Karen is a complete gem of a wedding planner. The whole experience was very straightforward from the start and easier to navigate than I had imagined. Karen laid out a detailed plan in Word format with clearly marked areas that would require my decisions or input. She provided me with several choices of the best vendors in the area as well as their costs, and I was able to chose the one that best fit our style, budget, and vibe we were seeking. She kept close track of our budget on a spreadsheet and provided great alternatives to cut costs on the right things, so that we could splurge on others. Several months after hiring Karen, I learned that we would have to change our wedding date due to work. Karen was very accommodating to this change and immediately got to work re-booking our vendors for our new date.

Our wedding rehearsal was to the point. Directions were very clear, and questions were answered in an upfront manner. I can say that I greatly appreciate Karens style of directing because you have so many personalities together for one experience, if done any other way things would get missed and go sideways. Because of her directing style I believe we were able to get through our rehearsal efficiently which in turn set us up for success the following day.

Day of: Everything was planned out to great detail, down to what I was going to have for a pre-ceremony snack, getting ready drink, and details for my wedding photography shoot, the timeline for everything..How long we had to get ready, when the photographer/videographer would arrive, when to go to the beach for sunset beach shots. I mean it was like clockwork. I was able to completely put all my faith in Karen, and enjoy my day and my guests and everything just happened, just as it should. When I say our wedding was perfect...thats exactly what I mean. We are over 6 months post wedding and that is the first thing that comes out of our mouths when we explain our wedding. It still blows us away how impeccably everything came together. I truly cannot express how grateful I am to have had Karen as my wedding planner. She is hands down the best decision I made in the wedding planning processes. I owe it all to her on how flawlessly everything came together on wedding day.

We had the BEST experience with Tropical Occasions. We can’t say thank you to Karen and Anahi enough for making our wedding dreams come true. They made the best day of our lives possible! They were there for us every step of the way and were so responsive, thoughtful, and fantastic. Hiring Tropical Occasions as our wedding planner as step #1 was the best decision we could have made for our wedding and we would highly recommend them to anyone! Everything felt so authentic and true to us and the vendors they recommended were equally amazing and high quality. They were absolutely right about everything and made us think about the little details we would have never otherwise considered! They truly went above and beyond what we could have ever envisioned and are incredible at what they do! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you!

Karen and her team were amazing to work with! She was incredibly organized and responsive throughout the planning process, and was always ready to answer questions and provide helpful information and guidance. She ensured that we stayed on budget and provided comprehensive and up-to-date documents outlining previous and upcoming payments. She also helped us identify sensible ways to save money, while still ensuring that our vision was met.

Our wedding was an absolute dream and it went off without a hitch, thanks to Karen and her team! No detail was overlooked and we are so grateful to Tropical Occasions for making our dream wedding a reality. I would absolutely recommend them!
