AMAZING wedding planner!!

Karen with KWK Events is amazing!!! She made our dream wedding a reality! We live out of state and she made sure that every detail was perfect and fell into place. It was clear from the moment that we met her that she was going to make sure we got everything we wanted for our special day. She far exceeded our expectations. From helping us book the most amazing venders to helping with layout, decor, and timelines. Karen knows her stuff. Everything was beautiful, perfect, and came together smoothly. Karen made the wedding planning process a breeze. We had full faith in her and she definitely delivered! I would highly recommend Karen and KWK Events for all of your wedding planning needs. She is so easy to work with and a great person all around. We look forward to seeing her whenever we visit Red River again. Thank you, Karen!!

A fantastic resource for our dream day

I was very happy with all that Karen did for us leading up to, and during our wedding. We opted for the full planning experience. I was so glad I did! From picking a venue to last minute details they day of, she was instrumental in having everything go very smoothly. As a bride who hasn't been planning her wedding since she was small, I didn't know what I was doing at all, but I could lean on Karen for thoughts and direction. It's fantastic having an expert I could trust. Communication was very clear from the start. I highly recommend talking early and talking often - it went a long way to easing my mind as the big day got closer. Pre-wedding jitters are a real thing! She was very responsive. I got married just outside of Taos, but am from Northern California. She has all the appropriate connections for a wedding in the enchanted circle area. She truly understands how important this day is for everyone and is willing to go above and beyond to make sure all the little details are taken care of. I was so very happy with this day. Both my family and my husband's family really liked Karen as well. I highly recommended Karen's expertise and service!

If you’re looking for the perfect wedding planned to the minute detail with very low stress, I highly recommend putting your full trust in Karen Kelly

Her coordinating efforts are unmatched! I planned a destination wedding from Texas via phone and email. When I met Karen in person for the first time the day before my wedding, she felt like family. I will without a doubt contact her in the future for any coordination in the state of New Mexico!
