    Kari is THE BEST OF THE BEST! Our wedding day would not have been as smooth or perfect without her.

    I owe so much to Kari! She made my husband and I so comfortable, happy and calm on our wedding day. She took care of everything! She is so professional and responsive. Kari helped coordinate all of my vendors and was there for any questions I had. If you want your wedding experience to be amazing, book Two River Events!!!

    New to the area? Must book!

    I was new to Virginia a few years ago, and met my now husband here. When we got engaged, we stared blankly at a least of recommended vendors provided to us by our venue.

    Being reasonably new to the area meant that I had no idea where to begin with wedding planning. Booking Two River Events and working with Kari was one of the best decisions we made! Our wedding was seamless, stunning and stress free! She knew what was important to us and made sure it was perfect. Kari was also reasonably priced. But let’s be honest, the perfect wedding day is ultimately priceless. As my husband and I look back on our big day, and the time leading up to it, Kari represents a lot of that. She is amazing and I highly, highly recommend!

    Phenomenal

    If one word can describe Kari - it’s phenomenal. She was the best decision we made when starting the wedding planning process. Kari takes the time and notes to perfect the vision you and your spouse want for your wedding, Having a detailed timeline that goes over every second of the day so nothing gets left out. Even the small things I wasn’t even thinking about. Day of- I wasn’t stressed at all. Kari had everything under control, all moving pieces working in the back ground. If something went wrong, I couldn’t tell you because my wedding day was flawless in my eyes. She is able to adapt and adjust to any obstacle. Kari’s presence just makes you feel calm. You have a professional running your day. My guests still say to this day of how smooth and flawless our wedding day was. If you want an efficient, structured, easy going, calm, fun day- 100% ask for Kari!

    Kari is the best!

    Kari was an absolute gem and SO helpful on the day of our wedding. She set up all the decor I brought and had it packed in boxes at the end so my parents didn’t have to lift a finger. She swooped in and saved the day and figured out how to bustle my dress, among a zillion other little things. She was responsive and fun and kind and just a really huge help. 10/10 recommend!!

    Kari is one of a kind!

    Kari is one of a kind! An incredible day-of coordinator and an amazing individual overall. Kari was super responsive and immediately calmed any nerves or concerns I had. She took the lead effortlessly, while also letting my husband and I drive the car with our wedding wants. Kari went above and beyond for us on our wedding day. She helped us transport our doggo back to the hotel after our ceremony and never missed a beat! She handled the clean-up after our wedding so swiftly and organized everything into the appropriate vehicles to make sure nothing got left behind. From the moment we spoke over the phone and bonded over chocolate chip cookies to the following days after our wedding, the experience working with Kari was incredible. Cannot thank her enough!

    Made the Wedding Day a dream come true

    Kari was absolutely incredible to work with. She made my husband and I feel at ease as she worked diligently with us and behind the scenes to make our wedding day amazing. When troubles popped up Kari was on top of it with a solution, even providing additional ideas and decor on the wedding day to better bring our vision to fruition. Above all else she was a fun and caring person to work with. I can't recommend her enough!

    A+ Day Of Coordinator

    Could spend all day listing out why we loved working with Kari on our recent wedding. She’s extremely organized, funny, caring, and knowledgeable of vendors and small details of our specific venue. All of these traits made our wedding day perfect. We had great vendors as a whole, but it would not have been a perfect day without Kari’s coordination. Throughout the planning process she was extremely reliable and quick to reply and give us advice. Above all, she was honest and put our interests first. She handled getting all required documentation from our vendors to our venue, which was a lot. We continue to keep in touch with her and plan to grab a drink with her whenever she gets some down time back in our area. That’s how much we loved working with her. We can’t thank her enough!!!

She really helped bring the entire day together and there was never a moment of doubt that she’d get the job done flawlessly. We highly recommend Two River Events, Kari is very reliable, professional, and made everything so fun in the process. 10/10 experience!!

    Kari is the best wedding coordinator there is!

    Kari is amazing to work with and I could not have done it without her! She truly made the wedding experience flawless and stress-free. She kept me (and my family) calm and collected throughout the entire wedding process. She is extremely available and flexible. She gathers all your wants/needs/wishes/desires and executes on them.

    Flawless and stressfree

    Thank you Kari for making our day truly special! Everything was organized and ran according to plan! The best feeling is showing up to the wedding and everything is ready and taken care of. Might I add Kari made sure we were able to eat at our own wedding!! I highly recommend Kari to help coordinate any flawless wedding, which truly felt stress free!

    Best Planner in the Area!

    Kari stepped in for us just a couple weeks prior to our wedding because our planner had to step away for an emergency life situation (it happens!), and she nailed it. She took everything we planned to that point, streamlined it in her format, made a few realistic tweaks to help us with flow, and delivered perfectly. I could not imagine my weeding day with her! Kari is an extreme professional, was with us all day, she was first to arrive last to go and she seemed to have a good time doing it all! I can't say enough or give enough small details and examples why she blew us away. If I could do it all again Kari would have been there from day 1!

    Saved The Day

    Prior to ever speaking with Two River Events, my wife and I had a family friend who was going to be our day-of coordinator as a favor. Unfortunately, 4 days prior to our wedding, that person came down with mono so I had to scramble to find a replacement. I reached out to numerous places and not surprisingly, they were all already booked and couldn’t do something on such short notice.

    I found out about Two River Events through the photographer we hired who mentioned he enjoyed working with them at other weddings and so I reached out to Kari - and although she had a wedding she was working herself that weekend, she was able to get us hooked up with her Assistant Wedding Coordinator, Miranda.

    Miranda was great. While the wedding party was spending the day getting ready and taking photos, she worked in the background with the event staff to get everything set up perfectly. There was a period where we didn’t even talk for a solid 5 hours the day of the wedding - which is exactly what you want from a Event Planner. Someone who can just execute without bothering the wedding party with questions.

    The event ended up being fantastic and we couldn’t have asked for more from Two River Events. Thank you!

    Kari was fantastic!!

    Kari was so helpful as our day of coordinator! Her expertise really came through when we were creating our timeline and communicating with all the various vendors we had. The day went smoothly and anything that did come up she handled so well we didn’t even know til after there were any concerns. It let us be in the moment and enjoy our day!! I would highly recommend Kari as your coordinator.

    Absolutely Phenomenal

    Kari is absolutely the best. She is incredibly detail oriented, so so efficient and has every situation completely HANDLED. After meeting her for the first time, we felt so at ease because it was completely evident she had an incredible grasp on our plan and vision and knew exactly how to execute it. She is SO experienced and has dealt with every possible scenario. She is also hilarious, fun and patient (even with some of the idiots in our wedding party). She was laughing along and just part of the group. We adore her and are just so grateful we chose her to help coordinate our wedding. Cannot say enough good things about how easy and wonderful it is to work with her. She goes above and beyond all expectations.

    Cannot Recommend Her Enough!!

    Kari is amazing!!! I cannot recommend her enough. From the moment I spoke with her on the phone, I knew she was the coordinator that I needed! She is extremely helpful, responsive, organized, and just on it! I hired her as my day-of coordinator, but she was so so helpful in the months and weeks leading up to the wedding. Whenever I reached out to her with a question, she was quick to respond and solve my problem or answer my question! With her coordinating my wedding, I felt that myself, my fiance, and my family could all sit back and enjoy the wedding without a worry! In addition to all of this, she is very personable and friendly. I felt like I was interacting with a friend of mine, which was something that I came to really appreciate the day of my wedding! Again - I cannot recommend her enough!

    Organized, efficient, and willing to go the extra mile!!!

    When I say Kari is willing to do anything for the bride and groom, I mean it. She is so organized and so on her game the entire time. I really don't know what we would have done without her. She makes everything so stress free and makes your vision come to life. She even tweaked some of our decor to make it look even better than I had envisioned. She runs a tight ship and is truly a master day of coordinator. I cannot recommend her enough.

    The biggest blessing!

    When I first began planning our wedding I was determined to do all the planning myself and to save some money was going to skip out on hiring a wedding planner. Luckily, our venue knew better than we did, and required us to have at least a day-of coordinator, and thank the Lord they did... Kari was the only reason we made it through the wedding (and planning for that matter) without a hitch. It's so obvious that she knows what she is doing and her confidence and expertise in helping us navigate decisions during planning and day of the wedding was worth its weight in gold. Every little fire that came up (which every wedding will experience tons of them) she had a solution for within minutes which would have taken us weeks to figure out. She was so much more than a planner/ coordinator at our wedding - she was a therapist, a seamstress, an interior decorator, a mover, a chauffeur, a photographer, a choreographer, and a trusted friend above all else.

    Kari was there the night before the wedding setting up tables and chairs by herself so that she would have enough time to be at the church in the morning (an hour away from the venue) to make sure we had everything we needed. When I had to bustle my HUGE dress within 5 minutes because I spent so much time taking pictures, she did it like it was no big deal. And when my heart was racing and my hands were shaking, she was there with a smile and a hug and the assurance that everything was okay and that I needed to just enjoy the day and she would handle the rest because it really is a once in a lifetime moment.

    We really could truly just enjoy our day because we trusted her so much and she was so on top of everything. I can't say enough about Kari and Two River Events, seriously, if you are planning a wedding let yourself enjoy the most special time in your life and don't try to do it all yourself! If you hire Kari you will not regret it, she is the BEST!

    Professional, Efficient, & Fun Planning Experience!

    I highly recommend Two River Events and Kari for your wedding planning needs! From the moment my fiance and I were first in contact with Kari, she proved to be exceedingly knowledgeable, full of helpful advice and suggestions, and extremely efficient and professional. Kari helped us to figure out how to make our day run smoothly and expertly worked with our vendors to make sure everyone knew exactly what to do and when to do it. She executed our vision perfectly and even helped our photographer and videographer to find amazing shots since she was so familiar with our venue (The Middleburg Barn at Foxchase Farms). If you are looking for a vendor that will help you have to have the most amazing wedding day, you won't go wrong by choosing Kari and Two River Events!

    Highly Recommend Two River Events

    Kari is amazing at what she does! My fiancé and I had no idea how to plan a wedding and she was extremely helpful with the dozens of questions we asked. She also recommended our photographer (Heather Chipps Photography) and dj (Kirkabee Deejays) when we were struggling to make decisions and they were outstanding as well. Not only is Kari REALLY good at what she does, but she has an awesome personality. I really enjoyed working with her from the start to the end and we wish we had more events to plan with Two River Events!

    THE Best on the 757!

    Whatever you need, they know how to find it! Kari is amazing. She’s knowledgeable, creative, progressional, and organized. You need someone that’s been in this industry for a long time, and she’s your girl. If you have a question, she’ll know the answer. If you need a vendor, she got you. Two River Events needs to be part of your wedding planning!

    Professionalism at its finest

    Husband : “ We don’t need a wedding planner. I have organized Navy Change of Commands for over 1000 people.”

    Wise Attorney Son who had done his wedding recently :
    “ Yes, Dad. You are a great organizer and you already have a lot written down on charts.
    But, Dad - Wedding planners handle it all. You can’t walk your daughter down the aisle and be other places at the same time. And you want to relax and enjoy your day and your friends.”

    Friend: Hire Keri Scruggs Of Two River Events. She’s the BEST!

    Mom of Bride ( me) Four days before wedding: “But the photographer schedule doesn’t exactly match the schedules for hair, makeup, DJ..., And my daughter is nervous.., And will the napkins blow away if they are put out early??? “ Fret fret fret....,

    Keri Scruggs- “ DON’T WORRY. I’VE GOT THIS!”

    And she did! From coordinating all the vendors and developing a timeline, Keri Scruggs Of Two River Events handled everything with organizational aplomb and CALM!

    She was familiar with our venue. She even checked tides and winds so our beach arbor and chairs were properly placed.

    On our first meeting in a coffee shop, she smiled and said, “ What do you want from me?” I asked; she delivered!

    And she had ideas!!! We had a fabulous moon and stars photo back drop; she had a perfect idea about where to put it. Ditto for the gift table, guest book, bar, cake table, sparkler sendoff. When one of our ideas was not the best, she said ok, but gently offered an alternative.

    She was there for the rehearsal the night before. She worked seamlessly with the officiant and everyone was laughing and comfortable and knew how to stand and what to do!

    The day of the wedding I felt like we were communicating on Secret Security watches, IPhone style!
    As I was in Makeup with the wedding party, she was sending me pictures of the table set up and asking me about a slight switch in the dance floor placement.
    “ No worries about the weather.” Kari texts. It’s beautiful up here. I am checking forecast. It’s going to be Plan A! “ And then, by phone, “ Are you ready to bring bride to this location? I am here with the groom and the photographer. We’re ready for the First Look!”

    As we prepared to walk in, she got everybody in line, and gave the most calming pep talk. She even offered to use a steamer on the bride’s dress if we needed it. She sent the wedding party out right on cue.

    She was there in the background throughout the wedding, like a well dressed guest. The only picture I could find of her was one of her making sure the couple had the special cake servers and Waterford flutes we gave them for the cake cutting and toasts. ( Then she ducked out of the way for the photographer! 😉) Only an observant person would notice she was the maestro, carefully orchestrating each event, working closely with the caterer and DJ. Softly whispering to me that I needed to get back downstairs and eat my dinner with my husband, signaling the start of each dance, cake cutting and special event.
    There she is- quietly removing numbers from tables after each table had been served, taking away signs and prompting end of evening activities.
    My normally shy daughter gave her a big hug at the end of the evening and thanked her for her great work.
    We didn’t worry about cleanup. She and the caterer packed everything up.

    Kari Scruggs, our Day Of planner from Two River Events was our best spent money of the whole wedding. Worth every penny!

    Hire her. As she would say, “ She’s got this!” Five ⭐️stars !

    Simply amazing!

    Two River Events helped to make our wedding day everything we wanted (and more!). Kari and Jessica were a dream to work with. From the initial planning, down to the day-of details, Kari and Jessica were on top of everything. I used Two River Events for day of coordination but we were in touch often about the planning process leading up to the wedding, including two walk throughs at the venue. My questions were answered along the way up until the big day. I felt extremely at ease on my wedding day and leading up to it, knowing we were in good hands. I would recommend Two River Events to anyone looking to make sure their day runs smoothly and is just as perfect as it should be. Thank you Kari and Jessica!

    Kari Was Our MVP!!!

    I don’t think I could possibly recommend Kari highly enough. Our wedding would NEVER have run so smoothly without her, and she helped us in ways that we never would have even guessed we needed. From making emergency Starbucks runs, to sneaking me fruit from cocktail hour to get my blood sugar up, to corralling our crazy wedding party into executing a successful rehearsal, Kari is the definition of “pro.” Plus, you can tell how much she loves her job-- she was always positive and always responsive. I kid you not, hiring Kari was probably the BEST decision we made during our wedding planning process.
