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

All the details….

Mrs. Liston has been easy to work with and is great with the details. No matter what I ask, she has been a “make it happen” person. I appreciate all her extra effort and I feel like she is really passionate about what she does!! Can’t wait for the BIG DAY!!! I’m so excited!

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.
