Fantastic!!

I can not recommend working with Kara enough. My husband and I are organized and detail-oriented. At first, we were unsure if we needed a day of coordinator; however, it was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Kara provided lots of help leading up to the wedding, such as communicating with the vendors. On the day of the wedding, she had the perfect positive energy. She enabled us to not have to think or worry about any of the details of the day and just focus on the fun parts. Due to the weather, we switched to an indoor ceremony at the last second, and she was able to make all the necessary adjustments seamlessly. She exceeded our expectations, and many friends and family have complimented us since the wedding, saying how excellent Kara was.

Kara made our day run so smoothly!

Kara was amazing and always there when we needed her. The day of the wedding, she made sure everything ran smoothly and we had nothing to worry about. She checked in on us throughout the day. She made sure we got a second to enjoy appetizers from cocktail hour and had a drink ready for us at our seats. She had great communication and worked seamlessly with our vendors. We truly can’t express how thankful we are for everything she did. Even our family members noted how great she was. We would hire her again in a heartbeat. Thank you for making our day so special!
Love, Alex and Ryan
