Worth every penny

Karla was instrumental in the success of my daughters wedding. She was very responsive and helpful when I needed information regarding the venue and other vendors during this time. She kept everything running on time and flowing smoothly. I was planning from out of state so it was imperative that we have a good coordinator for this special day. Karla delivered! HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend!

10 out of 10

As the parents of the bride, you want your daughter’s special day to be magical and perfect. For that to happen, a LOT of things need to be considered and executed. Karla, without question, made it all happen. She worked with us in two phases; planning and execution.

In the planning phase she was accessible and quick to answer any questions or offer advice. We appreciated her expertise and relationships locally. That helped us navigate vendor selections. As all plans for the wedding day came together, we felt like this day was as important to her as it was to us.

The execution was an amazing wedding weekend. There were no surprises or hiccups (and if there were…we didn’t know about it and it was handled). Karla was there from start to finish…ensuring set up, ceremony, reception and clean up all went fine. If you want to enjoy EVERY minute of the wedding you’re planning...we have no hesitation in recommending Karla, Petals and Lace.

Fantastic Experience and the Wedding of my Dreams!

Karla and her team were so great for our wedding, I cannot recommend enough! Karla was extremely helpful and detailed the whole time leading up to the wedding, answering my many questions and helping me make the right decisions for our day. The vendors she recommended were also all amazing! During the wedding weekend and on day of, she was such a blessing to have - I was able to totally focus on getting ready and didn't worry about any details at all on the day. She took so much off of my plate and my family's plate, handling all the coordination and details, and we really were able to fully relax and enjoy the time, knowing it was all being taken care of so well by Karla. She is professional, organized, and is focused on making sure your wedding is just what you want. I was so impressed and thankful to have her guide the day so seamlessly!

Crucial To My Wedding Day

Karla was absolutely crucial to my wedding day! She is extremely professional, organized, proactive, and efficient. She is super reliable and it was such a relief to have things taken off my plate. She helped guide me through the entire process from our first conversation. She is well connected and recommended the perfect vendors for me to partner with. She is always extremely prompt to answer my questions. When I had concerns about anything from weather to logistics, she quickly assured me of the plan and put me at ease. Even after the wedding, she followed up with vendors on my behalf. She is an experienced expert and I highly recommend her.

Fantastic Wedding Planner 💜

I can’t say enough good things about our experience with Petals and Lace Events and Karla Crisp. Planning an outdoor wedding can be daunting, but Karla made it feel effortless. She is incredibly patient, kind, hard-working, and brings a calm, steady presence to every step of the process.

One of the things we appreciated most was her clear communication and honest feedback. Karla was always quick to respond, kept us informed, and wasn’t afraid to speak up when something could be improved or didn’t align with our vision. Her guidance was thoughtful and respectful, and it helped us make decisions we felt confident about.

Karla brought my daughter's wedding to life with beauty and precision. From the design to the flow of the day, everything was intentional and perfectly coordinated. She thought of details we never would have considered and made sure every part of the experience reflected our wishes.

On the day of our wedding, Karla and her team handled everything seamlessly so we could focus on enjoying the moment. We truly felt taken care of, and so did our guests.

If you're looking for a planner who combines creativity, reliability, warmth, and professionalism, Petals and Lace Events and Karla Crisp are unmatched. We’re so grateful to her for making the day as magical and meaningful as it was.

the most amazing team ever!

I did partial planning, but honestly would have paid for the fully planning. I wish I could have Karla with me all the time......talk about an amazing women. I would send her a text or email? *BOOM* response instantly. I would be feeling stressed or worried I didnt have things organized and then there is Karla with everything in order and a nice little printed out timeline for me to follow(im very checklist oriented so I loved it) . I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Karla and her team. She is so sweet and easy to talk to. I had so many people at my wedding literally say to me "This is the most calm and organized wedding I've been to" (I EVEN HAD GROOMSMEN SAY THIS) and It wouldnt have been that way without Karla. Without a doubt would hire her again in a heartbeat and not look anywhere else. Do yourself the favor!!! I recommend the partial or full planning! She takes care of everything.

Wedding Wonder-Woman!

From the moment we met Karla, we knew that she would be a perfect fit as our wedding planner. Karla is extremely organized, responsive, caring, and confident. I fully trusted her to help turn my wedding dream into a reality. Karla helped answer any questions that I had during the planning process. I could call, text, or email her and she was always there for me. She gives the best advice and has excellent relationships with other vendors. We used all of her recommendations for catering, DJ services, officiant, florist, photographer, hair/makeup, rentals, desserts, etc. I have always struggled to make decisions, but Karla assisted me along the way as I picked out each detail for my special day. I cannot thank her enough for her expertise and professionalism. Karla is a hard worker and she truly gave 110% into making our day exactly what we wanted. The weather was looking stormy/rainy, but Karla remained cool and calm. We were able to have our ceremony AND reception outside. Our wedding was beautiful and ran so smoothly. I am so happy that we had Karla and her team. I was able to relax and enjoy every moment of my big day because I knew we were in good hands. I would recommend Karla to everyone and anyone out there who is looking to plan a wedding! She will take great care of you and ensure that your vision comes true! Karla is the best of the best! My bridal party, family, and friends noticed how amazing Karla was! She is not only a dedicated planner, but she is also fun to be around! Please book her ASAP!

A Perfect Wedding Planner

As a Mother of the Bride, we could not have hired a better planner than Karla. Throughout the planning process Karla was professional, organized, responsive, caring and very knowledgeable. She knew our venue, Mt. Ida Lodge, and the staff which helped greatly for planning and the wedding day execution. On the day of the wedding, Karla kept everything on time and ensured we had a flawless day. Our guests had a wonderful time! We would highly recommend Karla for your special day!

Could Not Recommend Enough

Karla with Petals&Lace was the best thing that could have happened for our wedding. She was so patient as I constantly changed my mind, kept me organized, mediated tough conversations, and did way more behind the scenes than I will ever know about. I never stressed about my wedding day, the timeline, or vendor coordination because I knew she had everything under control. During the wedding, she was direct and made sure everything went smoothly while letting everyone enjoy the highlights and joy of the day. Karla is kind, professional while also inviting, and cares so much about the bride and groom and her work always goes above and beyond to display that. We are so thankful for Karla and cannot recommend her enough!!

Highly recommend!!

Working with Karla was great! She is super responsive and makes you feel like everything is under control. She has great relationships with vendors and made the entire day run so smooth! She even found us a dog sitter to come to the wedding site so we could include our dogs in our wedding day. Highly recommend!!

Bridal Glow: Hair and Makeup by RheaClare Bridal Glow: Hair and Makeup by RheaClare Wedding Hair & Makeup

I had the opportunity to work with Karla, owner of Petals and Lace Events, in September of 2017. I was a little out of my normal realm of things as I do hair and makeup, but I stuck around to assist Karla. It was a very rainy day and the venue did not have a rain backup plan. Karla quickly put HER backup plan and the wedding turned out absolutely beautiful. She knew that I had a white tent and had talked to me earlier in the week asking if the bride and groom could borrow it in the event it did rain. Karla set up the chairs for the ceremony in the tent, and decorated it so beautifully in order for the guest to be able to enjoy the ceremony with out getting drenched. The wedding ran so smoothly. I can not believe how quick Karla was to act on the lurker issues that tend to pop up as other vendors start to arrive, for example, the caterer was supposed to supply serving utensils for the meal, however there were zero! Karla has a wedding day emergency kit(this thing is a huge tool box, every planner should have one now that I’ve seen this). In her emergency kit she had serving utensils. I did not provide makeup for this bridal party, they did their own and the brides lashes started coming off...Karla’s emergency kit to the rescue again, she had eyelash glue. There were a few other things like this that popped up and Karla was so quick on her toes to make sure the issue was resolved. I highly recommend hiring Petals and Lace Events to plan your wedding, if you don’t have a full time planner in your budget I absolutely recommend hiring her as your day of. Not only is Karla among the best in her profession she is also genuinely kind, hard working, and a joy to be around.

Organizing and keeping a 225+ person wedding running smoothly is no easy task and I have to say that Karla from Petals & Lace handled everything perfectly at a recent event we worked together. Co-ordination is key and she made sure that I knew of any changes or issues during the night - it made my job easier and the wedding was a blast! The mother and father of the bride, as well as the bride herself raved at the end of the night how good Karla was - definitely recommended.
