to work directly with Karen from I-Do. Planning a wedding is stressful; No matter who you ask. Karen was amazing at taking the lead and answering questions that I would never think of. Ex. "how would you like your towels folded?" Crazy, I know, but those are questions you're asked leading up to the wedding day and believe me, that's the last thing you want to think about. Karen was a life saver. No joke.

I'm so thankful for Karen and her team because I didn't worry about one thing on my big day.

We hired I-Do weddings to assist in planning our wedding. I am not originally from Cincinnati and my family and maid of honor lived out of town, so I was going to need help! Karen and Christina were AMAZING throughout the entire process. My husband and I were so impressed with their guidance to find vendors, setting up appointments, and keeping us organized and on track. They were both very professional and were quick to respond to questions and concerns. On the day of our wedding, we completely trusted Christina and Karen and knew our day would go smoothly and perfectly having them there, and it did! Now, 5 months after the wedding, my husband and I miss our meetings with them as they will forever be a great part of the memories we had planning our perfect wedding day!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
