Nicole Sent on 12/21/2025Yessica is the absolute best!
From the very beginning, Yessica’s attention to detail—especially when it came to our timeline—was unmatched. There were so many things throughout the planning process that I would have never thought about, and Yessica was always one step ahead, making sure everything was thoughtfully planned and perfectly timed.
What truly set her apart was her calm presence. Not only on the wedding day itself, but throughout the entire process leading up to it. Her confidence and reassurance allowed me to actually enjoy wedding planning rather than feel stressed by it.
She did a fantastic job with vendor communication. I was cc’d on every email so I could follow along which saved me so much time and stress. She was also easily reachable by text and responded so quickly.
At one point, I had to scramble to find a new florist just six weeks out from our wedding. Yessica immediately stepped in with multiple recommendations, and the florist I chose turned out absolutely perfect.
If you’re looking for someone who is organized, thoughtful, calm under pressure, and an absolute joy to work with, Yessica is the one. We can’t thank her enough! -

More than a coordinator!!
It was an absolute pleasure working with Yessica! We thought we knew what was going on until we met with her, we were way off! Yessica took control and made sure we did our homework! I felt a sense of calm once she took control. Yessica
has been incredible to work with. She is organized, responsive, and always one step ahead, which has made the planning process so much easier. She understands our vision, offers clear guidance, and handles details we wouldn’t have even thought about.
One thing that has been especially helpful is that she’s bilingual, which has made communication with certain vendors and family members so much smoother. It’s a major asset and something we truly appreciate.
Overall, she’s reliable, professional, and genuinely helpful. Planning a wedding can feel overwhelming, but she’s kept everything on track and stress-free. We’re very grateful for her support and highly recommend her. She was more than an organizer, she became a friend!

Kristen Sent on 11/10/2025Short Timeline and Karen Was Amazing
Before I talk about how wonderful it was to work with Karen, there are a few key facts. First, my now husband is active-duty Navy and is currently stationed on the West Coast. That means we were planning a wedding from both coasts and with a three-hour time change. Also, I lost almost three weeks of planning due to work travel. We hired Karen 2 months, yes you read that right 2 MONTHS before our big day in October when I realized I was overwhelmed and things were likely to get missed. In our first phone call she was kind, calm, and made my husband and me immediately feel at ease. No matter what I was panicked about, she instantly made us feel at ease and already had a plan to solve problems. 10 days out from the wedding we realized we didn’t have a sign for the welcome reception or a program. She took the time to design something we loved, handle FedEx printing, and never complained or looked at us like, “why didn’t you think of this?” She completely understood us as a couple and made sure our day was great.
Karen listened to what we wanted for our ceremony and reception, she then made sure it was flawlessly executed. She also made the entire wedding party feel welcome and calm before our ceremony started. Karen was wonderful to work with, made the whole wedding day as worry free as it could be. And, she did ALL of this with a very compressed timeline. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone wanting a fun, successful, and happy wedding day.

CBK for the win!!
My husband and I hired Coordination by K in June 2024 for our August 2025 wedding, and it was hands down the best decision we made throughout the entire planning process.
We interviewed about seven coordinators in the area, and many of them felt very corporate. We honestly felt like just another number: they didn’t ask us meaningful questions or offer any real guidance during the call. Most said, “We’ll provide a list of recommended vendors after you sign up,” which didn’t sit right with us.
Then we found Yessica and Karen and scheduled an introductory call. Note: several of the other coordinators wouldn’t even meet with us until we hired them, which felt crazy to me because I wanted to hear the energy of the person who would help plan one of the most important days of our lives.
From the very start, Yessica and Karen made us feel seen and understood. They didn’t run through a list of what they don’t do — instead, they listened to our concerns, asked thoughtful questions, and customized their proposal to our needs. At the end of the call, they said something that has stuck with me ever since:
“The most important factor in your wedding is the lead-up and the timeline.”
And they were absolutely right.
Yessica was our day-of coordinator, and she constantly emphasized the importance of having buffer time built into the timeline because unexpected things always happen. And sure enough — on the wedding day, my uncle (who was in charge of bringing the rings) forgot them at the hotel. I immediately panicked, thinking there wouldn’t be time to go back, but when I told Yessica, she calmly said, “We’re ahead of schedule — we have a 30-minute buffer.” I could have cried from relief! My uncle made it back with five minutes to spare, and while it wasn’t exactly how I envisioned that moment, it proved her right — anything can happen and I am so glad I listened to her advice. I will admit: when she said I would have a full 30 minutes before the ceremony to "chill" I felt like that was way too much time, but she is an expert at this and it is after all the reason we hired her.
From two months out, Yessica guided us through everything. She was incredibly thorough, detailed, and calm. After our first planning call, we had already covered all the vendor questions, day-of logistics, and even a rough draft of the timeline. At our venue walkthrough, she asked questions I hadn’t even thought of — things that made a huge difference later on.
On the wedding day, Yessica checked in on both of us multiple times, always keeping us updated and reassuring us that “we’re ahead of schedule.” Hearing that throughout the day brought me so much peace. The ceremony started exactly at 3:00 PM, and that buffer time she insisted on truly saved the day.
Before getting married, I never thought we needed a day-of coordinator. I assumed they just showed up to execute the plan. But now I know that’s impossible for a day this complex. Hiring Coordination by K was the best decision we made. If you’re considering them, look no further. You’ll get real people who genuinely care about your day — not a company that treats you like a number. -

Peace of mind while planning is priceless!
My husband and I hired Karen as the day of wedding coordinator for our reception and could not be happier we did! We booked Karen about eight months before our wedding, and right off the bat she impressed us with her professionalism and attention to detail; she took plenty of time to ensure she understood our vision, and provided a helpful timeline and to do list to keep us on track in our wedding planning. Despite the fact we only hired her to be our day of coordinator, we really felt Karen and her colleague, Yessica, went above and beyond in terms of communication, planning, and reaching out to the other vendors.
It was such a relief to know that Karen had all the details of our big day handled. We were so grateful she was there to work with the multiple other vendors on-site, to take care of our guests, and to help keep us on schedule! She also did a beautiful job decorating and she quickly helped secure a new cake stand when we realized the one I had ordered was much too small.
You’ll be in great hands with Karen if you decide to hire her! It was such a pleasure working with her, and I so appreciated her guidance and responsiveness throughout our wedding planning journey. In addition to being great at her work, she is also a lovely person! -

Alina Sent on 04/23/2025Coordination by K: The Best Planning Decision
Working with Coordination by K was, without a doubt, one of the best decisions we made in planning our wedding. From the very first conversation, Karen brought such a sense of calm, professionalism, and genuine warmth. As someone who is typically very hands-on and detail-oriented, I wasn’t sure I’d be able to fully let go — but within minutes of speaking with her, I felt completely confident putting everything in her hands. And she delivered, tenfold.
Karen, the heart behind Coordination by K, truly felt like a teammate throughout the entire process. She wasn’t just checking boxes or managing logistics — she was in it with us, every step of the way. It’s clear that she has a deep passion for weddings and for making each event feel personal, meaningful, and above all, perfect. She listens intently, cares deeply, and makes you feel like your day is the most important one she’s ever worked on — because to her, it is.
She went above and beyond on countless fronts, including arranging our florals — one less thing I had to worry about in the whirlwind of planning. As a busy bride trying to manage RSVPs, guest communications, and all the other moving parts, having someone I could trust to take the reins on something so important was more helpful than I can put into words. And of course, the florals were stunning.
We also threw a bit of a curveball by planning a cocktail-style wedding, which doesn’t follow a traditional pace or order of events. Coordination by K embraced the challenge without hesitation. Karen worked tirelessly to coordinate vendors, fine-tune the timeline, and create a smooth, elevated experience that allowed us — and our guests — to be fully present and enjoy every moment.
She handled every detail with class and grace, often anticipating what we needed before we even had to ask. Because of Coordination by K, our wedding was not only beautifully executed — it was completely stress-free. We were able to be in the moment, knowing everything was taken care of by someone who genuinely cared.
Karen doesn’t just plan weddings — she creates magic. She’s the kind of person who makes you feel like your event is the most special one in the world. We’re endlessly grateful to have had Coordination by K by our side. -

Meredith Sent on 11/20/2024Great Coordinators for Weddings!
I had a great experience with Yessica and Karen. I did partial planning with them and we started 6 months before our wedding. They were organized and set up a google drive with templates that I filled out. They did a wonderful job connecting with my vendors and taking the communication off my shoulders, as well as communicating any changes that needed to be made. There were a lot of moving parts for my wedding, and they not only were on site coordinating with my party day of, but also were simultaneously setting up the venue. I would recommend their services for your wedding. -

Lee S. Sent on 11/19/2024Wonderful Experience - Perfect Wedding with Coordination by K
As an older first-time bride, it was great to have the professional support of partners Karen Mojica and Yessica Orosco. With a tight timeline, Karen and Yessica jumped in to assist with day of coordination as well as making sure all of the final details, that are all critically important, came together and were perfectly executed. They were thoughtful as we worked through the essential elements. They had great recommendations for vendors and timeline management. I didn't have to worry about anything because the team was there every step of the way to ensure our wedding day was perfection.
I'd highly recommend coordination by K! -

You need Karen’s services!
I used Karen’s services for day of coordination, but she did so much more for us than that. I had booked with a venue that turned out to be extremely ~difficult~ to work with, and Karen handled everything in the weeks leading up to my wedding with such grace and ease, taking so much off of my plate. I thought i would be able to do so much on my own, but wedding planning always ends up being more than you expect. She was amazing from the moment I booked her, through the days after my wedding when I picked up items from her. Her assistant Yessica was also absolutely amazing. They were organized, timely, kind, and I felt like I could truly breathe with them. There were many hiccups the week of the wedding that truly would’ve sent me into a mental breakdown, but because of Karen I was at ease. She made all of my dreams come true from her help with designing, to timelines, to her wrangling our rowdy wedding parties during rehearsal and the actual wedding. You need her, I promise!!!! My only regret is not booking her for full planning services, because I could have used her help finding a venue, budgeting, etc. because the moment her services began I felt like I could actually enjoy being a bride!!! Out of all of our vendors, Karen and her team were our favorites. I truly don’t know what we would have done without her! -

Esther Sent on 09/13/2024The best wedding coordinator
We gave Karen a huge task - help coordinate a wedding of nearly 200 people with multiple non-traditional vendors (friends, family, and random contacts), and two ceremonies in one day. The day started at 7A and did not end until 10 PM. That's more than 12 hours of being on and attentive. She smashed it out of the park and we're still having people tell us all about how amazing our wedding was. I mean two ceremonies in one day and we were NEVER off schedule. She planned enough buffer space for my husband and I to relax with one another and just breathe. She also planned food runs for us so that we were never hungry or without water or a drink. We genuinely could not have asked for a better coordinator and recommend her to everyone.
Highlight: my bodysuit for my wedding dress snagged and Karen was the ONLY one that could fix it. I was freaking out but her her energy really calmed me down. Thankful for her! -

Gorgeous and super fun 50th birthday party!!
Karen did a truly phenomenal job planning my 50th birthday party! Every detail was beautifully thought out and executed! We had 125 guests and it honestly was wedding-level caliber. We held it outside with cocktail hour followed by a full buffet dinner and dancing. Karen managed all the vendors - caterer, tent and furniture rentals, DJ, Photo Booth, etc. She chose the (gorgeous) table settings and even arranged the stunning florals herself!
Because we hosted the party in Faquier County, VA, Karen also oversaw the travel logistics for all guests (hired buses for DC and suburban MD guests), coordinated a hotel block, and managed off sight parking for guests who drove to the party.
She made sure the caterers were fully setup outside as well as arranged for very nice (truly!) portable bathrooms.
I can’t recommend Karen’s services highly enough and look forward to hiring her again for future events! -

Karen was exactly what we wanted for our wedding day! There are a lot of options for wedding planners, but something to consider is that person is to be someone you talk to a lot up until your wedding. It was important to my wife and I that our planner was somebody we truly wanted to spend that time with; someone who cared beyond the job. After our first meeting with Karen we knew right away that she was a great fit!
We had laughs, talked about the wedding, and overall it felt like so much more than what we had experienced to that point. We knew right away that we wanted Karen to be our planner!
Karen was professional, fun at the wedding, quick at finding resolutions, and cared so much about my wife and I. The thing that stood out to me the most was Karen's sincerity. Karen feels like family now, and we are so happy she was there on our Wedding Day.
At the end of the day your wedding planner is the person the orchestrates everything. The vendor you talk to the most. The person who is by your side on every step of the way, and planning a wedding is roller coaster. When the lows happen you want support and someone who can remain cool under pressure. When the highs happen you want someone who celebrates with you. Karen was that person for us!
Karen we love you, and we hope our paths cross again soon! Thank you so much! -

Molly Sent on 07/10/2024Karen is amazing!!
If you are looking for a planner, day of coordinator, or both— hire Karen!! After searching extensively for a coordinator who fit what we were looking for, Karen stood out. After corresponding via email and talking on the phone, we knew she was exactly who we needed. Initially, we were only looking for a day of coordinator, but after talking with Karen, we realized her expertise and vision aligned so well with our own that we also utilized her planning services. Karen stood out to us throughout our whole experience by being available, responsive, and attentive to every need we had. She was so supportive of our vision of the day, and helped us bring all of our ideas to life, while also giving us realistic advice and guidance. I would recommend her services to anyone. She made sure our wedding day was taken care of by building a small team including another planner, Yessica, and Loren. Karen, Yessica, and Loren were exceptional in executing our day-of vision. They made sure that myself, my husband, our wedding party, and our family members were well taken care of all day long. Karen cared so deeply about making our wedding exactly what we wanted it to be. She always made it known that our wedding was important to her. I feel very lucky to have worked with her. Thank you so much Karen, Yessica, and Loren 🧡 -

My husband and I discovered Coordination by K while searching through WeddingWire for a Wedding Planner back in Oct/Nov 2023. Being new to the DMV area, we knew we would need a lot of help with the planning.
We knew right after our initial interview call that Coordination by K (Karen) was 'the one'. She made sure to understand what our expectation, and emphasized on the 'important aspects' that we had mentioned throughout the planning process. We were blown away by her attentiveness, organization, responsiveness, and ability to research the perfect vendors for us! We received all vendor updates in timely manner and were able to meet all 'deadlines' that we had set up together initially. We really appreciated how she was very diligent with following up and getting responses from all the vendors. It's been over 2 weeks since we had our wedding and we STILL talk about how perfect & great all the vendors (Photographer, DJ + Makeup & Hair) were.
It is no doubt that without Karen, we wouldn't have been able to plan the most perfect day. We had our guests coming up to us during the reception complimenting how gorgeous the wedding, cocktail hour, and reception was! We also loved Karen's professionalism and ability to think swiftly when unexpected events happen. We had forgotten to bring the floating candles, and Karen worked with our venue behind the scenes and made everything happen flawlessly!
Karen made sure our day was stress-free, took care of us throughout the day from beginning to the end, and made sure we were on schedule/timeline and nothing fell through the cracks. We will be moving to Los Angeles soon but if we weren't, there is no doubt that we would want Karen to plan all of our events in the future. We are truly fortunate to have met such a wonderful wedding planner and we can't thank Karen enough! Best wedding planner ever!! THANK YOU for the most perfect day! :) -

Alan Sent on 06/02/2024Perfect Wedding Thanks to Karen!
From start to finish, Karen was an absolute dream to work with, turning what could have been a stressful, rushed process into a seamless, enjoyable experience. With only 7 months to plan our wedding, Karen's expertise and dedication were nothing short of miraculous!
Despite the short planning period, Karen never made us feel rushed. She worked closely with us every step of the way, respecting our time and accommodating our busy schedules. Her ability to find a fantastic venue-the beautiful Omni Shoreham Hotel in DC-in such a short time frame was impressive. She also secured amazing deals with vendors, ensuring that we got the best value for our budget!
One of the most impressive aspects of working with Karen was her incredible attention to detail. She crafted a meticulous schedule for each month leading up to the wedding, ensuring that every task was completed on time without feeling overwhelming. Her detailed day-of schedule was a masterpiece, coordinating every moment perfectly so that we could relax and enjoy our special day without any worries.
Our weekly meetings with Karen in the month leading up to the wedding were invaluable, keeping us on track and providing a space to discuss any concerns or changes we wanted to make. Her understanding and flexibility with last-minute changes were particularly appreciated, as she always found a way to make everything work.
Karen went above and beyond at every turn. Not only did she handle the core elements of wedding planning with grace and efficiency, but she also took care of countless small details that made a huge difference. Whether it was fixing the bride's dress in a pinch or staying late to clean up, Karen's willingness to help with anything and everything was truly remarkable.
Karen's dedication, professionalism, and genuine care for her clients make her the best wedding planner we could have ever hoped for. Thanks to her, our wedding was everything we dreamed of and more!

Reni Sent on 06/02/2024Five Stars for Karen - Made Our Dream Wedding a Reality (Even on Short Notice!)
I can't recommend Karen highly enough! We were in a bit of a bind - we knew we wanted to get married, but with only 7 months’ notice, planning a full wedding felt overwhelming. Thankfully, we found Karen!
From the very first meeting, Karen put us at ease. Her calm demeanor and incredible organization skills were exactly what we needed. She took the time to truly understand our vision for the wedding, from the overall theme to the smallest details.
Here are just a few examples of where Karen truly shined:
• Short Notice Magic: Despite the tight timeline, Karen secured our dream venue and top-notch vendors. Her extensive network of contacts was invaluable.
• Expert Negotiation: She negotiated amazing deals with vendors, saving us a significant amount of money without sacrificing quality. Her budgeting expertise was a lifesaver!
• Stress-Free Planning: Karen handled all the logistics seamlessly, from timelines to vendor communication. She kept us informed and on track, allowing us to relax and enjoy the planning process.
• Creative Problem-Solving: There were a few unexpected hiccups in the lead-up to the wedding, but Karen tackled them head-on with creative solutions. Her ability to think outside the box saved the day (or rather, the wedding)!
On the wedding day itself, everything ran like clockwork. Karen and her team anticipated every need and ensured everything flowed smoothly. They were professional, friendly, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect.
Thanks to Karen’s incredible work, our wedding was even more magical than we ever imagined. We are so grateful for her dedication and expertise. If you're looking for a wedding planner who can handle anything, with a smile on her face, look no further than Karen!

Karen is the absolute best! Her attention to detail and expertise made our wedding day smooth and perfect. She managed our vendors, helped us pick decorations, and established a very thorough timeline before our big day. On our wedding day, she made sure all the vendors were prepared and timely. She managed our schedule and kept everything running as planned. She even stopped our car from getting wrongfully towed on our wedding day and worked with the city to reverse the parking ticket! She really went above and beyond in all aspects. I highly recommend Karen! -

Suvd Sent on 09/27/2023The best decision we made when planning our wedding was hiring Coordination By K.
We hired Karen as our Wedding Planner and it was the best decision we made throughout the wedding planning process. Karen come into the process a littler later than usual, but that didn’t get in the way from her executing our special day in a timeless fashion. When she took over the planning, the first thing she did was change and improve our wedding day timeline. She changed it because everything was jam packed and we would’ve been delayed had we kept it as is. Karen emphasized the importance of a well thought out timeline so as to allow us to really take our time to get ready and take it slow on the day of.
From the time she took over the wedding planning, I was able to finally relax and start enjoying the planning process again. One thing I learned during this process is that when you're working with a top notch wedding planner, the whole process is smoother, more enjoyable and less stressful.
Karen also worked on all of the day of sign and paper designs, which came together elegantly. In addition, her team set up all our wedding decor and executed my vision beautifully. However, what impressed me the most was her professionalism. Our wedding was not an easy wedding to plan, as we had 12 vendors, a lot of moving parts, last minute venue requests with strict requirements, and it was an outdoor wedding. Throughout the process she communicated with each vendor respectfully and clearly without any delays. Karen has an amazing attention to detail and more importantly, she made us feel like we were her top priority at all times since the day we signed up with her. She also was very special with our families and included them in the day of stand up meeting before everything happened!
To add more complications to everything we got hit by a tropical storm on our wedding day! Coordination By K team went above and beyond that day and made all the right calls with all the last minute changes that were happening, as we were dealing with an extremely unpredictable weather/tropical storm at an outdoor wedding venue. Not only our guests but also our vendors mentioned to us how amazing our planning team was on our wedding day. If you're a bride who’s looking for a planner, you will not regret going with Coordination By K! -

Best & sweetest coordinator!
It was a pleasure to work with Karen. More than just the day of coordinator, she made sure months leading into my wedding that everything was squared away. She followed up consistently and had excellent communication. She worked with all of my vendors and insured everything was squared away and took that weight off my shoulders. She helped me with our timeline and was with us during our rehearsal leading up to the big day. I could have not asked for a better wedding coordinator, as she made everything run smoothly from the moment I started getting ready, to the sendoff. Karan was so sweet with all of my family and insured that even my parents and my husband’s parents had what they needed and that is very special. -
