The Best Decision!

My daughter and her fiancé were having trouble moving forward, with how overwhelming planning a wedding can be. Bringing Karen in was the answer. Her consultation is so thorough, she really gets to know you and brings in her experience to help you more clearly define your vision. Literally, the wedding couldn’t have been more perfect. As a destination wedding, Karen put in additional work which isn’t the norm in Maryland. She is in constant contact with vendors. One of my definitive moments is when I was checking on some detail and she said ‘you go on and enjoy yourself, I’ll take care of it’- which is exactly what you expect and want of a wedding planner! Even if it was something not specifically discussed, she has worked with you so well, she knows exactly what you want 😊 highly recommend

The Perfect Team

We recently had the pleasure of working with Karen and her amazing team who went above and beyond to make our special day unforgettable. From when we started our planning, Karen's kindness and genuine care for our vision shone through, making the planning process as fun aa our wedding day.

One of Karen's standout qualities is her efficiency. She effortlessly guided us through each step, ensuring that every detail was meticulously taken care of. Her exceptional organizational skills left us feeling confident and stress-free, knowing that everything was in capable hands. No detail was too small for Karen and her team.

I cannot recommend Top Shelf Wedding Planners enough. If you're looking for a planner who will go above and beyond to make your wedding day special, this is the team to hire. With Karen by your side, you can rest assured that your special day will be nothing short of perfection.

A great wedding

Our wedding had a lot of moving parts and some non-traditional elements. We also had only 4 months to plan and execute. Karen was straight down to business and helped us feel confident that we were not dropping any balls. Kim stepped in on the event execution side and made sure the day went smoothy. There was still a significant amount of work and stress that we took on, but we feel we got excellent value our of our engagement with Top Shelf Wedding Planners.

Amazing experience!

I am so glad I hired TSWP! From my first phone call with Karen, I knew immediately that she knew what she was doing and felt so confident in moving forward with our decision to hire her! She helped find that last vendor or two and was great to bounce ideas off of. She was super helpful the last few weeks leading up to the wedding, taking the lead in helping to create a timeline, contacting and confirming vendors. She and Breanna were so helpful with setting out our items like our card box, place cards, signs and some decor. I didn't have to worry about a thing! Thank you ladies!!

Best Decision to hire a Wedding Planner

During the beginning stages I had no idea where to start planning. After speaking with Karen, we were able to bring my wedding day vision to life! She helped me hire all my vendors, we worked on a color pallet, created a timeline and so much more. She was my total support system when I needed an objective opinion. It was refreshing to know that Karen and her team were there to handle everything for on our wedding day. She not only made me feel at ease, she was pleasant and professional even with my crazy family! Best decision I made for my wedding was to hire Top Shelf in particular.
