About

Planning a wedding is a journey. Our first step in that journey is to explore how you envision the final destination. We want to get to know you! We are not just planners; we are advocates for you throughout the entire process. Often, when we first meet our couples, there is a recurring theme of excitement and stress. Harnessing that excitement and eliminating that stress is our first priority. We have perfected the art of making the planning process simple, however our design acumen is anything but…

From traditional to modern, from sophisticated to relaxed, we are known for our flawless execution and the stress-free experience that we provide our clients. From the initial consultation throughout the entire journey, our couples are enthusiastic but relaxed.

Our brides from Southwest Florida and beyond, rave about our exceptional attention to detail and how we provide an extraordinary experience from concept through completion. From a beautifully designed reception at a private residence on Captiva Island to the smallest detail of a perfectly tied bow on the back of Chiavari chair at a Sanibel venue, we cherish every detail. Whether you envision an intimate beach wedding in Naples or an extravagant affair on Marco Island, KC Weddings & Events has the experience you expect to bring your wedding day dreams to life.

We take pride in the many relationships we’ve cultivated with the top wedding professionals in Southwest Florida. This ensures that you will have access to the best vendors and venues perfectly suited to your budget and vision. The difference between an ordinary wedding and an extraordinary wedding is the KC Weddings & Events experience.

A “Yes!”, a kiss, then wedded bliss!™

Kara Made Our Wedding Day Absolutely Perfect

Our experience with KC Weddings & Events was truly a 10/10 — we can’t imagine our wedding day without Kara! From the very beginning, she was incredibly detail-oriented, attentive, and responsive, making the entire planning process feel smooth and stress-free.

What stood out most was how Kara kept us on track every step of the way — answering all of our questions promptly, staying organized, and making sure nothing fell through the cracks. On the day of, we were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment, knowing Kara had everything under control. She even handled a few unexpected situations without us even knowing, which just goes to show how professional and capable she is.

If you're looking for a wedding coordinator who is calm under pressure, incredibly organized, and genuinely invested in making your day perfect, Kara from KC Weddings & Events is it. We’re so grateful for everything she did to bring our vision to life!

A wedding day must!

Kara was my day of planner. Even though I was extremely organized and thought out every detail possible, I needed her there to help my day run smooth. If you are on the fence just do it! Having peace of mind was half, Kara going above and beyond was the other half. I will always choose her if I had to do it all again. She was also my favorite vendor! Thank you so much Kara!

Stress free wedding day thanks to Kara and team!

We hired KC Weddings & Events about three months before our wedding date, and from our first call, we knew we would be in GREAT hands with Kara. The day wouldn't have run as smoothly without Kara's knowledge, professionalism, positive attitude, and impeccable attention to detail. Our experience with Kara and her associate planner, Ashley, was a 10/10. Kara helped plan our wedding in Naples from Canada, giving us expert advice and numerous fabulous vendor recommendations for linens, steaming services, glassware, photo booths, etc. Kara's associate planner, Ashley, also designed and printed all of our signage for our wedding, which turned out to be more beautiful than imagined. Kara truly cares about bringing the bride and groom's vision to life, and she was just as excited about our decisions as we were, making her such a pleasure to work with. We truly wanted to feel like guests at our wedding, and she handled the day's logistics, planning, and overall schedule like a seasoned professional. We wouldn't have been able to enjoy the day as much as we did without her. KC Weddings & Events exceeded our expectations. We're so lucky to have met Kara, and we can't thank her enough for helping us plan the wedding of our dreams. Thank you so much!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I had the privilege of witnessing the spectacular wedding reception arranged by Kara Cardinal. From the flowers that she arranged herself to the wish balloons sent into the air by well wishers, she truly did an amazing job of making the couples dreams come true. I would highly recommend Kara.
