St. Augustine Weddings & Special Events

When my mother, husband and I hired Karen, we kept hearing the same thing from vendors: "Thank goodness you're working with Karen." It didn't take long until we knew that we agreed. Karen was the perfect balance of enthusiasm and professionalism. She had every detail down to a T and was knowledgeable about aspects of our wedding from the ceremony to the rehearsal dinner to different types of bustles. She responded to all my questions within hours, if not minutes, and worked magic in finding ways to save us money and achieve our perfect day. Furthermore, she was fabulous in working with my husband and he felt that she respected and understood his priorities in addition to the "girlier" things. If there were one part of my wedding day that I were to recommend to other people, it would be Karen!

There are certain individuals in which one’s trust needs to be absolute. Airline pilots and surgeons come to mind quickly, but one might argue that “wedding planner” should be on that list :)
Without hesitation, we would say that we had absolute trust in Karen Erwin from the first meeting.
Part of Karen’s skill may be her incredible attention to detail. From the first meeting, Karen asked a lot of questions to understand our vision of the event. She met with us regularly and attended to specifics that we could not have anticipated. Throughout the process she remained unflappable and fully prepared. When we got to the big day itself, she was clearly in charge, totally capable of managing anything that came up. Despite her authority, she still managed the event (and the participants) with pleasure and kindness that kept everyone at ease.
Another other part of Karen’s success may be her sincere investment in the couple. She knows what an important event the wedding is for them and their families. Our friends and family members have all shared their stories of wedding planning frustrations and wedding day mishaps. My daughter and I came into the planning process with that expectation, but those frustrations and mishaps just never materialized. In other words, we never had a single issue arise on Karen’s watch. Her expertise, wisdom, insight with vendors and positive attitude made both the planning and the wedding day itself an absolute joy for our family. I would give my highest possible recommendations for Karen to manage your special day.

From the very first introductory phone call, I knew that Karen was my wedding planner. We went with her full-service package and it was incredibly worth it. Karen is probably the most thorough person that I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Each time we spoke we would break down the calendar checklist she created at the start of the process. This was essential and ensured that nothing was left until the last minute. Our engagement was roughly 9 months and in that timeframe when someone would ask me about wedding planning or if I was getting overwhelmed or stressed out; I would simply state that I have the world's best wedding planner and that the process was flawless. On the wedding day, Karen and her team made it so that a rainy beach wedding was still the best day ever! Her team will work tirelessly to ensure that you have the best day of your life!
