    Carin and Wendy were truly the DREAM TEAM! We hired her for Day of Wedding planner services and they truly went ABOVE AND BEYOND for our wedding day. Carin the owner is the most organized person you will ever meet! I was a little nervous about hiring anyone because i am extremely controlling and it's very hard for me to let others take over; especially when it came to our DIY wedding. But she makes sure to know every single detail for your day, from the small details to what you want out of the day, the timeline, she handles the rehearsal the day before, handling vendor issues, keeping photographer within the timeline, and making sure the whole day runs smooth. She is super personable and all around the sweetest person ever! She took 100000 lbs off my shoulders and my stress basically disappeared when I met with her and went over all our details. She did more than I could ever imagine and even gave me some words of encouragement before walking down the aisle. I would truly recommend her and her team a million times our wedding day would've never been the same without her and Wendy!!!! <3

    The perfect planner!

    Let me start by saying how incredibly fortunate we were to have chosen Wendy as our planner! She was the BEST. Our perfect day would not have been what it was without her. She was extremely organized and didn’t skip a beat throughout the whole process. She quickly responded and followed up on emails, gave honest recommendations, reassured us if we had any concerns, and was there the day of with her team to make sure everything ran smoothly. Thank you, Wendy!

    The Best Decision We Made!

    Wendy was our wedding planner and was exceptional from start to finish! From the beginning she took the time to get to know us and our vision for our wedding and then miraculously made it happen without one hiccup! Every detail for our three day event was thought through with meticulous attention and every vendor she matched us with was extraordinary. Wendy made the entire process easy and stress free - we honestly could not have done it without her! Her assistants, Kim and Tisa, also went above and beyond. Many of our guests commented to us that it was the most amazing, most beautiful and overall best wedding they had been to! And every guest raved about Wendy, which says something!

    Carin and Wendy were absolutely fabulous! Originally I was skeptical when the venue suggested that I get a day of planner, I felt like I totally could handle all the little details myself. I don’t think I could have been more wrong, I leaned on them for so many things and they helped make our day perfect and stress free! I highly recommend them.

    I could not say enough wonderful things about Carin Kronheim. She planned everything for my wedding and events leading up to it with excitement, attention to detail, and only my best interest and wants at heart. She is incredibly reliable, flexible and adaptable to whatever last minute changes or challenges you make or need.

    She warned me about April showers when I we wanted my garden outdoor wedding with no tent at the end of April. Yet she did her absolute best to accommodate me until the last minute I caved and we rushed to find a tent. It looked even more magical than I could have dreamed with the tent and chairs. It did rain, and as all wedding planners will tell you that raining on your big day is good luck, she went a step further and captured the rain from our wedding day and sealed it with "love" for my husband and I to cherish forever.

    We also had an amazingly difficult time finding wooden fold out chairs the way I wanted them. I can't even count how many vendors she contacted and negotiated contracts with until we found the perfect one, with the perfect price.

    Carin made my wedding my dream wedding and there is no way I could have done it without her. I can keep going but I'm writing this on my phone and I don't think I have enough room to fit it all!!

    Love,
    Your garden bride ~ Kimberly Cox

    Cannot recommend Wendy enough!

    Wendy is great! I could not have asked for more. Wendy did a great job at listening to our wishes, getting to know us, and helping to steer us towards decisions that were right for us. She is extremely organized and seemed to know just when to reach out to put my mind at ease throughout the process. I only wish I had enlisted her help sooner! I cannot recommend her enough :)

    I am beyond grateful and blessed to have Carin as our day of planner. I wish I would of had her through the entire planning process! Because of Carin and her assistant, our day was absolutely perfect! She is passionate about her brides and works hard to make your day extra special and stress free. I will definitely recommend Carin to anyone getting married in the Keys.

    Best Wedding Planner of All Time

    Wendy was absolutely amazing. Her and her crew went above and beyond to make sure all my needs were met and then some. My wedding went just as planned and I loved every second of it. They were beyond helpful in all aspects and were very organized.

    Carin was such a great wedding planner. I couldn't have had such a wonderful wedding without her. I didn't have to stress about any of the details because I knew she would be able to make everything how I wanted it. I 100% recommend her if you need a wedding planner, she is amazing.

    Carin is absolutely fantastic! She knows what she is doing and it shows in her work. I can be a bit controlling & I ended up planning everything (with friends help) and just had her as the day of. I wish I would have gave in and got her as full time because after I hired her I felt so much relief knowing I had her. She was right there anytime I had a question, needed advice or even needed a friend. She is truly passionate about her job and makes your wedding perfect like as if it were hers. I remember showing up in the limo and I just had to take a breath because everything was set up just like I pictured and it was just perfect. The whole night I didn't have to worry about a thing and I was able to relax and have the best time. I love you Carin and thank you so much for everything you have done for us.

    Love,
    Mr. & Mrs. Travis Wilson

    Amazing wedding planner!

    When Marty and I got engaged, we knew we wanted something on a beach, in the Keys and intimate for the two of us. But we lived several states away and that seriously hinders the ability to plan a wedding of your dreams to your soulmate. We immediately agreed it would be much better to hire a wedding planner and have someone guide us on our decisions for the wedding. I interviewed several planners, and immediately felt comfortable with Wendy. She was knowledgeable, friendly, fun and had some wonderful ideas.

    We wanted our day to be special, memorable and amazing. Wendy helped us to create a day that was better than we had dreamed. I worried that since it was such a small wedding (just the two of us and two guests), that we may not get the same attention as if we were having a very large wedding. But that is not the outcome. Wendy made us feel that our day was more special than anything and gave us attention that made us feel we were her only clients. Wendy found us the best vendors to work with and our day was so amazing - it would never have been possible without her.

    Wendy was very responsive, stayed on top of every aspect of the planning and gave me reminders when something was due. She helped to get contracts for us, helped us find the perfect fit for every single aspect of our wedding day - from the floral arrangements, the setup, the location, hair and makeup, photography, cake, music, dinner, and even our fishing excursions. Once we were in Islamorada, she met with us, verified all was on track and was with us to help us again the day of our wedding.

    I look back on that day and I am so grateful to Wendy for helping me to have those memories. I married the love of my life that day, but it was because of Wendy that it was so special to us! Thank you Wendy!!! --Stacey and Marty Wilson

    Fantastic and Flexible

    Wendy was amazing! We hired her for month-of coordination and we secured the major vendors, but then she swooped in and made all the details thereafter super easy—for both us and the vendors. We had our wedding planned for a beach but we were rained out but she fixed everything very quickly and we were married on a beautiful veranda. Not what we had planned but just as perfect! Also, I had to worry about nothing the day of. I was able to focus on my wedding and have lots of fun. If we had hired someone else with less experience with our venue, we likely would have gotten married inside, but Wendy knew our venue (Baker’s Cay) like the back of her hand and came up with the idea for the veranda. We are so thankful, and think having Wendy was one of our best investments in our wedding day.

    When we decided to do a destination wedding in the Florida Keys we chose to work with Carin at Key Destination Wedding & Events, and I am so glad we made that choice. From the moment we met with Carin to learn more about her and the services she offered, we knew she would be the right person to help us plan our wedding. Carin & Wendy are both extremely knowledgeable about the Florida Keys area and all the local vendors. They were so helpful in setting up appointments, tastings, and vendor meetings for us and ensuring we chose the best vendors for our budget and style. Through their help, I felt like I was able to establish relationships with each of our vendors and not feel like "just another bride" coming through.

    When our venue was destroyed by Hurricane Irma in Fall 2017, and we had to find a new location just 4 months before the wedding, Carin was able to help us find a new venue that we loved even more than the first venue. I don't know what we would have done without her help - her expertise of the area and her inside knowledge of the state of the Keys after the hurricane was invaluable.

    On the weekend of our wedding Carin & Wendy were there every step of the way, helping with set-up and break-down, and ensured everything ran smoothly. Throughout our wedding weekend I was truly able to sit back and watch it all happen and soak up every moment. Choosing to work with Carin for full-wedding planning was the best and most-important decision we made for our wedding.

    I actually couldn’t have done it without her!

    I truly cannot imagine my wedding experience without Wendy. The thought of planning a destination wedding really overwhelmed me and I didn’t feel like I had the time to create the wedding I truly wanted. Luckily I found Key Destination Weddings & Events! Wendy was always available for questions I had, and had a solution for every issue I ran into. Even though the idea of a destination wedding felt scary at first, working with Wendy really made the experience seamless.
    The day of my wedding, all I had to do was walk down the isle, eat cake, and drink champagne. Wendy and her team handled every little detail allowing me to truly enjoy the day. She managed all the design elements of my wedding as well, and was able to create the modern tropical vibe of my Pinterest board dreams. I am forever grateful to Wendy for creating this day and these incredible memories for me!

    Hire these girls

    If you're on the fence about hiring a planner/coordinator, DO IT. For yourself, for your family and friends-DO IT. Wendy and her team made my wedding day so stress free even my family was confused. They did everything-from arranging the gift table and florals and signage to having a flower girl basket I stupidly thought the florist would provide (they didn't). I would have been a mess sending my mom to Walgreens had Wendy not taken charge and with no qualms, went and got a basket with no problem at all. They kept the whole day on time so nobody was bored and waiting around for us or any particular vendor-I didn't answer my phone all day, and they brought all the stuff in the bridal suite back to my hotel room so I didn't have to lift a finger. These girls were worth their weight in GOLD. This was all for our little 35 person scaled down, twice postponed ceremony after 2 years (which they were also amazing at accommodating our 2 date changes!). If you have more than 50 people at your event-you need to hire KDWE!

    Made The Day SO Smooth

    We hired Wendy and her team as our Month of Wedding Coordinator and it was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We were coming from New Jersey and we wanted someone who not just knew the places but could also help us in that final crunch time. She made so many great recommendations after I gave her some invoices and pointed out things I should look into or do. One example was getting string lights for the beach area which I never would have thought of if not for her and our guests talked about how good of an idea that was. The day of the wedding also could not be more smooth. She was there early to make sure we got everything we ordered and were all in the perfect places. I am a worrier and I was nervous I was going to be anxious the whole day and during the wedding but Wendy put my mind at ease and we had the absolute best day ever in large part due to Wendy and her team.

    The BEST wedding planning team!

    Carin and Wendy were absolutely everything we needed and more!! I was a pretty chill bride with not a ton of specific requests, and they filled in all the blank spaces for me and more. They made me feel so confident that everything was taken care of and it was! They have great relationships with other vendors, which speaks volumes because it means discounts/perks for their clients, plus vendors are thrilled to work with them in a small market where everyone knows everyone. Highly highly recommend!!!

    I couldn't have had a better experience working with Carin of Key Destination Weddings! She was a pleasure to work with and an absolute life saver! She helped me find an all-star team of vendors and a beautiful site. She was also there to help with decorating dilemmas of mine and the logistics of the whole event. There is no way our wedding would have turned out as wonderful as it did without her. I am so grateful to have had Carin and would highly recommend her to anyone having a Keys wedding!!

    If you are reading this and thinking about hiring a wedding planner for your wedding, stop thinking right now and book Carin with Key Destination Weddings & Events! I recently had my destination wedding in Key Largo and hired Carin for the mid-level planning package. She is super organized and will make sure that you not only have all of your vendors lined up, but that you have the BEST vendors. I think I chose every one of her recommended vendors and I am so happy that I did! Carin helped me through my entire wedding planning process - giving me advice on color schemes, wedding gifts and even designed my wedding invitations for me! We got married at the Key Largo Lighthouse Beach and since she is their preferred planner, she knows that property inside and out. Carin had everything under control from the Rehearsal Dinner to the Wedding Ceremony to the end of the Reception. I am so happy that I was able to actually enjoy myself during my wedding weekend instead of rushing around trying to make sure everything was in order. She and Katie used a minute by minute schedule to keep everything on track and had solid backup plans in case things didnt go as planned. Also, as an out of town bride, you forget the little things that you won't have at your disposal when you get to the wedding (i.e. cake stand, toasting flutes, cake cutting knife, etc.). Well, never fear, Carin has all of that on hand for you to use. Hiring Carin was one of the best decisions I made and I highly recommend her!
