Best Event Planner Ever!

My mom, Karen, is the best event planner out there! You might think I’m biased - rightfully so, but I have been privileged to see the countless events she has put together over the past 20 years. They all have been smashing successes! I will say, my mom will go to the ends of the earth to make sure yours is a success, as well, in your eyes and your guests eyes. If you need someone to take care of everything for you so you can enjoy your wedding day, please don’t hesitate to reach out to her!

Hi! I'm Karen Ricci. I started Karen & Company Event Planning in 2017. At that time, I was living in Upstate New York in the quaint town of Saratoga Springs. COVID changed things for a lot of people. For me it created a natural pause in my business. That coupled with our youngest daughter heading to college, my husband and I decided to move to Lakewood Ranch, FL. We had ties here for my whole life, and making the move was always a goal of ours. So now, here I am, enjoying meeting new vendors, seeing new venues and helping bridal couples achieve the wedding of their dreams!

Nicole has been a Florida native for the last 15 years, living in Tarpon Springs for a large portion of it, and now residing in Palmetto. She is Karen's right-hand girl. Where you see one, you very well might see the other. She absolutely loves the FL lifestyle - boating, pickleball and sunsets are among her favorite things to do whether it's with her husband, Hugo, or her besties. When there is a celebration to execute, there is no other person Karen would want by her side.
