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!
