Vanessa's Blissful Bride Package was 10/10

My partner and I had done most of the planning for our 2 day Indian/American wedding, but we wanted a coordinator to ensure that all the logistics went smoothly and allowed us to relax and enjoy the day. We found Vanessa, booked her Blissful Bride package, and the experience ended up being everything we wanted and more!

Vanessa took the time to really understand all the nuances of our fusion wedding. In the run up to the events, she was incredibly helpful at ironing out timelines, insurance, and other questions we hadn't even realized we needed to answer. When the wedding rolled around, we were able to completely empty our brains of the logistics and just enjoy the moment - Vanessa kept everything perfectly organized. She and her team were so incredibly kind and helpful on the day of. If our families needed anything, someone was there to help them with it. The whole team went above and beyond.

Vanessa was compassionate, calming, and incredibly efficient throughout. I really can't recommend her enough!

100% Amazing! Stress free!

I would recommend Katya and the Karma Goddess Team to anyone! I met the Karma Goddess team at a friend's out of state wedding and was so impressed by them that we hired them.

Katya was the best addition to our wedding. She helped guide us in decision making, how to help our vision come to life, and prevented us from being overwhelmed. Our wedding was out of state - but that was no challenge to Katya. She is detailed oriented and extremely organized. She handles communication through any platform.
I appreciated her most when she guided us through decision making calmly. She let's us think and talk it out, before providing input. She helped match our premium flower vision to be more budget friendly and guided us on what was worth spending extra cost on vs what would not be noticed by guests.
Most of all, our actual wedding day was stress free. Karma provides a timed schedule and layout - there were 0 surprises. She talked directly to vendors, while also confirming payments. As a couple with high stress jobs, this was an amazing benefit. I was able to enjoy being a bride and the 'getting ready' experience. She handled all vendors, family questions, venue items and helped move set up/teardown items. This allowed our family to also just be guests instead of helping do the set up or making sure vendors had arrived. This meant, we also had a much smoother schedule - the whole family was on time.

I would recommend Katya and Karma Goddess - 100%!

Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful

Total pros and they get all the credit for making our special day so wonderful! Lovely people and they truly care about every little detail. We are so lucky to have worked with them!

Vanessa & Katya- thank you both so much for all that you did, we mean it when we say it wouldn't have been so perfect if it weren't for both of you!

Amazing!!!

Vanessa and her team are amazing! They were so communicative and made sure everything was executed exactly how I envisioned on wedding day. They were very organized and helpful with their suggestions, they truly made the planning process so easy and seamless. Super attentive to detail which gave me the ability to not have to worry on wedding day that everything would turn out perfect. The wedding day team was also amazing, keeping the timeline on track and being with me every step of the day! I would choose them all over again if I could, highly recommend

Vanessa is the best!

Vanessa, Kat, and the rest of the Karma Goddess team were nothing short of amazing. They executed our 5 event wedding over 3 days across multiple locations seamlessly. Vanessa was a true partner throughout the wedding planning process and was incredibly patient, attentive and kind throughout (even indulging in my last minute reception design change!). Vanessa's knowledge and connections in South Florida were truly an asset throughout the planning process. I'd recommend Vanessa to anyone planning a wedding and will definitely miss our weekly planning sessions.

A wonderful experience that allowed us to enjoy the moment!

Working with Vanessa and her team was one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding. Although we purchased the day of planning package, the to-do list, checklist, and list of recommended vendors she provided us with were a god send and helped us get everything sorted for our big day. Whenever we had questions or needed advice, Vanessa was easy to reach and ready to help. They were even able to provide support for printing needs we had not fully anticipated. The meeting we had before the wedding with Vanessa and Katya allowed us to run through the final details and really feel prepared. Their service the day of the wedding was wonderful. I can get overwhelmed and stressed about making sure all the details of a big event are in place, but Vanessa and Katya made sure everything ran smoothly and I was able to relax and be in the moment. Our wedding was on the smaller side so I was tempted to try to handle everything myself, but there is so much that goes into making a wedding happen that, in retrospect, I’m so grateful we had the support. If you’re contemplating working with Vanessa and her team, I highly recommend that you do!

Out of town wedding

Vanessa and her team were critical for helping to plan my out of town wedding! Her expertise and experience in the field helped immensely with the vendor selection process. All of the recommendations were top-tier and professional. The Karma Goddess team assisted in communicating amongst all of the vendors leading up to the big day as well, which allowed me peace of mind as everything fell into place. I couldn't have asked for a better wedding planning experience!

Incredible!

Absolutely amazing! They were an absolute dream to work with. From our initial consultation to the final send-off at our reception, they were organized, attentive to detail, and always available to answer any questions we had.

They understood our vision perfectly and brought it to life even better than we could have imagined. They handled all the vendor communication, kept us on track with our budget, and made sure everything ran smoothly on the big day.

We were able to relax and enjoy every moment of our wedding because we knew they had everything under control. We are so grateful for their expertise and highly recommend them to any couple looking for a stress-free and unforgettable wedding experience.

The best decision we made in wedding planning was choosing to work with Karma Goddess

For context, my husband and I were living in New York and in the middle of a move/starting new jobs in medicine while planning a destination wedding in Miami. He is Indian and my family is South American. Vanessa & her right hand, Katya, gave us the cultural fusion wedding of our dreams.

Choosing Karma Goddess as our planning team was by far our best decision in wedding planning. I'd say the #1 reason would be how Vanessa & Katya were able to read our personalities and really cater their guidance to how my husband and I best made decisions. A close second reason would be how available/flexible Vanessa was for the entire 1.5 years we worked with her. Vanessa held many evening and weekend meetings and never made us feel rushed. We often thought back to the many planners we interviewed who said they would have a set number of meetings with us and that blew our minds. We probably talked to Vanessa almost every day via phone or text in the weeks leading up to our wedding. As far as connections, they found us discounts or affordable recommendations in Miami that easily made working with them worthwhile.

Being in medicine, neither of us had a clue about design or event planning. Vanessa organized everything while still letting us make all the decisions. She found a way to present just enough variety of options without overwhelming us. By the end of our time together, she was already predicting what we would pick with complete accuracy :) They are extremely passionate about what they do, and genuinely enjoy problem solving and getting creative.

We only had to visit Miami twice (a plus for us as we were swamped with our new jobs) but they would have welcomed us as many times as we wanted. We had the best time venue touring and food tasting with Vanessa and Katya. We hung out with them extra because we genuinely enjoyed spending time with them.

The wedding days (this was a 3 day Indian fusion wedding) would not have gone as smoothly without them. When we ran into issues with the hotel, Vanessa and her team quickly solved them with a phone call. We later found out she also put out fires that we didn't even notice at the time. We get so many compliments on the design, food, and organization of our wedding and give Vanessa and her team all of the credit. We were in total awe when we saw how our reception space turned out in person.

I would strongly recommend Karma Goddess without any hesitation to any of my closest friends or family planning a wedding. You will remember this day for the rest of your lives, and having a team who is as invested and passionate about making your big day a success is more than worth it.

The best team

I cannot even put into words the gratitude I feel towards Vanessa and Kat. Our original planner had dropped out because we were doing 2 weddings in one day. We were both panicking because we were 5 months out. The moment we started working with Vanessa we immediately saw the difference of having a planner that truly loves her job. We both felt so confident and comfortable that we were in the best hands. Your wedding day can feel like a truly stressful day, let alone ours started from 6:45 and didn't end until 11pm and I truly never felt one ounce of stress. Vanessa you are so amazing at your job and I'm so happy you made our dreams come true. You got my vision from day one and really made it into a reality. Kat, I feel like I have a new best friend and you kept me so calm and made sure I got the BEST pictures. Every single person at our wedding came up to both of us and said they are the best wedding planners they've ever seen. By the end, we considered them part of the wedding and our guests

Experienced and professional - the BEST

If you are even remotely considering hiring Karma Godess, DO IT! I wasn’t sure how much we really needed to hire a planner but we would have been lost without Vanessa and Kat. Working with them eased so much stress and it was comforting knowing that someone was there to worry about all of the details and handle the many things we never would have thought of on our own. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, Karma Goddess made sure no stone was left unturned. But the best part about working with them was on the day of the wedding. As the bride, Kat was by my side all day making sure things ran smoothly and that I wouldn’t have to worry about a thing. Vanessa was boots on the ground at the venue, making sure all of the details came to fruition. Together, they are a powerhouse. They brought so much good energy and are a joy to be around. The best people to spend your wedding day with. Our wedding would not have been as incredible as it was without them. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you, Karma Goddess.

Amazing wedding planning experience working with Karma Goddess

We worked with Vanessa and Katya and they did a fantastic job coordinating with all the vendors, putting together a detailed scheduled, helping keep us organized, and making sure everything went smoothly! I don’t think I would have been nearly as calm on my wedding day without their help and knowing that they had everything handled

Best Decision!!

Hiring Vanessa and the team was the absolute BEST decision we could have made! As a “Covid Bride”, we ended up having a 2+ year engagement/planning process, and she really helped us roll with all the punches and keep the process fun from the start all the way through the big day. We genuinely enjoyed all of our meetings with her – she has a very positive and calming vibe, which can be very helpful! The final weeks leading up to our wedding were peak Omicron, and we had a lot of big wrenches thrown our way, but you would have NO idea because the wedding itself was absolutely flawless. If there were any actual issues the day of the wedding, I had no idea. Everything ran perfectly on time (even ahead!), and all of the details the day of tied together perfectly. I have never seen a wedding run so smooth. When I walked in to the room I literally started jumping for joy at how perfect everything came together. She really understood my vision, and was able to bring it to live. She provided great vendors, and worked well with the vendors that we wanted to bring in. I was able to completely let go the day of the wedding and leave all the details and coordinating to Vanessa and her team. It was so nice to just be able to focus on the fun stuff since I knew they had everything under control. Also shout out to Katya who spent a good portion of the day with making sure I was taken care of (including gluing my eyelash back on after cocktail hour). I felt they were genuinely invested in helping us have the best day possible, and could feel their excitement about our wedding. I couldn’t imagine going through this process with any other planner, and cannot recommend Karma Goddess enough!

The most incredible wedding planner

We truly can't say enough good things about Vanessa and Karma Goddess. We were one of the first COVID couples, with a wedding planned for March 2020. Not only did Vanessa stick it out with us for almost THREE years, but she made the entire process of canceling, postponing, and planning multiple weddings as seamless as possible. She took care of everything, making sure we never had to worry or deal with anything ourselves. She planned the most magical backyard COVID mini wedding and then outdid herself again planning our big celebrating a year later. Both celebrations were beyond our wildest dreams and went off without a hitch! We feel so incredibly lucky to have had her through such challenging, unknown times. A huge shoutout to Katya for being absolutely amazing on the day of our big wedding, prepared with everything a bride could need and making sure our day was relaxed, special, and incredibly fun. We can't recommend Karma goddess enough!

Best decision ever

I don’t even know where to begin with this amazing team. TLDR; book her ASAP, I have done a very thorough research of wedding planners in Miami and I guarantee you she will be the BEST, most personable, most genuine, and most professional wedding planner you will find.

Vanessa, from the moment I met her, had incredible energy and smile that made all the wedding planning stress go away. I honestly don’t know what I would have done without her. We had to move our wedding THREE times due to COVID. I still remember the first time we talked about possibly moving our original wedding date- 5/2/2021- when COVID first started. I was in denial, I could not believe it was happening, but Vanessa made it clear that I need to move my date ASAP in order for me to get the date I want. Our wedding was at Vizcaya, so of course, this popular venue was already full a year out but we were able to find another perfect date thanks to Vanessa’s quick phone calls and decisions. Everyone thinks moving wedding 3 times must’ve been very stressful, but it honestly was not at all with Vanessa by my side. She has such incredible relationships with all the vendors that everything just worked out so smoothly. Vanessa was there for me for TWO AND A HALF YEARS, always available to talk to. My wedding day was amazing because of her and her team. I managed myself to not cry throughout my wedding until I said goodbye to her in the end, I could not even get myself to give her a hug cuz I knew I was gonna start bawling- she was such an incredible support throughout and she made the wedding just MAGICAL. I still can’t believe how perfect everything was, my guests commented that it was not only the best wedding they have been to, but also so well programmed that it was a such a seamless and incredible experience for them. Weather was perfect (“vanessa magic”), we LOVED our photographer that Vanessa highly ecommended from the beginning, Korean traditional ceremony we put together last minute went amazing, DJ was so much fun, and just everything was PERFECT.

The only advice I want to give future brides is that you should just TRUST HER. I am the kind of person who needs to do a thorough research about everything to make sure I made the right choice, but all my research led me back to Vanessa’s first recommendation. So please, save yourself time, and just go with her recommendations. She knows the best. I don’t want to end this review because I feel like this will really be the end of my incredible journey with her, but my family, husband (!), and I want to sincerely thank all of the amazing team members of Karma goddess for working the magic and make our dream come true. We love you, and can’t thank you enough. Love, Jon & Esther

Fallon Wood Day of Wedding Planning/Coordination is the best!

Definitely worth spending the money to have Fallon Wood for your wedding day! Can relax and enjoy your day with your bridesmaids while she handles all of the day of coordination to make for a much more enjoyable and stress free wedding day! She kept us all on schedule, tweaked all issues and changes that arose (due to the weather), helped with all vendors and bridal parties, fixed all of the spills, wrinkles, forgotten items and so much more! She handled anything and everything thrown at her with a smile.

Truly brought zen to our wedding

When we began our search for a planner, we interviewed 5 different ones in the south Florida area. They were all great, but we chose Vanessa because we knew if sh*t hit the fan at our outdoor wedding, we trusted that she would be able to manage whatever it was. And Vanessa truly stepped up to the plate.

Leading up to the wedding, we had a few conversations (we got the 30 day package). All super informative and helpful. She has some wonderful recommendations - we hired our lighting and DJ and tents through her. She even helped us find a babysitting for some friends the weekend of the wedding and ordered our ice cream for us!

A few days before the wedding, Vanessa came to our house and picked up the MANY boxes of things for our wedding (we did a lot of DIY). The entire week leading up to the big day, the weather forecasted thunderstorms. We came up with a contingency plan together and she helped facilitate the plan with the tent vendor and the venue. When the big day arrived, it was pouring the morning. Fortunately the rain started letting up around 12pm. While we thought that we weren't going to get our dream outdoor wedding, Vanessa made sure that we did. She found a less muddy place for the ceremony, she brought rain boots for me to wear during the first look, she managed all the vendor set up the entire day. When she came to me around 1pm to tell me that our dream to have an outdoor wedding was going to come true, I literally cried!

Throughout the entire event Vanessa and her rock-star team made sure that everything was taken care of. Small things like making sure we had food / water, to bigger things like moving our uplighting around during the party. We're so happy we chose Karma Goddess and we highly recommend them for you future wedding!

Vanessa was recommended to me thru our vendor and the minute I met her I didn't need to look any further! My wedding was nothing short of amazing. Vanessa and her team made sure to keep us on time, covered everything we wanted (and more!), and they were so much fun to have around me on that day! She was detailed, creative, amazing, responsive and wonderful to work with! Thank you Vanessa for treating my wedding like it was yours!

Made our day run so smoothly.

Vanessa was literally a calming presences the weekend of our wedding. She was always so cool and collected and made sure any worry I had was acknowledged and taken care of. The day was very emotional for me and she knew just what to say to make me laugh and stop the tears prior to the ceremony. The day went so perfectly and I couldn’t thank Vanessa enough for making it all happen. She is truly amazing at what she does.

Vanessa and her team from Karma Goddess Event Planning are amazing!! We hired Vanessa as our day-of coordinator. Funnily enough it was the expense that I was most debating about spending, and it that turned out to be the expense that was the most worthwhile. We got married at Vizcaya and truly I couldn't have done it without Vanessa and her team! They were the ones who really made everything come together smoothly. Without them things would not have gone that beautifully. The evening turned out to be better than I could have ever imagined, and a lot of that has to do with Karma Goddess. Vanessa is an incredibly sweet person. Working with her was a true pleasure!
I would 100% recommend Karma Goddess Event Planning. If you are on the fence about hiring a coordinator I recommend going for it, you will not regret it!! Thank you Karma Goddess for making our special day the most wonderful day ever!!!

We worked with Sam for our wedding in Fort Lauderdale. My husband and I are not from Florida so hiring a wedding coordinator was one of the best things we could've spent money on, and Sam was worth every penny! She met with us two months before the wedding which was our last trip to Florida before the wedding. She picked up some things we brought down for the wedding so that we wouldn't have to worry about packing so much on the wedding weekend. She made a very detailed timeline, contacting each and every one of our vendors so that everyone was on the same page. She met a few times with the hotel coordinator as as other vendors even when we were not in town. We were constantly mailing her packages for the wedding and the day we landed for the wedding weekend - she met with us and gave us everything we had shipped. On the day of the wedding, she was constantly around, her colleagues were consistently making sure I was okay. She made the whole day go smoothly, especially with our procession and entrances. At the end of the wedding she dropped a bunch of our things back to our room so we wouldn't have to worry about it. She gave us a peace of mind we wouldn't have had had we attempted to manage the wedding on our own. She was so easy to talk to and answered texts at any hour of the day. We are grateful for her tireless energy and for allowing us to enjoy our wedding day without stressing about anything!

The Karma team completely blew me away. They took my dream wedding and executed every single detail flawlessly. As soon as I handed off the last bits and pieces to Sam Smith the day before, I felt completely at ease. I trusted her 1000% with everything that needed to be done. And Micaela was also incredible the day of. I never felt an ounce of worry. I knew everything would go smoothly with those two at the helm. I am recommending them to everyone I know! And, although I brought them on as day of coordinators, they were with me from the beginning answering any and every question I had as I was planning the wedding. This team is the only thing a bride needs the day of her wedding. Just incredible!

Vanessa and the entire Karma Goddess team did an incredible job helping plan my wedding this past November. We booked Vanessa a little over a year before my wedding and we met several times in person and had countless phone calls and email trails. She is sweet and so accommodating to anything you would like to request regarding your wedding. The wedding day literally went off without a hitch, if there were any problems she didn't make them known to myself or anyone in the wedding party. It was the most enjoyable and stress free experience having Karma Goddess on our wedding day! I would recommend Karma Goddess to anyone that is looking for a detail oriented planner with great vision and an extremely laid back and enjoyable experience.

If I could give Karma Goddess more than 5 stars I would! Hiring Vanessa and the Karma team was the BEST decision we made in wedding planning. From day one, Vanessa made the entire wedding planning process a breeze. She kept calm, organized, and provided me with amazing and creative ideas for just about everything. She understood my vision, and did everything in her power to bring it to life. I could not recommend Vanessa and the Karma Goddess team any more! Our Wedding was absolutely PERFECT and I know that is a testament to their AMAZING work. Vanessa and Sam were the best team to have with us on the day of our wedding!!!

We signed up with the Vanessa for the “stepping Up Contract”.
Vanessa found excellent vendors we were still missing and double checked every contract. She often gave us valuable advice as to what was more advantageous to us.
Vanessa was always readily available, gracious and a pleasure to deal with. She perfectly organized everything especially on the day of.
Vanessa also has excellent relationships with vendors and venue principals which is always a big plus when organizing an event.
We were very happy with Vanessa and her team and highly recommend her.

Vanessa did so much more that I expected to ensure my big day went as planned. I did day of Co-ordination but weeks in advance we was helping me with vendors and gave me amazing suggestions. Vanessa understood exactly what I wanted was so personable! All of our friends and family commented on how amazing Vanessa and Sam was in helping everyone get to where they needed to be. My day certainly would not have been the same without Karma Goddess. They are 100% worth it!!

If I could rate Karma Goddess with a 10 instead of 5, I absolutely would. Vanessa has a set of skills that goes above and beyond the talents I have ever seen in any other industry. She is incredibly enjoyable and calming to work with and I loved every single step of the process with her.

I hired her for full-time planning and she was an amazing planner. I can't say enough wonderful things. The vendors she recommended were unbelievable and she literally made this event come together with grace. It was a beautiful day and the best day of our lives and she is honestly the person to thank for bringing all the vendors together and leaving me nothing to worry about throughout my entire year of planning. If you are planning a wedding and need full-time planning and aren't sure if you need it just do it. She brings the Zen and calmness to the whole event that I didn't think existed.

As a person, Vanessa is hardworking and endlessly dedicated to her clients. She is fearless, and fun, and a contagiously joyful person to be around. She has added Sam to her team, who also helped run out event on the day of and she waas spectacular! We loved their careful attention to detail and their quick action in every situtation! Love them!

Vanessa and her staff were amazing and helped make the process nearly stress free. We had the package, which included planning beginning two month prior to the wedding date; however, once we signed the contract (even before two months) she sent me emails making sure I was on track with my planning, recommended amazing vendors (DJ, florist, and cake baker), and was super responsive to all my emails/questions. We had a situation come up with our caterer who was supposed to be providing our cake and she solved our problem quickly and professionally so as not to stress me out one month before the wedding.

On the day of the wedding, I truly felt like I had thing to worry about because Vanessa and her staff were more than able of handling any issues that would arise. I'm not sure if anything went wrong the day of, which is exactly how I wanted it to be. She's a fantastic wedding planner and I would recommend her in the future.

Vanessa is a true class act. I worked with her for a solid year planning my wedding, and she was incredible every step of the way. She recommended EXCELLENT vendors and handled tough situations both in the months leading up to the wedding and on the big day. She answered all of my questions, kept me right on track and made sure that I didn't have to worry about a thing on my wedding day. Her calm nature was exactly what I needed - even when a guest showed up with a.. *ahem* .. date that was not previously disclosed (and I definitely freaked out considering we had no room at his table), she handled it with professionalism and absolute grace. I'm sure many more things went wrong that day, but I never knew about any of them! She's a fantastic wedding planner, and I will miss working with her.

I hired Vanessa as a day-of planner and she went beyond what I could have ever expected or hoped in a planner. I cannot express this enough. I got married last month in Ft. Lauderdale, however, I live in Chicago so naturally I was worried about coordinating everything from across the country. Since the very beginning, she made me feel calm, made sure I was "on track" with what I should be doing, etc. On the wedding day, she dealt with my husband's very large family, made sure everyone was where they were supposed to be/when, coordinated with vendors - and did this all with a ridiculously soothing voice. I never, ever, ever felt overwhelmed. Hiring her was literally the best decision I made .... maybe second best after picking my husband to marry... but its a close second :)

Vanessa is amazing in every way you would want and need your wedding planner/coordinator to be. Not only is she incredibly responsive, knowledgable and reliable, but she is sweet, calm and supportive of the whole process. I can't recommend her enough. You will feel taken care of the whole way through and you will LOVE working with her.

I can't say enough about how great Vanessa was to work with for our wedding weekend! We used her and her company for planing and flowers/decor. The flowers and decor were outstanding and more beautiful than I could have imagined! My bouquet was jsut BEAUTIFUL and exactly what I wanted! Vanessa helped me a couple months out from the wedding and then throughout the wedding weekend. She was always calm, collected and organized, which made me stress-free! Throughout the process she was always available via email and phone, and responded promptly. She was wonderful to work with and I can't thank her enough for making our day perfect!! I would definitely recommend her and her team!!

I can't say enough great things about Vanessa at Karma Goddess. Planning a wedding albeit a smallish size wedding (70 guests) can be daunting in Miami. Luckily I was able to have Karma Goddess as my wedding planner and everything went off smoothly. I didn't have to worry about anything on the day of my wedding or the weeks prior. My husband and I were able to enjoy our amazing day all because of Karma Goddess. I still have several guests who tell me how much they enjoyed our wedding and I really do owe it all it it to Vanessa.
It's taken me so long to write a review because life got busy and I have an almost one year old now, but I still have great fond memories of working with Vanessa, even though it was almost two years ago!!! ; )

Vanessa was a joy to work with. She was so organized and put together and really helped me sort through the noise and giant, excessive to-do lists that can come with wedding planning. She is very grounded and not pushy at all and was overall just so wonderful. It was invaluable to not have to think about anything on the wedding day or even the whole week before, because i knew Vanessa had it taken care of.

I used Vanessa and her company Karma Goddess for my florals and day of planner for my wedding last month. The reception venue was a blank canvas and after just one telephone conversation, Vanessa understood my vision and executed on it to perfection. Vanessa and her team transformed the venue in ways I couldn't imagine and everything ran smoothly from the beginning of the day until the end of our perfect day. I have Vanessa and her team to thank for making our wedding day the perfect day.

I will first start by saying, THANK GOODNESS for Karma Goddess Event Planning and Design. The single best decision I made during the wedding planning process was hiring Vanessa Oppo and her company to plan and design the biggest event of my life. My husband and I had a specific vision for our wedding, something that was classic yet modern, simple yet chic, luxury yet affordable! Not only did Vanessa execute my vision perfectly and made my wedding a dream come true, she handled all vendors magnificently and more importantly, kept me SANE! I truly enjoyed the pre-planning process with Vanessa, I actually miss her already, awaiting to receive an email or phone call. There was not a request that she wasn’t open to asking for, there was not a fire storm that she wasn’t prepared to put out. We held monthly conference calls in the evening with our parents and they all truly adored her. On the day of, I can’t tell you if anything went wrong, because she handled everything and refused to allow anyone to contact us for any questions or concerns. I completely felt cared for by her and her team. Through all obstacles and challenges she continued to be the voice of reason. Karma Goddess is based out of Florida but my husband and I live in the Washington DC metro area, and she handled us as if we were local. I know that I have probably sent her hundreds of emails, texts throughout the entire planning process but she responded back to all of them and right away, even if later in the evening. She had a true concept of open door policy. I never had to reach out to her, she always provided me with a week’s agenda and action items list to concur that week and month. She never worried me with details that she could handle on her own.

Karma Goddess comes with vendor recommendations and management, budget planning and management, and time management. Vanessa is a consummate professional and hardworking and deserves every bit of success thrown her way. Vanessa THANK YOU!

The service I received from Karma Goddess was exemplary. I am an artist and for me to have a vision and have someone else able to get it spot on and bring it to life is extremely rare. I cannot thank Vanessa enough for working magic on a wedding that was put together in 45 days! I am one of the hardest person to please plus I seldom write reviews but choosing Vanessa and her team will make your special day a fabulous event!

It was wonderful and an absolute delight to work with Vanessa and her team at Karma Goddess for my wedding. I tend to get stressed easily and Vanessa has this natural approach to make people feel calm. From the moment we first met until the end of the wedding night, I felt at ease with Vanessa's professionalism, honesty and organization. It was so nice to know that I did not have to worry one bit the entire day and night of my wedding. I felt completely comfortable knowing Vanessa would take care of anything that came up and she helped in making this the happiest day of my life!

It was such a delight working with Karma Goddess. From our first meeting till the time our wedding was over, she was professional, courteous and helped more than we ever could have imagined. She made sure everything ran smoothly and at no point did anyone even realize she was there. If we ever get married again (and I'm not sure why that would happen, but just for the sake of hypotheticals) I can assure you that I'd call Karma Goddess up in a heartbeat.

Vanessa Oppo, of Karma Goddess was amazing to work with! She listened to my visions and ideas and ran with it and produced beautifully creative and energetic wedding for me and my husband. She executed the floral decor and the chuppah exactly as I envisioned it and I still have friends gushing over the wedding almost a year later! She was invaluable as the day-of coordinator and took care of all the vendors and the overall progression of the wedding so my mom and I were able to be guests at the wedding. She has such great energy and a calm vibe and helped me and my husband have the best day of our life! I would highly recommend her for event planning and decor/floral for a wedding!

Vanessa went above and beyond to make our wedding a special event. From suggesting the venue to designing the floral decor to executing the day of, she made our wedding day that much more special. We were fortunate to find her based on another wedding review and have nothing but praise for her. She made planning a wedding long distance easy and stress free. Our guests can't stop raving about what a wonderful time they had and neither can my husband and I! I highly recommend Vanessa and Karma Goddess. Vanessa is such a pleasure to work with.

Working with Karma Goddess (Vanessa) was a pleasure. Planning a wedding is possibly the most high-stress event ever, and Vanessa was there to keep it all together. Her calming way of getting things done helped to keep me, and those that were a part of my wedding, calm. Any thing I asked for she looked into and gave me honest opinions when I wasn't sure how to navigate certain situations. Vanessa took my random spattering of ideas for this wedding and pulled them together to make it a weekend my husband I will never forget. The day of the wedding she and her team were invaluable and having her there just made me all that more relaxed. Working with Vanessa kept a high-stress situation from getting out of control and I was able to enjoy marrying my husband. I cannot say enough good things about Karma Goddess, they are the best!

The best decision for our wedding was to hire Vanessa as our wedding planner! At first we didn’t think we would need one but what a blessing she was. We hired her for the day of planning, which involves planning from 2 months before the big day. It was a true pleasure to work with her! She is very knowledgeable of the industry and highly professional and creative. Every time we met with her we felt at ease. We also decided to hire her to do our wedding florals and décor. She knew exactly what we wanted but when we actually saw the finished product it exceeded our expectations! Our ballroom was exquisite! Everyone is still raving about it. It was wonderful to have her do both our planning and florals/décor! I highly recommend Vanessa even if you don’t think you’ll need a planner ;-) Thank you so much for making our wedding a dream come true V! Ele & Umbee

Vanessa Oppo is a floral genius! She must see thousands of brides but it certainly didn't feel like 'just another event' when we began to discuss ideas for floral arrangements, and decorations. Her passion for this business definitely shines throuh and wow does Vanessa have an eye for details. I would have never thought of using the colors she suggested or placing rhinestone cuffs around the bases of centerpieces which added that perfect touch of romance and glamour to the church and reception venues.

My only regret is not also hiring her as our wedding coordinator; however, my fiance and I were not aware that she provided such services at the time. We truly enjoyed working with Vanessa as she was not only patient, professional, and extremely organized but well connected with many of the highest rated vendors in South Florida.

I would recommend Karma Goddess to all brides who are looking for high quality and service!

I cannot say enough good words about Vanessa and her staff. I was referred to Karma Goddess by a co-worker and am so glad that I hired her to do the flowers for my wedding and day-of-coordination. She had multiple meetings with us to discuss the floral arrangements and all of the detalis. She took everything that I was imagining in my head and made it reality. She does amazing work and she beyond exceeded my expectations. Having her and her employee Jill coordinating the day of the wedding was so absolutely worth it. Everything went off without a flaw. If I could only recommend one vendor to hire for your wedding, it would be Karma Goddess. Thank you Vanessa!

We had decided on a destination wedding on the beach in Florida. Vanessa was recommended by the officiant that was performing our ceremony. Our vision was to have a simple beach wedding for about 20 people.

Vanessa made our day wonderful. From the initial meeting with her, she was very attentive and provided us with so many options to allow us to have the wedding we envisioned.

Our goal was to just show up. We did not want any of the stresses that go with planning a wedding. I am happy to say that Vanessa made that happen for us. She thought of everything down to providing a water station for the guests.

The ceremony turned out beautiful and exactly how we planned...simple and beautiful.

I would recommend Vanessa and her Karma Goddess staff.

I never in my life thought I would hire a wedding planner because I wanted to do it all myself. At the time of my wedding Karma Goddess offered "Day Of" packages so I decided to meet with them to see what it was all about. I am so glad I did. These ladies made my wedding day so pleasant and easy. I was actually able to enjoy myself and not worry about anything (and the bonus for me was that I still got to plan my wedding). They are so professional, personable, meticulous, and worth every penny! Someone told me it would be the best money spent, and they were right!

Vanessa was a pleasure to work with throughout the planning process. She always returned my emails within a day, had suggestions, and I changed my mind a few times and was patient with me. All of the bouquets, centerpieces and flowers were GORGEOUS. Everyone complimented them and said how amazing everything looked. She completely understood my vision and it looked awesome. We used her for our table linens, chairs, and napkins too. They looked great. I highly highly recommend Vanessa.

I absolutely could not have planned this wedding without Vanessa!! She took care of everything, helped me find my vendors, and didn't break a sweat when troubles arose. I felt completely comfortable with her from day one due to her calm, cool, and collected personality. She is very professional. On the day of the wedding she was there for over 12 hours doing everything! I can honestly say that my wedding was perfect because of her! I cannot recommend her enough!

Vanessa worked with me to design floral centerpieces and a place card display that would fit with the "Parisian" theme of the surprise birthday party I planned for my friend - the experience with her was an absolute joy from start to finish! The flowers were even better than I could have imagined or envisioned from our design meeting, and all the guests commented on how beautiful and lush they were. Our event was fairly small, but she was still able to keep costs manageable even though we weren't putting in a huge order (we had 4 larger centerpieces, 2 smaller coordinating accent pieces and a moss/roses place card display). It all arrived on-time and was set up/put in place by her staff, so it looked gorgeous and I didn't have to lift a finger! I will be using Karma Goddess for all my floral design needs in the future - thanks again, Vanessa!

Vanessa was absolutely amazing. She was super organized, super responsive and super helpful the day of. She helped my mom with her bustle of her dress, helped me when my dress tore and a drink was spilled on it, helped organize the ceremony, did the wedding day timeline and was the person I went for everything during my wedding. She took everything I gave to her that needed to be at the wedding and made sure it was all in the right place. She collected all the gifts and items that were used during the wedding that I wanted back. It was such a great decision to use Vanessa and I'd recommend her to anyone!

Vanessa at Karma Goddess is amazing!!! We had the full planning package and Vanessa helped us from the beginning. She was a great negotiator for us and gave us awesome ideas to customize our wedding! When it came time to pick a florist we met with a couple of options but we knew that Karma Goddess would get our vision the best! We are so happy we used Karma Goddess our day was absolutely perfect!!!

I hired Vanessa initially as my wedding planner but also contracted her to do my flowers. I can't put into words how grateful I am for her. My wedding was almost a disaster - literally. I was originally going to be married at the Breakwater on South Beach. However, after 10 months of struggling, compromising and being dealt blow after blow with that venue - the one that sealed the deal was 3 weeks prior to my wedding Vanessa informed me that Ocean Drive and it's adjacent roads would be shut down due to an event South Beach was having. Seriously? The Breakwater neglected to inform me of information that would prevent my vendors and guests from arriving to the event. Vanessa found out because she and her staff called Miami Beach to hire police officers to secure my venue due to the event they only told us about 1 week earlier. Had she not been calling to hire security, we would have never known. To make matters worse, I had a flight the following morning to Vegas for my Bachelorette so I was not exactly in a celebratory mood. Vanessa told me she would make it work out and she did.

The next morning before I left for Vegas, Vanessa held an emergency meeting with the Breakwater and asked me to come check out a new venue called The Bath Club after her meeting. To my utter surprise, she got all my money back from the Breakwater, and she found a venue that is out of this world for me to have my wedding. I felt surreal walking into that place thinking, 'Is this really happening?' the whole time. The Bath Club exceeded my expectations - I truly felt like it was an episode of "My Fair Wedding with David Tuttera" and that I had a magical transformation.

On the day of the wedding, when I walked into the ballroom (before it was even done) I almost cried because this almost didn't happen. The flower arrangements were out of this world. I wanted something different, modern, enchanted and she delivered that and more. I wish I could have kept them forever. I can never thank Vanessa enough for what she did. She is professional, creative and, most importantly, concerned - she cares about you and wants YOU to have the most amazing day possible.

I always had faith in Vanessa and her abilities. I know that even if we had to do it at Breakwater, it would have been great because she was organizing everything. But I believe it was fate that I chose her, because everything worked out for the better.

Ultimately, Vanessa was my Fairy Godmother (except way younger and prettier) and my friend :)

Vanessa and her staff provided the floral arrangements for my wedding and everything she delivered was fantastic! She does amazing work and she beyond exceeded my expectations. Not only that but the service she provided was excellent. While I struggled with other vendors she was such a breath of fresh air. She followed up promptly, was easy to work with and kept my budget in mind. Thank you Vanessa!

Vanessa and her associates did a magnificent job on our wedding. I planned everything myself - but I wanted to take at easy on the "Big Day" so Vanessa stepped in and took care of everything for me. She has packages to suit all your needs - even if you planned everything - it is always nice to have someone there to take care of anything in case there are problems. Vanessa is definitely your "go-to" girl!

Vanessa is truly an AMAZING wedding planner. I was anxious because I live in NY and was having the wedding in Miami. Vanessa handled a lot of the details on the ground in the days leading up to the wedding and also kept me calm and the process organized on the day of! She's got the one thing that every great wedding planner needs: GREAT JUDGMENT. She knows what to bring to the bride's attention and what to just take care of so that the bride can has a stress-free day! So I definitely recommend Vanessa at Karma Goddess; you won't be disappointed!!

Vanessa and her staff did a fantastic job before and during my wedding. There were a few little things that were overlooked or not properly explained, but it was overall very well worth it. Plus, even though Vanessa was just day-of, she helped us tremendously during the planning stage, finding vendors for us, getting deals for us, and working with vendors.

Karma goddess provided every care and detail possible to make our wedding perfect. Vanessa is fabulous and I would hire her again in a heart beat! My husband and I were so pleased with her work and dedication to us. Not only did she plan our wedding but our decor and flowers too which were gorgeous. Thanks to her fabulous planning we were actually ahead of schedule with everything and the night went on without a single hitch. She knows what she's doing and helped me feel at ease with everything, especially since I was planning the wedding from out of town. She went above and beyond as we hired her under the middle package which is not complete planning but more than day-of-coordination, yet she did more than expected! My husband and I were both very happy with the service and cost.

Karma Goodness is a great business who did a fantastic job on my wedding! I was so pleased with how my vision came to life! Vanessa really takes her time and listens to what her client wants! Everyone was in "AWH" of my flowers! They were perfect, so perfect it could go in a magazine! My bouquet was beautiful ! My wedding party loved theirs as well. The table at dinner/reception was just amazing! I would highly recommend this company to anyone! I cant stop thinking about how beautiful the flowers were and love looking at the all photos!
Thank you,
Vanessa and your team for making my wedding even more beautiful.
