So amazing!

We cannot say enough great things about Karina, our day-of coordinator! From our initial conversations to the final moments of our wedding, she was an absolute lifesaver. Her organizational skills and attention to detail were remarkable, ensuring that everything ran smoothly.

Karina kept us on track with the timeline and handled all the logistics with such grace. She was calm under pressure and effortlessly solved any issues that arose, allowing us to fully enjoy our special day without any stress.

Her friendly demeanor and genuine passion for her work made a significant difference. We are so grateful for her support and expertise. If you’re looking for someone to help make your wedding day perfect, we highly recommend Karina! Thank you for everything!

The right decision!

I have received so many compliments about last night! Your smile, all night, kept me confident everything was going as planned. On a dime you were able to accommodate change when and where it was necessary to improve the mood, comfort and fun for everyone while helping to ensure the bride was top priority! We couldn’t have done it without you! Thank you!!!! -Mother of the bride

No need to look any further! Karina with MK Legacy Weddings & Events is the true definition of Event Extraordinaire

Choosing Karina as our wedding coordinator was one of the best decisions we made for our renewal ceremony. From the moment we spoke, she not only understood our vision but also embraced it wholeheartedly, turning it into a breathtaking reality.

Karina's kindness and patience were evident throughout our planning journey. She listened attentively to every detail we envisioned and meticulously planned every aspect of our special day, ensuring that everything was perfect for my husband, our two daughters, and me. Her ability to translate our dreams into a beautifully executed event truly exceeded our expectations.

Karina was not just a coordinator but a true advocate for us. She handled every interaction with vendors seamlessly, ensuring that everyone was on the same page and that every detail was flawlessly executed. Her professionalism and dedication were apparent in every interaction we had with her.

What made our experience even more extraordinary was the fact that Karina was chosen through Wish Upon a Wedding to plan our renewal. This foundation, dedicated to gifting weddings and renewals to families facing life-threatening illnesses, made our day possible amidst the challenges my husband faces with cancer. Karina's vision and expertise made this day incredibly special for us, creating memories that we will cherish forever.

The night itslef was nothing short of magical. Every detail, from the string quartet, floral arrangements and decor, to the live event artists, seamlessly came together under Karina's guidance, creating an atmosphere of love and joy that surrounded us throughout the evening.

We are immensely grateful to Karina for her exceptional talent, unwavering support, and genuine care throughout the entire process. If you're looking for a wedding coordinator who not only plans but also pours her heart into making your day magical, Karina is undoubtedly the one you should choose.
