I had been photographing weddings for 10 years by the time my own wedding came along, so I made an incredibly educated choice by hiring my friend and colleague Emily Butler of Karson Butler Events. Emily created the most playful and fun wedding look that my friends and family still rave on about today. Emily helped me select and sculpt a dream team of creatives to put together our masterpiece. Some people may think that tented/ at-home/ backyard/ outdoor weddings are easier than a hotel wedding but that’s not the case. Emily navigated a multiple day setup for an elaborate luxury tent, catering tent, bathroom trailers, as well as elaborate decor. To say that myself and my mother-in-law are difficult clients is an understatement but Emily navigated the seas with ease. Emily and her twin sister Amber are longtime veterans to the wedding industry and that experience and knowledge is key when putting together a luxury event with elaborate decor. I’m so thankful I had them on board and that they were the first vendor I hired on my planning journey.

Where do we begin to describe how much we love Emily and Karson Butler Events?! If you are looking for a planner, designer, friend to plan your perfect wedding weekend, look no further then Karson Butler Events! From the very first phone call to the wee hours of our wedding day, Emily, Amber, and Gabi were a dream to work with and I am so grateful to have Em in my life who I now call my dear friend.

From a planning and designing standpoint, Karson Butler Events leaves no stone unturned. They are meticulous with every single detail. Coming from a bride who was overjoyed with excitement while also slightly terrified of what all goes into wedding planning, I could not have asked for a better person to hold my hand through the entire process. From spending time getting to know us as a couple, learning what our priorities were, helping us through the tough budget conversations, sharing her knowledge and expertise with us for all things food, flowers, rentals, design, paper goods, logistics, details, etc, Karson Butler Events is simply the best! Em and the team help you build the bones first (tent, choosing your catering and floral and design partners, timelines, etc) while somehow simultaneously helping lead you through creating your vision, designing your save the dates and invitation suite, creating your registry, thinking through how many will be in your wedding party and what your wedding party will wear, what kind of flowers you like or don’t like for that matter, etc.

Karson Butler Events pours their whole hearts and souls into every detail of your wedding. Emily spent countless hours with us over the year via phone calls because she helped us plan when we lived out of state from our wedding venue, to scheduling all the important meetings when we were in town to make the most of our time, brunches and lunches because we love Em and wanted to spend so much time with her, and an unimaginable amount of hours the week or two before the wedding overseeing every single aspect of install. They are with you every single step of the way.

Not to mention preparing every contingency plan possible for a hurricane that showed up in the forecast one week prior to our wedding weekend. (Not kidding!)

Em, Amber, and Gabi are true professionals who we love so much! Our wedding was a dream come true and it is 100% thanks to Karson Butler Events for making it happen. Every person in our family to our friends still rave about how amazing the KBE team is and how perfect our wedding was. We will forever cherish the memories of our wedding day and that’s all thanks to KBE!

Amber and Emily are some of the best in the business and if you get to work with them you'll know why. Every detail of our wedding was thought out and beautiful. We had a small 25 person wedding weekend in the middle of the desert in California and KBE managed to make it exactly what we were looking for; from unique save the date boxes with live succulents for our guests, to custom acrylic signage with the perfect fonts... they think of everything. Even though we live in Savannah, GA and they're in DC and CA, planning was seamless with monthly phone calls and plenty of emails, I always felt like everything was getting done on time and really wasn't stressed.

Also, just because they're both beautiful and create stunning events, don't think they aren't willing to get their hands dirty. From picking up and moving chairs and boxes of liquor all the way across the venue, to helping clean up the post-dinner table, Amber and Emily were willing to do everything that needed to be done to make the weekend flow effortlessly for myself and my husband. Normally I am a type A control freak who doesn't delegate at all, but for my wedding I allowed KBE to take the reigns and I am SO glad I did. They are clearly experts in their field and they anticipated everything.

If you want a truly memorable, thoughtful day, where everything looks well-planned and your guests and you have a wonderful experience, you should hire KBE.

Simply the best!!

We worked with Emily and the KBE team on our wedding this past Winter in Brooklyn, NY. They relieved the stress during the entire planning process! From working with our vendors, coordinating the all of the little logistical details to flawlessly executing the day, they were a joy to work with and really allowed me to be in the moment and enjoy the day! I can't recommend the Karson Butler team enough.

I had the pleasure of working with Emily and Lindsey over the past year and a half and owe the wedding of my dreams to KBE! They made the wedding planning process fun and enjoyable, and kept me from being overwhelmed and stressed. They were incredibly patient and kind and helped transform abstract ideas and visions in my head into reality. They always asked helpful, guiding questions and thought through every possible detail of our wedding day. I came into the planning process with a mix of some ideas and vendors that I was determined to use and they recommend others that perfectly matched our tastes and vision. I had so much fun working with them and with their help, I was able to enjoy every minute of my wedding day, knowing that they were handling every possible detail. I think it's fair to say that my mom and I felt that KBE was our best wedding investment!

Amber and Emily are miracle workers! I was engaged for three months and they still managed to pull off the wedding of my dreams. They are responsive and incredibly easy to work with. They made the process fun, relaxed and listen to what is important to you. They knew exactly the vendors to work with and I couldn't be more happy with them. The smartest thing I did was use Karson Butler Events. My only regret with them is that I should have used them more!

Very helpful and took care of so many details that would've been stressful the day of the wedding. We did most of the planning and they helped execute day of the wedding and were very helpful carrying everything out and offering helpful suggestions. So friendly and great to work with!

Amber and Emily are so easy to work with and have amazing ideas that made our vision go beyond what I ever thought it could be. Even living on opposite ends of the country, it was so easy to comminucate and "meet" via Skype or phone and they even made the effort to travel to my venue in months prior to the wedding to check it out. They were just so fun to work with and bounce ideas off of and really understood the wants and needs for our big day.

I cannot express how lovely it was to work with Amber and Emily...again. They also helped to prepare my sister's wedding last September. We hired them again for month-of consultation for my wedding, despite having someone to work with at the Park Hyatt in DC. Having the girls there was an irreplaceable benefit. Not only did they help me to visualize a beautiful escort table, they also had so many wonderful contacts whom we used as well (Meant to Be Calligraphy, Laura Hooper map designs, etc). All of these elements really came together to make a perfect day. For our family, since we are always running behind, it was awesome that they did things such as deliver all of our welcome bags (after assembling them), stepped up immediately to call people (such as our photog when he was slow in responding), and were there to help lead people during the rehearsal. Having them there on the actual day was priceless. Not only do they have such calm, collected demeanors, they really help create that atmosphere on the day and keep you from freaking out! Having them as a team works so well: Amber will be off gathering guests onto the shuttles while Emily was up helping me and my family, or vice versa. They helped with so many little things on my day that you don't even think about: who is going to bustle the dress, etc? I threw my bouquet during some photos, and almost died laughing when Emily pulled out some floral wire from her purse to help fix it! If that is not an indication of their preparation, I'm not sure what else could be. They helped throughout my ceremony as well, grabbing my other shoes from my room, helping to pin something in my dress, taking down the escort table and setting up the thank you gift table....an innumerable amount of things, half of which I'm sure I don't even know about! Now I just wish I could get married again so I can work with them again... maybe a nice party at least :)
