  Karen is Amazing!

  One of the best decisions we made for our daughter’s wedding was having Karen as our wedding planner! My daughter wanted her wedding at Ponte Vedra Inn in Ponte Vedra, FL, but we are not from the area, so we were initially a bit concerned about finding vendors and organizing everything. We needn’t have worried. Karen made the whole process so seamless! She found us fantastic vendors including florals, photography, videography, hair and make-up, lighting, and musicians. Everyone she recommended was so nice and did such a great job! She made sure everything for the special day was just how my daughter and her husband had envisioned it! Karen provided us timelines of when things needed to be decided and paid which was so incredibly helpful! She was always available for questions and was so kind to work around our schedules and have calls with us in the evenings. Karen also had many great suggestions along the way, many of them for things we hadn’t even thought about, but were a big hit at the wedding like fun LED wands for dancing at the reception. On the day of the wedding, we were all relaxed knowing Karen had things well organized. The ceremony and reception all turned out so beautifully, and that was in large part thanks to Karen! I highly, highly recommend Karen and St. Augustine Weddings!

  The Perfect Day, Thank You to Karen

  Being from St. Augustine, when my wife and I first got engaged, we thought we would be able to handle it all. Let me tell you, Karen from St. Augustine Weddings & Special Events was an absolute lifesaver for us.
  
  First and foremost, Karen's dedication brought an incredible joy and sense of relief to my wife and myself. It was remarkable to witness the way Karen effortlessly grasped our wedding vision from the outset, and her commitment to bringing it to life truly exceeded our expectations.
  
  The timing couldn't have been crazier either – we were right in the middle of moving from Colorado to California when we started planning. We were stressed out just thinking about trying to coordinate everything on top of the move, but Karen made it easy. She handled every detail with such professionalism and grace, I honestly don't know how we would've pulled it off without her.
  
  One thing that really stood out to me was how proactive she was throughout the entire process. She was always one step ahead, anticipating our needs and making sure everything was taken care of before we even had to ask. It was such a relief to know that we were in such capable hands.
  
  And let me tell you, she's just so easy to work with. Even with all the stress and chaos that comes with planning a wedding, Karen always had a calm and reassuring presence. She listened to our concerns, offered her expert advice, and made us feel like we were her top priority every step of the way.
  
  On the day of the wedding, Karen and her team were absolute rockstars. They handled every detail flawlessly, ensuring that everything ran smoothly from start to finish. From coordinating vendors to managing last-minute hiccups, they took care of everything. Their dedication allowed my wife and me to truly immerse ourselves in the moment and enjoy every precious second of our special day without a single worry. Karen's expertise and attention to detail made all the difference, and we'll forever be grateful for the unforgettable memories they helped create.
  
  Overall, I can't recommend Karen and St. Augustine Weddings & Special Events enough. She truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day everything we dreamed of and more. If you or anyone you know is getting married, do yourselves a favor and hire Karen – you won't regret it.

  Stress Free Wedding of Our Dreams

  We truly have nothing but positive things to say about Karen and her team! My fiancé and I both felt nervous to start the process of planning a wedding, just knowing how stressful they can be. There wasn’t one moment where we felt overwhelmed by stress and we always knew the next step of the process and what we needed to do. Karen had consistent calls set up with us and made my fiancé and I feel so involved. She was able to capture the image we had in our heads, and every single detail on our day was exactly how we had envisioned it. She was also able to line up an amazing list of vendors for us, and took care of most of the communication with them for us. I would recommend her and her team to anyone I know getting married - she’s the best!

  Best day ever

  Karen has helped us out so much. She made our day special and took work of our hands that we didn’t even know we had to do. She made sure our day went smoothly and we were able to enjoy ourselves and our wedding. 100% would recommend.

  The "best of the best"!

  We were referred to Karen by a friend and after speaking with several venues, quickly learned she was the "best of the best". We were very fortunate to have her as our wedding planner. She is incredibly talented and knows the wedding and St. Augustine/Jax market very well. She assisted with vendor selection and took over 6 weeks out. She is the perfect mix between kind and highly organized and kept us on track along with all our vendors. She made my daughters wedding planning and wedding day very special!

  The best decision I made!

  Karen Erwin was absolutely amazing! I am a night shift critical care nurse which can be stressful enough without planning a wedding. She worked around my hectic work schedule and made me feel at ease with everything. Me and my now husband moved here 2.5 years ago from the Midwest so we didn’t know where to even begin with vendors, everyone she recommended were amazing. The day couldn’t have been more perfect. It was everything I hoped for and more. I will forever be recommending her to everyone.

  Mother of the bride

  Karen Erwin was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was recommended to me by a friend who knew someone that had used her and I have thanked them multiple times for giving me her info. We have only been in the the area for a few years so that helpful insight she gave on venues to look at , and vendors for everything we needed was a blessing. The package we chose gave us hours of preplanning and help plus day of coordinating for the rehearsal and the complete wedding day! Every vendor that we chose were excellent and professional and the whole experience from beginning to end was everything we imagined. I felt like sometimes Karen was not only a wedding planner but also my personal therapist when I would be overwhelmed with wedding drama but she was always there to listen and make everything right. And her organization and attention to detail of everything that was described and mentioned to her were amazing. I can’t thank Karen enough and would highly recommend her to everyone!

  THE BEST Wedding Planner

  When my mother, husband and I hired Karen, we kept hearing the same thing from vendors: "Thank goodness you're working with Karen." It didn't take long until we knew that we agreed. Karen was the perfect balance of enthusiasm and professionalism. She had every detail down to a T and was knowledgeable about aspects of our wedding from the ceremony to the rehearsal dinner to different types of bustles. She responded to all my questions within hours, if not minutes, and worked magic in finding ways to save us money and achieve our perfect day. Furthermore, she was fabulous in working with my husband and he felt that she respected and understood his priorities in addition to the "girlier" things. If there were one part of my wedding day that I were to recommend to other people, it would be Karen!

  Truly exceptional!

  There are certain individuals in which one’s trust needs to be absolute. Airline pilots and surgeons come to mind quickly, but one might argue that “wedding planner” should be on that list :)
  Without hesitation, we would say that we had absolute trust in Karen Erwin from the first meeting.
  Part of Karen’s skill may be her incredible attention to detail. From the first meeting, Karen asked a lot of questions to understand our vision of the event. She met with us regularly and attended to specifics that we could not have anticipated. Throughout the process she remained unflappable and fully prepared. When we got to the big day itself, she was clearly in charge, totally capable of managing anything that came up. Despite her authority, she still managed the event (and the participants) with pleasure and kindness that kept everyone at ease.
  Another other part of Karen’s success may be her sincere investment in the couple. She knows what an important event the wedding is for them and their families. Our friends and family members have all shared their stories of wedding planning frustrations and wedding day mishaps. My daughter and I came into the planning process with that expectation, but those frustrations and mishaps just never materialized. In other words, we never had a single issue arise on Karen’s watch. Her expertise, wisdom, insight with vendors and positive attitude made both the planning and the wedding day itself an absolute joy for our family. I would give my highest possible recommendations for Karen to manage your special day.

  The Fairy Godmother of wedding planning!

  From the very first introductory phone call, I knew that Karen was my wedding planner. We went with her full-service package and it was incredibly worth it. Karen is probably the most thorough person that I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Each time we spoke we would break down the calendar checklist she created at the start of the process. This was essential and ensured that nothing was left until the last minute. Our engagement was roughly 9 months and in that timeframe when someone would ask me about wedding planning or if I was getting overwhelmed or stressed out; I would simply state that I have the world's best wedding planner and that the process was flawless. On the wedding day, Karen and her team made it so that a rainy beach wedding was still the best day ever! Her team will work tirelessly to ensure that you have the best day of your life!

  Karen is a must have for the perfect wedding!

  Karen is a super woman who knows what she is doing! She was an essential part leading up to and on the wedding day, and made the day of go by SO SMOOTHLY. If there were any hiccups, the bride and groom won't be the ones dealing with it. Karen and her team went above and beyond to make sure my husband & I had the most magical day. She is detail oriented, a great communicator, has A TON of wedding experience, and just took so much stress off of my shoulders as a bride. Her creativity, advice, and help throughout the entire process will always be appreciated as we remember this magical day for the rest of our lives!

  The best wedding planner you could ask for!

  Karen is the absolute best!
  My husband and I live in New York and Karen made planning for our Florida wedding seamless. We were only able to travel to our venue once, but that did not matter because Karen took care of everything. She helped us book the best vendors and left no stone unturned.
  As the bride, the thing I most appreciated was how relaxed and in-the-moment I was able to be because of how organized Karen is. We were able to put full trust in her and I felt fully taken care of throughout the entire process. We could not have done it without her.
  Karen is extremely organized, thoughtful, prepared, and has great relationships with all the vendors in the area. You can tell she has been doing this for a long time because of how professional she is. She also made the process so fun and we are sad that we don't get to speak with her regularly anymore!

  Best Wedding Planner Ever

  Karen went above and beyond our expectations throughout the entire process. Given that our initial wedding was cancelled due to Covid and we had to reschedule another wedding a year later - situations which none of us, including Karen, have ever undergone - she was patient, encouraging, and positive throughout the entire time. There was no way we could have summoned up the courage to see our rescheduled wedding through if it wasn't for her. She was super organized, punctual, and accommodating throughout the entire process. When it came time for the actual wedding, every detail had been thought out, and we received compliments from everyone. My wife has a specific style and Karen made sure to work with her style and support my wife's every decision. She helped us plan our dream wedding even through these unprecedented times and make our dreams become a reality despite the obstacles. I would recommend Karen to anyone!

  Took care of every single step of the day!

  We hired St. Augustine Weddings & Events for our June 2022 wedding with the Wedding Day Director Package and it had to be one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Working with Karen in the months, weeks and days ahead of our special day was an breeze. She made sure we were on track with our planning and put together the most detailed and well though through time line for the day of. By the time we got to the week of the wedding we had nothing to worry about as she was in constant contact with us and all our vendors. Even the day before we had a change in vendor due to illness and she made the process stress free and had already resolved the problem before we knew it existed. When the day of the wedding arrived everything was perfectly in place as we discussed and there was no stress for anyone in the bridal party, Karen was even there with the perfect advise about bad weather that miraculously cleared up for our outdoor ceremony. All of the vendors she had suggested were top notch, professional and amazing to work with. Karen and St. Augustine Weddings & Event were certainly the key to a fun and stress free wedding day.

  Wow! Exceptional!

  Karen literally was my right hand woman (in conjunction with my mom) during the wedding planning process. Her thorough research and relationships on best vendors, communication, and overall “going above and beyond” attitude as she approached every aspect of the process, was incredible. Not only was she efficient and kept every single detail at top of mind (while planning other weddings mind you), she remained organized, calm, thoughtful and was a great sounding board during stressful times on my end. Karen over the past year has truly become an integral part of our lives, and we consider her family at this point. I encourage every single bride who has the ability to hire a wedding planner to PLEASE seek her out. You will be forever grateful and thankful that you did. Karen, thank you a million times over! The ONLY thing I regret about our wedding is not getting a photo with you the day of the wedding ♥️

  I am so fortunate to have found Karen. She is amazing!

  From the first phone call with Karen, I knew I wanted her to help plan our daughters wedding. The entire 10 months of planning went so smoothly. Karen has a wealth of information as well as fantastic vendors she works with. Every detail that I wanted she was able to achieve for me. Karen went above and beyond to make our daughter's wedding day the most wonderful day of her life. It was perfect!!
  Karen's response time to phone calls, texts or emails was almost immediate. And always with great pleasure.
  If you are looking for a wedding planner and, you are lucky enough to contract with Karen, I promise, you will not be sorry.

  Wedding Planning Services

  I cannot put into words how exceptional Karen was throughout our wedding process. My wife and I both have very hectic schedules and Karen was very flexible and patient with us during the wedding planning process. She is extremely detail oriented and well organized, which allowed my wife and I to focus on our big day knowing that we were in good hands. On the day of the wedding, Karen and her team were extremely professional and made sure that we had an outstanding, memorable occasion. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding planner in the St. Augustine area.

  Excellent experience

  Working with Karen Erwin was an unforgettable wonderful experience. Everything went perfectly thanks to Karens hard work. All the years, 2 because of Covid and a postponement, working on this wedding went very smoothly. Karen was always there with positive reinforcement. I could never begin to thank her enough for making my daughters wedding so special. She was a true joy to work with.

  Stress-free Wedding Day!

  Karen Erwin was an amazing wedding planner! From start to finish, she managed every detail flawlessly, making my daughters special day absolutely perfect. She carefully listened to how we wanted the day to go, and made it happen. Instead of givng guest a choice of protein for the dinner, she suggested a Duet. Each guest was given both the Mahi & Chicken in smaller portions. That way we did not need to mail out an extra card and hope that people mail it back. Such great advice!!
  Highly recommend her serrvices for a stress-free and magical wedding!

  Excellent!

  Karen and her team are EXCELLENT!!! Karen is a true professional and expert in her field of wedding planning! Leading up to the wedding she kept me on task- always kind and gracious even when I was a little behind in my "wedding to do" list. She offered encouragement and helped me focus on what was important in the wedding planning process and helped with any etiquette questions I had. The weekend before the wedding I had no anxiety because I knew and trusted Karen and her expertise. Wedding day was the best day of our lives and many thanks go to karen for that- she kept things moving smoothly and helped us have the most perfect day! Thank you Karen for everything you did to make our day perfect!!!

  In the Hands of a real pro

  Karen was hired as the day of and with all her experience, contacts and knowledge she made my life so easy while I was planning.
  Then COVID hit and everything got moved 2 times. She was awesome helping me try to maneuver through unknown waters. So I hired a day of and got a 2 year of!!!
  When our day arose I knew we were in great hands because she had everything down to the strictest time line. Her weekly phone calls confirming we had everything checked off the list was essential so nothing was overlooked. She went above and beyond expectations. The biggest complement I can give her is “I totally enjoyed the day!!!”
  So if you are blessed to hire this company she struck gold.

  Highly Recommend!!

  I would recommend St Augustine Wedding and Special Events to any couple looking to have the most professional and well organized planning service for their big day! We had a Covid postponed event and Karen and her crew were super flexible and understanding with all the changes we experienced. Ultimately when it came time for our wedding reception, I felt they had done such a fantastic job planning and prepping with ALL of our other vendors that all we had to do was have fun and enjoy the time with our family friends. I could not have imagined our day without them on our team!

  Best Wedding Planner Ever!!

  Karen Erwin and her team are truly the best in the business! My wedding was extremely detail oriented, with several different locations, and more than 20 vendors. Karen handled everything with true professionalism, timeliness, and care. She met with me frequently throughout the planning process and made sure that everything was exactly as I wanted it. Despite all her original hard work, the wedding was postponed due to COVID, and yet again Karen contracted with all the vendors, found a new date and orchestrated the same event a year later. I can honestly say that without Karen, her team, and her contact list, my wedding would not have been as perfect as it was and the event that people are still talking about. If you're wedding planning, do yourself a favor and hire Karen/St. Augustine Weddings!
