    Our most essential vendor!

    Karissa is a pleasure to work with! Every call we had with her was helpful and kept our planning on track. From helping us to narrow down possible vendors to vet to developing a personalized, comprehensive timeline for our wedding day, she can do it all! She was always responsive and patient with all of our questions. Because of her attention to detail, my husband and I were fully immersed in the joy of our wedding day and didn’t have to worry about a single detail. We owe that all to Karissa!

    Cannot hire a better coordinator

    Karissa is top notch at what she does. She is organized, she is fun, she listens to your ideas and makes your dream day come true. I cannot recommend Karissa more if you are looking for a planner and coordinator for your big day!

    Couldn’t have asked for more!

    Karissa was my saving grace! I truthfully could not have asked for a better wedding planner. She is extremely professional, very friendly and easy to work with, and narrows down every little detail to a ‘T’. She helped take away a lot of my stress, especially the closer we got to the Big Day, handling all of our vendors and contracts. I HIGHLY recommend Karissa for all of your wedding planning needs! She was amazing and so much more than I could have asked for! She helped make my husband and I’s wedding the most perfect day! :)

    Outstanding!!

    Karissa was the BEST!! She was so organized and remembered everything. We had to change our plans last minute several times due to the weather and Karissa made it seem so so easy and kept our day totally stress free. Our wedding was flawlessly executed and we attribute that 100% to Karissa and her hard work and expertise - we would have been lost without her.

    Karissa Coffey Events's reply:

    Aw, Sarah... You are the BEST!!! I loved how laid back and amazing you guys were to work with and I'm sad the wedding has already come and gone. Thank you for the awesome review. Cheers to you guys and happy first week of being married! :)

    Great Experience With Karissa!

    Karissa is very organized and will keep you on track especially in your final month of planning when things start to get chaotic. Having her on hand day-of was incredibly helpful and truly allowed us to enjoy our evening since we could trust her to have things run smoothly. Knowing that we would not need to handle anything with vendors before, during, or after the wedding (or make a family member or guest do this) was great. Other than being incredibly professional, she is such a pleasure to work with! We could not recommend her enough.

    Karissa Coffey Events's reply:

    Thank you, Courtney! Your wedding was so beautiful and it was amazing having the opportunity to work with such a sweet couple :). Wishing you many, many years of love and happiness!

    Karissa is a chaos coordinator!

    Karissa is great! There are so many unpredictable things that happen day-of, but Karissa made sure that all of the vendors were doing what they needed to be doing on schedule. It was so nice to know that on the day of, I could hand off all of the planning and stress to Karissa and enjoy the day of my wedding. My parents noted afterwards that Karissa kept the show running smoothly behind the scenes, as well. She pulled off a great event! Thank you, Karissa!

    Definitely recommend Karissa

    Karissa was incredibly helpful and responsive from start to finish. My husband and I had to make multiple changes due to COVID and Karissa stepped up to help in anyway possible. Even though our day wasn’t exactly as originally envisioned, the day was still perfect and ran incredibly smoothly (thanks to Karissa)! Definitely recommend her for your wedding!

    Amazing to work with!

    Karissa was recommended to me by my close friend, and after seeing how well she did with her wedding, I was very excited to use her as my month of and day of coordinator. She did not disappoint, and my wedding day was perfect thanks to her! Her and her assistant were very helpful, and I would not have been able to get through my day without her, especially in the wedding environment we live in today. She was able to navigate this new environment with my Husband and me, and we are very grateful for that. On top of that, she also handled us having to last minute change to a rain plan on our wedding day, without us having to get involved, which took so much stress out of the day. It was even more perfect than we imagined. Living out in California, I felt extremely thankful to have Karissa because of her connections to everyone in the wedding industry in Charlottesville and her ability to help us plan. I will definitely recommend Karissa to my friends getting married in Charlottesville in the future.

    Positive and Uplifting!

    Karissa was so great to work with as my wedding coordinator. She helped with many decisions and was always there when I needed her. She was always so positive and uplifting! My wedding day went so smoothly and everything flowed perfectly. My guests were so impressed with how everything kept moving throughout the night and told me multiple times it was such a well run wedding. I owe all of that to Karissa!!

    Karissa is wonderful!

    I can't sing Karissa's praises enough! She was a joy to work with from start to finish, well organized, and is excellent at her job. She made sure everything ran smooth, and took care of every detail so that my husband and I were able to relax and enjoy our wedding. I don't know what we would have done without her! She made sure we had our requested cocktails and appetizers ready to eat when we had some alone time right after the ceremony, she made sure the bridal suite was cleaned up at the end of the night, and she even managed to succeed in the difficult task of putting the escort cards in the corks I had cut, a task we struggled with and she willing took over. Those are just a few of the many tasks she managed to complete day of the wedding that was all done behind the scenes, leaving us to just enjoy the day. I highly recommend Karissa!

    Incredibly thoughtful wedding planner!

    Karissa was absolutely amazing to work with and we can’t thank her enough for making our day the fairy tale we always dreamed it would be. She was incredibly detail-oriented, quick to respond, and thoughtful when I asked her for feedback. She was so kind and made me feel totally at ease - she is a total pro who made the planning process stress-free. Thank you Karissa for being such a big part of our wedding day and for allowing us to enjoy this special time in our lives!

    Would highly recommend!

    We booked Karissa as a Day of Coordinator, which is a great option for a couple on a budget! While I was okay with stress leading up to the wedding, I knew we would want to truly enjoy our wedding day without any worry. Karissa ensured that everything was in order and ran smoothly the day of.    
    Two days before our wedding our DJ canceled on us and Karissa was a great help through the very stressful process of finding a replacement. She was honest in saying the back-up DJ our original DJ found was not the best and that we should keep looking for a replacement. She immediately started making calls and sending emails to do everything she could to find us a suitable replacement. While we were freaking out inside, knowing that Karissa was doing everything in her power to find someone last minute helped put us at ease. When we found a new DJ, she immediately was in contact with them to make sure they were caught up on our itinerary and all the details of our big day.    
    Throughout our wedding day she had a great energy, she was sweet and calm, yet excited for us and able to command attention and order when needed. From her experience she knew when we needed to change/move things around in our itinerary and trusting her judgement paid off. We would highly recommend her as coordinator that guarantees you'll be able to fully enjoy your day while she and her assistant make sure everything goes off without a hitch!

    Incredible Coordinator

    Karissa was the first vendor that we booked and I am so glad we did. She was able to recommend great vendors and was so incredibly organized through the entire wedding planning process. We even changed our venue 2 months before the wedding and it didn't phase Karissa one bit. She was able to make everything we wanted come to life for our big day. I cannot recommend her enough for making your wedding the most incredible day. Our day was so seamless and it was because of her. I'm so grateful for her and her services.

    Amazing Coordinator

    My husband and I got married August 2019 and it was absolutely a dream wedding. Karissa was amazing and went above a beyond to ensure our day was not only memorable but organized. She was way more than a day of coordinator. Throughout the year of planning she provided guise with everything from rehearsal dinner locations, to signage ideas, and even what locations should be detailed on a map for guest. She even made a great suggestion that we hire a transportation company to safely transport guest to and from the hotel to the venue.

    On our wedding day Karissa arrived timely with the itinerary she created for us. Our wedding party and family raved about how she was on top of everything, every small detail. My husband and I are so very grateful for Karissa and her skillfulness with making our wedding day incredible. We wish her favor as she continues to assist and passionately bless other couples.

    So grateful!

    Working with Karissa was one of the best decisions we could have made for our wedding! Going into wedding planning, I knew we wanted a day-of coordinator we could trust all of the details to so that we could let loose and fully enjoy our day. Karissa was one of the first vendors we booked, and we greatly appreciated her insights and advice along the way as we selected our other vendors. Her detailed and organized timeline was the perfect resource for our family, friends, and vendors to make sure we were all on the same page. On the actual wedding weekend, I especially appreciated Karissa's ability to wrangle our massive group and wrap up the rehearsal ahead of schedule. On the wedding day, when we discovered one vendor made a mistake, Karissa worked swiftly to resolve it and the issue was resoled before anyone entered our reception space. Additionally, we added a fun surprise element during our first dance, and Karissa and Rachel helped us pull it off as a complete surprise to our family and friends and without a hitch. As a person who likes to plan and make sure things go according to timeline, I truly valued being able to rely on Karissa so that I was able to be present in the moment. Book Karissa for your big day... you won't regret it one bit!

    Flawless Wedding!

    Karissa helped make our wedding flawless! Everything I imagined on my wedding day came to life and my vision was perfectly executed. It was amazing how every little detail was done exactly how I thought it would be. The wedding day also moved seamlessly and if there were any hiccups or issues I was unaware, which is exactly what any bride would want! My wedding day I was able to have zero worry or concern about the setup or vendor arrivals and was able to fully enjoy every moment!

    Karissa made our wedding day completely stressless! I felt like we were organized in advance, but she made us be : ) I don't think we would have enjoyed our wedding day as much as we did without Karissa. I would recommend her to anyone.

    Organization at its finest!

    I used Karissa for her day-of coordination services and it was money well spent! She was SO organized and handled everything on our wedding day without bothering us for a second. She's incredibly sweet and professional, and her vendor recommendations and other advice were incredibly valuable!

    Karissa is the BEST!

    I don't have enough wonderful words to describe Karissa and how pleased we were to have her as our day of coordinator. She is a complete joy to work with through the entire process and takes any stress about day of details away. I completely trusted her after the first time we spoke and knew she was the right fit for us. She took my vision for our day made everything 100 times more beautiful and perfect than I could have ever imagined. Aside from being extremely organized and having a very concise business model, it is clear that she loves what she does and strives to give her clients exactly what they want and more! Her bubbly personality is contagious and she feels like a friend and part of your bridal party. I truly can't recommend her enough!

    Masterful organization

    My daughter chose Karissa to organize the day of activities for her marriage at King Family Vineyards this past August. She could not have made a better decision! Karissa is so easy to get along with, has wonderful and helpful ideas and suggestions and made every aspect of the day run like clockwork! Even the last minute switchover from having everything set up inside for the ceremony due to rain to being completely moved outside again an hour before when the clouds parted and the sun came out for the rest of the evening! Her carefully thought out itinerary with every detail on paper is truly the work of a pro. It was so helpful not only for us but for all of our vendors as well. And she moved everything along down to the minute seamlessly to everyone involved. I highly recommend this skilled professional young woman.

    Thorough and timely wedding planner

    We knew we wanted to be present for the events surrounding our wedding so finding a day-of planner to take the reigns was so important. Karissa was recommended to us by a friend and former client of hers and in connecting with her we knew we would be in good hands. She made sure to keep up with all vendor communication, helped us slowly peel off responsibility before the big day.
