    Kari was super helpful and stayed in contact with my husband and i throughout the whole process.

    Kari is very knowledgeable of her job and field and we couldn't have asked for a better person to help us plan our wedding.

    Mother of the Bride

    This was a Dream-Come-True wedding. It couldn't have been any better! Kari is the most wonderful, caring and professional wedding planner I have ever met. She truly went above and beyond in an unbelievably short amount of time (due to the groom's military commitment) to create a ceremony that was just beautiful, thoughtful, sweet, romantic and more than we ever dreamt of! I was certain she was channeling Walt D, himself, with the magic she was making happen! From exquisitely beautiful tropical surroundings to the comfort of the seaside, fully furnished condos delightfully decorated in Sanibel Island theme, nothing lacks perfection! Kari and her staff are utterly amazing, the best!

    Beautiful Day!

    Kari was wonderful to work with and we couldn't be more pleased. She listened to what we wanted for our wedding and made suggestions/recommendations along the way to help make it perfect. We chose to have a small intimate ceremony with just the two of us. The ceremony took place at a lovely spot at Sanibel Moorings, with a beautifully decorated driftwood arch and a flower petal sprinkled pathway leading to it. My bouquet and his boutonniere were made from hand picked flowers out of the properties gardens. Our vows were written just for us and the ceremony was more than we could have asked for. Kari and her staff were exceptional!

    Our Wedding with Kari

    Kari, without a doubt is one of the most down to earth people we have ever met. Her attention to detail, bringing our family together in our ceremony, was amazing. You feel like you have known her for a long time, after our first meeting. My wife and I highly recommend her

    A fantastic service, merci!

    We are from France and had to postpone our wedding because of the current situation, Kari was a superstar throughout the entire process and was very flexible to make our dream come true: get married at sunset on the beach. An awesome organization and logistics from Kari made this day an unforgettable one. We were guided by her and trusted her every step of the way thanks to her great personality mood and smile. She's a real pro! We recommend her 100%. Merci beaucoup Kari! Y&M

    Wonderful energy and communication!

    We hired Kari to officiate our small, intimate wedding ceremony. From the very first phone call, I felt wonderfully comfortable with her and knew she was the officiant for us. Kari really took the time to get to know both of us to construct a ceremony which met our vision and expectations. She did that and then some! As we read the ceremony draft, I cried. She was also very receptive to the minor edits/changes we wanted made. On the day of the ceremony, Kari arrived early and worked hard to make sure we had everything how and where we wanted. If I had one small negative, it would be that she wore a white dress (which was consequently very similar to mine). I would highly recommend Kari for any of your officiating needs!

I highly recommend Kari for all weddings!

    The perfect day!

    Kari was fantastic and made my wedding day a dream come true! She was so easy to work with and really took the time to get to know my husband and me. Our wedding was a bit non-traditional and Kari was able to capture each of us individually as well as us as a couple in the ceremony that she wrote. It was sincere, classy, thoughtful and funny all at the same time. From the moment we arrived at the venue, I felt like the bride that I always wanted to be. Kari's attention to detail was impeccable and well as some of the extra touches that she added in. Our setting was perfect, our day was perfect and the pictures were perfect. I seriously could not have asked for a better wedding and Kari was a big part of that.

    Best officiant ever!

    Kari was awesome! She was extremely helpful and punctual and always made us feel like everything was under control. She deserves all the credit for our ceremony going as smoothly as it did. She consistently went above and beyond and I’d hire her again in a heartbeat.

    We had absolutely perfect weather, enjoyed the botanical gardens, loved working with Kari and loved getting married on the beach!

    Kari was such a pleasure to work with. She was professional, organized, and really gets down to it! I loved how she really connected with our families and truly cared.

    Excellent !!

    We found Kari on a list of preferred vendors at wedding venue we were considering for my daughters wedding. We ended up switching Venues but I am so glad we stuck on with Kari. She was fabulous from the very first moment I spoke to her over the phone very responsive with her dates and her follow up. She has an uncanny ability to tune in to People and her instincts about creating the right environment for the bride and groom and their families made my daughters wedding all the more special. She was extremely professional, she had a great understanding of each member in the wedding party, and the dynamics that held the families together, and she did an excellent job in providing an environment that appealed to everyone of us. If you are looking for someone who is professional and completely present and in the moment, and treats every ceremony as a special -one as if she’s doing it for the very first time -I would recommend having Kari officiate your most important event!

    Top notch!

    Kari was absolutely perfect at my daughter's wedding and created a most beautiful ceremony. She helped the couple with finding the vows that they loved and took care of every possible detail. During the rehearsal, she gently guided the whole wedding party to create the perfect ceremony. The ceremony was beautiful and went smoothly without any issues at all. We will forever be grateful to Kari for being such a huge part of our daughter's wedding with the many kindnesses she extended to us.

    Absolutely Amazing

    I will never be able to fully express my gratitude of how amazing Kari was with our wedding. She went over and beyond in more ways than one! It was more than I ever expected and then some. If you are ever needing an officiant/coordinator, please choose her! She helped make everything as stress free as possible and just simply amazing!

    An Amazing Experience

    From the first interaction with Kari we knew she would take great care of us on our special day. She was always responsive to emails and phone calls, genuinely excited for us and to be a part of our big day, and her warm personality and hospitality was better than we could have hoped for.

    Kari made sure all the little details were covered and officiated a beautiful ceremony for us. She also recommended an awesome caterer (Bailey's - also the best grocery store on the island!) who then recommended a really cool indoor space, and last minute at that, (The Founder's Room at the Community House), as it rained on our wedding day.

    Kari was so wonderful, accommodating, and flexible with helping us, and as a new friend, we plan to visit her next year during our anniversary trip back to Sanibel.

    Thanks, Kari! :)

    Intimate Sunset Ceremony

    Kari was fabulous to work with from our first meeting throughout the entire process. She took her time to get to get to know us so that she understood what brought our lives together. She incorporated our story into a beautiful, heart felt intimate ceremony for us and our families.

    Our wedding day was stress free and exactly what we hoped for.

    Wholehearted recommendation-amazing officiant, amazing person

    From the moment that I first connected with Kari, there was no doubt in my mind that she was exactly the right fit to officiate our ceremony. Not only was she excited for us, kind and thoughtful but her flexibility and perceptiveness were second to none. She worked with my fiance and I to create exactly the ceremony and feel that we wanted for our wedding. Kari personally met with me on my very tight schedule (I am coming from out of country), helped me with great vendors, accommodations and made amazing suggestions that added so, so much to the ceremony and process. I would wholeheartedly recommend Kari and Sanibel Moorings to any couple interested in saying their vows on the island. If you are looking for a one of a kind officiant that doesn't miss a detail or a beat, hands down, Kari is your gal.
