She'll think of everything!

Karissa recently helped to plan and coordinate a Celebration service for a family member. Her expertise in event coordination was incredible - she thought through every detail of the event - from utilizing space and making it as beautiful as possible to efficient food service. She helped us make all attendees feel comfortable and cared for. It was such a gift to trust the details to her, both in the days leading up to the event and the event itself. I cannot speak highly enough of her expertise!

Perfect Day!

Karissa was the perfect coordinator for our wedding day! She listened to changes I wanted to make, and everything went smoothly with no mishaps at all! It took the stress off of us to just enjoy :)

Cannot hire a better coordinator

Karissa is top notch at what she does. She is organized, she is fun, she listens to your ideas and makes your dream day come true. I cannot recommend Karissa more if you are looking for a planner and coordinator for your big day!

Our most essential vendor!

Karissa is a pleasure to work with! Every call we had with her was helpful and kept our planning on track. From helping us to narrow down possible vendors to vet to developing a personalized, comprehensive timeline for our wedding day, she can do it all! She was always responsive and patient with all of our questions. Because of her attention to detail, my husband and I were fully immersed in the joy of our wedding day and didn’t have to worry about a single detail. We owe that all to Karissa!

Couldn’t have asked for more!

Karissa was my saving grace! I truthfully could not have asked for a better wedding planner. She is extremely professional, very friendly and easy to work with, and narrows down every little detail to a ‘T’. She helped take away a lot of my stress, especially the closer we got to the Big Day, handling all of our vendors and contracts. I HIGHLY recommend Karissa for all of your wedding planning needs! She was amazing and so much more than I could have asked for! She helped make my husband and I’s wedding the most perfect day! :)

We are forever grateful for Karissa - she was exactly what we needed and kept everything running smoothly. We were at such ease knowing she had things handled and managed.

Great Experience With Karissa!

Karissa is very organized and will keep you on track especially in your final month of planning when things start to get chaotic. Having her on hand day-of was incredibly helpful and truly allowed us to enjoy our evening since we could trust her to have things run smoothly. Knowing that we would not need to handle anything with vendors before, during, or after the wedding (or make a family member or guest do this) was great. Other than being incredibly professional, she is such a pleasure to work with! We could not recommend her enough.

Outstanding!!

Karissa was the BEST!! She was so organized and remembered everything. We had to change our plans last minute several times due to the weather and Karissa made it seem so so easy and kept our day totally stress free. Our wedding was flawlessly executed and we attribute that 100% to Karissa and her hard work and expertise - we would have been lost without her.

Karissa is wonderful!

I can't sing Karissa's praises enough! She was a joy to work with from start to finish, well organized, and is excellent at her job. She made sure everything ran smooth, and took care of every detail so that my husband and I were able to relax and enjoy our wedding. I don't know what we would have done without her! She made sure we had our requested cocktails and appetizers ready to eat when we had some alone time right after the ceremony, she made sure the bridal suite was cleaned up at the end of the night, and she even managed to succeed in the difficult task of putting the escort cards in the corks I had cut, a task we struggled with and she willing took over. Those are just a few of the many tasks she managed to complete day of the wedding that was all done behind the scenes, leaving us to just enjoy the day. I highly recommend Karissa!

Karissa is a chaos coordinator!

Karissa is great! There are so many unpredictable things that happen day-of, but Karissa made sure that all of the vendors were doing what they needed to be doing on schedule. It was so nice to know that on the day of, I could hand off all of the planning and stress to Karissa and enjoy the day of my wedding. My parents noted afterwards that Karissa kept the show running smoothly behind the scenes, as well. She pulled off a great event! Thank you, Karissa!
