Where to begin! Karen with St. Augustine Weddings and Special Events is thorough, knowledgable, professional, compassionate, and a joy to work with. In recapping our special day of April 6, 2025 at Lightner Museum, we had only roses to discuss and no thorns (which is rare!). Throughout the planning process, Karen curates a custom wedding checklist with tasks and due dates so you never question when you have a balance due, need to order your guest book, or even order extra black socks for the groomsmen in case they forget (which came in handy by the way). Wedding planning has a negative association in society making brides believe it is stressful and unenjoyable, Karen proved that stereotype to be WRONG! I am so happy to say I had zero stress with Karen's attention to detail and organized timelines. I will even go as far to say that I miss our wedding planning phone calls, as she made the process so enjoyable. Karen has so much knowledge to give whether you are needing guidance on venue selection, finding the perfect vendors for your wedding day, and even places for your out of town guests to stay for your wedding. I cannot recommend St. Augustine Weddings & Special Events enough. If you get the opportunity to work with Karen and her team, consider yourself a very lucky girl as they are true gems! Thank you St. Augustine Weddings for giving my husband and I the wedding of our dreams and for going the extra mile always!

Highly recommend St. Augustine Weddings and Karen Erwin. She was highly attentive and thought of every little detail and potential issue that we could have never realized on our own. Karen had great recommendations for other vendors and was extremely knowledgeable about our wedding venue (Epping Forest Yacht & Country Club), which made our wedding day go so smoothly, even with over 200 guests. With Karen at the helm we were fully able to relax and have fun on our wedding day, which is truly priceless. Karen is a bargain based on the amount of hours she was willing to meet and talk through every little desire I had for the day, and went through great lengths to bring them to life. She was extremely helpful with keeping me on track with all the planning tasks and ensuring that there was no mad scramble within the last two months. We heard nothing but good feedback from our guests regarding every aspect of our wedding day, and I truly attribute that to all the behind the scenes work and recommendations from Karen.

Choosing Karen as our wedding planner was the best decision we made! She took the time to understand us and our vision, and made it come to life perfectly.

One thing I really appreciated about Karen’s process was how much work she did behind the scenes to make our decision-making easy. We could make decisions with minimal stress knowing that every vendor that Karen presented had already been well-vetted and could match our vision for the day.

I cannot thank Karen enough for her hard work, dedication, and professionalism. If you are looking for a wedding planner who will listen to your vision, keep things organized, and make your day absolutely stress free, look no further. Thank you for making our wedding everything we dreamed of!!
