    A Wedding To Die For

    Karla was a breath of fresh air through the entirety of preparing for our wedding day. When my husband and I booked Hanover Vegetable Farm, we were blessed to have her as part of the venue as our coordinator. Karla went above and beyond through our 2 year engagement to ensure our vision was met. Including contacting Red Vein Haunt (where my husband and I had our first date and have been going every Halloween for 7 years now) to ask if our guests could attend the haunt before they open as part of our cocktail hour (THEY SAID YES!). Karla even went so far as to contact one of our vendors and ask them to bring a couple strips of red uplighting to use when we passed the chapel scene of the haunt for photos. Everything that day was truly magical and more than I could have ever hoped for. Karla was beyond professional, was always there to answer questions (most of the time immediately after I texted her), and put my mind at ease with all worries I had planning the big day. As most all of our decorations were handmade (perks of having an unconventional wedding date/theme lol), I especially appreciate the care she took when helping us set up the ceremony and reception barn. The whole time I felt like I was talking to a friend I've known for years! Brides do yourself a favor and book Karla as your planner/coordinator today. You owe it to yourself to have someone like her to listen to you and ensure you that your vision isn't too crazy and go the extra mile to help you plan the perfect day. Thank you Petals and Lace!

    Absolutely raving about Karla and Petals and Lace Events!

    We cannot say enough positive things about Karla and Petals and Lace Events. She and her team were communicative, prompt, professional, energetic, kind, and so much fun! Karla assisted me in creating a custom package in between wedding planning and day of coordination. I cannot imagine our wedding without her.

    Hire Karla and her team now!!!

    I seriously do not have enough great things to say about Karla and her team. Karla is the nicest person and was sooo much fun to work with throughout the whole process! The entire time I felt like I was talking to a friend, not a wedding vendor. She was extremely responsive, answered all of my questions, and had beautiful ideas for our wedding. There were times when I'd send her an email and she would immediately text me with an answer. I always felt comfortable reaching out to her with anything I needed. She and Katelyn managed the wedding day absolutely perfectly. I had multiple guests tell me that it was the most organized wedding they had ever been to and that the flow of the night was perfect. They set up the reception space so beautifully and I just felt so comfortable and at ease all day knowing that Karla and Katelyn were there. Thank you ladies so, so, so much for the absolute perfect day! Brides, do yourself a huge favor and book them now! :)

    Petal and Lace Events - amazing wedding planner!

    We had the most amazing experience using Karla from Petals and Lace Events for our daughter’s wedding. She effortlessly handled all of the details from planning and set up through the seamlessly executed outdoor ceremony and tent reception. The wedding was held at a family farm and Karla was instrumental in turning an open field into a magical wedding venue. As the parents of the bride, we impressed with Karla’s professionalism, her coordination skills, her industry contacts and her talent for making everything run smoothly. We even think she planned the perfect weather! We would recommend Karla 1000%!

    Couldn't have had a better experience!

    When my husband and I decided to have our wedding on family property in Virginia (while we're living in Colorado) we knew that a wedding planner would be necessary in pulling off a successful event.
    We decided to hire Karla after our initial conversation because of her professional background and to-the-point communication style. She helped us organize all the things that go into a one-time outdoor event (tent, rentals, power, lighting, bathrooms...) and made everything look effortless.
    She made the planning process so much lighter for us, worked well with every single vendor we hired, gave her honest opinions based on her experience, and made an incredible event happen. She was always quick to respond to messages, and any time I told her I was stressed or worried about something, she took it on immediately and solved whatever problem I was having.
    I can't imagine the planning process without Karla, and am still so thankful that we had her throughout!

    Nothing short of amazing!

    We feel so lucky to have worked with Karla for our wedding. We had a vision in mind and she worked tirelessly to bring that vision to life for us. With any hiccups along the way, she took the lead, kept us updated, and shouldered the stress for us. You can tell that she cares so much about her couples and will go the extra mile for them. When you work with Karla, you not only get an incredible wedding planner, but you also get a friend. We truly cannot say enough good things about Karla and her team.

    Karla is by far the BEST!

    I cannot thank Petals and Lace Events enough. Our daughter got married this past weekend and we could not have done it without Karla. KARLA IS AMAZING! She worked with us every step of the way from the unexpected venue change, décor, set up, vendor suggestions, and most of all answering all my (bridemomzilla) crazy texts, emails and phone calls. She is a true professional; she is knowledgeable and super resourceful. She went above and beyond to ensure that Kelly and Josh enjoyed their special day. Thank you so much for making the day so perfect. We love you!

    You want Karla on your team!

    Karla was an absolutely incredible resource for helping my wife and I build the wedding of our dreams! After we had a falling out with our first wedding planner, Karla came in with just 7 months until the big day and immediately gave us the peace of mind we so desperately needed.

    As the groom, I had never put much thought into my wedding before I proposed, and being able to text and call Karla to bounce ideas, questions, and concerns off of gave me the confidence that we could really pull off a fantastic wedding. She came to every site visit, worked with vendors behind the scenes, and kept all of our contracts, planned events, and small details organized.

    When the morning of our wedding came, Karla and her team were a tour de force, keeping the symphony of vendors and staff working like a well oiled machine. After hundreds of hours spent worrying about the smallest details, being able to spend our entire wedding day WORRY-FREE was incredible. Of all the investments made towards our wedding, hiring Petals and Lace was hands down the best money spent.

    If I could go back in time and change one thing about my wedding, it would be hiring Petals and Lace the day I proposed.

    Truly a Superhero

    Karla has been a lifesaver time and time again. In a time when I had to step back from wedding planning to handle some family events, she worked with my now husband and somehow pulled the wedding of my dreams out of then air. We could NOT have done it without her.

    Sheila Cotman

    We knew that we would need a wedding planner for the month before my daughter’s wedding. Karla Crisp with Petals and Lace was a name that was given to us as someone who came highly regarded. When we met with her we knew she was going to make this planning process easy!!! She was there for us day and night and the wedding rehearsal and wedding ran like clockwork. Karla you were great and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. 💕 The Cotman/Poegl Families

    A supported experience

    I had to plan my entire wedding in 6 months. As you could imagine, finding vendors was very stressful. Karla with Petals and Lace was extremely helpful with making suggestions, sending me lists of vendors, problem solving. Without her, I literally would not have hair/make up for the big day!! Karla helped me through every step. She was unable to be there the day of my wedding however she had two excellent petals and lace employees to help me through my big day. Sarah and holly were wonderful! Highly recommend.

    Amazing- hire her!

    I cannot say enough good things about Karla. We were planning our wedding for over a year and she was a tremendous help from the minute we hired her. She helped with every little detail and any question I had along the way. All of the vendors we used at our wedding were recommended by her and were just as amazing. The day of the wedding I didn't have to worry about a thing. Karla took care of everything from the set up, coordinating with vendors, and made sure the ceremony and reception went perfectly. I cannot imagine planning my wedding without Karla, she helped our perfect day come to life and I would hire her a thousand times over!! she is the best!

    Incredible!

    Karla is incredible. Everything with our wedding turned out amazing. She worked so well with all of the other vendors and prepared so well for any possible catastrophes. Thankfully there weren't any, but even if there were we would not have even known about it because she's that good. She even made sure we were able to eat without being interrupted which was so appreciated! It seriously could not have been done without her! She is excellent and I highly recommend!

    Karla was absolutely amazing!

    My husband and I couldn’t have had our dream day without her there to work her magic. She helped us so much throughout the entire planning process and went above and beyond. Karla was there to answer any questions we had, offer advice and wisdom, and keep us straight.

    On the day of our wedding, it was pouring down rain and there were wind gusts of 50 mph. Karla handled it like a champ and helped me remain calm, letting me know that I would get the outdoor wedding I had always dreamed of! She was also honest and straightforward throughout the entire process. Everything ran so smoothly on the day of and we wouldn’t have changed a thing!

    Karla is absolutely worth every penny!

    If you need someone to help execute your wedding day vision to a T, Karla is the wedding planner you need! She took my inspiration photos, decor, ideas, and her expertise and turned my venue into the wedding of my dreams! All of her vendor recommendations were amazing and our wedding rehearsal and wedding day couldn't have run any smoother!

    Fabulous Experience !!!

    Karla is absolutely amazing, and such a pleasure to work with. As the mother of the bride, I wanted my daughters wedding day to be PERFECT! Karla saw to it that it was. She was able to understand and execute our vision completely. Her vendor recommendations were spot on. During the 15 month planning process, whenever my daughter or I had a question she was there with an answer. She was always quick to respond to texts and phone calls. She kept both the rehearsal and the wedding day on schedule. Everything flowed without issue. I could not have been more pleased with the entire process. I was able to enjoy the day along with my daughter and never once worried about even the smallest detail. I knew Karla could handle whatever was needed. She was always on time for our calls as well as in person meetings when needed. Her reputation precedes her. Each of the vendors we used had only great things to say about her and stated they always knew the event would run smoothly if she was the coordinator. After my daughter and her fiancé chose their wedding date and the venue was secured, we interviewed three wedding coordinators prior to choosing Karla. She was our top choice, so we wasted no time in securing her services. BEST DECISION EVER! Thank you so much Karla for helping us give our daughter her dream wedding day! It was truly a pleasure working with you.

    Incredible

    When I say that Karla SAVED my husband and me big time, I mean it. There was a miscommunication, and we didn't realize that we needed a day of coordinator until about 2 weeks before our wedding...Karla was recommended to us by our caterer, and she responded quickly, immediately started figuring out how she could make our lives easier, and took away all of the stress dealing with planning and prepping. My only wish is that we found her sooner!! I have already recommended her to all of my friends and will continue to do so. Karla and her team are the best!!!

    Best choice of the entire wedding.

    Best choice of the entire wedding! After speaking with several wedding coordinators, it became abundantly clear that Karla was the perfect choice. She encompasses knowledge, grace, poise and wonderful communication skills. From the moment that Karla signed on, I felt like a weight had been lifted off of my shoulders. Her creative eye and vendor knowledge was so helpful and her ability to anticipate issues was priceless. From a broken bustle button, to an extra guest at the wedding, to ensuring that my husband and daughter were prepared for their walk down the aisle, Karla was a calming presence and a huge asset on the day of the wedding. I had complete faith that she would handle any and every situation that would arise. I would highly recommend hiring Petals and Lace for your wedding needs!

    MVP of our wedding, without a doubt.

    TL;DR - Worth every single penny, and would hire 10x over again, Karla was THE best money we spent regarding our entire wedding.

    We married in Hurricane Ian, after planning our non-traditional/hyper unique wedding from across the country. We had a lot of large day-of changes due to the Hurricane, and no part of our day would have gone smoothly without Karla. In hindsight, myself & the bride honestly believe that the only vendor we couldn’t live without was Karla.
    From initial planning & ideas, to problem solving, helping us through recommending vendors & rentals, and listening to us vent of our worries & stressed, Karla was the support that we needed.

    In practice she’s very frank & to the point; she made sure to say “that’s not going to go smoothly” or “I wouldn’t recommend that”, and it made it incredibly easy to remind ourselves that Karla & her team have done this before, we hadn’t! That straightforward professional wisdom & advice is absolutely invaluable, and made it so that we were constantly focused on the fun things in the planning process. We had an ice cream truck, a mobile bar-cart, and buffet-served bbq at a Cidery in Richmond Va, split by a happy-2-hours at barcade where we’d initially met. Karla seamlessly helped time our day, our vendors, and our experiences.

    We came into town 3 days before our wedding, and had a final meeting + walkthrough at our locations, and Karla had already prepared contingency plans for the Hurricane, vendor switches, secured us a tent just in case, and moved our timelines accordingly. It saved us SO much stress, and we actually got to enjoy our time.

    For the day of, our wedding was epic, and it was largely epic because of her hard work in organizing our vendors and timeline, her Hurricane-disaster-planning, and her guidance. I was a high-maintenance groom, and Karla’s little encouragements/supportive role made an incredible difference in my day-of confidence & anxieties. My wife, too, found that Karla was “literally the best” (she said so 01737282x while we were honeymooning & reflecting on our day).

    Karla & her team were the best investment we made for our wedding, we wouldn’t have had the day we did without her. Forever grateful.

    Absolutely Amazing

    She is absolutely amazing. A 10/10. I am someone who thought they could do this on my own and didn’t realize I needed help. Boy was I wrong. Karla has to be the best in the business. I couldn’t recommend her more!

    Hands down the best coordinator in the business. Karla made our wedding day perfect. Even when things inevitably went wrong, she was already on top of it with a solution. Karla is professional, organized, and truly cares about her couples. You won’t find a better event coordinator!l!

    A great experience!!

    I only wished we had known about her earlier and had hired her earlier. We were very happy with her expertise and knowledge. She made my daughter feel so much better about HER day. She helped take the place of her mother who had passed.
