About

CONGRATULATIONS on your engagement! This is one of the most exciting times in your life. Along with the excitement comes making decisions. A lot of them. More than you ever dreamt there would be.

Your decision as to who will officiate and coordinate your ceremony is one of the first and most important you will make. As an officiant, it’s my job to guide you through the most important moments in your life. We are not all equal. We vary in style, presentation, delivery, and philosophy. Make sure you choose someone you have a connection with and, most importantly, someone you trust.

Whether your ceremony is an intimate affair for two or it’s a large ceremony with all of your friends and family, it should be designed to reflect your personalities, your wants, needs and your unique partnership. It should enhance your special love story. I specialize in semi-religious, interfaith, non-religious, second marriages, vow renewals, commitment ceremonies, and ceremonies involving blending of families with children.

I proudly serve couples in Sanibel, Captiva, Punta Gorda, Fort Myers, and Naples and throughout Southwest Florida. You should have your wedding where you heart is and it should be the wedding of your dreams.

My name is on my company and I love what “I do”! Let’s make YOUR day the perfect start to your happily ever after! ~Kari

Exceptional Experience with Kari!

We are beyond grateful to Kari for making our ceremony so special! From start to finish, she went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. Her organization, professionalism, and communication were exceptional throughout the entire process.

She worked closely with us to write beautiful vows that truly reflected our love story, and took the time to carefully organize every detail of the ceremony at the rehearsal, making sure we felt completely prepared.

Just before the ceremony, she came to visit me in the bridal suite to check in on me, make sure I was feeling calm, and, to my surprise, reminded me to drink water (something I totally forgot to do in the chaos of the day!).

Thanks to her attention to detail and calming presence, our big day was stress-free and beautiful. I cannot recommend her enough – she was truly a gift to our wedding and helped create memories we'll cherish forever.

Thank you, Kari! You made our ceremony absolutely perfect.

Kari was super helpful and stayed in contact with my husband and i throughout the whole process.

Kari is very knowledgeable of her job and field and we couldn't have asked for a better person to help us plan our wedding.

Mother of the Bride

This was a Dream-Come-True wedding. It couldn't have been any better! Kari is the most wonderful, caring and professional wedding planner I have ever met. She truly went above and beyond in an unbelievably short amount of time (due to the groom's military commitment) to create a ceremony that was just beautiful, thoughtful, sweet, romantic and more than we ever dreamt of! I was certain she was channeling Walt D, himself, with the magic she was making happen! From exquisitely beautiful tropical surroundings to the comfort of the seaside, fully furnished condos delightfully decorated in Sanibel Island theme, nothing lacks perfection! Kari and her staff are utterly amazing, the best!

Beautiful Day!

Kari was wonderful to work with and we couldn't be more pleased. She listened to what we wanted for our wedding and made suggestions/recommendations along the way to help make it perfect. We chose to have a small intimate ceremony with just the two of us. The ceremony took place at a lovely spot at Sanibel Moorings, with a beautifully decorated driftwood arch and a flower petal sprinkled pathway leading to it. My bouquet and his boutonniere were made from hand picked flowers out of the properties gardens. Our vows were written just for us and the ceremony was more than we could have asked for. Kari and her staff were exceptional!

Our Wedding with Kari

Kari, without a doubt is one of the most down to earth people we have ever met. Her attention to detail, bringing our family together in our ceremony, was amazing. You feel like you have known her for a long time, after our first meeting. My wife and I highly recommend her

Best officiant ever!

Kari was awesome! She was extremely helpful and punctual and always made us feel like everything was under control. She deserves all the credit for our ceremony going as smoothly as it did. She consistently went above and beyond and I’d hire her again in a heartbeat.

A fantastic service, merci!

We are from France and had to postpone our wedding because of the current situation, Kari was a superstar throughout the entire process and was very flexible to make our dream come true: get married at sunset on the beach. An awesome organization and logistics from Kari made this day an unforgettable one. We were guided by her and trusted her every step of the way thanks to her great personality mood and smile. She's a real pro! We recommend her 100%. Merci beaucoup Kari! Y&M
