    6-Week Planning

    I was referred to Karen by a colleague and with less than 6 weeks to plan, Karen delivered. My now husband, is a retired Army Colonel, who had high expectations. Karen did not disappoint and he is singing her praises. Not only did Karen understand our vision for a small intimate wedding at our home, but she exceeded our expectations and the expectations of our guests. She nailed it and our wedding continues to be the topic of discussion. Thank you Karen!

    Hello Olivia.
    I actually spoke to you on the phone to thank you for your review. I hope your first anniversary was AMAZING!
    I am so happy I was able to be a part of your great day and we exceeded your expectations. Blessing to you both!

    Cool, calm and professional

    Karen was just what I needed. She pulled me down off the ledge when I was about to jump, and she kept me focused when I was all over the place. 😊 She kept her promises, and handled my day with precision. The day went off without a hiccup. Knowing that she could handle every aspect of the ceremony gave me peace of mind. I would definitely recommend her to handle any occasion whether big and small. (PS, that is Karen in the picture adjusting my gown 😘)

    Deborah. Thank you. You both were amazing to work with. I am not sure why I am just seeing this, but THANK YOU.
    I am also happy to see you both are still going strong. 💜

    Wedding Day Vision Brought to Life!

    Working with KCDPI truly allowed me to relax and know that my wedding day vision would be fulfilled! I was so stressfree on my wedding day knowing that every detail was in perfect care with my coordinator. From her decor set up in the outdoor ceremony space to perfecting every centerpiece and special touch at the reception, it was truly the wedding that I always dreamed of. I received so many compliments on the details because KCDPI was working behind the scenes to make sure everything was picture perfect from start to finish.
    KCDPI also designed my beautiful wedding programs and seating charts to match the design of my wedding invitations. So happy we went with KCDPI! Our wedding day was in good hands with Ms. Karen and my husband could just enjoy the day without worrying about whether something would get done.

    Thank you! I dont think you truly know how appreciative I am for you doing so much for me. You didn't have to do it but yet you did and for that I am eternally grateful. My wedding day was exactly what I had asked for and dreamed of. I had a dream about it the night before the day and it was like the spitting image. I love you dearly and always will. Thank you again

    We strongly recommend KCDPI by Karen for all your wedding needs. She is truly a one stop shop! Karen is EXTREMELY talented and knowledgable. We were one of the couples that contacted her with less than 6 months before the wedding of 400 people. It was initially a 300 people but as the months got closer it ended up being 400. Karen went above and beyond for our wedding. My parents said over and over again that hiring her was money well spent! I wholeheartedly agree. Although we hired Karen as a day of coordinator, we were given assistance throughout the entire wedding process. I can only imagine how much attention to detail she gives as a full on wedding planner. Karen made our families wedding planning experience fun, stress free and seamless! Our day was perfect and give a lot of credit to Karen! I STRONGLY recommend KCDPI for all your wedding needs. If you are looking for a coordinator who is very knowledgable, patient, kind, professional, affordable, blessed and many more...KCDPI is the way to go. I forgot to add that we are Nigerians. Hopefully that helps too. She does all types of wedding Caribbean, Africans, Americans, and so on . Karen is definitely a blessing and I have and will continue to refer her to others.:) We were definitely honored and blessed to have her as our coordinator. I can't even begin to list all the things that we were lacking or did not know or consider prior to meeting her. Thank you so much Karen!

    Our experience with Karen was amazing! She was very professional, organized, patient and she is extremely talented. We gave her a vision for our big day and she was able to help deliver! Karen assisted us through the planning process and throughout the entire day of our wedding. She worked day and night to help us. I was never concerned that something wouldn't be completed because Karen was always 10 steps ahead! We had over 400 ceremony guest and Karen helped to design AND assemble all of the invitations. She's committed, she's awesome and a true blessing. We can't thank her enough!

    Thank you Karen! Our wedding was absolutely beautiful!

    Love,
    Kenny & Dominique

    Karen helped me plan an AWESOME 50th Birthday/23rd Anniversary party! She is a professional who knows her business! She has the patience of Job and was very flexible. The party was a HUGE success! I am still receiving calls and emails from friends and family memebers on how great the party was and what a great time they had. My feet are still dancing!

    From start to finish, my overall wedding experience with Karen was a wonderful one! Although I only hired her for "day of" coordinating, we met several times and communicated very often by phone or email. She provided a lot of great ideas and also listened to things that I wanted. As the wedding got closer and things became more stressful, she made sure to try and take as much burden away from me as possible so I could relax and enjoy myself. She is professional and very compassionate about what she does and not once did I have to worry about a thing. I thank her so much for helping me plan, design, and execute a picture perfect wedding ceremony and reception!

    Karen made me feel special and normal all at once. She helped me organize a large wedding party with very little planning on my part. I trusted her completely, and she didn't let me down. I highly recommend her.

    Karen is one of the best event planner's we have ever met. From the moment we met her, we knew we were in great hands with the coordinating of our wedding day. Karen made herself available and handled anything we needed. Karen assisted us with rehearsal and made our decor for our reception look absolutely amazing. All of our guests raved about our event and are still talking about how everything was so organzied. Thank you Karen for making our day so special. We highly recommend KCDPI for all events.

    It is my esteemed pleasure to write a review for KCDPI, LLC (Weddings & Events by Karen).

    Wow, where can I start! From the moment that my now husband and I met Karen, she was a complete joy to work with. Any mishaps that occurred were solely on my part. Despite it all- Karen was there with routine check-ins and questions. Our theme centered on the eye of the peacock’s feather thus dubbing the entire affair “Pretty as a Peacock!” Karen completely brought our vision to life.

    It such a delight to see the atrium at Newton White Mansion decorated in beautiful hues of turquoise and amethyst accented well with silver. All of my DIY projects were well integrated not to mention Karen’s touches that made for a very elegant look and feel. My guests are still asking for the limited centerpieces.  Our guests loved how well everything looked and she even oversaw our food service.

    When pitter patter feet walk our way- we will be calling for her baby shower services!!!!

    Thank you Karen! I wish that I could attach a picture.

    Love,
    Mr. & Mrs. Robinson <3

    Mrs. Karen Carter, the wedding coordinator for KCDPI, LLC, was wonderful to work with during the planning of my wedding this past September! Her attitude was very, very positive! Mrs. Carter was very professional, extremely eager to meet my desires and needs, most patient and flexible, and lots of fun to work with!!! Not only did she offer many exciting ideas and suggestions, but more importantly she was a superb listener and was very receptive to any suggestions/requests that I made and cheerfully worked hard to fulfill them. I also appreciated the composure she demonstrated when faced with challenges and finding ways to overcome them. She was centered on making my wedding day what my husband and I dreamed it would be-OUR SPECIAL DAY! I am very grateful to Mrs. Carter, and her assistants, for the assistance and support they provided as well as their personable mannerism. Mrs. Carter helped to make the planning a very fun and exciting experience and the wedding day one that will never be forgotten!!!! I am forever grateful!!!!!
